Kejadian 22
1 Setelah semuanya itu Allah mencoba Abraham. Ia berfirman kepadanya: "Abraham," lalu sahutnya: "Ya, Tuhan."
After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
2 Firman-Nya: "Ambillah anakmu yang tunggal itu, yang engkau kasihi, yakni Ishak, pergilah ke tanah Moria dan persembahkanlah dia di sana sebagai korban bakaran pada salah satu gunung yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu."
He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
3 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi bangunlah Abraham, ia memasang pelana keledainya dan memanggil dua orang bujangnya beserta Ishak, anaknya; ia membelah juga kayu untuk korban bakaran itu, lalu berangkatlah ia dan pergi ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya.
And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
4 Ketika pada hari ketiga Abraham melayangkan pandangnya, kelihatanlah kepadanya tempat itu dari jauh.
Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
5 Kata Abraham kepada kedua bujangnya itu: "Tinggallah kamu di sini dengan keledai ini; aku beserta anak ini akan pergi ke sana; kami akan sembahyang, sesudah itu kami kembali kepadamu."
And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
6 Lalu Abraham mengambil kayu untuk korban bakaran itu dan memikulkannya ke atas bahu Ishak, anaknya, sedang di tangannya dibawanya api dan pisau. Demikianlah keduanya berjalan bersama-sama.
He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
7 Lalu berkatalah Ishak kepada Abraham, ayahnya: "Bapa." Sahut Abraham: "Ya, anakku." Bertanyalah ia: "Di sini sudah ada api dan kayu, tetapi di manakah anak domba untuk korban bakaran itu?"
Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
8 Sahut Abraham: "Allah yang akan menyediakan anak domba untuk korban bakaran bagi-Nya, anakku." Demikianlah keduanya berjalan bersama-sama.
But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
9 Sampailah mereka ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya. Lalu Abraham mendirikan mezbah di situ, disusunnyalah kayu, diikatnya Ishak, anaknya itu, dan diletakkannya di mezbah itu, di atas kayu api.
And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 Sesudah itu Abraham mengulurkan tangannya, lalu mengambil pisau untuk menyembelih anaknya.
And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
11 Tetapi berserulah Malaikat TUHAN dari langit kepadanya: "Abraham, Abraham." Sahutnya: "Ya, Tuhan."
And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
12 Lalu Ia berfirman: "Jangan bunuh anak itu dan jangan kauapa-apakan dia, sebab telah Kuketahui sekarang, bahwa engkau takut akan Allah, dan engkau tidak segan-segan untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal kepada-Ku."
And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
13 Lalu Abraham menoleh dan melihat seekor domba jantan di belakangnya, yang tanduknya tersangkut dalam belukar. Abraham mengambil domba itu, lalu mengorbankannya sebagai korban bakaran pengganti anaknya.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
14 Dan Abraham menamai tempat itu: "TUHAN menyediakan"; sebab itu sampai sekarang dikatakan orang: "Di atas gunung TUHAN, akan disediakan."
And he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
15 Untuk kedua kalinya berserulah Malaikat TUHAN dari langit kepada Abraham,
Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 kata-Nya: "Aku bersumpah demi diri-Ku sendiri--demikianlah firman TUHAN--: Karena engkau telah berbuat demikian, dan engkau tidak segan-segan untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal kepada-Ku,
“By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
17 maka Aku akan memberkati engkau berlimpah-limpah dan membuat keturunanmu sangat banyak seperti bintang di langit dan seperti pasir di tepi laut, dan keturunanmu itu akan menduduki kota-kota musuhnya.
I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 Oleh keturunanmulah semua bangsa di bumi akan mendapat berkat, karena engkau mendengarkan firman-Ku."
And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
19 Kemudian kembalilah Abraham kepada kedua bujangnya, dan mereka bersama-sama berangkat ke Bersyeba; dan Abraham tinggal di Bersyeba.
Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
20 Sesudah itu Abraham mendapat kabar: "Juga Milka telah melahirkan anak-anak lelaki bagi Nahor, saudaramu:
After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
21 Us, anak sulung, dan Bus, adiknya, dan Kemuel, ayah Aram,
Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
22 juga Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Yidlaf dan Betuel."
and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
23 Dan Betuel memperanakkan Ribka. Kedelapan orang inilah dilahirkan Milka bagi Nahor, saudara Abraham itu.
as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
24 Dan gundik Nahor, yang namanya Reuma, melahirkan anak juga, yakni Tebah, Gaham, Tahash dan Maakha.
In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
