Genesi 22
1 Dopo queste cose, avvenne che Iddio provò Abrahamo, e gli disse: “Abrahamo!” Ed egli rispose: “Eccomi”.
And it came to pass after these things, that Elohim did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 E Dio disse: “Prendi ora il tuo figliuolo, il tuo unico, colui che ami, Isacco, e vattene nel paese di Moriah, e offrilo quivi in olocausto sopra uno dei monti che ti dirò”.
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 E Abrahamo levatosi la mattina di buon’ora, mise il basto al suo asino, prese con sé due de’ suoi servitori e Isacco suo figliuolo, spaccò delle legna per l’olocausto, poi partì per andare al luogo che Dio gli avea detto.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which Elohim had told him.
4 Il terzo giorno, Abrahamo alzò gli occhi e vide da lontano il luogo.
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 E Abrahamo disse ai suoi servitori: “Rimanete qui con l’asino; io ed il ragazzo andremo fin colà e adoreremo; poi torneremo a voi”.
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you,
6 E Abrahamo prese le legna per l’olocausto e le pose addosso a Isacco suo figliuolo; poi prese in mano sua il fuoco e il coltello, e tutti e due s’incamminarono assieme.
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 E Isacco parlò ad Abrahamo suo padre e disse: “Padre mio!” Abrahamo rispose: “Eccomi qui, figlio mio”. E Isacco: “Ecco il fuoco e le legna; ma dov’è l’agnello per l’olocausto?”
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 Abrahamo rispose: “Figliuol mio, Iddio se lo provvederà l’agnello per l’olocausto”. E camminarono ambedue assieme.
And Abraham said, My son, Elohim will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 E giunsero al luogo che Dio gli avea detto, e Abrahamo edificò quivi l’altare, e vi accomodò la legna; legò Isacco suo figliuolo, e lo mise sull’altare, sopra la legna.
And they came to the place which Elohim had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 E Abrahamo stese la mano e prese il coltello per scannare il suo figliuolo.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 Ma l’angelo dell’Eterno gli gridò dal cielo e disse: “Abrahamo, Abrahamo”.
And the angel of YHWH called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 E quegli rispose: “Eccomi”. E l’angelo: “Non metter la mano addosso al ragazzo, e non gli fare alcun male; poiché ora so che tu temi Iddio, giacché non m’hai rifiutato il tuo figliuolo, l’unico tuo”.
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest Elohim, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 E Abrahamo alzò gli occhi, guardò, ed ecco dietro a sé un montone, preso per le corna in un cespuglio. E Abrahamo andò, prese il montone, e l’offerse in olocausto invece del suo figliuolo.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 E Abrahamo pose nome a quel luogo Iehovah-jireh. Per questo si dice oggi: “Al monte dell’Eterno sarà provveduto”.
And Abraham called the name of that place YHWH -Yireh: as it is said to this day, On the mountain YHWH provides.
15 L’angelo dell’Eterno chiamò dal cielo Abrahamo una seconda volta, e disse:
And the angel of YHWH called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 “Io giuro per me stesso, dice l’Eterno, che, siccome tu hai fatto questo e non m’hai rifiutato il tuo figliuolo, l’unico tuo,
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith YHWH, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 io certo ti benedirò e moltiplicherò la tua progenie come le stelle del cielo e come la rena ch’è sul lido del mare; e la tua progenie possederà la porta de’ suoi nemici.
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 E tutte le nazioni della terra saranno benedette nella tua progenie, perché tu hai ubbidito alla mia voce”.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Poi Abrahamo se ne tornò ai suoi servitori; e si levarono, e se n’andarono insieme a Beer-Sceba. E Abrahamo dimorò a Beer-Sceba.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 Dopo queste cose avvenne che fu riferito ad Abrahamo questo: “Ecco Milca ha partorito anch’ella de’ figliuoli a Nahor, tuo fratello:
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
21 Uz, suo primogenito, Buz suo fratello, Kemuel padre d’Aram,
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaf e Bethuel”.
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 E Bethuel generò Rebecca. Questi otto Milca partorì a Nahor, fratello d’Abrahamo.
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 E la concubina di lui, che si chiamava Reumah, partorì anch’essa Thebah, Gaam, Tahash e Maaca.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
