Genesis 22
1 Quae postquam gesta sunt, tentavit Deus Abraham, et dixit ad eum: Abraham, Abraham. At ille respondit: Adsum.
And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Lo! I [am here].
2 Ait illi: Tolle filium tuum unigenitum, quem diligis, Isaac, et vade in terram visionis: atque ibi offeres eum in holocaustum super unum montium quem monstravero tibi.
And he said, Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 Igitur Abraham de nocte consurgens, stravit asinum suum: ducens secum duos iuvenes, et Isaac filium suum: cumque concidisset ligna in holocaustum, abiit ad locum quem praeceperat ei Deus.
And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole-burnt-offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
4 Die autem tertio, elevatis oculis, vidit locum procul:
on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
5 dixitque ad pueros suos: Expectate hic cum asino: ego autem et puer illuc usque properantes, postquam adoraverimus, revertemur ad vos.
And Abraam said to his servants, Sit ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.
6 Tulit quoque ligna holocausti, et imposuit super Isaac filium suum: ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium. Cumque duo pergerent simul,
And Abraam took the wood of the whole-burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.
7 dixit Isaac patri suo: Pater mi. At ille respondit: Quid vis fili? Ecce, inquit, ignis et ligna: ubi est victima holocausti?
And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole-burnt-offering?
8 Dixit autem Abraham: Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti, fili mi. Pergebant ergo pariter:
And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole-burnt-offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
9 et venerunt ad locum quem ostenderat ei Deus, in quo aedificavit altare, et desuper ligna composuit: cumque alligasset Isaac filium suum, posuit eum in altare super struem lignorum.
came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 Extenditque manum, et arripuit gladium, ut immolaret filium suum.
And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to slay his son.
11 Et ecce Angelus Domini de caelo clamavit, dicens: Abraham, Abraham. Qui respondit: Adsum.
And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
12 Dixitque ei: Non extendas manum tuam super puerum, neque facias illi quidquam: nunc cognovi quod timeas Dominum, et non pepercisti unigenito filio tuo propter me.
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that thou fearest God, and for my sake thou hast not spared thy beloved son.
13 Levavit Abraham oculos suos, viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres haerentem cornibus, quem assumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio.
And Abraam lifted up his eyes and beheld, and lo! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole-burnt-offering in the place of Isaac his son.
14 Appellavitque nomen loci illius, Dominus videt. Unde usque hodie dicitur: In monte Dominus videbit.
And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord hath seen; that they might say to-day, In the mount the Lord was seen.
15 Vocavit autem Angelus Domini Abraham secundo de caelo, dicens:
And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because thou hast done this thing, and on my account hast not spared thy beloved son,
16 Per memetipsum iuravi, dicit Dominus: quia fecisti hanc rem, et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito propter me:
surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and thy seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
17 benedicam tibi, et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas caeli, et velut arenam quae est in littore maris: possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum,
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
18 et BENEDICENTUR in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae, quia obedisti voci meae.
And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam dwelt at the well of the oath.
19 Reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos, abieruntque Bersabee simul, et habitavit ibi.
And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor thy brother,
20 His itaque gestis, nunciatum est Abrahae quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nachor fratri suo,
Uz the first-born, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
21 Hus primogenitum, et Buz fratrem eius, et Camuel patrem Syrorum,
Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
22 et Cased, et Azau, Pheldas quoque et Iedlaph,
these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
23 ac Bathuel, de quo nata est Rebecca: octo istos genuit Melcha, Nachor fratri Abrahae.
And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
24 Concubina vero illius, nomine Roma, peperit Tabee, et Gaham, et Thahas, et Maacha.
