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 Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am].
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 now thy son, thy only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will name to thee.
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 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and cleft the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose and went to the place which God had named to him.
4 Die autem tertio, elevatis oculis, vidit locum procul:
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and 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 Abraham said to his young men, Abide you here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and 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 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 dixit Isaac patri suo: Pater mi. At ille respondit: Quid vis fili? Ecce, inquit, ignis et ligna: ubi est victima holocausti?
And Isaac spoke to 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 Dixit autem Abraham: Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti, fili mi. Pergebant ergo pariter:
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt-offering: so they went both of them 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.
And they came to the place which God had named to him; 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 Extenditque manum, et arripuit gladium, ut immolaret filium suum.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 Et ecce Angelus Domini de caelo clamavit, dicens: Abraham, Abraham. Qui respondit: Adsum.
And the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here [am] I.
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 thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing to him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld from me thy son, thy only [son].
13 Levavit Abraham oculos suos, viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres haerentem cornibus, quem assumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio.
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 for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
14 Appellavitque nomen loci illius, Dominus videt. Unde usque hodie dicitur: In monte Dominus videbit.
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it will be seen.
15 Vocavit autem Angelus Domini Abraham secundo de caelo, dicens:
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven the second time,
16 Per memetipsum iuravi, dicit Dominus: quia fecisti hanc rem, et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito propter me:
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only [son]:
17 benedicam tibi, et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas caeli, et velut arenam quae est in littore maris: possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum,
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which [is] on the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 et BENEDICENTUR in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae, quia obedisti voci meae.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed: because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos, abieruntque Bersabee simul, et habitavit ibi.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 His itaque gestis, nunciatum est Abrahae quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nachor fratri suo,
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children to thy brother Nahor;
21 Hus primogenitum, et Buz fratrem eius, et Camuel patrem Syrorum,
Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 et Cased, et Azau, Pheldas quoque et Iedlaph,
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 ac Bathuel, de quo nata est Rebecca: octo istos genuit Melcha, Nachor fratri Abrahae.
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah bore to Nahor Abraham's brother.
24 Concubina vero illius, nomine Roma, peperit Tabee, et Gaham, et Thahas, et Maacha.
And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
