Genesis 22
1 quae postquam gesta sunt temptavit Deus Abraham et dixit ad eum Abraham ille respondit adsum
And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
2 ait ei tolle filium tuum unigenitum quem diligis Isaac et vade in terram Visionis atque offer eum ibi holocaustum super unum montium quem monstravero tibi
And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto 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
So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to him.
4 die autem tertio elevatis oculis vidit locum procul
It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 dixitque ad pueros suos expectate hic cum asino ego et puer illuc usque properantes postquam adoraverimus revertemur ad vos
And Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto you.
6 tulit quoque ligna holocausti et inposuit super Isaac filium suum ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium cumque duo pergerent simul
So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, 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
Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
8 dixit Abraham Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti fili mi pergebant ergo pariter
And Abraham said, God, will provide for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, together.
9 veneruntque ad locum quem ostenderat ei Deus in quo aedificavit altare et desuper ligna conposuit cumque conligasset Isaac filium suum posuit eum in altari super struem lignorum
Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.
10 extenditque manum et arripuit gladium ut immolaret filium
And Abraham put 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
Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
12 dixitque ei non extendas manum tuam super puerum neque facias illi quicquam nunc cognovi quod timeas Dominum et non peperceris filio tuo unigenito propter me
Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.
13 levavit Abraham oculos viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres herentem cornibus quem adsumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead of his son.
14 appellavitque nomen loci illius Dominus videt unde usque hodie dicitur in monte Dominus videbit
So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
15 vocavit autem angelus Domini Abraham secundo de caelo dicens
Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
16 per memet ipsum iuravi dicit Dominus quia fecisti rem hanc et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito
and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,
17 benedicam tibi et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas caeli et velut harenam quae est in litore maris possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum
That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
18 et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae quia oboedisti voci meae
So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
19 reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos abieruntque Bersabee simul et habitavit ibi
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
20 his itaque gestis nuntiatum est Abraham quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nahor fratri suo
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, —Behold! Milcah—she also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
21 Hus primogenitum et Buz fratrem eius Camuhel patrem Syrorum
Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
22 et Chased 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 Nahor fratri Abraham
And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
24 concubina vero illius nomine Roma peperit Tabee et Gaom et Thaas et Maacha
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
