Genesis 22
1 quae postquam gesta sunt temptavit Deus Abraham et dixit ad eum Abraham ille respondit adsum
It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
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
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
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, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had told him about.
4 die autem tertio elevatis oculis vidit locum procul
On the third day Abraham looked up 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
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again to you.”
6 tulit quoque ligna holocausti et inposuit super Isaac filium suum ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium cumque duo pergerent simul
Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the 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
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 dixit Abraham Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti fili mi pergebant ergo pariter
Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, 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
When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 extenditque manum et arripuit gladium ut immolaret filium
Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
11 et ecce angelus Domini de caelo clamavit dicens Abraham Abraham qui respondit adsum
Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
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
He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 levavit Abraham oculos viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres herentem cornibus quem adsumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio
Abraham looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 appellavitque nomen loci illius Dominus videt unde usque hodie dicitur in monte Dominus videbit
So Abraham called that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
15 vocavit autem angelus Domini Abraham secundo de caelo dicens
The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
16 per memet ipsum iuravi dicit Dominus quia fecisti rem hanc et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito
and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 benedicam tibi et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas caeli et velut harenam quae est in litore maris possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum
I will surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
18 et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae quia oboedisti voci meae
Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have 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 departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
20 his itaque gestis nuntiatum est Abraham quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nahor fratri suo
It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
21 Hus primogenitum et Buz fratrem eius Camuhel patrem Syrorum
They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 et Chased et Azau Pheldas quoque et Iedlaph
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 ac Bathuel de quo nata est Rebecca octo istos genuit Melcha Nahor fratri Abraham
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 concubina vero illius nomine Roma peperit Tabee et Gaom et Thaas et Maacha
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
