< Pirmā Mozus 22 >

1 Un notikās pēc šīm lietām, tad Dievs Ābrahāmu pārbaudīja un uz to sacīja: Ābrahām!
Several years later, God tested Abraham [to find out] whether Abraham [really trusted in him and would obey him]. He called out to Abraham, and Abraham replied, “I’m here.”
2 Un tas atbildēja: Redzi, še es esmu. Un Viņš sacīja: ņem jel savu dēlu, savu vienīgo, ko tu mīļo, to Īzaku, un ej uz Morijas zemi, un upurē to tur par dedzināmo upuri uz viena no tiem kalniem, ko Es tev sacīšu.
God said, “Your son, Isaac, whom you love very much, is the only son [who is still here with you]. But take him and go together to the Moriah region. Offer him as a sacrifice like a burnt offering, on a hill that I will show you.”
3 Un rītā agri Ābrahāms cēlās un apjoza savu ēzeli un ņēma līdz divus no saviem puišiem un Īzaku savu dēlu, un skaldīja malku priekš tā dedzināmā upura un cēlās un gāja uz to vietu, ko Dievs tam bija sacījis.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, put a saddle on his donkey, and took with him two of his servants along with his son, Isaac. He also chopped some wood to kindle a fire for a burnt offering. Then they started traveling to the place God told him about.
4 Un trešā dienā Ābrahāms pacēla savas acis un redzēja to vietu no tālienes.
On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
5 Un Ābrahāms sacīja uz saviem puišiem: palieciet jūs teju ar to ēzeli, un es un tas puisēns iesim uz turieni un pielūgsim; tad atkal atnāksim pie jums.
Abraham said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We will worship God there, and then we will come back to you.”
6 Un Ābrahāms ņēma tā dedzināmā upura malku un to uzlika Īzakam, savam dēlam, un ņēma savā rokā uguni un nazi, un tie gāja abi kopā.
Then Abraham took the wood to kindle a fire for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, for him to carry. Abraham carried in his hand a [pan containing burning coals to start a] fire, and a knife, and the two of them walked along together.
7 Tad Īzaks runāja ar Ābrahāmu, savu tēvu, un sacīja: mans tēvs! Un viņš sacīja: redz, še es esmu, mans dēls. Un tas sacīja: redz, še uguns un malka, bet kur ir tas jērs par dedzināmo upuri?
Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and [coals to light] a fire, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Tad Ābrahāms sacīja: Dievs Sev izredzēs jēru par dedzināmo upuri, mans dēls. Un tie gāja abi kopā.
Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
9 Un tie nāca tai vietā, ko Dievs viņam bija sacījis, un Ābrahāms tur uztaisīja altāri un salika to malku un saistīja Īzaku, savu dēlu, un lika to uz to altāri malkai virsū.
They arrived at the place God had told him about. There, Abraham built a stone altar and arranged the wood on top of it. Then he tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.
10 Un Ābrahāms izstiepa savu roku un ņēma nazi, savu dēlu nokaut.
Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
11 Bet Tā Kunga eņģelis sauca no debesīm uz to un sacīja: Ābrahām! Ābrahām! Un tas sacīja: redzi, še es esmu.
But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
12 Tad viņš sacīja: neizstiep savu roku pret to puisi un nedari tam nekā, jo nu Es zinu, ka tu Dievu bīsties un savu dēlu, savu vienīgo, neesi taupījis Manis labad.
The angel said, “Do not harm the boy or do anything to injure him, because now I know that you respect and obey God. I know that because you have not refused to sacrifice your son, the only son [who is still with you].”
13 Un Ābrahāms pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, aiz viņa bija auns, biezos krūmos ar saviem ragiem aizķēries; un Ābrahāms gāja un ņēma to aunu, un to upurēja par dedzināmo upuri sava dēla vietā.
Then Abraham looked up and saw that a ram was nearby, whose horns had been caught in a (thicket/clump of bushes). So Abraham went over and grabbed the ram [and killed it], and sacrificed it on the altar as a burnt offering, instead of his son.
14 Un Ābrahāms nosauca tās vietas vārdu: Tas Kungs redz. Tad vēl šodien saka: uz tā kalna, kur Tas Kungs parādās.
Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
15 Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis otru reizi uz Ābrahāmu sauca no debesīm
The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
16 Un sacīja: Es esmu pie Sevis zvērējis, saka Tas Kungs, - tāpēc ka tu tā esi darījis un savu dēlu, savu vienīgo, neesi taupījis, -
He said, “I, Yahweh your Lord, am telling you that you did what I told you, and you have not refused to sacrifice your only son [that is with you]. So I say, ‘I solemnly swear, with myself as my witness,
17 Ka Es svētīdams tevi svētīšu un vairodams vairošu tavu dzimumu, tā kā debess zvaigznes un kā smiltis, kas ir jūrmalā, un tavs dzimums iemantos tavu ienaidnieku vārtus.
that some day your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. And your descendants will defeat their enemies and capture their cities [SYN].’
18 Un iekš tavas sēklas visas tautas virs zemes taps svētītas, tāpēc ka tu Manai balsij esi paklausījis.
You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
19 Un Ābrahāms griezās atpakaļ pie saviem puišiem, un tie cēlās un gāja kopā uz Bēršebu, un Ābrahāms mita Bēršebā.
Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20 Un pēc šīm lietām Ābrahāmam tapa sludināts un sacīts: redzi, Milka Nahoram, tavam brālim, arī bērnus ir dzemdējusi,
After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
21 Ucu, viņa pirmdzimto, un Buzu, viņa brāli, un Ķemuēli, Arama tēvu,
The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22 Un Ķesedu un Hazu un Pildašu un Jitlapu un Betuēli.
After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
23 Un Betuēls dzemdināja Rebeku. Šos astoņus dzemdēja Milka Nahoram, Ābrahāma brālim.
who was the father of Rebekah, [who later became Isaac’s wife]. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor.
24 Un viņa lieka sieva, Reūma vārdā, dzemdēja arīdzan: Tebu un Gaāmu un Taāsu un Maāku.
Nahor also had a (concubine/female slave whom he took as a wife), whose name was Beumah. She gave birth to four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
