Gênesis 22
1 E aconteceu depois destas coisas, que tentou Deus a Abraão, e disse-lhe: Abraão! E ele disse: Eis-me aqui.
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 E disse: Toma agora o teu filho, o teu único filho, Isaac, a quem amas, e vai-te à terra de Moriah, e oferece-o ali em holocausto sobre uma das montanhas, que eu te direi.
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 Então se levantou Abraão pela manhã de madrugada, e albardou o seu jumento, e tomou consigo dois de seus moços e Isaac seu filho; e fendeu lenha para o holocausto, e levantou-se, e foi ao lugar que Deus lhe dissera.
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 Ao terceiro dia levantou Abraão os seus olhos, e viu o lugar de longe.
On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
5 E disse Abraão a seus moços: ficai-vos aqui com o jumento, e eu e o moço iremos até ali; e havendo adorado, tornaremos a vós
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 E tomou Abraão a lenha do holocausto, e pô-la sobre Isaac seu filho; e ele tomou o fogo e o cutelo na sua mão, e foram ambos juntos.
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 Então falou Isaac a Abraão seu pai, e disse: Meu pai! E ele disse: Eis-me aqui, meu filho! E ele disse: Eis aqui o fogo e a lenha, mas onde está o cordeiro para o holocausto?
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 E disse Abraão: Deus proverá para si o cordeiro para o holocausto, meu filho. Assim caminharam ambos juntos.
Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
9 E vieram ao lugar que Deus lhe dissera, e edificou Abraão ali um altar, e pôs em ordem a lenha, e amarrou a Isaac seu filho, e deitou-o sobre o altar em cima da lenha.
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 E estendeu Abraão a sua mão, e tomou o cutelo para imolar o seu filho;
Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
11 Mas o anjo do Senhor lhe bradou desde os céus, e disse: Abraão, Abraão! E ele disse: Eis-me aqui.
But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
12 Então disse: Não estendas a tua mão sobre o moço, e não lhe faças nada: porquanto agora sei que temes a Deus, e não me negaste o teu filho, o teu único.
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 Então levantou Abraão os seus olhos, e olhou; e eis um carneiro detraz dele, travado pelas suas pontas num mato; e foi Abraão, e tomou o carneiro, e ofereceu-o em holocausto, em lugar de seu filho.
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 E chamou Abraão o nome daquele lugar, o Senhor proverá; de onde se diz até ao dia de hoje: No monte do Senhor se proverá.
Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
15 Então o anjo do Senhor bradou a Abraão pela segunda vez desde os céus,
The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
16 E disse: Por mim mesmo, jurei, diz o Senhor: Porquanto fizeste esta ação, e não negaste o teu filho, o teu único,
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 Que deveras te abençoarei, e grandissimamente multiplicarei a tua semente como as estrelas dos céus, e como a areia que está na praia do mar; e a tua semente possuirá a porta dos seus inimigos;
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 E em tua semente serão benditas todas as nações da terra; porquanto obedeceste à minha voz
You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
19 Então Abraão tornou aos seus moços, e levantaram-se, e foram juntos para Berseba; e Abraão habitou em Berseba.
Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20 E sucedeu depois destas coisas, que anunciaram a Abraão, dizendo: Eis que também Milcah pariu filhos a Nahor teu irmão:
After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
21 Uz o seu primogênito, e Buz seu irmão, e Kemuel, pai de Aram,
The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22 E Chesed, e Hazo, e Pildas, e Jidlaph, e Bethuel.
After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
23 E Bethuel gerou Rebeca: estes oito pariu Milcah a Nahor, irmão de Abraão.
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 E a sua concubina, cujo nome era Reuma, ela pariu também a Tebah, e Gaham, e Tahash e Maacah.
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.
