1 Poslije toga šæaše Bog okušati Avrama, pa mu reèe: Avrame! A on odgovori: evo me.
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 I reèe mu Bog: uzmi sada sina svojega, jedinca svojega miloga, Isaka, pa idi u zemlju Moriju, i spali ga na žrtvu tamo na brdu gdje æu ti kazati.
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 I sjutradan rano ustavši Avram osamari magarca svojega, i uze sa sobom dva momka i Isaka sina svojega; i nacijepavši drva za žrtvu podiže se i poðe na mjesto koje mu kaza Bog.
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 Treæi dan podigavši oèi svoje Avram ugleda mjesto izdaleka.
It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 I reèe Avram momcima svojim: ostanite vi ovdje s magarcem, a ja i dijete idemo onamo, pa kad se pomolimo Bogu, vratiæemo se k vama.
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 I uzevši Avram drva za žrtvu naprti Isaku sinu svojemu, a sam uze u svoje ruke ognja i nož; pa otidoše obojica zajedno.
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 Tada reèe Isak Avramu ocu svojemu: oèe! A on reèe: što, sine! I reèe Isak: eto ognja i drva, a gdje je jagnje za žrtvu?
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 A Avram odgovori: Bog æe se, sinko, postarati za jagnje sebi na žrtvu. I iðahu obojica zajedno.
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 A kad doðoše na mjesto koje mu Bog kaza, Avram naèini ondje žrtvenik, i metnu drva na nj, i svezavši Isaka sina svojega metnu ga na žrtvenik vrh drva;
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 I izmahnu Avram rukom svojom i uze nož da zakolje sina svojega.
And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
11 Ali anðeo Gospodnji viknu ga s neba, i reèe: Avrame! Avrame! A on reèe: evo me.
Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
12 A anðeo reèe: ne diži ruke svoje na dijete, i ne èini mu ništa; jer sada poznah da se bojiš Boga, kad nijesi požalio sina svojega, jedinca svojega, mene radi.
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 I Avram podigavši oèi svoje pogleda; i gle, ovan iza njega zapleo se u èesti rogovima; i otišavši Avram uze ovna i spali ga na žrtvu mjesto sina svojega.
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 I nazva Avram ono mjesto: Gospod æe se postarati. Zato se i danas kaže: na brdu, gdje æe se Gospod postarati.
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 I anðeo Gospodnji opet viknu s neba Avrama.
Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
16 I reèe: sobom se zakleh, veli Gospod: kad si tako uèinio, i nijesi požalio sina svojega, jedinca svojega,
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 Zaista æu te blagosloviti i sjeme tvoje veoma umnožiti, da ga bude kao zvijezda na nebu i kao pijeska na brijegu morskom; i naslijediæe sjeme tvoje vrata neprijatelja svojih.
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 I blagosloviæe se u sjemenu tvojem svi narodi na zemlji, kad si poslušao glas moj.
So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
19 Tada se Avram vrati k momcima svojim, te se digoše, i otidoše zajedno u Virsaveju, jer Avram življaše u Virsaveji.
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 Poslije toga javiše Avramu govoreæi: gle, i Melha rodi sinove bratu tvojemu Nahoru:
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 Uza prvenca i Vuza brata mu, i Kamuila, oca Avramova,
Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
22 I Hazada i Azava i Faldesa i Jeldafa i Vatuila.
and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, —and Bethuel;
23 A Vatuilo rodi Reveku. Osam ih rodi Melha Nahoru bratu Avramovu.
And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
24 A inoèa njegova, po imenu Revma, rodi i ona Taveka i Gama i Tohosa i Moha.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
