Бытие 22
1 И бысть по глаголех сих, Бог искушаше Авраама и рече ему: Аврааме, Аврааме. И рече: се аз.
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 И рече: поими сына твоего возлюбленнаго, егоже возлюбил еси, Исаака, и иди на землю Высоку и вознеси его тамо во всесожжение, на едину от гор, ихже ти реку.
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 Востав же Авраам утро, оседла осля свое: поят же с собою два отрочища и Исаака сына своего: и растнив дрова во всесожжение, востав иде, и прииде на место, еже рече ему Бог, в третий день.
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 И воззрев Авраам очима своима, виде место издалече.
On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
5 И рече Авраам отроком своим: сядите зде со ослятем: аз же и детищь пойдем до онде, и поклонившеся возвратимся к вам.
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 Взя же Авраам дрова всесожжения и возложи на Исаака сына своего: взя же в руки и огнь, и ножь, и идоста оба вкупе.
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 Рече же Исаак ко Аврааму отцу своему: отче. Он же рече: что есть, чадо? Рече же: се, огнь и дрова, где есть овча еже во всесожжение?
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 Рече же Авраам: Бог узрит Себе овча во всесожжение, чадо. Шедша же оба вкупе,
Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
9 приидоста на место, еже рече ему Бог: и созда тамо Авраам жертвенник и возложи дрова: и связав Исаака сына своего, возложи его на жертвенник верху дров.
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 И простре Авраам руку свою, взяти ножь, заклати сына своего.
Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
11 И воззва и Ангел Господень с небесе, и рече: Аврааме, Аврааме. Он же рече: се, аз.
But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
12 И рече: да не возложиши руки твоея на отрочища, ниже да сотвориши ему что: ныне бо познах, яко боишися ты Бога, и не пощадел еси сына твоего возлюбленнаго Мене ради.
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 И воззрев Авраам очима своима виде, и се, овен един держимый рогама в саде савек: и иде Авраам, и взя овна, и вознесе его во всесожжение вместо Исаака сына своего.
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 И нарече Авраам имя месту тому: Господь виде: да рекут днесь: на горе Господь явися.
Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
15 И воззва Ангел Господень Авраама вторицею с небесе,
The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
16 глаголя: Мною Самем кляхся, глаголет Господь, егоже ради сотворил еси глагол сей и не пощадел еси сына твоего возлюбленнаго Мене ради:
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 воистинну благословя благословлю тя, и умножая умножу семя твое, яко звезды небесныя, и яко песок вскрай моря: и наследит семя твое грады супостатов,
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 и благословятся о семени твоем вси языцы земнии, занеже послушал еси гласа Моего.
You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
19 Возвратися же Авраам ко отроком своим, и воставше идоша купно ко кладязю Клятвенному: и вселися Авраам у кладязя Клятвеннаго.
Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20 Бысть же по глаголех сих, и поведаша Аврааму, глаголюще: се, роди Мелха и та сыны брату твоему Нахору,
After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
21 Окса первенца, и Вавкса брата его, и Камуила отца Сирска,
The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22 и Хазада, и Азава, и Фалдеса, и Елдафа, и Вафуила:
After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
23 Вафуил же роди Ревекку: осмь сии сынове, ихже роди Мелха Нахору брату Авраамлю:
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 и наложница его, ейже имя Ревма, роди и сия Тавека, и Таама, и Тохоса, и Моха.
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.
