Yaratiliş 22
1 Daha sonra Tanrı İbrahim'i denedi. “İbrahim!” diye seslendi. İbrahim, “Buradayım!” dedi.
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 Tanrı, “İshak'ı, sevdiğin biricik oğlunu al, Moriya bölgesine git” dedi, “Orada sana göstereceğim bir dağda oğlunu yakmalık sunu olarak sun.”
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 İbrahim sabah erkenden kalktı, eşeğine palan vurdu. Yanına uşaklarından ikisini ve oğlu İshak'ı aldı. Yakmalık sunu için odun yardıktan sonra, Tanrı'nın kendisine belirttiği yere doğru yola çıktı.
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 Üçüncü gün gideceği yeri uzaktan gördü.
On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
5 Uşaklarına, “Siz burada, eşeğin yanında kalın” dedi, “Tapınmak için oğlumla birlikte oraya gidip döneceğiz.”
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 Yakmalık sunu için yardığı odunları oğlu İshak'a yükledi. Ateşi ve bıçağı kendisi aldı. Birlikte giderlerken İshak İbrahim'e, “Baba!” dedi. İbrahim, “Evet, oğlum!” diye yanıtladı. İshak, “Ateşle odun burada, ama yakmalık sunu kuzusu nerede?” diye sordu.
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.
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 İbrahim, “Oğlum, yakmalık sunu için kuzuyu Tanrı kendisi sağlayacak” dedi. İkisi birlikte yürümeye devam ettiler.
Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
9 Tanrı'nın kendisine belirttiği yere varınca İbrahim bir sunak yaptı, üzerine odun dizdi. Oğlu İshak'ı bağlayıp sunaktaki odunların üzerine yatırdı.
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 Onu boğazlamak için uzanıp bıçağı aldı.
Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
11 Ama RAB'bin meleği göklerden, “İbrahim, İbrahim!” diye seslendi. İbrahim, “İşte buradayım!” diye karşılık verdi.
But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
12 Melek, “Çocuğa dokunma” dedi, “Ona hiçbir şey yapma. Şimdi Tanrı'dan korktuğunu anladım, biricik oğlunu benden esirgemedin.”
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 İbrahim çevresine bakınca, boynuzları sık çalılara takılmış bir koç gördü. Gidip koçu getirdi. Oğlunun yerine onu yakmalık sunu olarak sundu.
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 Oraya “Yahve yire” adını verdi. “RAB'bin dağında sağlanacaktır” sözü bu yüzden bugün de söyleniyor.
Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
15 RAB'bin meleği göklerden İbrahim'e ikinci kez seslendi:
The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
16 “RAB diyor ki, kendi üzerime ant içiyorum. Bunu yaptığın için, biricik oğlunu esirgemediğin için
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 seni fazlasıyla kutsayacağım; soyunu göklerin yıldızları, kıyıların kumu kadar çoğaltacağım. Soyun düşmanlarının kentlerini mülk edinecek.
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 Soyunun aracılığıyla yeryüzündeki bütün uluslar kutsanacak. Çünkü sözümü dinledin.”
You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
19 Sonra İbrahim uşaklarının yanına döndü. Birlikte yola çıkıp Beer-Şeva'ya gittiler. İbrahim Beer-Şeva'da kaldı.
Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20 Bir süre sonra İbrahim'e, “Milka, kardeşin Nahor'a çocuklar doğurdu” diye haber verdiler,
After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
21 “İlk oğlu Ûs, kardeşi Bûz, Kemuel –Aram'ın babası–
The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22 Keset, Hazo, Pildaş, Yidlaf, Betuel.”
After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
23 Betuel Rebeka'nın babası oldu. Bu sekiz çocuğu İbrahim'in kardeşi Nahor'a Milka doğurdu.
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 Reuma adındaki cariyesi de Nahor'a Tevah, Gaham, Tahaş ve Maaka'yı doğurdu.
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.
