Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God proved Abraham, and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
Dopo queste cose, avvenne che Iddio provò Abrahamo, e gli disse: “Abrahamo!” Ed egli rispose: “Eccomi”.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou love, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah. And offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
E Dio disse: “Prendi ora il tuo figliuolo, il tuo unico, colui che ami, Isacco, e vattene nel paese di Moriah, e offrilo quivi in olocausto sopra uno dei monti che ti dirò”.
3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. And he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
E Abrahamo levatosi la mattina di buon’ora, mise il basto al suo asino, prese con sé due de’ suoi servitori e Isacco suo figliuolo, spaccò delle legna per l’olocausto, poi partì per andare al luogo che Dio gli avea detto.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Il terzo giorno, Abrahamo alzò gli occhi e vide da lontano il luogo.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and come again to you.
E Abrahamo disse ai suoi servitori: “Rimanete qui con l’asino; io ed il ragazzo andremo fin colà e adoreremo; poi torneremo a voi”.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. And they went both of them together.
E Abrahamo prese le legna per l’olocausto e le pose addosso a Isacco suo figliuolo; poi prese in mano sua il fuoco e il coltello, e tutti e due s’incamminarono assieme.
7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he said, Here I am, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
E Isacco parlò ad Abrahamo suo padre e disse: “Padre mio!” Abrahamo rispose: “Eccomi qui, figlio mio”. E Isacco: “Ecco il fuoco e le legna; ma dov’è l’agnello per l’olocausto?”
8 And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son. So they went both of them together.
Abrahamo rispose: “Figliuol mio, Iddio se lo provvederà l’agnello per l’olocausto”. E camminarono ambedue assieme.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
E giunsero al luogo che Dio gli avea detto, e Abrahamo edificò quivi l’altare, e vi accomodò la legna; legò Isacco suo figliuolo, e lo mise sull’altare, sopra la legna.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
E Abrahamo stese la mano e prese il coltello per scannare il suo figliuolo.
11 And the agent of Jehovah called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
Ma l’angelo dell’Eterno gli gridò dal cielo e disse: “Abrahamo, Abrahamo”.
12 And he said, Do not lay thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything to him. For now I know that thou fear God, since thou have not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.
E quegli rispose: “Eccomi”. E l’angelo: “Non metter la mano addosso al ragazzo, e non gli fare alcun male; poiché ora so che tu temi Iddio, giacché non m’hai rifiutato il tuo figliuolo, l’unico tuo”.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
E Abrahamo alzò gli occhi, guardò, ed ecco dietro a sé un montone, preso per le corna in un cespuglio. E Abrahamo andò, prese il montone, e l’offerse in olocausto invece del suo figliuolo.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of Jehovah it shall be provided.
E Abrahamo pose nome a quel luogo Iehovah-jireh. Per questo si dice oggi: “Al monte dell’Eterno sarà provveduto”.
15 And the agent of Jehovah called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
L’angelo dell’Eterno chiamò dal cielo Abrahamo una seconda volta, e disse:
16 and said, By myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, because thou have done this thing, and have not withheld thy son, thine only son,
“Io giuro per me stesso, dice l’Eterno, che, siccome tu hai fatto questo e non m’hai rifiutato il tuo figliuolo, l’unico tuo,
17 that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies,
io certo ti benedirò e moltiplicherò la tua progenie come le stelle del cielo e come la rena ch’è sul lido del mare; e la tua progenie possederà la porta de’ suoi nemici.
18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou have obeyed my voice.
E tutte le nazioni della terra saranno benedette nella tua progenie, perché tu hai ubbidito alla mia voce”.
19 So Abraham returned to his young men. And they rose up and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Poi Abrahamo se ne tornò ai suoi servitori; e si levarono, e se n’andarono insieme a Beer-Sceba. E Abrahamo dimorò a Beer-Sceba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:
Dopo queste cose avvenne che fu riferito ad Abrahamo questo: “Ecco Milca ha partorito anch’ella de’ figliuoli a Nahor, tuo fratello:
21 Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uz, suo primogenito, Buz suo fratello, Kemuel padre d’Aram,
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaf e Bethuel”.
23 And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
E Bethuel generò Rebecca. Questi otto Milca partorì a Nahor, fratello d’Abrahamo.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
E la concubina di lui, che si chiamava Reumah, partorì anch’essa Thebah, Gaam, Tahash e Maaca.
