< Genesis 22 >

1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
这些事以后, 神要试验亚伯拉罕,就呼叫他说:“亚伯拉罕!”他说:“我在这里。”
2 He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
神说:“你带着你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,你所爱的以撒,往摩利亚地去,在我所要指示你的山上,把他献为燔祭。”
3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
亚伯拉罕清早起来,备上驴,带着两个仆人和他儿子以撒,也劈好了燔祭的柴,就起身往 神所指示他的地方去了。
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
到了第三日,亚伯拉罕举目远远地看见那地方。
5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
亚伯拉罕对他的仆人说:“你们和驴在此等候,我与童子往那里去拜一拜,就回到你们这里来。”
6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
亚伯拉罕把燔祭的柴放在他儿子以撒身上,自己手里拿着火与刀;于是二人同行。
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
以撒对他父亲亚伯拉罕说:“父亲哪!”亚伯拉罕说:“我儿,我在这里。”以撒说:“请看,火与柴都有了,但燔祭的羊羔在哪里呢?”
8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
亚伯拉罕说:“我儿, 神必自己预备作燔祭的羊羔。”于是二人同行。
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
他们到了 神所指示的地方,亚伯拉罕在那里筑坛,把柴摆好,捆绑他的儿子以撒,放在坛的柴上。
10 Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
亚伯拉罕就伸手拿刀,要杀他的儿子。
11 The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
耶和华的使者从天上呼叫他说:“亚伯拉罕!亚伯拉罕!”他说:“我在这里。”
12 He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
天使说:“你不可在这童子身上下手。一点不可害他!现在我知道你是敬畏 神的了;因为你没有将你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,留下不给我。”
13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
亚伯拉罕举目观看,不料,有一只公羊,两角扣在稠密的小树中,亚伯拉罕就取了那只公羊来,献为燔祭,代替他的儿子。
14 Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
亚伯拉罕给那地方起名叫“耶和华以勒”,直到今日人还说:“在耶和华的山上必有预备。”
15 The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
耶和华的使者第二次从天上呼叫亚伯拉罕说:
16 and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
“耶和华说:‘你既行了这事,不留下你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,我便指着自己起誓说:
17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
论福,我必赐大福给你;论子孙,我必叫你的子孙多起来,如同天上的星,海边的沙。你子孙必得着仇敌的城门,
18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
并且地上万国都必因你的后裔得福,因为你听从了我的话。’”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
于是亚伯拉罕回到他仆人那里,他们一同起身往别是巴去,亚伯拉罕就住在别是巴。
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
这事以后,有人告诉亚伯拉罕说:“密迦给你兄弟拿鹤生了几个儿子,
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
长子是乌斯,他的兄弟是布斯和亚兰的父亲基母利,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
并基薛、哈琐、必达、益拉、彼土利(彼土利生利百加)。”
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
这八个人都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的。
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
拿鹤的妾名叫流玛,生了提八、迦含、他辖,和玛迦。
