Genesis 22
1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
Quae postquam gesta sunt, tentavit Deus Abraham, et dixit ad eum: Abraham, Abraham. At ille respondit: Adsum.
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.”
Ait illi: Tolle filium tuum unigenitum, quem diligis, Isaac, et vade in terram visionis: atque ibi offeres eum in holocaustum super unum montium quem monstravero tibi.
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.
Igitur Abraham de nocte consurgens, stravit asinum suum: ducens secum duos iuvenes, et Isaac filium suum: cumque concidisset ligna in holocaustum, abiit ad locum quem praeceperat ei Deus.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
Die autem tertio, elevatis oculis, vidit locum procul:
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.”
dixitque ad pueros suos: Expectate hic cum asino: ego autem et puer illuc usque properantes, postquam adoraverimus, revertemur ad vos.
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.
Tulit quoque ligna holocausti, et imposuit super Isaac filium suum: ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium. Cumque duo pergerent simul,
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?”
dixit Isaac patri suo: Pater mi. At ille respondit: Quid vis fili? Ecce, inquit, ignis et ligna: ubi est victima holocausti?
8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
Dixit autem Abraham: Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti, fili mi. Pergebant ergo pariter:
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.
et venerunt ad locum quem ostenderat ei Deus, in quo aedificavit altare, et desuper ligna composuit: cumque alligasset Isaac filium suum, posuit eum in altare super struem lignorum.
10 Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Extenditque manum, et arripuit gladium, ut immolaret filium suum.
11 The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
Et ecce Angelus Domini de caelo clamavit, dicens: Abraham, Abraham. Qui respondit: Adsum.
12 He said, “Do not 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.”
Dixitque ei: Non extendas manum tuam super puerum, neque facias illi quidquam: nunc cognovi quod timeas Dominum, et non pepercisti unigenito filio tuo propter me.
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.
Levavit Abraham oculos suos, viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres haerentem cornibus, quem assumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio.
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.”
Appellavitque nomen loci illius, Dominus videt. Unde usque hodie dicitur: In monte Dominus videbit.
15 The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Vocavit autem Angelus Domini Abraham secundo de caelo, dicens:
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,
Per memetipsum iuravi, dicit Dominus: quia fecisti hanc rem, et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito propter me:
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.
benedicam tibi, et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas caeli, et velut arenam quae est in littore maris: possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum,
18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
et BENEDICENTUR in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae, quia obedisti voci meae.
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos, abieruntque Bersabee simul, et habitavit ibi.
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
His itaque gestis, nunciatum est Abrahae quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nachor fratri suo,
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Hus primogenitum, et Buz fratrem eius, et Camuel patrem Syrorum,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
et Cased, et Azau, Pheldas quoque et Iedlaph,
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
ac Bathuel, de quo nata est Rebecca: octo istos genuit Melcha, Nachor fratri Abrahae.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Concubina vero illius, nomine Roma, peperit Tabee, et Gaham, et Thahas, et Maacha.
