Genesis 22
1 Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
And aftir that these thingis weren don, God assaiede Abraham, and seide to hym, Abraham! Abraham! He answerde, Y am present.
2 And he said to him, Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge.
God seide to him, Take thi `sone oon gendrid, whom thou louest, Ysaac; and go into the lond of visioun, and offre thou hym there in to brent sacrifice, on oon of the hillis whiche Y schal schewe to thee.
3 And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.
Therfor Abraham roos bi niyt, and sadlide his asse, and ledde with hym twey yonge men, and Ysaac his sone; and whanne he hadde hewe trees in to brent sacrifice, he yede to the place which God hadde comaundid to him.
4 And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.
Forsothe in the thridde dai he reiside hise iyen, and seiy a place afer;
5 Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.
and he seide to hise children, Abide ye here with the asse, Y and the child schulen go thidur; and aftir that we han worschipid, we schulen turne ayen to you.
6 And Abraham put the wood for the burned offering on his son's back, and he himself took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.
And he took the trees of brent sacrifice, and puttide on Ysaac his sone; forsothe he bar fier, and a swerd in hise hondis. And whanne thei tweyne yeden togidere, Isaac seide to his fadir, My fadir!
7 Then Isaac said to Abraham, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, We have wood and fire here, but where is the lamb for the burned offering?
And he answerde, What wolt thou, sone? He seide, Lo! fier and trees, where is the beeste of brent sacrifice?
8 And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.
Abraham seide, My sone, God schal puruey to hym the beeste of brent sacrifice.
9 And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.
Therfor thei yeden to gidere, and camen to the place whiche God hadde schewid to hym, in which place Abraham bildide an auter, and dresside trees a boue; and whanne he hadde bounde to gidere Ysaac, his sone, he puttide Ysaac in the auter, on the heep of trees.
10 And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.
And he helde forth his hond, and took the swerd to sacrifice his sone.
11 But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
And lo! an aungel of the Lord criede fro heuene, and seide, Abraham! Abraham!
12 And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.
Which answerde, I am present. And the aungel seide to hym, Holde thou not forth thin honde on the child, nether do thou ony thing to him; now Y haue knowe that thou dredist God, and sparidist not thin oon gendrid sone for me.
13 And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.
Abraham reiside hise iyen, and he seiy `bihynde his bak a ram cleuynge bi hornes among breris, which he took, and offride brent sacrifice for the sone.
14 And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.
And he clepide the name of that place, The Lord seeth; wherfore it is seyd, til to dai, The Lord schal see in the hil.
15 And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,
Forsothe the aungel of the Lord clepide Abraham the secounde tyme fro heuene,
16 Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,
and seide, The Lord seith, Y haue swore bi my silf, for thou hast do this thing, and hast not sparid thin oon gendrid for me,
17 That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;
Y schal blesse thee, and Y schal multiplie thi seed as the sterris of heuene, and as grauel which is in the brynk of the see; thi seed schal gete the yatis of hise enemyes;
18 And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.
and alle the folkis of erthe schulen be blessid in thi seed, for thou obeiedist to my vois.
19 Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.
Abraham turnede ayen to hise children, and thei yeden to Bersabee to gidere, and he dwellide there.
20 After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;
And so whanne these thingis weren don, it was teld to Abraham that also Melcha hadde bore sones to Nachor his brother;
21 Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,
Hus the firste gendrid, and Buz his brothir, and Chamuhel the fadir of Sireis,
22 And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
and Cased, and Asan, and Feldas,
23 Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.
and Jedlaf, and Batuhel, of whom Rebecca was borun; Melcha childide these eiyte to Nachor brother of Abraham.
24 And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
Forsothe his concubyn, Roma bi name, childide Thabee, and Gaon, and Thaas, and Maacha.
