Genesi 22
1 Dopo queste cose, avvenne che Iddio provò Abrahamo, e gli disse: “Abrahamo!” Ed egli rispose: “Eccomi”.
It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
2 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”.
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
3 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.
So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had told him about.
4 Il terzo giorno, Abrahamo alzò gli occhi e vide da lontano il luogo.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
5 E Abrahamo disse ai suoi servitori: “Rimanete qui con l’asino; io ed il ragazzo andremo fin colà e adoreremo; poi torneremo a voi”.
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again to you.”
6 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.
Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
7 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?”
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abrahamo rispose: “Figliuol mio, Iddio se lo provvederà l’agnello per l’olocausto”. E camminarono ambedue assieme.
Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, both of them together.
9 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.
When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 E Abrahamo stese la mano e prese il coltello per scannare il suo figliuolo.
Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
11 Ma l’angelo dell’Eterno gli gridò dal cielo e disse: “Abrahamo, Abrahamo”.
Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
12 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”.
He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 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.
Abraham looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 E Abrahamo pose nome a quel luogo Iehovah-jireh. Per questo si dice oggi: “Al monte dell’Eterno sarà provveduto”.
So Abraham called that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
15 L’angelo dell’Eterno chiamò dal cielo Abrahamo una seconda volta, e disse:
The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
16 “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,
and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 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.
I will surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
18 E tutte le nazioni della terra saranno benedette nella tua progenie, perché tu hai ubbidito alla mia voce”.
Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
19 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.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
20 Dopo queste cose avvenne che fu riferito ad Abrahamo questo: “Ecco Milca ha partorito anch’ella de’ figliuoli a Nahor, tuo fratello:
It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
21 Uz, suo primogenito, Buz suo fratello, Kemuel padre d’Aram,
They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaf e Bethuel”.
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 E Bethuel generò Rebecca. Questi otto Milca partorì a Nahor, fratello d’Abrahamo.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 E la concubina di lui, che si chiamava Reumah, partorì anch’essa Thebah, Gaam, Tahash e Maaca.
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
