Genesis 22

1 Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.

1 这些事以后，上帝要考验亚伯拉罕，就呼唤他：“亚伯拉罕！”他回答说：“我在这里。”

2 “Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”

2 上帝说：“带着你的儿子，你的独生子，你疼爱的以撒前往摩利亚，在我指示你的山上把他献为燔祭。”

3 So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.

3 亚伯拉罕清早起来，准备好驴，劈好献燔祭用的柴，带着两个仆人和儿子以撒动身前往上帝指示他的地方。

4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

4 到了第三天，亚伯拉罕抬头远远看见那地方，

5 “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”

5 就对仆人说：“你们和驴在这里等着，我和孩子到那边敬拜上帝，然后便回来。”

6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.

6 亚伯拉罕把献燔祭用的柴放在儿子以撒肩上，自己手里拿着火种和刀。父子二人一同向前走。

7 Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

7 以撒说：“父亲。”亚伯拉罕说：“儿子，什么事？”以撒说：“你看，火种和柴都有了，但献燔祭用的羊羔在哪里呢？”

8 Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.

8 亚伯拉罕说：“儿子，上帝会亲自预备献燔祭的羊羔。”二人就一同向前走。

9 When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.

9 他们到了上帝指示的地方，亚伯拉罕就筑起祭坛，把柴摆在上面，然后把以撒捆起来放在祭坛上面的柴上。

10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

10 亚伯拉罕伸手拿起刀来，要杀他的儿子。

11 Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.

11 耶和华的天使从天上呼唤他说：“亚伯拉罕！亚伯拉罕！”他回答说：“我在这里。”

12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”

12 天使说：“不可动孩子，不可伤害他！现在我知道你敬畏上帝，因为你不惜把你的儿子，你的独生子献给我。”

13 Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

13 这时亚伯拉罕抬头一看，见有一只公绵羊两角卡在稠密的树丛中，于是把羊取来代替他的儿子献为燔祭。

14 And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”

14 亚伯拉罕称那地方为“耶和华以勒” 。直到今天人们还说：“在耶和华的山上必有预备。”

15 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,

15 耶和华的天使再次从天上呼唤亚伯拉罕，

16 saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,

16 对他说：“耶和华说，‘你既然不惜献上你的儿子，你的独生子，我凭自己起誓，

17 I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.

17 我必赐福给你，使你的后裔多如天上的星和海边的沙。你的后裔必夺取仇敌的城池，

18 And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

18 天下万国必因你的后裔而蒙福，因为你听从了我的话。’”

19 Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.

19 于是，亚伯拉罕回到仆人那里，他们一同返回亚伯拉罕居住的别示巴。

20 Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:

20 过了些日子，有人告诉亚伯拉罕：“密迦为你兄弟拿鹤生了几个儿子，

21 Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),

21 长子乌斯、乌斯的弟弟布斯、亚兰的父亲基姆利、

22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”

22 基薛、哈琐、必达、益拉和彼土利。”

23 And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

23 彼土利是利百加的父亲。密迦为亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生了这八个儿子。

24 Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

24 拿鹤的妾流玛生了提八、迦含、他辖和玛迦。
