¹　神试验亚伯拉罕

¹And it cometh to pass after these things that God hath tried Abraham, and saith unto him, `Abraham;` and he saith, `Here [am] I.`

²　神说：“带着你的儿子，就是你所爱的独生子以撒，到摩利亚地去，在我所要指示你的一座山上，把他献为燔祭。”

²And He saith, `Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou hast loved, even Isaac, and go for thyself unto the land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I speak unto thee.`

³亚伯拉罕清早起来，预备好了驴，带着两个童仆和自己的儿子以撒，也劈好了献燔祭用的柴，就起程到　神指示他的地方去。

³And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and taketh two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and he cleaveth the wood of the burnt-offering, and riseth and goeth unto the place of which God hath spoken to him.

⁴第三日，亚伯拉罕举目观望，远远地看见了那地方。

⁴On the third day — Abraham lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the place from afar;

⁵亚伯拉罕对他的童仆说：“你们和驴留在这里，我与孩子要到那边去敬拜，然后回到你们这里来。”

⁵and Abraham saith unto his young men, `Remain by yourselves here with the ass, and I and the youth go yonder and worship, and turn back unto you.`

⁶亚伯拉罕把献燔祭的柴，放在他儿子以撒的身上，自己手里拿着火与刀。他们二人一起向前走的时候，

⁶And Abraham taketh the wood of the burnt-offering, and placeth on Isaac his son, and he taketh in his hand the fire, and the knife; and they go on both of them together.

⁷以撒问他父亲亚伯拉罕说：“爸爸！”亚伯拉罕回答：“我儿！有什么事？”以撒说：“你看，火与柴都有了，可是献燔祭用的羊羔在哪里呢？”

⁷And Isaac speaketh unto Abraham his father, and saith, `My father,` and he saith, `Here [am] I, my son.` And he saith, `Lo, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb for a burnt-offering?`

⁸亚伯拉罕回答：“我儿，　神自己必亲自预备献燔祭用的羊羔。”于是二人继续一起前行。

⁸and Abraham saith, `God doth provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son;` and they go on both of them together.

⁹他们到了　神指示的地方，亚伯拉罕就在那里筑了一座祭坛，摆好了柴，捆绑了自己的儿子以撒，就把他放在祭坛的柴上。

⁹And they come in unto the place of which God hath spoken to him, and there Abraham buildeth the altar, and arrangeth the wood, and bindeth Isaac his son, and placeth him upon the altar above the wood;

¹⁰亚伯拉罕伸手拿刀，要宰杀自己的儿子的时候，

¹⁰and Abraham putteth forth his hand, and taketh the knife — to slaughter his son.

¹¹耶和华的使者从天上呼叫亚伯拉罕，说：“亚伯拉罕，亚伯拉罕！”亚伯拉罕回答：“我在这里。”

¹¹And the messenger of Jehovah calleth unto him from the heavens, and saith, `Abraham, Abraham;` and he saith, `Here [am] I;`

¹²天使说：“不可在这孩子身上下手，一点也不可害他；现在我知道你是敬畏　神的了，因为你没有留下你的独生子不给我。”

¹²and He saith, `Put not forth thine hand unto the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that thou art fearing God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from Me.`

¹³亚伯拉罕举目观望，看见一只公绵羊，两角扣在稠密的小树丛中；亚伯拉罕就去取了那只公绵羊，把它献为燔祭，代替自己的儿子。

¹³And Abraham lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, a ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns; and Abraham goeth, and taketh the ram, and causeth it to ascend for a burnt-offering instead of his son;

¹⁴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。”

¹⁴and Abraham calleth the name of that place `Jehovah-Jireh,` because it is said this day in the mount, `Jehovah doth provide.`

¹⁵耶和华的使者第二次从天上呼叫亚伯拉罕，

¹⁵And the messenger of Jehovah calleth unto Abraham a second time from the heavens,

¹⁶说：“耶和华说：‘我指着自己起誓，你既然作了这事，没有留下你的独生子，

¹⁶and saith, `By Myself I have sworn — the affirmation of Jehovah — that because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one —

¹⁷我必定赐福给你，必使你的后裔繁多，像天上的星，海边的沙；你的后裔必占领仇敌的城门。

¹⁷that blessing I bless thee, and multiplying I multiply thy seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which [is] on the sea-shore; and thy seed doth possess the gate of his enemies;

¹⁸地上万国都要因你的后裔得福，因为你听从了我的话。’”

¹⁸and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth, because that thou hast hearkened to My voice.`

¹⁹亚伯拉罕回到他的童仆那里；他们就起程，一起到别是巴去了；亚伯拉罕就住在别是巴。

¹⁹And Abraham turneth back unto his young men, and they rise and go together unto Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwelleth in Beer-Sheba.

²⁰拿鹤的子孙这些事以后，有人告诉亚伯拉罕说：“密迦也给你的兄弟拿鹤生了几个儿子；

²⁰And it cometh to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, `Lo, Milcah hath borne, even she, sons to Nahor thy brother:

²¹长子是乌斯，他的弟弟是布斯，和亚兰的父亲基母利；

²¹Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother; and Kemuel father of Aram,

²²还有基薛、哈琐、必达、益拉和彼土利。

²²and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;

²³（彼土利生了利百加。）”这八个人，都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的儿子。

²³and Bethuel hath begotten Rebekah;` these eight hath Milcah borne to Nahor, Abraham`s brother;

²⁴拿鹤的妾名叫流玛。她也生了提八、迦含、他辖和玛迦。

²⁴and his concubine, whose name [is] Reumah, she also hath borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
