¹وحدث بعد هذه الامور ان الله امتحن ابراهيم. فقال له يا ابراهيم. فقال هانذا.

¹And it came to pass after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! and he said, Here am I.

²فقال خذ ابنك وحيدك الذي تحبه اسحق واذهب الى ارض المريّا واصعده هناك محرقة على احد الجبال الذي اقول لك.

²And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son], whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

³فبكّر ابراهيم صباحا وشدّ على حماره واخذ اثنين من غلمانه معه واسحق ابنه وشقّق حطبا لمحرقة وقام وذهب الى الموضع الذي قال له الله.

³And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of.

⁴وفي اليوم الثالث رفع ابراهيم عينيه وابصر الموضع من بعيد.

⁴On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.

⁵فقال ابراهيم لغلاميه اجلسا انتما ههنا مع الحمار. واما انا والغلام فنذهب الى هناك ونسجد ثم نرجع اليكما.

⁵And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

⁶فاخذ ابراهيم حطب المحرقة ووضعه على اسحق ابنه واخذ بيده النار والسكين. فذهبا كلاهما معا.

⁶And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and the knife, and they went both of them together.

⁷وكلم اسحق ابراهيم اباه وقال يا ابي. فقال هانذا يا ابني. فقال هوذا النار والحطب ولكن اين الخروف للمحرقة.

⁷And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the sheep for a burnt-offering?

⁸فقال ابراهيم الله يرى له الخروف للمحرقة يا ابني. فذهبا كلاهما معا

⁸And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself with the sheep for a burnt-offering. And they went both of them together.

⁹فلما أتيا الى الموضع الذي قال له الله بنى هناك ابراهيم المذبح ورتب الحطب وربط اسحق ابنه ووضعه على المذبح فوق الحطب.

⁹And they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built the altar there, and piled the wood; and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

¹⁰ثم مدّ ابراهيم يده واخذ السكين ليذبح ابنه.

¹⁰And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son.

¹¹فناداه ملاك الرب من السماء وقال ابراهيم ابراهيم. فقال هانذا.

¹¹And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.

¹²فقال لا تمد يدك الى الغلام ولا تفعل به شيئا. لاني الآن علمت انك خائف الله فلم تمسك ابنك وحيدك عني.

¹²And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son], from me.

¹³فرفع ابراهيم عينيه ونظر واذا كبش وراءه ممسكا في الغابة بقرنيه. فذهب ابراهيم واخذ الكبش واصعده محرقة عوضا عن ابنه.

¹³And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son.

¹⁴فدعا ابراهيم اسم ذلك الموضع يهوه يرأه. حتى انه يقال اليوم في جبل الرب يرى

¹⁴And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided.

¹⁵ونادى ملاك الرب ابراهيم ثانية من السماء

¹⁵And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time,

¹⁶وقال بذاتي اقسمت يقول الرب. اني من اجل انك فعلت هذا الامر ولم تمسك ابنك وحيدك

¹⁶and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son],

¹⁷اباركك مباركة واكثر نسلك تكثيرا كنجوم السماء وكالرمل الذي على شاطئ البحر. ويرث نسلك باب اعدائه.

¹⁷I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

¹⁸ويتبارك في نسلك جميع امم الارض. من اجل انك سمعت لقولي.

¹⁸and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.

¹⁹ثم رجع ابراهيم الى غلاميه. فقاموا وذهبوا معا الى بئر سبع. وسكن ابراهيم في بئر سبع

¹⁹And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

²⁰وحدث بعد هذه الامور ان ابراهيم أخبر وقيل له هوذا ملكة قد ولدت ايضا بنين لناحور اخيك.

²⁰And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:

²¹عوصا بكره وبوزا اخاه وقموئيل ابا ارام

²¹Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,

²²وكاسد وحزوا وفلداش ويدلاف وبتوئيل.

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

²³وولد بتوئيل رفقة. هؤلاء الثمانية ولدتهم ملكة لناحور اخي ابراهيم.

²³(And Bethuel begot Rebecca.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

²⁴واما سرّيته واسمها رؤومة فولدت هي ايضا طابح وجاحم وتاحش ومعكة

²⁴And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.
