¹Beberapa waktu kemudian Allah menguji kesetiaan Abraham. Allah memanggil, "Abraham!" Lalu Abraham menjawab, "Ya, Tuhan."

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

²Kata Allah, "Pergilah ke tanah Moria dengan Ishak, anakmu yang tunggal, yang sangat kaukasihi. Di situ, di sebuah gunung yang akan Kutunjukkan kepadamu, persembahkanlah anakmu sebagai kurban bakaran kepada-Ku."

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

³Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi, Abraham membelah-belah kayu untuk kurban bakaran dan mengikat kayu itu di atas keledainya. Ia berangkat dengan Ishak dan dua orang hambanya ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya.

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 unto the place of which God had told him.

⁴Pada hari yang ketiga tampaklah oleh Abraham tempat itu di kejauhan.

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

⁵Lalu ia berkata kepada kedua hambanya itu, "Tinggallah kamu di sini dengan keledai ini. Saya dan anak saya akan pergi ke sana untuk menyembah TUHAN, nanti kami kembali kepadamu."

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

⁶Abraham meletakkan kayu untuk kurban bakaran itu pada pundak Ishak, sedang ia sendiri membawa pisau dan bara api untuk membakar kayu. Ketika mereka berjalan bersama-sama,

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

⁷Ishak berkata, "Ayah!" Abraham menjawab, "Ada apa, anakku?" Ishak bertanya, "Kita sudah membawa api dan kayu, tetapi di manakah anak domba untuk kurban bakaran itu?"

⁷And Isaac spake unto 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 lamb for a burnt-offering?

⁸Abraham menjawab, "Allah sendiri akan menyediakan anak domba itu." Lalu keduanya berjalan terus.

⁸And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son. So they went both of them together.

⁹Ketika mereka sampai di tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepada Abraham, ia mendirikan sebuah mezbah dan menyusun kayu bakar itu di atasnya. Lalu diikatnya anaknya dan dibaringkannya di mezbah, di atas kayu bakar itu.

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

¹⁰Setelah itu, diambilnya pisaunya hendak membunuh anaknya.

¹⁰And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

¹¹Tetapi malaikat TUHAN berseru kepadanya dari langit, "Abraham, Abraham!" Jawab Abraham, "Ya, Tuhan!"

¹¹And the angel of Jehovah called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.

¹²"Jangan kausakiti anak itu atau kauapa-apakan dia," kata TUHAN melalui malaikat itu. "Sekarang Aku tahu bahwa engkau hormat dan taat kepada-Ku, karena engkau tidak menolak untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal itu kepada-Ku."

¹²And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him. For now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.

¹³Lalu Abraham memandang ke sekitarnya dan melihat seekor domba jantan yang tanduknya tersangkut dalam semak-semak. Abraham mengambil domba itu lalu mempersembahkannya kepada TUHAN sebagai kurban bakaran pengganti anaknya.

¹³And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind [him] a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.

¹⁴Abraham menamakan tempat itu "TUHAN menyediakan yang diperlukan". Dan sampai sekarang pun orang mengatakan "Di atas gunung-Nya TUHAN menyediakan yang diperlukan".

¹⁴And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of Jehovah it shall be provided.

¹⁵Sekali lagi dari langit malaikat TUHAN berseru kepada Abraham,

¹⁵And the angel of Jehovah called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven,

¹⁶"TUHAN berkata: Aku bersumpah demi nama-Ku sendiri, karena engkau telah melakukan hal ini dan tidak menolak untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal itu kepada-Ku,

¹⁶and said, By myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son,

¹⁷Aku akan memberkati engkau dengan berlimpah-limpah dan membuat keturunanmu sebanyak bintang di langit dan sebanyak pasir di tepi laut. Anak cucumu akan mengalahkan musuh-musuh mereka.

¹⁷that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore. And thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.

¹⁸Semua bangsa di bumi akan memohon kepada-Ku supaya Aku memberkati mereka sebagaimana telah Kuberkati keturunanmu--karena engkau telah mentaati perintah-Ku."

¹⁸And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. Because thou hast obeyed my voice.

¹⁹Setelah itu kembalilah Abraham kepada kedua hambanya, lalu mereka bersama-sama pergi ke Bersyeba, dan Abraham menetap di sana.

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

²⁰Abraham mempunyai abang yang bernama Nahor. Sesudah kejadian di Gunung Moria itu, Abraham mendengar bahwa Milka, istri Nahor telah mempunyai delapan anak laki-laki, yaitu:

²⁰And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also hath borne children unto they brother Nahor.

²¹Us, yang sulung; Bus, adiknya; Kemuel, yang kemudian menjadi ayah Aram;

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

²²Kesed, Hazo, Pildas, Yidlaf, dan Betuel,

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

²³yang kemudian menjadi ayah Ribka. Itulah kedelapan anak yang dilahirkan Milka bagi Nahor, saudara Abraham.

²³And Bethuel begat Rebekah. These eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

²⁴Nahor mempunyai selir yang bernama Reuma dan selir itu melahirkan Tebah, Gaham, Tahas dan Maakha.

²⁴And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bare Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
