1After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα ὁ Θεός ἐπείρασε τὸν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἁβραάμ, Ἁβραάμ. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.
2He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
2καὶ εἶπε· λαβὲ τὸν υἱόν σου τὸν ἀγαπητόν, ὃν ἠγάπησας, τὸν Ἰσαάκ, καὶ πορεύθητι εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ὑψηλὴν καὶ ἀνένεγκον αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν ἐφ᾿ ἓν τῶν ὀρέων, ὧν ἄν σοι εἴπω.
3Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
3ἀναστὰς δὲ Ἁβραὰμ τὸ πρωΐ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ· παρέλαβε δὲ μεθ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ δύο παῖδας καὶ Ἰσαὰκ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ σχίσας ξύλα εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν, ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός, τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ.
4On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
4καὶ ἀναβλέψας Ἁβραὰμ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ, εἶδε τὸν τόπον μακρόθεν.
5Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
5καὶ εἶπεν Ἁβραὰμ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ· καθίσατε αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῆς ὄνου, ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ τὸ παιδάριον διελευσόμεθα ἕως ὧδε καὶ προσκυνήσαντες ἀναστρέψομεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
6Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
6ἔλαβε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ τὰ ξύλα τῆς ὁλοκαρπώσεως καὶ ἐπέθηκεν Ἰσαὰκ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ· ἔλαβε δὲ μετὰ χεῖρας καὶ τὸ πῦρ καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ δύο ἅμα.
7Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
7εἶπε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· πάτερ. ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τί ἐστι, τέκνον; εἶπε δέ· ἰδοὺ τὸ πῦρ καὶ τὰ ξύλα· ποῦ ἐστι τὸ πρόβατον τὸ εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν;
8Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
8εἶπε δὲ Ἁβραάμ· ὁ Θεὸς ὄψεται ἑαυτῷ πρόβατον εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν, τέκνον. πορευθέντες δὲ ἀμφότεροι ἅμα,
9They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
9ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός. καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Ἁβραὰμ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὰ ξύλα, καὶ συμποδίσας Ἰσαὰκ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐπέθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπάνω τῶν ξύλων.
10Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
10καὶ ἐξέτεινεν Ἁβραὰμ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ λαβεῖν τὴν μάχαιραν σφάξαι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ.
11The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
11καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· Ἁβραάμ, Ἁβραάμ. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.
12He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
12καὶ εἶπε· μὴ ἐπιβάλῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον μηδὲ ποιήσῃς αὐτῷ μηδέν· νῦν γὰρ ἔγνων, ὅτι φοβῇ σὺ τὸν Θεὸν καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσω τοῦ υἱοῦ σου τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ δι᾿ ἐμέ.
13Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
13καὶ ἀναβλέψας Ἁβραὰμ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶδε, καὶ ἰδοὺ κριὸς εἷς κατεχόμενος ἐν φυτῷ Σαβὲκ τῶν κεράτων· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἁβραὰμ καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν κριὸν καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν ἀντὶ Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.
14Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
14καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἁβραὰμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, Κύριος εἶδεν, ἵνα εἴπωσι σήμερον, ἐν τῷ ὄρει Κύριος ὤφθη.
15The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
15καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἄγγελος Κυρίου τὸν Ἁβραὰμ δεύτερον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, λέγων·
16and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
16κατ᾿ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, οὗ εἵνεκεν ἐποίησας τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσω τοῦ υἱοῦ σου τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ δι᾿ ἐμέ,
17that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
17ἦ μὴν εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω σε, καὶ πληθύνων πληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα σου, ὡς τοὺς ἀστέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τὴν παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ κληρονομήσει τὸ σπέρμα σου τὰς πόλεις τῶν ὑπεναντίων·
18All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
18καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς, ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὑπήκουσας τῆς ἐμῆς φωνῆς.
19So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
19ἀπεστράφη δὲ Ἁβραὰμ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀναστάντες ἐπορεύθησαν ἅμα ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου. καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἁβραὰμ ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου.
20After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
20Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ Ἁβραὰμ λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ τέτοκε Μελχὰ καὶ αὐτὴ υἱοὺς τῷ Ναχὼρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου,
21Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
21τὸν Οὒζ πρωτότοκον καὶ τὸν Βαὺξ ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν Καμουὴλ πατέρα Σύρων
22Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
22καὶ τὸν Χαζὰδ καὶ Ἀζαῦ καὶ τὸν Φαλδὲς καὶ τὸν Ἰελδὰφ καὶ τὸν Βαθουήλ·
23Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
23Βαθουὴλ δὲ ἐγέννησε τὴν Ρεβέκκαν. ὀκτὼ οὗτοι υἱοί, οὓς ἔτεκε Μελχὰ τῷ Ναχὼρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ Ἁβραάμ.
24His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
24καὶ ἡ παλλακὴ αὐτοῦ, ᾗ ὄνομα Ρεημά, ἔτεκε καὶ αὐτὴ τὸν Ταβὲκ καὶ τὸν Ταὰμ καὶ τὸν Τοχὸς καὶ τὸν Μοχά.
