1 Pēc šiem notikumiem gadījās, ka Dievs pārbaudīja Ābrahāmu un viņam sacīja: „Ābrahām!“ Un tas atbildēja: „Te es esmu.“
2 Tad Viņš teica: „Ņem savu vienīgo dēlu, kuru tu mīli, īzāku, un ej uz Morija zemi un upurē to tur par dedzināmo upuri uz kāda no kalniem, kuru Es tev norādīšu.“
3 Un Ābrahāms posās rītā ceļam; apsegloja savu ēzeli, paņēma sev līdzi divus savus puišus, kā arī savu dēlu—īzāku; sacirta malku dedzināmam upurim un devās uz to vietu, kādu Dievs viņam bija norādījis.
4 Un trešajā dienā Ābrahāms pacēla savas acis un ieraudzīja to vietu iztālēm.
5 Un Ābrahāms sacīja saviem puišiem: „Palieciet jūs ar ēzeli šeitan. Bet es ar zēnu gribu iet turpu, un mēs gribam pielūgt, bet pēc tam atkal atgriezīsimies pie jums.“
6 Un Ābrahāms paņēma dedzināmo malku un to uzlika īzākam, savam dēlam, bet pats savā rokā ņēma uguni un nazi, un abi soļoja viens otram līdzās.
7 Tad īzāks sacīja Ābrahāmam, savam tēvam: „Mans tēvs!“ Tas teica: „Te es esmu, mans bērns.“ Tas teica: „Te ir uguns un malka, bet kur tad ir upurējamais jērs?“
8 Ābrahāms sacīja: „Gan Dievs pats izraudzīs sev jēru upurim, mans dēls.“ Un abi soļoja viens otram līdzās.
9 Un tie nonāca līdz vietai, kādu tam Dievs bija noteicis, un Ābrahāms uzcēla tur altāri, sakārtoja malku, sasēja savu dēlu īzāku un uzcēla to uz altāra virs malkas.
10 Un Ābrahams izstiepa savu roku un satvēra nazi, lai nokautu savu dēlu.
11 Bet Dieva eņģelis no debesīm sauca viņam: „Abrahām! Ābrahām!“
12 Bet tas teica: „Te es esmu.“ Un viņš sacīja: „Neizstiep savu roku pret savu dēlu un nedari tam it nekā, jo tagad Es zinu, ka tu bīsties Dievu un neesi taupījis savu vienīgo dēlu Manis labad.“
13 Un Ābrahāms pacēla savas acis un ieraudzīja tur aunu aiz sevis, kas ar saviem ragiem bija saķēries krūmājos, un Ābrahāms piegāja klāt, paņēma aunu un nolika to par dedzināmo upuri sava dēla vietā.
14 Un Ābrahāms nosauca šo vietu: „Jahve-jire.“ Tā vēl šodien mēdz teikt: Uz kalna: „Dievs izredz.“
15 Tad Dieva eņģelis sauca Ābrahāmu otrreiz no debesīm
16 Un sacīja: „Es esmu zvērējis, saka tas Kungs, ka tāpēc, ka tu šo esi darījis un neesi taupījis savu vienīgo dēlu,
17 Es tevi svētīdams svētīšu un vairodams vairošu tavus pēcnācējus kā debesu zvaigznes, kā smiltis, kas jūras krastmalā.
18 Un tavi pēcnācēji iekaros tavu ienaidnieku vārtus. Un tavos pēcnācējos tiks svētītas visas zemes tautas, tāpēc ka tu esi bijis paklausīgs manam vārdam.“
19 Un Ābrahāms atgriezās pie saviem puišiem, un tie cēlās un gāja kopā uz Bēršebu, un Ābrahāms dzīvoja Bēršebā.
20 Un pēc šiem notikumiem Ābrahāmam tika pateikts: „Redzi, ari Milka ir dzemdējusi bērnus Nahoram, tavam brālim:
21 Ucu, viņa pirmdzimto, un Buzu, tā brāli, un Kemuēlu, aramiešu ciltstēvu,
22 Ari Kesedu, Chazu, Pildašu, Jidlapu un Betuēlu.“
23 Un Betuēls dzemdināja Rebeku. Visus šos astoņus dzemdēja Milka Nahoram, Ābrahāma brālim.
24 Un arī viņa blakus sieva, vārdā Reuma, dzemdēja dēlus: Tebachu, Gahamu, Tahasu un Maāchu.
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am . 2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, 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.
3 ¶ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. 7 And 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? 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a 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. 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
15 ¶ And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 ¶ And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; 21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
