Ginsugo sang Dios si Abraham nga Ihalad si Isaac

22 Sang ulihi, gintilawan sang Dios si Abraham. Gintawag niya si Abraham, kag nagsabat si Abraham sa iya. Dayon nagsiling siya, “Dal-a ang imo bugtong[a] kag pinalangga nga anak nga si Isaac kag magkadto kamo sa duta sang Moria. Saka kamo sa bukid nga akon itudlo sa imo kag ihalad mo siya didto sa akon bilang halad nga ginasunog.”[b]

Gani aga pa gid sang madason nga adlaw, nagbial si Abraham sang mga kahoy nga inuggatong sa halad, kag ginkarga niya ini sa iya asno. Naglakat siya kaupod si Isaac kag ang duha niya ka suluguon nga lalaki pakadto sa lugar nga ginsiling sa iya sang Dios. Sang ikatlo nga adlaw sang ila pagpanglakaton, nakita ni Abraham sa unhan ang lugar nga ginsiling sa iya sang Dios. Gani nagsiling si Abraham sa duha niya ka suluguon, “Diri lang kamo anay kag bantayi ninyo ang asno, kay mataklad kami didto sa unhan kag magsimba sa Dios. Mabalik man kami dayon.” Ginpapas-an ni Abraham kay Isaac ang mga kahoy nga inuggatong sa halad, kag siya ang nagdala sang sundang kag pangsindi.

Samtang nagalakat sila, nagsiling si Isaac, “Tay!” Nagsabat si Abraham, “Ano, anak?” Nagpamangkot si Isaac, “May dala kita nga pangsindi kag inuggatong, pero diin ang karnero nga inughalad?” Nagsabat si Abraham, “Anak, ang Dios ang magahatag sa aton sang karnero nga inughalad.” Kag nagpadayon sila sa paglakat.

Sang pag-abot nila sa lugar nga ginsiling sang Dios, naghimo si Abraham sang halaran, kag ginplastar niya ang mga kahoy sa ibabaw sini. Dayon gin-gapos niya si Isaac kag gintungtong sa ibabaw sang halaran. 10 Pagkatapos nagkuha siya sang sundang. Kag sang patyon na niya kuntani si Isaac, 11 gintawag siya sang anghel sang Ginoo halin sa langit, “Abraham! Abraham!” Pagkatapos nga nagsabat si Abraham, 12 nagsiling ang anghel, “Indi pagpatya ang bata! Karon napamatud-an ko na gid nga may kahadlok ka sa Dios tungod kay wala mo pag-ilikaw sa akon ang imo bugtong[c] nga anak.” 13 Pagbalikid ni Abraham, may nakita siya nga isa ka lalaki nga karnero nga ang iya sungay nasangit sa mga kahoy-kahoy, kag indi na ini makahalin. Gani ginkuha ini ni Abraham kag ginhalad bilang halad nga ginasunog sa baylo sang iya anak. 14 Gintawag ni Abraham ato nga lugar “Nagatigana ang Ginoo.” Gani hasta subong may hulubaton nga nagasiling, “Sa Bukid sang Ginoo may ginatigana siya.”

15 Nagtawag liwat kay Abraham ang anghel sang Ginoo halin sa langit. 16-17 Siling niya, “Amo ini ang ginasiling sang Ginoo: Nagapanumpa ako sa akon mismo kaugalingon nga pakamaayuhon ko gid ikaw tungod kay wala mo pag-ilikaw ang imo bugtong nga anak sa akon. Padamuon ko gid ang imo mga kaliwat nga daw pareho kadamo sa mga bituon sa langit kag sa mga balas sa baybayon. Pagasakupon nila ang mga banwa sang ila mga kaaway. 18 Kag paagi sa imo mga kaliwat,[d] pakamaayuhon ko ang tanan nga nasyon sa kalibutan, tungod kay nagtuman ka sa akon.”

19 Pagkatapos sadto, nagbalik si Abraham kag si Isaac sa mga suluguon. Dayon nagkadto sila sa Beersheba kag didto na nag-estar.

Abraham Tested

22 Some time later God tested(A) Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”

“Here I am,”(B) he replied.

Then God said, “Take your son(C), your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah.(D) Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering(E) on a mountain I will show you.(F)

Early the next morning(G) Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.(H)

Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac,(I) and he himself carried the fire and the knife.(J) As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”

“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.

“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb(K) for the burnt offering?”

Abraham answered, “God himself will provide(L) the lamb(M) for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.

When they reached the place God had told him about,(N) Abraham built an altar(O) there and arranged the wood(P) on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar,(Q) on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife(R) to slay his son.(S) 11 But the angel of the Lord(T) called out to him from heaven,(U) “Abraham! Abraham!”(V)

“Here I am,”(W) he replied.

12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God,(X) because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.(Y)

13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram[a] caught by its horns.(Z) He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.(AA) 14 So Abraham called(AB) that place The Lord(AC) Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.(AD)

15 The angel of the Lord(AE) called to Abraham from heaven(AF) a second time 16 and said, “I swear by myself,(AG) declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,(AH) 17 I will surely bless you(AI) and make your descendants(AJ) as numerous as the stars in the sky(AK) and as the sand on the seashore.(AL) Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,(AM) 18 and through your offspring[b] all nations on earth will be blessed,[c](AN) because you have obeyed me.”(AO)

19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba.(AP) And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.

Nahor’s Sons

20 Some time later Abraham was told, “Milkah is also a mother; she has borne sons to your brother Nahor:(AQ) 21 Uz(AR) the firstborn, Buz(AS) his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram), 22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.(AT) 23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.(AU) Milkah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.(AV) 24 His concubine,(AW) whose name was Reumah, also had sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maakah.

22 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.

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.

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.

Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

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.

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.

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?

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

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 Jehovahjireh: 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 Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

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.
