1 Ja pärast neid sündmusi kiusas Jumal Aabrahami ning ütles temale: „Aabraham!" Ja ta vastas: „Siin ma olen!"
2 Ja Tema ütles: „Võta nüüd Iisak, oma ainus poeg, keda sa armastad, ja mine Morija maale ning ohverda ta seal põletusohvriks ühel neist mägedest, mis Ma sulle nimetan!"
3 Ja Aabraham tõusis hommikul vara, saduldas oma eesli, võttis enesega ühes oma kaks noort meest ja oma poja Iisaki, lõhkus põletusohvri puud, seadis minekule ja läks paika, millest Jumal temale oli rääkinud.
4 Kolmandal päeval Aabraham tõstis oma silmad üles ja nägi seda paika kaugelt.
5 Ja Aabraham ütles oma noortele meestele: „Jääge teie eesliga siia. Mina ja poiss läheme sinna, kummardame ja tuleme siis tagasi teie juurde."
6 Ja Aabraham võttis põletusohvri puud, pani need oma pojale Iisakile õlale, võttis oma kätte tule ja noa ning mõlemad läksid üheskoos.
7 Ja Iisak rääkis oma isa Aabrahamiga ning ütles: „Isa!" Ja tema vastas: „Siin ma olen, mu poeg!" Siis ta ütles: „Näe, siin on tuli ja puud, aga kus on ohvritall?"
8 Ja Aabraham vastas: „Küllap Jumal vaatab Enesele ohvritalle, mu poeg!" Nõnda läksid mõlemad üheskoos.
9 Ja kui nad jõudsid paika, millest Jumal temale oli rääkinud, ehitas Aabraham sinna altari, ladus puud, sidus kinni oma poja Iisaki ja pani ta altarile puude peale.
10 Ja Aabraham sirutas käe ja võttis noa, et oma poega tappa.
11 Aga Issanda Ingel hüüdis teda taevast ja ütles: „Aabraham, Aabraham!" Ja tema vastas: „Siin ma olen!"
12 Siis Ta ütles: „Ära pane kätt poisi külge ja ära tee temale midagi, sest nüüd Ma tean, et sa kardad Jumalat ega keela Mulle oma ainust poega!"
13 Ja Aabraham tõstis oma silmad üles, vaatas, ja ennäe, üks jäär oli rägastikus sarvipidi kinni! Ja Aabraham läks ning võttis jäära ja ohverdas selle põletusohvriks oma poja asemel.
14 Ja Aabraham pani sellele paigale nimeks: „Issand näeb!" Seepärast öeldakse tänapäevalgi: „Mäel, kus Issand Ennast ilmutab!"
15 Ja Issanda Ingel hüüdis Aabrahami teist korda taevast
16 ning ütles temale: „Ma vannun Iseenese juures, ütleb Issand: sellepärast, et sa seda tegid ega keelanud Mulle oma ainust poega,
17 Ma õnnistan sind tõesti ja teen su soo väga paljuks nagu tähti taevas ja nagu liiva mere ääres, ja su sugu vallutab oma vaenlaste väravad!
18 Ja sinu soo nimel õnnistavad endid kõik maailma rahvad, sellepärast et sa võtsid kuulda Mu häält!"
19 Siis Aabraham läks tagasi oma noorte meeste juurde, ja nad tõusid ning läksid üheskoos Beer-Sebasse. Ja Aabraham jäi elama Beer-Sebasse.
20 Ja pärast neid sündmusi teatati Aabrahamile ja öeldi: „Vaata, Milka on ka su vennale Naahorile poegi ilmale toonud:
21 Uusi, tema esmasündinu Buusi, selle venna, Kemueli, Arami isa,
22 Kesedi, Haso, Pildase, Jidlafi ja Betueli."
23 Ja Betuelile sündis Rebeka. Need kaheksa tõi Milka ilmale Naahorile, Aabrahami vennale.
24 Ja tema liignaine, Reuma nimi, sünnitas ka — Teba, Gahami, Tahase ja Maaka.
1 Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
2 And he said to him, Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge.
3 And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.
4 And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.
5 Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.
6 And Abraham put the wood for the burned offering on his son's back, and he himself took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.
7 Then Isaac said to Abraham, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, We have wood and fire here, but where is the lamb for the burned offering?
8 And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.
9 And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.
10 And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.
11 But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.
13 And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.
14 And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.
15 And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,
16 Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,
17 That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;
18 And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.
19 Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.
20 After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;
21 Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,
22 And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
23 Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
