    这些事以后,天主试探亚巴郎说:"亚巴郎!"他答说:"我在这里。"

    22ThenGodsaid:"TakeyoursonIsaac,youronlyone,whomyoulove,andgotothelandofMoriah.ThereyoushallofferhimupasaholocaustonaheightthatIwillpointouttoyou."

    天主说:"带你心爱的独生子依撒格往摩黎雅地方去,在我所要指给你的一座山上,将他献为全燔祭。"

    亚巴郎次日清早起来,备好驴,带了两个仆人和自己的儿子依撒格,劈好为全燔祭用的木柴,就起身往天主指给他的地方去了。

    就对仆人说:"你们同驴在这里等候,我和孩子要到那边去朝拜,以后就回到你们这里来。"

    亚巴郎将为全燔祭用的木柴,放在儿子依撒格的肩上,自己手中拿着刀和火,两人一同前行。

    路上依撒格对父亲亚巴郎说:"阿爸!"他答说:"我儿,我在这里。"依撒格说:"看,这里有火有柴,但是那里有作全燔祭的羔羊?"

    8"Son,"Abrahamanswered,"Godhimselfwillprovidethesheepfortheholocaust."Thenthetwocontinuedgoingforward.

    亚巴郎答说:"我儿!天主自会照料作全燔祭的羔羊。"于是二人再继续一同前行。

    当他们到了天主指给他的地方,亚巴郎便在那里筑了一座祭坛,摆好木柴,将儿子依撒格捆好,放在祭坛上的木柴上。

    亚巴郎正伸手举刀要宰献自己的儿子时,

    11ButtheLORD'Smessengercalledtohimfromheaven,"Abraham,Abraham!""Yes,Lord,"heanswered.

    上主的使者从天上对他喊说:"亚巴郎!亚巴郎!"他答说:"我在这里。"

    12"Donotlayyourhandontheboy,"saidthemessenger."Donotdotheleastthingtohim.IknownowhowdevotedyouaretoGod,sinceyoudidnotwithholdfrommeyourownbelovedson."

    使者说:"不可在这孩子身上下手,不要伤害他!我现在知道你实在敬畏天主,因为你为了我竟连你的独生子也不顾惜。"

    亚巴郎举目一望,见有一只公绵羊,两角缠在灌木中,遂前去取了那只公绵羊,代替自己的儿子,献为全燔祭。

    143AbrahamnamedthesiteYahweh-yireh;hencepeoplenowsay,"OnthemountaintheLORDwillsee."

    亚巴郎给那地方起名叫"上主自会照料。"直到今日人还说:"在山上,上主自会照料。"

    上主的使者由天上又呼唤亚巴郎说:"

    16andsaid:"Iswearbymyself,declarestheLORD,thatbecauseyouactedasyoudidinnotwithholdingfrommeyourbelovedson,

    我指自己起誓,--上主的断语,--因为你作了这事,没有顾惜你的独生子,

    地上万民要因你的后裔蒙受降福,因为你听从了我的话。"

    亚巴郎回到自己仆人那里,一同起身回了贝尔舍巴,遂住在贝尔舍巴。
