The Latin Vulgate VUL
New International Version NIV
1 quae postquam gesta sunt temptavit Deus Abraham et dixit ad eum Abraham ille respondit adsum
1
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
2 ait ei tolle filium tuum unigenitum quem diligis Isaac et vade in terram Visionis atque offer eum ibi holocaustum super unum montium quem monstravero tibi
2
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
3 igitur Abraham de nocte consurgens stravit asinum suum ducens secum duos iuvenes et Isaac filium suum cumque concidisset ligna in holocaustum abiit ad locum quem praeceperat ei Deus
3
Early the next morning 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.
4 die autem tertio elevatis oculis vidit locum procul
4
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 dixitque ad pueros suos expectate hic cum asino ego et puer illuc usque properantes postquam adoraverimus revertemur ad vos
5
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.”
6 tulit quoque ligna holocausti et inposuit super Isaac filium suum ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium cumque duo pergerent simul
6
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together,
7 dixit Isaac patri suo pater mi at ille respondit quid vis fili ecce inquit ignis et ligna ubi est victima holocausti
7
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 for the burnt offering?”
8 dixit Abraham Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti fili mi pergebant ergo pariter
8
Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
9 veneruntque ad locum quem ostenderat ei Deus in quo aedificavit altare et desuper ligna conposuit cumque conligasset Isaac filium suum posuit eum in altari super struem lignorum
9
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 extenditque manum et arripuit gladium ut immolaret filium
10
Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 et ecce angelus Domini de caelo clamavit dicens Abraham Abraham qui respondit adsum
11
But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 dixitque ei non extendas manum tuam super puerum neque facias illi quicquam nunc cognovi quod timeas Dominum et non peperceris filio tuo unigenito propter me
12
“Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
13 levavit Abraham oculos viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres herentem cornibus quem adsumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio
13
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 appellavitque nomen loci illius Dominus videt unde usque hodie dicitur in monte Dominus videbit
14
So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 vocavit autem angelus Domini Abraham secundo de caelo dicens
15
The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time
16 per memet ipsum iuravi dicit Dominus quia fecisti rem hanc et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito
16
and said, “I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 benedicam tibi et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas caeli et velut harenam quae est in litore maris possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum
17
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,
18 et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae quia oboedisti voci meae
18
and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
19 reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos abieruntque Bersabee simul et habitavit ibi
19
Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
20 his itaque gestis nuntiatum est Abraham quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nahor fratri suo
20
Some time later Abraham was told, “Milkah is also a mother; she has borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Hus primogenitum et Buz fratrem eius Camuhel patrem Syrorum
21
Uz the firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 et Chased et Azau Pheldas quoque et Iedlaph
22
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.”
23 ac Bathuel de quo nata est Rebecca octo istos genuit Melcha Nahor fratri Abraham
23
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milkah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 concubina vero illius nomine Roma peperit Tabee et Gaom et Thaas et Maacha
24
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also had sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maakah.
