1After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.Dopo avvenute queste cose, Dio tentò Abramo, e gli disse: Abramo, Abramo. Ed egli rispose: Eccomi.VVHICH things being done, God tempted Abraham, and said to him; Abraham, Abraham. But he answered: Here I am.Quæ postquam gesta sunt, tentavit Deus Abraham, et dixit ad eum: Abraham, Abraham. At ille respondit: Adsum. 2He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision; and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will shew thee.E quegli disse: Prendi il tuo figliuolo unigenito, il diletto Isacco, e va' nella terra di visione: e ivi lo offerirai in olocausto sopra uno de' monti, il quale io t'indicherò.He said to him: Take thy only begotten sonne, whom thou louest, Isaac, and goe into the Land of vision: and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust vpon one of the mountaines which I wil shew thee.Ait illi: Tolle filium tuum unigenitum, quem diligis, Isaac, et vade in terram visionis, atque ibi offeres eum in holocaustum super unum montium quem monstravero tibi. 3So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass, and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he went his way to the place which God had commanded him.Abramo adunque alzatosi, che era ancor notte, imbastò il suo asino, e prese seco due giovani, e Isacco suo figliuolo: e avendo tagliate le legna per l'olocausto, s'incamminò verso il luogo assegnatogli da Dio.Therfore Abraham rising vp in the night, sadled his asse: taking with him two young men, and Isaac his sonne: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he went his way to the place which God had commanded him.Igitur Abraham de nocte consurgens, stravit asinum suum, ducens secum duos juvenes, et Isaac filium suum: cumque concidisset ligna in holocaustum, abiit ad locum quem præceperat ei Deus. 4And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off.E il terzo giorno, alzati gli occhi, vide da lungi il luogo:And the third day, lifting vp his eyes, he sawe the place afarre of:Die autem tertio, elevatis oculis, vidit locum procul: 5And he said to his young men: Stay you here with the ass; I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder, and after we have worshipped, will return to you.E disse a' suoi giovani: Aspettate qui coll'asino: io, e il fanciullo anderemo fin colà con prestezza, e fatta che avremo l'adorazione, torneremo da voi.and he said to his young men: Tarie you here with the asse: I and the boy going with spede as farre as yonder, after we haue adored, wil returne to you.dixitque ad pueros suos: Expectate hic cum asino: ego et puer illuc usque properantes, postquam adoraverimus, revertemur ad vos.

6And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together,Prese eziandio le legna per l'olocausto, e le pose addosso ad Isacco suo figliuolo: egli poi portava colle sue mani il fuoco, e il coltello. E mentre camminavano tutti e due insieme,He tooke also the wood of the holocaust, and laid it vpon Isaac his sonne: and him selfe caried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they went on together,Tulit quoque ligna holocausti, et imposuit super Isaac filium suum: ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium. Cumque duo pergerent simul, 7Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust?Disse Isacco a suo padre: Padre mio. E quegli rispose: Che vuoi, figliuolo? Ecco; disse quegli, il fuoco, e le legna: dov'è la vittima dell'olocausto?Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou sonne? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victime of the holocaust?dixit Isaac patri suo: Pater mi. At ille respondit: Quid vis, fili ? Ecce, inquit, ignis et ligna: ubi est victima holocausti ? 8And Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together.E Abramo disse: Iddio si provvederà la vittima per l'olocausto, figliuol mio. Andavano adunque innanzi di conserva:And Abraham said: God wil prouide vnto him selfe the victime of the holocaust, my sonne. They went on therfore together:Dixit autem Abraham: Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti, fili mi. Pergebant ergo pariter. 9And they came to the place which God had shewn him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it; and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.E giunsero al luogo mostrato a lui da Dio, in cui egli edificò un altare, e sopra vi accomodò le legna: e avendo legato Isacco suo figlio, lo collocò sull'altare sopra il mucchio delle legna.and they came to the place which God had shewed him, wherin he builed an altar, and laid the wood in order vpon it: and when he had bound Isaac his sonne, he laid him on the altar vpon the pile of wood.Et venerunt ad locum quem ostenderat ei Deus, in quo ædificavit altare, et desuper ligna composuit; cumque alligasset Isaac filium suum, posuit eum in altare super struem lignorum. 10And he put forth his hand, and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.E stese la mano, e diè di piglio al coltello per immolare il suo figliuolo.And he stretched forth his hand, and caught the sword, for to sacrifice his sonne.Extenditque manum, et arripuit gladium, ut immolaret filium suum.

11And behold, an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.Quand'ecco l'Angelo del Signore dal ciel gridò, dicendo: Abramo, Abramo. E quegli rispose: Eccomi.And behold an angel of our Lord from heauen cried, saying: Abraham, Abraham. Who answered: Here I am.Et ecce angelus Domini de cælo clamavit, dicens: Abraham, Abraham. Qui respondit: Adsum. 12And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.E quegli a lui disse: Non stendere la tua mano sopra il fanciullo, e non fare a lui male alcuno: adesso ho conosciuto, che tu temi Dio, e non hai perdonato al figliuol tuo unigenito per me.And he said to him: Stretch not forth thy hand vpon the boy, neither doe thou any thing to him: now haue I knowen that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thine onlie begotten sonne for my sake.Dixitque ei: Non extendas manum tuam super puerum, neque facias illi quidquam: nunc cognovi quod times Deum, et non pepercisti unigenito filio tuo propter me. 13Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram, amongst the briers, sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son.Alzò gli occhi Abramo, e vide dietro a sé un ariete preso per le corna tra' pruni, e se lo tolse, e in olocausto lo offerse in vece del figlio.Abraham lifted vp his eyes, and saw behind his backe a ramme amongst the briers sticking fast by the hornes, which he tooke and offered an holocaust in stede of his sonne.Levavit Abraham oculos suos, viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres hærentem cornibus, quem assumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio. 14And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon, even to this day, it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see.E pose nome a quel luogo, il Signore vede. D'onde fino a quest'oggi si dice: Sul monte il Signore provvederà.And he called the name of that place, Our Lord seeth. Wherupon euen to this day it is said, In the mountaine our Lord wil see.Appellavitque nomen loci illius, Dominus videt. Unde usque hodie dicitur: In monte Dominus videbit. 15And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:E l'Angelo del Signore per la seconda volta chiamò Abramo dal cielo, dicendo:And the angel of our Lord called Abraham the second time from heauen, saying:Vocavit autem angelus Domini Abraham secundo de cælo, dicens:

16By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake:Per me medesimo io ho giurato, dice il Signore: perché hai fatta una tal cosa, e non hai perdonato al figlio tuo unigenito per me:By my owne selfe haue I sworne, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onlie begotten sonne for my sake:Per memetipsum juravi, dicit Dominus: quia fecisti hanc rem, et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito propter me: 17I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore; thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.Io ti benedirò, e moltiplicherò la tua stirpe, come le stelle del cielo, e come l'arena, che è sul lido del mare: il tuo seme s'impadronirà delle porte de' suoi nemici:I wil blesse thee, and I wil multiplie thy sede as the starres of heauen, and as the sand that is by the sea shore: thy sede shal possesse the gates of his enemies,benedicam tibi, et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas cæli, et velut arenam quæ est in littore maris: possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum, 18And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.E nel seme tuo saran BENEDETTE tutte le nazioni della terra, perché hai obbedito alla mia voce.and in thy sede SHAL BE BLESSED al the nations of the earth, because thou hast obeyed my voice.et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terræ, quia obedisti voci meæ. 19Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.Tornò Abramo da' suoi servi, e se ne andarono insieme a Bersabee, e ivi egli abitò.Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.Reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos, abieruntque Bersabee simul, et habitavit ibi. 20After these things, it was told Abraham, that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.Dopo che queste cose furono avvenute così, fu recata ad Abramo la novella, che Melcha avea ancor ella partoriti de' figliuoli a Nachor fratello di lui,These things so being done, it was told Abraham that Melca also had borne children to Nachor his brother,His ita gestis, nuntiatum est Abrahæ quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nachor fratri suo: 21Hus, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,Hus primogenito, e Buz suo fratello, e Camuel padre de' Siri.Hus the first be gotten, & Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Sirians,Hus primogenitum, et Buz fratrem ejus, et Camuel patrem Syrorum, 22And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,E Cased, e Azau, e anche Pheldas, e Jedlaph,and Cased, and Azau.
