WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Lo! I [am here].
1 Y ACONTECIÓ después de estas cosas, que tentó Dios á Abraham, y le dijo: Abraham. Y él respondió: Heme aquí.
1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
2 And he said, Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
2 Y dijo: Toma ahora tu hijo, tu único, Isaac, á quien amas, y vete á tierra de Moriah, y ofrécelo allí en holocausto sobre uno de los montes que yo te diré.
2 He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
3 And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole-burnt-offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
3 Y Abraham se levantó muy de mañana, y enalbardó su asno, y tomó consigo dos mozos suyos, y á Isaac su hijo: y cortó leña para el holocausto, y levantóse, y fué al lugar que Dios le dijo.
3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4 on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
4 Al tercer día alzó Abraham sus ojos, y vió el lugar de lejos.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
5 And Abraam said to his servants, Sit ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.
5 Entonces dijo Abraham á sus mozos: Esperaos aquí con el asno, y yo y el muchacho iremos hasta allí, y adoraremos, y volveremos á vosotros.
5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
6 And Abraam took the wood of the whole-burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.
6 Y tomó Abraham la leña del holocausto, y púsola sobre Isaac su hijo: y él tomó en su mano el fuego y el cuchillo; y fueron ambos juntos.
6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
7 And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole-burnt-offering?
7 Entonces habló Isaac á Abraham su padre, y dijo: Padre mío. Y él respondió: Heme aquí, mi hijo. Y él dijo: He aquí el fuego y la leña; mas ¿dónde está el cordero para el holocausto?
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
8 And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole-burnt-offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
8 Y respondió Abraham: Dios se proveerá de cordero para el holocausto, hijo mío. E iban juntos.
8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
9 came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
9 Y como llegaron al lugar que Dios le había dicho, edificó allí Abraham un altar, y compuso la leña, y ató á Isaac su hijo, y púsole en el altar sobre la leña.
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10 And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to slay his son.
10 Y extendió Abraham su mano, y tomó el cuchillo, para degollar á su hijo.
10 Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
11 Entonces el ángel de Jehová le dió voces del cielo, y dijo: Abraham, Abraham. Y él respondió: Heme aquí.
11 Yahweh’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that thou fearest God, and for my sake thou hast not spared thy beloved son.
12 Y dijo: No extiendas tu mano sobre el muchacho, ni le hagas nada; que ya conozco que temes á Dios, pues que no me rehusaste tu hijo, tu único.
12 He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 And Abraam lifted up his eyes and beheld, and lo! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole-burnt-offering in the place of Isaac his son.
13 Entonces alzó Abraham sus ojos, y miró, y he aquí un carnero á sus espaldas trabado en un zarzal por sus cuernos: y fué Abraham, y tomó el carnero, y ofrecióle en holocausto en lugar de su hijo.
13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord hath seen; that they might say to-day, In the mount the Lord was seen.
14 Y llamó Abraham el nombre de aquel lugar, Jehová proveerá. Por tanto se dice hoy: En el monte de Jehová será provisto.
14 Abraham called the name of that place “Yahweh Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On Yahweh’s mountain, it will be provided.”
15 And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven,
15 Y llamó el ángel de Jehová á Abraham segunda vez desde el cielo,
15 Yahweh’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
16 saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because thou hast done this thing, and on my account hast not spared thy beloved son,
16 Y dijo: Por mí mismo he jurado, dice Jehová, que por cuanto has hecho esto, y no [me] has rehusado tu hijo, tu único;
16 and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says Yahweh, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and thy seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
17 Bendiciendo te bendeciré, y multiplicando multiplicaré tu simiente como las estrellas del cielo, y como la arena que está á la orilla del mar; y tu simiente poseerá las puertas de sus enemigos:
17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
18 En tu simiente serán benditas todas las gentes de la tierra, por cuanto obedeciste á mi voz.
18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
19 And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam dwelt at the well of the oath.
19 Y tornóse Abraham á sus mozos, y levantáronse y se fueron juntos á Beer-seba; y habitó Abraham en Beer-seba.
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor thy brother,
20 Y aconteció después de estas cosas, que fué dada nueva á Abraham, diciendo: He aquí que también Milca ha parido hijos á Nachôr tu hermano:
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz the first-born, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
21 A Huz su primogénito, y á Buz su hermano, y á Kemuel padre de Aram,
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
22 Y á Chêsed, y á Hazo, y á Pildas, y á Jidlaph, y á Bethuel.
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
23 Y Bethuel engendró á Rebeca. Estos ocho parió Milca á Nachôr, hermano de Abraham.
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
24 Y su concubina, que se llamaba Reúma, parió también á Teba, y á Gaham, y á Taas, y á Maachâ.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Nor are his other tribes in small glory, inasmuch as God had promised, "Thy seed shall be as the stars of heaven." All these, therefore, were highly honoured, and made great, not for their own sake, or for their own works, or for the righteousness which they wrought, but through the operation of His will.
Righteously also do we, possessing the same faith as Abraham, and taking up the cross as Isaac did the wood, follow Him.
This, I say, is the universal way for the deliverance of believers, concerning which the faithful Abraham received the divine assurance, "In thy seed shall all nations be blessed." He, indeed, was by birth a Chaldæan; but, that he might receive these great promises, and that there might be propagated from him a seed "disposed by angels in the hand …

And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy beloved son for my sake." It is said, "Now I know," that is, Now I have made to be known; for God was not previously ignorant of this.

Then, having offered up that ram instead of Isaac his son, "Abraham," as we read, "called the name of that place The Lord seeth: as they say this day, In the mount the Lord hath appeared." As it is said, "Now I know," for Now I have made to be known, so here, "The Lord sees," for The Lord hath …
