WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Algún tiempo después, Dios puso a prueba a Abraham. Y lo llamó: “¡Abraham!” “Aquí estoy”, respondió Abraham.
1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
2 Entonces Dios le dijo: “Ve con tu hijo, el hijo al que amas, tu único hijo, a la tierra de Moriah y sacrifícalo como una ofrenda quemada sobre el altar en una de las montañas que yo te mostraré”.
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 A la mañana siguiente, Abraham se levantó temprano y ensilló su asno. Tomó consigo a dos siervos y a Isaac, y se fue a cortar leña para quemar la ofrenda. Y se fue con ellos al lugar que Dios le había dicho.
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 Después de viajar por tres días, Abraham pudo finalmente ver el lugar a la distancia.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
5 Y le dijo a sus siervos: “Esperen aquí con el asno mientras yo voy con mi hijo y adoro a Dios. Después regresaremos”.
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 Entonces Abraham hizo que Isaac cargara la leña para la ofrenda que debía quemar, mientras que él llevaba el fuego y el cuchillo, y caminaron 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 Isaac le dijo a Abraham, “Padre…” “Dime, hijo…” respondió Abraham. “Puedo ver que tenemos el fuego y la madera, pero ¿dónde está el cordero para la ofrenda que vamos a quemar?” preguntó Isaac.
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 “Dios proveerá el cordero para la ofrenda que vamos a quemar, hijo mío”, respondió Abraham, y siguieron caminando juntos.
8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
9 Cuando llegaron al lugar que Dios les había mostrado, Abraham construyó un altar y puso sobre él la leña. Entonces amarró a su hijo Isaac y lo puso sobe el altar sobre la madera.
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 Y Abraham tomó el cuchillo, listo para sacrificar a su hijo.
10 Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 Pero el ángel del Señor le gritó fuerte desde el cielo, diciendo “¡Abraham! ¡Abraham!” “Sí, aquí estoy”, respondió.
11 Yahweh’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
12 Entonces el ángel le dijo: “¡No toques al niño! No le hagas nada, porque ahora sé que realmente obedeces a Dios, pues no te negaste a darme a tu hijo, a tu único hijo”.
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 Abraham entonces elevó su mirada y vio a un carnero que estaba enredado con sus cuernos en medio de los arbustos. Trajo al carnero y lo sacrificó como ofrenda 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 Y Abraham llamó a aquél lugar “El Señor proveerá”.Esa es una frase que la gente usa aun hoy: “El Señor proveerá en esta montaña”.
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 Entonces el ángel del Señor gritó otra vez a Abraham desde el cielo:
15 Yahweh’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
16 “Te juro por mí mismo, dice el Señor, que por lo que has hecho y por no haberte negado a darme a tu hijo, a tu único hijo,
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 puedes estar seguro de que te bendeciré y te daré muchos descendientes. Serán tan numerosos como las estrellas del cielo y la arena del mar, y conquistarán a 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 Y todas las naciones de la tierra serán benditas por tus descendientes porque tú me obedeciste”.
18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
19 Entonces Abraham regresó donde estaban sus siervos, y se fueron juntos a Beerseba, donde vivía Abraham.
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 Algún tiempo después, a Abraham le informaron: “Milca ha tenido hijos con tu hermano Nacor”.
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz fue el primogénito, luego nació su hermano Buz, después Quemuel (quien vino a ser el ancestro de los arameos),
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Quesed, Hazo, Pildas, Jidlaf, y Betuel.
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 (Betuel fue el padre de Rebeca). Milca tuvo estos ocho hijos con Nacor, el hermano de Abraham.
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 Además, su concubina Reúma tuvo a Tebahj, a Gajam, a Tajas, y a Maaca.
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).

  1. Quotes verse 22:17 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters XXVI–XXXIII)

    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.

    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.
