¹ Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα ο Θεος εδοκιμασε τον Αβρααμ, και ειπε προς αυτον, Αβρααμ· ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.

² Και ειπε, Λαβε τωρα τον υιον σου τον μονογενη, τον οποιον ηγαπησας, τον Ισαακ, και υπαγε εις τον τοπον Μορια, και προσφερε αυτον εκει εις ολοκαυτωμα, επι ενος των ορεων, το οποιον θελω σοι ειπει.

³ Σηκωθεις δε Αβρααμ ενωρις το πρωι, εσαμαρωσε την ονον αυτου και ελαβε μεθ' εαυτου δυο εκ των δουλων αυτου και Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και σχισας ξυλα δια την ολοκαυτωσιν, εσηκωθη και υπηγεν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.

⁴ Την δε τριτην ημεραν υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε τον τοπον μακροθεν.

⁵ Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου, Σεις καθισατε αυτου μετα της ονου· εγω δε και το παιδαριον θελομεν υπαγει εως εκει· και αφου προσκυνησωμεν, θελομεν επιστρεψει προς εσας.

⁶ Και λαβων ο Αβρααμ τα ξυλα της ολοκαυτωσεως, επεθεσεν επι τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και ελαβεν εις την χειρα αυτου το πυρ, και την μαχαιραν, και υπηγον οι δυο ομου.

⁷ Τοτε ελαλησεν ο Ισαακ προς Αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου και ειπε, Πατερ μου. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω, τεκνον μου. Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ, Ιδου, το πυρ και τα ξυλα· αλλα που το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν;

⁸ Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ο Θεος, τεκνον μου, θελει προβλεψει εις εαυτον το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν. Και επορευοντο οι δυο ομου.

⁹ Αφου δε εφθασαν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος, ωκοδομησεν εκει ο Αβρααμ το θυσιαστηριον και διεθεσε τα ξυλα, και δεσας τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου εβαλεν αυτον επι το θυσιαστηριον επανω των ξυλων·

¹⁰ και εκτεινας ο Αβρααμ την χειρα αυτου, ελαβε την μαχαιραν δια να σφαξη τον υιον αυτου.

¹¹ Αγγελος δε Κυριου εφωνησε προς αυτον εκ του ουρανου και ειπεν, Αβρααμ, Αβρααμ. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.

¹² Και ειπε, Μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου επι το παιδαριον, και μη πραξης εις αυτο μηδεν· διοτι τωρα εγνωρισα οτι συ φοβεισαι τον Θεον, επειδη δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου τον μονογενη δι' εμε.

¹³ Και υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου ειδε· και ιδου, κριος οπισθεν αυτου, κρατουμενος απο των κερατων αυτου εις φυτον πυκνοκλαδον· και ελθων ο Αβρααμ, ελαβε τον κριον και προσεφερεν αυτον εις ολοκαυτωμα αντι του υιου αυτου.

¹⁴ Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβρααμ το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου Ιεοβα-ιρε· ως λεγεται και την σημερον, Εν τω ορει ο Κυριος θελει εμφανισθη.

¹⁵ Και εφωνησε δευτερον ο αγγελος του Κυριου προς τον Αβρααμ εκ του ουρανου,

¹⁶ και ειπεν, Ωμοσα εις εμαυτον, λεγει Κυριος, οτι, επειδη επραξας το πραγμα τουτο και δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου, τον μονογενη σου,

¹⁷ οτι ευλογων θελω σε ευλογησει, και πληθυνων θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου ως τα αστρα του ουρανου και ως την αμμον την παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης· και το σπερμα σου θελει κυριευσει τας πυλας των εχθρων αυτου·

¹⁸ και εν τω σπερματι σου θελουσιν ευλογηθη παντα τα εθνη της γης· διοτι υπηκουσας εις την φωνην μου.

¹⁹ Και επεστρεψεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου· και σηκωθεντες, υπηγον ομου εις Βηρ-σαβεε· και κατωκησεν ο Αβρααμ Ενβηρ-σαβεε.

²⁰ Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα, ανηγγειλαν προς τον Αβρααμ λεγοντες, Ιδου, η Μελχα εγεννησε και αυτη υιους εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον σου·

²¹ τον Ουζ πρωτοτοκον αυτου, και τον Βουζ αδελφον αυτου, και τον Κεμουηλ τον πατερα του Αραμ,

²² και τον Κεσεδ, και τον Αζαυ, και τον Φαλδες, και τον Ιελδαφ, και τον Βαθουηλ.

²³ Ο δε Βαθουηλ εγεννησε την Ρεβεκκαν· τους οκτω τουτους εγεννησεν η Μελχα εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον του Αβρααμ.

²⁴ Και η παλλακη αυτου, η ονομαζομενη Ρευμα, εγεννησε και αυτη τον Ταβεκ και τον Γααμ και τον Ταχας και τον Μααχα.

¹ Moreover the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

² Thus says Yahweh who does it, Yahweh who forms it to establish it; Yahweh is his name:

³ Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you don't know.

⁴ For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down [to make a defense] against the mounds and against the sword;

⁵ while [men] come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:

⁶ Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.

⁷ I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

⁸ I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned against me, and by which they have transgressed against me.

⁹ [This city] shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure to it.

¹⁰ Thus says Yahweh: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, about which you say, It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,

¹¹ the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, Give thanks to Yahweh of Armies, for Yahweh is good, for his loving kindness endures forever; [and of them] who bring [sacrifices of] thanksgiving into the house of Yahweh. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, says Yahweh.

¹² Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

¹³ In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him who numbers them, says Yahweh.

¹⁴ Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.

¹⁵ In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

¹⁶ In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is [the name] by which she shall be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

¹⁷ For thus says Yahweh: David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel;

¹⁸ neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

¹⁹ The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁰ Thus says Yahweh: If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season;

²¹ then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

²² As the army of the sky can't be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites who minister to me.

²³ The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁴ Don't consider what this people has spoken, saying, The two families which Yahweh did choose, he has cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

²⁵ Thus says Yahweh: If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

²⁶ then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.
