英漢對照圣經(jīng)故事:亞伯拉罕 Abraham
First of the Hebrew patriarchs, revered by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Genesis tells how Abraham, at 75, left Ur with his barren wife Sarai (later Sarah) and others to found a new nation in Canaan. There God made a covenant with him, promising that his descendants would inherit the land and become a great nation. Abraham fathered Ishmael by Sarah's maidservant Hagar; Sarah herself bore Isaac, who inherited the covenant. Abraham's faith was tested when God ordered him to sacrifice Isaac; he was prepared to obey but God relented. In Judaism he is a model of virtue, in Christianity he is the father of all believers, and in Islam he is an ancestor of Muhammad and a model (in Sufism) of generosity.

希伯來族長之首,為猶太教(Judaism)、基督教(Christianity)和伊斯蘭教所崇敬。據(jù)《舊約。創(chuàng)世記》(Genesis)所載,亞伯拉罕七十五歲時受主召喚,離開烏爾城(Ur),攜帶不孕的妻子撒拉(Sarai)和其他人至迦南(Canaan)建立新國家。神與他定約,其后裔將來會繼承這塊土地,并成為大國。后來亞伯拉罕果與其妻之婢女夏甲(|Hagar)生下一子以實(shí)瑪利(Ishmael),之后撒拉生下嫡子以撒(Isaac)。當(dāng)主要求亞伯拉罕犧牲以撒以考驗(yàn)其忠誠時,他也準(zhǔn)備遵命,但主后來態(tài)度軟化了。在猶太教里,亞伯拉罕是美德的典范;在基督教里,他是所有信徒之父;在伊斯蘭教里,他是穆罕默德的祖先和寬大的楷模(于蘇菲教派〔Sufism〕)。
