Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22:1-13) - translation from Old English into Modern English

God wolde þa fandian Abrahames gehiersumnesse, and clipode his naman, and cwæð him þus to: 'Nim þinne ancennedan sunu Isaac, þe þu lufast, and far to þam lande Visionis hraðe, and geoffra hine þær uppan anre dune.' Abraham þa aras on þære ilcan nihte, and ferde mid twam cnapum to þam fierlenan lande, and Isaac samod, on assum ridende. Þa on þam þriddan dæge, þa hie þa dune gesawon þær þær hie to scoldon to ofsleanne Isaac, þa cwæð Abraham to þam twam cnapum þus: 'Anbidiað eow her mid þam assum sume hwile. Ic and þæt cild gað unc to gebiddenne, and we siððan cumað sona eft to eow.' Abraham þa het Isaac beran þone wudu to þære stowe, and he self bær his sweord and fyr. Isaac þa ascode Abraham his fæder: 'Fæder min, ic ascie hwær seo offrung sie; her is wudu and fyr.' Him andwyrde se fæder, 'God foresceawað, mine sunu, him self þa offrunge.' Hie comon þa to þære stowe þe him gesweotolode God, and he þær weofod arærde on þa ealdan wisan, and þone wudu gelogode swa swa he hit wolde habban to his suna bærnette siððan he ofslægen wurde. He geband þa his sunu, and his sweord ateah, þæt he hine geoffrode on þa ealdan wisan. Mid þam þe he wolde þæt weorc beginnan, þa clipode Godes engel arodlice of heofonum, 'Abraham!' He andwyrde sona. Se engel him cwæð þa to: 'Ne acwele þu þæt cild, ne þine hand ne astrece ofer his sweoran! Nu ic oncneow soðlice þæt þu swiðe ondrætst God, nu þu þinne ancennedan sunu ofslean woldest for him.'

Þa beseah Abraham sona underbæc and geseah þær anne ramm betweox þam bremelum be þam hornum gehæft, and he ahefde þone ramm to þære offrunge and hine þær ofsnað Gode to lace for his sunu Isaac.


TRANSLATION:

God wanted to test Abraham's obedience and called his name and said to him: "Take your only begotten son Isaac that you love and go quickly to the land Visionis and sacrifice him there upon the mountain." Abraham arouse the same night and went with two servants to the distant land and with Isaac riding at the same time on a donkey. Then on the third day, when they saw the hill where they had to go to slay Isaac, Abraham said to the two servants: "Wait here with the donkey for a while. I and the childare going to pray and we'll later come to you again. Abraham commanded Isaac to carry the wood to that place and he himself carried his sword and fire. Then Isaac asked is father Abraham: "My father, I ask you where the sacrifice is. Here is wood and fire." His father answered him: "My son, God himself will provide you with the sacrifice." They came to the place which God revealed to them and Abraham raised an altar in the old manner and placed the wood just as he wanted to have it for the burning of his son after he was killed. He tied his son and drew his sword in order to offer him in the old manner. When he wanted to begin the work, God's angel quickly called from heaven: "Abraham!" He answered immediately. The angel told him: "Don't kill the child and don't stretch out your hand over his neck. Now I recognise that you truly fear God and that you would sacrifice your only begotten son for him."

Then Abraham looked immediately behind and saw a ram caught between the bramble by the horn and he raised the ram and slaughtered him (it) as a sacrifice to God for his son Isaac.

Once, when I was strolling around our local mall, I encountered the view you can see above :) A window display with nothing but brandy :D STOCK brandy should be proud and praise the employees for such a good advertising approach ;)

Green tea

I love green tea and could drink it all the time :) And I do so most of the time ;P To the point when my mom starts telling me that too much isn't good either ;) Below, you can see a picture of a tea my mom made on Sunday. It was delicious, had great aroma, and was definitely one of a kind. My mom bought it in a form of a small ball and this is what emerged from it in boiling water :) Looks nice, doesn't it? I encourage you then to drink a lot of green tea, since it is said, green tea is really healthy. It can prevent you from going down with some serious diseases, including heart failures.

The delicious-looking tea you can see below was found by me thanks to Google Image Search:
green tea
I would definitely want to try it ;)


And... what came as a surprise to me is that the Japanese make green tea flavoured Kit Kat! Check it out:

Plus, we all know that Lipton Ice Tea also comes in this flavour:

Green tea ice cream!

Even green tea cupcakes...

But, what I really would like to try some time soon is the Starbucks Green Tea Latte and Green Tea Liqueur. They both look great:

So... Don't wait any longer, go and make some tea! :)

Shouldn't it be at a dump somewhere outside the city instead of a parking lot in the city centre? :>
