1 Mosebog 24
1 Og Abraham var gammel, vel ved Alder, og Herren havde velsignet Abraham i alting.
And Abraham he was old he had come in days and Yahweh he had blessed Abraham in everything.
2 Og Abraham sagde til sin ældste Svend i sit Hus, som raadede over alt hans Gods: Kære, læg din Haand under min Lænd,
And he said Abraham to servant his old of household his who was ruling over all that [belonged] to him put please hand your under thigh my.
3 og jeg vil lade dig sværge ved Herren, Himmelens Gud og Jordens Gud, at du ikke skal tage min Søn en Hustru af Kananiternes Døtre, iblandt hvilke jeg bor;
So I may make swear you by Yahweh [the] God of the heavens and [the] God of the earth that not you will take a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in midst its.
4 men du skal gaa til mit Land og til min Slægt og tage min Søn Isak en Hustru.
For to land my and to kindred my you will go and you will take a wife for son my for Isaac.
5 Og Svenden sagde til ham: Maaske Kvinden ikke vil drage med mig til dette Land; skal jeg da vel føre din Søn tilbage til det Land, som du er kommen fra?
And he said to him the servant perhaps not she will be willing the woman to go after me to the land this ¿ really will I take back son your to the land where you came out from there.
6 Og Abraham sagde til ham: Forvar dig, at du ikke fører min Søn did igen.
And he said to him Abraham take heed to yourself lest you should take back son my there towards.
7 Herren, Himmelens Gud, som tog mig fra min Faders Hus og fra min Slægts Land, og som talede med mig, og som tilsvor mig og sagde: dette Land vil jeg give din Sæd, han skal sende sin Engel for dig, at du skal tage min Søn en Hustru derfra.
Yahweh - [the] God of the heavens who he took me from [the] household of father my and from [the] land of kindred my and who he spoke to me and who he swore an oath to me saying to offspring your I will give the land this he he will send angel his before you and you will take a wife for son my from there.
8 Men dersom Kvinden ikke vil følge dig, da skal du være fri for denne min Ed; ikkun min Søn skal du ikke føre derhen.
And if not she will be willing the woman to go after you and you will be free from oath my this only son my not you must take back there towards.
9 Da lagde Svenden sin Haand under Abrahams, sin Herres, Lænd og tilsvor ham om denne Sag.
And he put the servant hand his under [the] thigh of Abraham master his and he swore an oath to him on the matter this.
10 Saa tog Svenden ti Kameler af sin Herres Kameler og for bort og havde alle Haande af sin Herres Gods med sig og gjorde sig rede og drog til Aram Naharaim, til Nakors Stad.
And he took the servant ten camels from [the] camels of master his and he went and every good thing of master his [was] in hand his and he arose and he went to Aram Naharaim to [the] city of Nahor.
11 Der lod han Kamelerne lægge sig uden for Staden ved en Vandbrønd mod Aftens Tid, mod den Tid da Kvinderne gaa ud at drage Vand.
And he made kneel the camels from [the] outside of the city to [the] well of the water to [the] time of evening to [the] time of [the] going out of the [women who] draw water.
12 Og han sagde: Herre, min Herre Abrahams Gud! Kære, lad det møde mig i Dag, og gør Miskundhed mod min Herre Abraham.
And he said - O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham make happen please before me this day and do covenant loyalty with master my Abraham.
13 Se, jeg staar ved denne Vandbrønd, og Byens Folks Døtre komme ud at drage Vand.
Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and [the] daughters of [the] people of the city [are] coming out to draw water.
14 Og naar det sker, at der kommer en Pige, til hvem jeg siger: Bøj nu din Krukke ned og lad mig drikke, og hun siger: Drik, og jeg vil ogsaa give dine Kameler at drikke, lad hende da være den, som du har udset til din Tjener Isak, saa jeg derpaa kan kende, at du har gjort Miskundhed mod min Herre.
And it will be the young woman whom I will say to her bend down please jar your so I may drink and she will say drink and also camels your I will give a drink to her you have appointed for servant your for Isaac and by it I will know that you have done covenant loyalty with master my.
15 Og det skete, før han havde endt at tale, se, da kom Rebekka ud, som var en Datter af Bethuel, som var en Søn af Milka, Nakors, Abrahams Broders, Hustru, og hendes Krukke var paa hendes Skulder.
And it was he not yet he had finished to speak and there! Rebekah [was] coming out who she had been born to Bethuel [the] son of Milcah [the] wife of Nahor [the] brother of Abraham and jar her [was] on shoulder her.
16 Og Pigen var meget smuk af Anseelse, en Jomfru, og ingen Mand havde kendt hende, og hun gik ned til Brønden og fyldte sin Krukke og gik op.
And the young woman [was] good of appearance exceedingly a virgin and a man not he had known her and she went down the spring towards and she filled jar her and she came up.
17 Da løb Svenden imod hende og sagde: Kære, lad mig drikke lidt Vand af din Krukke.
And he ran the servant to meet her and he said give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
18 Og hun sagde: Drik, min Herre! og hun skyndte sig og tog sin Krukke ned i sin Haand og gav ham at drikke.
And she said drink O lord my and she hurried and she put down jar her on hand her and she gave a drink him.
19 Der hun havde givet ham at drikke, da sagde hun: Jeg vil og drage Vand til dine Kameler, til de have afdrukket.
And she finished to give a drink him and she said also for camels your I will draw water until they have finished to drink.
20 Og hun skyndte sig og tømte sin Krukke i Truget og løb fremdeles til Brønden at øse, og hun drog til alle hans Kameler.
And she hurried and she emptied jar her into the watering channel and she ran again to the well to draw water and she drew water for all camels his.
21 Og Manden undrede sig over hende, tav dog stille for at faa at vide, om Herren havde ladet hans Rejse lykkes eller ej.
And the man [was] gazing to her being silent to know ¿ had he made successful Yahweh journey his or? not.
22 Og det skete, der Kamelerne havde afdrukket, gav Manden hende en Guldring, som vejede en halv Sekel, og satte to Armbaand paa hendes Hænder, de vejede ti Guldsekler.
And it was just as they had finished the camels to drink and he took the man a ring of gold [was] a beka weight its and two bracelets on hands her [was] ten of gold weight their.
23 Og han sagde: Hvis Datter er du? Kære, sig mig, monne der være Rum i din Faders Hus at give os Nattely?
And he said daughter of whom? [are] you tell please to me ¿ [is] there [the] house of father your room for us to stay [the] night.
24 Og hun sagde til ham: Jeg er en Datter af Bethuel, som er en Søn af Milka, der fødte ham for Nakor.
And she said to him [am] [the] daughter of Bethuel I [the] son of Milcah whom she bore to Nahor.
25 Og hun sagde til ham: Der er baade Straa og meget Foder hos os, ogsaa er der Rum til Herberge i Nat.
And she said to him both straw as well as fodder much which [is] with us also room to stay [the] night.
26 Og Manden bøjede sig og tilbad Herren.
And he bowed low the man and he bowed down to Yahweh.
27 Og han sagde: Lovet være Herren, min Herre Abrahams Gud, som ikke har afladt med sin Miskundhed og sin Trofasthed mod min Herre! mig, ja, mig har Herren ført paa Vejen til min Herres Broders Hus.
And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who not he has left covenant loyalty his and faithfulness his from with master my I on the journey he has led me Yahweh [the] house of [the] relatives of master my.
28 Og Pigen løb og kundgjorde i sin Moders Hus disse Ting.
And she ran the young woman and she told to [the] household of mother her according to the things these.
29 Og Rebekka havde en Broder, og hans Navn var Laban, og Laban løb ud til Manden, til Brønden.
And [belonged] to Rebekah a brother and name his [was] Laban and he ran Laban to the man the outside towards to the spring.
30 Og det skete, der han saa Ringen og Armbaandene paa sin Søsters Hænder, og der han hørte Rebekkas, sin Søsters, Ord, at hun sagde: Saaledes har Manden sagt til mig, da kom han til Manden, og se, han stod hos Kamelerne ved Brønden.
And it was - when saw the ring and the bracelets on [the] hands of sister his and just as heard he [the] words of Rebekah sister his saying thus he spoke to me the man and he went to the man and there! [he was] standing with the camels at the spring.
31 Og han sagde: Kom ind, du Herrens Velsignede, hvi staar du herude? thi jeg har beredt Huset, og der er Rum for Kamelerne.
And he said come O [one] blessed of Yahweh why? are you standing on the outside and I I have made clear the house and a place for the camels.
32 Saa kom Manden i Huset og løste Kamelerne, og han gav Straa og Foder til Kamelerne, og Vand til at to hans Fødder og de Mænds Fødder, som vare med ham.
And he went the man the house towards and he unharnessed the camels and he gave straw and fodder to the camels and water to wash feet his and [the] feet of the men who [were] with him.
33 Og der blev sat Mad for ham; men han sagde: Jeg vil ikke æde, før jeg har udsagt mit Ærinde; og han sagde: Tal!
(And it was put *Q(K)*) before him to eat and he said not I will eat until I have spoken words my and he said speak.
34 Og han sagde: Jeg er Abrahams Svend.
And he said [am] [the] servant of Abraham I.
35 Og Herren har velsignet min Herre meget, at han er bleven mægtig; og han har givet ham Faar og Kvæg og Sølv og Guld og Svende og Tjenestepiger og Kameler og Asener.
And Yahweh he has blessed master my exceedingly and he has become great and he has given to him sheep and cattle and silver and gold and [male] servants and female servants and camels and donkeys.
36 Og Sara, min Herres Hustru, har født min Herre en Søn, efter at hun var gammel, og denne har han givet alt det, han ejer.
And she has borne Sarah [the] wife of master my a son to master my after old age her and he has given to him all that [belongs] to him.
37 Og min Herre har taget en Ed af mig og sagt: Du skal ikke tage min Søn en Hustru af Kananiternes Døtre, i hvis Land jeg bor.
And he made swear an oath me master my saying not (you must take *LA(bh)*) a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in land its.
38 Men du skal fare hen til min Faders Hus og til min Slægt og tage min Søn en Hustru.
If not to [the] house of father my you will go and to family my and you will take a wife for son my.
39 Og jeg sagde til min Herre: Maaske Kvinden ikke vil drage med mig.
And I said to master my perhaps not she will go the woman after me.
40 Og han sagde til mig: Herren, for hvis Ansigt jeg har vandret, skal sende sin Engel med dig og give dig en lyksalig Rejse, og du skal tage min Søn en Hustru af min Slægt og af min Faders Hus.
And he said to me Yahweh whom I have walked about before him he will send angel his with you and he will make successful journey your and you will take a wife for son my from family my and from [the] household of father my.
41 Da skal du være fri for min Ed, naar du kommer til min Slægt; og om de ikke ville give dig hende, saa er du fri for min Ed.
Then you will be free from oath my for you will go to family my and if not they will give [her] to you and you will be free from oath my.
42 Saa kom jeg i Dag til Brønden og sagde: Herre, min Herre Abrahams Gud! Kære, dersom du har givet Lykke paa min Rejse, paa hvilken jeg har vandret,
And I came this day to the spring and I said O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham if [are] there you please [are] making successful journey my which I [am] going on it.
43 se, jeg staar ved denne Vandbrønd, og naar det sker, der kommer en Jomfru ud at drage Vand, og jeg siger til hende: Giv mig nu lidet Vand at drikke af din Krukke;
Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and it will be the young woman who will come out to draw water and I will say to her give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
44 og hun siger mig: Baade maa du drikke, og jeg vil ogsaa øse til dine Kameler, lad hende være den Kvinde, som Herren har udset til min Herres Søn.
And she will say to me both you drink and also for camels your I will draw water she [be] the woman whom he has appointed Yahweh for [the] son of master my.
45 Førend jeg havde udtalet i mit Hjerte, se, da kom Rebekka ud, og hendes Krukke var paa hendes Skulder, og hun gik ned til Brønden og drog Vand! da sagde jeg til hende: Kære, giv mig at drikke.
I not yet I had finished to speak to heart my and there! Rebekah [was] coming out and jar her [was] on shoulder her and she went down the spring towards and she drew water and I said to her give a drink me please.
46 Saa skyndte hun sig og tog sin Krukke ned ad sig og sagde: Drik, og jeg vil ogsaa give dine Kameler at drikke; og jeg drak, og hun gav ogsaa Kamelerne at drikke.
And she hurried and she put down jar her from on her and she said drink and also camels your I will give a drink to and I drank and also the camels she gave a drink.
47 Og jeg spurgte hende og sagde: Hvis Datter er du? og hun sagde: Jeg er en Datter af Bethuel, Nakors Søn, som Milka fødte ham. Saa hængte jeg en Ring i hendes Næse og Armbaand paa hendes Hænder.
And I asked her and I said daughter of whom? [are] you and she said [the] daughter of Bethuel [the] son of Nahor whom she bore to him Milcah and I put the ring on nose her and the bracelets on hands her.
48 Og jeg bøjede mig og tilbad Herren og lovede Herren, min Herre Abrahams Gud, som havde ledet mig paa den rette Vej at tage min Herres Broders Datter til hans Søn.
And I bowed low and I bowed down to Yahweh and I blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who he had led me in [the] way of truth to take [the] daughter of [the] brother of master my for son his.
49 Og nu, dersom I ville vise Miskundhed og Trofasthed mod min Herre, siger mig det; men dersom I ikke ville det, da siger mig det, at jeg kan vende mig til den højre eller til den venstre Side.
And now if [are] there you doing loyalty and faithfulness with master my tell to me and if not tell to me so I may turn to right or to left.
50 Da svarede Laban og Bethuel og sagde: Denne Sag er kommen fra Herren, vi kunne hverken tale til dig ondt eller godt.
And he answered Laban and Bethuel and they said from Yahweh it has come out the matter not we are able to speak to you evil or good.
51 Se, der er Rebekka for dig, tag hende og gak, at hmi bliver din Herres Søns Hustru, som Herren har sagt.
Here! Rebekah [is] before you take [her] and go so may she be a wife for [the] son of master your just as he has spoken Yahweh.
52 Og det skete, der Abrahams Svend hørte deres Ord, da bøjede han sig til Jorden for Herren.
And it was just as he heard [the] servant of Abraham words their and he bowed down [the] ground towards to Yahweh.
53 Og Svenden udtog Sølvtøj og Guldtøj og Klæder og gav Rebekka; men hendes Broder og hendes Moder gav han dyrebar Skænk.
And he brought out the servant articles of silver and articles of gold and garments and he gave [them] to Rebekah and precious gifts he gave to brother her and to mother her.
54 Saa aade de og drak, han og de Mænd, som vare med ham, og bleve der om Natten, og de stode op om Morgenen, og han sagde: Lader mig fare til min Herre!
And they ate and they drank he and the men who [were] with him and they stayed [the] night and they arose in the morning and he said send away me to master my.
55 Da sagde hendes Broder og hendes Moder: Lad Pigen blive hos os nogle Dage eller ti, siden maa du fare.
And he said brother her and mother her let her remain the young woman with us days or ten (after *L(S)*) she will go.
56 Og han sagde til dem: Holder mig ikke op, thi Herren har givet Lykke paa min Rejse; lader mig fare, og jeg vil vandre til min Herre.
And he said to them may not you delay me and Yahweh he has made successful journey my send away me so let me go to master my.
57 Og de sagde: Lader os kalde Pigen og spørge, hvad hun siger.
And they said let us summon the young woman and let us ask mouth her.
58 Saa kaldte de ad Rebekka og sagde til hende: Vil du fare med denne Mand? og hun sagde: Jeg vil fare.
And they summoned Rebekah and they said to her ¿ will you go with the man this and she said I will go.
59 Saa lode de deres Søster Rebekka og hendes Amme og Abrahams Svend og hans Mænd fare.
And they sent away Rebekah sister their and suckling-nurse her and [the] servant of Abraham and men his.
60 Og de velsignede Rebekka og sagde til hende: Vor Søster! bliv du til tusinde Gange Titusinde, og din Sæd skal eje sine Fjenders Port.
And they blessed Rebekah and they said to her O sister our you become thousands of ten thousand so may it take possession of offspring your [the] gate of [those who] hate it.
61 Saa stod Rebekka op og hendes Piger, og de satte sig paa Kameler og fore med Manden, og Svenden annammede Rebekka og for bort.
And she arose Rebekah and maids her and they rode on the camels and they went after the man and he took the servant Rebekah and he went.
62 Og Isak kom gaaende fra den Brønd, som kaldes Beer Lakai Roi; thi han boede i Landet imod Sønden.
And Isaac he came from going Beer Lahai Roi and he [was] dwelling in [the] land of the Negev.
63 Og Isak var udgangen til at gøre Bøn paa Marken mod Aften, og han opløftede sine Øjne og saa, og se, Kamelerne kom.
And he went out Isaac to meditate in the field to [the] turning of evening and he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! camels [were] coming.
64 Og Rebekka opløftede sine Øjne og saa Isak og steg hastig ned ad Kamelen.
And she lifted up Rebekah eyes her and she saw Isaac and she fell from on the camel.
65 Og hun sagde til Svenden: Hvo er den Mand, som gaar paa Marken imod os? og Svenden sagde: Det er min Herre; saa tog hun et Slør og skjulte sig.
And she said to the servant who? [is] the man this who is walking in the field to meet us and he said the servant it [is] master my and she took the veil and she covered herself.
66 Og Svenden fortalte Isak hele Sagen, som han havde udrettet.
And he recounted the servant to Isaac all the things which he had done.
67 Saa ledte Isak hende til sin Moder Saras Telt, og han tog Rebekka, og hun blev hans Hustru, og han elskede hende; og Isak blev trøstet efter sin Moder.
And he brought her Isaac the tent of towards Sarah mother his and he took Rebekah and she became of him a wife and he loved her and he was comforted Isaac after mother his.
