1 Mosebog 25
1 Og Abraham tog atter en Hustru, og hendes Navn var Ketura.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 Og hun fødte ham Simran og Joksan og Medan og Midian og Jisbak og Sua.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Og Joksan avlede Seba og Dedan; men Dedans Børn vare Asurim og Letusim og Leumim.
Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
4 Og Midians Børn vare Efa og Efer og Kanok og Abida og Eldaa; disse ere alle Keturas Børn.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Og Abraham gav Isak alt det, han ejede.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Men de Medhustruers Børn, som Abraham havde, gav Abraham Skænk og lod dem, medens han endnu levede, fare fra Isak sin Søn mod Østen til Østerland.
But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
7 Og disse ere Abrahams Livs Aars Dage, som han levede: hundrede Aar og halvfjerdsindstyve Aar og fem Aar.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Og Abraham opgav Aanden og døde i en god Alderdom, gammel og mæt, og blev samlet til sit Folk,
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Og Isak og Ismael, hans Sønner, begrove ham i Hulen Makpela, paa Efrons, Zokars den Hethiters Søns, Ager, som ligger tvært over for Mamre.
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
10 Paa den Ager, som Abraham købte af Heths Børn, der blev Abraham begraven og Sara hans Hustru.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 Og det skete efter Abrahams Død, at Gud velsignede Isak hans Søn, og Isak boede ved den Kilde, som kaldes Beer Lakai Roi.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Og disse ere Ismaels, Abrahams Søns, Slægter, som Ægypterinden Hagar, Saras Pige, fødte Abraham.
(These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
13 Og disse ere Ismaels Børns Navne, efter deres Navne, i deres Slægter: Ismaels førstefødte Nebajoth og Kedar og Adbeel og Mibsam
These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 og Misma og Duma og Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Kadar og Thema, Jetur, Nafis og Kedma.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Disse ere Ismaels Sønner, og disse ere deres Navne udi deres Byer og i deres Lejre, tolv Fyrster for deres Folk.
The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
17 Og disse ere Ismaels Livs Aar: hundrede Aar og tredive Aar og syv Aar, saa opgav han Aanden og døde og blev samlet til sit Folk.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Og de boede fra Havila indtil Sur, som er foran Ægypten og henimod Assyrien; hans Arv faldt foran alle hans Brødre.
His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
19 Og disse ere Isaks, Abrahams Søns, Slægter: Abraham avlede Isak.
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Og Isak var fyrretyve Aar gammel, der han tog Rebekka, Bethuel den Syrers Datter, af Paddan-Aram, Laban den Syrers Søster, sig til Hustru.
and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
21 Og Isak bad til Herren paa sin Hustrus Vegne, thi hun var ufrugtbar; og Herren bønhørte ham, og Rebekka, hans Hustru, undfik.
Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
22 Og Børnene stødte mod hinanden i hendes Liv, og hun sagde: Dersom det er saaledes, hvorfor er jeg da til? og hun gik at udspørge Herren.
She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
23 Og Herren sagde til hende: Tvende Folk ere i dit Liv, og to forskellige Folk skulle udgaa af dit Liv, og det ene Folk skal være stærkere end det andet Folk, og det større skal tjene det mindre.
Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
24 Der nu hendes Tid kom, at hun skulde føde, se, da vare der Tvillinger i hendes Liv.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Og den første kom frem, han var rød, ganske laadden som en Kappe, og de kaldte hans Navn Esau.
The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
26 Og derefter kom hans Broder frem, og hans Haand havde fat paa Esaus Hæl, og man kaldte hans Navn Jakob; og Isak var tresindstyve Aar gammel, der han avlede dem.
Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
27 Og Drengene bleve store, og Esau blev en Mand, som forstod sig paa Jagt og levede paa Marken; men Jakob var en from Mand, som boede i Telte.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
28 Og Isak havde Esau kær, thi hans Jagt smagte ham; men Rebekka havde Jakob kær.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Og Jakob havde tilberedt en Ret, og Esau kom fra Marken og var træt.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Og Esau sagde til Jakob: Kære, lad mig smage af det røde, dette røde, thi jeg er træt; derfor kaldte man hans Navn Edom.
He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
31 Da sagde Jakob: Sælg mig i Dag din Førstefødsel.
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Og Esau sagde: Se, jeg gaar at dø, hvad kan jeg da gøre med den Førstefødsel?
Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
33 Og Jakob sagde: Sværg mig i Dag; og han tilsvor ham, og han solgte Jakob sin Førstefødsel.
Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Da gav Jakob Esau Brød og den Ret af Linser, og han aad og drak og stod op og gik bort; og Esau foragtede Førstefødselen.
Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
