1 Mosebog 27
1 Og det hændte sig, der Isak blev gammel, og hans Øjne bleve dunkle, at han ikke kunde se, da kaldte han sin ældste Søn, Esau, og sagde til ham: Min Søn! og han sagde til ham: Se, her er jeg.
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son. And he said to him, Here I am.
2 Og han sagde: Se nu, jeg er gammel og ved ikke min Dødsdag.
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death.
3 Saa tag nu dine Redskaber, dit Kogger og din Bue, gak ud paa Marken og fang mig noget Vildt!
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take venison for me.
4 Og tilbered mig en god Ret, saasom jeg har Lyst til, og bring mig den, at jeg maa æde, paa det min Sjæl maa velsigne dig, før jeg skal dø.
And make savory food for me, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5 Og Rebekka hørte, der Isak talede til Esau, sin Søn; saa gik Esau paa Marken at fange noget Vildt, at bære hjem.
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 Da sagde Rebekka til Jakob, sin Søn, sigende: Se, jeg hørte din Fader tale til Esau, din Broder, og sige:
And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,
7 Hent mig noget Vildt og tilbered mig en god Ret, at jeg kan æde, saa vil jeg velsigne dig for Herrens Ansigt, førend jeg dør.
Bring venison for me, and make savory food for me, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
8 Saa adlyd nu min Røst, min Søn! eftersom jeg befaler dig.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9 Gak nu til Hjorden og hent mig derfra to gode Gedekid, at jeg kan tilberede din Fader en god Ret af dem, saasom han har Lyst til.
Go now to the flock, and fetch me two good kids of the goats from there. And I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loves.
10 Og den skal du bære til din Fader, at han skal æde deraf, paa det han skal velsigne dig, førend han dør.
And thou shall bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death.
11 Da sagde Jakob til Rebekka, sin Moder: Se, Esau, min Broder, er en laadden Mand, og jeg er en glat Mand.
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 Maaske min Fader føler paa mig, og jeg vil synes for ham som en Bedrager og føre Forbandelse over mig og ikke Velsignelse.
My father will perhaps feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver. And I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13 Da sagde hans Moder til ham: Din Forbandelse komme over mig, min Søn! lyd kun min Røst og gak, hent mig dem!
And his mother said to him, Upon me be thy curse, my son. Only obey my voice, and go fetch them for me.
14 Da gik han og hentede og bragte sin Moder dem; saa tilberedte hans Moder en god Ret, saasom hans Fader havde Lyst til.
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother. And his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
15 Og Rebekka tog Esaus, sin ældste Søns, kostelige Klæder, som hun havde i Huset hos sig, og lod Jakob, sin yngste Søn, iføre sig dem.
And Rebekah took the goodly garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son.
16 Men Skindene af Gedekiddene iførte hun ham om hans Hænder, og hvor han var glat paa Halsen.
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck.
17 Og hun gav ham den gode Ret og Brød, som hun havde tilberedt, i sin Søn Jakobs Haand.
And she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Og han gik til sin Fader og sagde: Min Fader! og han sagde: Se, her er jeg; hvo er du, min Søn?
And he came to his father, and said, My father. And he said, Here I am. Who are thou, my son?
19 Og Jakob sagde til sin Fader: Jeg, Esau, din førstefødte, har gjort, saasom du sagde til mig; kære, staa op, sæt dig og æd af mit Vildt, paa det din Sjæl skal velsigne mig.
And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau thy firstborn. I have done according as thou bade me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 Da sagde Isak til sin Søn: Hvorledes har du saa snart fundet det, min Søn? og han sagde: Fordi Herren din Gud skikkede mig det til Hænde.
And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God sent me good speed.
21 Da sagde Isak til Jakob: Kom dog nær hid, og jeg vil føle paa dig, min Søn! om du er min Søn Esau eller ej.
And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
22 Og Jakob gik nær til sin Fader Isak, og han følte paa ham og sagde: Røsten er Jakobs Røst, men Hænderne ere Esaus Hænder.
And Jacob went near to Isaac his father. And he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 Og han kendte ham ikke, thi hans Hænder vare laadne som Esaus, hans Broders, Hænder; og han velsignede ham.
And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy as his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him.
24 Og han sagde: Du, er du denne min Søn Esau? og han sagde: Jeg er det.
And he said, Are thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
25 Da sagde han: Bring mig det hid og lad mig æde af min Søns Vildt, at min Sjæl skal velsigne dig; saa bragte han ham det, og han aad, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak.
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he ate. And he brought wine to him, and he drank.
26 Og Isak, hans Fader, sagde til ham: Kære, kom nærmere og kys mig, min Søn!
And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 Og han kom nærmere og kyssede ham; og han lugtede Lugten af hans Klæder og velsignede ham og sagde: Se, min Søns Lugt er som Lugten af en Mark, hvilken Herren har velsignet.
And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that Jehovah has blessed.
28 Og Gud give dig af Himmelens Dug og af Jordens Fedme og meget Korn og Most.
And God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 Folkene skulle tjene dig, og Folkefærd skulle falde dig til Fode. Bliv en Herre over dine Brødre, og din Moders Sønner skulle falde dig til Fode; hvo som forbander dig, være forbandet, og hvo som velsigner dig, være velsignet!
Let peoples serve thee, and nations bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brothers, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be he who curses thee, and blessed be he who blesses thee.
30 Og det skete, der Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, da Jakob lige var gaaet ud fra sin Fader Isak, at Esau, hans Broder, kom fra sin Jagt.
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 Og han tilberedte ogsaa en god Ret og bragte den ind til sin Fader og sagde til sin Fader: Min Fader staa op og æde af sin Søns Vildt, at din Sjæl skal velsigne mig.
And he also made savory food, and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32 Da sagde Isak, hans Fader til ham: Hvo er du? og han sagde: Jeg er din Søn, din førstefødte, Esau.
And Isaac his father said to him, Who are thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.
33 Da forfærdedes Isak med en overmaade stor Forfærdelse og sagde: Hvo er dog den, som fangede Vildt og frembar til mig? og jeg aad af alt, før du kom, og jeg har velsignet ham; og han skal ogsaa være velsignet.
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who then is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou came, and have blessed him? Yea, he shall be blessed.
34 Der Esau hørte sin Faders Tale, da skreg han med et stort og overmaade bittert Skrig og sagde til sin Fader: Velsign mig, ogsaa mig, min Fader!
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
35 Og han sagde: Din Broder kom med List og tog din Velsignelse.
And he said, Thy brother came with guile, and has taken away thy blessing.
36 Da sagde han: Mon man derfor har kaldet hans Navn Jakob, fordi han nu har to Gange bedraget mig? min Førstefødselsret har han taget, og se, nu tog han min Velsignelse; og han sagde: Har du ikke bevaret mig en Velsignelse?
And he said, Is not he rightly name Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have thou not reserved a blessing for me?
37 Og Isak svarede og sagde til Esau: Se, jeg har sat ham til en Herre over dig og gjort alle hans Brødre til hans Tjenere og forsørget ham med Korn og Most, hvad skal jeg da gøre ved dig, min Søn?
And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. And what then shall I do for thee, my son?
38 Og Esau sagde til sin Fader: Har du ikke uden denne ene Velsignelse, min Fader? velsign mig, ogsaa mig, min Fader! og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd.
And Esau said to his father, Have thou but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 Da svarede Isak, hans Fader, og sagde til ham: Se, din Bolig skal være uden Jordens Fedme og uden Himmelens Dug fra oven ned.
And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be thy dwelling, and of the dew of heaven from above.
40 Og ved dit Sværd skal du leve og tjene din Broder, og det skal ske, naar du bliver ustyrlig, da skal du bryde hans Aag af din Hals.
And by thy sword thou shall live, and thou shall serve thy brother. And it shall come to pass, when thou shall break loose, that thou shall shake his yoke from off thy neck.
41 Og Esau var Jakob hadsk for den Velsignelses Skyld, som hans Fader havde velsignet ham med, og Esau sagde i sit Hjerte: Det kommer snart, at vi skulle sørge for min Fader, da vil jeg slaa Jakob, min Broder, ihjel.
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.
42 Og Esaus, hendes ældste Søns, Ord bleve Rebekka tilkendegivne; og hun sendte hen og lod Jakob, sin yngste Søn, kalde, og sagde til ham: Se, Esau, din Broder, vil trøste sig med at slaa dig ihjel.
And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau comforts himself concerning thee, to kill thee.
43 Og nu, min Søn, hør min Røst og staa op, fly til Laban, min Broder, i Karan,
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice, and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran.
44 og bliv hos ham nogen Tid, indtil din Broders Hidsighed lægger sig,
And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turns away,
45 indtil din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer det, du har gjort ham, saa vil jeg sende Bud og hente dig derfra; hvi skulde jeg dog berøves eder begge paa en Dag?
until thy brother's anger turns away from thee, and he forgets that which thou have done to him. Then I will send, and fetch thee from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?
46 Og Rebekka sagde til Isak: Jeg kedes ved at leve for Heths Døtres Skyld; dersom Jakob tog en Hustru af Heths Døtre, som disse af dette Lands Døtre, hvad skulde jeg da leve for?
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
