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.
When Isaac [Laughter] was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau [Hairy] his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 Og han sagde: Se nu, jeg er gammel og ved ikke min Dødsdag.
He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know 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, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.
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.
Make me savory food, such as I 'ahav ·affectionately love·, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you 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.
Rebekah [Securely bound] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· when Isaac [Laughter] spoke to Esau [Hairy] his son. Esau [Hairy] 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:
Rebekah [Securely bound] spoke to Jacob [Supplanter] her son, saying, “Behold, I sh'ma ·heard obeyed· your father speak to Esau [Hairy] your 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 me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Adonai before my death.’
8 Saa adlyd nu min Røst, min Søn! eftersom jeg befaler dig.
Now therefore, my son, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice according to that which I enjoin you.
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 get me from there two good young goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he 'ahav ·affectionately loves·.
10 Og den skal du bære til din Fader, at han skal æde deraf, paa det han skal velsigne dig, førend han dør.
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you 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.
Jacob [Supplanter] said to Rebekah [Securely bound] his mother, “Behold, Esau [Hairy] 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.
What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, 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!
His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice, and go get 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.
He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father 'ahav ·affectionately 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.
Rebekah [Securely bound] took the good clothes of Esau [Hairy], her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob [Supplanter], her younger son.
16 Men Skindene af Gedekiddene iførte hun ham om hans Hænder, og hvor han var glat paa Halsen.
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 Og hun gav ham den gode Ret og Brød, som hun havde tilberedt, i sin Søn Jakobs Haand.
She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob [Supplanter].
18 Og han gik til sin Fader og sagde: Min Fader! og han sagde: Se, her er jeg; hvo er du, min Søn?
He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, 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.
Jacob [Supplanter] said to his father, “I am Esau [Hairy] your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your 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.
Isaac [Laughter] said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Adonai your God gave me success.”
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.
Isaac [Laughter] said to Jacob [Supplanter], “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau [Hairy] 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.
Jacob [Supplanter] went near to Isaac [Laughter] his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob [Supplanter]’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau [Hairy].”
23 Og han kendte ham ikke, thi hans Hænder vare laadne som Esaus, hans Broders, Hænder; og han velsignede ham.
He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau [Hairy]’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 Og han sagde: Du, er du denne min Søn Esau? og han sagde: Jeg er det.
He said, “Are you really my son Esau [Hairy]?” 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.
He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Og Isak, hans Fader, sagde til ham: Kære, kom nærmere og kys mig, min Søn!
His father Isaac [Laughter] 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.
He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Adonai has blessed.
28 Og Gud give dig af Himmelens Dug og af Jordens Fedme og meget Korn og Most.
God give you of the dew of the sky, 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 you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
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.
As soon as Isaac [Laughter] had finished blessing Jacob [Supplanter], and Jacob [Supplanter] had just gone out from the presence of Isaac [Laughter] his father, Esau [Hairy] 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.
He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your 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.
Isaac [Laughter] his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau [Hairy].”
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.
Isaac [Laughter] trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will 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 [Hairy] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
35 Og han sagde: Din Broder kom med List og tog din Velsignelse.
He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your 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?
He said, “Is not he rightly named Jacob [Supplanter]? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you 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?
Isaac [Laughter] answered Esau [Hairy], “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, 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.
Esau [Hairy] said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau [Hairy] 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.
Isaac [Laughter] his father answered him, “Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky 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.
By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your 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.
Esau [Hairy] hated Jacob [Supplanter] because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau [Hairy] said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob [Supplanter].”
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.
The words of Esau [Hairy], her elder son, were told to Rebekah [Securely bound]. She sent and called Jacob [Supplanter], her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau [Hairy] comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 Og nu, min Søn, hør min Røst og staa op, fly til Laban, min Broder, i Karan,
Now therefore, my son, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Arise, flee to Laban [White], my brother, in Haran [Mountaineer].
44 og bliv hos ham nogen Tid, indtil din Broders Hidsighed lægger sig,
Stay with him a few days, until your 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 your brother’s anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you 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?
Rebekah [Securely bound] said to Isaac [Laughter], “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth [Trembling fear]. If Jacob [Supplanter] takes a wife of the daughters of Heth [Trembling fear], such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
