1 Mosebog 22
1 Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham paa Prøve og sagde til ham: »Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
2 Da sagde han: »Tag din Søn Isak, din eneste, ham, du elsker, og drag hen til Morija Land og bring ham der som Brændoffer paa et af Bjergene, som jeg vil vise dig!«
“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
3 Da sadlede Abraham tidligt næste Morgen sit Æsel, tog to af sine Drenge og sin Søn Isak med sig, og efter at have kløvet Offerbrænde gav han sig paa Vandring; til det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
4 Da Abraham den tredje Dag saa op, fik han Øje paa Stedet langt borte.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 Saa sagde Abraham til sine Drenge: »Bliv her med Æselet, medens jeg og Drengen vandrer derhen for at tilbede; saa kommer vi tilbage til eder.«
“Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
6 Abraham tog da Brændet til Brændofferet og lagde det paa sin Søn Isak; selv tog han Ilden og Offerkniven, og saa gik de to sammen.
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7 Da sagde Isak til sin Fader Abraham: »Fader!« Han svarede: »Ja, min Søn!« Da sagde han: »Her er Ilden og Brændet, men hvor er Dyret til Brændofferet?«
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraham svarede: »Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!« Og saa gik de to sammen.
Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
9 Da de naaede det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham, byggede Abraham der et Alter og lagde Brændet til Rette; saa bandt han sin Søn Isak og lagde ham paa Alteret oven paa Brændet.
When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
10 Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Haanden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 Da raabte HERRENS Engel til ham fra Himmelen: »Abraham, Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 Da sagde Engelen: »Ræk ikke din Haand ud mod Drengen og gør ham ikke noget; thi nu ved jeg, at du frygter Gud og end ikke sparer din Søn, din eneste, for mig!«
“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
13 Og da Abraham nu saa op, fik han bag ved sig Øje paa en Væder, hvis Horn havde viklet sig ind i de tætte Grene; og Abraham gik hen og tog Væderen og ofrede den som Brændoffer i sin Søns Sted.
Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HERREN udser sig, eller, som man nu til Dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HERREN viser sig.
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 Men HERRENS Engel raabte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16 »Jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HERREN: Fordi du har gjort dette og ikke sparet din Søn, din eneste, for mig,
saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
17 saa vil jeg velsigne dig og gøre dit Afkom talrigt som Himmelens Stjerner og Sandet ved Havets Bred; og dit Afkom skal tage sine Fjenders Porte i Besiddelse;
I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!«
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
19 Derpaa vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.
Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
20 Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: »Ogsaa Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,
Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka.«
Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
