1 Mosebog 25
1 Abraham tog sig en Hustru, som hed Ketura;
And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 og hun fødte ham Zimran, Joksjan, Medan, Midjan, Jisjbak og Sjua.
And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Joksjan avlede Saba og Dedan. Dedans Sønner var Assjuriterne, Letusjiterne og Le'ummiterne.
And Jokshan begot Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 Midjans Sønner var Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida og Elda'a. Alle disse var Keturas Sønner.
And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.
5 Abraham gav Isak alt, hvad han ejede;
And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
6 men de Sønner, Abraham havde med sine Medhustruer, skænkede han Gaver og sendte dem, medens han endnu levede, bort fra sin Søn Isak, østpaa til Østlandet.
But to the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts. And he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.
7 De Aar, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;
And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred seventy-five years.
8 saa udaandede han. Og Abraham døde i en god Alderdom, gammel og mæt af Dage, og samledes til sin Slægt.
And Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
9 Og hans Sønner Isak og Ismael jordede ham i Makpelas Klippehule paa Hetiten Efrons Zohars Søns, Mark over for Mamre,
And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre,
10 den Mark, Abraham havde købt af Hetiterne; der jordedes Abraham og hans Hustru Sara.
the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 Og da Abraham var død, velsignede Gud hans Søn Isak. Isak boede ved Be'er-lahaj-ro'i.
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Dette er Abrahams Søn Ismaels Slægtebog, hvem Saras Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, fødte ham.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.
13 Følgende er Navnene paa Ismaels Sønner efter deres Navne og Slægter: Nebajot, Ismaels førstefødte, Kedar, Adbe'el, Mibsam,
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 Misjma, Duma, Massa,
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisj og Kedma.
Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Det var Ismaels Sønner, og det var deres Navne i deres Indhegninger og Teltlejre, tolv Høvdinger med deres Stammer.
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their nations.
17 Ismaels Leveaar udgjorde 137; saa udaandede han; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt.
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years. And he gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 De havde deres Boliger fra Havila til Sjur over for Ægypten hen ad Assjur til. Lige for Øjnene af alle sine Brødre slog han sig ned.
And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur which is before Egypt, as thou go toward Assyria. He abode opposite all his brothers.
19 Dette er Abrahams Søn Isaks Slægtebog. Abraham avlede Isak.
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac.
20 Isak var fyrretyve Aar gammel, da han tog Rebekka, en Datter af Aramæeren Betuel fra Paddan-Aram og Søster til Aramæeren Laban, til Hustru.
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21 Men Isak bad til HERREN for sin Hustru, thi hun var ufrugtbar; og HERREN bønhørte ham, og Rebekka, hans Hustru, blev frugtsommelig.
And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren. And Jehovah was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Men da Sønnerne brødes i hendes Liv, sagde hun: »Staar det saaledes til, hvorfor lever jeg da?« Og hun gik hen for at adspørge HERREN.
And the children struggled together within her. And she said, If it be so, why do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.
23 Da svarede HERREN hende: »To Folkeslag er i dit Liv, to Folk skal gaa ud af dit Skød! Det ene skal kue det andet, den ældste tjene den yngste!«
And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels. And the one people shall be stronger than the other people. And the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Da nu Tiden kom, at hun skulde føde, var der Tvillinger i hendes Liv.
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Den første kom frem rødlig og lodden som en Skindkappe over hele Kroppen; og de kaldte ham Esau.
And the first came forth red all over like a hairy garment, and they called his name Esau.
26 Derefter kom hans Broder frem med Haanden om Esaus Hæl; derfor kaldte de ham Jakob. Isak var tresindstyve Aar gammel, da de fødtes.
And after that his brother came forth, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel, and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 Drengene voksede til, og Esau blev en dygtig Jæger, der færdedes i Ødemarken, men Jakob en fredsommelig Mand, en Mand, som boede i Telt.
And the boys grew. And Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field. And Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
28 Isak holdt mest af Esau, thi han spiste gerne Vildt; men Rebekka holdt mest af Jakob.
Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison. And Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Jakob havde engang kogt en Ret Mad, da Esau udmattet kom hjem fra Marken.
And Jacob boiled pottage. And Esau came in from the field, and he was faint.
30 Da sagde Esau til Jakob: »Lad mig faa noget af det røde, det røde der, thi jeg er ved at dø af Sult!« Derfor kaldte de ham Edom.
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage, for I am faint. Therefore his name was called Edom.
31 Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sælge mig din Førstefødselsret!«
And Jacob said, First sell me thy birthright.
32 Esau svarede: »Jeg er jo lige ved at omkomme; hvad bryder jeg mig om min Førstefødselsret!«
And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die, and what profit shall the birthright do to me?
33 Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sværge mig det til!« Da svor Esau paa det og solgte sin Førstefødselsret til Jakob.
And Jacob said, Swear to me first. And he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Saa gav Jakob Esau Brød og kogte Linser, og da han havde spist og drukket, stod han op og gik sin Vej. Saaledes lod Esau haant om sin Førstefødselsret.
And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils. And he ate and drank, and rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
