1 Mosebog 25
1 Abraham tog sig en Hustru, som hed Ketura;
And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:
2 og hun fødte ham Zimran, Joksjan, Medan, Midjan, Jisjbak og Sjua.
Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.
3 Joksjan avlede Saba og Dedan. Dedans Sønner var Assjuriterne, Letusjiterne og Le'ummiterne.
Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.
4 Midjans Sønner var Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida og Elda'a. Alle disse var Keturas Sønner.
But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.
5 Abraham gav Isak alt, hvad han ejede;
And Abraham gave all his possessions 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.
And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.
7 De Aar, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;
And the days of Abraham’s life were a hundred and 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 decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: 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 Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre;
10 den Mark, Abraham havde købt af Hetiterne; der jordedes Abraham og hans Hustru Sara.
Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.
11 Og da Abraham var død, velsignede Gud hans Søn Isak. Isak boede ved Be'er-lahaj-ro'i.
And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.
12 Dette er Abrahams Søn Ismaels Slægtebog, hvem Saras Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, fødte ham.
These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara’s servant, bore unto him:
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 his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.
14 Misjma, Duma, Massa,
And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisj og Kedma.
Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
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 Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes.
17 Ismaels Leveaar udgjorde 137; saa udaandede han; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt.
And the years of Ismael’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto 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 he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Dette er Abrahams Søn Isaks Slægtebog. Abraham avlede Isak.
These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: 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.
Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
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 besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
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.
But the children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord.
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 he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, 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 time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
25 Den første kom frem rødlig og lodden som en Skindkappe over hele Kroppen; og de kaldte ham Esau.
He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.
26 Derefter kom hans Broder frem med Haanden om Esaus Hæl; derfor kaldte de ham Jakob. Isak var tresindstyve Aar gammel, da de fødtes.
Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
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 when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
28 Isak holdt mest af Esau, thi han spiste gerne Vildt; men Rebekka holdt mest af Jakob.
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 Jakob havde engang kogt en Ret Mad, da Esau udmattet kom hjem fra Marken.
And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
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.
Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
31 Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sælge mig din Førstefødselsret!«
And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
32 Esau svarede: »Jeg er jo lige ved at omkomme; hvad bryder jeg mig om min Førstefødselsret!«
He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?
33 Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sværge mig det til!« Da svor Esau paa det og solgte sin Førstefødselsret til Jakob.
Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
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 so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.
