1 Mosebog 25
1 Abraham tog sig en Hustru, som hed Ketura;
Abraham married another wife; her name was Keturah.
2 og hun fødte ham Zimran, Joksjan, Medan, Midjan, Jisjbak og Sjua.
She had the following sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Joksjan avlede Saba og Dedan. Dedans Sønner var Assjuriterne, Letusjiterne og Le'ummiterne.
Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
4 Midjans Sønner var Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida og Elda'a. Alle disse var Keturas Sønner.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Abraham gav Isak alt, hvad han ejede;
Abraham left everything he owned 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 while he was still alive, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them to live in the east, well away from Isaac.
7 De Aar, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;
Abraham lived to be 175
8 saa udaandede han. Og Abraham døde i en god Alderdom, gammel og mæt af Dage, og samledes til sin Slægt.
when he breathed his last and died at a good old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death.
9 Og hans Sønner Isak og Ismael jordede ham i Makpelas Klippehule paa Hetiten Efrons Zohars Søns, Mark over for Mamre,
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field that had belonged to Ephron, son of Zohar, the Hittite.
10 den Mark, Abraham havde købt af Hetiterne; der jordedes Abraham og hans Hustru Sara.
This was the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
11 Og da Abraham var død, velsignede Gud hans Søn Isak. Isak boede ved Be'er-lahaj-ro'i.
After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who was living near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Dette er Abrahams Søn Ismaels Slægtebog, hvem Saras Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, fødte ham.
This is the genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael. His mother Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian slave.
13 Følgende er Navnene paa Ismaels Sønner efter deres Navne og Slægter: Nebajot, Ismaels førstefødte, Kedar, Adbe'el, Mibsam,
These were the names of the sons of Ishmael according to their family genealogy: Nebaioth (firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Misjma, Duma, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisj og Kedma.
Hadad, 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 were the sons of Ishmael, and these became the names of the places where they lived and camped—the twelve family rulers of their tribes.
17 Ismaels Leveaar udgjorde 137; saa udaandede han; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt.
Ishmael lived to be 137. Then he breathed his last and died, and joined his forefathers in death.
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.
Ishmael's descendants inhabited the region from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. They were forever fighting with one other.
19 Dette er Abrahams Søn Isaks Slægtebog. Abraham avlede Isak.
The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of 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.
When Isaac was 40 he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Men Isak bad til HERREN for sin Hustru, thi hun var ufrugtbar; og HERREN bønhørte ham, og Rebekka, hans Hustru, blev frugtsommelig.
Isaac prayed to the Lord for help on behalf of his wife because she couldn't have children. The Lord answered his prayer and she became pregnant.
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.
The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”
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!«
“You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”
24 Da nu Tiden kom, at hun skulde føde, var der Tvillinger i hendes Liv.
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
25 Den første kom frem rødlig og lodden som en Skindkappe over hele Kroppen; og de kaldte ham Esau.
The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a coat. So they named him 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.
Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they were born.
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.
The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents.
28 Isak holdt mest af Esau, thi han spiste gerne Vildt; men Rebekka holdt mest af Jakob.
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Jakob havde engang kogt en Ret Mad, da Esau udmattet kom hjem fra Marken.
One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
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.
“Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)
31 Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sælge mig din Førstefødselsret!«
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
32 Esau svarede: »Jeg er jo lige ved at omkomme; hvad bryder jeg mig om min Førstefødselsret!«
“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sværge mig det til!« Da svor Esau paa det og solgte sin Førstefødselsret til Jakob.
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn 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.
Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son.
