1 Mosebog 27
1 Da Isak var blevet gammel og hans Syn sløvet, saa han ikke kunde se, kaldte han sin ældste Søn Esau til sig og sagde til ham: »Min Søn!« Han svarede: »Her er jeg!«
When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau, his older son, and said to him, “My son.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 Da sagde han: »Se, jeg er nu gammel og ved ikke, hvad Dag Døden kommer;
He said, “See here, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
3 tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gaa ud paa Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt;
Therefore take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
4 lav mig en lækker Ret Mad efter min Smag og bring mig den, at jeg kan spise, før at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig, før jeg dør!«
Make delicious food for me, the sort that I love, and bring it to me so I can eat it and bless you before I die.”
5 Men Rebekka havde lyttet, medens Isak talte til sin Søn Esau, og da, Esau var gaaet ud paa Marken for at skyde et Stykke Vildt til sin Fader,
Now Rebekah heard it when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it back.
6 sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; »Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau:
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son and said, “See here, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother. He said,
7 Hent mig et Stykke Vildt og lav mig en lækker Ret Mad, at jeg kan spise, før at jeg kan velsigne dig for HERRENS Aasyn før min Død.
'Bring me game and make me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of Yahweh before my death.'
8 Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg paalægger dig:
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you.
9 Gaa ud til Hjorden og hent mig to gode Gedekid; saa laver jeg af dem en lækker Ret Mad til din Fader efter hans Smag;
Go to the flock, and bring me two good young goats; and I will make delicious food from them for your father, just like he loves.
10 bring saa den ind til din Fader, at han kan spise, for at han kan velsigne dig før sin Død!«
You will take it to your father, so that he may eat it, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11 Men Jakob sagde til sin Moder Rebekka: »Se, min Broder Esau er haaret, jeg derimod glat;
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “See, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 sæt nu, at min Fader føler paa mig, saa staar jeg for ham som en Bedrager og henter mig en Forbandelse og ingen Velsignelse!«
Perhaps my father will touch me, and I will seem to him as a deceiver. I will bring a curse upon me and not a blessing.”
13 Men hans Moder svarede: »Den Forbandelse tager jeg paa mig, min Søn, adlyd mig blot og gaa hen og hent mig dem!«
His mother said to him, “My son, let any curse fall on me. Just obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.”
14 Saa gik han hen og hentede dem og bragte sin Moder dem, og hun tillavede en lækker Ret Mad efter hans Faders Smag.
So Jacob went and got the young goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made delicious food, just like his father loved.
15 Derpaa tog Rebekka sin ældste Søn Esaus Festklæder, som hun havde hos sig i Huset, og gav sin yngste Søn Jakob dem paa;
Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau, her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16 Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte paa hans Hals,
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 og saa gav hun sin Søn Jakob Maden og Brødet, som hun havde tillavet.
She put the delicious food and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Saa bragte han det ind til sin Fader og sagde: »Fader!« Han svarede: »Ja! Hvem er du, min Søn?«
Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” He said, “Here I am; who are you, my son?”
19 Da svarede Jakob sin Fader: »Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte; jeg har gjort, som du bød mig; sæt dig nu op og spis af mit Vildt, for at din Sjæl kan velsigne mig!«
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you said to me. Now sit up and eat some of my game, that you may bless me.”
20 Men Isak sagde til sin Søn: »Hvor har du saa hurtigt kunnet finde noget, min Søn?« Han svarede: »Jo, HERREN din Gud sendte mig det i Møde!«
Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Yahweh your God brought it to me.”
21 Men Isak sagde til Jakob: »Kom hen til mig, min Søn, saa jeg kan føle paa dig, om du er min Søn Esau eller ej!«
Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near me, so I may touch you, my son, and learn whether you are my true son Esau or not.”
22 Da traadte Jakob hen til sin Fader, og efter at have følt paa ham sagde Isak: »Røsten er Jakobs, men Hænderne Esaus!«
Jacob went over to Isaac his father; and Isaac touched him and said, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Og han kendte ham ikke, fordi hans Hænder var haarede som hans Broder Esaus. Saa velsignede han ham.
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's hands, so Isaac blessed him.
24 Og han sagde: »Du er altsaa virkelig min Søn Esau?« Han svarede: »Ja, jeg er!«
He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He replied, “I am.”
25 Da sagde han: »Bring mig det, at jeg kan spise af min Søns Vildt, for at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig!« Saa bragte han ham det, og han spiste, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak.
Isaac said, “Bring the food to me, and I will eat of your game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought the food to him. Isaac ate, and Jacob brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Derpaa sagde hans Fader Isak til ham: »Kom hen til mig og kys mig, min Søn!«
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”
27 Og da, han kom hen til ham og kyssede ham, mærkede han Duften af hans Klæder. Saa velsignede han ham og sagde: »Se, Duften af min Søn er som Duften af en Mark, HERREN har velsignet!
Jacob came near and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his clothes and blessed him. He said, “See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed.
28 Gud give dig af Himmelens Væde og Jordens Fedme, Korn og Most i Overflod!
May God give you a portion of the dew of heaven, a portion of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 Maatte Folkeslag tjene dig og Folkefærd bøje sig til Jorden for dig! Bliv Hersker over dine Brødre, og din Moders Sønner bøje sig til Jorden for dig! Forbandet, hvo dig forbander; velsignet, hvo dig velsigner!«
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. Be master over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. May every one who curses you be cursed; may every one who blesses you be blessed.”
30 Da Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, og lige som Jakob var gaaet fra sin Fader Isak, vendte hans Broder Esau hjem fra Jagten;
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 ogsaa han lavede en lækker Ret Mad, bragte den til sin Fader og sagde: »Vil min Fader sætte sig op og spise af sin Søns Vildt, for at din Sjæl kan velsigne mig!«
He also made delicious food and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Father, get up and eat some of your son's game, so that you may bless me.”
32 Saa sagde hans Fader Isak: »Hvem er du?« Og han svarede: »Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte!«
Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 Da blev Isak højlig forfærdet og sagde: »Men hvem var da han, der bragte mig et Stykke Vildt, som han havde skudt? Og jeg spiste, før du kom, og jeg velsignede ham og nu er og bliver han velsignet!«
Isaac trembled very much and said, “Who was it that hunted this game and brought it to me? I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him. Indeed, he will be blessed.”
34 Da Esau hørte sin Faders Ord: udstødte han et højt og hjerteskærende Skrig og sagde: »Velsign dog ogsaa mig, Fader!«
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a very great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, me also, my father.”
35 Men han sagde: »Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!«
Isaac said, “Your brother came here deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.”
36 Da sagde han: »Har man kaldt ham Jakob, fordi han skulde overliste mig? Nu har han gjort det to Gange: Han tog min Førstefødselsret, og nu har han ogsaa taget min Velsignelse!« Og han sagde: »Har du ingen Velsignelse tilbage til mig?«
Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and, see, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
37 Men Isak svarede: »Se, jeg har sat ham til Hersker over dig, og alle hans Brødre har jeg gjort til hans Trælle, med Korn og Most har jeg betænkt ham hvad kan jeg da gøre for dig, min Søn?«
Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Look, I have made him your master, and I have given to him all his brothers as servants, and I have given him grain and new wine. What more can I do for you, my son?”
38 Da sagde Esau til sin Fader: »Har du kun den ene Velsignelse. Fader? Velsign ogsaa mig, Fader!« Og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd.
Esau said to his father, “Have you not even one blessing for me, my father? Bless me, even me too, my father.” Esau wept loudly.
39 Saa tog hans Fader Isak til Orde og sagde til ham: »Se, fjern fra Jordens Fedme skal din Bolig være og fjern fra Himmelens Væde ovenfra;
Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Look, the place where you live will be far from the richness of the earth, away from the dew of the sky above.
40 af dit Sværd skal du leve, og din Broder skal du tjene; men naar du samler din Kraft, skal du sprænge hans Aag af din Hals!«
By your sword you will live, and you will serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
41 Men Esau pønsede paa ondt mod Jakob for den Velsignelse, hans Fader havde givet ham, og Esau sagde ved sig selv: »Der er ikke længe til, at vi skal holde Sorg over min Fader, saa vil jeg slaa min Broder Jakob ihjel!«
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing that his father had given him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are near; after that I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Da nu Rebekka fik Nys om sin ældste Søn Esaus Ord, sendte hun Bud efter sin yngste Søn Jakob og sagde til ham: »Din Broder Esau vil hævne sig paa dig og slaa dig ihjel;
The words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, “See, your brother Esau is consoling himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan
Now therefore, my son, obey me and flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 og bliv saa hos ham en Tid, til din Broders Harme lægger sig,
Stay with him for a while, until your brother's fury subsides,
45 til din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer, hvad du har gjort ham; saa skal jeg sende Bud og hente dig hjem. Hvorfor skal jeg miste eder begge paa een Dag!«
until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you back from there. Why should I lose you both in one day?
46 Men Rebekka sagde til Isak: »Jeg er led ved Livet for Hets Døtres Skyld; hvis Jakob tager sig saadan en hetitisk Kvinde, en af Landets Døtre, til Hustru, hvad skal jeg da med Livet!«
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes one of the daughters of Heth as a wife, like these women, some of the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
