1 Mosebog 22
1 Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham på Prøve og sagde til ham: "Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
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 på et af Bjergene, som jeg vil vise dig!"
He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to 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 på Vandring; til det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham.
And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
4 Da Abraham den tredje Dag så. op, fik han Øje på Stedet langt borte.
Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
5 Så sagde Abraham til sine Drenge: "Bliv her med Æselet, medens jeg og Drengen vandrer der. hen for at tilbede; så kommer vi tilbage til eder."
And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
6 Abraham tog da Brændet til Brændofferet og lagde, det på sin Søn Isak; selv tog han Ilden og Offerkniven, og så gik de to sammen.
He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued 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?"
Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
8 Abraham svarede: "Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!" Og så gik de to sammen.
But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
9 Da de nåede det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham, byggede Abraham der et Alter og lagde Brændet til Rette; så bandt han sin Søn Isak og lagde ham på Alteret oven på Brændet.
And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Hånden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
11 Da råbte HERRENs Engel til ham fra Himmelen: "Abraham, Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
12 Da sagde Engelen: "Ræk ikke din Hånd 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!"
And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
13 Og da Abraham nu så op, fik han bag ved sig Øje på 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.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead 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 he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
15 Men HERRENs Engel råbte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 "Jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HERREN: Fordi du har gjort dette og ikke sparet din Søn, din eneste, for mig,
“By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
17 så 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 bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!"
And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
19 Derpå vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.
Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
20 Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: "Også Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
21 Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,
Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;
and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
23 Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
24 og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka."
In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
