1 Mosebog 25
1 Abraham tog sig en Hustru, som hed Ketura;
Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
2 og hun fødte ham Zimran, Joksjan, Medan, Midjan, Jisjbak og Sjua.
and she bore him 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. And the sons 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. All these were 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, østpå til Østlandet.
But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
7 De År, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;
Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
8 så udåndede han. Og Abraham døde i en god Alderdom, gammel og mæt af Dage, og samledes til sin Slægt.
And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
9 Og hans Sønner Isak og Ismael jordede ham i Makpelas Klippehule på 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 of 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 that 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'erlahajro'i.
After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Dette er Abrahams Søn Ismaels Slægtebog, hvem Saras Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, fødte ham.
This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
13 Følgende er Navnene på Ismaels Sønner efter deres Navne og Slægter: Nebajot, Ismaels førstefødte, Kedar, Adbe'el, Mibsam,
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Misjma, Duma, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisj og Hedma.
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 were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
17 Ismaels Leveår udgjorde 137; så udåndede han; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt.
Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last 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.
Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
19 Dette er Abrahams Søn Isaks Slægtebog. Abraham avlede Isak.
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Isak var fyrretyve År 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 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.
Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
22 Men da Sønnerne brødes i hendes Liv, sagde hun: "Står det således til, hvorfor lever jeg da?" Og hun gik hen for at adspørge HERREN.
But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
23 Da svarede HERREN hende: "To Folkeslag er i dit Liv, to Folk skal gå ud af dit Skød! Det ene skal kue det andet, den ældste tjene den yngste!"
and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
24 Da nu Tiden kom, at hun skulde føde, var der Tvillinger i hendes Liv.
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
25 Den første kom frem rødlig og lodden som en Skindkappe over hele Kroppen; og de kaldte ham Esau.
The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
26 Derefter kom hans Broder frem med Hånden om Esaus Hæl; derfor kaldte de ham Jakob. Isak var tresindstyve År gammel, da de fødtes.
After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins 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.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
28 Isak holdt mest af Esau, thi han spiste gerne Vildt; men Rebekka holdt mest af Jakob.
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Jakob havde engang kogt en Ret Mad, da Esau udmattet kom hjem fra Marken.
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
30 Da sagde Esau til Jakob: "Lad mig få noget af det røde, det røde der, thi jeg er ved at dø af Sult!" Derfor kaldte de ham Edom.
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
31 Men Jakob sagde: "Du må først sælge mig din Førstefødselsret!"
“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
32 Esau svarede: "Jeg er jo lige ved at omkomme; hvad bryder jeg mig om min Førstefødselsret!"
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
33 Men Jakob sagde: "Du må først sværge mig det til!" Da svor Esau på det og solgte sin Førstefødselsret til Jakob.
“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
34 Så gav Jakob Esau Brød og kogte Linser, og da han havde spist og drukket, stod han op og gik sin Vej. Således lod Esau hånt om sin Førstefødselsret.
Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
