1 Mosebog 25

1 Abraham tog sig en Hustru, som hed Ketura;

And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

2 og hun fødte ham Zimran, Joksjan, Medan, Midjan, Jisjbak og Sjua.

She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.

3 Joksjan avlede Saba og Dedan. Dedans Sønner var Assjuriterne, Letusjiterne og Le'ummiterne.

And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

4 Midjans Sønner var Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida og Elda'a. Alle disse var Keturas Sønner.

And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.

5 Abraham gav Isak alt, hvad han ejede;

Now Abraham gave all his property 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 to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.

7 De År, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;

Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.

8 så udåndede han. Og Abraham døde i en god Alderdom, gammel og mæt af Dage, og samledes til sin Slægt.

And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.

9 Og hans Sønner Isak og Ismael jordede ham i Makpelas Klippehule på Hetiten Efrons Zohars Søns, Mark over for Mamre,

And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;

10 den Mark, Abraham havde købt af Hetiterne; der jordedes Abraham og hans Hustru Sara.

The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.

11 Og da Abraham var død, velsignede Gud hans Søn Isak. Isak boede ved Be'erlahajro'i.

Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.

12 Dette er Abrahams Søn Ismaels Slægtebog, hvem Saras Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, fødte ham.

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:

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 by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam

14 Misjma, Duma, Massa,

And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,

15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisj og Hedma.

Hadad and 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 are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.

17 Ismaels Leveår udgjorde 137; så udåndede han; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt.

And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with 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 their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.

19 Dette er Abrahams Søn Isaks Slægtebog. Abraham avlede Isak.

Now these are the generations of Abraham's son 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.

Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.

21 Men Isak bad til HERREN for sin Hustru, thi hun var ufrugtbar; og HERREN bønhørte ham, og Rebekka, hans Hustru, blev frugtsommelig.

Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.

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.

And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to 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 the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.

24 Da nu Tiden kom, at hun skulde føde, var der Tvillinger i hendes Liv.

And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.

25 Den første kom frem rødlig og lodden som en Skindkappe over hele Kroppen; og de kaldte ham Esau.

And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of 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.

And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

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 the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

28 Isak holdt mest af Esau, thi han spiste gerne Vildt; men Rebekka holdt mest af Jakob.

Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.

29 Jakob havde engang kogt en Ret Mad, da Esau udmattet kom hjem fra Marken.

And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;

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.

And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.

31 Men Jakob sagde: "Du må først sælge mig din Førstefødselsret!"

And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.

32 Esau svarede: "Jeg er jo lige ved at omkomme; hvad bryder jeg mig om min Førstefødselsret!"

And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the 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.

And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.

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 him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
