1 Mosebog 25

1 Abraham tog sig en Hustru, som hed Ketura;

And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

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

And she bare him 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 begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

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

And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 Abraham gav Isak alt, hvad han ejede;

And Abraham gave all that he had unto 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 unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

7 De År, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;

And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.

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

And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years]; 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,

And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

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

the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

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

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

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

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

13 Følgende er Navnene på Ismaels Sønner efter deres Navne og Slægter: Nebajot, Ismaels førstefødte, Kedar, Adbe'el, Mibsam,

and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and 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, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations.

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

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto 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 they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode in the presence of all his brethren.

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

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat 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 took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, 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.

And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife 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.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she 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 the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated even from thy bowels: And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger.

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

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

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

And the first came forth red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name 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 that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare 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 grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

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

Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.

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

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:

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, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

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

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

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

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall the birthright do 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, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto 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.

And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright.
