1 Mosebog 27
1 Da Isak var blevet gammel og hans Syn sløvet, så han ikke kunde se, kaldte han sin ældste Søn Esau til sig og sagde til ham: "Min Søn!" Han svarede: "Her er jeg!"
And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I [am here].
2 Da sagde han: "Se, jeg er nu gammel og ved ikke, hvad Dag Døden kommer
And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.
3 tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gå ud på Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt;
Now then take the weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
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!"
and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee, before I die.
5 Men Rebekka havde lyttet, medens Isak talte til sin Søn Esau, og da, Esau var gået ud på Marken for at skyde et Stykke Vildt til sin Fader,
And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
6 sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; "Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau:
And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,
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 Åsyn før min Død.
Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.
8 Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg pålægger dig:
Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.
9 Gå ud til Hjorden og hent mig to gode Gedekid; så laver jeg af dem en lækker Ret Mad til din Fader efter hans Smag;
And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for thy father, as he likes.
10 bring så den ind til din Fader, at han kan spise, for at han kan velsigne dig før sin Død!"
And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.
11 Men Jakob sagde til sin Moder Rebekka: "Se, min Broder Esau er håret, jeg derimod glat;
And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
12 sæt nu, at min Fader føler på mig, så står jeg for ham som en Bedrager og henter mig en Forbandelse og ingen Velsignelse!"
Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.
13 Men hans Moder svarede: "Den Forbandelse tager jeg på mig, min Søn, adlyd mig blot og gå hen og hent mig dem!"
And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
14 Så gik han hen og hentede dem og bragte sin Moder dem, og hun tillavede en lækker Ret Mad efter hans Faders Smag.
So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
15 Derpå tog Rebekka sin ældste Søn Esaus Festklæder, som hun havde hos sig i Huset, og gav sin yngste Søn Jakob dem på;
And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.
16 Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte på hans Hals,
And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
17 og så gav hun sin Søn Jakob Maden og Brødet, som hun havde tillavet.
And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
18 Så bragte han det ind til sin Fader og sagde: "Fader!" Han svarede: "Ja! Hvem er du, min Søn?"
And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who art thou, 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!"
And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy first-born, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 Men Isak sagde til sin Søn: "Hvor har du så hurtigt kunnet finde noget, min Søn?" Han svarede: "Jo, HERREN din Gud sendte mig det i Møde!"
And Isaac said to his son, What is this which thou hast quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord thy God presented before me.
21 Men Isak sagde til Jakob: "Kom hen til mig, min Søn, så jeg kan føle på dig, om du er min Søn Esau eller ej!"
And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.
22 Da trådte Jakob hen til sin Fader, og efter at have følt på ham sagde Isak: "Røsten er Jakobs, men Hænderne Esaus!"
And Jacob drew nigh to his father Isaac, and he felt 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 hårede som hans Broder Esaus. Så velsignede han ham.
And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,
24 Og han sagde: "Du er altså virkelig min Søn Esau?" Han svarede: "Ja, jeg er!"
and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I [am].
25 Da sagde han: "Bring mig det, at jeg kan spise af min Søns Vildt, for at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig!" Så bragte han ham det, og han spiste, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak.
And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of thy venison, son, that my soul may bless thee; and he brought [it] near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Derpå sagde hans Fader Isak til ham: "Kom hen til mig og kys mig, min Søn!"
And Isaac his father said to him, Draw nigh to me, and kiss me, son.
27 Og da, han kom hen til ham og kyssede ham, mærkede han Duften af hans Klæder. Så velsignede han ham og sagde: "Se, Duften af min Søn er som Duften af en Mark, HERREN har velsignet!
And he drew nigh and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.
28 Gud give dig af Himmelens Væde og Jordens Fedme, Korn og Most i Overflod!
And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.
29 Måtte 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!"
And let nations serve thee, and princes bow down to thee, and be thou lord of thy brother, and the sons of thy father shall do thee reverence; accursed is he that curses thee, and blessed is he that blesses thee.
30 Da Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, og lige som Jakob var gået fra sin Fader Isak, vendte hans Broder Esau hjem fra Jagten;
And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 også 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!"
And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32 Så sagde hans Fader Isak: "Hvem er du?" Og han svarede: "Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte!"
And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy first-born son 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!"
And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
34 Da Esau hørte sin Faders Ord: udstødte han et højt og hjerteskærende Skrig og sagde: "Velsign dog også mig, Fader!"
And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray thee, me also, father.
35 Men han sagde: "Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!"
And he said to him, Thy brother has come with subtlety, and taken thy 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 også taget min Velsignelse!" Og han sagde: "Har du ingen Velsignelse tilbage til mig?"
And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for lo! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast thou not left a blessing for me, father?
37 Men Isak svarede: "Se, jeg har sat ham til Hersker over dig, og alle hans Brødre har jeg gjort til hans Trælle, med Horn og Most. har jeg betænkt ham hvad kan jeg da gøre for dig, min Søn?"
And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for thee, son?
38 Da sagde Esau til sin Fader: "Har du kun den ene Velsignelse. Fader? Velsign også mig, Fader!" Og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd.
And Esau said to his father, Hast thou [only] one blessing, father? Bless, I pray thee, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.
39 Så 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;
And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.
40 af dit Sværd skal du leve, og din Broder skal du tjene; men når du samler din Kraft, skal du sprænge hans Åg af din Hals!"
And thou shalt live by thy sword, and shalt serve thy brother; and there shall be [a time] when thou shalt break and loosen his yoke from off thy neck.
41 Men Esau pønsede på 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, så vil jeg slå min Broder Jakob ihjel!"
And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw nigh, that I may slay 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 på dig og slå dig ihjel;
And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau thy brother threatens thee to kill thee.
43 adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan
Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
44 og bliv så hos ham en Tid, til din Broders Harme lægger sig,
And dwell with him certain days, until thy brother's anger
45 til din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer, hvad du har gjort ham; så skal jeg sende Bud og hente dig hjem. Hvorfor skal jeg miste eder begge på een Dag!"
and rage depart from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; and I will send and fetch thee thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.
46 Men Rebekka sagde til Isak: "Jeg er led ved Livet for Hets Døtres Skyld; hvis Jakob tager sig sådan en hetitisk Kvinde, en af Landets Døtre, til Hustru, hvad skal jeg da med Livet!"
And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, wherefore should I live?
