Genesis 27
1 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].
Da Isak var blevet gammel og hans Syn sløvet, saa han ikke kunde se, kaldte han sin ældste Søn Esau til sig og sagde til ham: »Min Søn!« Han svarede: »Her er jeg!«
2 And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.
Da sagde han: »Se, jeg er nu gammel og ved ikke, hvad Dag Døden kommer;
3 Now then take the weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gaa ud paa Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt;
4 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.
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!«
5 And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
Men Rebekka havde lyttet, medens Isak talte til sin Søn Esau, og da, Esau var gaaet ud paa Marken for at skyde et Stykke Vildt til sin Fader,
6 And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,
sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; »Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau:
7 Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.
Hent mig et Stykke Vildt og lav mig en lækker Ret Mad, at jeg kan spise, før at jeg kan velsigne dig for HERRENS Aasyn før min Død.
8 Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.
Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg paalægger dig:
9 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.
Gaa ud til Hjorden og hent mig to gode Gedekid; saa laver jeg af dem en lækker Ret Mad til din Fader efter hans Smag;
10 And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.
bring saa den ind til din Fader, at han kan spise, for at han kan velsigne dig før sin Død!«
11 And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
Men Jakob sagde til sin Moder Rebekka: »Se, min Broder Esau er haaret, jeg derimod glat;
12 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.
sæt nu, at min Fader føler paa mig, saa staar jeg for ham som en Bedrager og henter mig en Forbandelse og ingen Velsignelse!«
13 And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
Men hans Moder svarede: »Den Forbandelse tager jeg paa mig, min Søn, adlyd mig blot og gaa hen og hent mig dem!«
14 So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
Saa gik han hen og hentede dem og bragte sin Moder dem, og hun tillavede en lækker Ret Mad efter hans Faders Smag.
15 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.
Derpaa tog Rebekka sin ældste Søn Esaus Festklæder, som hun havde hos sig i Huset, og gav sin yngste Søn Jakob dem paa;
16 And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte paa hans Hals,
17 And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
og saa gav hun sin Søn Jakob Maden og Brødet, som hun havde tillavet.
18 And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who art thou, son?
Saa bragte han det ind til sin Fader og sagde: »Fader!« Han svarede: »Ja! Hvem er du, min Søn?«
19 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.
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!«
20 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.
Men Isak sagde til sin Søn: »Hvor har du saa hurtigt kunnet finde noget, min Søn?« Han svarede: »Jo, HERREN din Gud sendte mig det i Møde!«
21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.
Men Isak sagde til Jakob: »Kom hen til mig, min Søn, saa jeg kan føle paa dig, om du er min Søn Esau eller ej!«
22 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.
Da traadte Jakob hen til sin Fader, og efter at have følt paa ham sagde Isak: »Røsten er Jakobs, men Hænderne Esaus!«
23 And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,
Og han kendte ham ikke, fordi hans Hænder var haarede som hans Broder Esaus. Saa velsignede han ham.
24 and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I [am].
Og han sagde: »Du er altsaa virkelig min Søn Esau?« Han svarede: »Ja, jeg er!«
25 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.
Da sagde han: »Bring mig det, at jeg kan spise af min Søns Vildt, for at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig!« Saa bragte han ham det, og han spiste, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak.
26 And Isaac his father said to him, Draw nigh to me, and kiss me, son.
Derpaa sagde hans Fader Isak til ham: »Kom hen til mig og kys mig, min Søn!«
27 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.
Og da, han kom hen til ham og kyssede ham, mærkede han Duften af hans Klæder. Saa velsignede han ham og sagde: »Se, Duften af min Søn er som Duften af en Mark, HERREN har velsignet!
28 And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.
Gud give dig af Himmelens Væde og Jordens Fedme, Korn og Most i Overflod!
29 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.
Maatte 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!«
30 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.
Da Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, og lige som Jakob var gaaet fra sin Fader Isak, vendte hans Broder Esau hjem fra Jagten;
31 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.
ogsaa 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!«
32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy first-born son Esau.
Saa sagde hans Fader Isak: »Hvem er du?« Og han svarede: »Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte!«
33 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.
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!«
34 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.
Da Esau hørte sin Faders Ord: udstødte han et højt og hjerteskærende Skrig og sagde: »Velsign dog ogsaa mig, Fader!«
35 And he said to him, Thy brother has come with subtlety, and taken thy blessing.
Men han sagde: »Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!«
36 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?
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 ogsaa taget min Velsignelse!« Og han sagde: »Har du ingen Velsignelse tilbage til mig?«
37 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?
Men Isak svarede: »Se, jeg har sat ham til Hersker over dig, og alle hans Brødre har jeg gjort til hans Trælle, med Korn og Most har jeg betænkt ham hvad kan jeg da gøre for dig, min Søn?«
38 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.
Da sagde Esau til sin Fader: »Har du kun den ene Velsignelse. Fader? Velsign ogsaa mig, Fader!« Og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd.
39 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.
Saa 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;
40 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.
af dit Sværd skal du leve, og din Broder skal du tjene; men naar du samler din Kraft, skal du sprænge hans Aag af din Hals!«
41 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.
Men Esau pønsede paa 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, saa vil jeg slaa min Broder Jakob ihjel!«
42 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.
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 paa dig og slaa dig ihjel;
43 Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan
44 And dwell with him certain days, until thy brother's anger
og bliv saa hos ham en Tid, til din Broders Harme lægger sig,
45 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.
til din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer, hvad du har gjort ham; saa skal jeg sende Bud og hente dig hjem. Hvorfor skal jeg miste eder begge paa een Dag!«
46 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?
Men Rebekka sagde til Isak: »Jeg er led ved Livet for Hets Døtres Skyld; hvis Jakob tager sig saadan en hetitisk Kvinde, en af Landets Døtre, til Hustru, hvad skal jeg da med Livet!«
