Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Behold! I [am here].
Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham paa Prøve og sagde til ham: »Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
2 And he said, Take your son, the beloved one, whom you have loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
Da sagde han: »Tag din Søn Isak, din eneste, ham, du elsker, og drag hen til Morija Land og bring ham der som Brændoffer paa et af Bjergene, som jeg vil vise dig!«
3 And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole burnt offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
Da sadlede Abraham tidligt næste Morgen sit Æsel, tog to af sine Drenge og sin Søn Isak med sig, og efter at have kløvet Offerbrænde gav han sig paa Vandring; til det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham.
4 on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
Da Abraham den tredje Dag saa op, fik han Øje paa Stedet langt borte.
5 And Abraam said to his servants, Sit you here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.
Saa sagde Abraham til sine Drenge: »Bliv her med Æselet, medens jeg og Drengen vandrer derhen for at tilbede; saa kommer vi tilbage til eder.«
6 And Abraam took the wood of the whole burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.
Abraham tog da Brændet til Brændofferet og lagde det paa sin Søn Isak; selv tog han Ilden og Offerkniven, og saa gik de to sammen.
7 And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole burnt offering?
Da sagde Isak til sin Fader Abraham: »Fader!« Han svarede: »Ja, min Søn!« Da sagde han: »Her er Ilden og Brændet, men hvor er Dyret til Brændofferet?«
8 And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole burnt offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
Abraham svarede: »Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!« Og saa gik de to sammen.
9 came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Da de naaede det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham, byggede Abraham der et Alter og lagde Brændet til Rette; saa bandt han sin Søn Isak og lagde ham paa Alteret oven paa Brændet.
10 And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to kill his son.
Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Haanden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
11 And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
Da raabte HERRENS Engel til ham fra Himmelen: »Abraham, Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
12 And he said, Lay not your hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, and for my sake you have not spared your beloved son.
Da sagde Engelen: »Ræk ikke din Haand ud mod Drengen og gør ham ikke noget; thi nu ved jeg, at du frygter Gud og end ikke sparer din Søn, din eneste, for mig!«
13 And Abraam lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering in the place of Isaac his son.
Og da Abraham nu saa op, fik han bag ved sig Øje paa en Væder, hvis Horn havde viklet sig ind i de tætte Grene; og Abraham gik hen og tog Væderen og ofrede den som Brændoffer i sin Søns Sted.
14 And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord has seen; that they might say today, In the mount the Lord was seen.
Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HERREN udser sig, eller, som man nu til Dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HERREN viser sig.
15 And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and on my account have not spared your beloved son,
Men HERRENS Engel raabte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
16 surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and your seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
»Jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HERREN: Fordi du har gjort dette og ikke sparet din Søn, din eneste, for mig,
17 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice.
saa vil jeg velsigne dig og gøre dit Afkom talrigt som Himmelens Stjerner og Sandet ved Havets Bred; og dit Afkom skal tage sine Fjenders Porte i Besiddelse;
18 And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam lived at the well of the oath.
og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!«
19 And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor your brother,
Derpaa vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.
20 Uz the firstborn, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: »Ogsaa Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
21 Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,
22 these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;
23 And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka.«
