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].
Og det hændte sig, der Isak blev gammel, og hans Øjne bleve dunkle, at han ikke kunde se, da kaldte han sin ældste Søn, Esau, og sagde til ham: Min Søn! og han sagde til ham: Se, her er jeg.
2 And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.
Og han sagde: Se nu, jeg er gammel og ved ikke min Dødsdag.
3 Now then take the weapons, both your quiver and your bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
Saa tag nu dine Redskaber, dit Kogger og din Bue, gak ud paa Marken og fang mig noget Vildt!
4 and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you, before I die.
Og tilbered mig en god Ret, saasom jeg har Lyst til, og bring mig den, at jeg maa æde, paa det min Sjæl maa velsigne dig, før jeg skal dø.
5 And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
Og Rebekka hørte, der Isak talede til Esau, sin Søn; saa gik Esau paa Marken at fange noget Vildt, at bære hjem.
6 And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying,
Da sagde Rebekka til Jakob, sin Søn, sigende: Se, jeg hørte din Fader tale til Esau, din Broder, og sige:
7 Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless you before the Lord before I die.
Hent mig noget Vildt og tilbered mig en god Ret, at jeg kan æde, saa vil jeg velsigne dig for Herrens Ansigt, førend jeg dør.
8 Now then, my son, listen to me, as I command you.
Saa adlyd nu min Røst, min Søn! eftersom jeg befaler dig.
9 And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for your father, as he likes.
Gak nu til Hjorden og hent mig derfra to gode Gedekid, at jeg kan tilberede din Fader en god Ret af dem, saasom han har Lyst til.
10 And you shall bring them in to your father, and he shall eat, that your father may bless you before he dies.
Og den skal du bære til din Fader, at han skal æde deraf, paa det han skal velsigne dig, førend han dør.
11 And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
Da sagde Jakob til Rebekka, sin Moder: Se, Esau, min Broder, er en laadden Mand, og jeg er en glat Mand.
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.
Maaske min Fader føler paa mig, og jeg vil synes for ham som en Bedrager og føre Forbandelse over mig og ikke Velsignelse.
13 And his mother said to him, On me be your curse, son; only listen to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
Da sagde hans Moder til ham: Din Forbandelse komme over mig, min Søn! lyd kun min Røst og gak, 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].
Da gik han og hentede og bragte sin Moder dem; saa tilberedte hans Moder en god Ret, saasom hans Fader havde Lyst til.
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.
Og Rebekka tog Esaus, sin ældste Søns, kostelige Klæder, som hun havde i Huset hos sig, og lod Jakob, sin yngste Søn, iføre sig dem.
16 And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
Men Skindene af Gedekiddene iførte hun ham om hans Hænder, og hvor han var glat paa Halsen.
17 And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
Og hun gav ham den gode Ret og Brød, som hun havde tilberedt, i sin Søn Jakobs Haand.
18 And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who are you, son?
Og han gik til sin Fader og sagde: Min Fader! og han sagde: Se, her er jeg; hvo er du, min Søn?
19 And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau your firstborn, have done as you told me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.
Og Jakob sagde til sin Fader: Jeg, Esau, din førstefødte, har gjort, saasom du sagde til mig; kære, staa op, sæt dig og æd af mit Vildt, paa det din Sjæl skal velsigne mig.
20 And Isaac said to his son, What is this which you have quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord your God presented before me.
Da sagde Isak til sin Søn: Hvorledes har du saa snart fundet det, min Søn? og han sagde: Fordi Herren din Gud skikkede mig det til Hænde.
21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel you, son, if you are my son Esau or not.
Da sagde Isak til Jakob: Kom dog nær hid, og jeg vil føle paa dig, min Søn! om du er min Søn Esau eller ej.
22 And Jacob drew near to his father Isaac, and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
Og Jakob gik nær til sin Fader Isak, og han følte paa ham og sagde: Røsten er Jakobs Røst, men Hænderne ere Esaus Hænder.
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, thi hans Hænder vare laadne som Esaus, hans Broders, Hænder; og han velsignede ham.
24 and he said, Are you my son Esau? and he said, I [am].
Og han sagde: Du, er du denne min Søn Esau? og han sagde: Jeg er det.
25 And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of your venison, son, that my soul may bless you; and he brought [it] near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Da sagde han: Bring mig det hid og lad mig æde af min Søns Vildt, at min Sjæl skal velsigne dig; saa bragte han ham det, og han aad, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak.
26 And Isaac his father said to him, Draw near to me, and kiss me, son.
Og Isak, hans Fader, sagde til ham: Kære, kom nærmere og kys mig, min Søn!
27 And he drew near 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 han kom nærmere og kyssede ham; og han lugtede Lugten af hans Klæder og velsignede ham og sagde: Se, min Søns Lugt er som Lugten af en Mark, hvilken Herren har velsignet.
28 And may God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.
Og Gud give dig af Himmelens Dug og af Jordens Fedme og meget Korn og Most.
29 And let nations serve you, and princes bow down to you, and be you lord of your brother, and the sons of your father shall do you reverence; accursed is he that curses you, and blessed is he that blesses you.
Folkene skulle tjene dig, og Folkefærd skulle falde dig til Fode. Bliv en Herre over dine Brødre, og din Moders Sønner skulle falde dig til Fode; hvo som forbander dig, være forbandet, og hvo som velsigner dig, være velsignet!
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.
Og det skete, der Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, da Jakob lige var gaaet ud fra sin Fader Isak, at Esau, hans Broder, kom fra sin Jagt.
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 your soul may bless me.
Og han tilberedte ogsaa en god Ret og bragte den ind til sin Fader og sagde til sin Fader: Min Fader staa op og æde af sin Søns Vildt, at din Sjæl skal velsigne mig.
32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your firstborn son Esau.
Da sagde Isak, hans Fader til ham: Hvo er du? og han sagde: Jeg er din Søn, din førstefødte, Esau.
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 you came, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
Da forfærdedes Isak med en overmaade stor Forfærdelse og sagde: Hvo er dog den, som fangede Vildt og frembar til mig? og jeg aad af alt, før du kom, og jeg har velsignet ham; og han skal ogsaa være 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 you, me also, father.
Der Esau hørte sin Faders Tale, da skreg han med et stort og overmaade bittert Skrig og sagde til sin Fader: Velsign mig, ogsaa mig, min Fader!
35 And he said to him, Your brother has come with subtlety, and taken your blessing.
Og han sagde: Din Broder kom med List og tog din Velsignelse.
36 And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for behold! 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 you not left a blessing for me, father?
Da sagde han: Mon man derfor har kaldet hans Navn Jakob, fordi han nu har to Gange bedraget mig? min Førstefødselsret har han taget, og se, nu tog han min Velsignelse; og han sagde: Har du ikke bevaret mig en Velsignelse?
37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him your lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for you, son?
Og Isak svarede og sagde til Esau: Se, jeg har sat ham til en Herre over dig og gjort alle hans Brødre til hans Tjenere og forsørget ham med Korn og Most, hvad skal jeg da gøre ved dig, min Søn?
38 And Esau said to his father, Hast you [only] one blessing, father? Bless, I pray you, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.
Og Esau sagde til sin Fader: Har du ikke uden denne ene Velsignelse, min Fader? velsign mig, ogsaa mig, min Fader! og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.
Da svarede Isak, hans Fader, og sagde til ham: Se, din Bolig skal være uden Jordens Fedme og uden Himmelens Dug fra oven ned.
40 And you shall live by your sword, and shall serve your brother; and there shall be [a time] when you shall break and loosen his yoke from off your neck.
Og ved dit Sværd skal du leve og tjene din Broder, og det skal ske, naar du bliver ustyrlig, da skal du bryde 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 near, that I may kill my brother Jacob.
Og Esau var Jakob hadsk for den Velsignelses Skyld, som hans Fader havde velsignet ham med, og Esau sagde i sit Hjerte: Det kommer snart, at vi skulle sørge for min Fader, da vil jeg slaa Jakob, min Broder, 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 your brother threatens you to kill you.
Og Esaus, hendes ældste Søns, Ord bleve Rebekka tilkendegivne; og hun sendte hen og lod Jakob, sin yngste Søn, kalde, og sagde til ham: Se, Esau, din Broder, vil trøste sig med at slaa dig ihjel.
43 Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
Og nu, min Søn, hør min Røst og staa op, fly til Laban, min Broder, i Karan,
44 And dwell with him certain days, until your brother's anger
og bliv hos ham nogen Tid, indtil din Broders Hidsighed lægger sig,
45 and rage depart from you, and he forget what you have done to him; and I will send and fetch you thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.
indtil din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer det, du har gjort ham, saa vil jeg sende Bud og hente dig derfra; hvi skulde jeg dog berøves eder begge paa en 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, therefore should I live?
Og Rebekka sagde til Isak: Jeg kedes ved at leve for Heths Døtres Skyld; dersom Jakob tog en Hustru af Heths Døtre, som disse af dette Lands Døtre, hvad skulde jeg da leve for?
