Genesis 27
1 And it came to pass when Isaac had become old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, that he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he said to him, Here am I.
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 now, I am become old; I know not the day of my death.
Og han sagde: Se nu, jeg er gammel og ved ikke min Dødsdag.
3 And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison,
Saa tag nu dine Redskaber, dit Kogger og din Bue, gak ud paa Marken og fang mig noget Vildt!
4 and prepare me a savoury dish such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, in order that my soul may bless thee 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 when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.
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 spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy 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 a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death.
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 And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.
Saa adlyd nu min Røst, min Søn! eftersom jeg befaler dig.
9 Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves.
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 thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.
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 Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am 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 My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bring a curse on me, 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] thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch [them].
Da sagde hans Moder til ham: Din Forbandelse komme over mig, min Søn! lyd kun min Røst og gak, hent mig dem!
14 And he went, and fetched and brought [them] to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as his father loved.
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 took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them 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 the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth 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 savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
Og hun gav ham den gode Ret og Brød, som hun havde tilberedt, i sin Søn Jakobs Haand.
18 And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my 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 am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy 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, How is it that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God put [it] in my way.
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, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be really 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 Isaac his father; 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 did not discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; 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, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I.
Og han sagde: Du, er du denne min Søn Esau? og han sagde: Jeg er det.
25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, that I may eat of my son's venison, in order 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 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 his father Isaac said to him, Come near, now, and kiss me, my son.
Og Isak, hans Fader, sagde til ham: Kære, kom nærmere og kys mig, min Søn!
27 And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath 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 God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and new wine.
Og Gud give dig af Himmelens Dug og af Jordens Fedme og meget Korn og Most.
29 Let peoples serve thee, And races bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be they that curse thee, And blessed be they that bless thee.
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 when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came 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 prepared savoury dishes, and he brought [them] in to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy 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 art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.
Da sagde Isak, hans Fader til ham: Hvo er du? og han sagde: Jeg er din Søn, din førstefødte, Esau.
33 Then Isaac trembled with exceeding great trembling, and said, Who was he, then, that hunted venison and brought [it] to me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him; also blessed he shall be.
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 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me — me also, my 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, Thy brother came with subtilty, and has taken away thy blessing.
Og han sagde: Din Broder kom med List og tog din Velsignelse.
36 And he said, Is it not therefore he was named Jacob, for he has supplanted me now twice? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
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, Behold, I have made him lord over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and with corn and new wine have I supplied him — and what can I do now for thee, my 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 thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me — me also, my father! And Esau lifted up his voice 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, thy 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 by thy sword shalt thou live; And thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy 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 hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, and I will slay 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 told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.
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 And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran;
Og nu, min Søn, hør min Røst og staa op, fly til Laban, min Broder, i Karan,
44 and abide with him some days, until thy brother's fury turn away —
og bliv hos ham nogen Tid, indtil din Broders Hidsighed lægger sig,
45 until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; then I will send and fetch thee thence. Why should I be bereaved even 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 Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good should my life do me?
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?
