Genesis 22
1 After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham paa Prøve og sagde til ham: »Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
2 He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision: and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will show thee.
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 So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass: and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust he went his way to the place which God had commanded 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 And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off.
Da Abraham den tredje Dag saa op, fik han Øje paa Stedet langt borte.
5 And he said to his young men: Stay you here with the ass: I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder, and after we have worshipped, 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 he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son: and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on 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 Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust?
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 Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together.
Abraham svarede: »Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!« Og saa gik de to sammen.
9 And they came to the place which God had shown him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it: and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of 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 he put forth his hand and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.
Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Haanden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
11 And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
Da raabte HERRENS Engel til ham fra Himmelen: »Abraham, Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
12 And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.
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 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram amongst the briers sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of 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 he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon even to this day it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see.
Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HERREN udser sig, eller, som man nu til Dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HERREN viser sig.
15 And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
Men HERRENS Engel raabte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
16 By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake:
»Jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HERREN: Fordi du har gjort dette og ikke sparet din Søn, din eneste, for mig,
17 I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.
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 in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!«
19 Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.
Derpaa vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.
20 After these things, it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.
Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: »Ogsaa Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
21 Hus the firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,
Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,
22 And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,
Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;
23 And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham’s brother.
Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
24 And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha.
og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka.«
