Genesis 25
1 Then Abraham took again a wife, and her name was Keturah.
Abraham tog sig en Hustru, som hed Ketura;
2 And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Yishbak, and Shuach.
og hun fødte ham Zimran, Joksjan, Medan, Midjan, Jisjbak og Sjua.
3 And Yokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Joksjan avlede Saba og Dedan. Dedans Sønner var Assjuriterne, Letusjiterne og Le'ummiterne.
4 And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Chanoch, and Abida', and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Midjans Sønner var Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida og Elda'a. Alle disse var Keturas Sønner.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
Abraham gav Isak alt, hvad han ejede;
6 But unto the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was yet living, eastward, unto the east country.
men de Sønner, Abraham havde med sine Medhustruer, skænkede han Gaver og sendte dem, medens han endnu levede, bort fra sin Søn Isak, østpå til Østlandet.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, one hundred seventy and five years.
De År, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;
8 Then Abraham departed this life, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
så udåndede han. Og Abraham døde i en god Alderdom, gammel og mæt af Dage, og samledes til sin Slægt.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zochar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
Og hans Sønner Isak og Ismael jordede ham i Makpelas Klippehule på Hetiten Efrons Zohars Søns, Mark over for Mamre,
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, with Sarah his wife.
den Mark, Abraham havde købt af Hetiterne; der jordedes Abraham og hans Hustru Sara.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lachai-roi.
Og da Abraham var død, velsignede Gud hans Søn Isak. Isak boede ved Be'erlahajro'i.
12 Now theses are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham.
Dette er Abrahams Søn Ismaels Slægtebog, hvem Saras Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, fødte ham.
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebayoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Følgende er Navnene på Ismaels Sønner efter deres Navne og Slægter: Nebajot, Ismaels førstefødte, Kedar, Adbe'el, Mibsam,
14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Misjma, Duma, Massa,
15 Chadad, and Tema, Yetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisj og Hedma.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
Det var Ismaels Sønner, og det var deres Navne i deres Indhegninger og Teltlejre, tolv Høvdinger med deres Stammer.
17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred and thirty and seven years: and he departed this life and died; and was gathered unto his people.
Ismaels Leveår udgjorde 137; så udåndede han; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt.
18 And they dwelt from Chavilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.
De havde deres Boliger fra Havila til Sjur over for Ægypten hen ad Assjur til. Lige for Øjnene af alle sine Brødre slog han sig ned.
19 And these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac.
Dette er Abrahams Søn Isaks Slægtebog. Abraham avlede Isak.
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian, to himself as wife.
Isak var fyrretyve År gammel, da han tog Rebekka, en Datter af Aramæeren Betuel fra Paddan Aram og Søster til Aramæeren Laban, til Hustru.
21 And Isaac entreated the Lord in behalf of his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Men Isak bad til HERREN for sin Hustru, thi hun var ufrugtbar; og HERREN bønhørte ham, og Rebekka, hans Hustru, blev frugtsommelig.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why did I desire this? And she went to inquire of the Lord.
Men da Sønnerne brødes i hendes Liv, sagde hun: "Står det således til, hvorfor lever jeg da?" Og hun gik hen for at adspørge HERREN.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
Da svarede HERREN hende: "To Folkeslag er i dit Liv, to Folk skal gå ud af dit Skød! Det ene skal kue det andet, den ældste tjene den yngste!"
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Da nu Tiden kom, at hun skulde føde, var der Tvillinger i hendes Liv.
25 And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Den første kom frem rødlig og lodden som en Skindkappe over hele Kroppen; og de kaldte ham Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, his hand holding on to Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
Derefter kom hans Broder frem med Hånden om Esaus Hæl; derfor kaldte de ham Jakob. Isak var tresindstyve År gammel, da de fødtes.
27 And the boys grew up: and Esau was an expert hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
Drengene voksede til, og Esau blev en dygtig Jæger, der færdedes i Ødemarken, men Jakob en fredsommelig Mand, en Mand, som boede i Telt.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Isak holdt mest af Esau, thi han spiste gerne Vildt; men Rebekka holdt mest af Jakob.
29 And Jacob at one time boiled pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.
Jakob havde engang kogt en Ret Mad, da Esau udmattet kom hjem fra Marken.
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Let me swallow down, I pray thee, some of that yonder red pottage, for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom.
Da sagde Esau til Jakob: "Lad mig få noget af det røde, det røde der, thi jeg er ved at dø af Sult!" Derfor kaldte de ham Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy right of first-born.
Men Jakob sagde: "Du må først sælge mig din Førstefødselsret!"
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; and what profit then can the right of first-born be to me?
Esau svarede: "Jeg er jo lige ved at omkomme; hvad bryder jeg mig om min Førstefødselsret!"
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him, and he sold his right of first-born unto Jacob.
Men Jakob sagde: "Du må først sværge mig det til!" Da svor Esau på det og solgte sin Førstefødselsret til Jakob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he did eat and drink, and he rose up, and went his way; thus Esau despised the birthright.
Så gav Jakob Esau Brød og kogte Linser, og da han havde spist og drukket, stod han op og gik sin Vej. Således lod Esau hånt om sin Førstefødselsret.
