Genesis 27
1 And it came to pass, when Isaac was old, and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
Da Isak var blevet gammel og hans Syn sløvet, saa han ikke kunde se, kaldte han sin ældste Søn Esau til sig og sagde til ham: »Min Søn!« Han svarede: »Her er jeg!«
2 And he said, Behold now, I am grown old, I know not the day of my death:
Da sagde han: »Se, jeg er nu gammel og ved ikke, hvad Dag Døden kommer;
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me some venison;
tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gaa ud paa Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt;
4 And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
lav mig en lækker Ret Mad efter min Smag og bring mig den, at jeg kan spise, før at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig, før jeg dør!«
5 And Rebekah heard as Isaac was speaking to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Men Rebekka havde lyttet, medens Isak talte til sin Søn Esau, og da, Esau var gaaet ud paa Marken for at skyde et Stykke Vildt til sin Fader,
6 And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; »Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau:
7 Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
Hent mig et Stykke Vildt og lav mig en lækker Ret Mad, at jeg kan spise, før at jeg kan velsigne dig for HERRENS Aasyn før min Død.
8 And now, my son, obey my voice in that which I command thee.
Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg paalægger dig:
9 Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me from there two good kids; and I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loveth:
Gaa ud til Hjorden og hent mig to gode Gedekid; saa laver jeg af dem en lækker Ret Mad til din Fader efter hans Smag;
10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat; for the sake that he may bless thee before his death.
bring saa den ind til din Fader, at han kan spise, for at han kan velsigne dig før sin Død!«
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
Men Jakob sagde til sin Moder Rebekka: »Se, min Broder Esau er haaret, jeg derimod glat;
12 Peradventure my father will feel me, and I shall then seem to him as a deceiver; and I would bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.
sæt nu, at min Fader føler paa mig, saa staar jeg for ham som en Bedrager og henter mig en Forbandelse og ingen Velsignelse!«
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son; only obey my voice, and go fetch them to me.
Men hans Moder svarede: »Den Forbandelse tager jeg paa mig, min Søn, adlyd mig blot og gaa hen og hent mig dem!«
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
Saa gik han hen og hentede dem og bragte sin Moder dem, og hun tillavede en lækker Ret Mad efter hans Faders Smag.
15 And Rebekah took the goodly garments of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and clothed therewith Jacob her younger son;
Derpaa tog Rebekka sin ældste Søn Esaus Festklæder, som hun havde hos sig i Huset, og gav sin yngste Søn Jakob dem paa;
16 And the skins of the kids she put upon his hands, and upon the smooth part of his neck;
Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte paa hans Hals,
17 And she gave the savory food and bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of Jacob her son.
og saa gav hun sin Søn Jakob Maden og Brødet, som hun havde tillavet.
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou my son?
Saa bragte han det ind til sin Fader og sagde: »Fader!« Han svarede: »Ja! Hvem er du, min Søn?«
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou didst speak to me: arise I pray thee, sit here and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Da svarede Jakob sin Fader: »Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte; jeg har gjort, som du bød mig; sæt dig nu op og spis af mit Vildt, for at din Sjæl kan velsigne mig!«
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it before me.
Men Isak sagde til sin Søn: »Hvor har du saa hurtigt kunnet finde noget, min Søn?« Han svarede: »Jo, HERREN din Gud sendte mig det i Møde!«
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be truly my son Esau or not.
Men Isak sagde til Jakob: »Kom hen til mig, min Søn, saa jeg kan føle paa dig, om du er min Søn Esau eller ej!«
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father, and he felt him; and he said, The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Da traadte Jakob hen til sin Fader, og efter at have følt paa ham sagde Isak: »Røsten er Jakobs, men Hænderne Esaus!«
23 And he recognized him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
Og han kendte ham ikke, fordi hans Hænder var haarede som hans Broder Esaus. Saa velsignede han ham.
24 And he said, Art thou indeed my son Esau? and he said I am.
Og han sagde: »Du er altsaa virkelig min Søn Esau?« Han svarede: »Ja, jeg er!«
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Da sagde han: »Bring mig det, at jeg kan spise af min Søns Vildt, for at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig!« Saa bragte han ham det, og han spiste, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak.
26 And Isaac his father said unto him, Come near, I pray thee, and kiss me, my son.
Derpaa sagde hans Fader Isak til ham: »Kom hen til mig og kys mig, min Søn!«
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is the smell of the field which the Lord hath blessed.
Og da, han kom hen til ham og kyssede ham, mærkede han Duften af hans Klæder. Saa velsignede han ham og sagde: »Se, Duften af min Søn er som Duften af en Mark, HERREN har velsignet!
28 And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine;
Gud give dig af Himmelens Væde og Jordens Fedme, Korn og Most i Overflod!
29 Nations shall serve thee, and people bow down to thee; be lord over thy brethren, and thy mother's sons shall bow down to thee; cursed be they that curse thee, and blessed be they that bless thee.
Maatte Folkeslag tjene dig og Folkefærd bøje sig til Jorden for dig! Bliv Hersker over dine Brødre, og din Moders Sønner bøje sig til Jorden for dig! Forbandet, hvo dig forbander; velsignet, hvo dig velsigner!«
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarcely gone out from the presence of his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Da Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, og lige som Jakob var gaaet fra sin Fader Isak, vendte hans Broder Esau hjem fra Jagten;
31 And he also made savory food, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
ogsaa han lavede en lækker Ret Mad, bragte den til sin Fader og sagde: »Vil min Fader sætte sig op og spise af sin Søns Vildt, for at din Sjæl kan velsigne mig!«
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy first-born, Esau.
Saa sagde hans Fader Isak: »Hvem er du?« Og han svarede: »Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte!«
33 And Isaac trembled greatly, exceedingly, and said, Who was it? where is he that had hunted venison, and brought it me, and I ate of all before thou camest, and blessed him? yea, he shall also remain blessed.
Da blev Isak højlig forfærdet og sagde: »Men hvem var da han, der bragte mig et Stykke Vildt, som han havde skudt? Og jeg spiste, før du kom, og jeg velsignede ham og nu er og bliver han velsignet!«
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he uttered a great and exceedingly bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, also me, my father.
Da Esau hørte sin Faders Ord: udstødte han et højt og hjerteskærende Skrig og sagde: »Velsign dog ogsaa mig, Fader!«
35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and took away thy blessing.
Men han sagde: »Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!«
36 And he said, Hath he been therefore named Jacob, because he hath supplanted me these two times? my right of first-born he took away; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing: and he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me.
Da sagde han: »Har man kaldt ham Jakob, fordi han skulde overliste mig? Nu har han gjort det to Gange: Han tog min Førstefødselsret, og nu har han ogsaa taget min Velsignelse!« Og han sagde: »Har du ingen Velsignelse tilbage til mig?«
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I endowed him: and what can I do now for thee, my son.
Men Isak svarede: »Se, jeg har sat ham til Hersker over dig, og alle hans Brødre har jeg gjort til hans Trælle, med Korn og Most har jeg betænkt ham hvad kan jeg da gøre for dig, min Søn?«
38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me, also me, my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Da sagde Esau til sin Fader: »Har du kun den ene Velsignelse. Fader? Velsign ogsaa mig, Fader!« Og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and [blessed] by the dew of heaven from above;
Saa tog hans Fader Isak til Orde og sagde til ham: »Se, fjern fra Jordens Fedme skal din Bolig være og fjern fra Himmelens Væde ovenfra;
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and thy brother shalt thou serve; and it shall come to pass, that when thou shalt have the dominion, thou canst break his yoke from off thy neck.
af dit Sværd skal du leve, og din Broder skal du tjene; men naar du samler din Kraft, skal du sprænge hans Aag af din Hals!«
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him; and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father will be at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
Men Esau pønsede paa ondt mod Jakob for den Velsignelse, hans Fader havde givet ham, og Esau sagde ved sig selv: »Der er ikke længe til, at vi skal holde Sorg over min Fader, saa vil jeg slaa min Broder Jakob ihjel!«
42 And Rebekah was informed of the words of Esau her elder son: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau doth comfort himself, with regard to thee, purposing to kill thee.
Da nu Rebekka fik Nys om sin ældste Søn Esaus Ord, sendte hun Bud efter sin yngste Søn Jakob og sagde til ham: »Din Broder Esau vil hævne sig paa dig og slaa dig ihjel;
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother, to Charan;
adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan
44 And tarry with him a short time, until thy brother's fury turn away;
og bliv saa hos ham en Tid, til din Broders Harme lægger sig,
45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then will I send, and fetch thee from there; why should I be deprived of both of you at once in one day?
til din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer, hvad du har gjort ham; saa skal jeg sende Bud og hente dig hjem. Hvorfor skal jeg miste eder begge paa een Dag!«
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife from the daughters of Heth, such as these, from the daughters of the land, what good will life do me?
Men Rebekka sagde til Isak: »Jeg er led ved Livet for Hets Døtres Skyld; hvis Jakob tager sig saadan en hetitisk Kvinde, en af Landets Døtre, til Hustru, hvad skal jeg da med Livet!«
