Genesis 22
1 And it comes to pass after these things that God has tried Abraham and says to him, “Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham paa Prøve og sagde til ham: »Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
2 And He says, “Now take your son, your only one, whom you have loved, even Isaac, and go for yourself to the land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I speak to you.”
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 And Abraham rises early in the morning, and saddles his donkey, and takes two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac, and he cleaves the wood of the burnt-offering, and rises and goes to the place of which God has spoken to 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 On the third day—Abraham lifts up his eyes, and sees the place from afar;
Da Abraham den tredje Dag saa op, fik han Øje paa Stedet langt borte.
5 and Abraham says to his young men, “Remain by yourselves here with the donkey, and I and the youth go over there and worship, and 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 Abraham takes the wood of the burnt-offering, and places on his son Isaac, and he takes in his hand the fire, and the knife; and they go on both of them 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 And Isaac speaks to his father Abraham and says, “My father,” and he says, “Here I [am], my son.” And he says, “Behold, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb for a burnt-offering?”
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 says, “God provides for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son”; and they go on both of them together.
Abraham svarede: »Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!« Og saa gik de to sammen.
9 And they come to the place of which God has spoken to him, and there Abraham builds the altar, and arranges the wood, and binds his son Isaac, and places him on the altar above the 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 Abraham puts forth his hand, and takes the knife—to slaughter his son.
Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Haanden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
11 And the Messenger of YHWH calls to him from the heavens and says, “Abraham, Abraham”; and he says, “Here I [am]”;
Da raabte HERRENS Engel til ham fra Himmelen: »Abraham, Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
12 and He says, “Do not put forth your hand to the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that you are fearing God, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.”
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 And Abraham lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, a ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns; and Abraham goes, and takes the ram, and causes it to ascend for a burnt-offering 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 Abraham calls the name of that place “YHWH-Jireh,” because it is said this day in the mountain, “YHWH provides.”
Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HERREN udser sig, eller, som man nu til Dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HERREN viser sig.
15 And the Messenger of YHWH calls to Abraham a second time from the heavens,
Men HERRENS Engel raabte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
16 and says, “I have sworn by Myself—a declaration of YHWH—that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one,
»Jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HERREN: Fordi du har gjort dette og ikke sparet din Søn, din eneste, for mig,
17 that blessing I bless you, and multiplying I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which [is] on the seashore; and your Seed possesses the gate of His 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 all nations of the earth have blessed themselves in your Seed, because you have listened to My voice.”
og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!«
19 And Abraham turns back to his young men, and they rise and go together to Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwells in Beer-Sheba.
Derpaa vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.
20 And it comes to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah has borne, even she, sons to your brother Nahor:
Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: »Ogsaa Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
21 his firstborn Huz, and his brother Buz; and Kemuel father of Aram,
Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;
Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;
23 and Bethuel has begotten Rebekah”; Milcah has borne these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother;
Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
24 and his concubine, whose name [is] Reumah, she also has borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka.«
