Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham på Prøve og sagde til ham: "Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
2 And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto 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 på et af Bjergene, som jeg vil vise dig!"
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named 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 på Vandring; til det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham.
4 It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Da Abraham den tredje Dag så. op, fik han Øje på Stedet langt borte.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto you.
Så sagde Abraham til sine Drenge: "Bliv her med Æselet, medens jeg og Drengen vandrer der. hen for at tilbede; så kommer vi tilbage til eder."
6 So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, both of them together.
Abraham tog da Brændet til Brændofferet og lagde, det på sin Søn Isak; selv tog han Ilden og Offerkniven, og så gik de to sammen.
7 Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
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 for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, together.
Abraham svarede: "Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!" Og så gik de to sammen.
9 Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.
Da de nåede det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham, byggede Abraham der et Alter og lagde Brændet til Rette; så bandt han sin Søn Isak og lagde ham på Alteret oven på Brændet.
10 And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Hånden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
11 Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
Da råbte HERRENs Engel til ham fra Himmelen: "Abraham, Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
12 Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.
Da sagde Engelen: "Ræk ikke din Hånd 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 lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead of his son.
Og da Abraham nu så op, fik han bag ved sig Øje på 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 So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HERREN udser sig, eller, som man nu til dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HERREN viser sig.
15 Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
Men HERRENs Engel råbte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
16 and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine 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 I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
så 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 So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!"
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
Derpå 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 came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, —Behold! Milcah—she also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: "Også Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —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, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka."
