Genesis 27
1 And it came to pass that Isaac, was old, and his eyes became too dim to see, so he called Esau his elder son and said unto him My son! And he said unto him, Behold me!
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, I pray thee, I am 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 catch for me game;
tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gaa ud paa Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt;
4 and make for me dainty meats, such as I love and bring in to me, that I may eat, —To the end my soul may bless thee, ere yet 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 Now, Rebekah, was hearkening, when Isaac spake unto Esau his son, and Esau went his way to the field, to catch game, to bring in.
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 Rebekah, therefore spake unto Jacob her son saying, —Lo! I heard thy father, speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; »Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau:
7 Bring in for me game and make for me dainty meats, that I may eat; and let me bless thee in the presence of Yahweh 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 Now, therefore my son, hearken unto my voice, —in that which I am commanding thee:
Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg paalægger dig:
9 Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and fetch me from thence two kids of the goats, fine ones, —that I may make of them dainty meats 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 Then shalt thou take them in unto thy father and he shall eat, —To the end 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 unto Rebekah his mother, Lo! Esau my brother, is a hairy man, whereas, 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 might feel me, then should I be in his eyes as one that mocketh, —and should bring upon myself a reproach, 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 to him, Upon me, be thy reproach my son, —only hearken unto my voice and go fetch [them] for me.
Men hans Moder svarede: »Den Forbandelse tager jeg paa mig, min Søn, adlyd mig blot og gaa hen og hent mig dem!«
14 So he went, and fetched [them], and brought them in to his mother, and his mother made dainty meats, 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 Then took Rebekah the garments of Esau her elder son, the costly ones, which were with her in the house, —and put them on 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 of the goats, put she upon his hands, —and on the smooth part of his neck;
Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte paa hans Hals,
17 then placed she the dainty meats and the bread, which she had made ready, in the hand of Jacob her son.
og saa gav hun sin Søn Jakob Maden og Brødet, som hun havde tillavet.
18 So he went in unto his father, and said My father! And he said Behold me! 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 firstborn, I have made ready, as thou didst bid me. Rise, I pray thee, sit up, and eat thou of my game, To the end 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 Then said Isaac unto his son. How is it thou hast been so quick in finding, my son? And he said, Because Yahweh thy God caused it so to fall out 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 Then said Isaac unto Jacob. Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee my son—whether, thou thyself, art 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 So Jacob came near unto Isaac his father, and he felt him; then said he 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 So he did not find him out, because, his hands were like the hands of Esau his brother hairy, —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, Thou thyself, art my son Esau? And he said, I am!
Og han sagde: »Du er altsaa virkelig min Søn Esau?« Han svarede: »Ja, jeg er!«
25 So he said, Bring it near to me., that I may eat of the game of my son, To the end my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat, and he brought in to 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 Then Isaac his father said unto him, —Come thou 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 So 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, As the smell of a field, which Yahweh 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 Then, may God give thee of the dew of the heavens, And of the fatness of the earth, —And abundance of corn and new wine:
Gud give dig af Himmelens Væde og Jordens Fedme, Korn og Most i Overflod!
29 Let peoples serve thee And races bow down to thee, Become thou lord to thy brethren, And let the sons of thy mother bow down to thee, —He that curseth thee, be accursed! And he that blesseth thee, be blessed!
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, —yea it came to pass when Jacob, had only just gone forth, from the presence of Isaac 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 Then, he too, made dainty meats, and brought in to his father, —and said to his father, Let my father rise that he may eat of the game of his son, To the end 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 to him Who art, thou? And he said, I, am thy son thy firstborn, Esau.
Saa sagde hans Fader Isak: »Hvem er du?« Og han svarede: »Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte!«
33 Then did Isaac tremble with an exceeding great trembling, and said Who then was it that caught game and brought in to me and I did eat of all ere yet thou didst come in and I blessed him? Yea blessed, shall he remain!
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, then cried he out with an outcry loud and bitter exceedingly, —and said to his father, Bless even me also, O my father!
Da Esau hørte sin Faders Ord: udstødte han et højt og hjerteskærende Skrig og sagde: »Velsign dog ogsaa mig, Fader!«
35 Then he said, Thy brother came in with deceit, —and took away thy blessing.
Men han sagde: »Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!«
36 And he said, Is it because his name, is called, Jacob, that he hath tricked me, now twice? My birthright, he took away, And lo! now, he hath taken away my blessing! And he said, Hast thou not reserved for me a blessing?
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 Then answered Isaac and said to Esau, —Lo a lord, have I appointed him unto thee, And, all his brethren, have I given to him as servants, And with corn and new wine, have I sustained him, —And for thee—now, what can I do, 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, But one blessing, hast thou, O my father? Bless, me also, O 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 Then answered Isaac his father and said unto him, —Lo! of the fat parts of the earth, shall be thy dwelling, And of the dew of the heavens, 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 on thy sword, shalt thou live, And thy brother, shalt thou serve: But it shall come to pass when thou shalt rove at large, Then shalt thou 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 lay in wait for Jacob, on account of the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him, —and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father draw near, when I can slay Jacob my brother.
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 Then were told to Rebekah, the words of Esau her elder son, so she sent and called for Jacob, her younger son, and said unto him—Lo! Esau, thy brother, is consoling himself as touching thee, to slay 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, hearken to my voice, —and rise flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan
44 And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, —until that the wrath of thy brother turn away:
og bliv saa hos ham en Tid, til din Broders Harme lægger sig,
45 until the turning away of the anger of thy brother from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him, and I send and fetch thee from thence. Wherefore should I lose, you both, 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 So then Rebekah said unto Isaac, I am disgusted with my life because of the daughters of Heth, —Should Jacob be taking a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these, of the daughters of the land, wherefore could I wish for life?
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!«
