Genesis 22
1 Several years later, God tested Abraham [to find out] whether Abraham [really trusted in him and would obey him]. He called out to Abraham, and Abraham replied, “I’m here.”
Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham på Prøve og sagde til ham: "Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
2 God said, “Your son, Isaac, whom you love very much, is the only son [who is still here with you]. But take him and go together to the Moriah region. Offer him as a sacrifice like a burnt offering, on a hill that I will show 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 på et af Bjergene, som jeg vil vise dig!"
3 So Abraham got up early the next morning, put a saddle on his donkey, and took with him two of his servants along with his son, Isaac. He also chopped some wood to kindle a fire for a burnt offering. Then they started traveling to the place God told him about.
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 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
Da Abraham den tredje Dag så. op, fik han Øje på Stedet langt borte.
5 Abraham said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We will worship God there, and then we will come back to 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 Then Abraham took the wood to kindle a fire for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, for him to carry. Abraham carried in his hand a [pan containing burning coals to start a] fire, and a knife, and the two of them walked along 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 Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and [coals to light] a fire, but where is the lamb for the 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 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
Abraham svarede: "Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!" Og så gik de to sammen.
9 They arrived at the place God had told him about. There, Abraham built a stone altar and arranged the wood on top of it. Then he tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the 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 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Hånden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
Da råbte HERRENs Engel til ham fra Himmelen: "Abraham, Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
12 The angel said, “Do not harm the boy or do anything to injure him, because now I know that you respect and obey God. I know that because you have not refused to sacrifice your son, the only son [who is still with you].”
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 Then Abraham looked up and saw that a ram was nearby, whose horns had been caught in a (thicket/clump of bushes). So Abraham went over and grabbed the ram [and killed it], and sacrificed it on the altar as a burnt offering, 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 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HERREN udser sig, eller, som man nu til dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HERREN viser sig.
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
Men HERRENs Engel råbte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
16 He said, “I, Yahweh your Lord, am telling you that you did what I told you, and you have not refused to sacrifice your only son [that is with you]. So I say, ‘I solemnly swear, with myself as my witness,
"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 some day your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. And your descendants will defeat their enemies and capture their cities [SYN].’
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 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!"
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
Derpå vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: "Også Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;
23 who was the father of Rebekah, [who later became Isaac’s wife]. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor.
Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
24 Nahor also had a (concubine/female slave whom he took as a wife), whose name was Beumah. She gave birth to four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka."
