< Genesis 25 >

1 [Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
Abraham tog sig en Hustru, som hed Ketura;
2 She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
og hun fødte ham Zimran, Joksjan, Medan, Midjan, Jisjbak og Sjua.
3 Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
Joksjan avlede Saba og Dedan. Dedans Sønner var Assjuriterne, Letusjiterne og Le'ummiterne.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
Midjans Sønner var Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida og Elda'a. Alle disse var Keturas Sønner.
5 Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
Abraham gav Isak alt, hvad han ejede;
6 But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
men de Sønner, Abraham havde med sine Medhustruer, skænkede han Gaver og sendte dem, medens han endnu levede, bort fra sin Søn Isak, østpaa til Østlandet.
7 Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
De Aar, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;
8 He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
saa udaandede han. Og Abraham døde i en god Alderdom, gammel og mæt af Dage, og samledes til sin Slægt.
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
Og hans Sønner Isak og Ismael jordede ham i Makpelas Klippehule paa Hetiten Efrons Zohars Søns, Mark over for Mamre,
10 Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
den Mark, Abraham havde købt af Hetiterne; der jordedes Abraham og hans Hustru Sara.
11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
Og da Abraham var død, velsignede Gud hans Søn Isak. Isak boede ved Be'er-lahaj-ro'i.
12 (These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
Dette er Abrahams Søn Ismaels Slægtebog, hvem Saras Trælkvinde, Ægypterinden Hagar, fødte ham.
13 These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Følgende er Navnene paa Ismaels Sønner efter deres Navne og Slægter: Nebajot, Ismaels førstefødte, Kedar, Adbe'el, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Misjma, Duma, Massa,
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisj og Kedma.
16 The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
Det var Ismaels Sønner, og det var deres Navne i deres Indhegninger og Teltlejre, tolv Høvdinger med deres Stammer.
17 Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
Ismaels Leveaar udgjorde 137; saa udaandede han; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt.
18 His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
De havde deres Boliger fra Havila til Sjur over for Ægypten hen ad Assjur til. Lige for Øjnene af alle sine Brødre slog han sig ned.
19 (This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Dette er Abrahams Søn Isaks Slægtebog. Abraham avlede Isak.
20 and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
Isak var fyrretyve Aar gammel, da han tog Rebekka, en Datter af Aramæeren Betuel fra Paddan-Aram og Søster til Aramæeren Laban, til Hustru.
21 Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
Men Isak bad til HERREN for sin Hustru, thi hun var ufrugtbar; og HERREN bønhørte ham, og Rebekka, hans Hustru, blev frugtsommelig.
22 She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
Men da Sønnerne brødes i hendes Liv, sagde hun: »Staar det saaledes til, hvorfor lever jeg da?« Og hun gik hen for at adspørge HERREN.
23 Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
Da svarede HERREN hende: »To Folkeslag er i dit Liv, to Folk skal gaa ud af dit Skød! Det ene skal kue det andet, den ældste tjene den yngste!«
24 When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
Da nu Tiden kom, at hun skulde føde, var der Tvillinger i hendes Liv.
25 The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
Den første kom frem rødlig og lodden som en Skindkappe over hele Kroppen; og de kaldte ham Esau.
26 Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
Derefter kom hans Broder frem med Haanden om Esaus Hæl; derfor kaldte de ham Jakob. Isak var tresindstyve Aar gammel, da de fødtes.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
Drengene voksede til, og Esau blev en dygtig Jæger, der færdedes i Ødemarken, men Jakob en fredsommelig Mand, en Mand, som boede i Telt.
28 Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
Isak holdt mest af Esau, thi han spiste gerne Vildt; men Rebekka holdt mest af Jakob.
29 One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
Jakob havde engang kogt en Ret Mad, da Esau udmattet kom hjem fra Marken.
30 He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
Da sagde Esau til Jakob: »Lad mig faa noget af det røde, det røde der, thi jeg er ved at dø af Sult!« Derfor kaldte de ham Edom.
31 Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sælge mig din Førstefødselsret!«
32 Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
Esau svarede: »Jeg er jo lige ved at omkomme; hvad bryder jeg mig om min Førstefødselsret!«
33 Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sværge mig det til!« Da svor Esau paa det og solgte sin Førstefødselsret til Jakob.
34 Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
Saa gav Jakob Esau Brød og kogte Linser, og da han havde spist og drukket, stod han op og gik sin Vej. Saaledes lod Esau haant om sin Førstefødselsret.
