Genesis 25
1 [Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
Og Abraham tok seg ei kona att; ho heitte Ketura.
2 She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Med henne fekk han Simran og Joksan og Medan og Midjan og Jisbak og Suah.
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.
Og Joksan var far til Sjeba og Dedan. Og sønerne hans Dedan var Assurar og Letusar og Leummar.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
Og sønerne hans Midjan var Efa og Efer og Hanok og Abida og Elda’a. Alle desse var borni hennar Ketura.
5 Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
Abraham gav Isak alt det han åtte.
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 sønerne åt fylgjekonorne sine gav Abraham gåvor og let deim flytja burt frå Isak, son sin, og taka austetter, til Austerland, medan han endå livde.
7 Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
Og dette er dagarne hans Abraham og den alderen han nådde: hundrad og fem og sytti år.
8 He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
Og Abraham sålast og døydde etter ein god alderdom, gamall og mett av dagar, og kom til federne sine.
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 Isak og Ismael, sønerne hans, jorda honom i Makpelahelleren, på gjordet hans Efron, son åt Sohar, hetiten, austanfor Mamre,
10 Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
det gjordet som Abraham hadde kjøpt av Hets-sønerne. Der vart Abraham og Sara, kona hans, jorda.
11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
Men då Abraham var slokna, gav Gud velsigningi si til Isak, son hans. Og Isak, han budde attmed «Kjelda åt den som liver, og ser meg».
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 ættartalet åt Ismael, son hans Abraham, han som Abraham fekk med Hagar frå Egyptarland, terna hennar Sara.
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,
Og dette er namni på sønerne hans Ismael, dei namni som er i ættarsoga deira: Nebajot, det var eldste son hans Ismael, og Kedar og Adbe’el og Mibsam
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
og Misma og Duma og Massa
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
og Hadar og Tema og Jetur og Nafis 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.
Dette var sønerne hans Ismael, og dette var namni deira, med grenderne og lægri deira, tolv ættarhovdingar.
17 Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
Og dette er liveåri hans Ismael: hundrad og sju og tretti år. Og han sålast og døydde, og kom til federne sine.
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).
Og dei budde frå Havila til Sur, som ligg midt for Egyptarland, når du tek leidi mot Assur. Midt for augo åt alle brørne sine slo han seg 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 ættarsoga hans Isak, son åt Abraham:
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.
Abraham var far åt Isak. Og Isak var fyrti år gamall, då han gifte seg med Rebekka, dotter åt Betuel, aramæaren frå Mesopotamia, syster åt Laban, aramæaren.
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.
Og Isak bad til Herren for Rebekka, kona si, av di ho var barnlaus. Og Herren høyrde bøni hans, og Rebekka, kona hans, vart umhender.
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 borni drogst i livet hennar. Då sagde ho: «Er det so, kvi skal eg då vera til?» Og ho gjekk av stad og spurde 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]
Og Herren sagde til henne: «I livet ditt er lydar tvo, Tvo folk skal frå ditt fang seg greina; Eitt folk er sterkare enn hitt. Den eldre skal den yngre tena!»
24 When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
Då so tidi hennar kom, at ho skulde eiga barn, sjå, då var det tvillingar i livet hennar.
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'].
Og den som kom fyrst, var raud, og loden yver allan, som ein feld; so kalla dei honom 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.
Og då bror hans kom, heldt han med handi i hælen på Esau. So kalla dei honom Jakob. Då dei kom til verdi, var Isak seksti år gamall.
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.
Og sveinarne voks upp, og Esau vart ein glup veidemann, og heldt til i skog og mark; men Jakob var ein mild og fredsam kar, og heldt seg heime, attmed tjeldbuderne.
28 Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
Og Isak tykte gildast um Esau, for han åt gjerne vilt; men Rebekka tykte gildast um Jakob.
29 One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
Ein gong koka Jakob ein velling; då kom Esau heim av skogen, og var trøytt og mod.
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]’.]
Og Esau sagde med Jakob: «Å lat meg få gløypa i meg noko av det raude, dette raude der; eg er reint kvitt!» Difor kallar dei honom 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).”
Då sagde Jakob: «Sel meg fyrst odelen din!»
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]
Og Esau sagde: «Du ser, eg er åt og skal døy; kva skal eg då med odelen?»
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.
«Gjer fyrst eiden på det!» sagde Jakob. So gjorde Esau eiden på det, og selde odelen sin 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.
Og Jakob gav Esau brød og linsevelling, og han åt, og drakk, og reis upp, og gjekk sin veg. So lite vyrde Esau odelen.
