Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
Da Isak var blevet gammel og hans Syn sløvet, så 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 said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
Da sagde han: "Se, jeg er nu gammel og ved ikke, hvad Dag Døden kommer
3 Isaac said, “Listen to me. I am very old, and I do not know when I will die. So now take your bow and quiver full of arrows and go out into the countryside, and hunt for a wild animal for me.
tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gå ud på Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt;
4 Kill one and prepare the kind of tasty meat that I like. Then bring it to me so that after I eat it, I can give you a blessing before 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 Rebekah was listening as Isaac said that to his son, Esau. So when Esau left the tent to go to the countryside to hunt for a wild animal in order to kill it and bring it back,
Men Rebekka havde lyttet, medens Isak talte til sin Søn Esau, og da, Esau var gået ud på Marken for at skyde et Stykke Vildt til sin Fader,
6 Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; "Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau:
7 ‘Go and kill some wild animal and bring it here, and prepare the meat in a tasty way, so that I may eat it, and then before I die I can give you my blessing while Yahweh is listening.’
Hent mig et Stykke Vildt og lav mig en lækker Ret Mad, at jeg kan spise, før at jeg kan velsigne dig for HERRENs Åsyn før min Død.
8 So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg pålægger dig:
9 Go out to the flock and [kill] two nice young goats and bring [the meat] to me. Then I will prepare some tasty food for your father, the way he likes it.
Gå ud til Hjorden og hent mig to gode Gedekid; så laver jeg af dem en lækker Ret Mad til din Fader efter hans Smag;
10 Then you can take it to your father, in order that he can eat it, and then, before he dies, he will give his blessing to you, [and not to your older brother].”
bring så den ind til din Fader, at han kan spise, for at han kan velsigne dig før sin Død!"
11 But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “But my brother Esau’s skin has hair all over it, and my skin is not like that! My skin is smooth!
Men Jakob sagde til sin Moder Rebekka: "Se, min Broder Esau er håret, jeg derimod glat;
12 What will happen if my father touches me? He will realize that I am tricking him, and as a result (I will be cursed/he will say that God will do bad things to) me, not a blessing!”
sæt nu, at min Fader føler på mig, så står jeg for ham som en Bedrager og henter mig en Forbandelse og ingen Velsignelse!"
13 His mother replied, “If that happens, let the curse be on me. You do what I am telling you. Go and get the goats for me!”
Men hans Moder svarede: "Den Forbandelse tager jeg på mig, min Søn, adlyd mig blot og gå hen og hent mig dem!"
14 So Jacob went and killed two goats and brought them to his mother. Then [with the meat] his mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked.
Så gik han hen og hentede dem og bragte sin Moder dem, og hun tillavede en lækker Ret Mad efter hans Faders Smag.
15 Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s clothes that were with her in the tent, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
Derpå tog Rebekka sin ældste Søn Esaus Festklæder, som hun havde hos sig i Huset, og gav sin yngste Søn Jakob dem på;
16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte på hans Hals,
17 Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
og så gav hun sin Søn Jakob Maden og Brødet, som hun havde tillavet.
18 Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
Så bragte han det ind til sin Fader og sagde: "Fader!" Han svarede: "Ja! Hvem er du, min Søn?"
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn son. I did what you told me to do. Sit up and eat some of the meat so that you can then 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 But Isaac asked his son, “My son, how is it that you were able to find and kill an animal so quickly?” Jacob replied, “Because Yahweh, whom you worship, enabled me to be successful.”
Men Isak sagde til sin Søn: "Hvor har du så hurtigt kunnet finde noget, min Søn?" Han svarede: "Jo, HERREN din Gud sendte mig det i Møde!"
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near to me, my son, so that I can touch you and determine whether you are really my son Esau.”
Men Isak sagde til Jakob: "Kom hen til mig, min Søn, så jeg kan føle på dig, om du er min Søn Esau eller ej!"
22 So Jacob went close to him. Isaac. Isaac touched him and said, “Your voice sounds like Jacob, but your hands feel hairy, like the hands of your older brother, Esau.”
Da trådte Jakob hen til sin Fader, og efter at have følt på ham sagde Isak: "Røsten er Jakobs, men Hænderne Esaus!"
23 Isaac did not recognize Jacob, [because he was blind] and because Jacob’s hands were now hairy, like those of his older brother, Esau. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.
Og han kendte ham ikke, fordi hans Hænder var hårede som hans Broder Esaus. Så velsignede han ham.
24 But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
Og han sagde: "Du er altså virkelig min Søn Esau?" Han svarede: "Ja, jeg er!"
25 Isaac said, “My son, bring me some of the meat that you have cooked, so that I may eat it and then give you my blessing.” So Jacob brought him some, and he ate it. Jacob also brought him some wine, and he drank it.
Da sagde han: "Bring mig det, at jeg kan spise af min Søns Vildt, for at min Sjæl kan velsigne dig!" Så bragte han ham det, og han spiste, og han bragte ham Vin, og han drak.
26 Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
Derpå sagde hans Fader Isak til ham: "Kom hen til mig og kys mig, min Søn!"
27 So Jacob came close to him, and his father kissed him on the cheek. Isaac smelled the clothes Jacob was wearing. They smelled like Esau’s clothes. So he said, “Truly, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed.
Og da, han kom hen til ham og kyssede ham, mærkede han Duften af hans Klæder. Så velsignede han ham og sagde: "Se, Duften af min Søn er som Duften af en Mark, HERREN har velsignet!
28 I ask that God will send down to you dew from heaven [to water your fields], and cause you to have abundant crops, good harvests of grain, and grapes for wine.
Gud give dig af Himmelens Væde og Jordens Fedme, Korn og Most i Overflod!
29 I ask that people of many nations will serve you and bow down to you. I ask that you will rule over your brothers, and that your mother’s descendants will also bow down to you. I ask that God will curse/punish those who (curse you/ask God to do bad things to you), and bless those who bless you.”
Måtte 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 After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
Da Isak var færdig med at velsigne Jakob, og lige som Jakob var gået fra sin Fader Isak, vendte hans Broder Esau hjem fra Jagten;
31 Esau cooked some tasty meat and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “My father, please sit up and eat some of the meat that I have cooked, so that you can then give me your blessing!”
også 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 His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
Så sagde hans Fader Isak: "Hvem er du?" Og han svarede: "Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte!"
33 Then Isaac, realizing that it was not Esau who had come earlier, trembled very violently. He said, “Then who is it that brought me some meat from an animal that he had hunted and killed, and I ate it all? He was here just before you came. I blessed him, and I cannot (take back that blessing/declare that those things will not happen to him).”
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 those words of his father, he cried loudly. He was very disappointed. He said to his father, “My father, bless me, too!”
Da Esau hørte sin Faders Ord: udstødte han et højt og hjerteskærende Skrig og sagde: "Velsign dog også mig, Fader!"
35 But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
Men han sagde: "Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!"
36 Esau said, “It is right [RHQ] that his name is Jacob, which means ‘cheat,’ because he deceived me two times. The first time he took my rights from being his firstborn son, and this time he took my blessing!” Then he asked, “Do you not have any blessing left for me?”
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 også taget min Velsignelse!" Og han sagde: "Har du ingen Velsignelse tilbage til mig?"
37 Isaac answered and said to Esau, “I have declared that your younger brother will rule over you, and declared that all his relatives will serve him. And I have said that God will give him plenty of grain and grapes for wine. So, my son, (what can I do for you?/There is nothing more that I can do for you!)” [RHQ]
Men Isak svarede: "Se, jeg har sat ham til Hersker over dig, og alle hans Brødre har jeg gjort til hans Trælle, med Horn og Most. har jeg betænkt ham hvad kan jeg da gøre for dig, min Søn?"
38 Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
Da sagde Esau til sin Fader: "Har du kun den ene Velsignelse. Fader? Velsign også mig, Fader!" Og Esau opløftede sin Røst og græd.
39 His father Isaac answered and said to him, “The place where you will live will be far from the fertile soil and from the dew that God sends from heaven [to water the fields].
Så 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 You will [rob and] kill people [MTY] in order to [get what you need to] live, and you will be as though you are your brother’s slave. But when you decide to rebel against him, you will (free yourself from/no longer be under) his control.”
af dit Sværd skal du leve, og din Broder skal du tjene; men når du samler din Kraft, skal du sprænge hans Åg af din Hals!"
41 So, because his father had given a blessing to Jacob, and not to him, Esau hated his younger brother. Esau thought to himself, “After my father dies and we finish mourning for him, I will kill Jacob!”
Men Esau pønsede på 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, så vil jeg slå min Broder Jakob ihjel!"
42 But Rebekah found out what her older son, Esau, was thinking. So she summoned her younger son, Jacob, and said to him, “Listen to me. Your older brother, Esau, is [comforting himself by] planning to kill you, to get revenge because of your deceiving your father.
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 på dig og slå dig ihjel;
43 So now, my son, listen carefully to what I am telling you. Escape quickly and go and stay with my brother Laban, in Haran [town].
adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan
44 Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
og bliv så hos ham en Tid, til din Broders Harme lægger sig,
45 When he forgets what you did to him, I will send a message to you, to tell you to return from there. If Esau kills you, [others will kill him, and] then both my sons would die at the same time!” [RHQ]
til din Broders Vrede vender sig fra dig, og han glemmer, hvad du har gjort ham; så skal jeg sende Bud og hente dig hjem. Hvorfor skal jeg miste eder begge på een Dag!"
46 Rebekah also said to Isaac, “These [foreign] women whom Esau has married, who are descendants of Heth, are making my life miserable. I would prefer to die than to see Jacob marry a woman from the descendants of Heth in this area!”
Men Rebekka sagde til Isak: "Jeg er led ved Livet for Hets Døtres Skyld; hvis Jakob tager sig sådan en hetitisk Kvinde, en af Landets Døtre, til Hustru, hvad skal jeg da med Livet!"
