Genesis 22
1 It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham paa Prøve og sagde til ham: »Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
Da sagde han: »Tag din Søn Isak, din eneste, ham, du elsker, og drag hen til Morija Land og bring ham der som Brændoffer paa et af Bjergene, som jeg vil vise dig!«
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had 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 paa Vandring; til det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham.
4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
Da Abraham den tredje Dag saa op, fik han Øje paa Stedet langt borte.
5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again to you.”
Saa sagde Abraham til sine Drenge: »Bliv her med Æselet, medens jeg og Drengen vandrer derhen for at tilbede; saa kommer vi tilbage til eder.«
6 Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
Abraham tog da Brændet til Brændofferet og lagde det paa sin Søn Isak; selv tog han Ilden og Offerkniven, og saa gik de to sammen.
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, 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 said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, both of them together.
Abraham svarede: »Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!« Og saa gik de to sammen.
9 When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Da de naaede det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham, byggede Abraham der et Alter og lagde Brændet til Rette; saa bandt han sin Søn Isak og lagde ham paa Alteret oven paa Brændet.
10 Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Haanden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
11 Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
Da raabte HERRENS Engel til ham fra Himmelen: »Abraham, Abraham!« Han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
12 He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
Da sagde Engelen: »Ræk ikke din Haand 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 Abraham looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Og da Abraham nu saa op, fik han bag ved sig Øje paa 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 So Abraham called that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HERREN udser sig, eller, som man nu til Dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HERREN viser sig.
15 The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
Men HERRENS Engel raabte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
16 and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
»Jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HERREN: Fordi du har gjort dette og ikke sparet din Søn, din eneste, for mig,
17 I will surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
saa 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 Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!«
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
Derpaa vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.
20 It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: »Ogsaa Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
21 They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka.«
