Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau, his older son, and said to him, “My son.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
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 He said, “See here, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
Da sagde han: "Se, jeg er nu gammel og ved ikke, hvad Dag Døden kommer
3 Therefore take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gå ud på Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt;
4 Make delicious food for me, the sort that I love, and bring it to me so I can eat it and bless you 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 Now Rebekah heard it when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for game 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 spoke to Jacob her son and said, “See here, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother. He said,
sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; "Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau:
7 'Bring me game and make me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of Yahweh before my death.'
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 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you.
Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg pålægger dig:
9 Go to the flock, and bring me two good young goats; and I will make delicious food from them for your father, just like he loves.
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 You will take it to your father, so that he may eat it, so that he may bless you before his death.”
bring så den ind til din Fader, at han kan spise, for at han kan velsigne dig før sin Død!"
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “See, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Men Jakob sagde til sin Moder Rebekka: "Se, min Broder Esau er håret, jeg derimod glat;
12 Perhaps my father will touch me, and I will seem to him as a deceiver. I will bring a curse upon me and 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 said to him, “My son, let any curse fall on me. Just obey my voice, and go, bring them to 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 got the young goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made delicious food, just like his father loved.
Så gik han hen og hentede dem og bragte sin Moder dem, og hun tillavede en lækker Ret Mad efter hans Faders Smag.
15 Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau, her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
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 put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte på hans Hals,
17 She put the delicious food and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
og så gav hun sin Søn Jakob Maden og Brødet, som hun havde tillavet.
18 Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” He said, “Here I am; who are you, my son?”
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; I have done as you said to me. Now sit up and eat some of my game, that you may 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 Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Yahweh your God brought it to me.”
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 me, so I may touch you, my son, and learn whether you are my true son Esau or not.”
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 Jacob went over to Isaac his father; and Isaac touched him and said, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of 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 him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's hands, so Isaac blessed him.
Og han kendte ham ikke, fordi hans Hænder var hårede som hans Broder Esaus. Så velsignede han ham.
24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He replied, “I am.”
Og han sagde: "Du er altså virkelig min Søn Esau?" Han svarede: "Ja, jeg er!"
25 Isaac said, “Bring the food to me, and I will eat of your game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought the food to him. Isaac ate, and Jacob brought him wine, and he drank.
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 his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”
Derpå sagde hans Fader Isak til ham: "Kom hen til mig og kys mig, min Søn!"
27 Jacob came near and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his clothes and blessed him. He said, “See, 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 May God give you a portion of the dew of heaven, a portion of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
Gud give dig af Himmelens Væde og Jordens Fedme, Korn og Most i Overflod!
29 May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. Be master over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. May every one who curses you be cursed; may every one who blesses you be blessed.”
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 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his 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 He also made delicious food and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Father, get up and eat some of your son's game, so that you may bless me.”
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 Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
Så sagde hans Fader Isak: "Hvem er du?" Og han svarede: "Jeg er Esau, din førstefødte!"
33 Isaac trembled very much and said, “Who was it that hunted this game and brought it to me? I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him. Indeed, he will be blessed.”
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 the words of his father, he cried with a very great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, me also, my father.”
Da Esau hørte sin Faders Ord: udstødte han et højt og hjerteskærende Skrig og sagde: "Velsign dog også mig, Fader!"
35 Isaac said, “Your brother came here deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.”
Men han sagde: "Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!"
36 Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and, see, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing 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, “Look, I have made him your master, and I have given to him all his brothers as servants, and I have given him grain and new wine. What more can I do for you, my son?”
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, “Have you not even one blessing for me, my father? Bless me, even me too, my father.” Esau wept 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 Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Look, the place where you live will be far from the richness of the earth, away from the dew of the sky above.
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 By your sword you will live, and you will serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
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 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing that his father had given him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are near; after that I will kill my brother 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 The words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, “See, your brother Esau is consoling himself about you by planning to kill you.
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 Now therefore, my son, obey me and flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan
44 Stay with him for a while, until your brother's fury subsides,
og bliv så hos ham en Tid, til din Broders Harme lægger sig,
45 until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you back from there. Why should I lose you both in one day?
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 said to Isaac, “I am weary of life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes one of the daughters of Heth as a wife, like these women, some of the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
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!"
