Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder 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 now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.
Da sagde han: "Se, jeg er nu gammel og ved ikke, hvad Dag Døden kommer
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
tag derfor dine Jagtredskaber, dit Pilekogger og din Bue og gå ud på Marken og skyd mig et Stykke Vildt;
4 Make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may 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 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
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, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
sagde hun til sin yngste Søn Jakob; "Se, jeg hørte din Fader sige til din Broder Esau:
7 ‘Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD 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 according to that which I command you.
Adlyd mig nu, min Søn, og gør, hvad jeg pålægger dig:
9 Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savoury food for your father, such as 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 shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, 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, “Behold, 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 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, 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, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them 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 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savoury food, such as 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 good clothes of Esau, her elder 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 of his neck.
Skindene af Gedekiddene lagde hun om hans Hænder og om det glatte på hans Hals,
17 She gave the savoury food and the bread, which 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 He came 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 what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul 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 the LORD your God gave me success.”
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, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my 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 near to Isaac his father. He felt 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 He didn’t recognise him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he 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 said, “I am.”
Og han sagde: "Du er altså virkelig min Søn Esau?" Han svarede: "Ja, jeg er!"
25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He 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 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 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD 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 God give you of the dew of the sky, 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 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses 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 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just 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 savoury food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul 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 violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, 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 an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even 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 He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
Men han sagde: "Din Broder kom med Svig og tog din Velsignelse!"
36 He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you 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 Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will 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, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
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 him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from 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 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that 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 with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then 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 elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts 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 my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
adlyd nu mig min Søn: Flygt til min Broder Laban i Karan
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
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 get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of 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 my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do 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!"
