1 Mosebok 25
1 Abraham tog åter ena hustru, hon het Ketura.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 Hon födde honom Simran och Jacksan, Medan och Midian, Jisbak och Suah.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Men Jacksan födde Seba och Dedan. Dedans barn voro Assurim, Letusim och Leummim.
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.
4 Midians barn voro Epha, Epher, Hanoch, Abida och Eldaa; desse äro alle Ketura barn.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Men Abraham gaf allt sitt gods Isaac.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Men de barnen, som han hade af frillorna, gaf han skänker, och lät dem fara ifrå sin son Isaac, medan han än lefde, öster ut i österlanden.
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.
7 Men Abrahams ålder, som han lefde, var hundrade fem och sjutio år.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Och blef sjuk, och dödde i en rolig ålder, då han af ålder och lefvande mätter var; och vardt samlad till sitt folk.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Och honom begrofvo hans söner, Isaac och Ismael, i den dubbelkulone, på Ephrons åker, Zoars Hetheens sons, som ligger emot Mamre;
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.
10 I den markene, som Abraham köpt hade af Hets barnom: Der är Abraham begrafven med Sara sine hustru.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 Och efter Abrahams död välsignade Gud hans son Isaac; och han bodde vid den brunnen, som kallades dens lefvandes och seendes.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Detta är Ismaels Abrahams sons slägt, som Hagar, Saras tjensteqvinna af Egypten, födde honom.
(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.
13 Och detta är Ismaels barns namn, der deras slägte hafva namn af: Ismaels förste son Nebajoth, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
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,
14 Misma, Duma, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadar, Thema, Jethur, Naphis och Kedma.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Desse äro Ismaels barn med deras namn, i deras byar och städer, tolf förstar.
The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
17 Och detta är Ismaels ålder, hundrade och sju och tretio år; och han vardt sjuk och dödde, och vardt samkad intill sitt folk.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Men han bodde ifrå Hevila in till Zur emot Egypten, när man går till Assyrien; och satte sig emot alla sina bröder.
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).
19 Detta är Isaacs Abrahams sons slägte: Abraham födde Isaac.
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Men Isaac var fyratio år gammal, då han tog Rebecka till hustru, Bethuels Syrens af Mesopotamien dotter, Labans Syrens syster.
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.
21 Men Isaac bad Herran för sine hustru, ty hon var ofruktsam; och Herren hörde honom, och Rebecka hans hustru vardt hafvande.
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.
22 Och barnen stötte sig med hvarannan i hennes lif. Då sade hon: Efter mig skulle så gå, hvi är jag då vorden hafvandes? Och gick bort till att fråga Herran.
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.
23 Och Herran sade till henne: Tu folk äro i dino lifve, och tveggehanda folk skola skiljas utaf dino lifve: Och det ena folket skall öfvervinna det andra, och den större skall tjena den mindre.
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]
24 Då nu tiden kom att hon föda skulle, si, då voro tvillingar i hennes lifve.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Den förste, som utkom, var röd och luden som ett skin: Och de kallade honom Esau.
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'].
26 Straxt derefter kom hans broder ut, han höll med sine hand i Esau fotablad, och de kallade honom Jacob: Sextio år gammal var Isaac, då de vordo födde.
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.
27 Och då drängarne vordo store, vardt Esau en jägare och en åkerman; men Jacob en from man, och bodde i tjäll.
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.
28 Och Isaac hade Esau kär, ty han plägade äta af hans vede; men Rebecka hade Jacob kär.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Och Jacob kokade en rätt; då kom Esau af markene, och var trötter;
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Och sade till Jacob: Gif mig äta af denna röda rättenom, ty jag är trötter: Deraf heter han Edom.
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]’.]
31 Men Jacob sade: Sälj mig i dag din förstfödslorätt.
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Esau svarade: Si, jag måste dock dö: Hvad varder mig den förstfödslorätten nyttig?
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]
33 Jacob sade: Så svär mig i dag. Och han svor honom: Och sålde så Jacob sin förstfödslorätt.
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.
34 Då gaf Jacob honom bröd och den grynvällingen, och han åt och drack, och stod upp, och gick dädan. Och så föraktade Esau sin förstfödslorätt.
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.
