1 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!"
1 Now it came about, when Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”
19 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!"
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you told me. Get up, please, sit and eat of my game, that you may bless me.”
25 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.
25 So he said, “Bring it to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, that I may bless you.” And he brought it to him, and he ate; he also brought him wine and he drank.
27 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!
27 So he came close and kissed him; and when he smelled the smell of his garments, he blessed him and said,“See, the smell of my sonIs like the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed;
29 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!"
29 May peoples serve you,And nations bow down to you;Be master of your brothers,And may your mother’s sons bow down to you.Cursed be those who curse you,And blessed be those who bless you.”
30 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;
30 Now it came about, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had hardly gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 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!"
31 Then he also made savory food, and brought it to his father; and he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that you may bless me.”
36 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?"
36 Then he said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob, for he has supplanted me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
37 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?"
37 But Isaac replied to Esau, “Behold, I have made him your master, and all his relatives I have given to him as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. Now as for you then, what can I do, my son?”
39 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;
39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him,“Behold, away from the fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling,And away from the dew of heaven from above.
41 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!"
41 So Esau bore a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him; and Esau said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 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;
42 Now when the words of her elder son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she sent and called her younger son Jacob, and said to him, “Behold your brother Esau is consoling himself concerning you by planning to kill you.
45 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!"
45 until your brother’s anger against you subsides and he forgets what you did to him. Then I will send and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
46 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!"
46 Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am tired of living because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
