< 1 Mosebog 22 >

1 Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham på Prøve og sagde til ham: "Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and he said unto him, Abraham, and he said, Behold, here am I.
2 Da sagde han: "Tag din Søn Isak, din eneste, ham, du elsker, og drag hen til Morija Land. og bring ham der som Brændoffer på et af Bjergene, som jeg vil vise dig!"
And he said: Take now thy son, thy only one, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I tell thee of.
3 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 på Vandring; til det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and arose, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 Da Abraham den tredje Dag så. op, fik han Øje på Stedet langt borte.
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 Så sagde Abraham til sine Drenge: "Bliv her med Æselet, medens jeg og Drengen vandrer der. hen for at tilbede; så kommer vi tilbage til eder."
And Abraham said unto his young men, abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and then come again to you.
6 Abraham tog da Brændet til Brændofferet og lagde, det på sin Søn Isak; selv tog han Ilden og Offerkniven, og så gik de to sammen.
And Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
7 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?"
And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father, and said, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, here is the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?
8 Abraham svarede: "Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!" Og så gik de to sammen.
And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son; so they went both of them together.
9 Da de nåede det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham, byggede Abraham der et Alter og lagde Brændet til Rette; så bandt han sin Søn Isak og lagde ham på Alteret oven på Brændet.
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built there an altar, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar above the wood.
10 Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Hånden ud for at slagte sin Søn.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 Da råbte HERRENs Engel til ham fra Himmelen: "Abraham, Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
But the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
12 Da sagde Engelen: "Ræk ikke din Hånd 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!"
And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou the least unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thy only one, from me.
13 Og da Abraham nu så op, fik han bag ved sig Øje på 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.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a ram that was afterward caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
14 Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HERREN udser sig, eller, som man nu til dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HERREN viser sig.
And Abraham called the name of that place, Adonai-yireh: as it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
15 Men HERRENs Engel råbte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:
And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham the second time out of heaven,
16 "Jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HERREN: Fordi du har gjort dette og ikke sparet din Søn, din eneste, for mig,
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, since, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only one:
17 så 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;
That I will greatly bless thee, and I will exceedingly multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!"
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because that thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Derpå vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.
And Abraham returned unto his young men; and they rose up, and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
20 Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: "Også Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also, hath born children unto Nachor thy brother;
21 Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,
'Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;
And Kesed, and Chazo, and Pildash, and Yidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Betuel avlede Rebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,
And Bethuel begat Rebekah; these eight did Milcah bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother.
24 og desuden har hans Medhustru Re'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka."
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebach, and Gacham, and Thachash, and Maachah.
