I would not normally request a translation of this size but I tried google translate and the results were not good. This was written in the bible of my great-grandmother, Marit Hansdatter I think when it was presented to her by her father Hans Hansen Pillervikenon on the occasion of her 18th birthday. This is also contained in the book Hans Hansen Pillarvikens Etterkommere by Birger Sivertsen page 42 if anyone has access to that book.
Til dig min inderligkJære Datter Marit Hansdatter
Overleverer jeg denne dyrebare bog til din Eiendom med et ligesaa inderlig Ønske om
dens kjærlige Fortengnelse og salige Brug
Kjære Barn! Saa ømt - med Faderhender
Her ja herdin Arv jeg rækker dig,
Og min varme Bøn til Himlen sender
Til den Gud som kjender dig og mig.
At han vil mit Hjertes Ønske fremme
Til at, din faders Arvedeel
Smukt bevare kan, og trolig gjemme
Til næring for din dyrekjøpte Sjel
Den er ikke Guld af Jordens Rigdoms Skatte
Ei verdslig Brudestas, som her skal pryde dig.
Og daarskaps Dukketøi, den skal vi indbefatte
Det hvoraf Verdens Gjække bryste sig.
Man giver Sjelen Guld hvis Glandsskal vi aftage
Den pryder Sjelen med den Ære, Stas og Pragt
Som skal din Sjelebrudgom vel behage
Og Rækker Kronen dig i Himlen er henlagt.
Ladden opholde dig, hvert Trin du her skal træde
Gaa i dens klare Skin, ethvert af dine Fjed
Da har du i al Sorg en uskaterlig Glæde
Og midt i Verdens Sverm, i hjertet salig Fred
Den skal bestyrke dig, at du nu ska lforsage
Paa prøvens Vei hen til din rette Faders Hjem
Et uudslukligt Lys, du her kan med dig tage
som lyse skal for dig i Verdens Mørke frem.
Den skal veilede dig op til den hulde Fader
som i sit Himmelhuus dig kjærlig lukker ind
Og vil indlemme dig blandt Englers Myriader,
Der ingen Sorrig mer formørke skal dit Sind
Du der din Frelser som for dine Synder døde,
skal skue levende i Livets Eye saablid.
Ja haab din Moder der skal ile dig imøde
Og hilse glædelig - vær nu velkommen hid.
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this.

This is to the best of my ability:
To you my deeply dear daughter Marit Hansdatter I pass on this precious book as your property and with a likewise fervent wish for its loving storage and blessed use
Sweet child! So tenderly - with father hands I hereby hand you your inheritance, and my warm prayer I send to the sky to the God who knows both you and me.
That he will promote my heart's wish which is, that your father's inheritance may be beautifully preserved, and probably be hidden as food for your dearly bought soul.
It isn't any gold of the earth's wealthy treasures nor secular bridal finery which here shall decorate you. And folly doll's clothes we shall include of which the world so nice can swagger.
One gives the soul gold whose gloss we shall treasure, it embellishes the soul with the honour, finery and splendour which shall please your souls groom and hand you the crown which is hidden in heaven.
Let it delay you, each step you have to take, go in it's clear glow every step of your way, then you have in every sorrow a wonderful pleasure and in the middle of the world's swarm, your heart are blessed with peace.
It shall strengthen you as you now have to renounce on the test's road to your rightfully father, an unquenchable light you can bring with your whose light shall help you in the world's darkness.
It shall guide you up to the heavenly father who will let you in his loving heavenly house and incorporate your among the angels' myriads, where no sorrow will darken your mind any more.
There you shall see your gentle saviour who died for your sins, yes hope that your mother will hurry to meet you there and happily say - be welcome here. |
