Mui 27
1 Aisage da da: idafa hamoi galu. Ea si amola da dofoi dagoi. Eso afaega e da ea magobo mano misa: ne sia: i. E da ema amane sia: i, “Nagofe!” Iso bu adole i, “Na wea!”
And it came to pass when Isaac had become old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, that he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he said to him, Here am I.
2 Aisage da amane sia: i, “Na da da: i hamoi dagoi. Na bogomu eso hame dawa:
And he said, Behold now, I am become old; I know not the day of my death.
3 Dia dadi lale, sogega asili, na moma: ne sigua ohe fi afae fane legema.
And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison,
4 Amalalu, ha: i manu amo na hanai liligi gobelalu, nama gaguli misa. Na da amo nanu, magobo mano amoma Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele ilegema: ne defele nana sia: su, amo dima imunu.
and prepare me a savoury dish such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, in order that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5 Lebega da Aisage amo Isoma sia: daloba nabi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Iso da benea ahoanoba,
And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.
6 e da Ya: igobema amane sia: i, ‘Na da wali dia ada Isoma sia: dalebe nabi. E amane sia: i,
And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,
7 ‘Sigua ohe amo na moma: ne gaguli misa. Na da amo ha: i nanu, na da bogomu gadeneiba: le, Gode ba: ma: ne dima magobo mano hahawane dogolegele ilegema: ne nana sia: imunu.’
Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death.
8 Defea! Nagofe! Nabima! Na da hou dima olelemu.
And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.
9 Di da goudi gilisisu amoga asili, goudi mano aduna sefena gala amo lama. Amo na da gobele, dia ada ea hanai ha: i manu hamomu.
Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves.
10 Amalalu, e moma: ne di gaguli masa. E da mae bogole, magobo mano hahawane dogolegele ilegema: ne nana sia: dima imunu.
And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.
11 Be Ya: igobe da ea: mema bu adole i, “Di dawa: ! Iso ea gadofo da hinabo bagade gala. Be na da: i da hinabo hame.
And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 Na ada da na gadofo digili ba: sea, e da na ogogoi dawa: mu. Amasea na da hahawane dogolegele ilegesu sia: mae ba: le, gagabusu aligi dagoi fawane ba: mu.
My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing.
13 Ea: me bu adole i, “Nagofe! Gagabui aligisu da doaga: sea, amo da dima hame be nama fawane doaga: mu. Na sia: defele hamoma. Di goudi amo nama gaguli misa.”
And his mother said to him, On me [be] thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch [them].
14 Amaiba: le, e da goudi lala asili, ema bu gaguli misi. Lebega da Aisage ea hanai ha: i manu gobei.
And he went, and fetched and brought [them] to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as his father loved.
15 Amalalu, Lebega da Iso ea abula noga: i amo da diasu ganodini dialu, amo lale, Ya: igobema idiniginisi.
And Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;
16 E da goudi ea gadofo amo Ya: igobe ea laboso amola ea ogomagi, amoga ligisi.
and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck;
17 E da ha: i manu hedai gala, amola agi gobei Ya: igobema i.
and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Amalalu, Ya: igobe da ea adama asili, amane sia: i, “Ada!” Aisage da bu adole ba: i, “Di da na mano habola: ?”
And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my son?
19 Ya: igobe da bu adole i, “Na da dia magobo mano amo Iso. Na da dia hamoma: ne sia: i amo hamoi dagoi. Di wa: lefima. Hu amo na da dima gaguli misi, moma. Amasea, ada! Dia hahawane dogolegele sia: sia: musa: sia: i amo sia: ne ima.”
And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
20 Aisage da amane adole ba: i, “Nagofe! Di da habodane hedolodafa amo ha: i manu ba: bala: ?” Ya: igobe da bu adole i, “Dia Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, na da hedolo ba: i.”
And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God put [it] in my way.
21 Aisage da Ya: igobema amane sia: i, “Na da di digili ba: musa: , gadenene misa. Di da dafawane Isola: ?”
And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be really my son Esau or not.
22 Ya: igobe da ea ada gadenene misi. Aisage da ea gadofo digili ba: lalu, amane sia: i, “Dia sia: da Ya: igobe ea sia: defele naba, be dia laboso da Iso ea laboso defele digili ba: sa.”
And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 Ya: igobe ea laboso da hinabo bagade Iso ea laboso defele amo dawa: beba: le, e da lelu dunu da Ya: igobe hame dawa: i galu. E da ema Gode da hahawane dogolegele fidima: ne magobo mano nana sia: defei imunusa: dawa: i.
And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; and he blessed him.
24 Be e bu adole ba: i, “Di da dafawane Isola: ?” “Ma,” Ya: igobe bu adole i.
And he said, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I.
25 Aisage da amane sia: i, “Ohe hu afae nama gaguli misa. Amo nanu na da dima hahawane dogolegele misa: ne hou sia: imunu.” Ya: igobe da amo ha: i manu gaguli misi amola waini hano gaguli misi.
And he said, Bring [it] near to me, that I may eat of my son's venison, in order that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Amalalu, ea ada da ema amane sia: i, “Gadenene misa, nagofe! Nama nonogoma!”
And his father Isaac said to him, Come near, now, and kiss me, my son.
27 E da nonogomusa: manoba, Aisage da ea abula naba ba: i. E da ema hahawane dogolegele misa: ne hou nana sia: sia: i dagoi. E amane sia: i, “Na mano ea naba ba: su da gisi soge amo Gode da hahawane hamoi, amo ea gabusiga: defele gala.
And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed.
28 Gode da dima hebene doasili, oubi baea dima imunu da defea. E da dia soge osobo amo ha: i manu bagade heda: ma: ne hahamomu. E da gagoma amola waini hano bagohame dima imunu da defea.
And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and new wine.
29 Dunu fifi asi gala da dima hawa: hamosu dunu ba: mu da defea. Dunu huluane da dima begudumu, amola di da dia fi dunu ilima hinawane esalumu. Dia: me ea mano da dima begudumu da defea. Dunu da dima gagabusu aligima: ne sia: sea, ilima gagabusu aligimu da defea, amola nowa da dima hahawane dogolegele sia: sea, ilia amola da hahawane dogolegele iasu ba: mu da defea.”
Let peoples serve thee, And races bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be they that curse thee, And blessed be they that bless thee.
30 Aisage da Ya: igobema hahawane dogolegele magobo mano nana misa: ne sia: i dagoi. Amanoba, Ya: igobe da yolesili asi. Amola Iso da benea ahoanu, misi dagoi.
And it came to pass when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.
31 E amola da ha: i manu ida: iwane gobele, ea adama gaguli misi. E da adama amane sia: i, “Di wa: lefima! Hu amo na da dima gaguli misi moma! Amasea, ada dia hahawane dogolegele sia: sia: musa: nana sia: i amo sia: ne ima.”
And he also had prepared savoury dishes, and he brought [them] in to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
32 Aisage da amane adole ba: i, “Di da nowala: ?” E da bu adole i, “Na da dia magobo mano Iso.”
And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.
33 Aisage da bagade yaguguli, amane adole ba: i, “Amaiba: le, nowa da ohe medole, nama gaguli misibala: ? Wahadafa, di mae misini na da mai dagoi. Na da magobo mano hahawane dogolegele nana sia: ema iabeba: le, amo da mae yolesili dialalalumu.”
Then Isaac trembled with exceeding great trembling, and said, Who was he, then, that hunted venison and brought [it] to me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him; also blessed he shall be.
34 Amo nabaloba, Iso da digini wele sia: i, “Ada! Dia hahawane dogolegele misa: ne nana sia: nama amola ima!”
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me — me also, my father!
35 Be Aisage da bu adole i, “Diaeya da misini nama ogogoi dagoi. E da dia hahawane dogolegele misa: ne hou nana sia: amo wamolai dagoi.”
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and has taken away thy blessing.
36 Iso da amane sia: i, “E da musa: amola wali nama ogogoi. Ea dio da Ya: igobe (ogogosu gagusu) dafawane. E na magobo mano nana liligi amo lai amola wali e da nama hahawane dogolegele misa: ne sia: amo wamolai dagoi. Di da hahawane dogolegele misa: ne hou sia: afadafa nama ima: ne ganabela: ?”
And he said, Is it not therefore he was named Jacob, for he has supplanted me now twice? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
37 Aisage e bu adole i, “Na da e amo dima hina hamoi dagoi amola ea fi ema udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esaloma: ne, na hamoi dagoi. Na da gagoma amola waini hano ema i dagoi. Na dima eno imunu hamedei ba: sa.”
And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him lord over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and with corn and new wine have I supplied him — and what can I do now for thee, my son?
38 Iso da mae yolesili, Aisagema edegelalu. “Ada! Hahawane dogolegele misa: ne hou sia: afadafa nama ima! Di da afadafa fawane gaguila: ?” E muni dinanu.
And Esau said to his father, Hast thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me — me also, my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
39 Amalalu, Aisage ema amane sia: i, “Dia da mu amoga oubi baea hame ba: mu. Ha: i manu soge noga: i hame ba: mu.
And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above;
40 Di da gobihei bagadega gegesea fawane ha: i manu amola esalebe diasu amola ba: mu. Di da diaeya amo ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu ba: mu. Be di da ea sia: mae nabawane odoga: sea, ea ouligisu yolesimu.”
And by thy sword shalt thou live; And thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
41 Aisage da Ya: igobema hahawane dogolegele misa: ne hou sia: i dagoiba: le, Iso da Ya: igobe bagade higasu. E amane dawa: i, “Na ada ea bogomu da gadenei. Amasea, ema asigi didiga: su dagosea, na da Ya: igobe fane legemu.”
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, and I will slay my brother Jacob.
42 Be Lebega da Iso ea ilegesu nabaloba, e da Ya: igobe misa: ne sia: ne, ema amane sia: i, “Nabima! Dia ola Iso da dima dabemu. E da di fane legemusa: dawa: lala.
And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.
43 Nagofe! Na sia: noga: le nabima! Di da na ola La: iba: ne, ea diasu amo Halane soge ganodini diala, amoga masa.
And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran;
44 Dia ola ea ougi amo gumima: ne, La: iba: ne ea diasuga ouesaloma.
and abide with him some days, until thy brother's fury turn away —
45 Dia ola da di da ema hamoi gogolesea, na da di guiguda: oule misa: ne, dunu eno dima asunasimu. Na da na mano aduna eso afae amo ganodini fisimu bagadewane higasa.”
until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; then I will send and fetch thee thence. Why should I be bereaved even of you both in one day?
46 Lebega da Aisagema amane sia: i, “Na da Iso ea ga fi uda lai amo ela houga bagade helebe. Ya: igobe da amo Hidaide uda lasea, na da bogomu da defea.”
And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good should my life do me?
