Suencuek 27
1 Tedae Isaak te a patong vaengah a mik hmang tih tueng pa pawh. Te vaengah a capaa ham Esau tea khue tih, “Ka capa,” a tinah hatah a taengah, “Kai ni he,” a ti nah.
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” Esau replied.
2 Te phoeiah, “Ka patong coengtih ka dueknah khohnin khaw ka ming moenih he.
“Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 Te dongah na hnopai, na liva neh na liite lo laeh. Te phoeiah pongah cet lamtah kai ham lampu sakah han yuep laeh.
Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
4 Te phoeiah ka ngaih vanbangla kai ham antui saii lamtah ka taengla han khuen. Ka ca saeh lamtah ka hinglu loh ka duek hlan ah nang te yoethen kan pae eh?,” a ti nah.
Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
5 Isaak loh a capa Esau taengaha thui vaengah Rebekahloh a yaak. Te dongah Esau tah pong ah maeh loh ham saa yuep la cet.
Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
6 Te vaengah Rebekah loh a capa Jakob tea uen tih, “Na pa loh na maya Esau tea voek coeng ne.
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7 'Sakahte kai taengah han khuen lamtah kai ham antui saii laeh. Te phoeiah ka ca saeh lamtah ka duek hlan ah BOEIPA hmuh ah nang yoethen kan pae eh,’ a tinah te ka yaak coeng he.
‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
8 Te dongah ka ca, kai loh nang kan uen bangla ka ol he ngai laeh.
Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
9 Boiva taengla cet lamtah maae caa then panit te kamah taengla han khuen laeh. Te phoeiah na pa hama ngaih bangla antui ka saii eh.
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
10 Te phoeiah na pa taengla khuen lamtah ca saeh. Te nen te a duek hlan ah nang te yoethen m'paesaeh,” a ti nah.
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Tedae Jakob loh a manu Rebekah taengah, “Ka maya Esau tah mulsui hlang tih kai tah sahnal hlang ni he.
Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
12 A pa loh kai te m'phatuem khaming, a mik ah laithae la ka om vetih kai soah rhunkhuennah thoeng koinih yoethennah moenih,” a ti nah.
What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
13 Tedae a manu loh anih taengah, “Ka capa nang sokah rhunkhuennah te kai soah tla saeh. Kai ol he duem ngai laeh. Te dongah cet lamtah kamah taengla hang khuen,” a ti nah.
His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
14 Te dongah cet tiha loh phoeiah a manu taenglaa khuen. Te vaengah a manu loh a napa kah a ngaih bangla antuia saii pah.
So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
15 Te phoeiah Rebekah loh a capaa ham Esau kah himbai then te, im aha loh tih a ca noe Jakob tea bai sak.
And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
16 Te phoeiah maae ca kah a vin te a kut neh a rhawn kah a sahnal soaha dah pah.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 Te phoeiah antui neh buha saii te a capa Jakob kut aha doe.
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
18 Te phoeiah a napa taengla cet tih, “A pa,” a tinah hatah, “Kai ni he, ka ca nang he unim?” a ti nah.
So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
19 Tedae Jakob loh a napa taengah, “Kai he na caming Esau ni. Kai taengah nan thui bangla ka saii coeng. Thoo lamtah, ngol laeh. Ka sakah he ca lamtah na hinglu loh kai he yoethen paek saeh,” a ti nah.
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”
20 Tedae Isaak loh a capa te, “Ka ca metlam lae hekah he koena hmuh lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Na Pathen BOEIPA loh kai hama thoeng sak dongah ni,” a ti nah.
But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
21 Te dongah Isaak loh Jakob te, “Bet ha thoeih lamtah ka ca nang te, ka ca Esau taktak neh taktak pawta khaw kan yam lah eh,” a ti nah.
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
22 Te dongah Jakob loh a napa Isaak taengla thoeih tiha phatuem vaengah, “Ol tah Jakob ol daea kut tah Esau kut,” a ti nah.
So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Tedae a kutte a maya Esau kut phek, mulsuilaa om dongah anihte hmat pawt tih yoethen a paek.
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
24 Te vaengah, “Nang he ka ca Esau taktak a?” a tinah hatah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah.
Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
25 Te dongah, “Kai taengla han thoeih lamtah ka ca kah sakah te ka ca eh. Ka hinglu loh nang yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah a taenglaa thoeih pah. Te vaengaha caak phoeiah misurtui khaw a khuen pah tiha ok.
“Serve me,” said Isaac, “and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Te phoeiah a napa Isaak loh anih te, “Ka ca bet ha thoeih lamtah kai m'mok,” a ti nah.
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
27 Te dongah thoeih tiha mok. Te vaengah a himbai bo tea him pah tih yoethen a paek. Te phoeiah, “So lah, ka capa bo he, BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek khohmuen bo bangla om.
So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
28 Te dongah Pathen loh nang taengah vaan lamkah buemtui khaw, diklai khuehtawn khaw, cangpai cungkuem neh misur thai khaw m'pae saeh.
May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
29 Pilnam rhoek loh nang taengah thotat uh saeh lamtah, namtu loh nang taengah bakuep khaw bakuep saeh. Na pacaboeina rhoek taengah boei la om lamtah na manu ca rhoek loh nang taengah bakop uh saeh. Nang thae aka phoei thil tah thaephoei thil saeh. Nang yoethen aka pae te yoethen pae saeh,” a ti nah.
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
30 Tedae Isaak loh Jakob yoethen a paek tea khah van neh Jakob tah a napa Isaak mikhmuh lamloh nongtih vawl cet. Te phoeiah a maya Esaute a sakahnah lamkah tloep pai.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
31 Anih long khaw antuia saii van tih a napa taenglaa khuen. Te phoeiah a napa te, “A pa thoo lamtahna capa kah sakah he ca laeh. Na hinglu loh kai yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti nah.
He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32 Tedae anih te a napa Isaak loh, “Nang ulae?” a tinah hatah, “Kai, na capa na caming Esau ni,” a ti nah.
But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
33 Te dongah Isaak tah thuennah neh a nah la mat lakueng tih, “Saaa yuep phoeiah kai taengla aka khuen te ulae? Na lo hlan ah boeih ka caak tih anihte yoethen ka paek dongah a yoethen ngawn coeng,” a ti nah.
Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”
34 Esau loh a napa kah olka tea yaak tiha len la pangngawlnah neh hluthlut mat pang. A napa taengah, “A pa, kai khaw yoethen m'pae,” a ti nah.
When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”
35 Tedae, “Na manate thailatnah neh halo tih nang kah yoethennaha loh coeng,” a ti nah.
But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36 Te dongah Esau loh, “A ming khaw Jakoblaa khue pai. Te dongah ni a pabae la kai n'rhimtih kai kah caminghamsum tea loh. Te phoeiah kai kah yoethennaha loh coeng he,” a ti. Te phoeiah, “Kai ham tah yoethennahna paih pawt nim?,” a ti nah.
So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
37 Tedae Isaak loh Esau tea doo tih, “Anihte nang soah boei la ka khueh coeng ne. Te dongah a pacaboeina boeih te a taengah sal la ka paek. Te phoeiah cangpai neh misur thai khaw anih ka pang sak coeng. Te dongah ka ca nang ham balae ka saii bal eh?,” a ti nah.
But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”
38 Tedae Esau loh a napa taengah, “a pa na taengkah yoethennah te pakhat khaw ta? Kai khaw yoethen m'pae van saw a pa,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Esau loh a ol te a huel tih rhap.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
39 Te dongah a napa Isaak loh anih tea doo tih, “Diklai kah khuehtawn neh vaan dong sosang lamkah buemtui loh namah tolrhumah om bitni ne.
His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.
40 Na cunghang nehna hing vetih na mana taengahna thotat ni. Tedaena van van neh na rhawn dongkah a hnamkun te na bawt bitni,” a ti nah.
You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
41 Tedae a napa kah yoethennah te anihte yoethen a paek dongah Esau loh Jakob taengaha konaeh. Te dongah Esau loh a lungbuei khuiah,” A pa kah nguekcoinah tue yoei, ka mana Jakob te ka ngawn ni,” a ti.
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Tedae a capaa ham Esau kah olka te Rebekah taengaha puen pah. Te dongah a capaa noe Jakob tea tah tiha khue sak. Te phoeiah amah taengah, “Na maya Esau loh nang ngawn daengah ni nang ham dam a ti eh ne.
When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.
43 Te dongah ka ca, kai ol he ngai laeh. Thoo lamtah Haran ah ka nganpa Laban taengla namah yong laeh.
So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 Na maya kah kosia mael hil hnin at khaw anih taengla khosa mai.
Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
45 Na maya loh nang taengkah thintoekte mael tih anih taengahna saii tea hnilh phoeiah kan tah vetih te lamkah nang kan loh bitni. Balae tih nangmih rhoi khaw hnin at ah kan hlong eh?” a ti nah.
until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 Te dongah Rebekah loh Isaak taengah, “Kheth nu mikhmuh ah ka hingnah loha mueipuel. Amih Kheth nu bang tolrhum kah huta te Jakobloh a yuu la lo koinih kai kah hingnah he metlam a om eh?,” a ti nah.
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
