Suencuek 27
1 Tedae Isaak te a patong vaengah a mik hmang tih tueng pa pawh. Te vaengah a capa a ham Esau te a khue tih, “Ka capa,” a ti nah hatah a taengah, “Kai ni he,” a ti nah.
Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.
2 Te phoeiah, “Ka patong coeng tih ka dueknah khohnin khaw ka ming moenih he.
And he said, See now, I am old, and my death may take place at any time:
3 Te dongah na hnopai, na liva neh na lii te lo laeh. Te phoeiah pong ah cet lamtah kai ham lampu sakah han yuep laeh.
So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat 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.
And make me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.
5 Isaak loh a capa Esau taengah a thui vaengah Rebekah loh a yaak. Te dongah Esau tah pong ah maeh loh ham saa yuep la cet.
Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.
6 Te vaengah Rebekah loh a capa Jakob te a uen tih, “Na pa loh na maya Esau te a voek coeng ne.
And Rebekah said to Jacob, her son, Your father said to your brother Esau in my hearing,
7 'Sakah te 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 ti nah te ka yaak coeng he.
Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.
8 Te dongah ka ca, kai loh nang kan uen bangla ka ol he ngai laeh.
Now, my son, do what I say.
9 Boiva taengla cet lamtah maae ca a then panit te kamah taengla han khuen laeh. Te phoeiah na pa ham a ngaih bangla antui ka saii eh.
Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats; and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:
10 Te phoeiah na pa taengla khuen lamtah ca saeh. Te nen te a duek hlan ah nang te yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti nah.
And you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing before his death.
11 Tedae Jakob loh a manu Rebekah taengah, “Ka maya Esau tah mulsui hlang tih kai tah sahnal hlang ni he.
And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:
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.
If by chance my father puts his hand on me, it will seem to him that I am tricking him, and he will put a curse on me in place of 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.
And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me.
14 Te dongah cet tih a loh phoeiah a manu taengla a khuen. Te vaengah a manu loh a napa kah a ngaih bangla antui a saii pah.
So he went and got them and took them to his mother: and she made a meal to his father's taste.
15 Te phoeiah Rebekah loh a capa a ham Esau kah himbai then te, im ah a loh tih a ca noe Jakob te a bai sak.
And Rebekah took the fair robes of her oldest son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son:
16 Te phoeiah maae ca kah a vin te a kut neh a rhawn kah a sahnal soah a dah pah.
And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck:
17 Te phoeiah antui neh buh a saii te a capa Jakob kut ah a doe.
And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.
18 Te phoeiah a napa taengla cet tih, “A pa,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni he, ka ca nang he unim?” a ti nah.
And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I: who 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.
And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.
20 Tedae Isaak loh a capa te, “Ka ca metlam lae hekah he koe na hmuh lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Na Pathen BOEIPA loh kai ham a thoeng sak dongah ni,” a ti nah.
And Isaac said, How is it that you have got it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God made it come my way.
21 Te dongah Isaak loh Jakob te, “Bet ha thoeih lamtah ka ca nang te, ka ca Esau taktak neh taktak pawt a khaw kan yam lah eh,” a ti nah.
And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.
22 Te dongah Jakob loh a napa Isaak taengla thoeih tih a phatuem vaengah, “Ol tah Jakob ol dae a kut tah Esau kut,” a ti nah.
And Jacob went near his father Isaac: and he put his hands on him; and he said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 Tedae a kut te a maya Esau kut phek, mulsui la a om dongah anih te hmat pawt tih yoethen a paek.
And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.
24 Te vaengah, “Nang he ka ca Esau taktak a?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah.
And he said, Are you truly my son Esau? And he said, 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 taengla a thoeih pah. Te vaengah a caak phoeiah misurtui khaw a khuen pah tih a ok.
And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.
26 Te phoeiah a napa Isaak loh anih te, “Ka ca bet ha thoeih lamtah kai m'mok,” a ti nah.
And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, my son, and give me a kiss.
27 Te dongah thoeih tih a mok. Te vaengah a himbai bo te a him pah tih yoethen a paek. Te phoeiah, “So lah, ka capa bo he, BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek khohmuen bo bangla om.
And he came near and gave him a kiss; and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:
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 you the dew of heaven, and the good things of the earth, and grain and wine in full measure:
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.
Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.
30 Tedae Isaak loh Jakob yoethen a paek te a khah van neh Jakob tah a napa Isaak mikhmuh lamloh nong tih vawl cet. Te phoeiah a maya Esau te a sakah nah lamkah tloep pai.
And when Isaac had come to the end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had not long gone away from Isaac his father, Esau came in from the field.
31 Anih long khaw antui a saii van tih a napa taengla a khuen. Te phoeiah a napa te, “A pa thoo lamtah na capa kah sakah he ca laeh. Na hinglu loh kai yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti nah.
And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.
32 Tedae anih te a napa Isaak loh, “Nang ulae?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai, na capa na caming Esau ni,” a ti nah.
And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your oldest son, Esau.
33 Te dongah Isaak tah thuennah neh a nah la mat lakueng tih, “Saa a yuep phoeiah kai taengla aka khuen te ulae? Na lo hlan ah boeih ka caak tih anih te yoethen ka paek dongah a yoethen ngawn coeng,” a ti nah.
And in great fear Isaac said, Who then is he who got meat and put it before me, and I took it all before you came, and gave him a blessing, and his it will be?
34 Esau loh a napa kah olka te a yaak tih a len la pangngawlnah neh hluthlut mat pang. A napa taengah, “A pa, kai khaw yoethen m'pae,” a ti nah.
And hearing the words of his father, Esau gave a great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Give a blessing to me, even to me, O my father!
35 Tedae, “Na mana te thailatnah neh halo tih nang kah yoethennah a loh coeng,” a ti nah.
And he said, Your brother came with deceit, and took away your blessing.
36 Te dongah Esau loh, “A ming khaw Jakob la a khue pai. Te dongah ni a. pabae la kai n'rhim tih kai kah caminghamsum te a loh. Te phoeiah kai kah yoethennah a loh coeng he,” a ti. Te phoeiah, “Kai ham tah yoethennah na paih pawt nim?,” a ti nah.
And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept a blessing for me?
37 Tedae Isaak loh Esau te a doo tih, “Anih te 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.
And Isaac answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants; I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to 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.
And Esau said to his father, Is that the only blessing you have, my father? give a blessing to me, even me! And Esau was overcome with weeping.
39 Te dongah a napa Isaak loh anih te a doo tih, “Diklai kah khuehtawn neh vaan dong sosang lamkah buemtui loh namah tolrhum ah om bitni ne.
Then Isaac his father made answer and said to him, Far from the fertile places of the earth, and far from the dew of heaven on high will your living-place be:
40 Na cunghang neh na hing vetih na mana taengah na thotat ni. Tedae na van van neh na rhawn dongkah a hnamkun te na bawt bitni,” a ti nah.
By your sword will you get your living and you will be your brother's servant; but when your power is increased his yoke will be broken from off your neck.
41 Tedae a napa kah yoethennah te anih te yoethen a paek dongah Esau loh Jakob taengah a konaeh. Te dongah Esau loh a lungbuei khuiah,” A pa kah nguekcoinah tue yoei, ka mana Jakob te ka ngawn ni,” a ti.
So Esau was full of hate for Jacob because of his father's blessing; and he said in his heart, The days of weeping for my father are near; then I will put my brother Jacob to death.
42 Tedae a capa a ham Esau kah olka te Rebekah taengah a puen pah. Te dongah a capa a noe Jakob te a tah tih a khue sak. Te phoeiah amah taengah, “Na maya Esau loh nang ngawn daengah ni. nang ham dam a ti eh ne.
Then Rebekah, hearing what Esau had said, sent for Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, It seems that your brother Esau is purposing to put you to death.
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, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban;
44 Na maya kah kosi a mael hil hnin at khaw anih taengla khosa mai.
And be there with him for a little time, till your brother's wrath is turned away;
45 Na maya loh nang taengkah thintoek te mael tih anih taengah na saii te a 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.
Till the memory of what you have done to him is past and he is no longer angry: then I will send word for you to come back; are the two of you to be taken from me in one day?
46 Te dongah Rebekah loh Isaak taengah, “Kheth nu mikhmuh ah ka hingnah loh a mueipuel. Amih Kheth nu bang tolrhum kah huta te Jakob loh a yuu la lo koinih kai kah hingnah he metlam a om eh?,” a ti nah.
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, My life is a weariness to me because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife from among the daughters of Heth, such as these, the women of this land, of what use will my life be to me?
