Semtilbu 27
1 Ateh a kho amu chen lou nung hin nikhat hi Isaac in achapa alenjo pachu akouve.
Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were cloudy, and so he was not able to see. And he called his elder son Esau, and he said to him, “My son?” And he responded, “Here I am.”
2 “Ka chapa! Keima hi ateh kahi tai, Itih thiding kahim kasei thei tapoi,
His father said to him: “You see that I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 Hijeh chun tun nangma kigong in lang na man chah nathalpi kigot inlang gamlah a kei ding sa gakap'in,
Take your weapons, the quiver and the bow, and go out. And when you have taken something by hunting,
4 Chuteng le keiman kadu lamtah in hin lhonin lang hinchoi jin keiman kaneh ding chuteng le nangma hi kahinkho abei masanga phatthei kaboh ding nahi ati.
make from it a small meal for me, just as you know I like, and bring it, so that I may eat and my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 Ahin Isaac le Esau kihou na chu Rebekah'in guhthim chan ana ngai jin hichun Esau chu gamleng ding a akon doh phat in;
And when Rebekah had heard this, and he had gone out into the field to fulfill his father’s order,
6 Rebekah in Jacob jah'a hitin aseiye, “Ngaijin napa Isaac in na upa Esau hitin ahoulimpi kaja'e,” ati.
she said to her son Jacob: “I heard your father speaking with your brother Esau, and saying to him,
7 “Sa neiga delpeh inlang kadu lamtah in hinhon in lang hinchoi in keiman ne ingting chule Pathen masanga phatthei kaboh ding nahi, kahinkho abei masang in,” ati.
‘Bring to me from your hunting, and make me foods, so that I may eat and bless you in the sight of the Lord before I die.’
8 Hijeh chun tun kachapa ka thusei hi phatechan ngaiyin kathu sei hohi najui ding ahi.
Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,
9 “Nangma kelngoi hon lah a gachen lang ahoitah cheh anouni hinkai jin chuteng le keiman napa dulam tah a kahon peh ding,
and go straight to the flock, and bring me two of the best young goats, so that from them I may make meat for your father, such as he willingly eats.
10 Hiche teng chule nangman napa komma nachoi ding aman aneh a aneh jou teng phatthei na boh ding ahi, ama ahinkho adampet ahi,” ati.
Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Ahin Jacob in anu Rebekah adonbut in ajah'a, “Vetem in ka upa Esau a tichung amul in ahin keima vou nem a timul lou ka hi.
He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
12 I kati ding ham? kapa in eihin jut le ta le jou a kabol ahin hetdoh leh koi phatthei chan sanga sapset na joh kachan joh ding ahi,” ati.
If my father should lay hands on me and perceive it, I am afraid lest he think me willing to mock him, and I will bring a curse upon myself, instead of a blessing.”
13 Hinlah anu Rebekah in adonbut in, “Sapsetna ho aumle keiman abon'in keiman kipoh tang kate ati, chapa bol in ka ti hohi na bol angaiye, che inlang kelngoi chu ka henga hin kailut loiyin ati!”
And his mother said to him: “Let this curse be upon me, my son. Yet listen to my voice, and go directly to bring what I said.”
14 Hichun Jacob jong achen kelngoi chu anu kom'a ahin kailut tai. Chuin anun jong apa dulam tah in ahon peh tai.
He went out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just as she knew his father liked.
15 Hichun Esau von holah a aphapen chu insunga kon in agala doh in achapa aneojo pa Jacob chu avonpeh tan ahi.
And she clothed him with the very fine garments of Esau, which she had at home with her.
16 Chule kelngoi nou teni mulchu akhut teni le angong amul bei lai achun atom peh in ahi.
And she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.
17 Hichun Rebekah in sa twitah a ahon chule changlhah ama semsa chu achapa Jacob khut a apetan ahi.
And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.
18 Hichun Jacob in changlhah le kelsa chu apa aga pen “Hepa” atileh aman jong “Hoiyo koipen nahim ka chapa?”
When he had carried these in, he said, “My father?” And he answered, “I’m listening. Who are you, my son?”
19 Jacob'in a donbut in, “Keima Esau na chapa apeng masa chu kahi,” ati. “Keiman kahin subulhit tai nei nganse na chu lungset tah in kithou inlang ka hin choi sa twitah a kihon hi ne inlang phatthei neiboh tan,” ati.
And Jacob said: “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you instructed me. Arise; sit and eat from my hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
20 Chuin Isaac in achapa chu adonbut in, “Iti dan ham? man gangtah in nahin vaidoh loijen in ka chapa atile aman jong adonbut in Pakai na Pathen in gangtah a eihin lolhin sah ahi bouve,” ati.
And again Isaac said to his son, “How were you able to find it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “It was the will of God, so that what I sought met with me quickly.”
21 Hichun Isaac in Jacob henga, “Hung ki khin nai jin katham phah thei nadin, nangma hi ka chapa Esau nahi mong nam nahi lou ham na jutle tem inge.
And Isaac said, “Come here, so that I may touch you, my son, and may prove whether you are my son Esau, or not.”
22 Hijeh chun Jacob in apa Isaac anailut in ahile ahin jutle tan ahi, a awso hila Jacob awso ahin, akhut teni vang hi Esau khut ahi ngal in atin ahi.
He approached his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: “The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob. But the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Amavang Jacob ahi chu ahetchen thei lou ahitai, ajeh chu Jacob khut chu a upa Esau khut tobanga mul ahijeh'in hichun Isaac chun Jacob chu phatthei abohtan ahi.
And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,
24 Isaac in adong pha kit leuvin, “Nangma hi kachapa Esau nahi mong hinam? atile, Jacob in adonbut in “Ka hinai,” ati.
he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
25 Chuphat in Isaac in aseiye, “Ka henga hindom naitan nangma phatthei kaboh thei na dingin kachapan gangtah a naga mat sa na hon chu ne ing kate,” ati, chuin Jacob in ahin doppeh phat in anen chule lengpitwi jong ahin dop peh in ahile Isaac chun adon tai.
Then he said, “Bring me the foods from your hunting, my son, so that my soul may bless you.” And when he had eaten what was offered, he also brought forth wine for him. And after he finished it,
26 Hichun apa Isaac chun ajah a “eihin nailut in lang neihin bengchop tem in ka chapa,” atile,
he said to him, “Come to me and give me a kiss, my son.”
27 Jacob'in anai phei jin apa chu abengchop tai, chuin Isaac kivonna ho gimnam chu anah le len chuin achapa chu phatthei aboh in hitin aseiye, “Vetan kachapa gimnam hi Pakai phatthei bohsa gamlah gimnam abang'e.
He approached and kissed him. And immediately he perceived the fragrance of his garments. And so, blessing him, he said: “Behold, the smell of my son is like the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord has blessed.
28 Tun Pakai Pathen in vana kon in daitwi na chap jing hen, leiset'a leipha lai lai nachan sah jing hen; chule chang le mim chule juning ninglhin sah jing hen.
May God give to you, from the dew of heaven and from the fatness of the earth, an abundance of grain and wine.
29 Nam simsen lou vin naja hen chule mihem tamtah nangma noija kun cheh hen lang, nasopi ho chunga vai hin hom jing in lang; nanu sunga peng doh pasal jouse jong na henga kun cheh uhen. Nangma na gaosapte chu gaosap chang hen, chule nangma phatthei na bohte chu phattheiboh chang hen!” ati.
And may the peoples serve you, and may the tribes reverence you. May you be the lord of your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down before you. Whoever curses you, may he be cursed, and whoever blesses you, may he be filled with blessings.”
30 Isaac in Jacob phatthei aboh chai chai jin; Jacob in apa angsung agah dalhah ding kon chet in a upa Esau chu agam lena a kon in ahung lhung pai jeng tai.
Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.
31 Chuin Esau in jong nehding a althet in ahon peh in apa henga ahin dop peh apa jah a aseitai. “Hepa hung kithou in lang na hai hai pet'a phatthei neiboh na ding in na chapa thasa hi hung ne o!” ati.
And he brought his father foods cooked from his hunting, saying, “Arise, my father, and eat from your son’s hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
32 Ahin Isaac in adonbut in, “Nang koi nahim? Esau in adonbut in, “Na chapa apeng masa Esau kahi,” ati.
And Isaac said to him, “But who are you?” And he answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”
33 Isaac hatah in ati akithing tan aseiye, “Koiham Ijo langa hin dom a hung achu, keiman ama hin dop chu kana ne tai. Nangma hung lhun masang jep chun phatthei jong ka boh jou tai; phatthei na jouse jong ama achang jou tai.”
Isaac became frightened and very astonished. And wondering beyond what can be believed, he said: “Then who is he that a while ago brought me the prey from his hunting, from which I ate, before you arrived? And I blessed him, and he will be blessed.”
34 Chuin Esau in apa thusei jouse chu angai chai sohhel phat'in Esau jong ha kan akap'in hatah in alunghang in apa komma atao kit'in, “Hepa keima jong phatthei nei boh teitei in ong,” ati.
Esau, having heard his father’s words, roared out with a great outcry. And, being confounded, he said, “But bless me also, my father.”
35 Hinlah Isaac in aseiye, “Na sopipa ahung in eihung lhem lha tai, nang phatthei na chan ding jouse nalah peh gam tai.”
And he said, “Your twin came deceitfully, and he received your blessing.”
36 Esau in adonbut in, “Hiche jeh a chu amin Jacob kisah hitei jinte ong? Ajeh chu aman nivei jen eilhep lhah ahitai, phat masa in ka upat hina eina lah peh in, tun ka phatthei chan ding ana kilah doh kit e, atin hichun keiya dinga phatthei khat beh jong neina khen pehlou hitam?” atile.
But he responded: “Justly is his name called Jacob. For he has supplanted me yet another time. My birthright he took away before, and now, this second time, he has stolen my blessing.” And again, he said to his father, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me also?”
37 Isaac in Esau adonbut in, “keiman Jacob chu nangma chunga vaihom ding in ka koi tai, chule asopite jouse ama noija kun cheh diu, chule chang le mim ahin, juning ahin, haothei na jong kapeh ahitai, tua hijat nunga nangma ipi kabolpeh thei nahlai ding ham kachapa?” atitai.
Isaac answered: “I have appointed him as your lord, and I have subjugated all his brothers as his servants. I have reinforced him with grain and wine, and after this, my son, what more shall I do for you?”
38 Ahi vang'in Esau in apa jah a “O hepa phatthei na khat chabeh jong umlou hitam? phatthei neiboh teitei yin ong Hepa!” atin apeng in akap tai.
And Esau said to him: “Have you only one blessing, father? I beg you, bless me also.” And when he wept with a loud wail,
39 Chuin apa Isaac in ahoupin ajah a “Nangma leichung phalou lah lah a cheng ding na hitan, chule van daitwi in jong hin chap khata ponte.
Isaac was moved, and he said to him: “In the fatness of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
40 Nangma na chemjam a naki vahding chule na sopipa noija na um ding ahin nangma na hung ki- ondoh teng vangleh nangong chang'a kona ama namkol chu na pai lhah ding ahi tai,” ati.
will your blessing be. You will live by the sword, and you will serve your brother. But the time will arrive when you will shake off and release his yoke from your neck.”
41 Hiche phat a pat chun Esau in Jacob chu hatah in ahin vetda pan ahi tai; ajeh chu apa Isaac in phatthei na jouse Jacob aboh jeh ahi. Chule Esau in alung thim sunga hitin agel tan, “Kapa hin nikho jong hi sotta pon tin a kichai teng le keiman ka naopa Jacob hi ka tha ding ahi,” ati.
Therefore, Esau always hated Jacob, for the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And he said in his heart, “The days will arrive for the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Ahin achapa alenjo Esau lungthim tohgon jouse chu Rebekah jah a aki seidoh khatan ahin Rebekah in mi asol'in achapa neojopa Jacob chu aga kousah in ajah a asei pehtai, “Ngaiyin na upa Esau khun nang thana ding in lungthim tohgon anei tai,
These things were reported to Rebekah. And sending and calling for her son Jacob, she said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau is threatening to kill you.
43 Chapa chingthei tah in ngai jin, tun kigong inlang kasopipa Laban kom Haran langa jam tan.
Therefore, now my son, listen to my voice. Rise up and flee to my brother Laban, in Haran.
44 Hiche mun achun ni ejat hijong leh ga umtan na upa Esau lungdam kahsen.
And you will dwell with him for a few days, until the fury of your brother subsides,
45 Ama ahung lungdam a nabolset naho asuhmil hel'a ahung lungdam mong mong teng leh keiman mi hinsol ing ting nahung holdoh sah nang'e. Nang ni ucha nikhat a na manthah lhon ding ka nompoi.
and his indignation ceases, and he forgets the things that you have done to him. After this, I will send for you and bring you from there to here. Why should I be bereaved of both my sons in one day?”
46 Hichun Rebekah in Isaac komma aseiye, “Keiman hiche Hit mite numei ho kathei chim behset jeng tai, Ijem tin Jacob in hiche numei ho jin ahin kipui kit ding ka gel thei poi kathi lo tei ding ahi,” ati.
And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob accepts a wife from the stock of this land, I would not be willing to live.”
