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 dim, and he could not see: and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him: My son? And he answered: Here I am.
2 “Ka chapa! Keima hi ateh kahi tai, Itih thiding kahim kasei thei tapoi,
And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not 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 thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing 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 me savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it, that I may eat: and my soul may bless thee 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 Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment,
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 thy father talking with Esau thy brother, 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 me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee 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.
Now, therefore, my son, follow 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 thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:
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.
Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
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.
And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother 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 shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse 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: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have 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, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such 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 put on him very good 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 the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his 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 savoury meat, and delivered him 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?”
Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, 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 thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy 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 Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way.
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 hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be 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 came near to 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 knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then 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: Art thou 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 meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk,
26 Hichun apa Isaac chun ajah a “eihin nailut in lang neihin bengchop tem in ka chapa,” atile,
He said to him: Come near 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 came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath 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.
God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn 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 let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother’s children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee 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.
Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,
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 brought in to his father meats made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son’s venison; that thy 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: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy 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 was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly: and wondering beyond what can be believed, said Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, and he shall 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 cry: and being in a great consternation, said: 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: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy 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 said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: my first birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing?
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 thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants: I have established him with corn and wine, and after this, what shall I do more for thee, my son?
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: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry,
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 being moved, said to him: In the fat 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.
Shall thy blessing be. Thou shalt live by the sword and shalt serve thy brother: and the time shall come, when thou shalt shake off and loose his yoke from thy 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.
Esau therefore always hated Jacob for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him: and he said in his heart: The days will come of 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 told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob her son, and said to him: Behold Esau thy brother threateneth to kill thee.
43 Chapa chingthei tah in ngai jin, tun kigong inlang kasopipa Laban kom Haran langa jam tan.
Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:
44 Hiche mun achun ni ejat hijong leh ga umtan na upa Esau lungdam kahsen.
And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,
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 cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived 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 Rebecca said to Isaac: I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the stock of this land, I choose not to live.
