Kamtawngnae 27
1 Hahoi, hettelah ao. Isak teh matawng toung dawkvah mithmu thai hoeh totouh a mitmawm hnukkhu, a capa kacue e Esaw hah a kaw teh ahni koevah, ka capa telah atipouh. Ahni ni hi vah ka o telah atipouh.
And it came to pass that Isaac, was old, and his eyes became too dim to see, so he called Esau his elder son and said unto him My son! And he said unto him, Behold me!
2 A na pa ni atu kai teh ka matawng toe. Na tueng maw ka due han ti hai ka panuek hoeh.
And he said, Behold, I pray thee, I am old, —I know not the day of my death.
3 Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi palabom hoi licung hah sin nateh kahrawng vah moi na ka pouh haw.
Now, therefore, take I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and catch for me game;
4 Ka due hoehnahlan yawhawi na poe thai nahanlah ka ngai e patetlah katuipoung lah na thawng pouh nateh ka ca hanlah kai koevah thokhai telah atipouh.
and make for me dainty meats, such as I love and bring in to me, that I may eat, —To the end my soul may bless thee, ere yet I die!
5 Isak ni a capa Esaw hoi lawk a kâpato roi e hah Rebekah ni a thai. Hatdawkvah, Esaw teh moi ka hanlah kahrawng vah a cei.
Now, Rebekah, was hearkening, when Isaac spake unto Esau his son, and Esau went his way to the field, to catch game, to bring in.
6 Rebekah ni a capa Jakop koevah, thai haw, na pa ni na hmau Esaw koevah,
Rebekah, therefore spake unto Jacob her son saying, —Lo! I heard thy father, speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 moi ka nateh ka due hoehnahlan ka ca vaiteh BAWIPA hmalah yawhawinae na poe thai nahanlah rawca katuipoung lah na thawng pouh haw telah a dei pouh e ka thai.
Bring in for me game and make for me dainty meats, that I may eat; and let me bless thee in the presence of Yahweh before my death.
8 Hatdawkvah, ka capa kai ni kâ na poe e patetlah na ngâi han.
Now, therefore my son, hearken unto my voice, —in that which I am commanding thee:
9 Atu saringnaw koe cet nateh haw e hmaeca kahawi e kahni touh kai koevah thokhai. Hottelah, na pa hanlah, ama ni a ngai e patetlah katuipoung lah na thawng pouh han.
Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and fetch me from thence two kids of the goats, fine ones, —that I may make of them dainty meats for thy father such as he loveth:
10 A due hoehnahlan yawhawinae na poe thai nahanlah a ca hane na pa koevah na ceikhai han telah atipouh.
Then shalt thou take them in unto thy father and he shall eat, —To the end he may bless thee before his death.
11 Jakop ni a manu Rebekah koevah, Khenhaw! ka hmau Esaw teh muen puk a tho, hatei, kai teh muen ka tawn hoeh.
And Jacob said unto Rebekah his mother, Lo! Esau my brother, is a hairy man, whereas, I, am a smooth man:
12 Apa ni na payam pawiteh, ahni ka dum e lah kaawm vaiteh, yawhawinae laipalah thoebonae koe kâhmo payon han na vaimoe telah a manu koe atipouh.
peradventure my father might feel me, then should I be in his eyes as one that mocketh, —and should bring upon myself a reproach, and not a blessing!
13 Hatei, a manu ni ahni koevah, na thoebonae teh kai dawk phat na seh. Ka dei e hah tarawi nateh na lat pouh haw telah atipouh.
And his mother said to him, Upon me, be thy reproach my son, —only hearken unto my voice and go fetch [them] for me.
14 Ahni ni a cei teh a la. A manu koe a poe teh a manu ni na pa ni ngai e patetlah a thawng pouh.
So he went, and fetched [them], and brought them in to his mother, and his mother made dainty meats, such as his father loved.
15 Rebekah ni a capa kacue Esaw e khohna kahawipoung e, im ahni koe kaawm hah a la teh, a capa kanaw Jakop hah a khohna sak.
Then took Rebekah the garments of Esau her elder son, the costly ones, which were with her in the house, —and put them on Jacob her younger son:
16 Hmae pho hah a kut hoi muen o hoeh nae lahuen dawk a bet pouh.
and the, skins of the kids of the goats, put she upon his hands, —and on the smooth part of his neck;
17 Hahoi, ka tuipoung lah thawng e hmae moi hoi vaiyei hah a capa Jakop koevah a poe.
then placed she the dainty meats and the bread, which she had made ready, in the hand of Jacob her son.
18 Hatdawkvah, na pa koe vah a cei teh, apa telah ati teh, a na pa ni hi vah ka o, ka capa, api nang maw telah a pacei.
So he went in unto his father, and said My father! And he said Behold me! who art, thou, my son?
19 Jakop ni a na pa koevah, na capa kacue Esaw doeh, na patoun e patetlah koung ka sak toe, pahren lahoi thaw nateh yawhawinae na poe thai nahanlah rawca heh cat leih telah atipouh.
And Jacob said unto his father I, am Esau thy firstborn, I have made ready, as thou didst bid me. Rise, I pray thee, sit up, and eat thou of my game, To the end thy soul may bless me.
20 Hatei, Isak ni a capa koevah, ka capa bangtelamaw telah karanglah na hmu thai telah atipouh. Ahni ni na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe dawk doeh telah atipouh.
Then said Isaac unto his son. How is it thou hast been so quick in finding, my son? And he said, Because Yahweh thy God caused it so to fall out before me.
21 Isak ni ka capa, na payam thai nahanlah pahren lahoi na hnai haw. Ka capa Esaw katang maw telah atipouh.
Then said Isaac unto Jacob. Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee my son—whether, thou thyself, art my son Esau, or not.
22 Jakop ni a na pa Isak teh a hnai. A na pa ni a payam teh na lawk teh Jakop e lawk doeh, a kut teh Esaw e a kut doeh telah ati.
So Jacob came near unto Isaac his father, and he felt him; then said he the voice is the voice of Jacob; But, the hands, are the hands of Esau.
23 A kut hah a hmau Esaw e kut patetlah muen a tho dawkvah, panuek thai laipalah yawhawinae a poe.
So he did not find him out, because, his hands were like the hands of Esau his brother hairy, —so he blessed him.
24 A na pa ni, ka capa Esaw nang ka tang maw telah atipouh. Ahni ni, Oe kai doeh telah atipouh.
And he said, Thou thyself, art my son Esau? And he said, I am!
25 Ahni ni, kai koe rek thokhai haw yawhawinae na poe thai nahanlah ka capa ni thokhai e moi teh ka ca hanlah telah ati. Hahoi, a hnai teh a ca. Misur hai a poe teh a nei.
So he said, Bring it near to me., that I may eat of the game of my son, To the end my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat, and he brought in to him wine, and he drank.
26 A na pa Isak ni ahni koevah, ka capa na hnai nateh na paco haw telah atipouh.
Then Isaac his father said unto him, —Come thou near I pray thee and kiss me my son.
27 Hatdawkvah, a hnai teh a paco Ahni ni khohna hmui hah a thai teh yawhawi a poe. Thaihaw! ka capa e hmui heh BAWIPA ni yawhawinae ram hmuitui patetlah ao roeroe.
So he came near, and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him, —and said. See! the smell of my son, As the smell of a field, which Yahweh hath blessed;
28 Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni kalvan e tadamtui thoseh, talai hawinae thoseh, cakang moikapap hoi misur moikapap na poe naseh.
Then, may God give thee of the dew of the heavens, And of the fatness of the earth, —And abundance of corn and new wine:
29 Miphunnaw ni na thaw tawk awh naseh, miphun hah na hmalah tabawk awh naseh. Na hmaunawnghanaw e bawi lah awm nateh, na manu e canaw na hmalah tabawk awh naseh. Thoe na ka bo naw pueng thoebo lah ao vaiteh yawhawinae na ka poe e pueng hah yawhawi awh naseh telah ati.
Let peoples serve thee And races bow down to thee, Become thou lord to thy brethren, And let the sons of thy mother bow down to thee, —He that curseth thee, be accursed! And he that blesseth thee, be blessed!
30 Hahoi, hettelah ao. Isak ni Jakop yawhawinae phouk a poe nah Jakop teh a na pa koehoi nueng a tâco tahma vah Esaw teh samram a ceinae koehoi a tho.
And it came to pass as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, —yea it came to pass when Jacob, had only just gone forth, from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother, came in from his hunting.
31 Ahni ni hai katuipoung lah a thawng van teh, a na pa koevah a thokhai. A na pa koevah, na hringnae ni yawhawi na poe nahanlah apa teh a thaw vaiteh, a capa ni thokhai e moi hah cat naseh telah ati.
Then, he too, made dainty meats, and brought in to his father, —and said to his father, Let my father rise that he may eat of the game of his son, To the end thy soul may bless me!
32 A na pa Isak ni ahni koevah, nang apimaw telah a pacei. Ahni ni na capa, na ca kacue Esaw doeh telah atipouh.
And Isaac his father said to him Who art, thou? And he said, I, am thy son thy firstborn, Esau.
33 Isak teh pueng hoi a pâyaw teh, moi ka hoi kai koe ka thokhai e teh apimaw. Nang na tho hoehnahlan ca vah koung ka ca teh yawhawi ka poe e hah teh api namaw. Ahni teh yawhawi lah ao roeroe han, telah ati.
Then did Isaac tremble with an exceeding great trembling, and said Who then was it that caught game and brought in to me and I did eat of all ere yet thou didst come in and I blessed him? Yea blessed, shall he remain!
34 Esaw ni a na pa e lawk dei e a thai navah, pueng hoi a ka teh a na pa koevah, Oe apa, kai hai, yawhawinae na poe telah atipouh.
When Esau heard the words of his father, then cried he out with an outcry loud and bitter exceedingly, —and said to his father, Bless even me also, O my father!
35 Hateiteh, a na pa ni na nawngha ni na dum teh na yawhawinae na la pouh toe telah atipouh.
Then he said, Thy brother came in with deceit, —and took away thy blessing.
36 Esaw ni a min lah Jakop tie heh ahman katang nahoehmaw. Kai heh vai hni touh na dum teh na tâ toe. Camin coungnae na lah pouh. Atu ka yawhawinae bout na la pouh telah ati. Ahni roeroe ni yawhawinae na tat pouh hoeh maw, telah ati.
And he said, Is it because his name, is called, Jacob, that he hath tricked me, now twice? My birthright, he took away, And lo! now, he hath taken away my blessing! And he said, Hast thou not reserved for me a blessing?
37 Isak ni Esaw koe vah, khenhaw! ahni teh na bawi lah ka coung sak teh a hmaunawnghanaw pueng hai a san lah koung ka poe toe. Cakang hoi misur hoi ka kawk toe. Ka capa nang hanlah bangmaw na sak pouh han telah atipouh.
Then answered Isaac and said to Esau, —Lo a lord, have I appointed him unto thee, And, all his brethren, have I given to him as servants, And with corn and new wine, have I sustained him, —And for thee—now, what can I do, my son?
38 Esaw ni a na pa koevah, apa yawhawinae buet touh dueng maw na tawn Oe apa kai hai yawhawi na poe lah telah ati. Hatdawkvah, Esaw teh ngawngngawng a ka.
And Esau said unto his father, But one blessing, hast thou, O my father? Bless, me also, O my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
39 A na pa Isak ni Esaw koevah, thai haw, na o nahane teh talai kahawi hoi kahlun lahoi tadamtui hoi a kâhla han.
Then answered Isaac his father and said unto him, —Lo! of the fat parts of the earth, shall be thy dwelling, And of the dew of the heavens, above;
40 Na tahloi hoi na kâkawk vaiteh na nawngha e thaw na tawk pouh han. Hahoi, hettelah ao han, kâhat laipalah na kâroe hnukkhu, a kahnam rui hah na lahuen dawk hoi a ling han telah atipouh.
And on thy sword, shalt thou live, And thy brother, shalt thou serve: But it shall come to pass when thou shalt rove at large, Then shalt thou break his yoke from off thy neck.
41 A na pa ni yawhawi a poe dawkvah Esaw ni Jakop hah a hmuhma teh a lung hoi apa ka khuinae hnin teh a hnai toe. Hat hnukkhu ka nawngha Jakop teh ka thei han telah ati.
And Esau lay in wait for Jacob, on account of the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him, —and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father draw near, when I can slay Jacob my brother.
42 A capa kacue Esaw ni a dei e lawk hah Rebekah koe a dei pouh awh. Rebekah ni a capa kanaw Jakop a kaw teh, thai haw, na hmau Esaw teh nang na thei to doeh a lungroum ti.
Then were told to Rebekah, the words of Esau her elder son, so she sent and called for Jacob, her younger son, and said unto him—Lo! Esau, thy brother, is consoling himself as touching thee, to slay thee.
43 Hatdawkvah, atu ka dei e hah ngai. Thaw nateh Haran vah ka thangroi Laban koe vah yawng,
Now, therefore, my son, hearken to my voice, —and rise flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 Na hmau a lungkhueknae a roum hoehroukrak thung teh haw vah awm ei.
And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, —until that the wrath of thy brother turn away:
45 Nange lathueng vah na hmau lungkhueknae a roum teh a lathueng vah na sak e heh a pahnim torei, tami ka patoun vaiteh na la sak han. Bangkongmaw hnin touh dawkvah nangmouh roi ka sung han telah ati.
until the turning away of the anger of thy brother from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him, and I send and fetch thee from thence. Wherefore should I lose, you both, in one day?
46 Rebekah ni Isak koevah, Heth canunaw kecu dawk kai hring hane ka ngai hoeh toe. Jakop ni hete ram dawk e canunaw patet e tami, a yu lah lat pawiteh, kai ka hringnae aphu bangmaw kaawm han toung telah atipouh.
So then Rebekah said unto Isaac, I am disgusted with my life because of the daughters of Heth, —Should Jacob be taking a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these, of the daughters of the land, wherefore could I wish for life?
