創世記 27
1 依撒格年紀已老，雙目失明，看不見了，遂叫了他的大兒厄撒烏來，對他說：「我兒! 」他回答說：「我在這裏。」
When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 他說：「你看，我已年老，不知道那天就死。
He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.
3 現在你拿器械、箭囊和弓，往田間去打點獵物，
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
4 照我的嗜好給我作成美味，拿來給我吃，好叫我在未死以前祝福你。」
Make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 依撒格對他的兒子厄撒烏說這話時，黎貝加聽見了。厄撒烏就到田間去給父親打獵，
Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 黎貝加對自己的兒子雅各伯說：「我聽見你父親對你哥哥厄撒烏說：
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
7 你去給我打點獵物來，作成美味，叫我吃了，好在死前當著上主的面祝福你。」
‘Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
8 現在，我兒，要聽從我吩咐你的話。
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9 到羊群裏去，給我拿兩隻肥美的小山羊來，我要照你父親的嗜好，給他作成美味，
Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savoury food for your father, such as he loves.
10 你端給父親吃，好叫他死前祝福你。」
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11 雅各伯對母親黎貝加說：「但是我哥哥渾身是毛，我卻皮膚光滑，
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 萬一我父親摸我，必以為我哄騙他，我必招來咒罵，而不是祝福。」
What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”
13 母親對他說：「我兒，咒罵歸於我，你只管聽我的話，去給我拿來。」
His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
14 他遂拿了來，交給了他的母親，他母親就照他父親的嗜好作成了美味。
He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
15 黎貝加又將家中所存的大兒厄撒烏最好的衣服，給她小兒雅各伯穿上；
Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16 又用小山羊的皮，包在他的手上和他光滑的頸上，
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 然後將自己作好的美味和餅，放在他兒子雅各伯的手裏。
She gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 雅各伯來到他父親前說：「我父! 」他答說：「我在這裏! 我兒，你是誰﹖」
He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
19 雅各伯對父親說：「我是你長子厄撒烏。我已照你吩咐的作了。請坐起來，吃我作的野味，好祝福我。」
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”
20 依撒格對他兒子說：「我兒! 你怎麼這樣快就找著了﹖」雅各伯答說：「因為上主你的天主使我碰得好。」
Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because the LORD your God gave me success.”
21 依撒格對雅各伯說：「我兒! 你前來，讓我摸摸，看你是不是我兒厄撒烏﹖」
Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
22 雅各伯就走近他父親依撒格前；依撒格摸著他說：「聲音是雅各伯的聲音，手卻是厄撒烏的手。」
Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 依撒格沒有分辨出來，因為他的手，像他哥哥厄撒烏的手一樣有毛，就祝福了他。
He didn’t recognise him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 隨後說：「你真是我兒厄撒烏嗎﹖」雅各伯答說：「我是。」
He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
25 依撒格說：「我兒! 遞給我，叫我吃了你作的野味，好祝福你。」雅各伯於是遞過去，他吃了；又給他拿了酒來，他也喝了。
He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
26 他父親依撒烏就對他說：「我兒! 你前來吻我。」
His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
27 他就前去吻了父親。他父親一聞到他衣服上的香氣，就祝福他說：「看! 我兒子的香氣，像上主祝福的肥田的香氣。
He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
28 惟願天主賜與你天上的甘露，土地的肥沃，五穀美酒的豐裕!
God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 願眾民福事你，萬國叩拜你! 願你作你兄弟的主人，你母親的兒子叩拜你! 凡詛咒你的，必受詛咒；凡祝福你的，必受祝福。」
Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
30 依撒格一祝福了雅各伯，雅各伯剛由他父親依撒格面前出來，他哥哥厄撒烏打獵回來了。
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 他也作了美味，給他父親端來，對他父親說：「我父! 請起來吃，你兒預備的野味，好祝福我。」
He also made savoury food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”
32 他父親依撒格對他說：「你是誰﹖」他答說：「我是你兒，你長子厄撒烏。」
Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 依撒格不禁戰慄起來，驚問說：「那麼，是誰打了獵物給我送了來﹖並且在你未來以前，我已吃了，已祝福了他；他從此必蒙祝福。」
Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
34 厄撒烏一聽見他父親說出這話，就放聲哀號，對他父親說：「我父，請你也祝福我! 」
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
35 父親答說：「你弟弟用詭計來奪去了你的祝福。」
He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
36 厄撒烏說：「他不是名叫雅各伯嗎﹖他已兩次欺騙了我：以前奪去了我長子的名分，現在又奪去了我的祝福。」繼而問說：「你沒有給我留下祝福嗎﹖」
He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”
37 依撒格回答厄撒烏說：「看，我已立他作你的主人，將所有的兄弟都給他作僕人，將五穀美酒都供給他了。我兒，我還能為你作什麼﹖」
Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
38 厄撒烏對父親說：「我父，你只有一個祝福嗎﹖我父，你也得祝福我。」厄撒烏就放聲大哭。
Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 他父親依撒格回答他說：「看，你住的地方必缺乏肥沃的土地，天上的甘露。
Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
40 你要憑仗刀劍生活，要服事你的弟弟；但你一強盛起來，將由你的頸上擺脫他的束縛。」
You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
41 厄撒烏因為他父親祝福了雅各伯，便懷恨雅各伯，心下思念說「為父親居喪的日期已近，到時我必要殺死我弟弟雅各伯。」
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 有人告訴了黎貝加他大兒子厄撒烏所說的話；她便派人叫了她小兒雅各伯來，對他說：「看，你哥哥厄撒烏想要殺你洩恨。
The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 現在，我兒! 你得聽我的話，起身逃往哈蘭我哥哥拉班那裏去，
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 與他住些時日，直到你哥哥忿怒消失了。
Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
45 幾時你哥哥對你息了怒，忘了你對他作的事，我就派人去，從那裏接你回來。為什麼我在一日內要喪失你們兩個人呢﹖」
until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
46 黎貝加就對依撒格說：「為了這兩個赫特女人，我厭惡得要死；假使雅各伯也從這地的女人中娶一個像這樣的赫特女人為妻，我還活著做什麼﹖」
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
