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。」
And it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, 'My son;' and he saith unto him, 'Here [am] I.'
2 他說：「你看，我已年老，不知道那天就死。
And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
3 現在你拿器械、箭囊和弓，往田間去打點獵物，
and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
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。」
and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee 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，
And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision — to bring in;
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：
and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, 'Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy 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 for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
8 現在，我兒，要聽從我吩咐你的話。
'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:
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, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;
10 你端給父親吃，好叫他死前祝福你。」
and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee 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，
And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, 'Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I 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。」
it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, 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。」
and his mother saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take 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。
And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath 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；
and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put 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，
and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put 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。
and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
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﹖」
And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, 'My father;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I; who [art] thou, 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。」
And Jacob saith unto his father, 'I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth 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。」
And Isaac saith unto his son, 'What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, 'That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come before me.'
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﹖」
And Isaac saith unto Jacob, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, 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。」
And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, 'The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands 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。
And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,
24 隨後說：「你真是我兒厄撒烏嗎﹖」雅各伯答說：「我是。」
and saith, 'Thou art he — my son Esau?' and he saith, '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。
And he saith, 'Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son's provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;' and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.
26 他父親依撒烏就對他說：「我兒! 你前來吻我。」
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, 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。
and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, 'See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath 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!
and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and 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。」
peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.'
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。
And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come 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。」
and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, 'Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth 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。」
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Who [art] thou?' and he saith, 'I [am] thy son, thy first-born, 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。」
and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, 'Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? — yea, blessed is he.'
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 heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, 'Bless me, me also, O my father;'
35 父親答說：「你弟弟用詭計來奪去了你的祝福。」
and he saith, 'Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy 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﹖」
And he saith, 'Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he saith also, 'Hast thou not kept back 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﹖」
And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, 'Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, 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。
And Esau saith unto his father, 'One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
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。
And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, 'Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens 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。」
and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy 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。」
And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, 'The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.'
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。
And the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, 'Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee — to slay thee;
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，
and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,
44 與他住些時日，直到你哥哥忿怒消失了。
and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,
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﹖」
till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same 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﹖」
And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, 'I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these — from the daughters of the land — why do I live?'
