创世记 27
1 以撒年老，眼睛昏花，不能看见，就叫了他大儿子以扫来，说：“我儿。”以扫说：“我在这里。”
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 他说：“我如今老了，不知道哪一天死。
And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.
3 现在拿你的器械，就是箭囊和弓，往田野去为我打猎，
Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,
4 照我所爱的做成美味，拿来给我吃，使我在未死之先给你祝福。”
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 以撒对他儿子以扫说话，利百加也听见了。以扫往田野去打猎，要得野味带来。
And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment,
6 利百加就对她儿子雅各说：“我听见你父亲对你哥哥以扫说：
She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:
7 ‘你去把野兽带来，做成美味给我吃，我好在未死之先，在耶和华面前给你祝福。’
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 现在，我儿，你要照着我所吩咐你的，听从我的话。
Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:
9 你到羊群里去，给我拿两只肥山羊羔来，我便照你父亲所爱的给他做成美味。
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 你拿到你父亲那里给他吃，使他在未死之先给你祝福。”
Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
11 雅各对他母亲利百加说：“我哥哥以扫浑身是有毛的，我身上是光滑的；
And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
12 倘若我父亲摸着我，必以我为欺哄人的，我就招咒诅，不得祝福。”
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 他母亲对他说：“我儿，你招的咒诅归到我身上；你只管听我的话，去把羊羔给我拿来。”
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 他便去拿来，交给他母亲；他母亲就照他父亲所爱的做成美味。
He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.
15 利百加又把家里所存大儿子以扫上好的衣服给她小儿子雅各穿上，
And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:
16 又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和颈项的光滑处，
And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.
17 就把所做的美味和饼交在她儿子雅各的手里。
And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.
18 雅各到他父亲那里说：“我父亲！”他说：“我在这里。我儿，你是谁？”
Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?
19 雅各对他父亲说：“我是你的长子以扫；我已照你所吩咐我的行了。请起来坐着，吃我的野味，好给我祝福。”
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 以撒对他儿子说：“我儿，你如何找得这么快呢？”他说：“因为耶和华—你的 神使我遇见好机会得着的。”
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 以撒对雅各说：“我儿，你近前来，我摸摸你，知道你真是我的儿子以扫不是。”
And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.
22 雅各就挨近他父亲以撒。以撒摸着他，说：“声音是雅各的声音，手却是以扫的手。”
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 以撒就辨不出他来；因为他手上有毛，像他哥哥以扫的手一样，就给他祝福；
And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,
24 又说：“你真是我儿子以扫吗？”他说：“我是。”
He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.
25 以撒说：“你递给我，我好吃我儿子的野味，给你祝福。”雅各就递给他，他便吃了，又拿酒给他，他也喝了。
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 他父亲以撒对他说：“我儿，你上前来与我亲嘴。”
He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.
27 他就上前与父亲亲嘴。他父亲一闻他衣服上的香气，就给他祝福，说： 我儿的香气 如同耶和华赐福之田地的香气一样。
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 愿 神赐你天上的甘露， 地上的肥土， 并许多五谷新酒。
God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.
29 愿多民事奉你， 多国跪拜你。 愿你作你弟兄的主； 你母亲的儿子向你跪拜。 凡咒诅你的，愿他受咒诅； 为你祝福的，愿他蒙福。
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 以撒为雅各祝福已毕，雅各从他父亲那里才出来，他哥哥以扫正打猎回来，
Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,
31 也做了美味，拿来给他父亲，说：“请父亲起来，吃你儿子的野味，好给我祝福。”
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 他父亲以撒对他说：“你是谁？”他说：“我是你的长子以扫。”
And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.
33 以撒就大大地战兢，说：“你未来之先，是谁得了野味拿来给我呢？我已经吃了，为他祝福；他将来也必蒙福。”
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 以扫听了他父亲的话，就放声痛哭，说：“我父啊，求你也为我祝福！”
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 以撒说：“你兄弟已经用诡计来将你的福分夺去了。”
And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.
36 以扫说：“他名雅各，岂不是正对吗？因为他欺骗了我两次：他从前夺了我长子的名分，你看，他现在又夺了我的福分。”以扫又说：“你没有留下为我可祝的福吗？”
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 以撒回答以扫说：“我已立他为你的主，使他的弟兄都给他作仆人，并赐他五谷新酒可以养生。我儿，现在我还能为你做什么呢？”
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 以扫对他父亲说：“父啊，你只有一样可祝的福吗？我父啊，求你也为我祝福！”以扫就放声而哭。
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 他父亲以撒说： 地上的肥土必为你所住； 天上的甘露必为你所得。
Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
40 你必倚靠刀剑度日， 又必事奉你的兄弟； 到你强盛的时候， 必从你颈项上挣开他的轭。
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 以扫因他父亲给雅各祝的福，就怨恨雅各，心里说：“为我父亲居丧的日子近了，到那时候，我要杀我的兄弟雅各。”
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 有人把利百加大儿子以扫的话告诉利百加，她就打发人去，叫了她小儿子雅各来，对他说：“你哥哥以扫想要杀你，报仇雪恨。
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 现在，我儿，你要听我的话：起来，逃往哈兰、我哥哥拉班那里去，
Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:
44 同他住些日子，直等你哥哥的怒气消了。
And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,
45 你哥哥向你消了怒气，忘了你向他所做的事，我便打发人去把你从那里带回来。为什么一日丧你们二人呢？”
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 利百加对以撒说：“我因这赫人的女子连性命都厌烦了；倘若雅各也娶赫人的女子为妻，像这些一样，我活着还有什么益处呢？”
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.
