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。”
And it comes to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calls [for] his older son Esau and says to him, “My son”; and he says to him, “Here I [am].”
2 他说：“我如今老了，不知道哪一天死。
And he says, “Now behold, I have become aged, I have not known 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，
and now, please take up your instruments, your quiver, and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt provision for me,
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。”
and make tasteful things for me, [such] as I have loved, and bring [them] to me, and I eat, so that my soul blesses you 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 Rebekah is listening while Isaac is speaking to his son Esau; and Esau goes to the field to hunt game—to bring in;
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：
and Rebekah has spoken to her son Jacob, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,
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 game for me, and make tasteful things for me, and I eat, and bless you before YHWH before my death.
8 现在，我儿，你要照着我所吩咐你的，听从我的话。
And now, my son, listen to my voice, to that which I am commanding you:
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。
Now go to the flock, and take for me two good kids of the goats from there, and I make them tasteful things for your father, [such] as he has loved;
10 你拿到你父亲那里给他吃，使他在未死之先给你祝福。”
and you have taken [them] to your father, and he has eaten, so that his soul blesses you before his death.”
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 Jacob says to his mother Rebekah, “Behold, my brother Esau [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man,
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。”
it may be my father feels me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought on me disapproval, and not 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 says to him, “On me your disapproval, my son; only listen to my voice, and go, take for me.”
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。
And he goes, and takes, and brings to his mother, and his mother makes tasteful things, [such] as his father has loved;
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 Rebekah takes the desirable garments of Esau her older son, which [are] with her in the house, and puts them on Jacob her younger son;
16 又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和颈项的光滑处，
and she has put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth 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 gives the tasteful things, and the bread which she has made, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 雅各到他父亲那里说：“我父亲！”他说：“我在这里。我儿，你是谁？”
And he comes to his father and says, “My father”; and he says, “Here I [am]; who [are] you, 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 says to his father, “I [am] Esau your firstborn; I have done as you have spoken to me; please rise, sit and eat of my game, so that your soul blesses 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 says to his son, “What [is] this you have hurried to find, my son?” And he says, “That which your God YHWH has caused to come before me.”
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 says to Jacob, “Please come near, and I feel you, my son, whether you [are] he, 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。”
And Jacob comes near to his father Isaac, and he feels him, and says, “The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands 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 has not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of his brother Esau, and he blesses him,
24 又说：“你真是我儿子以扫吗？”他说：“我是。”
and says, “You are he—my son Esau?” And he says, “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。
And he says, “Bring [it] near to me, and I eat of my son’s game, so that my soul blesses you”; and he brings [it] near to him, and he eats; and he brings wine to him, and he drinks.
26 他父亲以撒对他说：“我儿，你上前来与我亲嘴。”
And his father Isaac says to him, “Please come near and kiss me, 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。
and he comes near, and kisses him, and he smells the fragrance of his garments, and blesses him, and says, “See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which YHWH has blessed;
28 愿 神赐你天上的甘露， 地上的肥土， 并许多五谷新酒。
and God gives to you of the dew of the heavens, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain 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。
peoples serve you, and nations bow themselves to you, be mighty over your brothers, and the sons of your mother bow themselves to you; those who curse you [are] cursed, and those who bless you [are] blessed.”
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，
And it comes to pass, as Isaac has finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of his father Isaac, that his brother Esau has come in from his hunting;
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 he also makes tasteful things, and brings to his father, and says to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s game, so that your soul blesses me.”
32 他父亲以撒对他说：“你是谁？”他说：“我是你的长子以扫。”
And his father Isaac says to him, “Who [are] you?” And he says, “I [am] your son, your firstborn, 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。”
and Isaac trembles a very great trembling and says, “Who, now, [is] he who has provided game, and brings to me, and I eat of all before you come in, and I bless him? Indeed, he is 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！”
When Esau hears the words of his father, then he cries a very great and bitter cry, and says to his father, “Bless me, me also, O 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 says, “Your brother has come with subtlety, and takes your 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？”
And he says, “Is it because he whose name is called Jacob takes me by the heel these two times? He has taken my birthright; and behold, now he has taken my blessing”; he also says, “Have you not kept back a blessing for me?”
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？”
And Isaac answers and says to Esau, “Behold, a mighty one have I set him over you, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants, and [with] grain and wine have I sustained him; and for you now, what will I do, 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 says to his father, “One blessing have you my father? Bless me, me also, O my father”; and Esau lifts up his voice, and weeps.
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。
And his father Isaac answers and says to him, “Behold, of the fatness of the earth is your dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens 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。
and by your sword you live, and your brother serves you; and it has come to pass, when you rule, that you have broken his yoke from off your 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。”
And Esau hates Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau says in his heart, “The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay 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。
And the words of Esau her older son are declared to Rebekah, and she sends and calls for Jacob her younger son, and says to him, “Behold, your brother Esau is comforting himself in regard to you—to slay you;
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，
and now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran,
44 同他住些日子，直等你哥哥的怒气消了。
and you have dwelt with him some days, until your brother’s fury turns back,
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？”
until your brother’s anger turns back from you, and he has forgotten that which you have done to him, and I have sent and taken you from there; why am I bereaved even of you both the same 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 Rebekah says to Isaac, “I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these—from the daughters of the land—why do I live?”
