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。”
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 他说：“我如今老了，不知道哪一天死。
He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know 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，
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
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 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 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。
Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
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：
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, 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 me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
8 现在，我儿，你要照着我所吩咐你的，听从我的话。
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command 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。
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 你拿到你父亲那里给他吃，使他在未死之先给你祝福。”
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless 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；
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother 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。”
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 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。”
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 got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savoury food, such as his father 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，
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 又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和颈项的光滑处，
She put the skins of the young 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。
She gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, 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？”
He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “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。”
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 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。”
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 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。”
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。”
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 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；
He didn’t recognise him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 又说：“你真是我儿子以扫吗？”他说：“我是。”
He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “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。
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 他父亲以撒对他说：“我儿，你上前来与我亲嘴。”
His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, 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。
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 愿 神赐你天上的甘露， 地上的肥土， 并许多五谷新酒。
God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new 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。
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 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，
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 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。”
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 他父亲以撒对他说：“你是谁？”他说：“我是你的长子以扫。”
Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “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。”
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 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 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 以撒说：“你兄弟已经用诡计来将你的福分夺去了。”
He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away 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？”
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 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 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 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。
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 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。
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 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 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。
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 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, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 同他住些日子，直等你哥哥的怒气消了。
Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
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 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 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？”
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?”
