創世記 27
1 以撒年老，眼睛昏花，不能看見，就叫了他大兒子以掃來，說：「我兒。」以掃說：「我在這裏。」
And when Izhak was olde, and his eyes were dimme (so that he coulde not see) he called Esau his eldest sonne, and sayde vnto him, My sonne. And he answered him, I am here.
2 他說：「我如今老了，不知道哪一天死。
Then he sayd, Beholde, I am nowe olde, and knowe not the day of my death:
3 現在拿你的器械，就是箭囊和弓，往田野去為我打獵，
Wherefore nowe, I pray thee take thine instruments, thy quiuer and thy bowe, and get thee to the fielde, that thou mayest take mee some venison.
4 照我所愛的做成美味，拿來給我吃，使我在未死之先給你祝福。」
Then make mee sauourie meate, such as I loue, and bring it me that I may eat, and that my soule may blesse thee, before I die.
5 以撒對他兒子以掃說話，利百加也聽見了。以掃往田野去打獵，要得野味帶來。
(Nowe Rebekah heard, when Izhak spake to Esau his sonne) and Esau went into the fielde to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 利百加就對她兒子雅各說：「我聽見你父親對你哥哥以掃說：
Then Rebekah spake vnto Iaakob her sonne, saying, Beholde, I haue heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, saying,
7 『你去把野獸帶來，做成美味給我吃，我好在未死之先，在耶和華面前給你祝福。』
Bring mee vension, and make mee sauourie meate, that I may eate and blesse thee before the Lord, afore my death.
8 現在，我兒，你要照着我所吩咐你的，聽從我的話。
Nowe therefore, my sonne, heare my voyce in that which I command thee.
9 你到羊群裏去，給我拿兩隻肥山羊羔來，我便照你父親所愛的給他做成美味。
Get thee nowe to the flocke, and bring me thence two good kids of the goates, that I may make pleasant meate of them for thy father, such as he loueth.
10 你拿到你父親那裏給他吃，使他在未死之先給你祝福。」
Then shalt thou bring it to thy father, and he shall eate, to the intent that he may blesse thee before his death.
11 雅各對他母親利百加說：「我哥哥以掃渾身是有毛的，我身上是光滑的；
But Iaakob sayde to Rebekah his mother, Beholde, Esau my brother is rough, and I am smoothe.
12 倘若我父親摸着我，必以我為欺哄人的，我就招咒詛，不得祝福。」
My father may possibly feele me, and I shall seem to him to be a mocker: so shall I bring a curse vpon me, and not a blessing.
13 他母親對他說：「我兒，你招的咒詛歸到我身上；你只管聽我的話，去把羊羔給我拿來。」
But his mother sayd vnto him, vpon me be thy curse, my sonne: onely heare my voyce, and go and bring me them.
14 他便去拿來，交給他母親；他母親就照他父親所愛的做成美味。
So he went and set them, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made pleasant meat, such as his father loued.
15 利百加又把家裏所存大兒子以掃上好的衣服給她小兒子雅各穿上，
And Rebekah tooke faire clothes of her elder sonne Esau, which were in her house, and clothed Iaakob her yonger sonne:
16 又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和頸項的光滑處，
And she couered his hands and the smoothe of his necke with the skinnes of the kiddes of the goates.
17 就把所做的美味和餅交在她兒子雅各的手裏。
Afterward she put the pleasant meate and bread, which she had prepared, in the hand of her sonne Iaakob.
18 雅各到他父親那裏說：「我父親！」他說：「我在這裏。我兒，你是誰？」
And when he came to his father, he sayd, My father. Who answered, I am here: who art thou, my sonne?
19 雅各對他父親說：「我是你的長子以掃；我已照你所吩咐我的行了。請起來坐着，吃我的野味，好給我祝福。」
And Iaakob sayde to his father, I am Esau thy first borne, I haue done as thou badest me, arise, I pray thee: sit vp and eate of my venison, that thy soule may blesse me.
20 以撒對他兒子說：「我兒，你如何找得這麼快呢？」他說：「因為耶和華－你的上帝使我遇見好機會得着的。」
Then Izhak said vnto his sonne, Howe hast thou founde it so quickly my sonne? Who sayde, Because the Lord thy God brought it to mine hande.
21 以撒對雅各說：「我兒，你近前來，我摸摸你，知道你真是我的兒子以掃不是。」
Againe sayde Izhak vnto Iaakob, Come neere nowe, that I may feele thee, my sonne, whether thou be that my sonne Esau or not.
22 雅各就挨近他父親以撒。以撒摸着他，說：「聲音是雅各的聲音，手卻是以掃的手。」
Then Iaakob came neere to Izhak his father, and he felt him and sayd, The voyce is Iaakobs voyce, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 以撒就辨不出他來；因為他手上有毛，像他哥哥以掃的手一樣，就給他祝福；
(For he knewe him not, because his hands were rough as his brother Esaus hands: wherefore he blessed him)
24 又說：「你真是我兒子以掃嗎？」他說：「我是。」
Againe he sayd, Art thou that my sonne Esau? Who answered, Yea.
25 以撒說：「你遞給我，我好吃我兒子的野味，給你祝福。」雅各就遞給他，他便吃了，又拿酒給他，他也喝了。
Then said he, Bring it me hither, and I will eate of my sonnes venison, that my soule may blesse thee. And he brought it to him, and he ate: also he brought him wine, and he dranke.
26 他父親以撒對他說：「我兒，你上前來與我親嘴。」
Afterward his father Izhak sayd vnto him, Come neere nowe, and kisse me, my sonne.
27 他就上前與父親親嘴。他父親一聞他衣服上的香氣，就給他祝福，說： 我兒的香氣 如同耶和華賜福之田地的香氣一樣。
And hee came neere and kissed him. Then he smellled the sauour of his garmentes, and blessed him, and sayde, Behold, the smelll of my sonne is as the smelll of a fielde, which the Lord hath blessed.
28 願上帝賜你天上的甘露， 地上的肥土， 並許多五穀新酒。
God giue thee therefore of the dewe of heauen, and the fatnesse of the earth, and plentie of wheate and wine.
29 願多民事奉你， 多國跪拜你。 願你作你弟兄的主； 你母親的兒子向你跪拜。 凡咒詛你的，願他受咒詛； 為你祝福的，願他蒙福。
Let people bee thy seruantes, and nations bowe vnto thee: be Lord ouer thy brethren, and let thy mothers children honour thee. cursed be he that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
30 以撒為雅各祝福已畢，雅各從他父親那裏才出來，他哥哥以掃正打獵回來，
And when Izhak had made an ende of blessing Iaakob, and Iaakob was scarce gone out from the presence of Izhak his father, then came Esau his brother from his hunting,
31 也做了美味，拿來給他父親，說：「請父親起來，吃你兒子的野味，好給我祝福。」
And hee also prepared sauourie meate and brought it to his father, and sayd vnto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his sonnes venison, that thy soule may blesse me.
32 他父親以撒對他說：「你是誰？」他說：「我是你的長子以掃。」
But his father Izhak sayde vnto him, Who art thou? And he answered, I am thy sonne, euen thy first borne Esau.
33 以撒就大大地戰兢，說：「你未來之先，是誰得了野味拿來給我呢？我已經吃了，為他祝福；他將來也必蒙福。」
Then Izhak was stricken with a marueilous great feare, and sayde, Who and where is hee that hunted venison, and brought it mee, and I haue eate of all before thou camest? and I haue blessed him, therefore he shalbe blessed.
34 以掃聽了他父親的話，就放聲痛哭，說：「我父啊，求你也為我祝福！」
When Esau heard the wordes of his father, he cryed out with a great crye and bitter, out of measure, and sayde vnto his father, Blesse me, euen me also, my father.
35 以撒說：「你兄弟已經用詭計來將你的福分奪去了。」
Who answered, Thy brother came with subtiltie, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36 以掃說：「他名雅各，豈不是正對嗎？因為他欺騙了我兩次：他從前奪了我長子的名分，你看，他現在又奪了我的福分。」以掃又說：「你沒有留下為我可祝的福嗎？」
Then he sayde, Was hee not iustly called Iaakob? for hee hath deceiued mee these two times: he tooke my birthright, and loe, nowe hath he taken my blessing. Also he sayd, Hast thou not reserued a blessing for me?
37 以撒回答以掃說：「我已立他為你的主，使他的弟兄都給他作僕人，並賜他五穀新酒可以養生。我兒，現在我還能為你做甚麼呢？」
Then Izhak answered, and sayd vnto Esau, Beholde, I haue made him thy lorde, and all his brethre haue I made his seruants: also with wheate and wine haue I furnished him, and vnto thee now what shall I doe, my sonne?
38 以掃對他父親說：「父啊，你只有一樣可祝的福嗎？我父啊，求你也為我祝福！」以掃就放聲而哭。
Then Esau sayde vnto his father, Hast thou but one blessing my father? blesse mee, euen me also, my father: and Esau lifted vp his voyce, and wept.
39 他父親以撒說： 地上的肥土必為你所住； 天上的甘露必為你所得。
Then Izhak his father answered, and sayde vnto him, Behold, the fatnesse of the earth shall be thy dwelling place, and thou shalt haue of the dewe of heauen from aboue.
40 你必倚靠刀劍度日， 又必事奉你的兄弟； 到你強盛的時候， 必從你頸項上掙開他的軛。
And by thy sword shalt thou liue, and shalt be thy brothers seruant. But it shall come to passe, when thou shalt get the masterie, that thou shalt breake his yoke from thy necke.
41 以掃因他父親給雅各祝的福，就怨恨雅各，心裏說：「為我父親居喪的日子近了，到那時候，我要殺我的兄弟雅各。」
Therefore Esau hated Iaakob, because of the blessing, wherewith his father blessed him. And Esau thought in his minde, The dayes of mourning for my father will come shortly, then I will slay may brother Iaakob.
42 有人把利百加大兒子以掃的話告訴利百加，她就打發人去，叫了她小兒子雅各來，對他說：「你哥哥以掃想要殺你，報仇雪恨。
And it was told to Rebekah of the wordes of Esau her elder sonne, and shee sent and called Iaakob her yonger sonne, and sayd vnto him, Beholde, thy brother Esau is comforted against thee, meaning to kill thee:
43 現在，我兒，你要聽我的話：起來，逃往哈蘭、我哥哥拉班那裏去，
Now therefore my sonne, heare my voyce, arise, and flee thou to Haran to my brother Laban,
44 同他住些日子，直等你哥哥的怒氣消了。
And tarie with him a while vntill thy brothers fiercenesse be swaged,
45 你哥哥向你消了怒氣，忘了你向他所做的事，我便打發人去把你從那裏帶回來。為甚麼一日喪你們二人呢？」
And till thy brothers wrath turne away from thee, and hee forget the thinges, which thou hast done to him: then will I sende and take thee from thence: why shoulde I bee depriued of you both in one day?
46 利百加對以撒說：「我因這赫人的女子連性命都厭煩了；倘若雅各也娶赫人的女子為妻，像這些一樣，我活着還有甚麼益處呢？」
Also Rebekah said to Izhak, I am weary of my life, for the daughters of Heth. If Iaakob take a wife of the daughters of Heth like these of the daughters of the lande, what auaileth it me to liue?
