Postanak 27
1 Ostarje Izak, vid mu se očinji gasio. Zato zovne svoga starijeg sina Ezava i reče mu: “Sine!” On mu odgovori: “Evo me!”
Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were cloudy, and so he was not able to see. And he called his elder son Esau, and he said to him, “My son?” And he responded, “Here I am.”
2 A on nastavi: “Vidiš, ostario sam, a ne znam dana svoje smrti.
His father said to him: “You see that I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 Zato uzmi svoju opremu, svoj tobolac i luk, pa idi u pustaru i ulovi mi divljači.
Take your weapons, the quiver and the bow, and go out. And when you have taken something by hunting,
4 Onda mi pripremi ukusan obrok, kako volim, te mi ga donesi da blagujem, pa da te mognem blagosloviti prije nego umrem.”
make from it a small meal for me, just as you know I like, and bring it, so that I may eat and my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 Rebeka je slušala dok je Izak govorio svome sinu Ezavu, i kad je Ezav otišao u pustaru da ulovi divljači svome ocu,
And when Rebekah had heard this, and he had gone out into the field to fulfill his father’s order,
6 Rebeka reče svome sinu Jakovu: “Upravo sam čula kako tvoj otac govori tvome bratu Ezavu:
she said to her son Jacob: “I heard your father speaking with your brother Esau, and saying to him,
7 'Donesi mi divljači te mi priredi ukusan obrok da blagujem pa da te pred licem Jahvinim blagoslovim prije nego umrem.'
‘Bring to me from your hunting, and make me foods, so that I may eat and bless you in the sight of the Lord before I die.’
8 A sad, sine moj, poslušaj me i učini kako ti naredim.
Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,
9 Otiđi k stadu i odande mi donesi dva lijepa kozleta, a ja ću od njih prirediti ukusan obrok tvome ocu, kako on voli.
and go straight to the flock, and bring me two of the best young goats, so that from them I may make meat for your father, such as he willingly eats.
10 Onda ti donesi svome ocu da jede te tebe mogne blagosloviti prije nego umre.”
Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Ali Jakov odgovori svojoj majci Rebeki: “E, ali moj je brat Ezav runjav, a ja sam bez dlaka!
He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
12 Možda me se moj otac dotakne te ću u njegovim očima ispasti varalicom i na se svaliti prokletstvo, a ne blagoslov.”
If my father should lay hands on me and perceive it, I am afraid lest he think me willing to mock him, and I will bring a curse upon myself, instead of a blessing.”
13 Ali njegova mu majka odgovori: “Sine moj, tvoje prokletstvo neka padne na mene! Samo ti mene poslušaj, otiđi i donesi!”
And his mother said to him: “Let this curse be upon me, my son. Yet listen to my voice, and go directly to bring what I said.”
14 Ode on, nađe i donese svojoj majci, a njegova majka priredi ukusan obrok, kako je njegov otac volio.
He went out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just as she knew his father liked.
15 Potom Rebeka uzme najljepše odijelo svoga starijeg sina Ezava što je u kući imala, pa u nj odjene svoga mlađeg sina Jakova.
And she clothed him with the very fine garments of Esau, which she had at home with her.
16 U kožu kozleta zamota mu ruke i goli dio vrata.
And she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.
17 Stavi zatim ukusan obrok i kruh što ga je pripravila na ruke svoga sina Jakova.
And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.
18 Ode on k ocu i reče: “Oče!” On odgovori: “Evo me. Koji si ti moj sin?”
When he had carried these in, he said, “My father?” And he answered, “I’m listening. Who are you, my son?”
19 A Jakov odgovori svome ocu: “Ja sam Ezav, tvoj prvorođenac; učinio sam kako si mi rekao. Sad ustaj, sjedi pa jedi moje lovine, da me onda mogneš blagosloviti.”
And Jacob said: “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you instructed me. Arise; sit and eat from my hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
20 Izak upita svoga sina: “Kako si tako brzo uspio, sine moj?” On odgovori: “Jer mi je Jahve, Bog tvoj, bio milostiv.”
And again Isaac said to his son, “How were you able to find it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “It was the will of God, so that what I sought met with me quickly.”
21 Potom Izak reče Jakovu: “Primakni se, sine moj, da opipam jesi li ti zbilja moj sin Ezav ili nisi.”
And Isaac said, “Come here, so that I may touch you, my son, and may prove whether you are my son Esau, or not.”
22 Jakov se primakne k svome ocu Izaku, koji ga opipa i reče: “Glas je Jakovljev, ali su ruke Ezavove.”
He approached 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 Nije ga prepoznao jer su mu ruke bile runjave kao i ruke njegova brata Ezava. Kad ga je htio blagosloviti,
And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,
24 upita još jednom: “Jesi li ti zaista moj sin Ezav?” Odgovori on: “Jesam.”
he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
25 Potom reče Izak: “Stavi preda me da blagujem lovine svoga sina pa da te blagoslovi duša moja.” Jakov ga posluži pa je jeo. Zatim mu donese i vina, pa je pio.
Then he said, “Bring me the foods from your hunting, my son, so that my soul may bless you.” And when he had eaten what was offered, he also brought forth wine for him. And after he finished it,
26 Poslije toga reče mu njegov otac Izak: “Primakni se, sine moj, i poljubi me!”
he said to him, “Come to me and give me a kiss, my son.”
27 Kad se primače i poljubi ga, Izak osjeti miris njegove odjeće pa ga blagoslovi: “Gle, miris sina mog nalik je mirisu polja koje Jahve blagoslovi.
He approached and kissed him. And immediately he perceived the fragrance of his garments. And so, blessing him, he said: “Behold, the smell of my son is like the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord has blessed.
28 Neka ti Bog daje rosu s neba i rodnost zemlje: izobilje žita i mladoga vina.
May God give to you, from the dew of heaven and from the fatness of the earth, an abundance of grain and wine.
29 Narodi ti služili, plemena ti se klanjala! Braćom svojom gospodari, nek sinci majke tvoje pred tobom padaju! Proklet bio tko tebe proklinje; blagoslovljen tko te blagoslivlje!”
And may the peoples serve you, and may the tribes reverence you. May you be the lord of your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down before you. Whoever curses you, may he be cursed, and whoever blesses you, may he be filled with blessings.”
30 Tek što se Jakov udaljio od svoga oca Izaka - pošto je Izak podijelio blagoslov Jakovu - njegov brat Ezav dođe iz lova.
Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.
31 I on priredi ukusan obrok i donese ga svome ocu. I reče svome ocu: “Ustani, oče moj, i blaguj od lovine svoga sina da me onda mogneš blagosloviti!”
And he brought his father foods cooked from his hunting, saying, “Arise, my father, and eat from your son’s hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
32 A njegov ga otac Izak zapita: “Tko si ti?” On odgovori: “Ja sam tvoj prvorođenac Ezav!”
And Isaac said to him, “But who are you?” And he answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”
33 Izak se silno prepadne: “Pa tko je onda bio onaj što je divljači ulovio i meni već donio? Blagovao sam je prije nego si ti došao; onoga sam blagoslovio i blagoslovljen će ostati.”
Isaac became frightened and very astonished. And wondering beyond what can be believed, he said: “Then who is he that a while ago brought me the prey from his hunting, from which I ate, before you arrived? And I blessed him, and he will be blessed.”
34 Kad je Ezav čuo riječi svoga oca, kriknu glasno i gorko zaplaka pa reče svome ocu: “I mene blagoslovi, oče!”
Esau, having heard his father’s words, roared out with a great outcry. And, being confounded, he said, “But bless me also, my father.”
35 A on odvrati: “Brat tvoj dođe na prijevaru i odnese tvoj blagoslov.”
And he said, “Your twin came deceitfully, and he received your blessing.”
36 “Zato valjda što mu je ime Jakov, dvaput me već prevario”, reče Ezav. “Oduzeo mi prvorodstvo, a sad mi evo oduze i blagoslov.” Onda doda: “Zar za me nisi sačuvao nikakva blagoslova?”
But he responded: “Justly is his name called Jacob. For he has supplanted me yet another time. My birthright he took away before, and now, this second time, he has stolen my blessing.” And again, he said to his father, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me also?”
37 Izak odgovori Ezavu: “Njega sam već postavio za tvoga gospodara; njemu sam svu njegovu braću predao za sluge; žitom sam ga i vinom opskrbio. A što sad za te mogu učiniti, sine moj?”
Isaac answered: “I have appointed him as your lord, and I have subjugated all his brothers as his servants. I have reinforced him with grain and wine, and after this, my son, what more shall I do for you?”
38 Ezav odgovori svome ocu: “Zar ti, oče, raspolažeš samo jednim blagoslovom? Blagoslovi i mene, oče moj!” Ezav jecaše na sav glas.
And Esau said to him: “Have you only one blessing, father? I beg you, bless me also.” And when he wept with a loud wail,
39 Tada otac njegov Izak progovori i reče: “Daleko od plodna tla dom tvoj će biti, daleko od rose s neba.
Isaac was moved, and he said to him: “In the fatness of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
40 Od mača svoga ćeš živjeti, brata svoga ćeš služiti. Ali jednom, kada se pobuniš, jaram ćeš njegov stresti sa svog vrata.”
will your blessing be. You will live by the sword, and you will serve your brother. But the time will arrive when you will shake off and release his yoke from your neck.”
41 Ezav zamrzi Jakova zbog blagoslova kojim ga je otac njegov blagoslovio pa reče u sebi: “Čim dođu dani žalosti za mojim ocem, ubit ću ja svoga brata Jakova.”
Therefore, Esau always hated Jacob, for the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And he said in his heart, “The days will arrive for the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Kada su Rebeki javili te riječi što ih je izrekao njezin stariji sin Ezav, zovne ona svoga mlađeg sina Jakova te mu reče: “Pazi! Brat ti se Ezav nosi mišlju kako će te ubiti.
These things were reported to Rebekah. And sending and calling for her son Jacob, she said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau is threatening to kill you.
43 Ali ti, sine moj, poslušaj mene: odmah bježi mome bratu Labanu u Haran.
Therefore, now my son, listen to my voice. Rise up and flee to my brother Laban, in Haran.
44 Ostani kod njega neko vrijeme, dok bijes brata tvoga na te jenja,
And you will dwell with him for a few days, until the fury of your brother subsides,
45 dok se srdžba brata tvoga odvrati od tebe te on zaboravi što si mu učinio. Ja ću onda po te poslati i odande te dovesti. Zašto da vas obojicu izgubim u jedan dan!”
and his indignation ceases, and he forgets the things that you have done to him. After this, I will send for you and bring you from there to here. Why should I be bereaved of both my sons in one day?”
46 Potom Rebeka reče Izaku: “Moj mi je život dosadio zbog ovih žena Hetitkinja. Ako se i Jakov oženi kojom kao što su ove urođenice, Hetitkinjom, što će mi onda život!”
And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob accepts a wife from the stock of this land, I would not be willing to live.”
