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 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 A on nastavi: “Vidiš, ostario sam, a ne znam dana svoje smrti.
And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.
3 Zato uzmi svoju opremu, svoj tobolac i luk, pa idi u pustaru i ulovi mi divljači.
Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing 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 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 Rebeka je slušala dok je Izak govorio svome sinu Ezavu, i kad je Ezav otišao u pustaru da ulovi divljači svome ocu,
And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment,
6 Rebeka reče svome sinu Jakovu: “Upravo sam čula kako tvoj otac govori tvome bratu Ezavu:
She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, 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 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 A sad, sine moj, poslušaj me i učini kako ti naredim.
Now, therefore, my son, follow 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 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 Onda ti donesi svome ocu da jede te tebe mogne blagosloviti prije nego umre.”
Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
11 Ali Jakov odgovori svojoj majci Rebeki: “E, ali moj je brat Ezav runjav, a ja sam bez dlaka!
And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother 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 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 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: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.
14 Ode on, nađe i donese svojoj majci, a njegova majka priredi ukusan obrok, kako je njegov otac volio.
He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such 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 put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:
16 U kožu kozleta zamota mu ruke i goli dio vrata.
And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.
17 Stavi zatim ukusan obrok i kruh što ga je pripravila na ruke svoga sina Jakova.
And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.
18 Ode on k ocu i reče: “Oče!” On odgovori: “Evo me. Koji si ti moj sin?”
Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, 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 thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy 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 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 Potom Izak reče Jakovu: “Primakni se, sine moj, da opipam jesi li ti zbilja moj sin Ezav ili nisi.”
And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be 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 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 Nije ga prepoznao jer su mu ruke bile runjave kao i ruke njegova brata Ezava. Kad ga je htio blagosloviti,
And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,
24 upita još jednom: “Jesi li ti zaista moj sin Ezav?” Odgovori on: “Jesam.”
He said: Art thou 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 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 Poslije toga reče mu njegov otac Izak: “Primakni se, sine moj, i poljubi me!”
He said to him: Come near 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 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 Neka ti Bog daje rosu s neba i rodnost zemlje: izobilje žita i mladoga vina.
God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn 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 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 Tek što se Jakov udaljio od svoga oca Izaka - pošto je Izak podijelio blagoslov Jakovu - njegov brat Ezav dođe iz lova.
Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,
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 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 A njegov ga otac Izak zapita: “Tko si ti?” On odgovori: “Ja sam tvoj prvorođenac Ezav!”
And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy 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 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 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 cry: and being in a great consternation, said: Bless me also, my father.
35 A on odvrati: “Brat tvoj dođe na prijevaru i odnese tvoj blagoslov.”
And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy 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 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 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 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 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: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry,
39 Tada otac njegov Izak progovori i reče: “Daleko od plodna tla dom tvoj će biti, daleko od rose s neba.
Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat 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.”
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 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.”
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 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 told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob her son, and said to him: Behold Esau thy brother threateneth to kill thee.
43 Ali ti, sine moj, poslušaj mene: odmah bježi mome bratu Labanu u Haran.
Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:
44 Ostani kod njega neko vrijeme, dok bijes brata tvoga na te jenja,
And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,
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 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 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 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.
