Chakruok 27
1 Kane Isaka oseti kendo wengene noseimore makoro ok nyal neno, noluongo Esau wuode makayo kendo owachone niya, “Wuoda.” Eka Esau nodwoke niya, “An ka.”
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” Esau replied.
2 Isaka nowacho niya, “Koro asedoko moti kendo ok angʼeyo ndalo thona.
“Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 Omiyo koro sani kaw gigi mag lweny kaka atungʼ kod asere kendo idhi e thim ikelna ring le.
Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
4 Tedna ringʼo mamit mana kaka ahero cha kendo ikelna mondo acham mondo mi amiyi gwethna kapok atho.”
Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
5 To Rebeka nochiko ite ka Isaka wuoyo gi wuode Esau. Kane Esau osewuok odhi e thim mondo odhi oneg le kendo okel,
Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
6 Rebeka nowacho ne Jakobo wuode niya, “Nawinjo ka wuonu wacho ni owadu Esau niya,
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7 ‘Kelna ring le kendo ilosna mamit mondo acham mondo agwedhi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kapok atho.’
‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
8 Koro wuoda chik iti malongʼo kendo tim gima awachoni.
Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
9 Dhiyo e kweth mag jamni kendo ikelna nyidiek ariyo mopugno, mondo mi atedne wuonu ringʼo mamit kaka ohero-cha.
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
10 Bangʼ mano iterne wuonu mondo ocham bangʼe ogwedhi kapok otho.”
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Jakobo nowacho ne Rebeka min mare niya, “Esau omera en ngʼat ma rayier an to an gi del mapoth
Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
12 Datim nangʼo ka diponi wuora omula? Donge abiro nenora ngʼama wuonde kendo biro kelona kwongʼ kar gweth.”
What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
13 Min Jakobo nonyise niya, “Wuoda, we mondo kwongʼno omaka, in to tim mana gima awacho; dhiyo kendo ikelnagi.”
His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
14 Omiyo Jakobo nodhi mokelo nyidiek mopugno ne min mare kendo noloso chiemo mamit mana kaka wuon-gi ohero.
So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
15 Eka Rebeka nokawo lewni mabeyo mag Esau wuode maduongʼ mane oyudo en-go e ot kendo ne orwako ne Jakobo wuode matin.
And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
16 Kendo Rebeka nokawo piende diego moumogo bede Jakobo kod ngʼute kuonde maonge yier.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 Eka nomiyo Jakobo wuode chiemo molos mamit kod kuon mane osetedo.
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
18 Jakobo nodhi ir wuon mare kendo owachone niya, “Wuora.” Eka Isaka nopenje niya, “Wuoda, to in ngʼa?”
So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
19 Jakobo nodwoko wuon mare niya, “An Esau wuodi makayo. Asetimo kaka ne inyisa. Yie ia malo ibed piny kendo icham ring le ma akeloni mondo mi igwedha.”
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”
20 Isaka nopenje niya, “To ne iyude piyo nade wuoda?” Nodwoke niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasaye nogwedha.”
But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
21 Eka Isaka nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Sud machiegni mondo mi amuli, wuoda, mondo mi angʼe adier ka in wuoda Esau koso.”
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
22 Jakobo nobedo machiegni gi wuon mare Isaka, mano mule kendo owachone niya, “Dwol to mar Jakobo, to lwedo to gin lwet Esau.”
So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Isaka ne ok nyal fwenye nikech lwetene ne rayier ka mag Esau owadgi, kuom mano nogwedhe.
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
24 “Bende in wuoda ma Esau adier?” Isaka nopenje. Eka Jakobo nodwoke ni, “Ee en an.”
Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
25 Eka nowacho niya, “Wuoda, koro kelna ring le mondo acham, mondo mi agwedhi.” Jakobo nokelone ringʼo mi ochamo bende nokelone divai mi omadho.
“Serve me,” said Isaac, “and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Eka Isaka wuon mare nowachone niya, “Bi ka wuoda mondo inyodha.”
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
27 Kuom mano nodhi ire ma onyodhe. Kane Isaka owinjo tik lepe, nogwedhe kendo owachone niya, “Ee, tik mar wuoda dungʼ mamit machalo gi tik mar puodho, ma Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho.
So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
28 Mad Nyasaye miyi koth moa e polo kod piny ma omewo kod cham mogundho, kod divai manyien.
May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
29 Mad oganda duto bed jotichni kendo ji duto omiyi duongʼ. Bed ruoth ewi oweteni duto kendo mad yawuot minu omiyi duongʼ. Ngʼato angʼata mokwedi mondo okwede kendo ngʼato angʼata mogwedhi nogwedhi.”
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
30 Bangʼ ka Isaka nosetieko gwedho Jakobo kendo Jakobo ne pok odhi mabor, to gikanyono Esau nochopo koa dwar.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
31 En bende noloso chiemo mamit kendo nokelo ne wuon mare. Eka Esau nowacho ne wuon mare niya, “Wuora, aa malo ibed piny mondo mi icham ringʼo malosoni kendo igwedha.”
He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32 Isaka wuon-gi nopenjo niya, “In ngʼa?” Nodwoke niya, “An Esau, wuodi makayo.”
But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
33 Isaka nobwok matek ahinya kendo owacho niya, “To kara macha ne en ngʼa, mane onego le kendo okelona? Nende achamo ringʼono kapok ibiro kendo agwedhe; kendo kuom adier asegwedhe.”
Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”
34 Kane Esau owinjo weche wuon mare, noywak malit ka en-gi mirima mager kowachone wuon mare niya, “Wuora, gwedha an bende!”
When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”
35 To nowachone niya, “Owadu nobiro mowuonda mi okawo gwethni.”
But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36 Esau nowacho niya, “Kara ma emomiyo nochake ni Jakobo? Osewuonda koro nyadiriyo: Nokawo duongʼ mar nywolna kendo koro okawo gwethna!” Eka Esau nopenjo wuon mare niya, “Bende gweth moro didongʼna?”
So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
37 Isaka nodwoko Esau niya, “Asekete ruodhi kendo wedene duto aseketo obed jotichne bende asegwedhe gi cham kod divai. Koro ere gima anyalo timoni wuoda?”
But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”
38 Esau nowacho ne wuon mare niya, “In mana kod gweth achiel kende wuora? Yie igwedha an bende!” Eka Esau noywak matek gi dwol maduongʼ.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
39 Wuon mare Isaka nodwoke niya, “Inidag e piny maonge mwandu, kendo motwo ma ok yud koth.
His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.
40 Ligangla ema nomiyi chiemo kendo inibed jatij owadu. To ka iyudo loch to iningʼanyne, kendo nia e bwo lochne.”
You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
41 Esau nomako sadha gi Jakobo nikech gweth mane wuon-gi osemiyo Jakobo. Nowacho e chunye niya, “ndalo mag tho wuora chiegni, bangʼe abiro nego Jakobo owadwa.”
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Kane Rebeka onyisi gima Esau wuode makayo paro timo, noluongo Jakobo wuode ma chogo kendo owachone niya, “Esau owadu nigi paro mar negi.”
When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.
43 Koro wuoda, tim gima awachoni: Ring idhi Haran ir Laban owadwa.
So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 Dak kode kuno mondi nyaka mirimb owadu dog chien.
Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
45 Ka mirimb owadu oserumo kuomi kendo wiye osewil gi gima ne itimone, to abiro oroni wach mondo iduog ia kuno. Ere gima omiyo yawuota ariyo ditho odiechiengʼ achiel?
until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 Eka Rebeka nowacho ne Isaka niya, “ajok gi ngima nikech nyi jo-Hiti-gi. Ka Jakobo bende nyalo kawo dhako mana kuom nyi jo-Hiti-gi, to owinjore atho.”
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
