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 [Laughter] was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau [Hairy] his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 Isaka nowacho niya, “Koro asedoko moti kendo ok angʼeyo ndalo thona.
He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t 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.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.
4 Tedna ringʼo mamit mana kaka ahero cha kendo ikelna mondo acham mondo mi amiyi gwethna kapok atho.”
Make me savory food, such as I 'ahav ·affectionately love·, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul 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,
Rebekah [Securely bound] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· when Isaac [Laughter] spoke to Esau [Hairy] his son. Esau [Hairy] went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 Rebeka nowacho ne Jakobo wuode niya, “Nawinjo ka wuonu wacho ni owadu Esau niya,
Rebekah [Securely bound] spoke to Jacob [Supplanter] her son, saying, “Behold, I sh'ma ·heard obeyed· your father speak to Esau [Hairy] your brother, saying,

‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Adonai before my death.’
8 Koro wuoda chik iti malongʼo kendo tim gima awachoni.
Now therefore, my son, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice according to that which I enjoin you.
9 Dhiyo e kweth mag jamni kendo ikelna nyidiek ariyo mopugno, mondo mi atedne wuonu ringʼo mamit kaka ohero-cha.
Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good young goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he 'ahav ·affectionately loves·.
10 Bangʼ mano iterne wuonu mondo ocham bangʼe ogwedhi kapok otho.”
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11 Jakobo nowacho ne Rebeka min mare niya, “Esau omera en ngʼat ma rayier an to an gi del mapoth
Jacob [Supplanter] said to Rebekah [Securely bound] his mother, “Behold, Esau [Hairy] my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 Datim nangʼo ka diponi wuora omula? Donge abiro nenora ngʼama wuonde kendo biro kelona kwongʼ kar gweth.”
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 Min Jakobo nonyise niya, “Wuoda, we mondo kwongʼno omaka, in to tim mana gima awacho; dhiyo kendo ikelnagi.”
His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only sh'ma ·hear 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.
He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father 'ahav ·affectionately loved·.
15 Eka Rebeka nokawo lewni mabeyo mag Esau wuode maduongʼ mane oyudo en-go e ot kendo ne orwako ne Jakobo wuode matin.
Rebekah [Securely bound] took the good clothes of Esau [Hairy], her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob [Supplanter], her younger son.
16 Kendo Rebeka nokawo piende diego moumogo bede Jakobo kod ngʼute kuonde maonge yier.
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 Eka nomiyo Jakobo wuode chiemo molos mamit kod kuon mane osetedo.
She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob [Supplanter].
18 Jakobo nodhi ir wuon mare kendo owachone niya, “Wuora.” Eka Isaka nopenje niya, “Wuoda, to in ngʼa?”
He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who 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 [Supplanter] said to his father, “I am Esau [Hairy] 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 Isaka nopenje niya, “To ne iyude piyo nade wuoda?” Nodwoke niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasaye nogwedha.”
Isaac [Laughter] said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Adonai your God gave me success.”
21 Eka Isaka nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Sud machiegni mondo mi amuli, wuoda, mondo mi angʼe adier ka in wuoda Esau koso.”
Isaac [Laughter] said to Jacob [Supplanter], “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau [Hairy] 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.”
Jacob [Supplanter] went near to Isaac [Laughter] his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob [Supplanter]’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau [Hairy].”
23 Isaka ne ok nyal fwenye nikech lwetene ne rayier ka mag Esau owadgi, kuom mano nogwedhe.
He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau [Hairy]’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 “Bende in wuoda ma Esau adier?” Isaka nopenje. Eka Jakobo nodwoke ni, “Ee en an.”
He said, “Are you really my son Esau [Hairy]?” He said, “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.
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 Eka Isaka wuon mare nowachone niya, “Bi ka wuoda mondo inyodha.”
His father Isaac [Laughter] said to him, “Come near now, 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.
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 Adonai has blessed.
28 Mad Nyasaye miyi koth moa e polo kod piny ma omewo kod cham mogundho, kod divai manyien.
God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty 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.”
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 Bangʼ ka Isaka nosetieko gwedho Jakobo kendo Jakobo ne pok odhi mabor, to gikanyono Esau nochopo koa dwar.
As soon as Isaac [Laughter] had finished blessing Jacob [Supplanter], and Jacob [Supplanter] had just gone out from the presence of Isaac [Laughter] his father, Esau [Hairy] his brother came in from his hunting.
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 also made savory 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 Isaka wuon-gi nopenjo niya, “In ngʼa?” Nodwoke niya, “An Esau, wuodi makayo.”
Isaac [Laughter] his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau [Hairy].”
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 [Laughter] trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, 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 [Hairy] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
35 To nowachone niya, “Owadu nobiro mowuonda mi okawo gwethni.”
He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away 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?”
He said, “Is not he rightly named Jacob [Supplanter]? 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 Isaka nodwoko Esau niya, “Asekete ruodhi kendo wedene duto aseketo obed jotichne bende asegwedhe gi cham kod divai. Koro ere gima anyalo timoni wuoda?”
Isaac [Laughter] answered Esau [Hairy], “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I 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 [Hairy] said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau [Hairy] lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 Wuon mare Isaka nodwoke niya, “Inidag e piny maonge mwandu, kendo motwo ma ok yud koth.
Isaac [Laughter] his father answered him, “Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.
40 Ligangla ema nomiyi chiemo kendo inibed jatij owadu. To ka iyudo loch to iningʼanyne, kendo nia e bwo lochne.”
By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off 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 [Hairy] hated Jacob [Supplanter] because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau [Hairy] said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob [Supplanter].”
42 Kane Rebeka onyisi gima Esau wuode makayo paro timo, noluongo Jakobo wuode ma chogo kendo owachone niya, “Esau owadu nigi paro mar negi.”
The words of Esau [Hairy], her elder son, were told to Rebekah [Securely bound]. She sent and called Jacob [Supplanter], her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau [Hairy] comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 Koro wuoda, tim gima awachoni: Ring idhi Haran ir Laban owadwa.
Now therefore, my son, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Arise, flee to Laban [White], my brother, in Haran [Mountaineer].
44 Dak kode kuno mondi nyaka mirimb owadu dog chien.
Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away;
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 anger turn 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 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.”
Rebekah [Securely bound] said to Isaac [Laughter], “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth [Trembling fear]. If Jacob [Supplanter] takes a wife of the daughters of Heth [Trembling fear], such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
