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.”
And it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, 'My son;' and he saith unto him, 'Here [am] I.'
2 Isaka nowacho niya, “Koro asedoko moti kendo ok angʼeyo ndalo thona.
And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
3 Omiyo koro sani kaw gigi mag lweny kaka atungʼ kod asere kendo idhi e thim ikelna ring le.
and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
4 Tedna ringʼo mamit mana kaka ahero cha kendo ikelna mondo acham mondo mi amiyi gwethna kapok atho.”
and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee 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,
And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision — to bring in;
6 Rebeka nowacho ne Jakobo wuode niya, “Nawinjo ka wuonu wacho ni owadu Esau niya,
and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, 'Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 ‘Kelna ring le kendo ilosna mamit mondo acham mondo agwedhi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kapok atho.’
Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
8 Koro wuoda chik iti malongʼo kendo tim gima awachoni.
'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:
9 Dhiyo e kweth mag jamni kendo ikelna nyidiek ariyo mopugno, mondo mi atedne wuonu ringʼo mamit kaka ohero-cha.
Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;
10 Bangʼ mano iterne wuonu mondo ocham bangʼe ogwedhi kapok otho.”
and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.
11 Jakobo nowacho ne Rebeka min mare niya, “Esau omera en ngʼat ma rayier an to an gi del mapoth
And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, 'Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I a smooth man,
12 Datim nangʼo ka diponi wuora omula? Donge abiro nenora ngʼama wuonde kendo biro kelona kwongʼ kar gweth.”
it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, and not a blessing;'
13 Min Jakobo nonyise niya, “Wuoda, we mondo kwongʼno omaka, in to tim mana gima awacho; dhiyo kendo ikelnagi.”
and his mother saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.'
14 Omiyo Jakobo nodhi mokelo nyidiek mopugno ne min mare kendo noloso chiemo mamit mana kaka wuon-gi ohero.
And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath 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 taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;
16 Kendo Rebeka nokawo piende diego moumogo bede Jakobo kod ngʼute kuonde maonge yier.
and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
17 Eka nomiyo Jakobo wuode chiemo molos mamit kod kuon mane osetedo.
and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
18 Jakobo nodhi ir wuon mare kendo owachone niya, “Wuora.” Eka Isaka nopenje niya, “Wuoda, to in ngʼa?”
And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, 'My father;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I; who [art] thou, 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.”
And Jacob saith unto his father, 'I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
20 Isaka nopenje niya, “To ne iyude piyo nade wuoda?” Nodwoke niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasaye nogwedha.”
And Isaac saith unto his son, 'What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, 'That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come before me.'
21 Eka Isaka nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Sud machiegni mondo mi amuli, wuoda, mondo mi angʼe adier ka in wuoda Esau koso.”
And Isaac saith unto Jacob, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, 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.”
And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, 'The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.'
23 Isaka ne ok nyal fwenye nikech lwetene ne rayier ka mag Esau owadgi, kuom mano nogwedhe.
And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,
24 “Bende in wuoda ma Esau adier?” Isaka nopenje. Eka Jakobo nodwoke ni, “Ee en an.”
and saith, 'Thou art he — my son Esau?' and he saith, '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.
And he saith, 'Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son's provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;' and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.
26 Eka Isaka wuon mare nowachone niya, “Bi ka wuoda mondo inyodha.”
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, 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.
and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, 'See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath blessed;
28 Mad Nyasaye miyi koth moa e polo kod piny ma omewo kod cham mogundho, kod divai manyien.
and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and 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.”
peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.'
30 Bangʼ ka Isaka nosetieko gwedho Jakobo kendo Jakobo ne pok odhi mabor, to gikanyono Esau nochopo koa dwar.
And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come 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.”
and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, 'Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
32 Isaka wuon-gi nopenjo niya, “In ngʼa?” Nodwoke niya, “An Esau, wuodi makayo.”
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Who [art] thou?' and he saith, 'I [am] thy son, thy first-born, Esau;'
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.”
and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, 'Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? — yea, blessed is he.'
34 Kane Esau owinjo weche wuon mare, noywak malit ka en-gi mirima mager kowachone wuon mare niya, “Wuora, gwedha an bende!”
When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, 'Bless me, me also, O my father;'
35 To nowachone niya, “Owadu nobiro mowuonda mi okawo gwethni.”
and he saith, 'Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy 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?”
And he saith, 'Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he saith also, 'Hast thou not kept back 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?”
And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, 'Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, 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.
And Esau saith unto his father, 'One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
39 Wuon mare Isaka nodwoke niya, “Inidag e piny maonge mwandu, kendo motwo ma ok yud koth.
And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, 'Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above;
40 Ligangla ema nomiyi chiemo kendo inibed jatij owadu. To ka iyudo loch to iningʼanyne, kendo nia e bwo lochne.”
and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy 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.”
And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, 'The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.'
42 Kane Rebeka onyisi gima Esau wuode makayo paro timo, noluongo Jakobo wuode ma chogo kendo owachone niya, “Esau owadu nigi paro mar negi.”
And the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, 'Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee — to slay thee;
43 Koro wuoda, tim gima awachoni: Ring idhi Haran ir Laban owadwa.
and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,
44 Dak kode kuno mondi nyaka mirimb owadu dog chien.
and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,
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?
till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same 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.”
And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, 'I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these — from the daughters of the land — why do I live?'
