Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
| وَلَمَّا شَاخَ إِسْحاقُ وَضَعُفَ بَصَرُهُ اسْتَدْعَى ابْنَهُ الأَكْبَرَ عِيسُو وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا بُنَيَّ، | ١ |
2 He said, “See now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
| هَا أَنَا قَدْ شِخْتُ وَلَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ مَتَى يَحِينُ يَوْمُ وَفَاتِي. | ٢ |
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
| فَالآنَ خُذْ عُدَّتَكَ: جُعْبَتَكَ وَقَوْسَكَ، وَامْضِ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَاقْتَنِصْ لِي صَيْداً. | ٣ |
4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”
| وَجَهِّزْ لِي طَعَاماً شَهِيًّا كَمَا أُحِبُّ وَائْتِنِي بِهِ لِآكُلَ، لِتُبَارِكَكَ نَفْسِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ». | ٤ |
5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
| وَسَمِعَتْ رِفْقَةُ حَدِيثَ إِسْحاقَ لابْنِهِ عِيسُو. فَعِنْدَمَا انْطَلَقَ عِيسُو إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ لِيَصْطَادَ صَيْداً وَيَأْتِيَ بِهِ. | ٥ |
6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
| قَالَتْ رِفْقَةُ لابْنِهَا يَعْقُوبَ: «سَمِعْتُ أَبَاكَ يَقُولُ لِعِيسُو أَخِيكَ: | ٦ |
7 ‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
| اقْتَنِصْ لِي صَيْداً، وَجَهِّزْ لِي أَطْعِمَةً شَهِيَّةً لِآكُلَ وَأُبَارِكَكَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ قَبْلَ مَوْتِي. | ٧ |
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
| وَالآنَ يَا بُنَيَّ أَطِعْ قَوْلِي فِي مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ، | ٨ |
9 Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
| وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى قَطِيعِ الْمَاشِيَةِ، وَاخْتَرْ جَدْيَيْنِ لأُجَهِّزَ لأَبِيكَ أَطْعِمَةً شَهِيَّةً كَمَا يُحِبُّ، | ٩ |
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
| تُقَدِّمُهَا لأَبِيكَ لِيَأْكُلَ، فَيُبَارِكَكَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ». | ١٠ |
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِرِفْقَةَ أُمِّهِ: «أَخِي عِيسُو رَجُلٌ أَشْعَرُ، وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ أَمْلَسُ. | ١١ |
12 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.”
| وَقَدْ يَجُسُّنِي أَبِي فَيَتَبَيَّنُ خِدَاعِي، وَأَسْتَجْلِبُ عَلَى نَفْسِي لَعْنَةً لَا بَرَكَةً». | ١٢ |
13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ: «لَعْنَتُكَ عَلَيَّ يَا بُنَيَّ، فَأَطِعْ قَوْلِي فَقَطْ، وَاذْهَبْ وَأَحْضِرِ الْجَدْيَيْنِ لِي». | ١٣ |
14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
| فَذَهَبَ وَاخْتَارَهُمَا وَأَحْضَرَهُمَا لأُمِّهِ، فَأَعَدَّتْ رِفْقَةُ الأَطْعِمَةَ الْمُطَيَّبَةَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ أَبُوهُ | ١٤ |
15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
| وَتَنَاوَلَتْ ثِيَابَ بِكْرِهَا عِيسُو الْفَاخِرَةَ الْمَوْجُودَةَ عِنْدَهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَلْبَسَتْ يَعْقُوبَ ابْنَهَا الأَصْغَرَ، | ١٥ |
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
| وَكَذَلِكَ غَطَّتْ يَدَيْهِ وَمَلاسَةَ عُنُقِهِ بِجِلْدِ الْجَدْيَيْنِ. | ١٦ |
17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
| وَأَعْطَتْهُ مَا أَعَدَّتْهُ مِنَ الأَطْعِمَةِ الشَّهِيَّةِ وَالْخُبْزِ. | ١٧ |
18 He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
| فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «نَعَمْ يَا ابْنِي، مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» | ١٨ |
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau 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.”
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «أَنَا عِيسُو بِكْرُكَ. وَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا طَلَبْتَ، وَالآنَ قُمْ وَاجْلِسْ وَكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِي حَتَّى تُبَارِكَنِي». | ١٩ |
20 Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because the LORD your God gave me success.”
| فَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: «كَيْفَ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَجِدَ صَيْداً بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ السُّرْعَةِ يَا وَلَدِي؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ يَسَّرَ لِي ذَلِكَ». | ٢٠ |
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
| وَقَالَ إِسْحاقُ: «اقْتَرِبْ مِنِّي لأَجُسَّكَ يَا ابْنِي لأَرَى إِنْ كُنْتَ حَقّاً ابْنِي عِيسُو أَمْ لا». | ٢١ |
22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
| فَدَنَا يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ أَبِيهِ إِسْحاقَ فَجَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: «الصَّوْتُ صَوْتُ يَعْقُوبَ، أَمَّا الْيَدَانِ فَهُمَا يَدَا عِيسُو». | ٢٢ |
23 He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
| وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ لأَنَّ يَدَيْهِ كَانَتَا مُشْعِرَتَيْنِ كَيَدَيْ أَخِيهِ عِيسُو، فَبَارَكَهُ، | ٢٣ |
24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
| وَسَأَلَ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ ابْنِي عِيسُو؟» فَأَجَابَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». | ٢٤ |
25 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.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ: «قَدِّمْ لِي مِنْ صَيْدِكَ حَتَّى آكُلَ وَأُبَارِكَكَ». فَأَحْضَرَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَيْهِ الطَّعَامَ فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ لَهُ خَمْراً فَشَرِبَ، | ٢٥ |
26 His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْحاقُ أَبُوهُ: «تَعَالَ وَقَبِّلْنِي يَا وَلَدِي». | ٢٦ |
27 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 the LORD has blessed.
| فَاقْتَرَبَ مِنْهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ، فَتَنَسَّمَ رَائِحَةَ ثِيَابِهِ وَبَارَكَهُ قَائِلاً: «هَا إِنَّ رَائِحَةَ ابْنِي كَرَائِحَةِ حَقْلٍ بَارَكَهُ الرَّبُّ، | ٢٧ |
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
| فَلْيُنْعِمْ عَلَيْكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ نَدَى السَّمَاءِ وَمِنْ خَيْرَاتِ الأَرْضِ، فَيُكَثِّرُ لَكَ الْحِنْطَةَ وَالْخَمْرَ. | ٢٨ |
29 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.”
| لِتَخْدُمْكَ الشُّعُوبُ، وَتَسْجُدْ لَكَ الْقَبَائِلُ، لِتَكُنْ سَيِّداً عَلَى إِخْوَتِكَ. وَبَنُو أُمِّكِ لَكَ يَنْحَنُونَ. وَلْيَكُنْ لاعِنُوكَ مَلْعُونِينَ، وَمُبَارِكُوكَ مُبَارَكِينَ». | ٢٩ |
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
| وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ إِسْحاقُ مِنْ مُبَارَكَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَخَرَجَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِيهِ، رَجَعَ عِيسُو مِنْ صَيْدِهِ، | ٣٠ |
31 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.”
| فَجَهَّزَ هُوَ أَيْضاً أَطْعِمَةً طَيِّبَةً وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ: «لِيَقُمْ أَبِي وَيَأْكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِ ابْنِهِ فَتُبَارِكَنِي نَفْسُكَ». | ٣١ |
32 Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
| فَقَالَ إِسْحاقُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ: «أَنَا ابْنُكَ بِكْرُكَ عِيسُو». | ٣٢ |
33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
| فَارْتَعَدَ إِسْحاقُ بِعُنْفٍ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُوَ إِذاً الَّذِي اصْطَادَ صَيْداً وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَكَلْتُ مِنَ الْكُلِّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ، وَبَارَكْتُهُ؟ وَحَقّاً يَكُونُ مُبَارَكاً». | ٣٣ |
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
| فَمَا إِنْ سَمِعَ عِيسُو كَلامَ أَبِيهِ حَتَّى أَطْلَقَ صَرْخَةً هَائِلَةً وَمُرَّةً جِدّاً وَقَالَ: «بَارِكْنِي أَنَا أَيْضاً يَا أَبِي». | ٣٤ |
35 He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
| فَأَجَابَ: «لَقَدْ مَكَرَ بِي أَخُوكَ وَسَلَبَ بَرَكَتَكَ». | ٣٥ |
36 He said, “Is not he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Have not you reserved a blessing for me?”
| فَقَالَ: «أَلَمْ يُدْعَ اسْمُهُ يَعْقُوبَ؟ لَقَدْ تَعَقَّبَنِي مَرَّتَيْنِ: أَخَذَ بَكُورِيَّتِي، وَهَا هُوَ يَسْلُبُنِي الآنَ بَرَكَتِي». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَا احْتَفَظْتَ لِي بِبَرَكَةٍ؟» | ٣٦ |
37 Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
| فَأَجَابَ إِسْحاقُ: «لَقَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ سَيِّداً لَكَ، وَصَيَّرْتُ جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ لَهْ خُدَّاماً، وَبِالْحِنْطَةِ وَالْخَمْرِ أَمْدَدْتُهُ. فَمَاذَا أَفْعَلُ لَكَ الآنَ يَا وَلَدِي؟». | ٣٧ |
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
| فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «أَلَكَ بَرَكَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَطْ يَا أَبِي؟ بَارِكْنِي أَنَا أَيْضاً يَا أَبِي». وَأَجْهَشَ عِيسُو بِالْبُكَاءِ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ. | ٣٨ |
39 Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
| فَأَجَابَهُ أَبُوهُ: «هَا مَسْكَنُكَ يَكُونُ فِي أَرْضٍ جَدْبَاءَ لَا يَهْطِلُ عَلَيْهَا نَدَى السَّمَاءِ. | ٣٩ |
40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
| بِسَيْفِكَ تَعِيشُ وَلأَخِيكَ تَكُونُ عَبْداً، وَلَكِنْ حِينَ تَجْمَحُ تُحَطِّمُ نِيرَهُ عَنْ عُنْقِكَ». | ٤٠ |
41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
| وَحَقَدَ عِيسُو عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا نَالَهُ مِنْ بَرَكَةِ أَبِيهِ. فَنَاجَى نَفْسَهُ: «قَرِيباً يَمُوتُ أَبِي، وَبَعْدَئِذٍ أَقْتُلُ أَخِي يَعْقُوبَ». | ٤١ |
42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
| فَبَلَغَ رِفْقَةَ وَعِيدُ عِيسُو ابْنِهَا الأَكْبَرِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ وَاسْتَدْعَتْ يَعْقُوبَ ابْنَهَا الأَصْغَرَ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «عِيسُو يُخَطِّطُ لِقَتْلِكَ. | ٤٢ |
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
| وَالآنَ يَا ابْنِي أَصْغِ لِقَوْلِي، وَقُمِ اهْرُبْ إِلَى أَخِي لابَانَ إِلَى حَارَانَ، | ٤٣ |
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
| وَامْكُثْ عِنْدَهُ أَيَّاماً قَلائِلَ رَيْثَمَا يَهْدَأُ سُخْطُ أَخِيكَ. | ٤٤ |
45 until your brother’s anger turns 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?”
| وَمَتَى سَكَنَ غَضَبُهُ وَنَسِيَ مَا صَنَعْتَ بِهِ، عِنْدَئِذٍ أَبْعَثُ إِلَيْكَ لِتَعُودَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. فَلِمَاذَا أُحْرَمُ مِنْكُمَا كِلَيْكُمَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ؟». | ٤٥ |
46 Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
| ثُمَّ قَالَتْ رِفْقَةُ لإِسْحاقَ: «قَدْ كَرِهْتُ حَيَاتِي مِنْ جَرَّاءِ الْبَنَاتِ الْحِثِّيَّاتِ، فَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنِ الْحِثِّيَّاتِ بَنَاتِ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الْمُمَاثِلاتِ لِزَوْجَتَيْ عِيسُو، فَإِنَّ مَوْتِي خَيْرٌ مِنْ حَيَاتِي». | ٤٦ |
