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.”
Isaac estaba viejo y se estaba quedando ciego. Así que llamó a su hijo mayor Esaú, diciendo: “Hijo mío”. Y Esaú contestó: “Aquí estoy”.
2 He said, “See now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
“Ya estoy viejo”, dijo Isaac, “Es posible que muera pronto.
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
Así que toma tu arco y tus flechas, ve a cazar y tráeme algo de carne.
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.”
Prepárame una comida de buen sabor para que yo coma, y para bendecirte antes de morir”.
5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Rebeca escuchó lo que Isaac le dijo a Esaú. Así que cuando Esaú se fue al campo a buscar carne de caza,
6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
Rebeca le dijo a su hijo Jacob: “¡Escucha! Acabo de oír a tu padre decirle a tu hermano,
7 ‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
‘Tráeme carne de caza y prepárame una buena comida de buen sabor para comer y bendecirte en presencia del Señor antes de morir’.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
Ahora, hijo, escúchame y haz exactamente lo que yo te diré.
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.
Ve al rebaño y tráeme dos cabras jóvenes. Yo las cocinaré y prepararé la comida de buen sabor que a tu padre más le gusta.
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
Entonces se la llevarás a tu padre para comer, para que te bendiga en la presencia del Señor antes de morir”.
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
“Pero escucha”, le respondió Jacob a su madre Rebeca, “mi hermano Esaú es un hombre velludo, y yo soy lampiño.
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.”
De pronto mi padre se dará cuenta cuando me toque. Entonces parecerá como que lo estoy engañando y en lugar de bendición, recibiré una maldición”.
13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
“Que la maldición caiga sobre mí, hijo mío”, respondió su madre. “Solo haz lo que te digo. Ve y tráeme las cabras jóvenes”.
14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
Así que Jacob fue a buscarlas y las trajo para su madre, y ella preparó una comida de buen sabor, tal como le gustaba a su padre.
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.
Entonces Rebeca fue y tomó la mejor ropa de su hijo mayor Esaú que ella tenía en su casa, y se la puso a Jacob, su hijo menor.
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
Y puso la piel de los corderos en sus manos, y en su cuello.
17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Entonces le entregó a su hijo Jacob la comida y el pan que había preparado.
18 He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
Jacob entró a ver a su padre, y lo llamó diciendo: “Padre mío, aquí estoy”. “¿Cuál de mis hijos eres?” preguntó Isaac.
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.”
“Soy Esaú, tu hijo mayor”, le dijo Jacob a su padre. “Hice lo que me pediste. Por favor, siéntate y come la carne de caza que hice para ti, para que puedas bendecirme”.
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.”
“¿Cómo pudiste encontrar tan rápido a un animal, hijo mío?” le preguntó Isaac. “Es porque el Señor lo envió para mí”, respondió Jacob.
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
“Ven aquí para que pueda tocarte, hijo mío”, le dijo Isaac a Jacob, “así sabré si eres en verdad Esaú”.
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.”
Así que Jacob se acercó a su padre Isaac, quien al tocarlo dijo: “Es la voz de Jacob, pero son las manos de Esaú”.
23 He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
Isaac no se dio cuenta de que era Jacob porque tenía las manos con vellos como Esaú, así que se preparó para bendecirlo.
24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
“En realidad eres tú mi hijo Esaú?” preguntó de nuevo. “Si, soy yo”, respondió Jacob.
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.
Entonces dijo: “Hijo mío, tráeme de la comida de caza que me has preparado para comer, y así podré darte mi bendición”. Así que Jacob trajo para su padre Isaac comida para comer y vino para beber.
26 His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
Después Isaac le dijo a Jacob: “Ven y bésame, hijo mío”.
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.
Entonces Jacob se inclinó y lo besó, e Isaac pudo oler la ropa que Jacob estaba usando. Así que procedió a darle su bendición, pensado para sí: “El olor de mi hijo es como el olor de un campo que el Señor ha bendecido”.
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
“¡Que Dios use el rocío del cielo y la tierra fértil para darte ricas cosechas de grano y vino nuevo!
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.”
Que los pueblos de distintas naciones te sirvan y se inclinen ante ti. Que todos los que te maldigan sean malditos, y que sean benditos todos los que te bendigan”.
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.
Después de que Isaac terminó de bendecir a Jacob—de hecho, Jacob ya se había ido de la presencia de su padre—Esaú regresó de su viaje de caza.
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.”
También había preparado una comida de buen sabor, y se la trajo a su padre. Entonces Esaúle dijo a Isaac, “Siéntate padre, y come de mi carne de caza para que puedas bendecirme”.
32 Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
“¿Quién eres?” le preguntó Isaac. “Soy tu hijo Esaú, tu primogénito”, respondió.
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.”
Isaac entonces comenzó a temblar y preguntó: “¿Quién fue el que se fue de cacería y me trajo la comida? Ya la comí toda antes de que llegaras y lo bendije. No puedo retirar su bendición ya”.
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.”
Cuando Esaú escuchó las palabras de su padre, gritó de rabia y amargura, y le rogó a su padre: “Por favor, bendíceme a mí también, padre!”
35 He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
Pero Isaac respondió: “Tu hermano vino y me engañó. ¡Él se ha robado tu bendición!”
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?”
“¡Con toda razón su nombre es Jacob, el impostor!” dijo Esaú. “Me ha engañado dos veces. ¡Primero se apropió de mi primogenitura y ahora se ha robado mi bendición! ¿No has guardado una bendición para mi?”
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?”
Entonces Isaac le contestó a Esaú: “Lo he hecho tu señor, y he dicho que todos sus parientes serán sus siervos. He declarado que no le faltará el grano ni el nuevo vino. ¿Qué puedo dejar para ti, hijo mío?”
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.
“¿Acaso solo tienes una bendición, padre mío?” preguntó Esaú. “¡Por favor bendíceme a mi también!” Entonces Esaú comenzó a llorar a gritos.
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.
Entonces su padre Isaac declaró: “¡Escucha, hijo! Vivirás lejos de la tierra fértil, lejos del rocío que cae del cielo.
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.”
Te ganarás el sustento con espada, y serás el siervo de tu hermano. Pero cuando te rebeles, quitarás su yugo de tu cuello”.
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.”
Desde entonces Esaú sintió odio hacia Jacob, por causa de la bendición de su padre. Esaú se dijo a sí mismo: “Pronto llegará el tiempo en que lamentaré la muerte de mi padre. ¡Y entonces mataré a mi hermano Jacob!”
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.
Sin embargo, Rebeca escuchó lo que había dicho Esaú, y mandó a llamar a Jacob. “Mira”, le dijo, “tu hermano Esaú siente consuelo en hacer planes de matarte.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
Así que, escúchame atentamente, hijo mío, lo que te voy a decir. Vete inmediatamente a donde mi hermano Labán en Arám.
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
Quédate con él hasta que la rabia de tu hermano se calme.
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?”
Cuando esté en calma y se le olvide, yo te mandaré a buscar de nuevo. Porque no quisiera perderlos a los dos en un solo día”
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?”
Entonces Rebeca fue y le dijo a Isaac: “Estoy cansada de estas mujeres hititas. ¡Están arruinando mi vida! ¡Prefiero morir antes de que Jacob llegue a casarse con una mujer hitita como ellas, una de esas habitantes locales!”
