Genesis 27
1 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.
Tedae Isaak te a patong vaengah a mik hmang tih tueng pa pawh. Te vaengah a capa a ham Esau te a khue tih, “Ka capa,” a ti nah hatah a taengah, “Kai ni he,” a ti nah.
2 “Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
Te phoeiah, “Ka patong coeng tih ka dueknah khohnin khaw ka ming moenih he.
3 Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
Te dongah na hnopai, na liva neh na lii te lo laeh. Te phoeiah pong ah cet lamtah kai ham lampu sakah han yuep laeh.
4 Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
Te phoeiah ka ngaih vanbangla kai ham antui saii lamtah ka taengla han khuen. Ka ca saeh lamtah ka hinglu loh ka duek hlan ah nang te yoethen kan pae eh?,” a ti nah.
5 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,
Isaak loh a capa Esau taengah a thui vaengah Rebekah loh a yaak. Te dongah Esau tah pong ah maeh loh ham saa yuep la cet.
6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
Te vaengah Rebekah loh a capa Jakob te a uen tih, “Na pa loh na maya Esau te a voek coeng ne.
7 ‘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.’
'Sakah te kai taengah han khuen lamtah kai ham antui saii laeh. Te phoeiah ka ca saeh lamtah ka duek hlan ah BOEIPA hmuh ah nang yoethen kan pae eh,’ a ti nah te ka yaak coeng he.
8 Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
Te dongah ka ca, kai loh nang kan uen bangla ka ol he ngai laeh.
9 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.
Boiva taengla cet lamtah maae ca a then panit te kamah taengla han khuen laeh. Te phoeiah na pa ham a ngaih bangla antui ka saii eh.
10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
Te phoeiah na pa taengla khuen lamtah ca saeh. Te nen te a duek hlan ah nang te yoethen m'paesaeh,” a ti nah.
11 Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
Tedae Jakob loh a manu Rebekah taengah, “Ka maya Esau tah mulsui hlang tih kai tah sahnal hlang ni he.
12 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.”
A pa loh kai te m'phatuem khaming, a mik ah laithae la ka om vetih kai soah rhunkhuennah thoeng koinih yoethennah moenih,” a ti nah.
13 His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
Tedae a manu loh anih taengah, “Ka capa nang sokah rhunkhuennah te kai soah tla saeh. Kai ol he duem ngai laeh. Te dongah cet lamtah kamah taengla hang khuen,” a ti nah.
14 So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
Te dongah cet tih a loh phoeiah a manu taengla a khuen. Te vaengah a manu loh a napa kah a ngaih bangla antui a saii pah.
15 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.
Te phoeiah Rebekah loh a capa a ham Esau kah himbai then te, im ah a loh tih a ca noe Jakob te a bai sak.
16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Te phoeiah maae ca kah a vin te a kut neh a rhawn kah a sahnal soah a dah pah.
17 Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
Te phoeiah antui neh buh a saii te a capa Jakob kut ah a doe.
18 So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
Te phoeiah a napa taengla cet tih, “A pa,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni he, ka ca nang he unim?” a ti nah.
19 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.”
Tedae Jakob loh a napa taengah, “Kai he na caming Esau ni. Kai taengah nan thui bangla ka saii coeng. Thoo lamtah, ngol laeh. Ka sakah he ca lamtah na hinglu loh kai he yoethen paek saeh,” a ti nah.
20 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.
Tedae Isaak loh a capa te, “Ka ca metlam lae hekah he koe na hmuh lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Na Pathen BOEIPA loh kai ham a thoeng sak dongah ni,” a ti nah.
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
Te dongah Isaak loh Jakob te, “Bet ha thoeih lamtah ka ca nang te, ka ca Esau taktak neh taktak pawt a khaw kan yam lah eh,” a ti nah.
22 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.”
Te dongah Jakob loh a napa Isaak taengla thoeih tih a phatuem vaengah, “Ol tah Jakob ol dae a kut tah Esau kut,” a ti nah.
23 Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
Tedae a kut te a maya Esau kut phek, mulsui la a om dongah anih te hmat pawt tih yoethen a paek.
24 Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
Te vaengah, “Nang he ka ca Esau taktak a?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah.
25 “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.
Te dongah, “Kai taengla han thoeih lamtah ka ca kah sakah te ka ca eh. Ka hinglu loh nang yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah a taengla a thoeih pah. Te vaengah a caak phoeiah misurtui khaw a khuen pah tih a ok.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
Te phoeiah a napa Isaak loh anih te, “Ka ca bet ha thoeih lamtah kai m'mok,” a ti nah.
27 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.
Te dongah thoeih tih a mok. Te vaengah a himbai bo te a him pah tih yoethen a paek. Te phoeiah, “So lah, ka capa bo he, BOEIPA loh yoethen a paek khohmuen bo bangla om.
28 May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
Te dongah Pathen loh nang taengah vaan lamkah buemtui khaw, diklai khuehtawn khaw, cangpai cungkuem neh misur thai khaw m'pae saeh.
29 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.”
Pilnam rhoek loh nang taengah thotat uh saeh lamtah, namtu loh nang taengah bakuep khaw bakuep saeh. Na pacaboeina rhoek taengah boei la om lamtah na manu ca rhoek loh nang taengah bakop uh saeh. Nang thae aka phoei thil tah thaephoei thil saeh. Nang yoethen aka pae te yoethen pae saeh,” a ti nah.
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
Tedae Isaak loh Jakob yoethen a paek te a khah van neh Jakob tah a napa Isaak mikhmuh lamloh nong tih vawl cet. Te phoeiah a maya Esau te a sakah nah lamkah tloep pai.
31 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.”
Anih long khaw antui a saii van tih a napa taengla a khuen. Te phoeiah a napa te, “A pa thoo lamtah na capa kah sakah he ca laeh. Na hinglu loh kai yoethen m'pae saeh,” a ti nah.
32 But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
Tedae anih te a napa Isaak loh, “Nang ulae?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai, na capa na caming Esau ni,” a ti nah.
33 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!”
Te dongah Isaak tah thuennah neh a nah la mat lakueng tih, “Saa a yuep phoeiah kai taengla aka khuen te ulae? Na lo hlan ah boeih ka caak tih anih te yoethen ka paek dongah a yoethen ngawn coeng,” a ti nah.
34 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!”
Esau loh a napa kah olka te a yaak tih a len la pangngawlnah neh hluthlut mat pang. A napa taengah, “A pa, kai khaw yoethen m'pae,” a ti nah.
35 But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
Tedae, “Na mana te thailatnah neh halo tih nang kah yoethennah a loh coeng,” a ti nah.
36 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?”
Te dongah Esau loh, “A ming khaw Jakob la a khue pai. Te dongah ni a pabae la kai n'rhim tih kai kah caminghamsum te a loh. Te phoeiah kai kah yoethennah a loh coeng he,” a ti. Te phoeiah, “Kai ham tah yoethennah na paih pawt nim?,” a ti nah.
37 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?”
Tedae Isaak loh Esau te a doo tih, “Anih te nang soah boei la ka khueh coeng ne. Te dongah a pacaboeina boeih te a taengah sal la ka paek. Te phoeiah cangpai neh misur thai khaw anih ka pang sak coeng. Te dongah ka ca nang ham balae ka saii bal eh?,” a ti nah.
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
Tedae Esau loh a napa taengah, “a pa na taengkah yoethennah te pakhat khaw ta? Kai khaw yoethen m'pae van saw a pa,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Esau loh a ol te a huel tih rhap.
39 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.
Te dongah a napa Isaak loh anih te a doo tih, “Diklai kah khuehtawn neh vaan dong sosang lamkah buemtui loh namah tolrhum ah om bitni ne.
40 You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
Na cunghang neh na hing vetih na mana taengah na thotat ni. Tedae na van van neh na rhawn dongkah a hnamkun te na bawt bitni,” a ti nah.
41 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.”
Tedae a napa kah yoethennah te anih te yoethen a paek dongah Esau loh Jakob taengah a konaeh. Te dongah Esau loh a lungbuei khuiah,” A pa kah nguekcoinah tue yoei, ka mana Jakob te ka ngawn ni,” a ti.
42 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.
Tedae a capa a ham Esau kah olka te Rebekah taengah a puen pah. Te dongah a capa a noe Jakob te a tah tih a khue sak. Te phoeiah amah taengah, “Na maya Esau loh nang ngawn daengah ni nang ham dam a ti eh ne.
43 So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
Te dongah ka ca, kai ol he ngai laeh. Thoo lamtah Haran ah ka nganpa Laban taengla namah yong laeh.
44 Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
Na maya kah kosi a mael hil hnin at khaw anih taengla khosa mai.
45 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?”
Na maya loh nang taengkah thintoek te mael tih anih taengah na saii te a hnilh phoeiah kan tah vetih te lamkah nang kan loh bitni. Balae tih nangmih rhoi khaw hnin at ah kan hlong eh?” a ti nah.
46 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?”
Te dongah Rebekah loh Isaak taengah, “Kheth nu mikhmuh ah ka hingnah loh a mueipuel. Amih Kheth nu bang tolrhum kah huta te Jakob loh a yuu la lo koinih kai kah hingnah he metlam a om eh?,” a ti nah.
