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.
Yisihaaq dulloomee yeroo iji isaa arguu dadhabetti ilma isaa hangafa Esaawun ofitti waamee, “Yaa ilma koo” jedheen. Innis, “Kunoo asan jira” jedhee deebise.
2 “Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
Yisihaaq akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, ani dulloomeera; guyyaa duʼa koo hin beeku.
3 Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
Kanaafuu maaloo miʼa adamoo keetii jechuunis korojoo xiyya keetii fi iddaa kee qabadhuutii gara dirreetti baʼiitii bineensa naa adamsi.
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.”
Akka ani utuun hin duʼiniin dura si eebbisuuf, nyaata miʼaawaa gosa ani jaalladhu naa qopheessiitii akka ani nyaadhuuf naa dhiʼeessi.”
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,
Yommuu Yisihaaq ilma isaa Esaawutti dubbatetti Ribqaan ni dhaggeeffatti turte. Yeroo Esaawu bineensa adamsee fiduuf gara dirreetti gad baʼetti,
6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
Ribqaan ilma ishee Yaaqoobiin akkana jette; “Kunoo, ani utuu abbaan kee obboleessa kee Esaawutti dubbatuu dhagaʼeera;
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.’
innis, ‘Akka ani utuun hin duʼin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti si eebbisuuf bineensa adamsii fidiitii akka ani nyaadhuuf nyaata miʼaawu naa qopheessi’ jedheen.
8 Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
Egaa yaa ilma ko, akkuma ani si ajajutti dubbii koo dhagaʼi.
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.
Ani akkan abbaa keetiif akkuma inni jaallatutti nyaata miʼaawaa qopheessuuf gara bushaayee dhaqiitii ilmoolee reʼee filatamoo lama naa fidi.
10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
Akka inni nyaatee utuu hin duʼin si eebbisuuf abbaa keetiif nyaata dhiʼeessi.”
11 Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
Yaaqoobis haadha isaa Ribqaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, obboleessi koo Esaawu dabbasaaʼaa dha; ani garuu rifeensa hin qabu.
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.”
Yoo abbaan koo na qaqqabatee waan ani isa gowwoomse seʼe, ani qooda eebbaa abaarsa ofitti nan fida.”
13 His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
Haati isaa immoo, “Yaa ilma ko, abaarsi sun naaf haa taʼu; ati waanuma ani siin jedhe godhi; dhaqiitii reʼoota sana naa fidi” jetteen.
14 So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
Innis dhaqee ilmoolee reʼootaa sana qabee haadha isaatiif fide; isheen immoo akkuma abbaan isaa jaallatutti nyaata miʼaawu qopheessiteef.
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.
Ergasiis Ribqaan uffata Esaaw ilma ishee hangaftichaa kan ishee bira ture keessaa kan hunda irra bareedu fuutee Yaaqoob ilma ishee isa quxisuu sanatti uffifte.
16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Harka isaatii fi morma isaa iddoo rifeensa hin qabnetti gogaa reʼootaa uffifte.
17 Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
Ergasiis nyaata miʼaawaa fi buddeena qopheessitee turte sana ilma ishee Yaaqoobitti kennite.
18 So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
Innis gara abbaa isaa dhaqee, “Yaa abbaa koo” jedhe. Innis, “Yaa ilma ko, kunoo asan jira; ati eenyu?” jedhee deebise.
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.”
Yaaqoobis abbaa isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani Esaawu ilma kee isa hangafticha; akkuma ati natti himte sana godheera; akka na eebbiftuuf mee ol jedhiitii waan ani adamsee fide nyaadhu.”
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.
Yisihaaq ilma isaatiin, “Yaa ilma ko, akkamitti akkana daftee argatte?” jedhe. Yaaqoob immoo, “Waaqayyo Waaqa keetu na milkoomse” jedhee deebise.
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
Yisihaaqis Yaaqoobiin, “Akka ani si qaqqabadhee ilma koo Esaaw taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu kee beekuuf mee as dhiʼaadhu” jedhe.
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.”
Yaaqoobis abbaa isaa Yisihaaqitti dhiʼaate; abbaan isaas isa qaqqabatee, “Sagaleen kun sagalee Yaaqoob; harki kun garuu harka Esaawu” jedhe.
23 Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
Waan harki isaa akkuma harka Esaawu rifeensa qabuuf Yisihaaq gargar baasee isa beekuu hin dandeenye; kanaafuu isa eebbise.
24 Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
Innis, “Ati dhugumaan ilma koo Esaawuu?” jedhee gaafate. Inni immoo, “Eeyyee ani isuma” jedhee deebise.
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.
Yisihaaqis, “Yaa ilma ko, akka ani nyaadhee si eebbisuuf mee waan adamsitee fidde sana naa kenni” jedhe. Yaaqoob ni dhiʼeesseef; innis ni nyaate; daadhii wayiniis ni fideef; innis ni dhuge.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
Abbaan isaa Yisihaaqis, “Yaa ilma koo as kottuu na dhungadhu” jedheen.
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.
Innis itti dhiʼaatee isa dhungate. Yisihaaqis foolii wayyaa isaa suufee isa eebbise; akkanas jedhe; “Ilaa, fooliin ilma koo, akkuma foolii lafa qotiisaa Waaqayyo eebbisee ti.
28 May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
Waaqni fixeensa samii, lafa gabbataa, midhaanii fi wayinii akka malee baayʼatu siif haa kennu.
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.”
Saboonni si haa tajaajilan; uummannis siif haa sagadan. Obboloota kee irratti gooftaa taʼi; ilmaan haadha keetiis siif haa sagadan. Warri si abaaran haa abaaraman; warri si eebbisan immoo haa eebbifaman.”
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
Akkuma Yisihaaq Yaaqoobin eebbisee fixee Yaaqoob immoo fuula abbaa isaa fuula Yisihaaq duraa gad baʼeen, obboleessi isaa Esaawu adamoodhaa dhufee ol gale.
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.”
Innis nyaata miʼaawaa qopheessee abbaa isaatiif fide; abbaa isaatiinis, “Yaa abbaa ko, ati akka na eebbiftuuf ol jedhiitii waan ani ilmi kee adamsee fide nyaadhu” jedhe.
32 But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
Abbaan isaa Yisihaaqis, “Ati eenyu?” jedhee isa gaafate. Innis, “Ani ilma kee Esaawu hangafticha” jedhe.
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!”
Yommus Yisihaaq akka malee hollachaa, “Yoos namni waa adamsee naa fide eenyu ree? Ani utuu ati hin dhufin hunduma isaa nyaadheen isa eebbise; inni dhugumaan ni eebbifama!” jedhe.
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!”
Esaawu yommuu waan abbaan isaa dubbate dhagaʼetti, abbaa isaatiin, “Yaa abbaa ko, anas eebbisi!” jedhee sagalee ol fudhatee hiqqifatee booʼe.
35 But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
Yisihaaq garuu, “Obboleessi kee haxxummaadhaan dhufee eebba kee fudhateera” jedhe.
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?”
Esaawus, “Maqaan isaa iyyuu dhugumaan Yaaqoob jedhama mitii? Inni kana wajjin yeroo lama na gowwoomsuu isaa ti; jalqabatti hangafummaa koo narraa fudhate; amma immoo eebba koo fudhateera” jedhe. Ergasiis inni, “Ati eebba tokko illee naa hin hambifnee ree?” jedhee gaafate.
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?”
Yisihaaq immoo akkana jedhee Esaawuuf deebise; “Kunoo ani akka inni sirratti gooftaa taʼuu fi akka firoonni isaa hundi tajaajiltoota isaa taʼan godheera; akka inni midhaanii fi daadhii wayinii qabaatuufis isa eebbiseera. Egaa yaa ilma koo ani maal siif gochuun dandaʼa?”
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
Esaawus abbaa isaatiin, “Yaa abbaa ko, ati eebbuma tokko qofa qabdaa? Yaa abbaa ko, anas eebbisi!” jedhe. Esaawus sagalee ol fudhatee booʼe.
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.
Abbaan isaa Yisihaaqis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Iddoon jireenya keetii lafa gabbataa irraa ni fagaata; fixeensa samii gubbaa irraas ni fagaata.
40 You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
Ati goraadeedhaan jiraatta; obboleessa kees ni tajaajilta. Yeroo isaan mormitutti garuu waanjoo isaa cabsitee morma kee irraa buufta.”
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.”
Esaawu sababii abbaan isaa Yaaqoobin eebbiseef Yaaqoobitti haaloo qabate. Innis garaa isaatti, “Yeroon itti abbaa kootiif booʼan dhiʼaateera; anis yeroo sana obboleessa koo Yaaqoobin nan ajjeesa” jedhee yaade.
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.
Yommuu wanni Esaawu ilmi ishee hangaftichi jedhe isheetti himametti Ribqaan Yaaqoob ilma ishee quxisuu waamsiftee akkana jetteen; “Kunoo, obboleessi kee Esaawu si ajjeesee garaa isaa qabbaneeffachuu barbaada.
43 So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
Kanaafuu yaa ilma koo na dhagaʼi; kaʼiitii gara obboleessa koo Laabaa kan Kaaraan keessa jiraatu sanaatti baqadhu.
44 Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
Hamma aariin obboleessa keetii qabbanaaʼutti yeroo gabaabaaf isa bira turi.
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?”
Yommuu aariin obboleessa keetii qabbanaaʼee innis waan ati isa goote sana irraanfatutti ani dhaamsa sitti ergee achii sin fichisiisa. Ani maaliifan guyyaa tokkotti isin lachuu dhaba?”
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?”
Ribqaanis Yisihaaqiin akkana jette; “Ani sababii dubartoota Heetotaa kanneeniif jiraachuu jibbeera. Yoo Yaaqoob dubartoota biyya kanaa jechuunis dubartoota Heetotaa kanneen keessaa niitii fuudhe, jireenyi koo maal anaaf godha ree!”
