< 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.
Isak namalasi ma, mata nara rangga, de noꞌe ana ulu na, fo ana sue naseliꞌ a nae, “Sau e! Uma ia dei!” Esau nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee, amaꞌ?”
2 “Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
Isak nafadꞌe nae, “Taꞌo ia! Au, lasiꞌ ena. Nda bubꞌuluꞌ fai hiraꞌ naa au mate sa.
3 Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
De haꞌi tee-tande mara, fo muu sombu banda fui esa fee au dei.
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.”
Baliꞌ naa, tunu-nasu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ tungga au hihii ngga, fo mendi nema. Ua basa fo, au fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ. Basa naa, fo au mate o, malole.”
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,
Boe ma, Esau lao neu sombu banda. Te Ribka o rena Isak oꞌola na boe.
6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
De neu nafadꞌe Yakob nae, “We, Ako! Rena malolole! Faꞌ ra ama ma olaꞌ no Esau taꞌo ia:
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.’
‘Muu sombu banda fui esa, fo tunu-nasu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ fee au. Mete ma au ua basa, dei fo au fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, sia LAMATUALAIN mata na.’
8 Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
De rena malolole, Ako! Tungga tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ parenda ngga ia.
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.
Oras ia, muu sia hita lalaet hiek-lombo na, fo hii mala hie tena mbarunaꞌ rua. Mbau se fo haꞌi mala sisi na, mendi fee au. Dei fo au tunu-nasu tungga ama ma hihii na.
10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
Au tunu-nasu ala, naa, mendi fee ama ma fo ana naa. Basa fo, ana fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, dei fo ana feꞌe mate na. No taꞌo naa, ho mana hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naa, te nda aꞌa ma sa.”
11 Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
Boe ma Yakob olaꞌ no ina na nae, “Te Inaꞌ e! Aꞌa Saul ao na mafuluꞌ, te au ao ngga manggamomouꞌ!
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.”
Afiꞌ losa amaꞌ nafaroe ao ngga ma, ana nahine au eꞌedik e. Boe ma ana sumba-ndoon au!”
13 His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
Ma ina na nataa nae, “Ako e! Afiꞌ duꞌa saꞌ boe. Fee nema, dei fo au tao dalan! Mete ma amam sumba-ndoon nggo, dei fo au lemba-doi! De muu haꞌi hiek leo.”
14 So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
Dei de, Yakob neu humu nendi hiek ra, de ana mbau, ma nendi fee ina na. Ma Ribka tunu-nasu tungga Isak hihii na.
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.
Ana o haꞌi Esau bua-baꞌu malole na, de fee Yakob pake.
16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Ma ana mboti Yakob lima na no nggara-bote na, nendiꞌ hiek ka fulu na.
17 Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
Ma ana fee Yakob nanaa maladꞌaꞌ naa ra, no roti fo ana taoꞌ a.
18 So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
Boe ma Yakob nendi nanaat naa fee ama na. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ama ngge! Au uma ena.” Isak nataa nae, “Hee? Ho seka?”
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.”
Yakob nataa nae, “Au ia, amaꞌ ana ulu na, Esau! Au tao tungga saa fo amaꞌ denu faꞌ ra. Fela fo mua leo. Au nasu ala sisi fo sombu endi mia lasi a. Mua, fo basa na fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ leo!”
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.
Ma Isak olaꞌ nae, “Ho seli, o! Ho hambu banda fui lai-lai neuꞌ ena!” Yakob nataa nae, “Au hambu lai-lai, huu LAMATUALAIN fo amaꞌ beꞌutee neuꞌ a, tulu-fali au.”
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
Boe ma Isak noꞌe Yakob nae, “Uma deka-deka, fo au ufuroe sobꞌa nggo! Ho ia, tebꞌe Esau, do?”
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.”
Yakob neu deka no ama na, de lasiꞌ a nafaroe e. Ma ana olaꞌ nae, “Haraꞌ ia, onaꞌ Yakob hara na! Te limaꞌ ia, onaꞌ Esau lima na.”
23 Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
Isak nda nahine ana na Yakob sa, huu lima na mafuluꞌ onaꞌ a Esau. Ana nae fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu Yakob ma,
24 Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
natane seluꞌ fai nae, “Ho ia, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Esau, do?” Yakob nataa nae, “Tebꞌe amaꞌ!”
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.
Boe ma, Isak olaꞌ nae, “Lo sisi naa nema, te au ae ua. Dei fo, fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.” Yakob loo sisi a neu e, ma fee oe anggor fo ana ninu.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
Basa ma, ama na olaꞌ nae, “Ana ngge! Uma deka-deka sia ia, fo idꞌu au dei.”
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.
Yakob neu deka-deka de idꞌu e, ma Isak hae nala Esau bua-baꞌu na foo na. Basa de, ana olaꞌ fee Yakob papala-babꞌanggiꞌ nae, “Ana ngga foo na, onaꞌ nembe uru fo LAMATUALAIN pala-banggiꞌ.
28 May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ dinis mia lalai a nema, fo tao osi-lutu mara dadꞌi meulauꞌ! Fo Ana fee are nae-nae, ma boa anggor maisi sofeꞌ.
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.”
Nusaꞌ ra dadꞌi ho ate ma, ma leo ra, beꞌutee fee hadat neu nggo. Dei fo ho parenda basa toronoo mara, ma ara sendeꞌ lululangga nara neu nggo. Seka sumba-ndoon nggo, sira o hambu sumba-ndoon boe. Ma seka fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, sira o hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ boe.”
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
Isak fee basa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ma, Yakob lao hela e. Boe ma, aꞌa na Esau baliꞌ nendi banda fo sombu nalaꞌ a.
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.”
Ana tunu-nasu nala, de nendi fee ama na, ma olaꞌ nae, “Ama ngge! Fela fo mua leo. Au tunu-nasu sisi fo sombu alaꞌ a. Mua leo, fo basa naa, fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.”
32 But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
Isak rena nala ma, ana titindindi, de natane nae, “Hee! Ho se fai?” Esau nataa nae, “Au, Sau! Ana ulu ma.”
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!”
Boe ma Isak nggeꞌe-nggeꞌe. Natane nae, “Seka mana nendi sisi faꞌ ra? Au ua basa, de fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ena. Nda bisa lea baliꞌ sa.”
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!”
Rena ama na olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, Esau rala na mera, de nggae ma nggasi nahereꞌ nae, “Adoo! Amaꞌ e! Fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ boe!”
35 But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
Te Isak nae, “Nesen. Odꞌim eꞌedik nala au ena, ma namanaꞌo nendi papala-babꞌanggim ena.”
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?”
Boe ma Esau olaꞌ nae, “Ana eꞌedik nala au lao rua ena. Fefeu na, ana eꞌedik de haꞌi nala hak ulu ngga. Ia naa, papala-babꞌanggi ngga fai. Memaꞌ naran ‘Yakob’ naa, nandaa, huu ana mana maꞌedik. Amaꞌ feꞌe muꞌena papala-babꞌanggiꞌ feaꞌ fee au, do?”
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?”
Boe ma Isak nataa nae, “Nesen. Au soꞌu e dadꞌi malanggam ena. Ma odꞌi-aꞌa nara, dadꞌi ate nara. Au fee ne are naen seli, ma boa anggor maisi sofeꞌ. Dadꞌi ana ngge! Hela feꞌe papala-babꞌanggiꞌ saa fai, fo fee nggo?”
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
Esau rena nala ma, ana akaꞌ a suu-noki ama na nakandooꞌ a nae, “Amaꞌ papala-babꞌanggi ma akaꞌ esaꞌ, do? Amaꞌ feꞌe bisa sangga fee au papala-babꞌanggi feaꞌ. Mae papala-babꞌanggi anadikiꞌ o, neu!” Boe ma ana nggae fai.
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.
Boe ma, Isak nataa mbali e nae, “Ho masodꞌa ma naꞌadooꞌ mia osi meulauꞌ, te nda hambu dinis onda mia lalai fo naꞌadꞌoe rae ma sa.
40 You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
Ho fela-tafa ma mana fee nggo masodꞌaꞌ. Te mae taꞌo bee o, ho dadꞌi odꞌi ma ate na. Mete ma ho bisa labꞌan e, naa, ho feꞌe bisa nenemboꞌit mia liman.”
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.”
Esau namanasa Yakob seli, huu odꞌi na nalaka nala papala-babꞌanggi na. Ana duꞌa nae, “Nda dooꞌ sa te, ama ngga mate. De nehani dei. Basa bebeꞌe na fo, au isa e!”
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.
Ribka rena nala Esau dudꞌuꞌa na ma, ana noꞌe Yakob nae, “Rena malolole! Aꞌa ma naꞌena dudꞌuꞌat nae balas rala mera na. Ana nae nisa nggo, de, mela lai-lai misiꞌ toꞌo Labꞌan ma sia Haran.
43 So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
Muu leo dodꞌoo sia naa, losa aꞌa ma nda afiꞌ namanasa sa ena.
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?”
Mete ma ana liliiꞌ saa fo ho tao neu e, dei fo au denu atahori roꞌe baliꞌ nggo. Te au nda nau ana ngga ruꞌa se mopo sia fai esa rala sa.”
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?”
Basa ma, Ribka sangga dala fo Isak denu Yakob lao. Dadꞌi ana kokoe Isak nae, “Aꞌa e! Au doaꞌ o Esau sao nara atahori Het ia ra! Mete ma Yakob o sao ana feto Het boe, malole lenaꞌ au mateꞌ a.”
