Genesis 27
1 And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I [am here].
依撒格年紀已老，雙目失明，看不見了，遂叫了他的大兒厄撒烏來，對他說：「我兒! 」他回答說：「我在這裏。」
2 And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.
他說：「你看，我已年老，不知道那天就死。
3 Now then take the weapons, both your quiver and your bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
現在你拿器械、箭囊和弓，往田間去打點獵物，
4 and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you, before I die.
照我的嗜好給我作成美味，拿來給我吃，好叫我在未死以前祝福你。」
5 And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
依撒格對他的兒子厄撒烏說這話時，黎貝加聽見了。厄撒烏就到田間去給父親打獵，
6 And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying,
黎貝加對自己的兒子雅各伯說：「我聽見你父親對你哥哥厄撒烏說：
7 Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless you before the Lord before I die.
你去給我打點獵物來，作成美味，叫我吃了，好在死前當著上主的面祝福你。」
8 Now then, my son, listen to me, as I command you.
現在，我兒，要聽從我吩咐你的話。
9 And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for your father, as he likes.
到羊群裏去，給我拿兩隻肥美的小山羊來，我要照你父親的嗜好，給他作成美味，
10 And you shall bring them in to your father, and he shall eat, that your father may bless you before he dies.
你端給父親吃，好叫他死前祝福你。」
11 And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
雅各伯對母親黎貝加說：「但是我哥哥渾身是毛，我卻皮膚光滑，
12 Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.
萬一我父親摸我，必以為我哄騙他，我必招來咒罵，而不是祝福。」
13 And his mother said to him, On me be your curse, son; only listen to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
母親對他說：「我兒，咒罵歸於我，你只管聽我的話，去給我拿來。」
14 So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
他遂拿了來，交給了他的母親，他母親就照他父親的嗜好作成了美味。
15 And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.
黎貝加又將家中所存的大兒厄撒烏最好的衣服，給她小兒雅各伯穿上；
16 And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
又用小山羊的皮，包在他的手上和他光滑的頸上，
17 And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
然後將自己作好的美味和餅，放在他兒子雅各伯的手裏。
18 And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who are you, son?
雅各伯來到他父親前說：「我父! 」他答說：「我在這裏! 我兒，你是誰﹖」
19 And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau your firstborn, have done as you told me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.
雅各伯對父親說：「我是你長子厄撒烏。我已照你吩咐的作了。請坐起來，吃我作的野味，好祝福我。」
20 And Isaac said to his son, What is this which you have quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord your God presented before me.
依撒格對他兒子說：「我兒! 你怎麼這樣快就找著了﹖」雅各伯答說：「因為上主你的天主使我碰得好。」
21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel you, son, if you are my son Esau or not.
依撒格對雅各伯說：「我兒! 你前來，讓我摸摸，看你是不是我兒厄撒烏﹖」
22 And Jacob drew near to his father Isaac, and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
雅各伯就走近他父親依撒格前；依撒格摸著他說：「聲音是雅各伯的聲音，手卻是厄撒烏的手。」
23 And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,
依撒格沒有分辨出來，因為他的手，像他哥哥厄撒烏的手一樣有毛，就祝福了他。
24 and he said, Are you my son Esau? and he said, I [am].
隨後說：「你真是我兒厄撒烏嗎﹖」雅各伯答說：「我是。」
25 And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of your venison, son, that my soul may bless you; and he brought [it] near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
依撒格說：「我兒! 遞給我，叫我吃了你作的野味，好祝福你。」雅各伯於是遞過去，他吃了；又給他拿了酒來，他也喝了。
26 And Isaac his father said to him, Draw near to me, and kiss me, son.
他父親依撒烏就對他說：「我兒! 你前來吻我。」
27 And he drew near and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.
他就前去吻了父親。他父親一聞到他衣服上的香氣，就祝福他說：「看! 我兒子的香氣，像上主祝福的肥田的香氣。
28 And may God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.
惟願天主賜與你天上的甘露，土地的肥沃，五穀美酒的豐裕!
29 And let nations serve you, and princes bow down to you, and be you lord of your brother, and the sons of your father shall do you reverence; accursed is he that curses you, and blessed is he that blesses you.
願眾民福事你，萬國叩拜你! 願你作你兄弟的主人，你母親的兒子叩拜你! 凡詛咒你的，必受詛咒；凡祝福你的，必受祝福。」
30 And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
依撒格一祝福了雅各伯，雅各伯剛由他父親依撒格面前出來，他哥哥厄撒烏打獵回來了。
31 And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me.
他也作了美味，給他父親端來，對他父親說：「我父! 請起來吃，你兒預備的野味，好祝福我。」
32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your firstborn son Esau.
他父親依撒格對他說：「你是誰﹖」他答說：「我是你兒，你長子厄撒烏。」
33 And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before you came, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
依撒格不禁戰慄起來，驚問說：「那麼，是誰打了獵物給我送了來﹖並且在你未來以前，我已吃了，已祝福了他；他從此必蒙祝福。」
34 And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray you, me also, father.
厄撒烏一聽見他父親說出這話，就放聲哀號，對他父親說：「我父，請你也祝福我! 」
35 And he said to him, Your brother has come with subtlety, and taken your blessing.
父親答說：「你弟弟用詭計來奪去了你的祝福。」
36 And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for behold! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast you not left a blessing for me, father?
厄撒烏說：「他不是名叫雅各伯嗎﹖他已兩次欺騙了我：以前奪去了我長子的名分，現在又奪去了我的祝福。」繼而問說：「你沒有給我留下祝福嗎﹖」
37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him your lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for you, son?
依撒格回答厄撒烏說：「看，我已立他作你的主人，將所有的兄弟都給他作僕人，將五穀美酒都供給他了。我兒，我還能為你作什麼﹖」
38 And Esau said to his father, Hast you [only] one blessing, father? Bless, I pray you, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.
厄撒烏對父親說：「我父，你只有一個祝福嗎﹖我父，你也得祝福我。」厄撒烏就放聲大哭。
39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.
他父親依撒格回答他說：「看，你住的地方必缺乏肥沃的土地，天上的甘露。
40 And you shall live by your sword, and shall serve your brother; and there shall be [a time] when you shall break and loosen his yoke from off your neck.
你要憑仗刀劍生活，要服事你的弟弟；但你一強盛起來，將由你的頸上擺脫他的束縛。」
41 And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw near, that I may kill my brother Jacob.
厄撒烏因為他父親祝福了雅各伯，便懷恨雅各伯，心下思念說「為父親居喪的日期已近，到時我必要殺死我弟弟雅各伯。」
42 And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau your brother threatens you to kill you.
有人告訴了黎貝加他大兒子厄撒烏所說的話；她便派人叫了她小兒雅各伯來，對他說：「看，你哥哥厄撒烏想要殺你洩恨。
43 Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
現在，我兒! 你得聽我的話，起身逃往哈蘭我哥哥拉班那裏去，
44 And dwell with him certain days, until your brother's anger
與他住些時日，直到你哥哥忿怒消失了。
45 and rage depart from you, and he forget what you have done to him; and I will send and fetch you thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.
幾時你哥哥對你息了怒，忘了你對他作的事，我就派人去，從那裏接你回來。為什麼我在一日內要喪失你們兩個人呢﹖」
46 And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, therefore should I live?
黎貝加就對依撒格說：「為了這兩個赫特女人，我厭惡得要死；假使雅各伯也從這地的女人中娶一個像這樣的赫特女人為妻，我還活著做什麼﹖」
