< Genesis 27 >
1 Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were cloudy, and so he was not able to see. And he called his elder son Esau, and he said to him, “My son?” And he responded, “Here I am.”
I KO Isaaka manawa i elemakule ai, a powehiwehi ai kona mau maka, a hiki ole ia ia ke ike aku; hea aku la oia ia Esau i kana keiki mua, i aku la ia ia, E kuu keiki: i mai la kela, Eia wau.
2 His father said to him: “You see that I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.
I aku la oia, Eia hoi, ua elemakule au, aole hoi au i ike i kuu la e make ai:
3 Take your weapons, the quiver and the bow, and go out. And when you have taken something by hunting,
Ano hoi, e lawe oe i kau mau mea pana, i kau aapua a me kau kakaka, e hele aku oe i ka nahelehele e imi i kahi io na'u;
4 make from it a small meal for me, just as you know I like, and bring it, so that I may eat and my soul may bless you before I die.”
A e hana oe i mea ono na'u i ka mea hoi a'u i ono ai, a e lawe mai oe i o'u nei, i paina au, a i hoomaikai aku kuu uhane ia oe mamua o kuu make ana.
5 And when Rebekah had heard this, and he had gone out into the field to fulfill his father’s order,
Lohe ae la o Rebeka i ka wa a Isaaka i olelo aku ai ia Esau i kana keiki A hele aku o Esau i ka nahelehele e imi aku a e lawe mai i ka io o ka holoholona hihiu.
6 she said to her son Jacob: “I heard your father speaking with your brother Esau, and saying to him,
Olelo aku la o Rebeka ia Iakoba i kana keiki, i aku la, Aia hoi, ua lohe iho nei au i kou makuakane e olelo ana i kou kaikuaana ia Esau, i ka i ana ae,
7 ‘Bring to me from your hunting, and make me foods, so that I may eat and bless you in the sight of the Lord before I die.’
E lawe mai oe io'u nei i io holoholona hihiu, a e hana i ka mea ono na'u, i paina au, a i hoomaikai hoi au ia oe imua o Iehova mamua o kuu make ana.
8 Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,
Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe i ko'u leo, ma ka mea a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe.
9 and go straight to the flock, and bring me two of the best young goats, so that from them I may make meat for your father, such as he willingly eats.
E hele koke aku oe i ka poe holoholona, a e lawe mai i na keiki kao maikai i elua; a na'u no e hana i ka mea ono na kou makuakane, i kana mea i ono ai:
10 Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies.”
A e halihali aku oe ia mea i kou makuakane, i ai iho ia, a i hoomaikai mai oia ia oe mamua o kona make ana.
11 He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
Olelo mai la o Iakoba ia Rebeka i kona makuwahine, Aia hoi, he kanaka huluhulu o Esau kuu kai kuaana, a he kanaka pahee no wau:
12 If my father should lay hands on me and perceive it, I am afraid lest he think me willing to mock him, and I will bring a curse upon myself, instead of a blessing.”
A e hana mai paha kuu makuakane ia'u, a e ikea auanei au e ia he mea hoopunipuni; a e hooili mai au i ka hoinoia maluna iho o'u, aole ka hoomaikaiia,
13 And his mother said to him: “Let this curse be upon me, my son. Yet listen to my voice, and go directly to bring what I said.”
I aku la kona makuwahine ia ia, Maluna iho o'u kou hoinoia, e kuu keiki; e hoolohe wale mai oe i ko'u leo, e kii aku, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
14 He went out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just as she knew his father liked.
Kii aku la ia, a lawe mai la ia mau mea i kona makuwahine: a na kona makuwahine i hana i ka mea ono, a kona makuakane i ono ai.
15 And she clothed him with the very fine garments of Esau, which she had at home with her.
Lawe ae la o Rebeka i ka aahu maikai o kana keiki mua o Esau, i ka mea e waiho ana iloko o ka hale me ia, a hoaahu iho la ia Iakoba i kana keiki muli iho ia mea.
16 And she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.
A hoopili aku la o Rebeka i na ili o na keiki kao maluna o kona mau lima, a me ka pahee o kona a-i.
17 And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.
Haawi aku la ia i ka mea ono, a me ka berena ana i hoomakaukau ai, iloko o ka lima o Iakoba o kana keiki.
18 When he had carried these in, he said, “My father?” And he answered, “I’m listening. Who are you, my son?”
A hele aku la ia i kona makuakane, i aku la, E kuu makuakane: i mai la kela, Eia no wau; owai la oe, e kuu keiki?
19 And Jacob said: “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you instructed me. Arise; sit and eat from my hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
I aku la o Iakoba i kona makuakane, Owau no o Esau, o kau makahiapo; ua hana iho nei au i kau mea i kauoha mai ai; ke noi aku nei au, e ala mai oe, e noho a e ai iho i ka'u io o ka mea hihiu, i hoomaikai mai kou uhane ia'u.
20 And again Isaac said to his son, “How were you able to find it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “It was the will of God, so that what I sought met with me quickly.”
I mai la o Isaaka i kana keiki, Pehea ka emoole o ka loaa ana o ia mea ia oe, e kuu keiki? I aku la kela, No ka mea, na Iehova na kou Akua i hoohalawai ia mea me au.
21 And Isaac said, “Come here, so that I may touch you, my son, and may prove whether you are my son Esau, or not.”
I mai la o Isaaka ia Iakoba, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e neenee mai a kokoke, i hana aku au ia oe, e kuu keiki, i ike au o ka'u keiki o Esau paha oe, aole paha.
22 He approached his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: “The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob. But the hands are the hands of Esau.”
Neenee aku la o Iakoba io Isaaka la i kona makuakane: a hana mai la oia ia ia, i mai la, O ka leo, ka leo no o Iakoba, aka, o na lima, na lima no o Esau.
23 And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,
Aole no i ikea oia, no ka mea, ua huluhulu kona mau lima, e like me na lima o kona kaikuaana, o Esau: a hoomaikai mai oia ia ia.
24 he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
Ninau mai la oia ia ia, O oe io no anei o ka'u keiki o Esau? I aku la kela, Owau no.
25 Then he said, “Bring me the foods from your hunting, my son, so that my soul may bless you.” And when he had eaten what was offered, he also brought forth wine for him. And after he finished it,
I mai la oia, E lawe mai ia mea a kokoke ia'u, a e ai iho no wau i ka io mea hihiu a kuu keiki, i hoomaikai aku kuu uhane ia oe, Lawe aku la o Iakoba a kokoke, a ai iho la kela: lawe aku la hoi oia i ka waina, a inu iho la kela.
26 he said to him, “Come to me and give me a kiss, my son.”
Olelo mai la kona makuakane o Isaaka ia ia, E hele mai oe a honi ia'u, e kuu keiki.
27 He approached and kissed him. And immediately he perceived the fragrance of his garments. And so, blessing him, he said: “Behold, the smell of my son is like the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord has blessed.
Hele aku la o Iakoba, a honi ae la ia ia: honi iho la o Isaaka i ke ala o kona aahu, hoomaikai mai la ia ia, i mai la, Aia, o ke ala o kuu keiki, ua like me ke ala o ka mahinaai a Iehova i hoomaikai ai:
28 May God give to you, from the dew of heaven and from the fatness of the earth, an abundance of grain and wine.
E haawi mai ke Akua ia oe i ka hau no ka lani mai, me ka momona o ka honua, a me ka palaoa a me ka waina he nui:
29 And may the peoples serve you, and may the tribes reverence you. May you be the lord of your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down before you. Whoever curses you, may he be cursed, and whoever blesses you, may he be filled with blessings.”
E hookauwa mai na kanaka nau, a e moe iho na lahuikanaka imua ou, o lilo oe i haku maluna o kou poe hoahanau, a e moe iho na keiki o kou makuwahine imua ou: e hoinoia'ku na mea a pau e hoino mai ia oe, a e hoopomaikaiia'ku ka mea hoomaikai ia oe.
30 Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.
A oki ae la ka hoomaikai ana mai a Isaaka ia Iakoba, aneane hoi ole mai o Iakoba mai ke alo mai o Isaaka o kona makuakane, puka mai la hoi o Esau o kona kaikuaana mai kona imi mea hihiu ana.
31 And he brought his father foods cooked from his hunting, saying, “Arise, my father, and eat from your son’s hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
Hana no hoi oia i ka mea ono, a lawe mai hoi ia mea i kona makuakane, i aku la ia i kona makuakane, E ala mai oe, e kuu makuakane, a e ai iho i ka io mea hihia a kana keiki, i hoomaikai mai kou uhane ia'u.
32 And Isaac said to him, “But who are you?” And he answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”
Ninau mai la o Isaaka o kona makuakane ia ia, Owai oe? I aku la kela, Owau no o kau keiki, o kau makahiapo, o Esau.
33 Isaac became frightened and very astonished. And wondering beyond what can be believed, he said: “Then who is he that a while ago brought me the prey from his hunting, from which I ate, before you arrived? And I blessed him, and he will be blessed.”
Haalulu nui loa iho la o Isaaka, i mai la, Owai? auhea hoi ka mea i kii i ka io mea hihiu, a i lawe mai hoi io'u nei, a ua ai iho nei au a pau, mamua o kou hiki ana mai, a ua hoomaikai au ia ia? Oiaio, oia ke hoomaikaiia.
34 Esau, having heard his father’s words, roared out with a great outcry. And, being confounded, he said, “But bless me also, my father.”
A lohe ae la o Esau i ka olelo a kona makuakane, uwe iho la ia me ka uwe nui loa, i aku la ia i kona makuakane, E hoomaikai mai ia'u, ia'u hoi, e kuu makuakane,
35 And he said, “Your twin came deceitfully, and he received your blessing.”
I mai la kela, Ua hele mai nei kou kaikaina me ka maalea, a ua lawe aku i kou hoomaikaiia,
36 But he responded: “Justly is his name called Jacob. For he has supplanted me yet another time. My birthright he took away before, and now, this second time, he has stolen my blessing.” And again, he said to his father, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me also?”
I aku la oia, Aole anei i pono ke kapa ana ia ia o Iakoba? no ka mea, eia ka lua o kona kaili ana i ko'u pono: kaili aku la oia i ko ka hanaumua pono o'u; eia hoi, ano, ua kaili ae la oia i ko'u hoomaikaiia. I aku la hoi o Esau, Aole anei oe i malama no'u kekahi hoomaikai ana?
37 Isaac answered: “I have appointed him as your lord, and I have subjugated all his brothers as his servants. I have reinforced him with grain and wine, and after this, my son, what more shall I do for you?”
Olelo mai la o Isaaka ia Esau, Aia hoi, ua hoolilo aku au ia ia i haku nou, a ua haawi aku no wau i kona poe hoahanau a pau i poe kauwa nana; ua malama aku hoi au ia ia i ka palaoa a me ka waina: a heaha ka'u e hana aku ai nau, e kuu keiki?
38 And Esau said to him: “Have you only one blessing, father? I beg you, bless me also.” And when he wept with a loud wail,
I aku la o Esau i kona makuakane, Hookahi wale no anei au hoomaikai ana, e kuu makuakane? e hoomaikai mai oe ia'u hoi, e kuu makuakane. Hookiekie ae la o Esau i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
39 Isaac was moved, and he said to him: “In the fatness of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
Olelo mai la o Isaaka, kona makuakane, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ma ka aina momona kou noho ana, a ma kahi o ka hau o ka lani mai luna iho.
40 will your blessing be. You will live by the sword, and you will serve your brother. But the time will arrive when you will shake off and release his yoke from your neck.”
I kau pahikaua e ola auanei oe, a e hookauwa aku oe na kou kaikaina: a i ka manawa e loaa'i ia oe ke alii ana, alaila e haihai iho oe i kana anamo ma kou a-i.
41 Therefore, Esau always hated Jacob, for the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And he said in his heart, “The days will arrive for the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Inaina aku la o Esau ia Iakoba, no ka hoomaikai ana a kona makuakane i hoomaikai aku ai ia ia: i iho la o Esau iloko o kona naau, Ua kokoke mai na la e kanikau ai i kuu makuakane; alaila au e pepehi ai i kuu kaikaina ia Iakoba.
42 These things were reported to Rebekah. And sending and calling for her son Jacob, she said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau is threatening to kill you.
Ua haiia'ku keia olelo ana a Esau ia Rebeka: hoouna aku la ia e hea ia Iakoba i kana keiki muli iho, i aku la ia ia, Aia hoi, o kou kaikuaana o Esau, e hooluolu ana oia ia ia iho nou, e pepehi iho ia oe.
43 Therefore, now my son, listen to my voice. Rise up and flee to my brother Laban, in Haran.
Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe i kuu lee; e ku ae oe, e holo aku io Labana la, i kuu kaikunane ma Harana:
44 And you will dwell with him for a few days, until the fury of your brother subsides,
E noho me ia i kekahi mau la, a huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la;
45 and his indignation ceases, and he forgets the things that you have done to him. After this, I will send for you and bring you from there to here. Why should I be bereaved of both my sons in one day?”
A huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la, a poina ia ia kau mea i hana aku ai ia ia: alaila e hoouna aku no wau e hoihoi mai ia oe: no ke aha la e hooneleia mai au ia olua a elua i ka la hookahi?
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob accepts a wife from the stock of this land, I would not be willing to live.”
Olelo aku la o Rebeka ia Isaaka, Ua pauaho no wau i kuu ola ana, no na kaikamahine a ka Heta: ina e lawe o Iakoba i kekahi kaikamahine a ka Heta i wahine nana, e like me na kaikamahine o ka aina, pehea la wau e pono ai i kuu ola aua?
