< Genesis 27 >

1 And it came to pass when Isaac had become old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, that he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he said to him, Here am I.
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 And he said, Behold now, I am become old; I know not the day of my death.
Isak nafadꞌe nae, “Taꞌo ia! Au, lasiꞌ ena. Nda bubꞌuluꞌ fai hiraꞌ naa au mate sa.
3 And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison,
De haꞌi tee-tande mara, fo muu sombu banda fui esa fee au dei.
4 and prepare me a savoury dish such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, in order that my soul may bless thee 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 And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.
Boe ma, Esau lao neu sombu banda. Te Ribka o rena Isak oꞌola na boe.
6 And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,
De neu nafadꞌe Yakob nae, “We, Ako! Rena malolole! Faꞌ ra ama ma olaꞌ no Esau taꞌo ia:
7 Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death.
‘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 And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.
De rena malolole, Ako! Tungga tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ parenda ngga ia.
9 Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as 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 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.
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 And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Boe ma Yakob olaꞌ no ina na nae, “Te Inaꞌ e! Aꞌa Saul ao na mafuluꞌ, te au ao ngga manggamomouꞌ!
12 My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing.
Afiꞌ losa amaꞌ nafaroe ao ngga ma, ana nahine au eꞌedik e. Boe ma ana sumba-ndoon au!”
13 And his mother said to him, On me [be] thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch [them].
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 And he went, and fetched and brought [them] to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as 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 Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;
Ana o haꞌi Esau bua-baꞌu malole na, de fee Yakob pake.
16 and she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck;
Ma ana mboti Yakob lima na no nggara-bote na, nendiꞌ hiek ka fulu na.
17 and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
Ma ana fee Yakob nanaa maladꞌaꞌ naa ra, no roti fo ana taoꞌ a.
18 And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, 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 And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy soul 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 And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God put [it] in my way.
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 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be 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 And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, 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 And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; and 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 And he said, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I.
natane seluꞌ fai nae, “Ho ia, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Esau, do?” Yakob nataa nae, “Tebꞌe amaꞌ!”
25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, that I may eat of my son's venison, in order that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he ate; and 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 And his father Isaac said to him, Come near, now, and kiss me, my son.
Basa ma, ama na olaꞌ nae, “Ana ngge! Uma deka-deka sia ia, fo idꞌu au dei.”
27 And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath 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 And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn 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 Let peoples serve thee, And races bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be they that curse thee, And blessed be they that bless thee.
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 And it came to pass when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.
Isak fee basa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ma, Yakob lao hela e. Boe ma, aꞌa na Esau baliꞌ nendi banda fo sombu nalaꞌ a.
31 And he also had prepared savoury dishes, and he brought [them] in to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy soul 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 And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.
Isak rena nala ma, ana titindindi, de natane nae, “Hee! Ho se fai?” Esau nataa nae, “Au, Sau! Ana ulu ma.”
33 Then Isaac trembled with exceeding great trembling, and said, Who was he, then, that hunted venison and brought [it] to me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him; also blessed he shall be.
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 the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me — me also, 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 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and has taken away thy blessing.
Te Isak nae, “Nesen. Odꞌim eꞌedik nala au ena, ma namanaꞌo nendi papala-babꞌanggim ena.”
36 And he said, Is it not therefore he was named Jacob, for he has supplanted me now twice? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved 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 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him lord over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and with corn and new wine have I supplied him — and what can I do now for thee, 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 And Esau said to his father, Hast thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me — me also, my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
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 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from 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 And by thy sword shalt thou live; And thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy 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 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, and I will slay 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 And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.
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 And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran;
44 and abide with him some days, until thy brother's fury turn away —
Muu leo dodꞌoo sia naa, losa aꞌa ma nda afiꞌ namanasa sa ena.
45 until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; then I will send and fetch thee thence. Why should I be bereaved even of you both 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 And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good should my life do me?
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.”
