Genesis 27
1 Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see: and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him: My son? And he answered: Here I am.
| وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا شَاخَ إِسْحَاقُ وَكَلَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ عَنِ ٱلنَّظَرِ، أَنَّهُ دَعَا عِيسُوَ ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا ٱبْنِي». فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَأَنَذَا». | ١ |
2 And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.
| فَقَالَ: «إِنَّنِي قَدْ شِخْتُ وَلَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ يَوْمَ وَفَاتِي. | ٢ |
3 Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,
| فَٱلْآنَ خُذْ عُدَّتَكَ: جُعْبَتَكَ وَقَوْسَكَ، وَٱخْرُجْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَتَصَيَّدْ لِي صَيْدًا، | ٣ |
4 Make me savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it, that I may eat: and my soul may bless thee before I die.
| وَٱصْنَعْ لِي أَطْعِمَةً كَمَا أُحِبُّ، وَأْتِنِي بِهَا لِآكُلَ حَتَّى تُبَارِكَكَ نَفْسِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ». | ٤ |
5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment,
| وَكَانَتْ رِفْقَةُ سَامِعَةً إِذْ تَكَلَّمَ إِسْحَاقُ مَعَ عِيسُو ٱبْنِهِ. فَذَهَبَ عِيسُو إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ كَيْ يَصْطَادَ صَيْدًا لِيَأْتِيَ بِهِ. | ٥ |
6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:
| وَأَمَّا رِفْقَةُ فَكَلمتْ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنِهَا قَائِلةً: «إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَاكَ يُكَلِّمُ عِيسُوَ أَخَاكَ قَائِلًا: | ٦ |
7 Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.
| ٱئْتِنِي بِصَيْدٍ وَٱصْنَعْ لِي أَطْعِمَةً لِآكُلَ وَأُبَارِكَكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِي. | ٧ |
8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:
| فَٱلْآنَ يَا ٱبْنِي ٱسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِي فِي مَا أَنَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ: | ٨ |
9 And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:
| اِذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْغَنَمِ وَخُذْ لِي مِنْ هُنَاكَ جَدْيَيْنِ جَيِّدَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْمِعْزَى، فَأَصْنَعَهُمَا أَطْعِمَةً لِأَبِيكَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ، | ٩ |
10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
| فَتُحْضِرَهَا إِلَى أَبِيكَ لِيَأْكُلَ حَتَّى يُبَارِكَكَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ». | ١٠ |
11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِرِفْقَةَ أُمِّهِ: «هُوَذَا عِيسُو أَخِي رَجُلٌ أَشْعَرُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ أَمْلَسُ. | ١١ |
12 If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.
| رُبَّمَا يَجُسُّنِي أَبِي فَأَكُونُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ كَمُتَهَاوِنٍ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَى نَفْسِي لَعْنَةً لَا بَرَكَةً». | ١٢ |
13 And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ: «لَعْنَتُكَ عَلَيَّ يَا ٱبْنِي. اِسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِي فَقَطْ وَٱذْهَبْ خُذْ لِي». | ١٣ |
14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.
| فَذَهَبَ وَأَخَذَ وَأَحْضَرَ لِأُمِّهِ، فَصَنَعَتْ أُمُّهُ أَطْعِمَةً كَمَا كَانَ أَبُوهُ يُحِبُّ. | ١٤ |
15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:
| وَأَخَذَتْ رِفْقَةُ ثِيَابَ عِيسُو ٱبْنِهَا ٱلْأَكْبَرِ ٱلْفَاخِرَةَ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عِنْدَهَا فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ وَأَلْبَسَتْ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنَهَا ٱلْأَصْغَرَ، | ١٥ |
16 And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.
| وَأَلْبَسَتْ يَدَيْهِ وَمَلَاسَةَ عُنُقِهِ جُلُودَ جَدْيَيِ ٱلْمِعْزَى. | ١٦ |
17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.
| وَأَعْطَتِ ٱلْأَطْعِمَةَ وَٱلْخُبْزَ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَتْ فِي يَدِ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنِهَا. | ١٧ |
18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?
| فَدَخَلَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ: «يَا أَبِي». فَقَالَ: «هَأَنَذَا. مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنِي؟». | ١٨ |
19 And Jacob said: I am Esau thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِأَبِيهِ: «أَنَا عِيسُو بِكْرُكَ. قَدْ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا كَلَّمْتَنِي. قُمِ ٱجْلِسْ وَكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِي لِكَيْ تُبَارِكَنِي نَفْسُكَ». | ١٩ |
20 And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way.
| فَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ لِٱبْنِهِ: «مَا هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَسْرَعْتَ لِتَجِدَ يَا ٱبْنِي؟». فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ يَسَّرَ لِي». | ٢٠ |
21 And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.
| فَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «تَقَدَّمْ لِأَجُسَّكَ يَا ٱبْنِي. أَأَنْتَ هُوَ ٱبْنِي عِيسُو أَمْ لَا؟». | ٢١ |
22 He came near to 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.
| فَتَقَدَّمَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ، فَجَسَّهُ وَقَالَ: «ٱلصَّوْتُ صَوْتُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ يَدَا عِيسُو». | ٢٢ |
23 And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,
| وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ لِأَنَّ يَدَيْهِ كَانَتَا مُشْعِرَتَيْنِ كَيَدَيْ عِيسُو أَخِيهِ، فَبَارَكَهُ. | ٢٣ |
24 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.
| وَقَالَ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱبْنِي عِيسُو؟». فَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ». | ٢٤ |
25 Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk,
| فَقَالَ: «قَدِّمْ لِي لِآكُلَ مِنْ صَيْدِ ٱبْنِي حَتَّى تُبَارِكَكَ نَفْسِي». فَقَدَّمَ لَهُ فَأَكَلَ، وَأَحْضَرَ لَهُ خَمْرًا فَشَرِبَ. | ٢٥ |
26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْحَاقُ أَبُوهُ: «تَقَدَّمْ وَقَبِّلْنِي يَا ٱبْنِي». | ٢٦ |
27 He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed.
| فَتَقَدَّمَ وَقَبَّلَهُ، فَشَمَّ رَائِحَةَ ثِيَابِهِ وَبَارَكَهُ، وَقَالَ: «ٱنْظُرْ! رَائِحَةُ ٱبْنِي كَرَائِحَةِ حَقْلٍ قَدْ بَارَكَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٧ |
28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.
| فَلْيُعْطِكَ ٱللهُ مِنْ نَدَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَمِنْ دَسَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَكَثْرَةَ حِنْطَةٍ وَخَمْرٍ. | ٢٨ |
29 And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother’s children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings.
| لِيُسْتَعْبَدْ لَكَ شُعُوبٌ، وَتَسْجُدْ لَكَ قَبَائِلُ. كُنْ سَيِّدًا لِإِخْوَتِكَ، وَلْيَسْجُدْ لَكَ بَنُو أُمِّكَ. لِيَكُنْ لَاعِنُوكَ مَلْعُونِينَ، وَمُبَارِكُوكَ مُبَارَكِينَ». | ٢٩ |
30 Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,
| وَحَدَثَ عِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ إِسْحَاقُ مِنْ بَرَكَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ لَدُنْ إِسْحَاقَ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عِيسُوَ أَخَاهُ أَتَى مِنْ صَيْدِهِ، | ٣٠ |
31 And brought in to his father meats made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son’s venison; that thy soul may bless me.
| فَصَنَعَ هُوَ أَيْضًا أَطْعِمَةً وَدَخَلَ بِهَا إِلَى أَبِيهِ وَقَالَ لِأَبِيهِ: «لِيَقُمْ أَبِي وَيَأْكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِ ٱبْنِهِ حَتَّى تُبَارِكَنِي نَفْسُكَ». | ٣١ |
32 And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ إِسْحَاقُ أَبُوهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «أَنَا ٱبْنُكَ بِكْرُكَ عِيسُو». | ٣٢ |
33 Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly: and wondering beyond what can be believed, said Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
| فَٱرْتَعَدَ إِسْحَاقُ ٱرْتِعَادًا عَظِيمًا جِدًّا وَقَالَ: «فَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي ٱصْطَادَ صَيْدًا وَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَيَّ فَأَكَلْتُ مِنَ ٱلْكُلِّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ، وَبَارَكْتُهُ؟ نَعَمْ، وَيَكُونُ مُبَارَكًا». | ٣٣ |
34 Esau having heard his father’s words, roared out with a great cry: and being in a great consternation, said: Bless me also, my father.
| فَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ عِيسُو كَلَامَ أَبِيهِ صَرَخَ صَرْخَةً عَظِيمَةً وَمُرَّةً جِدًّا، وَقَالَ لِأَبِيهِ: «بَارِكْنِي أَنَا أَيْضًا يَا أَبِي». | ٣٤ |
35 And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.
| فَقَالَ: «قَدْ جَاءَ أَخُوكَ بِمَكْرٍ وَأَخَذَ بَرَكَتَكَ». | ٣٥ |
36 But he said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: my first birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing?
| فَقَالَ: «أَلَا إِنَّ ٱسْمَهُ دُعِيَ يَعْقُوبَ، فَقَدْ تَعَقَّبَنِي ٱلْآنَ مَرَّتَيْنِ! أَخَذَ بَكُورِيَّتِي، وَهُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَخَذَ بَرَكَتِي». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِي بَرَكَةً؟». | ٣٦ |
37 Isaac answered: I have appointed him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants: I have established him with corn and wine, and after this, what shall I do more for thee, my son?
| فَأَجَابَ إِسْحَاقُ وَقَالَ لِعِيسُو: «إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ سَيِّدًا لَكَ، وَدَفَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ عَبِيدًا، وَعَضَدْتُهُ بِحِنْطَةٍ وَخَمْرٍ. فَمَاذَا أَصْنَعُ إِلَيْكَ يَا ٱبْنِي؟» | ٣٧ |
38 And Esau said to him: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry,
| فَقَالَ عِيسُو لِأَبِيهِ: «أَلَكَ بَرَكَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَطْ يَا أَبِي؟ بَارِكْنِي أَنَا أَيْضًا يَا أَبِي». وَرَفَعَ عِيسُو صَوْتَهُ وَبَكَى. | ٣٨ |
39 Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
| فَأَجَابَ إِسْحَاقُ أَبُوهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا بِلَا دَسَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَكُونُ مَسْكَنُكَ، وَبِلَا نَدَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ. | ٣٩ |
40 Shall thy blessing be. Thou shalt live by the sword and shalt serve thy brother: and the time shall come, when thou shalt shake off and loose his yoke from thy neck.
| وَبِسَيْفِكَ تَعِيشُ، وَلِأَخِيكَ تُسْتَعْبَدُ، وَلَكِنْ يَكُونُ حِينَمَا تَجْمَحُ أَنَّكَ تُكَسِّرُ نِيرَهُ عَنْ عُنُقِكَ». | ٤٠ |
41 Esau therefore always hated Jacob for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him: and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.
| فَحَقَدَ عِيسُو عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْبَرَكَةِ ٱلَّتِي بَارَكَهُ بِهَا أَبُوهُ. وَقَالَ عِيسُو فِي قَلْبِهِ: «قَرُبَتْ أَيَّامُ مَنَاحَةِ أَبِي، فَأَقْتُلُ يَعْقُوبَ أَخِي». | ٤١ |
42 These things were told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob her son, and said to him: Behold Esau thy brother threateneth to kill thee.
| فَأُخْبِرَتْ رِفْقَةُ بِكَلَامِ عِيسُوَ ٱبْنِهَا ٱلْأَكْبَرِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ وَدَعَتْ يَعْقُوبَ ٱبْنَهَا ٱلْأَصْغَرَ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا عِيسُو أَخُوكَ مُتَسَلٍّ مِنْ جِهَتِكَ بِأَنَّهُ يَقْتُلُكَ. | ٤٢ |
43 Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:
| فَٱلْآنَ يَا ٱبْنِي ٱسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِي، وَقُمِ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى أَخِي لَابَانَ إِلَى حَارَانَ، | ٤٣ |
44 And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,
| وَأَقِمْ عِنْدَهُ أَيَّامًا قَلِيلَةً حَتَّى يَرْتَدَّ سُخْطُ أَخِيكَ. | ٤٤ |
45 And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day?
| حَتَّى يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُ أَخِيكَ عَنْكَ، وَيَنْسَى مَا صَنَعْتَ بِهِ. ثُمَّ أُرْسِلُ فَآخُذُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. لِمَاذَا أُعْدَمُ ٱثْنَيْكُمَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ؟». | ٤٥ |
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 stock of this land, I choose not to live.
| وَقَالَتْ رِفْقَةُ لِإِسْحَاقَ: «مَلِلْتُ حَيَاتِي مِنْ أَجْلِ بَنَاتِ حِثَّ. إِنْ كَانَ يَعْقُوبُ يَأْخُذُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ حِثَّ مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بَنَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَلِمَاذَا لِي حَيَاةٌ؟». | ٤٦ |
