< 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.
Ary rehefa antitra Isaka, ary pahina ny masony ka tsy nahita, dia niantso an’ i Esao lahimatoany izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Anaka; ary hoy izy taminy kosa: Inty aho.
2 And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.
Ary hoy izy: Indro fa efa antitra aho, ka tsy fantatro izay andro hahafatesako;
3 Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,
koa ankehitriny, masìna ianao, alao ny fitifiranao dia ny tranon-jana-tsipìkanao sy ny tsipìkanao, ary mankanesa any an-tsaha, ka ihazao aho;
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.
ary anaovy hanim-py aho araka ilay tiako, ka ento atỳ amiko hohaniko, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahiko rano anao, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.
5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment,
Ary Rebeka nandre an’ Isaka niteny tamin’ i Esao zananilahy. Ary dia lasa nankany an-tsaha Esao nitady haza ho entiny.
6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:
Ary Rebeka niteny tamin’ i Jakoba zananilahy ka nanao hoe: Indro, efa reko ny rainao niteny tamin’ i Esao rahalahinao nanao hoe:
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.
Ihazao aho, ka anaovy hanim-py hohaniko; dia hitso-drano anao aho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.
8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:
Koa ankehitriny, anaka, araho ny teniko amin’ izay asaiko ataonao.
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:
Mankanesa kely any amin’ ny ondry aman’ osy, ka analao zanak’ osy roa tsara aho; dia hataoko hanim-py ho an’ ny rainao araka ilay tiany izany;
10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
ary dia ho entinao any amin’ ny rainao hohaniny, mba hitsofany rano anao, dieny tsy mbola maty izy.
11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
Fa hoy Jakoba tamin-dRebeka reniny: Indro, Esao rahalahiko dia lehilahy voloina, fa izaho lehilahy malambo hoditra kosa;
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.
ary angamba hitsapa ahy ikaky, dia ho toy ny mpanandoka eo imasony aho ka hahatonga ozona amiko, fa tsy tso-drano.
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.
Ary hoy ny reniny taminy: Aoka ho ahy ihany anaka, ny ozona ho anao; araho ihany ny teniko, ka mandehana, itondray aho.
14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.
Dia nandeha izy ka naka, ary nitondra tao amin’ ny reniny; ary ny reniny kosa dia nanao hanim-py araka ilay tian’ ny rainy.
15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:
Ary nalain-dRebeka ny fitafian’ i Esao lahimatoany, dia ny tsara izay efa notehiriziny tao an-trano, ka nampitafiny an’ i Jakoba zanany faralahy.
16 And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.
Ary ny hoditry ny zanak’ osy dia nafonony ny tànany sy ny malambolambo amin’ ny vozony;
17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.
dia natolony teo an-tànan’ i Jakoba zanany ny hanim-py sy ny mofo izay efa namboariny.
18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?
Ary Jakoba nankany amin’ ny rainy ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô! ary hoy kosa izy: Inty aho; iza moa ianao, anaka?
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.
Ary hoy Jakoba tamin-drainy: Izaho no Esao zanakao lahimatoa; efa nanao araka izay nasainao nataoko aho; masìna ianao, miarena, dia mipetraha, ka hano ny hazako, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahinao rano ahy.
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.
Ary hoy Isaka tamin’ ny zanany: Nanao ahoana, anaka, no dia nalaky nahazo toy izany ianao? Ary hoy izy: Satria Jehovah Andriamanitrao no nampahazo ahy.
21 And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.
Ary hoy Isaka tamin’ i Jakoba; Mba manatòna kely hoe hitsapako anao, anaka, hahafantarako na Esao zanako tokoa ianao, na tsia.
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.
Ary Jakoba nanatona an’ Isaka rainy, ary izy dia nitsapa azy ka nanao hoe: Ny feo dia feon’ i Jakoba, fa ny tanana dia tànan’ i Esao.
23 And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,
Ary tsy nahafantatra azy izy, satria voloina tahaka ny tanan’ i Esao rahalahiny ny tànany; dia notsofiny rano izy.
24 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.
Ary hoy izy: Hianao tokoa moa no Esao zanako? Dia hoy izy: Izaho no izy.
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,
Ary hoy kosa Isaka: Arosoy eto anoloako ary izato hazan’ ny zanako hihinanako, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahiko rano anao. Ary dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy; ary nitondrany divay izy, dia nisotro.
26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.
Ary hoy Isaka rainy taminy: Mba manatòna kely ka manoroha ahy, anaka.
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.
Dia nanatona izy ka nanoroka azy; ary Isaka nandre ny fofon’ ny fitafiany, dia nitso-drano azy ka nanao hoe: E! ny fofon’ ny zanako. Dia tahaka ny fofon’ ny saha izay notahin’ i Jehovah.
28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.
Ary hanomezan’ Andriamanitra anao anie ny andon’ ny lanitra sy ny tsiron’ ny tany, ary vary sy ranom-boaloboka betsaka.
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.
Hanompo anao anie ny firenena maro, Ary hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny firenena samy hafa. Ho tompon’ ny rahalahinao anie ianao, ary aoka hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny zanaky ny reninao. Ho voaozona anie izay rehetra manozona anao, ary hohasoavina anie izay manisy soa anao.
30 Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,
Ary rehefa vita ny nitsofan’ Isaka rano an’ i Jakoba, ary vao nidify Jakoba teo anatrehan’ Isaka rainy, dia niditra kosa Esao rahalahiny avy nihaza.
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.
Ary izy koa nanao hanim-py ka nitondra azy tao amin’ ny rainy; ary hoy izy tamin’ ny rainy: Aoka hiarina ny raiko ka hihinana amin’ ny hazan’ ny zanany, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahinao rano ahy.
32 And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.
Fa hoy Isaka rainy taminy: Iza indray moa ianao? Ary hoy izy: Izaho no Esao zanakao lahimatoa.
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.
Ary toran-kovitra indrindra Isaka ka nanao hoe: Iza ary ilay naka haza ka nitondra teto amiko, ary efa nihinanako izany rehetra izany, fony tsy mbola tonga ianao, ka efa notsofiko rano izy; eny, hotahina tokoa izy.
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.
Raha vao ren’ i Esao ny tenin’ ny rainy, dia nitaraina mafy dia mafy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mba tsofy rano re aho, dia izaho koa, ry ikaky ô.
35 And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.
Ary hoy rainy: Tonga ny rahalahinao nanandoka ka nahalasa ny tso-dranonao.
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?
Dia hoy Esao: Moa tsy mandia va ny anarany hoe Jakoba? fa efa namingana ahy indroa izy izao: ny fizokiako efa nalainy; ary, indro, ankehitriny lasany koa ny tso-dranoko. Ary hoy kosa izy: Tsy mba nitahiry tso-drano ho ahy va ianao?
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?
Dia namaly Isaka ka nanao tamin’ i Esao hoe: Indro, efa nataoko ho tomponao izy, ary ny rahalahiny rehetra nomeko ho mpanompony; ary vary sy ranom-boaloboka no namelomako azy; koa inona indray no hataoko aminao, anaka?
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,
Ary hoy Esao tamin’ ny rainy: Tso-drano iray ihany va no anao, ry ikaky? mba tsofy rano re aho, dia izaho koa, ry ikaky ô. Ary Esao dia nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany.
39 Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
Dia namaly Isaka rainy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, tsy ho amin’ ny tsiron’ ny tany ny fonenanao, ary tsy ho amin’ ny andon’ ny lanitra avy any ambony;
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.
Fa ny sabatrao no hivelomanao, ary ny rahalahinao no hotompoinao; kanefa, raha mby amin’ izay andro hahafahanao. Dia hotapahinao ny ziogany ho afaka amin’ ny vozonao.
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.
Ary Esao nanao fo-lentika tamin’ i Jakoba noho ny tso-drano izay nataon-drainy taminy; dia hoy Esao anakampo: Efa antomotra ny andro hisaonana an’ ikaky, dia hamono an’ i Jakoba rahalahiko aho.
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.
Ary nisy namambara tamin-dRebeka izany tenin’ i Esao zanany lahimatoa izany; dia naniraka nampaka an’ i Jakoba zanany faralahy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, Esao rahalahinao mikasa hamaly ny nataonao ka hamono anao.
43 Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:
Ary ankehitriny, anaka, araho ny teniko; miainga ka mandosira ho any Harana, dia any amin’ i Labana anadahiko.
44 And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,
Ary mitoera any aminy andro vitsivitsy mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeran’ ny rahalahinao,
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?
eny, mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeran’ ny rahalahinao aminao, ka ho hadinony izay nataonao taminy; dia haniraka aho ka hampaka anao any; hataoko ahoana no famoy anareo mirahalahy indray andro?
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.
Ary hoy Rebeka tamin’ Isaka: Tsy te-ho velona aho noho ireny zanakavavin’ ny Hetita; raha maka vady amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Hetita Jakoba, tahaka ireto izay avy amin’ ny zazavavy tompon-tany koa hataoko inona ny aiko?
