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.
Na, i a Ihaka kua koroheketia, kua atarua hoki nga kanohi, i kore ai ia e kite, ka karangatia e ia a Ehau, tana tama matamua, ka mea ki a ia, E taku tama: a ka mea ia ki a ia, Tenei ahau.
2 And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.
Na ka mea ia, Nana, kua koroheke ahau, kahore hoki ahau e mohio ki te ra e mate ai ahau:
3 Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,
Na reira mauria e koe au rakau, tau papa pere me tau kopere, ka haere ki te koraha ki te hopu kai maku;
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.
Ka taka ai i tetahi kai reka maku, hei taku i pai ai, ka mau mai ai ki ahau kia kai ahau; kia manaaki ai toku wairua i a koe i mua o toku matenga.
5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment,
A i rongo a Ripeka i te korerotanga a Ihaka ki a Ehau, ki tana tama. Na ko te haerenga o Ehau ki te koraha ki te hopu kai hei maunga mai mana.
6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:
Na ka korero a Ripeka ki a Hakopa, ki tana tama, ka mea, Nana, kua rongo ahau i tou papa e korero ana ki a Ehau, ki tou tuakana, e mea ana,
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.
Mauria mai tetahi kai maku, ka taka ai i tetahi kai reka maku, kia kai ahau, kia manaaki ai ahau i a koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, kei mate ahau.
8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:
Na, whakarongo ki toku reo, e taku tama, kia rite ki taku e whakahau nei ki a koe.
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:
Haere inaianei ki te kahui, ka mau mai ki ahau i reira kia rua nga kuao papai o nga koati; a maku ena e taka hei kai reka ma tou papa, hei pera me tana e pai ai:
10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
A mau e kawe ki tou papa, kia kai ia, kia manaaki ai ia i a koe kei wha mate ia.
11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Ripeka, ki tona whaea, Na ko Ehau, ko toku tuakana, he tangata puhuruhuru, ko ahau ia he kiri maheni:
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.
Tera pea toku papa e whawha i ahau, a ki tana ka rite ahau ki te tangata tinihanga: a he kanga te mea e riro mai i ahau, kahore he manaaki.
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.
Na ko te meatanga a tona whaea ki a ia, Hei runga i ahau tou kanga, e taku tama: whakarongo mai ia ki toku reo, haere, tikina aua mea ki ahau.
14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.
Na ka haere ia, ka tikina, ka mauria mai ki tona whaea: a ka taka e tona whaea he kai reka, he pera me ta tona papa i pai ai.
15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:
Na ka tikina e Ripeka nga kakahu papai o Ehau, o tana tama o mua, i a ia hoki aua mea i roto i te whare; a whakakakahuria ana e ia ki a Hakopa, ki tana tama o muri:
16 And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.
A ka whakapiritia e ia nga hiako o nga kuao koati ki ona ringa, ki te wahi maeneene hoki o tona ka kai:
17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.
Na ka hoatu e ia te kai reka me te taro i hanga e ia ki te ringa o Hakopa, o tana tama.
18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?
Na ka tae ia ki tona papa, ka mea, E toku matua: a ka mea a, Tenei ahau; ko wai koe, e taku ama?
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.
Na ka mea a Hakopa ki tona papa, Ko Ehau ahau, ko tau matamua: kua oti i ahau tau i ki mai ai ki ahau: na maranga ake, e noho ki te kai i te kai i hopukia nei e ahau, kia manaaki ai tou wairua i ahau.
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.
A ka mea a Ihaka ki tana tama, Na te aha i hohoro ai te kitea e koe, e taku tama? Ka mea ia, Na Ihowa hoki, na tou Atua, i homai kia hohoro.
21 And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.
A ka mea a Ihaka ki a Hakopa, Nuku mai nei na, kia whawha ahau ki a koe, e taku tama, ko taku tama tonu ranei koe, ko Ehau, kahore ranei.
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.
Na ka neke atu a Hakopa ki a Ihaka, ki tona papa, a ka whawha tera i a ia, ka mea, Ko te reo, no Hakopa te reo, ko nga ringa ia, no Ehau nga ringaringa.
23 And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,
A kihai ia i mohio ki a ia, no te mea he huruhuru ona ringa, i rite ki nga ringa o Ehau, o tona tuakana: na ka manaaki ia i a ia.
24 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.
A ka mea, Ko taku tama pu ranei koe, ko Ehau? A ka mea ia, Ko ahau tenei.
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,
Na ka mea ia, Kawea mai kia tata ki ahau, kia kai ahau i te kai i hopukia e taku tama, kia manaaki ai toku wairua i a koe. Na kawea atu ana e ia ki a ia, a ka kai ia: i mauria atu ano e ia he waina ki a ia, a inu ana ia.
26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.
Katahi ka mea a Ihaka, tona papa, ki a ia, Nuku mai nei, ka kihi i ahau, e taku tama.
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.
Na ka neke atu ia, a ka kihi ia i a ia: a ka hongi ia i te haunga o ona kakahu, ka manaaki i a ia, ka mea, Titiro hoki, rite tahi te haunga o taku tama ki te haunga o te parae i manaakitia e Ihowa:
28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.
Kia homai ano e te Atua ki a koe te tomairangi o te rangi, me te momonatanga o te whenua, kia nui ano hoki te witi me te waina:
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.
Kia mahi nga iwi ki a koe, kia piko iho hoki nga tauiwi ki a koe: kia waiho koe hei rangatira mo ou teina, a kia piko iho ki a koe nga tama a tou whaea: kia kanga te tangata e kanga ana i a koe, a kia manaakitia te tangata e manaaki ana i a koe.
30 Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,
A, mutu ana te manaaki a Ihaka i a Hakopa, puta kau atu ano a Hakopa i te aroaro o Ihaka, o tona papa, na ka tae mai a Ehau, tona tuakana, i tana hopu kirehe mohoao.
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.
Kua oti ano hoki i a ia tetahi kai reka te taka, a kawea ana ki tona papa, na ka mea ki tona papa, Kia ara ake toku papa ki te kai i te mea i hopukia mai e tana tama, kia manaaki ai tou wairua i ahau.
32 And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.
Na ka mea a Ihaka, tona papa, ki a ia, Ko wai koe? A ka mea ia, ko tau tama ahau, ko Ehau, ko tau matamua.
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.
Na tino wiri rawa ana a Ihaka, a ka mea, Ha, ko wai ra tenei i hopukia nei e ia he kai, a kawea ana mai ki ahau, a kainga katoatia ana e ahau i te mea kahore ano koe i tae mai, a manaakitia ana ia e ahau? ae ra, ka manaakitia ano ia.
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.
A, i te rongonga o Ehau i nga kupu a tona papa, ka tangi ia, he tangi nui, he tangi tiwerawera, a ka mea ki tona papa, Manaakitia ahau, ae ra, ahau ano hoki, e toku papa.
35 And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.
A ka mea ia, I haere tinihanga mai tou teina, a riro ana tou manaaki i a ia.
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?
Na ka mea ia, Ka tika ha te tapanga i a ia ko Hakopa? kua rua nei hoki oku mamingatanga e ia: ko toku matamuatanga kua riro i a ia; a inaianei kua riro toku manaaki i a ia. Ka mea ano ia, Kahore ranei i mahue atu ki a koe tetahi manaaki moku?
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?
Na ka whakahoki a Ihaka, ka mea ki a Ehau, Na, kua waiho ia e ahau hei rangatira mou, kua hoatu hoki ona tuakana katoa ki a ia hei apa; kua whakaukia hoki ia e ahau ki te witi, ki te waina: a he aha ra mau hei meatanga maku, e taku tama?
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,
Na ka mea a Ehau ki tona papa, Kotahi tonu ia tau manaaki, e toku papa? manaakitia ahau, ae ra, ahau ano hoki, e toku papa. Na nui atu te reo o Ehau ki te tangi.
39 Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
Na ka whakahoki a Ihaka, tona papa, ka mea ki a ia, Na, no te momonatanga o te whenua te nohoanga mou, no te tomairangi hoki o te rangi i runga;
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.
Ma tau hoari hoki e ora ai koe, me mahi ano koe ki tou teina; a tenei ake, kei tou kakenga hei rangatira, na ka wahia atu e koe tana ioka i tou kaki.
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.
Na ka mauahara a Ehau ki a Hakopa mo te manaaki i manaakitia ai ia e tona papa; a ka mea a Ehau i roto i tona ngakau, E tata ana nga ra e uhungatia ai toku papa; ko reira ahau patu ai i toku teina, i a Hakopa.
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.
Na ka korerotia ki a Ripeka nga kupu a Ehau, a tana tama o mua: a ka tono tangata ia ki te karanga i a Hakopa, i tana tama o muri, ka mea ki a ia, Na, tenei tou tuakana, a Ehau, mo te wahi ki a koe, te whakamarie nei i a ia, te mea nei ki te pat u i a koe.
43 Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:
No konei, e taku tama, whakarongo ki toku reo; whakatika, e rere ki a Rapana, ki toku tungane, ki Harana;
44 And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,
Hei a ia koe noho ai mo etahi rangi, kia tahuri atu ra ano te aritarita o tou tuakana;
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?
Kia tahuri ke atu ra ano i a koe te riri a tou tuakana, kia wareware hoki i a ia tau i mea ai ki a ia: katahi ahau ka tono tangata ki te tiki atu i a koe i reira: he aha kia tangohia atu ai korua tokorua i ahau i te rangi kotahi?
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.
Na ka mea a Ripeka ki a Ihaka, Kei te hoha ahau ki te ora i nga tamahine a Hete: ki te tango a Hakopa i tetahi wahine mana i roto i nga tamahine a Hete, i tetahi e penei ana me enei tamahine o te whenua nei, hei aha ake moku te ora?
