< 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.
Nígbà ti Isaaki di arúgbó, ojú rẹ̀ sì ti di bàìbàì tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí kò le ríran. Ó pe Esau àkọ́bí rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ọmọ mi.” Esau sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí.”
2 And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.
Isaaki sì wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí mo di arúgbó, èmi kò sì mọ ọjọ́ tí èmi yóò kú.
3 Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,
Nítorí náà, mú ohun èlò ọdẹ rẹ, apó àti ọrún, nísinsin yìí kí o sì lọ pa ẹran wá fún mi nínú igbó.
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.
Kí o sì ṣe ẹran àdídùn fún mi, irú èyí tí mo fẹ́ràn, kí o gbe wá fún mi kí n jẹ, kí n sì súre fún ọ kí n tó kú.”
5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment,
Ṣùgbọ́n Rebeka ń fetí léko gbọ́ nígbà tí Isaaki ń bá Esau ọmọ rẹ̀ sọ̀rọ̀. Nítorí náà, nígbà ti Esau ti ṣe ọdẹ lọ sínú igbó,
6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:
Rebeka sọ fún Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Wò ó, mo gbọ́ tí baba rẹ ń wí fún Esau ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ pé,
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.
‘Pa ẹran fún mi wá, kí o sì ṣe oúnjẹ àdídùn fún mi láti jẹ, kí n ba à le súre fún ọ níwájú Olúwa kí èmi tó kú.’
8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:
Nísinsin yìí ọmọ mi, gbọ́ tèmi, kí o sì ṣe ohun tí èmi yóò wí fún ọ.
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:
Lọ sínú agbo ẹran, kí o sì mú ọmọ ewúrẹ́ méjì, kí ó lè ṣe oúnjẹ àdídùn fún baba rẹ, irú èyí tí ó fẹ́ràn dáradára.
10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
Ìwọ yóò sì gbé e tọ baba rẹ lọ, kí òun ba à lè jẹ ẹ́, kí ó sì súre fún ọ, kí ó tó kú.”
11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
Jakọbu sì wí fún Rebeka ìyá rẹ̀ pé, “Ṣùgbọ́n Esau ẹ̀gbọ́n mi jẹ́ ènìyàn onírun lára, bẹ́ẹ̀ alára ọ̀bọ̀rọ́ sì ni èmi,
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.
bí baba mi bá fọwọ́ kàn mi ń kọ́? Èmi yóò jọ ẹlẹ́tàn lójú rẹ̀, dípò kí ó súre fún mi, èmi yóò sì mú ègún wá sórí ara mi.”
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.
Ìyá rẹ̀ wá wí fun un pé, “Ọmọ mi jẹ́ kí ègún náà wá sórí mi, sá à ṣe ohun tí mo wí, kí o sì mú wọn wá fún mi.”
14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.
Jakọbu sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ìyá rẹ̀ wí fun un, Rebeka sì ṣe oúnjẹ àdídùn náà, irú èyí tí Isaaki fẹ́ràn.
15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:
Nígbà náà ni Rebeka mú èyí tí ó dára jù nínú aṣọ Esau ọmọ rẹ̀ àgbà tí ó wà nínú ilé Rebeka, ó sì fi wọ Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ àbúrò.
16 And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.
Ó sì fi awọ ewúrẹ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì bo ọwọ́ àti ibi tí ọ̀bọ̀rọ́ ọrùn.
17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.
Nígbà náà ni ó gbé ẹran dídùn náà àti oúnjẹ tí ó ti sè lé Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.
18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?
Jakọbu wọlé lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, “Baba mi.” Baba rẹ sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí, ìwọ ta ni, ọmọ mi?”
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.
Jakọbu sì fèsì pé, “Èmi ni Esau àkọ́bí rẹ, èmi ti ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti sọ fún mi, jọ̀wọ́ dìde jókòó, kí o sì jẹ nínú ẹran igbó mi tí mo ti sè, kí o ba à le súre fún mi pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ.”
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.
Isaaki tún béèrè pé, “Ọmọ mi, báwo ni ó ṣe tètè yá ọ bẹ́ẹ̀?” Jakọbu sì tún dáhùn pé, “Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ló fún mi pa.”
21 And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.
Nígbà náà ni Isaaki wí fún Jakọbu pé, “Súnmọ́ mi, kí n le è fọwọ́ kàn ọ́, kí n lè mọ̀ bóyá Esau ọmọ mi ni nítòótọ́ tàbí òun kọ́.”
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.
Jakọbu sì súnmọ́ Isaaki baba rẹ̀. Isaaki sì fọwọ́ kàn án, ó sì wí pé, “Ohùn ni ohùn Jakọbu; ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ ni ọwọ́ Esau.”
23 And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,
Kò sì dá Jakọbu mọ̀ nítorí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ní irun bí i ti Esau arákùnrin rẹ, nítorí náà, ó súre fún un
24 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.
ó sì bi í léèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni Esau ọmọ mi ni tòótọ́?” Jakọbu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi ni.”
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,
Nígbà náà ni Isaaki wí pé, “Gbé ẹran igbó náà súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi, kí èmi kí ó jẹ ẹ́, kí èmi sì súre fún ọ láti inú ọkàn mi wá.” Jakọbu sì gbé e wá ó sì jẹ ẹ́, ó sì tún fún un ní wáìnì, ó sì mú un pẹ̀lú.
26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.
Nígbà náà ni Isaaki baba rẹ̀ wí fun un pé, “Súnmọ́ mi, ọmọ mi, kí o sì fẹnukò mí ní ẹnu.”
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.
Ó sì súnmọ́ ọn, ó sì fẹnukò ó ní ẹnu. Nígbà tí Isaaki gbọ́ òórùn aṣọ rẹ̀, ó súre fún un ó wí pé, “Wò ó òórùn ọmọ mi dàbí òórùn oko tí Olúwa ti bùkún.
28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.
Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fún ọ nínú ìrì ọ̀run àti nínú ọ̀rá ilẹ̀ àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọkà àti wáìnì tuntun.
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.
Kí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kí ó máa sìn ọ́, kí àwọn ènìyàn sì máa tẹríba fún ọ, máa ṣe olórí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ, kí àwọn iyèkan rẹ sì máa wólẹ̀ fún ọ Fífibú ni àwọn ẹni tó fi ọ́ bú, ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ẹni tí ó súre fún ọ.”
30 Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,
Bí Isaaki ti súre tán tí Jakọbu ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jáde kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀ ni Esau ti oko ọdẹ dé.
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.
Òun pẹ̀lú ṣe ẹran dídùn, ó sì gbé e tọ baba rẹ̀ wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Baba mi, dìde jókòó, kí o sì jẹ nínú ẹran igbó tí mo ti ṣè, kí o sì súre fún mi.”
32 And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.
Isaaki baba rẹ̀ sì bi í wí pé, “Ìwọ ta ni?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi Esau, àkọ́bí rẹ ni.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Isaaki wárìrì gidigidi, ó sì wí pé, “Ta ni ẹni náà, tí ó ti pa ẹran igbó tí ó sì ti gbe wá fún mi, tí mo sì ti jẹ ẹ́ kí ó tó dé? Mo sì ti súre fún un, sì wò ó dájúdájú a ó sì bùkún un!”
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.
Nígbà tí Esau gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ baba rẹ̀, ó ké, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọkún kíkorò, ó sì wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Baba mi súre fún èmi náà, àní fún èmi náà pẹ̀lú.”
35 And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.
Ṣùgbọ́n Isaaki wí pé, “Àbúrò rẹ ti fi ẹ̀tàn wá, ó sì ti gba ìbùkún rẹ lọ.”
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?
Esau sì wí pé, “Lásán ni a pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jakọbu bí? Ní ìgbà méjì yìí ni ó ti tàn mí jẹ: ní àkọ́kọ́, ó gba ogún ìbí mi, nísinsin yìí, ó tún gba ìbùkún mi!” O sì béèrè pé, “Ṣe o kò wá fi ìre kankan sílẹ̀ fun mi ni?”
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?
Isaaki sì dá Esau lóhùn pé, “Mo ti fi ṣe olórí rẹ àti àwọn ìbátan rẹ ni mo fi ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un, àti ọkà àti wáìnì ni mo ti fi lé e lọ́wọ́ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, kí ni ó tún kù tí ǹ bá tún fún ọ báyìí ọmọ mi?”
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,
Esau sì wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Ṣe ìre kan ṣoṣo ni ìwọ ní lẹ́nu ni baba mi? Súre fún èmi náà, baba mi.” Esau sì sọkún kíkankíkan.
39 Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
Isaaki baba rẹ̀ sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Ibùjókòó rẹ yóò jìnnà sí ọ̀rá ilẹ̀, àti sí ibi ìrì ọ̀run láti òkè wá.
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.
Nípa idà rẹ ni ìwọ yóò máa gbé, ìwọ yóò sì máa sin àbúrò rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ní ìkẹyìn, nígbà tí ìwọ bá di alágbára ìwọ yóò já àjàgà rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́rùn rẹ.”
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.
Esau sì kórìíra Jakọbu nítorí ìre tí baba rẹ̀ sú fún un, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “Baba mi sá à ti fẹ́rẹ kú, nígbà náà ni èmi ó pa Jakọbu, arákùnrin mi.”
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.
Nígbà tí Rebeka sì gbọ́ ohun tí Esau àkọ́bí rẹ̀ wí, ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí Jakọbu, ó sì wí fun un pé, “Esau ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ ń tu ara rẹ̀ nínú pẹ̀lú èrò à ti pa ọ́.
43 Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:
Nítorí náà ọmọ mi, ṣe ohun tí èmi yóò sọ fún ọ, sálọ sọ́dọ̀ Labani ẹ̀gbọ́n mi ní Harani.
44 And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,
Jókòó sí ibẹ̀ títí di ìgbà tí ìbínú ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ yóò fi rọ̀.
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?
Nígbà tí ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ kò bá bínú sí ọ mọ́, tí ó sì ti gbàgbé ohun tí ìwọ ṣe sí i, èmí ó ránṣẹ́ sí ọ láti padà wá. Èéṣe tí èmi ó fi pàdánù ẹ̀yin méjèèjì ní ọjọ́ kan náà?”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Rebeka wí fún Isaaki pé, “Ayé sì sú mi nítorí àwọn ọmọbìnrin Hiti wọ̀nyí. Bí Jakọbu bá fẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Hiti wọ̀nyí, ó kúkú sàn kí n má wà láààyè.”
