Genesis 27
1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
Awo Isaaka bwe yali ng’akaddiye nnyo n’amaaso ge nga gayimbadde, nga takyayinza kulaba, n’ayita Esawu mutabani we omukulu, n’amugamba nti, “Mutabani,” n’amuddamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Laba, nkaddiye, simanyi lwe ndifa.
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
Kale kaakano kwata by’oyizza, omutego gwo n’obusaale bwo, ogende mu nsiko onjiggire yo omuyiggo.
4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
Onteekereteekere ekyokulya ekiwooma ennyo kye njagala, okindeetere nkirye, ndyoke nkusabire omukisa nga sinnafa.”
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Ne Lebbeeka yali awo ng’awuliriza, Isaaka ng’agamba mutabani we omukulu Esawu. Awo Esawu bwe yagenda mu nsiko okuyigga omuyiggo aguleete,
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
Lebbeeka n’agamba mutabani we Yakobo owookubiri nti, “Mpulidde kitaawo ng’agamba muganda wo Esawu nti,
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before Yhwh before my death.
‘Ndeetera omuyiggo onteekereteekere ekyokulya ekiwooma obulungi, nkirye, ndyoke nkusabire omukisa eri Mukama nga sinnafa.’
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
Kale nno kaakano mwana wange wulira kye nkugamba.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
Genda eri ekisibo ondeeteremu embuzi bbiri ennungi, nfumbire kitaawo ekyokulya ekiwooma, nga bw’ayagala,
10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
okitwalire kitaawo akirye, alyoke akusabire omukisa nga tannafa.”
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
Naye Yakobo n’agamba Lebbeeka nnyina nti, “Muganda wange Esawu musajja wa byoya, so nga nze ndi muweweevu.
12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
Singa kitange anampeeweetako, siifuuke mulimba gy’ali, ne nfuna ekikolimo mu kifo ky’okufuna omukisa?”
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Nnyina n’amuddamu nti, “Ekikolimo kyo kibe ku nze mwana wange; wulira ekigambo kyange ogende ozindeetere.”
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
Awo Yakobo n’agenda, n’azikwata n’azireeteera nnyina, n’ateekerateekera Isaaka ekyokulya ekiwooma nga bwe yayagala.
15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
Lebbeeka n’addira ebyambalo ebisinga obulungi ebya Esawu, mutabani we omukulu, ebyali mu nnyumba; n’abyambaza Yakobo mutabani we omuto,
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
era n’addira n’amaliba g’embuzi n’agamwambaza ku mikono ne ku bitundu ebyobulago ebiweweera.
17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
N’alyoka addira ekyokulya ekiwooma n’omugaati bye yafumba, n’abikwasa Yakobo mutabani we.
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
Awo Yakobo n’agenda eri kitaawe, n’amugamba nti, “Kitange nzuuno.” Ye n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe ani mwana wange?”
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Yakobo n’agamba kitaawe nti, “Nze Esawu omwana wo omubereberye, nkoze nga bw’oŋŋambye. Kale kaakano tuula olye ku muyiggo gwange olyoke onsabire omukisa.”
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, because Yhwh thy God brought it to me.
Naye Isaaka n’abuuza mutabani we nti, “Ogufunye otya amangu bw’otyo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Mukama Katonda wo ampadde omukisa.”
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
Awo Isaaka n’agamba mutabani we nti, “Sembera wendi mutabani, nkukwateko, ntegeerere ddala nga ggwe mutabani wange Esawu.”
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Yakobo kwe kusembera awali Isaaka kitaawe. Bwe yamuwulira n’agamba nti, “Eddoboozi lya Yakobo naye emikono gya Esawu.”
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
N’atamutegeera kubanga emikono gye gyaliko obwoya ng’egya Esawu muganda we, kwe kumuwa omukisa.
24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ddala gwe mwana wange Esawu?” N’amuddamu nti, “Ye nze.”
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
N’alyoka amugamba nti, “Kale gundeetere, ndye ku muyiggo gwa mutabani wange, nkusabire omukisa.” N’alyoka agumuleetera, n’alya era n’amuleetera n’envinnyo n’anywa.
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Awo kitaawe Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Sembera onnywegere mwana wange.”
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Yhwh hath blessed:
N’amusemberera n’amunywegera, kitaawe n’awulira akaloosa ke ngoye ze n’amuwa omukisa ng’agamba nti, “Wulira akaloosa k’omwana wange, kali ng’akaloosa k’ennimiro Mukama gy’awadde omukisa.
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine:
Katonda akuwe omusulo ogw’omu ggulu, n’obugimu bw’ensi, era akuwe emmere ey’empeke nnyingi n’envinnyo.
29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
Abantu bakuweerezenga, n’amawanga gakuvuunamirenga. Fuganga baganda bo, ne batabani ba nnyoko bakuvuunamirenga. Akolimirwe oyo anaakukolimiranga era aweebwenga omukisa oyo anaakusabiranga omukisa.”
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Amangu ddala nga Isaaka yakamala okuwa Yakobo omukisa, era nga Yakobo tannava wali Isaaka kitaabwe, Esawu n’atuuka ng’ava okuyigga.
31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Era naye n’ateekateeka emmere ey’akawoowo n’agireetera kitaawe. N’agamba kitaawe nti, “Kitange golokoka olye ku muyiggo gw’omwana wo olyoke onsabire omukisa.”
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
Kitaawe Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Gwe ani?” Kwe kumuddamu nti, “Nze omwana wo omubereberye Esawu.”
33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
Olwo Isaaka n’akankana nnyo n’abuuza nti, “Ani oyo ayizze omuyiggo n’agundeetera ne ngulya ne ngumalawo nga tonnajja ne mmusabira omukisa? Era ddala ajja kuweebwa omukisa.”
34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
Awo Esawu bwe yawulira ebigambo bya kitaawe ebyo, n’atulika n’akaaba nnyo nnyini, n’agamba kitaawe nti, “Nange mpa omukisa, ayi kitange.”
35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Muganda wo azze n’annimba era akututteko omukisa gwo.”
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Esawu n’ayogera nti, “Teyatuumibwa linnya lye Yakobo? Laba, anyingiridde emirundi gino gyombi; yanziggyako eby’obukulu bwange, ate kaakano antutteko n’omukisa gwange.” Kwe kubuuza kitaawe nti, “Tondekeddeewo mukisa n’akatono?”
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with grain and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
Isaaka n’addamu Esawu nti, “Laba, mmufudde mukama wo, era mmuwadde baganda be bonna babe baweereza be, era mmusabidde abe n’emmere ey’empeke wamu n’envinnyo nga bingi ddala. Kale nnaakukolera ki mwana wange?”
38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Esawu n’abuuza kitaawe nti, “Tolinaawo mukisa na gumu kitange? Nange mpa omukisa, ayi kitange.” Bw’atyo Esawu n’ayimusa eddoboozi lye n’akaaba.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
Awo Isaaka kitaawe n’amuddamu nti, “Laba, onooberanga mu nsi enkalu, era toofunenga musulo guva waggulu mu ggulu.
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
Ekitala kyo kye kinaakukuumanga, era onooweerezanga muganda wo. Naye bw’olimwesimattulako, oliba weefunidde eddembe.”
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
Awo Esawu n’akyawa muganda we Yakobo ng’amulanga omukisa kitaabwe gwe yamuwa. Esawu n’alyoka ayogera nti, “Ennaku ez’okukungubagira kitange zinaatera okutuuka. Bwe zirituuka, muganda wange Yakobo nga mutta.”
42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
Kyokka Lebbeeka n’atuusibwako ebigambo bya Esawu mutabani we omukulu; kwe kutumya Yakobo mutabani we omuto, n’amugamba nti, “Laba, Esawu muganda wo ateekateeka okukutta.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
Kale nno kaakano mwana wange, okole nga bwe nkugamba: Golokoka oddukire ewa, mwannyinaze Labbaani ali mu Kalani,
44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away;
obeereko eyo, okutuusa obusungu bwa muganda wo nga bukkakkanye.
45 Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
Obusungu bwe buliba bumuweddeko, nga yeerabidde ky’omukoze, ne ndyoka ntuma ne bakunona. Kale lwaki mbafiirwa mwembi ku lunaku olumu?”
46 And Rebekah 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 which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
Lebbeeka n’alyoka ategeeza Isaaka nti, “Obulamu bwange bwetamiddwa olw’abakazi bano Abakiiti. Singa Yakobo awasa omu ku bakazi Abakiiti, nga bano, omu ku bakazi aba muno, obulamu bwange buliba tebukyangasa.”
