< 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.
Pada suatu hari, ketika Ishak sudah tua dan buta pula, dipanggilnya Esau, anaknya yang sulung, lalu berkata kepadanya, "Anakku!" "Ya, Ayah," jawab Esau.
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
Ishak berkata, "Engkau tahu bahwa saya sudah tua dan mungkin tidak akan hidup lama lagi.
3 Now therefore take, I pray you, your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
Jadi ambillah busur dan panah-panahmu, pergilah memburu seekor binatang di padang.
4 And make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless you before I die.
Masaklah yang enak seperti yang saya sukai, lalu bawalah kepada saya. Setelah saya memakannya, akan saya berikan berkat saya kepadamu sebelum saya mati."
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Percakapan Ishak dengan Esau itu didengar oleh Ribka. Maka setelah Esau berangkat untuk berburu,
6 And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak unto Esau your brother, saying,
berkatalah Ribka kepada Yakub, "Baru saja saya dengar ayahmu mengatakan kepada Esau begini,
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.
'Burulah seekor binatang dan masaklah yang enak untukku. Setelah aku memakannya, akan kuberikan berkatku kepadamu di hadapan TUHAN, sebelum aku mati.'
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
Nah, anakku," kata Ribka lagi, "dengarkanlah dan lakukanlah apa yang saya katakan ini.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury food for your father, such as he loves:
Pergilah ke tempat domba kita, dan pilihlah dua anak kambing yang gemuk-gemuk, supaya saya masak menjadi makanan kesukaan ayahmu.
10 And you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, and that he may bless you before his death.
Kemudian bawalah kepadanya supaya dimakannya, dan setelah itu ia akan memberikan berkatnya kepadamu sebelum ia meninggal."
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
Tetapi Yakub berkata kepada ibunya, "Ibu, bukankah badan Esau berbulu, sedangkan badan saya tidak?
12 My father possibly will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
Jangan-jangan ayah meraba badan saya dan mengetahui bahwa saya menipunya; nanti ia bukannya memberikan berkat, malahan mengutuki saya."
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be your curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Ibunya menjawab, "Jangan khawatir, Nak. Biar saya yang menanggung segala kutuknya. Lakukanlah saja apa yang saya katakan, pergilah mengambil kambing-kambing itu."
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
Maka pergilah Yakub mengambil kambing-kambing itu dan membawanya kepada ibunya, lalu Ribka memasak makanan kesukaan Ishak.
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:
Kemudian Ribka mengambil pakaian Esau yang paling bagus, yang disimpannya di rumah, lalu dikenakannya pada Yakub.
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
Ia membalutkan juga kulit anak kambing pada lengan dan leher Yakub yang tidak berbulu itu.
17 And she gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Lalu diberikannya kepada Yakub masakan yang enak itu dengan roti yang telah dibuatnya.
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who are you, my son?
Setelah itu pergilah Yakub kepada ayahnya dan berkata, "Ayah!" "Ya," jawab Ishak, "siapa engkau, Esau atau Yakub?"
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau your first born; I have done according as you bade me: arise, I pray you, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.
Jawab Yakub, "Esau, anak ayah yang sulung; pesan ayah sudah saya lakukan. Duduklah dan makanlah daging buruan yang saya bawakan ini, supaya ayah dapat memberkati saya."
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD your God brought it to me.
Ishak berkata, "Cepat sekali engkau mendapatnya, Nak." Jawab Yakub, "Karena TUHAN Allah yang disembah ayah telah menolong saya."
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray you, that I may feel you, my son, whether you be my very son Esau or not.
Lalu kata Ishak kepada Yakub, "Marilah dekat-dekat supaya saya dapat merabamu. Benarkah engkau Esau?"
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.
Yakub mendekati ayahnya, dan ayahnya itu merabanya serta berkata, "Suaramu seperti suara Yakub, tetapi lenganmu seperti lengan Esau."
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
Ishak tidak mengenali Yakub karena lengannya berbulu seperti lengan Esau. Tetapi pada saat Yakub hendak diberkatinya,
24 And he said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
ia masih bertanya sekali lagi, "Benarkah engkau Esau?" "Benar," jawab Yakub.
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
Lalu berkatalah Ishak, "Berilah saya daging itu. Setelah saya makan akan saya berikan berkat saya kepadamu." Yakub memberikan daging itu kepadanya dan juga sedikit anggur untuk diminum.
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Lalu berkatalah ayahnya kepadanya, "Marilah lebih dekat lagi, Nak, dan ciumlah saya."
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 the LORD has blessed:
Ketika Yakub mendekat untuk mengecupnya, Ishak mencium bau pakaian Esau, lalu diberkatinya dia. Kata Ishak, "Bau sedap anak saya seperti bau padang yang telah diberkati TUHAN.
28 Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
Semoga Allah memberikan kepadamu embun dari langit, dan membuat ladang-ladangmu subur! Semoga Dia memberikan kepadamu gandum dan anggur berlimpah-limpah!
29 Let people serve you, and nations bow down to you: be lord over your brethren, and let your mother's sons bow down to you: cursed be every one that curses you, and blessed be he that blesses you.
Semoga bangsa-bangsa menjadi hambamu, dan suku-suku bangsa takluk kepadamu. Semoga engkau menguasai semua sanak saudaramu, dan keturunan ibumu sujud di hadapanmu. Semoga terkutuklah semua orang yang mengutuk engkau dan diberkatilah semua orang yang memberkati engkau."
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.
Segera sesudah Ishak memberikan berkatnya dan Yakub pergi, Esau, abangnya, pulang dari berburu.
31 And he also had made savoury food, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me.
Dia juga memasak makanan yang enak lalu membawanya kepada ayahnya, katanya, "Duduklah, Ayah, dan makanlah daging yang saya bawa untuk Ayah, supaya Ayah dapat memberkati saya."
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.
"Siapa engkau?" tanya Ishak. "Esau anak Ayah yang sulung," jawabnya.
33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
Ishak mulai gemetar seluruh tubuhnya, dan dia bertanya, "Jika begitu, siapa yang telah memburu binatang dan membawanya kepada saya tadi? Saya telah memakannya sebelum engkau tiba. Lalu saya telah berikan berkat saya yang terakhir kepadanya, dan kini berkat itu menjadi miliknya selama-lamanya."
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.
Setelah Esau mendengar itu, dia menangis dengan nyaring dan penuh kepedihan, lalu katanya, "Berkatilah saya juga, Ayah!"
35 And he said, Your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your blessing.
Ishak berkata, "Adikmu telah datang kemari dan menipu saya. Dia telah mengambil berkat yang sebetulnya akan saya berikan kepadamu."
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?
Esau berkata, "Inilah kedua kalinya dia menipu saya. Pantas namanya Yakub. Dia telah mengambil hak saya sebagai anak sulung, dan sekarang ia mengambil pula berkat yang untuk saya. Apakah Ayah tidak mempunyai berkat lain bagi saya?"
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto you, my son?
Ishak menjawab, "Saya telah menjadikan dia tuanmu, dan semua sanak saudaranya saya jadikan hambanya. Saya telah memberikan kepadanya gandum dan anggur. Sekarang tidak ada apa-apa lagi yang dapat saya lakukan untukmu, Nak!"
38 And Esau said unto his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Esau tidak mau berhenti memohon kepada ayahnya, "Apakah Ayah hanya mempunyai satu berkat saja? Berkatilah saya juga, Ayah!" Lalu mulailah dia menangis lagi.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
Kemudian Ishak berkata kepadanya, "Tidak akan ada embun dari langit bagimu, tidak akan ada ladang yang subur untukmu.
40 And by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck.
Engkau akan hidup dari pedangmu, namun menjadi hamba adikmu, tetapi bila engkau memberontak, engkau akan lepas dari kuasanya."
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.
Maka Esau membenci Yakub karena ayahnya telah memberikan berkatnya kepada adiknya itu. Pikirnya, "Tidak lama lagi ayah meninggal dan sehabis kita berkabung, Yakub akan saya bunuh!"
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, your brother Esau, as concerning you, does comfort himself, purposing to kill you.
Ketika Ribka mendengar tentang rencana Esau itu, ia menyuruh memanggil Yakub dan berkata, "Dengarkan, abangmu Esau bermaksud membalas dendam dan membunuh engkau.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee you to Laban my brother to Haran;
Nah, lakukanlah apa yang saya katakan ini. Pergilah dengan segera kepada abang saya Laban di Haran,
44 And tarry with him a few days, until your brother's fury turn away;
dan tinggallah bersama dia untuk beberapa waktu lamanya, sampai kemarahan abangmu reda
45 Until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forget that which you have done to him: then I will send, and fetch you from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
dan ia melupakan apa yang telah engkau lakukan terhadapnya. Kemudian saya akan menyuruh orang membawamu pulang kemari. Tidak mau saya kehilangan kedua anak saya pada hari yang sama."
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?
Maka berkatalah Ribka kepada Ishak, "Saya jemu dan bosan melihat istri-istri Esau dari suku bangsa asing itu. Jika Yakub juga kawin dengan gadis Het, lebih baik saya mati saja."
