Genesis 27
1 And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I [am here].
Isake atakalamba maso ake anachita khungu mwakuti sankatha kuona. Iye anayitana mwana wake wamkulu Esau nati kwa iye, “Mwana wanga.” Iye anayankha, “Ine abambo.”
2 And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.
Isake anati, “Tsopano ine ndakalamba, ndipo sindidziwa tsiku langa lakufa.
3 Now then take the weapons, both your quiver and your bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
Tsono tenga zida zako, muvi wako ndi uta, pita kuthengo ukandiphere nyama.
4 and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you, before I die.
Undikonzere chakudya chabwino monga muja ndimakonderamu ndipo ubwere nacho kwa ine kuti ndidye ndi kuti ndikudalitse ndisanamwalire.”
5 And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
Koma Rebeka amamvetsera pamene Isake amayankhula ndi mwana wake Esau. Esau atanyamuka kupita kuthengo kukaphera abambo ake nyama,
6 And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying,
Rebeka anati kwa mwana wake Yakobo, “Taona ndamva abambo ako akuwuza mʼbale wako Esau kuti,
7 Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless you before the Lord before I die.
‘Bweretsere nyama yakutchire ndipo undikonzere chakudya chokoma kuti ndidye; kuti ndikudalitse pamaso pa Yehova ndisanamwalire.’
8 Now then, my son, listen to me, as I command you.
Tsopano mwana wanga, mvetsetsa ndipo uchite zimene ndikuwuze:
9 And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for your father, as he likes.
Pita ku khola, ukatenge ana ambuzi abwino awiri, kuti ndikonzere abambo ako chakudya chokoma monga amakondera.
10 And you shall bring them in to your father, and he shall eat, that your father may bless you before he dies.
Kenaka upite nacho chakudyacho kwa abambo ako kuti adye ndi kukudalitsa asanafe.”
11 And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
Koma Yakobo anati kwa Rebeka amayi ake, “Komatu mʼbale wanga Esau ndi munthu wa khungu la ubweya zedi, ndipo ine ndine munthu wa khungu losalala.
12 Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.
Mwina abambo anga adzandikhudza, ndipo ndidzaoneka kuti ndawapusitsa. Tsono ndizadzitengera temberero mʼmalo mwa madalitso.”
13 And his mother said to him, On me be your curse, son; only listen to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
Amayi ake anati kwa iye, “Mwana wanga, temberero limenelo ligwere ine. Iwe ungochita zimene ine ndikukuwuza; pita kanditengere timbuzito.”
14 So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
Choncho anapita nakatenga timbuzito ndi kubwera nato kwa amayi ake. Choncho Rebeka anaphika chakudya chokoma monga momwe Isake amakondera.
15 And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.
Tsono Rebeka anatenga zovala zabwino kwambiri za Esau mwana wake wamkulu zimene zinali mʼnyumba namuveka Yakobo.
16 And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
Anamuvekanso manja ake ndi khosi lake ndi zikopa za mwana wambuzi.
17 And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
Kenaka, anamupatsa Yakobo chakudya chokoma chija chimene anaphika pamodzi ndi buledi.
18 And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who are you, son?
Yakobo anapita kwa abambo ake ndipo anati, “Abambo anga.” Ndipo anayankha, “Eya, kodi ndiwe mwana wanga uti?”
19 And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau your firstborn, have done as you told me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.
Yakobo anati kwa abambo ake, “Ndine Esau mwana wanu woyamba. Ndachita monga munandiwuzira. Chonde dzukani ndi kukhala tsonga kuti mudyeko nyama ndakukonzeraniyi kuti tsono mundidalitse.”
20 And Isaac said to his son, What is this which you have quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord your God presented before me.
Isake anafunsa mwana wake, “Wayipeza msanga chotere bwanji mwana wanga?” Iye anayankha, “Yehova Mulungu wanu anandithandiza kuti ndiyipeze.”
21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel you, son, if you are my son Esau or not.
Pamenepo Isake anati kwa Yakobo, “Tabwera pafupi ndikukhudze mwana wanga, kuti ndidziwedi ngati uli mwana wanga Esau kapena ayi.”
22 And Jacob drew near to his father Isaac, and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
Yakobo anasendera kufupi ndi abambo ake Isake ndipo anamukhudza nati, “Mawuwa ndi mawu a Yakobo koma mikonoyi ndi mikono ya Esau.”
23 And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,
Sanamuzindikire, popeza mikono yake inali ndi ubweya ngati ya mʼbale wake Esau; choncho anamudalitsa.
24 and he said, Are you my son Esau? and he said, I [am].
Isake anafunsa, “Kodi ndiwedi mwana wanga Esau?” Yakobo anayankha, “Inde ndine.”
25 And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of your venison, son, that my soul may bless you; and he brought [it] near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Ndipo iye anati, “Mwana wanga, patseko nyama yakoyo ndidye kuti ndikudalitse.” Yakobo anabwera ndi nyama ija kwa Isake ndipo anadya. Kenaka anamupatsanso vinyo ndipo anamwa.
26 And Isaac his father said to him, Draw near to me, and kiss me, son.
Tsono Isake anati kwa Yakobo, “Bwera kuno mwana wanga undipsompsone.”
27 And he drew near and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.
Choncho anapita namupsompsona. Apa Isake anamva fungo la zovala zake, ndipo anamudalitsa nati, “Haa, fungo la mwana wanga lili ngati fungo la munda umene Yehova waudalitsa.
28 And may God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.
Mulungu akugwetsere mame akumwamba ndipo minda yako ibale tirigu wambiri ndi vinyo watsopano.
29 And let nations serve you, and princes bow down to you, and be you lord of your brother, and the sons of your father shall do you reverence; accursed is he that curses you, and blessed is he that blesses you.
Mitundu ya anthu ikutumikire iwe ndipo anthu akugwadire iwe. Ukhale wolamula abale ako, ndipo ana aamuna a amayi ako akugwadire. Amene akutemberera iwe atembereredwe ndipo amene adalitsa iwe adalitsike.”
30 And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Isake atatsiriza kudalitsa Yakobo, atangochoka pamaso pa abambo akewo, Esau anabwera kuchokera kosaka kuja.
31 And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me.
Nayenso anakonza chakudya chokoma nabwera nacho kwa abambo ake. Ndipo anati kwa iye, “Chonde abambo, dzukani mukhale tsonga kuti mudye nyamayi ndi kuti mundidalitse.”
32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your firstborn son Esau.
Abambo ake, Isake, anamufunsa kuti, “Ndiwe yani?” Iye anayankha, “Ndine mwana wanu woyamba Esau.”
33 And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before you came, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
Isake ananjenjemera kwambiri nati, “Nanga ndani uja anakapha nyama kutchire nʼkudzandipatsa? Ine ndadya kale, ndadya nyamayo iwe utangotsala pangʼono kubwera ndipo ndamudalitsa ndipo adzakhaladi wodalitsika.”
34 And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray you, me also, father.
Esau atamva mawu a abambo ake, analira mokweza ndi mowawidwa mtima nati kwa abambo ake, “Inenso dalitseni abambo anga!”
35 And he said to him, Your brother has come with subtlety, and taken your blessing.
Koma iye anati, “Mʼbale wako anabwera mwachinyengo ndipo watenga madalitso ako.”
36 And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for behold! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast you not left a blessing for me, father?
Esau anati, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chake iyeyu dzina lake lili Yakobo eti? Aka nʼkachiwiri kundinyenga: Anatenga ukulu wanga, pano watenga madalitso anga!” Kenaka anafunsa, “Kodi simunandisungireko ena madalitsowo?”
37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him your lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for you, son?
Koma Isake anamuyankha nati, “Ndamudalitsa iye kuti akhale wokulamulira iwe. Ndaperekanso abale ake onse kuti akhale omutumikira iye, ndipo ndamudalitsa ndi tirigu wambiri, ndi vinyo watsopano. Ndiye ndingakuchitirenso chiyani mwana wanga?”
38 And Esau said to his father, Hast you [only] one blessing, father? Bless, I pray you, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.
Esau anati kwa abambo ake, “Kodi muli ndi dalitso limodzi lokhali, abambo anga? Inenso mundidalitse chonde abambo anga!” Pomwepo Esau analira mokuwa.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.
Tsono Isake abambo ake anamuyankha kuti, “Malo ako okhalapo sadzabala dzinthu, ndipo mvula sidzagwa pa minda yako.
40 And you shall live by your sword, and shall serve your brother; and there shall be [a time] when you shall break and loosen his yoke from off your neck.
Udzakhala ndi moyo podalira lupanga ndipo udzatumikira mʼbale wako. Koma idzafika nthawi pamene udzakhala mfulu udzachotsa goli lake mʼkhosi mwako.”
41 And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw near, that I may kill my brother Jacob.
Ndipo Esau anamusungira chiwembu Yakobo chifukwa cha madalitso amene abambo ake anamupatsa. Esau anati kwa iye yekha, “Masiku olira abambo anga ayandikira; pambuyo pake ndidzamupha mʼbale wangayu Yakobo.”
42 And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau your brother threatens you to kill you.
Pamene Rebeka anamva zimene mwana wake wamkulu Esau ankaganiza, anayitanitsa Yakobo nati kwa iye, “Mʼbale wako Esau akulingalira zakuti akuphe kuti akulipsire.
43 Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
Tsopano mwana wanga, chita zimene ndinene: Nyamuka tsopano, uthawire kwa mlongo wanga Labani ku Harani.
44 And dwell with him certain days, until your brother's anger
Ukakhale naye kwa kanthawi mpaka mkwiyo wa mʼbale wako utatsika.
45 and rage depart from you, and he forget what you have done to him; and I will send and fetch you thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.
Tsono mkwiyo wa mʼbale wakoyo ukadzatsika ndi kuyiwala zonse wamuchitirazi, ndidzatuma munthu kuti adzakutenge. Nanga nditayirenji nonse awiri nthawi imodzi?”
46 And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, therefore should I live?
Tsono Rebeka anati kwa Isake, “Ine sindikukondwera nawo anamwali a Chihiti. Ndipo ngati Yakobo angapeze mbeta kuno mwa anamwali a Chihitiwa, ndiye kuli bwino kungofa.”
