Genesis 27
1 And it comes to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calls [for] his older son Esau and says to him, “My son”; and he says to him, “Here I [am].”
以撒年老，眼睛昏花，不能看見，就叫了他大兒子以掃來，說：「我兒。」以掃說：「我在這裏。」
2 And he says, “Now behold, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
他說：「我如今老了，不知道哪一天死。
3 and now, please take up your instruments, your quiver, and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt provision for me,
現在拿你的器械，就是箭囊和弓，往田野去為我打獵，
4 and make tasteful things for me, [such] as I have loved, and bring [them] to me, and I eat, so that my soul blesses you before I die.”
照我所愛的做成美味，拿來給我吃，使我在未死之先給你祝福。」
5 And Rebekah is listening while Isaac is speaking to his son Esau; and Esau goes to the field to hunt game—to bring in;
以撒對他兒子以掃說話，利百加也聽見了。以掃往田野去打獵，要得野味帶來。
6 and Rebekah has spoken to her son Jacob, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,
利百加就對她兒子雅各說：「我聽見你父親對你哥哥以掃說：
7 Bring game for me, and make tasteful things for me, and I eat, and bless you before YHWH before my death.
『你去把野獸帶來，做成美味給我吃，我好在未死之先，在耶和華面前給你祝福。』
8 And now, my son, listen to my voice, to that which I am commanding you:
現在，我兒，你要照着我所吩咐你的，聽從我的話。
9 Now go to the flock, and take for me two good kids of the goats from there, and I make them tasteful things for your father, [such] as he has loved;
你到羊群裏去，給我拿兩隻肥山羊羔來，我便照你父親所愛的給他做成美味。
10 and you have taken [them] to your father, and he has eaten, so that his soul blesses you before his death.”
你拿到你父親那裏給他吃，使他在未死之先給你祝福。」
11 And Jacob says to his mother Rebekah, “Behold, my brother Esau [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man,
雅各對他母親利百加說：「我哥哥以掃渾身是有毛的，我身上是光滑的；
12 it may be my father feels me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought on me disapproval, and not a blessing”;
倘若我父親摸着我，必以我為欺哄人的，我就招咒詛，不得祝福。」
13 and his mother says to him, “On me your disapproval, my son; only listen to my voice, and go, take for me.”
他母親對他說：「我兒，你招的咒詛歸到我身上；你只管聽我的話，去把羊羔給我拿來。」
14 And he goes, and takes, and brings to his mother, and his mother makes tasteful things, [such] as his father has loved;
他便去拿來，交給他母親；他母親就照他父親所愛的做成美味。
15 and Rebekah takes the desirable garments of Esau her older son, which [are] with her in the house, and puts them on Jacob her younger son;
利百加又把家裏所存大兒子以掃上好的衣服給她小兒子雅各穿上，
16 and she has put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和頸項的光滑處，
17 and she gives the tasteful things, and the bread which she has made, into the hand of her son Jacob.
就把所做的美味和餅交在她兒子雅各的手裏。
18 And he comes to his father and says, “My father”; and he says, “Here I [am]; who [are] you, my son?”
雅各到他父親那裏說：「我父親！」他說：「我在這裏。我兒，你是誰？」
19 And Jacob says to his father, “I [am] Esau your firstborn; I have done as you have spoken to me; please rise, sit and eat of my game, so that your soul blesses me.”
雅各對他父親說：「我是你的長子以掃；我已照你所吩咐我的行了。請起來坐着，吃我的野味，好給我祝福。」
20 And Isaac says to his son, “What [is] this you have hurried to find, my son?” And he says, “That which your God YHWH has caused to come before me.”
以撒對他兒子說：「我兒，你如何找得這麼快呢？」他說：「因為耶和華－你的上帝使我遇見好機會得着的。」
21 And Isaac says to Jacob, “Please come near, and I feel you, my son, whether you [are] he, my son Esau, or not.”
以撒對雅各說：「我兒，你近前來，我摸摸你，知道你真是我的兒子以掃不是。」
22 And Jacob comes near to his father Isaac, and he feels him, and says, “The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.”
雅各就挨近他父親以撒。以撒摸着他，說：「聲音是雅各的聲音，手卻是以掃的手。」
23 And he has not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of his brother Esau, and he blesses him,
以撒就辨不出他來；因為他手上有毛，像他哥哥以掃的手一樣，就給他祝福；
24 and says, “You are he—my son Esau?” And he says, “I [am].”
又說：「你真是我兒子以掃嗎？」他說：「我是。」
25 And he says, “Bring [it] near to me, and I eat of my son’s game, so that my soul blesses you”; and he brings [it] near to him, and he eats; and he brings wine to him, and he drinks.
以撒說：「你遞給我，我好吃我兒子的野味，給你祝福。」雅各就遞給他，他便吃了，又拿酒給他，他也喝了。
26 And his father Isaac says to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son”;
他父親以撒對他說：「我兒，你上前來與我親嘴。」
27 and he comes near, and kisses him, and he smells the fragrance of his garments, and blesses him, and says, “See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which YHWH has blessed;
他就上前與父親親嘴。他父親一聞他衣服上的香氣，就給他祝福，說： 我兒的香氣 如同耶和華賜福之田地的香氣一樣。
28 and God gives to you of the dew of the heavens, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and wine;
願上帝賜你天上的甘露， 地上的肥土， 並許多五穀新酒。
29 peoples serve you, and nations bow themselves to you, be mighty over your brothers, and the sons of your mother bow themselves to you; those who curse you [are] cursed, and those who bless you [are] blessed.”
願多民事奉你， 多國跪拜你。 願你作你弟兄的主； 你母親的兒子向你跪拜。 凡咒詛你的，願他受咒詛； 為你祝福的，願他蒙福。
30 And it comes to pass, as Isaac has finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of his father Isaac, that his brother Esau has come in from his hunting;
以撒為雅各祝福已畢，雅各從他父親那裏才出來，他哥哥以掃正打獵回來，
31 and he also makes tasteful things, and brings to his father, and says to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s game, so that your soul blesses me.”
也做了美味，拿來給他父親，說：「請父親起來，吃你兒子的野味，好給我祝福。」
32 And his father Isaac says to him, “Who [are] you?” And he says, “I [am] your son, your firstborn, Esau”;
他父親以撒對他說：「你是誰？」他說：「我是你的長子以掃。」
33 and Isaac trembles a very great trembling and says, “Who, now, [is] he who has provided game, and brings to me, and I eat of all before you come in, and I bless him? Indeed, he is blessed.”
以撒就大大地戰兢，說：「你未來之先，是誰得了野味拿來給我呢？我已經吃了，為他祝福；他將來也必蒙福。」
34 When Esau hears the words of his father, then he cries a very great and bitter cry, and says to his father, “Bless me, me also, O my father”;
以掃聽了他父親的話，就放聲痛哭，說：「我父啊，求你也為我祝福！」
35 and he says, “Your brother has come with subtlety, and takes your blessing.”
以撒說：「你兄弟已經用詭計來將你的福分奪去了。」
36 And he says, “Is it because he whose name is called Jacob takes me by the heel these two times? He has taken my birthright; and behold, now he has taken my blessing”; he also says, “Have you not kept back a blessing for me?”
以掃說：「他名雅各，豈不是正對嗎？因為他欺騙了我兩次：他從前奪了我長子的名分，你看，他現在又奪了我的福分。」以掃又說：「你沒有留下為我可祝的福嗎？」
37 And Isaac answers and says to Esau, “Behold, a mighty one have I set him over you, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants, and [with] grain and wine have I sustained him; and for you now, what will I do, my son?”
以撒回答以掃說：「我已立他為你的主，使他的弟兄都給他作僕人，並賜他五穀新酒可以養生。我兒，現在我還能為你做甚麼呢？」
38 And Esau says to his father, “One blessing have you my father? Bless me, me also, O my father”; and Esau lifts up his voice, and weeps.
以掃對他父親說：「父啊，你只有一樣可祝的福嗎？我父啊，求你也為我祝福！」以掃就放聲而哭。
39 And his father Isaac answers and says to him, “Behold, of the fatness of the earth is your dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above;
他父親以撒說： 地上的肥土必為你所住； 天上的甘露必為你所得。
40 and by your sword you live, and your brother serves you; and it has come to pass, when you rule, that you have broken his yoke from off your neck.”
你必倚靠刀劍度日， 又必事奉你的兄弟； 到你強盛的時候， 必從你頸項上掙開他的軛。
41 And Esau hates Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau says in his heart, “The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay my brother Jacob.”
以掃因他父親給雅各祝的福，就怨恨雅各，心裏說：「為我父親居喪的日子近了，到那時候，我要殺我的兄弟雅各。」
42 And the words of Esau her older son are declared to Rebekah, and she sends and calls for Jacob her younger son, and says to him, “Behold, your brother Esau is comforting himself in regard to you—to slay you;
有人把利百加大兒子以掃的話告訴利百加，她就打發人去，叫了她小兒子雅各來，對他說：「你哥哥以掃想要殺你，報仇雪恨。
43 and now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran,
現在，我兒，你要聽我的話：起來，逃往哈蘭、我哥哥拉班那裏去，
44 and you have dwelt with him some days, until your brother’s fury turns back,
同他住些日子，直等你哥哥的怒氣消了。
45 until your brother’s anger turns back from you, and he has forgotten that which you have done to him, and I have sent and taken you from there; why am I bereaved even of you both the same day?”
你哥哥向你消了怒氣，忘了你向他所做的事，我便打發人去把你從那裏帶回來。為甚麼一日喪你們二人呢？」
46 And Rebekah says to Isaac, “I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these—from the daughters of the land—why do I live?”
利百加對以撒說：「我因這赫人的女子連性命都厭煩了；倘若雅各也娶赫人的女子為妻，像這些一樣，我活着還有甚麼益處呢？」
