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].”
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 says, “Now behold, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Laba, nkaddiye, simanyi lwe ndifa.
3 and now, please take up your instruments, your quiver, and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt provision for me,
Kale kaakano kwata by’oyizza, omutego gwo n’obusaale bwo, ogende mu nsiko onjiggire yo omuyiggo.
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.”
Onteekereteekere ekyokulya ekiwooma ennyo kye njagala, okindeetere nkirye, ndyoke nkusabire omukisa nga sinnafa.”
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;
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 has spoken to her son Jacob, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,
Lebbeeka n’agamba mutabani we Yakobo owookubiri nti, “Mpulidde kitaawo ng’agamba muganda wo Esawu nti,
7 Bring game for me, and make tasteful things for me, and I eat, and bless you before YHWH before my death.
‘Ndeetera omuyiggo onteekereteekere ekyokulya ekiwooma obulungi, nkirye, ndyoke nkusabire omukisa eri Mukama nga sinnafa.’
8 And now, my son, listen to my voice, to that which I am commanding you:
Kale nno kaakano mwana wange wulira kye nkugamba.
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;
Genda eri ekisibo ondeeteremu embuzi bbiri ennungi, nfumbire kitaawo ekyokulya ekiwooma, nga bw’ayagala,
10 and you have taken [them] to your father, and he has eaten, so that his soul blesses you before his death.”
okitwalire kitaawo akirye, alyoke akusabire omukisa nga tannafa.”
11 And Jacob says to his mother Rebekah, “Behold, my brother Esau [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 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”;
Singa kitange anampeeweetako, siifuuke mulimba gy’ali, ne nfuna ekikolimo mu kifo ky’okufuna omukisa?”
13 and his mother says to him, “On me your disapproval, my son; only listen to my voice, and go, take for me.”
Nnyina n’amuddamu nti, “Ekikolimo kyo kibe ku nze mwana wange; wulira ekigambo kyange ogende ozindeetere.”
14 And he goes, and takes, and brings to his mother, and his mother makes tasteful things, [such] as his father has loved;
Awo Yakobo n’agenda, n’azikwata n’azireeteera nnyina, n’ateekerateekera Isaaka ekyokulya ekiwooma nga bwe yayagala.
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;
Lebbeeka n’addira ebyambalo ebisinga obulungi ebya Esawu, mutabani we omukulu, ebyali mu nnyumba; n’abyambaza Yakobo mutabani we omuto,
16 and she has put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
era n’addira n’amaliba g’embuzi n’agamwambaza ku mikono ne ku bitundu ebyobulago ebiweweera.
17 and she gives the tasteful things, and the bread which she has made, into the hand of her son Jacob.
N’alyoka addira ekyokulya ekiwooma n’omugaati bye yafumba, n’abikwasa Yakobo mutabani we.
18 And he comes to his father and says, “My father”; and he says, “Here I [am]; who [are] you, my son?”
Awo Yakobo n’agenda eri kitaawe, n’amugamba nti, “Kitange nzuuno.” Ye n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe ani mwana wange?”
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.”
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 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.”
Naye Isaaka n’abuuza mutabani we nti, “Ogufunye otya amangu bw’otyo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Mukama Katonda wo ampadde omukisa.”
21 And Isaac says to Jacob, “Please come near, and I feel you, my son, whether you [are] he, my 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 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.”
Yakobo kwe kusembera awali Isaaka kitaawe. Bwe yamuwulira n’agamba nti, “Eddoboozi lya Yakobo naye emikono gya Esawu.”
23 And he has not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of his brother Esau, and he blesses him,
N’atamutegeera kubanga emikono gye gyaliko obwoya ng’egya Esawu muganda we, kwe kumuwa omukisa.
24 and says, “You are he—my son Esau?” And he says, “I [am].”
Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ddala gwe mwana wange Esawu?” N’amuddamu nti, “Ye nze.”
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.
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 says to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son”;
Awo kitaawe Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Sembera onnywegere mwana wange.”
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;
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 and God gives to you of the dew of the heavens, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and wine;
Katonda akuwe omusulo ogw’omu ggulu, n’obugimu bw’ensi, era akuwe emmere ey’empeke nnyingi n’envinnyo.
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.”
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 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;
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 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.”
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 his father Isaac says to him, “Who [are] you?” And he says, “I [am] your son, your firstborn, Esau”;
Kitaawe Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Gwe ani?” Kwe kumuddamu nti, “Nze omwana wo omubereberye Esawu.”
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.”
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 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”;
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 says, “Your brother has come with subtlety, and takes your blessing.”
Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Muganda wo azze n’annimba era akututteko omukisa gwo.”
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?”
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 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?”
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 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.
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 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;
Awo Isaaka kitaawe n’amuddamu nti, “Laba, onooberanga mu nsi enkalu, era toofunenga musulo guva waggulu mu ggulu.
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.”
Ekitala kyo kye kinaakukuumanga, era onooweerezanga muganda wo. Naye bw’olimwesimattulako, oliba weefunidde eddembe.”
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.”
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 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;
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 and now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran,
Kale nno kaakano mwana wange, okole nga bwe nkugamba: Golokoka oddukire ewa, mwannyinaze Labbaani ali mu Kalani,
44 and you have dwelt with him some days, until your brother’s fury turns back,
obeereko eyo, okutuusa obusungu bwa muganda wo nga bukkakkanye.
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?”
Obusungu bwe buliba bumuweddeko, nga yeerabidde ky’omukoze, ne ndyoka ntuma ne bakunona. Kale lwaki mbafiirwa mwembi ku lunaku olumu?”
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?”
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.”
