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].”
Isaac estaba viejo y se estaba quedando ciego. Así que llamó a su hijo mayor Esaú, diciendo: “Hijo mío”. Y Esaú contestó: “Aquí estoy”.
2 And he says, “Now behold, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
“Ya estoy viejo”, dijo Isaac, “Es posible que muera pronto.
3 and now, please take up your instruments, your quiver, and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt provision for me,
Así que toma tu arco y tus flechas, ve a cazar y tráeme algo de carne.
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.”
Prepárame una comida de buen sabor para que yo coma, y para bendecirte antes de morir”.
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;
Rebeca escuchó lo que Isaac le dijo a Esaú. Así que cuando Esaú se fue al campo a buscar carne de caza,
6 and Rebekah has spoken to her son Jacob, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,
Rebeca le dijo a su hijo Jacob: “¡Escucha! Acabo de oír a tu padre decirle a tu hermano,
7 Bring game for me, and make tasteful things for me, and I eat, and bless you before YHWH before my death.
‘Tráeme carne de caza y prepárame una buena comida de buen sabor para comer y bendecirte en presencia del Señor antes de morir’.
8 And now, my son, listen to my voice, to that which I am commanding you:
Ahora, hijo, escúchame y haz exactamente lo que yo te diré.
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;
Ve al rebaño y tráeme dos cabras jóvenes. Yo las cocinaré y prepararé la comida de buen sabor que a tu padre más le gusta.
10 and you have taken [them] to your father, and he has eaten, so that his soul blesses you before his death.”
Entonces se la llevarás a tu padre para comer, para que te bendiga en la presencia del Señor antes de morir”.
11 And Jacob says to his mother Rebekah, “Behold, my brother Esau [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man,
“Pero escucha”, le respondió Jacob a su madre Rebeca, “mi hermano Esaú es un hombre velludo, y yo soy lampiño.
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”;
De pronto mi padre se dará cuenta cuando me toque. Entonces parecerá como que lo estoy engañando y en lugar de bendición, recibiré una maldición”.
13 and his mother says to him, “On me your disapproval, my son; only listen to my voice, and go, take for me.”
“Que la maldición caiga sobre mí, hijo mío”, respondió su madre. “Solo haz lo que te digo. Ve y tráeme las cabras jóvenes”.
14 And he goes, and takes, and brings to his mother, and his mother makes tasteful things, [such] as his father has loved;
Así que Jacob fue a buscarlas y las trajo para su madre, y ella preparó una comida de buen sabor, tal como le gustaba a su padre.
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;
Entonces Rebeca fue y tomó la mejor ropa de su hijo mayor Esaú que ella tenía en su casa, y se la puso a Jacob, su hijo menor.
16 and she has put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
Y puso la piel de los corderos en sus manos, y en su cuello.
17 and she gives the tasteful things, and the bread which she has made, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Entonces le entregó a su hijo Jacob la comida y el pan que había preparado.
18 And he comes to his father and says, “My father”; and he says, “Here I [am]; who [are] you, my son?”
Jacob entró a ver a su padre, y lo llamó diciendo: “Padre mío, aquí estoy”. “¿Cuál de mis hijos eres?” preguntó Isaac.
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.”
“Soy Esaú, tu hijo mayor”, le dijo Jacob a su padre. “Hice lo que me pediste. Por favor, siéntate y come la carne de caza que hice para ti, para que puedas bendecirme”.
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.”
“¿Cómo pudiste encontrar tan rápido a un animal, hijo mío?” le preguntó Isaac. “Es porque el Señor lo envió para mí”, respondió Jacob.
21 And Isaac says to Jacob, “Please come near, and I feel you, my son, whether you [are] he, my son Esau, or not.”
“Ven aquí para que pueda tocarte, hijo mío”, le dijo Isaac a Jacob, “así sabré si eres en verdad Esaú”.
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.”
Así que Jacob se acercó a su padre Isaac, quien al tocarlo dijo: “Es la voz de Jacob, pero son las manos de Esaú”.
23 And he has not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of his brother Esau, and he blesses him,
Isaac no se dio cuenta de que era Jacob porque tenía las manos con vellos como Esaú, así que se preparó para bendecirlo.
24 and says, “You are he—my son Esau?” And he says, “I [am].”
“En realidad eres tú mi hijo Esaú?” preguntó de nuevo. “Si, soy yo”, respondió Jacob.
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.
Entonces dijo: “Hijo mío, tráeme de la comida de caza que me has preparado para comer, y así podré darte mi bendición”. Así que Jacob trajo para su padre Isaac comida para comer y vino para beber.
26 And his father Isaac says to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son”;
Después Isaac le dijo a Jacob: “Ven y bésame, hijo mío”.
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;
Entonces Jacob se inclinó y lo besó, e Isaac pudo oler la ropa que Jacob estaba usando. Así que procedió a darle su bendición, pensado para sí: “El olor de mi hijo es como el olor de un campo que el Señor ha bendecido”.
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;
“¡Que Dios use el rocío del cielo y la tierra fértil para darte ricas cosechas de grano y vino nuevo!
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.”
Que los pueblos de distintas naciones te sirvan y se inclinen ante ti. Que todos los que te maldigan sean malditos, y que sean benditos todos los que te bendigan”.
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;
Después de que Isaac terminó de bendecir a Jacob—de hecho, Jacob ya se había ido de la presencia de su padre—Esaú regresó de su viaje de caza.
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.”
También había preparado una comida de buen sabor, y se la trajo a su padre. Entonces Esaúle dijo a Isaac, “Siéntate padre, y come de mi carne de caza para que puedas bendecirme”.
32 And his father Isaac says to him, “Who [are] you?” And he says, “I [am] your son, your firstborn, Esau”;
“¿Quién eres?” le preguntó Isaac. “Soy tu hijo Esaú, tu primogénito”, respondió.
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.”
Isaac entonces comenzó a temblar y preguntó: “¿Quién fue el que se fue de cacería y me trajo la comida? Ya la comí toda antes de que llegaras y lo bendije. No puedo retirar su bendición ya”.
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”;
Cuando Esaú escuchó las palabras de su padre, gritó de rabia y amargura, y le rogó a su padre: “Por favor, bendíceme a mí también, padre!”
35 and he says, “Your brother has come with subtlety, and takes your blessing.”
Pero Isaac respondió: “Tu hermano vino y me engañó. ¡Él se ha robado tu bendición!”
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?”
“¡Con toda razón su nombre es Jacob, el impostor!” dijo Esaú. “Me ha engañado dos veces. ¡Primero se apropió de mi primogenitura y ahora se ha robado mi bendición! ¿No has guardado una bendición para mi?”
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?”
Entonces Isaac le contestó a Esaú: “Lo he hecho tu señor, y he dicho que todos sus parientes serán sus siervos. He declarado que no le faltará el grano ni el nuevo vino. ¿Qué puedo dejar para ti, hijo mío?”
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.
“¿Acaso solo tienes una bendición, padre mío?” preguntó Esaú. “¡Por favor bendíceme a mi también!” Entonces Esaú comenzó a llorar a gritos.
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;
Entonces su padre Isaac declaró: “¡Escucha, hijo! Vivirás lejos de la tierra fértil, lejos del rocío que cae del cielo.
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.”
Te ganarás el sustento con espada, y serás el siervo de tu hermano. Pero cuando te rebeles, quitarás su yugo de tu cuello”.
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.”
Desde entonces Esaú sintió odio hacia Jacob, por causa de la bendición de su padre. Esaú se dijo a sí mismo: “Pronto llegará el tiempo en que lamentaré la muerte de mi padre. ¡Y entonces mataré a mi hermano Jacob!”
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;
Sin embargo, Rebeca escuchó lo que había dicho Esaú, y mandó a llamar a Jacob. “Mira”, le dijo, “tu hermano Esaú siente consuelo en hacer planes de matarte.
43 and now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran,
Así que, escúchame atentamente, hijo mío, lo que te voy a decir. Vete inmediatamente a donde mi hermano Labán en Arám.
44 and you have dwelt with him some days, until your brother’s fury turns back,
Quédate con él hasta que la rabia de tu hermano se calme.
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?”
Cuando esté en calma y se le olvide, yo te mandaré a buscar de nuevo. Porque no quisiera perderlos a los dos en un solo día”
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?”
Entonces Rebeca fue y le dijo a Isaac: “Estoy cansada de estas mujeres hititas. ¡Están arruinando mi vida! ¡Prefiero morir antes de que Jacob llegue a casarse con una mujer hitita como ellas, una de esas habitantes locales!”
