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].”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene motuʻa ʻa ʻAisake, pea kuo kui hono mata, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa sio, naʻa ne ui ki hono ʻuluaki foha ko ʻIsoa, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, Ko hoku foha: pea ne pehē kiate ia, Vakai, ko au eni.
2 And he says, “Now behold, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai mai, kuo u motuʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻae ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mate.
3 and now, please take up your instruments, your quiver, and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt provision for me,
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke toʻo hoʻo nāunau, ʻa hoʻo tangakaho, mo hoʻo kaufana, pea ke ʻalu ki he vao mo ke kumi maʻaku ha manu.
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.”
Pea ke ngaohi maʻaku ha meʻakai ifo lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku manako, pea ke ʻomi ia kiate au ke u kai; koeʻuhi ke tāpuaki koe ʻe hoku laumālie, ʻi he teʻeki ai teu mate.”
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;
Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Lepeka ki he lea ʻa ʻAisake ki hono foha ko ʻIsoa. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIsoa ki he vao ke kumi ha manu mo ʻomi ia.
6 and Rebekah has spoken to her son Jacob, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,
Pea lea ʻa Lepeka ki heʻene tama ko Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “Vakai mai, naʻaku fanongo naʻe lea hoʻo tamai ki ho tokoua ko ʻIsoa, ʻo pehē,
7 Bring game for me, and make tasteful things for me, and I eat, and bless you before YHWH before my death.
‘Omi maʻaku ha manu, mo ngaohi maʻaku ʻae meʻakai lelei, koeʻuhi ke u kai ia, mo tāpuaki koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he teʻeki ai teu mate.’
8 And now, my son, listen to my voice, to that which I am commanding you:
Pea ko eni, ʻeku tama, Ke ke talangofua ki hoku leʻo, ʻo hangē ko ia te u fekau kiate koe.
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;
ʻAlu leva ki he fanga kosi, mo ke ʻomi mei ai ʻae ongo ʻuhikiʻi kosi lelei ʻe ua: pea te u ngaohi ʻaki ia ki hoʻo tamai, ʻae meʻakai lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻene manako.
10 and you have taken [them] to your father, and he has eaten, so that his soul blesses you before his death.”
Pea te ke ʻave ia ki hoʻo tamai, koeʻuhi ke ne kai, pea koeʻuhi ke ne tāpuaki koe ʻi he teʻeki ai te ne pekia.”
11 And Jacob says to his mother Rebekah, “Behold, my brother Esau [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man,
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Sēkope ki heʻene faʻē ko Lepeka, “Vakai mai, ko e tangata fulufulu ʻa ʻIsoa ko hoku tokoua, pea ko e tangata molemole au.
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”;
E ala nai ʻe heʻeku tamai kiate au, pea te u hā atu kiate ia ko e kākā; pea te u ʻomi kiate au ha malaʻia, kae ʻikai ha tāpuaki.”
13 and his mother says to him, “On me your disapproval, my son; only listen to my voice, and go, take for me.”
Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene faʻē kiate ia, “Ko ʻeku tama, ke ʻiate au pe ho malaʻia, ka ke tui pe ki hoku leʻo pea ke ʻalu ʻo ʻomi ia kiate au.”
14 And he goes, and takes, and brings to his mother, and his mother makes tasteful things, [such] as his father has loved;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ō fetuku mo ʻomi ia ki heʻene faʻē; pea ngaohi ai ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻae meʻakai lelei, ʻo hangē ko e manako ʻa ʻene tamai.
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;
Pea toʻo ʻe Lepeka ʻae ngaahi kofu lelei ʻo ʻene ʻuluaki tama ko ʻIsoa, ʻaia naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, pea ne ai ia ki heʻene tama ki mui ko Sēkope.
16 and she has put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
Pea ne ai ʻae kiliʻi kosi ki hono nima mo e [potu ]molemole ʻo hono kia.
17 and she gives the tasteful things, and the bread which she has made, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Pea ne ʻatu ʻae meʻakai lelei, mo e mā kuo ne ngaohi, ki he nima ʻo ʻene tama ko Sēkope.
18 And he comes to his father and says, “My father”; and he says, “Here I [am]; who [are] you, my son?”
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki heʻene tamai, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko ʻeku tamai;” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au eni; ka ko hai koe hoku foha?”
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.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope ki heʻene tamai, “Ko au ʻIsoa, ko ho ʻuluaki; kuo u fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fekau kiate au; pea ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tuʻu hake, pea ke nofo ʻo kai mei heʻeku manu, koeʻuhi ke ke tāpuaki au.”
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.”
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻAisake ki hono foha, “Hoku foha naʻe fēfeeʻi hao maʻu vave pehē mai ia?” Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻomi ia kiate au ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.”
21 And Isaac says to Jacob, “Please come near, and I feel you, my son, whether you [are] he, my son Esau, or not.”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻAisake kia Sēkope, “Ko hoku foha ʻoku ou kole ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai, koeʻuhi ke u ala kiate koe ke u ʻilo pe ko hoku foha ko ʻIsoa moʻoni koe, pe ʻikai.”
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.”
Pea ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Sēkope ki heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake; pea ne fāfā ia ʻo ne pehē, ‘Ko e leʻo, ko e leʻo ʻo Sēkope, ka ko e nima ko e nima ʻo ʻIsoa.”
23 And he has not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of his brother Esau, and he blesses him,
Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia, koeʻuhi naʻe fulufulu hono nima, ʻo hangē ko e nima ʻo hono taʻokete, ko ʻIsoa: pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia;
24 and says, “You are he—my son Esau?” And he says, “I [am].”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hoku foha ko ʻIsoa moʻoni koe?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko au ia.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Omi ke ofi ia kiate au, pea te u kai ʻae kanoʻi manu ʻa hoku foha, koeʻuhi ke tāpuaki koe ʻe hoku laumālie.” Pea ne ʻomi ia ʻo ofi kiate ia, pea ne kai ai: pea ne ʻomi kiate ia ʻae uaine, pea ne inu ai.
26 And his father Isaac says to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son”;
Pea pehē ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake kiate ia; “Ko hoku foha ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai, ʻo uma kiate au.”
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;
Pea ʻunuʻunu atu ia, pea uma kiate ia; pea ne nanamu ki he nanamu ʻo hono ngaahi kofu, ʻo ne tāpuaki ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko e nanamu ʻo hoku foha, ʻoku tatau mo e nanamu ʻoe ngoue kuo tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova:
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;
Ko ia ke foaki kiate koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae hahau mei langi, mo e mahu ʻoe kelekele, pea mo e koane, mo e uaine, ʻo lahi:
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.”
Ke tauhi koe ʻe he ngaahi kakai, pea ke punou ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kiate koe; ke ke ʻeiki koe ki ho kāinga, pea ke punou ʻae ngaahi tama ʻa hoʻo faʻē kiate koe; ke malaʻia ia te ne kapeʻi koe, pea ke monūʻia ia ʻoku ne tāpuakiʻi koe.”
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;
Pea pehē, kuo hili ʻae tāpuaki ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope, pea naʻe teʻeki ke meimei ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAisake, mo ʻene haʻu ʻa hono taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, mei heʻene tuli manu.
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.”
Pea kuo ngaohi ʻe ia foki ʻae meʻakai ifo lelei, pea ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene tamai, pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene tamai, “Ke tuʻu hake ʻeku tamai, mo kai ʻae kanoʻi manu ʻa hono foha, pea ke tāpuaki au ʻe ho laumālie.”
32 And his father Isaac says to him, “Who [are] you?” And he says, “I [am] your son, your firstborn, Esau”;
Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “Ko au, ko ho foha, ko ho ʻuluaki ko ʻIsoa.”
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.”
Pea tetetete lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻAisake, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai? Kofaʻā ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae kanoʻi manu, ʻo ʻomi kiate au, pea naʻaku kai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, pea naʻaku tāpuaki ia ʻi he teʻeki ai te ke haʻu koe? ʻIo pea ko e moʻoni ʻe monūʻia ia.”
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”;
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa ʻIsoa ki he ngaahi lea ʻa ʻene tamai, pea tangi ia ʻi he leʻo lahi mo fakamamahi, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene tamai, “Ke ke tāpuaki au, ʻio, ko au foki, ʻa ʻeku Tamai.”
35 and he says, “Your brother has come with subtlety, and takes your blessing.”
Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Naʻe haʻu ʻa ho tehina ʻi he kākā, pea kuo ne faʻao ʻo ʻave ʻa ho tāpuaki.”
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?”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIkai kuo totonu ʻae fakahingoa ia ko Sēkope? He kuo tuʻo ua ʻene muʻakiʻi au: naʻa ne toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻae lelei ʻoe taʻokete ʻiate au; pea ko eni kuo ne toʻo hoku tāpuaki. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo ʻikai ha tāpuaki te ke tuku maʻaku?”
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?”
Pea talaange ʻe ʻAisake kia ʻIsoa, ʻo ne pehē; “Vakai mai, kuo u ngaohi ia ko hoʻo ʻeiki, pea ko hono ngaahi kāinga kuo u foaki kiate ia ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea kuo u tokoni ʻaki ia ʻae koane mo e uaine: pea ko eni, ko e hā te u fai kiate koe hoku foha?”
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.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻIsoa ki heʻene tamai, “He ʻoku taha pe hoʻo tāpuaki ʻa ʻeku tamai? Ke ke tāpuaki au, ʻio, ko au foki ʻa ʻeku tamai. Pea hiki hake ʻe ʻIsoa hono leʻo, pea tangi.”
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;
Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake kiate ia, “Vakai, ko ho nofoʻanga ʻe ʻi he lelei ʻoe kelekele, pea mo e hahau ʻoe langi mei ʻolunga.
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.”
Pea te ke moʻui ʻi hoʻo heletā, pea te ke tauhi ʻa ho tehina; pea ʻe hoko, ʻo pehē, ʻoka ke ka hoko ki he pule, te ke toki fesiʻi hono haʻamonga mei ho kia.”
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.”
Pea naʻe fehiʻa ʻa ʻIsoa kia Sēkope, koeʻuhi ko e tāpuaki naʻe tāpuaki ʻaki ia ʻe heʻene tamai; pea pehē ʻe ʻIsoa ʻi hono loto, Ko eni kuo ofi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ke tēngihia ʻa ʻeku tamai, pea te u toki tāmateʻi hoku tehina ko Sēkope.
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;
Pea naʻe fakahā kia Lepeka ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa ʻene ʻuluaki tama ko ʻIsoa: pea fekau ia ke ui ʻa ʻene tama ki mui ko Sēkope ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ko ho taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ia, ʻi heʻene pehē, ke ne tāmateʻi koe.
43 and now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran,
Pea ko eni ʻeku tama, ke ke muitala ki hoku leʻo; pea ke tuʻu ʻo hola ki hoku tuongaʻane ko Lepani, ʻi Halani;
44 and you have dwelt with him some days, until your brother’s fury turns back,
Pea ke nofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻita ʻa ho taʻokete.
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?”
Ke ʻoua ke afe ʻae ʻita ʻa ho taʻokete meiate koe, pea ʻe ngalo ʻiate ia, ʻaia kuo ke fai kiate ia; pea te u toki fekau ʻo ʻomi koe mei ai: he koeʻumaʻā ʻeku masiva ʻiate kimoua ʻosi pe, ʻi he ʻaho pe taha?”
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?”
Pea pehē ʻe Lepeka kia ʻAisake, “Kuo u fiu ʻi heʻeku moʻui, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Heti; he kapau ʻe fili ʻe Sēkope ha uaifi ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Heti, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu ni ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe fonua, ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻo ʻeku moʻui kiate au?”
