< Genesis 27 >

1 It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyesight was failing so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, "My son?" He said to him, "Here I am."
Pada suatu hari, ketika Ishak sudah tua dan buta pula, dipanggilnya Esau, anaknya yang sulung, lalu berkata kepadanya, "Anakku!" "Ya, Ayah," jawab Esau.
2 He said, "Look, I am old now. I do not know the day of my death.
Ishak berkata, "Engkau tahu bahwa saya sudah tua dan mungkin tidak akan hidup lama lagi.
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt down a wild animal for me.
Jadi ambillah busur dan panah-panahmu, pergilah memburu seekor binatang di padang.
4 Make me the tasty food that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die."
Masaklah yang enak seperti yang saya sukai, lalu bawalah kepada saya. Setelah saya memakannya, akan saya berikan berkat saya kepadamu sebelum saya mati."
5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went out to the field to hunt for a wild animal and bring it back to his father.
Percakapan Ishak dengan Esau itu didengar oleh Ribka. Maka setelah Esau berangkat untuk berburu,
6 And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Look, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
berkatalah Ribka kepada Yakub, "Baru saja saya dengar ayahmu mengatakan kepada Esau begini,
7 'Bring me a wild animal and prepare for me some tasty food, that I may eat it and bless you in my presence before my death.'
'Burulah seekor binatang dan masaklah yang enak untukku. Setelah aku memakannya, akan kuberikan berkatku kepadamu di hadapan TUHAN, sebelum aku mati.'
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
Nah, anakku," kata Ribka lagi, "dengarkanlah dan lakukanlah apa yang saya katakan ini.
9 Go now to the flock, and get me from there two choice young goats. I will prepare them in a tasty way for your father, the way he likes it.
Pergilah ke tempat domba kita, dan pilihlah dua anak kambing yang gemuk-gemuk, supaya saya masak menjadi makanan kesukaan ayahmu.
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."
Kemudian bawalah kepadanya supaya dimakannya, dan setelah itu ia akan memberikan berkatnya kepadamu sebelum ia meninggal."
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Tetapi Yakub berkata kepada ibunya, "Ibu, bukankah badan Esau berbulu, sedangkan badan saya tidak?
12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing."
Jangan-jangan ayah meraba badan saya dan mengetahui bahwa saya menipunya; nanti ia bukannya memberikan berkat, malahan mengutuki saya."
13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me."
Ibunya menjawab, "Jangan khawatir, Nak. Biar saya yang menanggung segala kutuknya. Lakukanlah saja apa yang saya katakan, pergilah mengambil kambing-kambing itu."
14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.
Maka pergilah Yakub mengambil kambing-kambing itu dan membawanya kepada ibunya, lalu Ribka memasak makanan kesukaan Ishak.
15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
Kemudian Ribka mengambil pakaian Esau yang paling bagus, yang disimpannya di rumah, lalu dikenakannya pada Yakub.
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
Ia membalutkan juga kulit anak kambing pada lengan dan leher Yakub yang tidak berbulu itu.
17 She handed the tasty food and the bread which she had prepared to her son Jacob.
Lalu diberikannya kepada Yakub masakan yang enak itu dengan roti yang telah dibuatnya.
18 He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"
Setelah itu pergilah Yakub kepada ayahnya dan berkata, "Ayah!" "Ya," jawab Ishak, "siapa engkau, Esau atau Yakub?"
19 Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please sit up and eat what I hunted so that you can bless me."
Jawab Yakub, "Esau, anak ayah yang sulung; pesan ayah sudah saya lakukan. Duduklah dan makanlah daging buruan yang saya bawakan ini, supaya ayah dapat memberkati saya."
20 Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because your God gave me success."
Ishak berkata, "Cepat sekali engkau mendapatnya, Nak." Jawab Yakub, "Karena TUHAN Allah yang disembah ayah telah menolong saya."
21 Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."
Lalu kata Ishak kepada Yakub, "Marilah dekat-dekat supaya saya dapat merabamu. Benarkah engkau Esau?"
22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
Yakub mendekati ayahnya, dan ayahnya itu merabanya serta berkata, "Suaramu seperti suara Yakub, tetapi lenganmu seperti lengan Esau."
23 He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau. So he blessed him.
Ishak tidak mengenali Yakub karena lengannya berbulu seperti lengan Esau. Tetapi pada saat Yakub hendak diberkatinya,
24 He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He said, "I am."
ia masih bertanya sekali lagi, "Benarkah engkau Esau?" "Benar," jawab Yakub.
25 He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of what my son caught so that I can bless you." He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
Lalu berkatalah Ishak, "Berilah saya daging itu. Setelah saya makan akan saya berikan berkat saya kepadamu." Yakub memberikan daging itu kepadanya dan juga sedikit anggur untuk diminum.
26 His father Isaac said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son."
Lalu berkatalah ayahnya kepadanya, "Marilah lebih dekat lagi, Nak, dan ciumlah saya."
27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the scent of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, "Look, the scent of my son is as the scent of a field which God has blessed.
Ketika Yakub mendekat untuk mengecupnya, Ishak mencium bau pakaian Esau, lalu diberkatinya dia. Kata Ishak, "Bau sedap anak saya seperti bau padang yang telah diberkati TUHAN.
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
Semoga Allah memberikan kepadamu embun dari langit, dan membuat ladang-ladangmu subur! Semoga Dia memberikan kepadamu gandum dan anggur berlimpah-limpah!
29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you."
Semoga bangsa-bangsa menjadi hambamu, dan suku-suku bangsa takluk kepadamu. Semoga engkau menguasai semua sanak saudaramu, dan keturunan ibumu sujud di hadapanmu. Semoga terkutuklah semua orang yang mengutuk engkau dan diberkatilah semua orang yang memberkati engkau."
30 It happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just left the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Segera sesudah Ishak memberikan berkatnya dan Yakub pergi, Esau, abangnya, pulang dari berburu.
31 He also made some tasty food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father get up and eat of what his son caught, so that you may bless me."
Dia juga memasak makanan yang enak lalu membawanya kepada ayahnya, katanya, "Duduklah, Ayah, dan makanlah daging yang saya bawa untuk Ayah, supaya Ayah dapat memberkati saya."
32 Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."
"Siapa engkau?" tanya Ishak. "Esau anak Ayah yang sulung," jawabnya.
33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who was it then that hunted an animal and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed."
Ishak mulai gemetar seluruh tubuhnya, dan dia bertanya, "Jika begitu, siapa yang telah memburu binatang dan membawanya kepada saya tadi? Saya telah memakannya sebelum engkau tiba. Lalu saya telah berikan berkat saya yang terakhir kepadanya, dan kini berkat itu menjadi miliknya selama-lamanya."
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out loudly and bitterly, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."
Setelah Esau mendengar itu, dia menangis dengan nyaring dan penuh kepedihan, lalu katanya, "Berkatilah saya juga, Ayah!"
35 He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."
Ishak berkata, "Adikmu telah datang kemari dan menipu saya. Dia telah mengambil berkat yang sebetulnya akan saya berikan kepadamu."
36 He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has taken what should have been mine these two times. He took away my birthright. Look, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"
Esau berkata, "Inilah kedua kalinya dia menipu saya. Pantas namanya Yakub. Dia telah mengambil hak saya sebagai anak sulung, dan sekarang ia mengambil pula berkat yang untuk saya. Apakah Ayah tidak mempunyai berkat lain bagi saya?"
37 Isaac answered Esau, "Look, I have made him your lord, and I have made all of his brothers his servants. And I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then can I do for you, my son?"
Ishak menjawab, "Saya telah menjadikan dia tuanmu, dan semua sanak saudaranya saya jadikan hambanya. Saya telah memberikan kepadanya gandum dan anggur. Sekarang tidak ada apa-apa lagi yang dapat saya lakukan untukmu, Nak!"
38 Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Esau tidak mau berhenti memohon kepada ayahnya, "Apakah Ayah hanya mempunyai satu berkat saja? Berkatilah saya juga, Ayah!" Lalu mulailah dia menangis lagi.
39 Isaac his father answered him, "Look, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.
Kemudian Ishak berkata kepadanya, "Tidak akan ada embun dari langit bagimu, tidak akan ada ladang yang subur untukmu.
40 By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."
Engkau akan hidup dari pedangmu, namun menjadi hamba adikmu, tetapi bila engkau memberontak, engkau akan lepas dari kuasanya."
41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob."
Maka Esau membenci Yakub karena ayahnya telah memberikan berkatnya kepada adiknya itu. Pikirnya, "Tidak lama lagi ayah meninggal dan sehabis kita berkabung, Yakub akan saya bunuh!"
42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, "Look, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
Ketika Ribka mendengar tentang rencana Esau itu, ia menyuruh memanggil Yakub dan berkata, "Dengarkan, abangmu Esau bermaksud membalas dendam dan membunuh engkau.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
Nah, lakukanlah apa yang saya katakan ini. Pergilah dengan segera kepada abang saya Laban di Haran,
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away;
dan tinggallah bersama dia untuk beberapa waktu lamanya, sampai kemarahan abangmu reda
45 until your brother's anger against you subsides, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and get you from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?"
dan ia melupakan apa yang telah engkau lakukan terhadapnya. Kemudian saya akan menyuruh orang membawamu pulang kemari. Tidak mau saya kehilangan kedua anak saya pada hari yang sama."
46 Rebekah said to Isaac, "I loathe my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, what good is my life?"
Maka berkatalah Ribka kepada Ishak, "Saya jemu dan bosan melihat istri-istri Esau dari suku bangsa asing itu. Jika Yakub juga kawin dengan gadis Het, lebih baik saya mati saja."
