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."
Cuando Isaac envejeció, y sus ojos se oscurecieron, de modo que no podía ver, llamó a Esaú, su hijo mayor, y le dijo: “¿Hijo mío?” Le dijo: “Aquí estoy”.
2 He said, "Look, I am old now. I do not know the day of my death.
Él dijo: “Mira ahora, soy viejo. No sé el día de mi muerte.
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.
Ahora, pues, por favor, toma tus armas, tu carcaj y tu arco, y sal al campo, y tráeme venado.
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."
Prepárame una comida sabrosa, como las que me gustan, y tráemela, para que coma y mi alma te bendiga antes de morir.”
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.
Rebeca escuchó cuando Isaac habló con su hijo Esaú. Esaú fue al campo a cazar venado y a traerlo.
6 And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Look, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
Rebeca habló a su hijo Jacob, diciendo: “He aquí que he oído a tu padre hablar a Esaú, tu hermano, diciendo:
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.'
‘Tráeme venado, y hazme comida sabrosa, para que yo coma, y te bendiga delante de Yahvé antes de mi muerte’.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
Ahora, pues, hijo mío, obedece mi voz según lo que te mando.
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.
Ve ahora al rebaño y tráeme dos buenos cabritos de allí. Yo los haré comida sabrosa para tu padre, como a él le gusta.
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."
Se lo llevarás a tu padre para que coma y te bendiga antes de su muerte.”
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Jacob dijo a su madre Rebeca: “Mira, mi hermano Esaú es un hombre velludo, y yo soy un hombre liso.
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."
¿Y si mi padre me toca? Le pareceré un engañador, y traería una maldición sobre mí, y no una bendición”.
13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me."
Su madre le dijo: “Que tu maldición caiga sobre mí, hijo mío. Sólo obedece mi voz, y ve a buscarlos por mí”.
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.
Fue a buscarlos y se los llevó a su madre. Su madre preparó una comida sabrosa, como la que le gustaba a su padre.
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.
Rebeca tomó los buenos vestidos de Esaú, su hijo mayor, que estaban con ella en la casa, y se los puso a Jacob, su hijo menor.
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
Puso las pieles de los cabritos en sus manos y en la parte lisa de su cuello.
17 She handed the tasty food and the bread which she had prepared to her son Jacob.
Dio la comida sabrosa y el pan que había preparado en manos de su hijo Jacob.
18 He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"
Se acercó a su padre y le dijo: “¿Padre mío?” Dijo: “Aquí estoy. ¿Quién eres tú, hijo mío?”
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."
Jacob dijo a su padre: “Yo soy Esaú, tu primogénito. He hecho lo que me pediste. Por favor, levántate, siéntate y come de mi venado, para que tu alma me bendiga”.
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."
Isaac dijo a su hijo: “¿Cómo es que lo has encontrado tan rápido, hijo mío?” Dijo: “Porque Yahvé, tu Dios, me dio el éxito”.
21 Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."
Isaac dijo a Jacob: “Por favor, acércate para que pueda sentirte, hijo mío, si realmente eres mi hijo Esaú o no”.
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."
Jacob se acercó a su padre Isaac. Lo palpó y dijo: “La voz es de Jacob, pero las manos son de Esaú”.
23 He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau. So he blessed him.
No lo reconoció, porque sus manos eran peludas, como las de su hermano Esaú. Así que lo bendijo.
24 He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He said, "I am."
Le dijo: “¿Eres realmente mi hijo Esaú?” Él dijo: “Yo soy”.
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.
Dijo: “Acércamelo, y comeré del venado de mi hijo, para que mi alma te bendiga”. Se lo acercó, y comió. Le trajo vino, y bebió.
26 His father Isaac said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son."
Su padre Isaac le dijo: “Acércate ahora y bésame, hijo mío”.
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.
Se acercó y lo besó. Olió el olor de su ropa, lo bendijo y dijo, “He aquí el olor de mi hijo es como el olor de un campo que Yahvé ha bendecido.
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
Dios te dé del rocío del cielo, de la grosura de la tierra, y mucho grano y vino nuevo.
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."
Que los pueblos te sirvan, y las naciones se inclinan ante ti. Sé el señor de tus hermanos. Que los hijos de tu madre se inclinen ante ti. Maldito sea todo aquel que te maldiga. Bendito sea todo aquel que te bendiga”.
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.
Cuando Isaac terminó de bendecir a Jacob, y éste acababa de salir de la presencia de su padre Isaac, su hermano Esaú llegó de su cacería.
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."
Él también preparó comida sabrosa y se la llevó a su padre. Dijo a su padre: “Que mi padre se levante y coma de la carne de caza de su hijo, para que tu alma me bendiga”.
32 Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."
Su padre Isaac le dijo: “¿Quién eres tú?” Dijo: “Soy tu hijo, tu primogénito, Esaú”.
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."
Isaac se estremeció violentamente y dijo: “¿Quién es, pues, el que ha tomado carne de venado y me la ha traído, y yo he comido de todo antes de que vinieras, y lo he bendecido? Sí, será bendecido”.
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."
Cuando Esaú escuchó las palabras de su padre, lloró con un grito muy grande y amargo, y dijo a su padre: “Bendíceme, a mí también, padre mío”.
35 He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."
Dijo: “Tu hermano vino con engaño y te ha quitado la bendición”.
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?"
Dijo: “¿No se llama Jacob con razón? Porque me ha suplantado estas dos veces. Me quitó la primogenitura. Mira, ahora me ha quitado la bendición”. Dijo: “¿No me has reservado una bendición?”.
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?"
Isaac respondió a Esaú: “He aquí que lo he hecho tu señor, y a todos sus hermanos se los he dado por servidores. Lo he mantenido con grano y vino nuevo. ¿Qué haré entonces por ti, hijo mío?”
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.
Esaú dijo a su padre: “¿Tienes una sola bendición, padre mío? Bendíceme a mí también, padre mío”. Esaú alzó la voz y lloró.
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.
Isaac, su padre, le respondió, “He aquí que tu morada será de la grosura de la tierra, y del rocío del cielo desde arriba.
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."
Vivirás con tu espada y servirás a tu hermano. Ocurrirá, cuando te liberes, que sacudirás su yugo de tu cuello”.
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."
Esaú odiaba a Jacob a causa de la bendición con que su padre lo había bendecido. Esaú dijo en su corazón: “Se acercan los días de luto por mi padre. Entonces mataré a mi hermano Jacob”.
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.
Las palabras de Esaú, su hijo mayor, fueron contadas a Rebeca. Ella envió y llamó a Jacob, su hijo menor, y le dijo: “Mira, tu hermano Esaú se consuela de ti planeando matarte.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
Ahora, pues, hijo mío, obedece mi voz. Levántate y huye a Labán, mi hermano, en Harán.
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away;
Quédate con él unos días, hasta que la furia de tu hermano se aleje...
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?"
hasta que la ira de tu hermano se aleje de ti, y se olvide de lo que le has hecho. Entonces enviaré y te sacaré de allí. ¿Por qué he de perderos a los dos en un solo día?”
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?"
Rebeca dijo a Isaac: “Estoy cansada de mi vida a causa de las hijas de Het. Si Jacob toma una esposa de las hijas de Het, como éstas, de las hijas de la tierra, ¿de qué me servirá mi vida?”
