< Genesis 27 >

1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Here am I.
Ketika Isak sudah tua dan tidak bisa melihat lagi, dia memanggil Esau, anaknya yang sulung, dan berkata, “Anakku!” Jawab Esau, “Ya, Ayah!”
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death.
Isak berkata, “Aku sudah tua, dan hari kematianku semakin dekat.
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison;
Ambillah panahmu beserta tabung anak panahnya, lalu pergilah berburu ke padang.
4 and make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
Masaklah daging hasil buruan itu dengan enak, seperti yang aku sukai. Kemudian bawalah ke sini untuk aku makan, supaya aku bisa memberkatimu sebelum aku mati.”
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Ribka mendengar Isak berbicara kepada Esau. Maka ketika Esau pergi berburu,
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
berkatalah Ribka kepada Yakub, “Aku sudah mendengar ayahmu bicara kepada Esau.
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
Ayah menyuruh kakakmu, ‘Pergilah berburu, lalu masaklah daging buruanmu bagiku. Sesudah aku memakannya, aku akan memberikan berkat TUHAN kepadamu sebelum aku mati.’
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
Nah, Yakub anakku, sekarang lakukanlah apa yang aku perintahkan kepadamu.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
Pergilah dan pilihlah dua ekor kambing muda terbaik dari kawanan ternak. Bawalah ke sini agar aku memasak dagingnya seperti kesukaan ayahmu.
10 and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death.
Nanti, bawalah makanan itu kepada ayahmu untuk dimakannya, supaya ayahmu memberkatimu sebelum dia meninggal.”
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Jawab Yakub, “Ibu, tubuh Esau berbulu, sedangkan aku tidak.
12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
Bagaimana kalau ayah memegangku?! Dia pasti langsung tahu bahwa aku bukan Esau dan bahwa aku sedang berusaha menipunya. Aku tidak akan diberkati ayah, malahan dikutuknya.”
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Kata Ribka, “Bila terjadi demikian, biar ibumu ini yang menanggung kutukan ayahmu. Ikuti saja perkataan ibu. Ambillah dua anak kambing, dan segera bawalah ke sini.”
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
Yakub mengikuti perintah ibunya. Dia pergi dan kembali dengan membawa anak kambing itu. Lalu ibunya menyiapkan hidangan yang sangat enak kesukaan Isak.
15 And Rebekah took the goodly raiment of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
Sesudah itu, Ribka mengambil pakaian Esau yang sangat bagus, yang disimpan di rumahnya, kemudian memberikannya kepada Yakub untuk dipakai.
16 and she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
Dia menutupi lengan Yakub dengan kulit kambing muda, juga bagian lehernya yang tidak berbulu.
17 and she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Ribka menyerahkan masakan daging yang lezat itu serta roti yang baru dibakar kepadanya,
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
dan Yakub mendatangi ayahnya. “Ayah, ini aku,” katanya. Isak bertanya, “Kamu siapa, Esau atau Yakub?”
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Jawab Yakub, “Aku Esau, anak sulungmu. Aku sudah melakukan semua yang Ayah minta. Duduklah dan nikmatilah daging buruan yang aku masak ini, supaya Ayah dapat memberkatiku.”
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God sent me good speed.
Isak bertanya lagi kepada anaknya, “Bagaimana mungkin secepat itu kamu bisa mendapatkannya, anakku?” Jawab Yakub, “Karena TUHAN, Allah yang Ayah sembah, sudah menolongku.”
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
Kemudian Isak berkata kepada Yakub, “Mendekatlah supaya ayah bisa memegangmu untuk memastikan bahwa kamu benar-benar Esau.”
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Yakub mendekat dan Isak merabanya sambil berkata, “Suaranya suara Yakub, tetapi lengannya lengan Esau.”
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
Isak tidak tahu bahwa sebenarnya yang dia sentuh adalah Yakub karena lengannya berbulu seperti Esau. Sebelum memberkati Yakub,
24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
Isak bertanya lagi, “Apa benar kamu Esau?” Yakub menjawab, “Benar, aku Esau.”
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Lalu berkatalah Isak, “Dekatkanlah makanan itu agar ayah dapat memakannya lalu memberkatimu.” Yakub mendekatkan makanan itu dan Isak memakannya. Yakub membawa anggur dan Isak meminumnya juga.
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Kemudian Isak berkata kepadanya, “Anakku, mendekatlah dan ciumlah aku.”
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son Is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
Maka Yakub mendekat dan mencium ayahnya. Ketika Isak mencium bau pakaian Esau yang dikenakan Yakub, dia memberkati Yakub dengan berkata, “Bau anakku ini bagaikan bau padang yang sudah diberkati TUHAN.
28 And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and wine:
Semoga Allah memberikan kepadamu embun dari langit, dan membuat ladang-ladangmu subur! Semoga Dia memberikan kepadamu hasil panen dan anggur berlimpah-limpah!
29 Let peoples serve thee, And nations bow down to thee: Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: Cursed be every one that curseth thee, And blessed be every one that blesseth thee.
Kiranya banyak orang akan melayanimu, dan bangsa-bangsa berlutut di hadapanmu. Biarlah kamu berkuasa atas saudara-saudaramu, dan anak-anak ibumu tunduk kepadamu. Terkutuklah orang yang mengutukmu dan diberkatilah orang yang memberkatimu!”
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Segera sesudah Isak memberkati Yakub, dan Yakub baru saja meninggalkan ayahnya, Esau tiba dengan membawa hasil buruannya.
31 And he also made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father; and he said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Esau memasak daging hasil buruannya dengan enak dan membawanya kepada Isak sambil berkata, “Ayah, duduklah dan makanlah makanan yang sudah aku siapkan, supaya Ayah bisa memberkatiku.”
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.
Bertanyalah Isak “Kamu siapa?” Jawab Esau, “Aku Esau, anak sulung Ayah.”
33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who then is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed.
Isak sangat terkejut dan dengan gemetar dia bertanya, “Lalu siapakah yang sudah pergi berburu dan membawa makanan kepadaku sebelum kamu datang? Aku sudah memakan semuanya, dan sudah memberkati dia dengan berkat yang tidak bisa ditarik kembali!”
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
Mendengar itu, Esau sakit hati dan menangis keras-keras. Dia memohon, “Ayah, berkatilah aku juga!”
35 And he said, Thy brother came with guile, and hath taken away thy blessing.
Tetapi Isak menjawab, “Adikmu sudah menipuku dan mengambil berkatmu.”
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Berkatalah Esau, “Pantaslah namanya Yakub! Dia sudah dua kali menipuku. Pertama, dia merampas hakku sebagai anak sulung. Sekarang, dia merampas lagi hakku untuk mendapat berkat.” Lalu Esau bertanya kepada ayahnya, “Apakah Ayah tidak ada berkat lain untukku?”
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what then shall I do for thee, my son?
Isak menjawab, “Sesungguhnya, aku sudah memberi dia kuasa atas kamu dan semua sanak saudaranya, untuk menjadi hamba-hambanya. Semua hasil panen serta anggur juga menjadi miliknya. Tidak ada lagi yang bisa ayah berikan kepadamu, anakku!”
38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Esau bertanya lagi kepada ayahnya, “Hanya berkat itukah yang ada pada Ayah? Berkatilah aku juga, Ayah!” Lalu Esau meratap dengan nyaring.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be thy dwelling, And of the dew of heaven from above;
Isak menjawab, “Kamu akan hidup di tempat yang tidak subur, tanpa ada embun dari langit.
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou shalt break loose, That thou shalt shake his yoke from off thy neck.
Kamu akan hidup dengan pedangmu dan kamu akan menjadi hamba adikmu. Tetapi kalau kamu memberontak, kamu akan bebas dari kuasanya.”
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
Esau membenci Yakub karena ayah mereka sudah memberikan berkat kepadanya. Dalam hatinya, Esau berkata, “Tidak lama lagi ayah meninggal. Nanti, sesudah selesai acara berduka, aku akan membunuh Yakub!”
42 And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah; and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, [purposing] to kill thee.
Ketika mengetahui rencana Esau, Ribka memanggil Yakub dan berkata, “Dengarkanlah. Kakakmu Esau berniat untuk membalas dendam dan membunuhmu.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
Anakku, lakukanlah yang ibu sampaikan: Selamatkanlah dirimu. Pergilah segera kepada saudaraku Laban di Haran.
44 and tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away;
Tinggallah di sana untuk sementara waktu sampai kakakmu tidak lagi marah kepadamu
45 until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?
dan melupakan perbuatanmu kepadanya. Nanti, ibu akan mengutus seseorang untuk memanggil dan membawa kamu pulang. Ibu tidak ingin kehilangan kedua anak ibu pada hari yang sama.”
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
Setelah itu, Ribka berkata kepada Isak, “Aku benci hidup karena perempuan Het semacam istri-istri Esau itu. Kalau sampai Yakub menikahi perempuan dari daerah ini juga, lebih baik aku mati saja!”
