< Genesis 27 >

1 And it was for he was old Isaac and they were [too] dim eyes his for seeing and he summoned Esau - son his old and he said to him O son my and he said to him here [am] I.
Awo Isaaka bwe yali ng’akaddiye nnyo n’amaaso ge nga gayimbadde, nga takyayinza kulaba, n’ayita Esawu mutabani we omukulu, n’amugamba nti, “Mutabani,” n’amuddamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
2 And he said here! please I am old not I know [the] day of death my.
Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Laba, nkaddiye, simanyi lwe ndifa.
3 And therefore take up please weapons your quiver your and bow your and go out the field and hunt! for me (wild game. *Q(K)*)
Kale kaakano kwata by’oyizza, omutego gwo n’obusaale bwo, ogende mu nsiko onjiggire yo omuyiggo.
4 And prepare for me savory food just as I love and bring [it]! to me so let me eat [it] in order that it may bless you self my before I will die.
Onteekereteekere ekyokulya ekiwooma ennyo kye njagala, okindeetere nkirye, ndyoke nkusabire omukisa nga sinnafa.”
5 And Rebekah [was] listening when spoke Isaac to Esau son his and he went Esau [to] the field to hunt wild game to bring [it].
Ne Lebbeeka yali awo ng’awuliriza, Isaaka ng’agamba mutabani we omukulu Esawu. Awo Esawu bwe yagenda mu nsiko okuyigga omuyiggo aguleete,
6 And Rebekah she said to Jacob son her saying here! I have heard father your speaking to Esau brother your saying.
Lebbeeka n’agamba mutabani we Yakobo owookubiri nti, “Mpulidde kitaawo ng’agamba muganda wo Esawu nti,
7 Bring! to me wild game and prepare for me savory food so let me eat [it] so I may bless you before Yahweh before death my.
‘Ndeetera omuyiggo onteekereteekere ekyokulya ekiwooma obulungi, nkirye, ndyoke nkusabire omukisa eri Mukama nga sinnafa.’
8 And therefore O son my listen to voice my to [that] which I [am] commanding you.
Kale nno kaakano mwana wange wulira kye nkugamba.
9 Go please to the flock and fetch for me from there two kids of goats good so I may prepare them savory food for father your just as he loves.
Genda eri ekisibo ondeeteremu embuzi bbiri ennungi, nfumbire kitaawo ekyokulya ekiwooma, nga bw’ayagala,
10 And you will bring [it] to father your and he will eat [it] in order that this he may bless you before death his.
okitwalire kitaawo akirye, alyoke akusabire omukisa nga tannafa.”
11 And he said Jacob to Rebekah mother his here! Esau brother my [is] a man hairy and I [am] a man smooth.
Naye Yakobo n’agamba Lebbeeka nnyina nti, “Muganda wange Esawu musajja wa byoya, so nga nze ndi muweweevu.
12 Perhaps he will feel me father my and I will be in view his like a mocker and I will bring on myself a curse and not a blessing.
Singa kitange anampeeweetako, siifuuke mulimba gy’ali, ne nfuna ekikolimo mu kifo ky’okufuna omukisa?”
13 And she said to him mother his [be] on me curse your O son my only listen to voice my and go fetch [them] for me.
Nnyina n’amuddamu nti, “Ekikolimo kyo kibe ku nze mwana wange; wulira ekigambo kyange ogende ozindeetere.”
14 And he went and he fetched [them] and he brought [them] to mother his and she prepared mother his savory food just as he loved father his.
Awo Yakobo n’agenda, n’azikwata n’azireeteera nnyina, n’ateekerateekera Isaaka ekyokulya ekiwooma nga bwe yayagala.
15 And she took Rebekah [the] clothes of Esau son her old the desirableness which [were] with her in the house and she clothed Jacob son her young.
Lebbeeka n’addira ebyambalo ebisinga obulungi ebya Esawu, mutabani we omukulu, ebyali mu nnyumba; n’abyambaza Yakobo mutabani we omuto,
16 And [the] skins of [the] kids of the goats she clothed on hands his and on [the] smooth part of neck his.
era n’addira n’amaliba g’embuzi n’agamwambaza ku mikono ne ku bitundu ebyobulago ebiweweera.
17 And she put the savory food and the bread which she had prepared in [the] hand of Jacob son her.
N’alyoka addira ekyokulya ekiwooma n’omugaati bye yafumba, n’abikwasa Yakobo mutabani we.
18 And he went to father his and he said O father my and he said here [am] I who? [are] you O son my.
Awo Yakobo n’agenda eri kitaawe, n’amugamba nti, “Kitange nzuuno.” Ye n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe ani mwana wange?”
19 And he said Jacob to father his I [am] Esau firstborn your I have done just as you said to me arise please sit! and eat! some of wild game my in order that may bless me self your.
Yakobo n’agamba kitaawe nti, “Nze Esawu omwana wo omubereberye, nkoze nga bw’oŋŋambye. Kale kaakano tuula olye ku muyiggo gwange olyoke onsabire omukisa.”
20 And he said Isaac to son his what? this have you hastened to find [it] O son my and he said for he made happen Yahweh God your before me.
Naye Isaaka n’abuuza mutabani we nti, “Ogufunye otya amangu bw’otyo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Mukama Katonda wo ampadde omukisa.”
21 And he said Isaac to Jacob draw near! please so I may feel you O son my ¿ [are] you this son my Esau or? not.
Awo Isaaka n’agamba mutabani we nti, “Sembera wendi mutabani, nkukwateko, ntegeerere ddala nga ggwe mutabani wange Esawu.”
22 And he drew near Jacob to Isaac father his and he felt him and he said the voice [is] [the] voice of Jacob and the hands [are] [the] hands of Esau.
Yakobo kwe kusembera awali Isaaka kitaawe. Bwe yamuwulira n’agamba nti, “Eddoboozi lya Yakobo naye emikono gya Esawu.”
23 And not he recognized him for they were hands his like [the] hands of Esau brother his hairy and he blessed him.
N’atamutegeera kubanga emikono gye gyaliko obwoya ng’egya Esawu muganda we, kwe kumuwa omukisa.
24 And he said [are] you? this son my Esau and he said I.
Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ddala gwe mwana wange Esawu?” N’amuddamu nti, “Ye nze.”
25 And he said bring [it] near! to me so let me eat some of [the] wild game of son my so that it may bless you self my and he brought [it] near to him and he ate and he brought to him wine and he drank.
N’alyoka amugamba nti, “Kale gundeetere, ndye ku muyiggo gwa mutabani wange, nkusabire omukisa.” N’alyoka agumuleetera, n’alya era n’amuleetera n’envinnyo n’anywa.
26 And he said to him Isaac father his draw near! please and kiss! me O son my.
Awo kitaawe Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Sembera onnywegere mwana wange.”
27 And he drew near and he kissed him and he smelled [the] smell of clothes his and he blessed him and he said see [the] smell of son my [is] like [the] smell of a field which he has blessed it Yahweh.
N’amusemberera n’amunywegera, kitaawe n’awulira akaloosa ke ngoye ze n’amuwa omukisa ng’agamba nti, “Wulira akaloosa k’omwana wange, kali ng’akaloosa k’ennimiro Mukama gy’awadde omukisa.
28 And may he give to you God some of [the] dew of the heavens and some of [the] fatness of the earth and abundance of grain and new wine.
Katonda akuwe omusulo ogw’omu ggulu, n’obugimu bw’ensi, era akuwe emmere ey’empeke nnyingi n’envinnyo.
29 May they serve you peoples (and may they bow down *Q(K)*) to you peoples be lord to brothers your so may they bow down to you [the] sons of mother your [those who] curse you [be] cursed and [those who] bless you [be] blessed.
Abantu bakuweerezenga, n’amawanga gakuvuunamirenga. Fuganga baganda bo, ne batabani ba nnyoko bakuvuunamirenga. Akolimirwe oyo anaakukolimiranga era aweebwenga omukisa oyo anaakusabiranga omukisa.”
30 And it was just as he had finished Isaac to bless Jacob and it was surely certainly he had gone out Jacob from with [the] face of Isaac father his and Esau brother his he came from hunting his.
Amangu ddala nga Isaaka yakamala okuwa Yakobo omukisa, era nga Yakobo tannava wali Isaaka kitaabwe, Esawu n’atuuka ng’ava okuyigga.
31 And he prepared also he savory food and he brought [it] to father his and he said to father his let him arise father my and let him eat some of [the] wild game of son his in order that may bless me self your.
Era naye n’ateekateeka emmere ey’akawoowo n’agireetera kitaawe. N’agamba kitaawe nti, “Kitange golokoka olye ku muyiggo gw’omwana wo olyoke onsabire omukisa.”
32 And he said to him Isaac father his who? [are] you and he said I [am] son your firstborn your Esau.
Kitaawe Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Gwe ani?” Kwe kumuddamu nti, “Nze omwana wo omubereberye Esawu.”
33 And he trembled Isaac trembling great up to muchness and he said who? then [is] he who hunted wild game and he brought [it] to me and I ate some of everything before you came and I blessed him also blessed he will be.
Olwo Isaaka n’akankana nnyo n’abuuza nti, “Ani oyo ayizze omuyiggo n’agundeetera ne ngulya ne ngumalawo nga tonnajja ne mmusabira omukisa? Era ddala ajja kuweebwa omukisa.”
34 When heard Esau [the] words of father his and he cried a cry great and bitter up to muchness and he said to father his bless me also me O father my.
Awo Esawu bwe yawulira ebigambo bya kitaawe ebyo, n’atulika n’akaaba nnyo nnyini, n’agamba kitaawe nti, “Nange mpa omukisa, ayi kitange.”
35 And he said he came brother your with deceit and he took blessing your.
Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Muganda wo azze n’annimba era akututteko omukisa gwo.”
36 And he said ¿ for did someone call name his Jacob and he has supplanted me this two times birthright my he took and here! now he has taken blessing my and he said ¿ not have you reserved for me a blessing.
Esawu n’ayogera nti, “Teyatuumibwa linnya lye Yakobo? Laba, anyingiridde emirundi gino gyombi; yanziggyako eby’obukulu bwange, ate kaakano antutteko n’omukisa gwange.” Kwe kubuuza kitaawe nti, “Tondekeddeewo mukisa n’akatono?”
37 And he answered Isaac and he said to Esau here! lord I have appointed him to you and all brothers his I have given to him to servants and grain and new wine I have sustained him and for you then what? will I do O son my.
Isaaka n’addamu Esawu nti, “Laba, mmufudde mukama wo, era mmuwadde baganda be bonna babe baweereza be, era mmusabidde abe n’emmere ey’empeke wamu n’envinnyo nga bingi ddala. Kale nnaakukolera ki mwana wange?”
38 And he said Esau to father his ¿ [does] a blessing one it [belong] to you O father my bless me also me O father my and he lifted up Esau voice his and he wept.
Esawu n’abuuza kitaawe nti, “Tolinaawo mukisa na gumu kitange? Nange mpa omukisa, ayi kitange.” Bw’atyo Esawu n’ayimusa eddoboozi lye n’akaaba.
39 And he answered Isaac father his and he said to him there! away from [the] fatness of the earth it will be dwelling your and away from [the] dew of the heavens above.
Awo Isaaka kitaawe n’amuddamu nti, “Laba, onooberanga mu nsi enkalu, era toofunenga musulo guva waggulu mu ggulu.
40 And on sword your you will live and brother your you will serve and it will be just as you will be restless and you will tear off yoke his from on neck your.
Ekitala kyo kye kinaakukuumanga, era onooweerezanga muganda wo. Naye bw’olimwesimattulako, oliba weefunidde eddembe.”
41 And he bore a grudge against Esau Jacob on the blessing which he had blessed him father his and he said Esau in heart his they will draw near [the] days of [the] mourning of father my and I will kill Jacob brother my.
Awo Esawu n’akyawa muganda we Yakobo ng’amulanga omukisa kitaabwe gwe yamuwa. Esawu n’alyoka ayogera nti, “Ennaku ez’okukungubagira kitange zinaatera okutuuka. Bwe zirituuka, muganda wange Yakobo nga mutta.”
42 And it was told to Rebekah [the] words of Esau son her old and she sent and she summoned Jacob son her young and she said to him here! Esau brother your [is] comforting himself to you by killing you.
Kyokka Lebbeeka n’atuusibwako ebigambo bya Esawu mutabani we omukulu; kwe kutumya Yakobo mutabani we omuto, n’amugamba nti, “Laba, Esawu muganda wo ateekateeka okukutta.
43 And therefore O son my listen to voice my and arise flee for yourself to Laban brother my Haran towards.
Kale nno kaakano mwana wange, okole nga bwe nkugamba: Golokoka oddukire ewa, mwannyinaze Labbaani ali mu Kalani,
44 And you will remain with him days one until that it will turn back [the] anger of brother your.
obeereko eyo, okutuusa obusungu bwa muganda wo nga bukkakkanye.
45 Until turns back [the] anger of brother your from you and he will forget [that] which you did to him and I will send and I will fetch you from there why? will I be bereaved also both of you a day one.
Obusungu bwe buliba bumuweddeko, nga yeerabidde ky’omukoze, ne ndyoka ntuma ne bakunona. Kale lwaki mbafiirwa mwembi ku lunaku olumu?”
46 And she said Rebekah to Isaac I loathe life my because of [the] daughters of Heth if [is] taking Jacob a wife from [the] daughters of Heth like these from [the] daughters of the land why? [belongs] to me life.
Lebbeeka n’alyoka ategeeza Isaaka nti, “Obulamu bwange bwetamiddwa olw’abakazi bano Abakiiti. Singa Yakobo awasa omu ku bakazi Abakiiti, nga bano, omu ku bakazi aba muno, obulamu bwange buliba tebukyangasa.”
