< Genesis 27 >
1 When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
Ateh a kho amu chen lou nung hin nikhat hi Isaac in achapa alenjo pachu akouve.
2 and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
“Ka chapa! Keima hi ateh kahi tai, Itih thiding kahim kasei thei tapoi,
3 Isaac said, “Listen to me. I am very old, and I do not know when I will die. So now take your bow and quiver full of arrows and go out into the countryside, and hunt for a wild animal for me.
Hijeh chun tun nangma kigong in lang na man chah nathalpi kigot inlang gamlah a kei ding sa gakap'in,
4 Kill one and prepare the kind of tasty meat that I like. Then bring it to me so that after I eat it, I can give you a blessing before I die.”
Chuteng le keiman kadu lamtah in hin lhonin lang hinchoi jin keiman kaneh ding chuteng le nangma hi kahinkho abei masanga phatthei kaboh ding nahi ati.
5 Rebekah was listening as Isaac said that to his son, Esau. So when Esau left the tent to go to the countryside to hunt for a wild animal in order to kill it and bring it back,
Ahin Isaac le Esau kihou na chu Rebekah'in guhthim chan ana ngai jin hichun Esau chu gamleng ding a akon doh phat in;
6 Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
Rebekah in Jacob jah'a hitin aseiye, “Ngaijin napa Isaac in na upa Esau hitin ahoulimpi kaja'e,” ati.
7 ‘Go and kill some wild animal and bring it here, and prepare the meat in a tasty way, so that I may eat it, and then before I die I can give you my blessing while Yahweh is listening.’
“Sa neiga delpeh inlang kadu lamtah in hinhon in lang hinchoi in keiman ne ingting chule Pathen masanga phatthei kaboh ding nahi, kahinkho abei masang in,” ati.
8 So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
Hijeh chun tun kachapa ka thusei hi phatechan ngaiyin kathu sei hohi najui ding ahi.
9 Go out to the flock and [kill] two nice young goats and bring [the meat] to me. Then I will prepare some tasty food for your father, the way he likes it.
“Nangma kelngoi hon lah a gachen lang ahoitah cheh anouni hinkai jin chuteng le keiman napa dulam tah a kahon peh ding,
10 Then you can take it to your father, in order that he can eat it, and then, before he dies, he will give his blessing to you, [and not to your older brother].”
Hiche teng chule nangman napa komma nachoi ding aman aneh a aneh jou teng phatthei na boh ding ahi, ama ahinkho adampet ahi,” ati.
11 But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “But my brother Esau’s skin has hair all over it, and my skin is not like that! My skin is smooth!
Ahin Jacob in anu Rebekah adonbut in ajah'a, “Vetem in ka upa Esau a tichung amul in ahin keima vou nem a timul lou ka hi.
12 What will happen if my father touches me? He will realize that I am tricking him, and as a result (I will be cursed/he will say that God will do bad things to) me, not a blessing!”
I kati ding ham? kapa in eihin jut le ta le jou a kabol ahin hetdoh leh koi phatthei chan sanga sapset na joh kachan joh ding ahi,” ati.
13 His mother replied, “If that happens, let the curse be on me. You do what I am telling you. Go and get the goats for me!”
Hinlah anu Rebekah in adonbut in, “Sapsetna ho aumle keiman abon'in keiman kipoh tang kate ati, chapa bol in ka ti hohi na bol angaiye, che inlang kelngoi chu ka henga hin kailut loiyin ati!”
14 So Jacob went and killed two goats and brought them to his mother. Then [with the meat] his mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked.
Hichun Jacob jong achen kelngoi chu anu kom'a ahin kailut tai. Chuin anun jong apa dulam tah in ahon peh tai.
15 Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s clothes that were with her in the tent, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
Hichun Esau von holah a aphapen chu insunga kon in agala doh in achapa aneojo pa Jacob chu avonpeh tan ahi.
16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
Chule kelngoi nou teni mulchu akhut teni le angong amul bei lai achun atom peh in ahi.
17 Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
Hichun Rebekah in sa twitah a ahon chule changlhah ama semsa chu achapa Jacob khut a apetan ahi.
18 Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
Hichun Jacob in changlhah le kelsa chu apa aga pen “Hepa” atileh aman jong “Hoiyo koipen nahim ka chapa?”
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn son. I did what you told me to do. Sit up and eat some of the meat so that you can then bless me.”
Jacob'in a donbut in, “Keima Esau na chapa apeng masa chu kahi,” ati. “Keiman kahin subulhit tai nei nganse na chu lungset tah in kithou inlang ka hin choi sa twitah a kihon hi ne inlang phatthei neiboh tan,” ati.
20 But Isaac asked his son, “My son, how is it that you were able to find and kill an animal so quickly?” Jacob replied, “Because Yahweh, whom you worship, enabled me to be successful.”
Chuin Isaac in achapa chu adonbut in, “Iti dan ham? man gangtah in nahin vaidoh loijen in ka chapa atile aman jong adonbut in Pakai na Pathen in gangtah a eihin lolhin sah ahi bouve,” ati.
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near to me, my son, so that I can touch you and determine whether you are really my son Esau.”
Hichun Isaac in Jacob henga, “Hung ki khin nai jin katham phah thei nadin, nangma hi ka chapa Esau nahi mong nam nahi lou ham na jutle tem inge.
22 So Jacob went close to him. Isaac. Isaac touched him and said, “Your voice sounds like Jacob, but your hands feel hairy, like the hands of your older brother, Esau.”
Hijeh chun Jacob in apa Isaac anailut in ahile ahin jutle tan ahi, a awso hila Jacob awso ahin, akhut teni vang hi Esau khut ahi ngal in atin ahi.
23 Isaac did not recognize Jacob, [because he was blind] and because Jacob’s hands were now hairy, like those of his older brother, Esau. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.
Amavang Jacob ahi chu ahetchen thei lou ahitai, ajeh chu Jacob khut chu a upa Esau khut tobanga mul ahijeh'in hichun Isaac chun Jacob chu phatthei abohtan ahi.
24 But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
Isaac in adong pha kit leuvin, “Nangma hi kachapa Esau nahi mong hinam? atile, Jacob in adonbut in “Ka hinai,” ati.
25 Isaac said, “My son, bring me some of the meat that you have cooked, so that I may eat it and then give you my blessing.” So Jacob brought him some, and he ate it. Jacob also brought him some wine, and he drank it.
Chuphat in Isaac in aseiye, “Ka henga hindom naitan nangma phatthei kaboh thei na dingin kachapan gangtah a naga mat sa na hon chu ne ing kate,” ati, chuin Jacob in ahin doppeh phat in anen chule lengpitwi jong ahin dop peh in ahile Isaac chun adon tai.
26 Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
Hichun apa Isaac chun ajah a “eihin nailut in lang neihin bengchop tem in ka chapa,” atile,
27 So Jacob came close to him, and his father kissed him on the cheek. Isaac smelled the clothes Jacob was wearing. They smelled like Esau’s clothes. So he said, “Truly, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed.
Jacob'in anai phei jin apa chu abengchop tai, chuin Isaac kivonna ho gimnam chu anah le len chuin achapa chu phatthei aboh in hitin aseiye, “Vetan kachapa gimnam hi Pakai phatthei bohsa gamlah gimnam abang'e.
28 I ask that God will send down to you dew from heaven [to water your fields], and cause you to have abundant crops, good harvests of grain, and grapes for wine.
Tun Pakai Pathen in vana kon in daitwi na chap jing hen, leiset'a leipha lai lai nachan sah jing hen; chule chang le mim chule juning ninglhin sah jing hen.
29 I ask that people of many nations will serve you and bow down to you. I ask that you will rule over your brothers, and that your mother’s descendants will also bow down to you. I ask that God will curse/punish those who (curse you/ask God to do bad things to you), and bless those who bless you.”
Nam simsen lou vin naja hen chule mihem tamtah nangma noija kun cheh hen lang, nasopi ho chunga vai hin hom jing in lang; nanu sunga peng doh pasal jouse jong na henga kun cheh uhen. Nangma na gaosapte chu gaosap chang hen, chule nangma phatthei na bohte chu phattheiboh chang hen!” ati.
30 After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
Isaac in Jacob phatthei aboh chai chai jin; Jacob in apa angsung agah dalhah ding kon chet in a upa Esau chu agam lena a kon in ahung lhung pai jeng tai.
31 Esau cooked some tasty meat and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “My father, please sit up and eat some of the meat that I have cooked, so that you can then give me your blessing!”
Chuin Esau in jong nehding a althet in ahon peh in apa henga ahin dop peh apa jah a aseitai. “Hepa hung kithou in lang na hai hai pet'a phatthei neiboh na ding in na chapa thasa hi hung ne o!” ati.
32 His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
Ahin Isaac in adonbut in, “Nang koi nahim? Esau in adonbut in, “Na chapa apeng masa Esau kahi,” ati.
33 Then Isaac, realizing that it was not Esau who had come earlier, trembled very violently. He said, “Then who is it that brought me some meat from an animal that he had hunted and killed, and I ate it all? He was here just before you came. I blessed him, and I cannot (take back that blessing/declare that those things will not happen to him).”
Isaac hatah in ati akithing tan aseiye, “Koiham Ijo langa hin dom a hung achu, keiman ama hin dop chu kana ne tai. Nangma hung lhun masang jep chun phatthei jong ka boh jou tai; phatthei na jouse jong ama achang jou tai.”
34 When Esau heard those words of his father, he cried loudly. He was very disappointed. He said to his father, “My father, bless me, too!”
Chuin Esau in apa thusei jouse chu angai chai sohhel phat'in Esau jong ha kan akap'in hatah in alunghang in apa komma atao kit'in, “Hepa keima jong phatthei nei boh teitei in ong,” ati.
35 But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
Hinlah Isaac in aseiye, “Na sopipa ahung in eihung lhem lha tai, nang phatthei na chan ding jouse nalah peh gam tai.”
36 Esau said, “It is right [RHQ] that his name is Jacob, which means ‘cheat,’ because he deceived me two times. The first time he took my rights from being his firstborn son, and this time he took my blessing!” Then he asked, “Do you not have any blessing left for me?”
Esau in adonbut in, “Hiche jeh a chu amin Jacob kisah hitei jinte ong? Ajeh chu aman nivei jen eilhep lhah ahitai, phat masa in ka upat hina eina lah peh in, tun ka phatthei chan ding ana kilah doh kit e, atin hichun keiya dinga phatthei khat beh jong neina khen pehlou hitam?” atile.
37 Isaac answered and said to Esau, “I have declared that your younger brother will rule over you, and declared that all his relatives will serve him. And I have said that God will give him plenty of grain and grapes for wine. So, my son, (what can I do for you?/There is nothing more that I can do for you!)” [RHQ]
Isaac in Esau adonbut in, “keiman Jacob chu nangma chunga vaihom ding in ka koi tai, chule asopite jouse ama noija kun cheh diu, chule chang le mim ahin, juning ahin, haothei na jong kapeh ahitai, tua hijat nunga nangma ipi kabolpeh thei nahlai ding ham kachapa?” atitai.
38 Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
Ahi vang'in Esau in apa jah a “O hepa phatthei na khat chabeh jong umlou hitam? phatthei neiboh teitei yin ong Hepa!” atin apeng in akap tai.
39 His father Isaac answered and said to him, “The place where you will live will be far from the fertile soil and from the dew that God sends from heaven [to water the fields].
Chuin apa Isaac in ahoupin ajah a “Nangma leichung phalou lah lah a cheng ding na hitan, chule van daitwi in jong hin chap khata ponte.
40 You will [rob and] kill people [MTY] in order to [get what you need to] live, and you will be as though you are your brother’s slave. But when you decide to rebel against him, you will (free yourself from/no longer be under) his control.”
Nangma na chemjam a naki vahding chule na sopipa noija na um ding ahin nangma na hung ki- ondoh teng vangleh nangong chang'a kona ama namkol chu na pai lhah ding ahi tai,” ati.
41 So, because his father had given a blessing to Jacob, and not to him, Esau hated his younger brother. Esau thought to himself, “After my father dies and we finish mourning for him, I will kill Jacob!”
Hiche phat a pat chun Esau in Jacob chu hatah in ahin vetda pan ahi tai; ajeh chu apa Isaac in phatthei na jouse Jacob aboh jeh ahi. Chule Esau in alung thim sunga hitin agel tan, “Kapa hin nikho jong hi sotta pon tin a kichai teng le keiman ka naopa Jacob hi ka tha ding ahi,” ati.
42 But Rebekah found out what her older son, Esau, was thinking. So she summoned her younger son, Jacob, and said to him, “Listen to me. Your older brother, Esau, is [comforting himself by] planning to kill you, to get revenge because of your deceiving your father.
Ahin achapa alenjo Esau lungthim tohgon jouse chu Rebekah jah a aki seidoh khatan ahin Rebekah in mi asol'in achapa neojopa Jacob chu aga kousah in ajah a asei pehtai, “Ngaiyin na upa Esau khun nang thana ding in lungthim tohgon anei tai,
43 So now, my son, listen carefully to what I am telling you. Escape quickly and go and stay with my brother Laban, in Haran [town].
Chapa chingthei tah in ngai jin, tun kigong inlang kasopipa Laban kom Haran langa jam tan.
44 Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
Hiche mun achun ni ejat hijong leh ga umtan na upa Esau lungdam kahsen.
45 When he forgets what you did to him, I will send a message to you, to tell you to return from there. If Esau kills you, [others will kill him, and] then both my sons would die at the same time!” [RHQ]
Ama ahung lungdam a nabolset naho asuhmil hel'a ahung lungdam mong mong teng leh keiman mi hinsol ing ting nahung holdoh sah nang'e. Nang ni ucha nikhat a na manthah lhon ding ka nompoi.
46 Rebekah also said to Isaac, “These [foreign] women whom Esau has married, who are descendants of Heth, are making my life miserable. I would prefer to die than to see Jacob marry a woman from the descendants of Heth in this area!”
Hichun Rebekah in Isaac komma aseiye, “Keiman hiche Hit mite numei ho kathei chim behset jeng tai, Ijem tin Jacob in hiche numei ho jin ahin kipui kit ding ka gel thei poi kathi lo tei ding ahi,” ati.
