Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
Ary rehefa antitra Isaka, ary pahina ny masony ka tsy nahita, dia niantso an’ i Esao lahimatoany izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Anaka; ary hoy izy taminy kosa: Inty aho.
2 and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
Ary hoy izy: Indro fa efa antitra aho, ka tsy fantatro izay andro hahafatesako;
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.
koa ankehitriny, masìna ianao, alao ny fitifiranao dia ny tranon-jana-tsipìkanao sy ny tsipìkanao, ary mankanesa any an-tsaha, ka ihazao aho;
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.”
ary anaovy hanim-py aho araka ilay tiako, ka ento atỳ amiko hohaniko, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahiko rano anao, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.
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,
Ary Rebeka nandre an’ Isaka niteny tamin’ i Esao zananilahy. Ary dia lasa nankany an-tsaha Esao nitady haza ho entiny.
6 Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
Ary Rebeka niteny tamin’ i Jakoba zananilahy ka nanao hoe: Indro, efa reko ny rainao niteny tamin’ i Esao rahalahinao nanao hoe:
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.’
Ihazao aho, ka anaovy hanim-py hohaniko; dia hitso-drano anao aho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.
8 So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
Koa ankehitriny, anaka, araho ny teniko amin’ izay asaiko ataonao.
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.
Mankanesa kely any amin’ ny ondry aman’ osy, ka analao zanak’ osy roa tsara aho; dia hataoko hanim-py ho an’ ny rainao araka ilay tiany izany;
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].”
ary dia ho entinao any amin’ ny rainao hohaniny, mba hitsofany rano anao, dieny tsy mbola maty izy.
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!
Fa hoy Jakoba tamin-dRebeka reniny: Indro, Esao rahalahiko dia lehilahy voloina, fa izaho lehilahy malambo hoditra kosa;
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!”
ary angamba hitsapa ahy ikaky, dia ho toy ny mpanandoka eo imasony aho ka hahatonga ozona amiko, fa tsy tso-drano.
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!”
Ary hoy ny reniny taminy: Aoka ho ahy ihany anaka, ny ozona ho anao; araho ihany ny teniko, ka mandehana, itondray aho.
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.
Dia nandeha izy ka naka, ary nitondra tao amin’ ny reniny; ary ny reniny kosa dia nanao hanim-py araka ilay tian’ ny rainy.
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.
Ary nalain-dRebeka ny fitafian’ i Esao lahimatoany, dia ny tsara izay efa notehiriziny tao an-trano, ka nampitafiny an’ i Jakoba zanany faralahy.
16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
Ary ny hoditry ny zanak’ osy dia nafonony ny tànany sy ny malambolambo amin’ ny vozony;
17 Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
dia natolony teo an-tànan’ i Jakoba zanany ny hanim-py sy ny mofo izay efa namboariny.
18 Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
Ary Jakoba nankany amin’ ny rainy ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô! ary hoy kosa izy: Inty aho; iza moa ianao, anaka?
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.”
Ary hoy Jakoba tamin-drainy: Izaho no Esao zanakao lahimatoa; efa nanao araka izay nasainao nataoko aho; masìna ianao, miarena, dia mipetraha, ka hano ny hazako, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahinao rano ahy.
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.”
Ary hoy Isaka tamin’ ny zanany: Nanao ahoana, anaka, no dia nalaky nahazo toy izany ianao? Ary hoy izy: Satria Jehovah Andriamanitrao no nampahazo ahy.
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.”
Ary hoy Isaka tamin’ i Jakoba; Mba manatòna kely hoe hitsapako anao, anaka, hahafantarako na Esao zanako tokoa ianao, na tsia.
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.”
Ary Jakoba nanatona an’ Isaka rainy, ary izy dia nitsapa azy ka nanao hoe: Ny feo dia feon’ i Jakoba, fa ny tanana dia tànan’ i Esao.
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.
Ary tsy nahafantatra azy izy, satria voloina tahaka ny tanan’ i Esao rahalahiny ny tànany; dia notsofiny rano izy.
24 But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
Ary hoy izy: Hianao tokoa moa no Esao zanako? Dia hoy izy: Izaho no izy.
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.
Ary hoy kosa Isaka: Arosoy eto anoloako ary izato hazan’ ny zanako hihinanako, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahiko rano anao. Ary dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy; ary nitondrany divay izy, dia nisotro.
26 Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
Ary hoy Isaka rainy taminy: Mba manatòna kely ka manoroha ahy, anaka.
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.
Dia nanatona izy ka nanoroka azy; ary Isaka nandre ny fofon’ ny fitafiany, dia nitso-drano azy ka nanao hoe: E! ny fofon’ ny zanako. Dia tahaka ny fofon’ ny saha izay notahin’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary hanomezan’ Andriamanitra anao anie ny andon’ ny lanitra sy ny tsiron’ ny tany, ary vary sy ranom-boaloboka betsaka.
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.”
Hanompo anao anie ny firenena maro, Ary hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny firenena samy hafa. Ho tompon’ ny rahalahinao anie ianao, ary aoka hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny zanaky ny reninao. Ho voaozona anie izay rehetra manozona anao, ary hohasoavina anie izay manisy soa anao.
30 After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
Ary rehefa vita ny nitsofan’ Isaka rano an’ i Jakoba, ary vao nidify Jakoba teo anatrehan’ Isaka rainy, dia niditra kosa Esao rahalahiny avy nihaza.
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!”
Ary izy koa nanao hanim-py ka nitondra azy tao amin’ ny rainy; ary hoy izy tamin’ ny rainy: Aoka hiarina ny raiko ka hihinana amin’ ny hazan’ ny zanany, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahinao rano ahy.
32 His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
Fa hoy Isaka rainy taminy: Iza indray moa ianao? Ary hoy izy: Izaho no Esao zanakao lahimatoa.
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).”
Ary toran-kovitra indrindra Isaka ka nanao hoe: Iza ary ilay naka haza ka nitondra teto amiko, ary efa nihinanako izany rehetra izany, fony tsy mbola tonga ianao, ka efa notsofiko rano izy; eny, hotahina tokoa izy.
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!”
Raha vao ren’ i Esao ny tenin’ ny rainy, dia nitaraina mafy dia mafy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mba tsofy rano re aho, dia izaho koa, ry ikaky ô.
35 But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
Ary hoy rainy: Tonga ny rahalahinao nanandoka ka nahalasa ny tso-dranonao.
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?”
Dia hoy Esao: Moa tsy mandia va ny anarany hoe Jakoba? fa efa namingana ahy indroa izy izao: ny fizokiako efa nalainy; ary, indro, ankehitriny lasany koa ny tso-dranoko. Ary hoy kosa izy: Tsy mba nitahiry tso-drano ho ahy va ianao?
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]
Dia namaly Isaka ka nanao tamin’ i Esao hoe: Indro, efa nataoko ho tomponao izy, ary ny rahalahiny rehetra nomeko ho mpanompony; ary vary sy ranom-boaloboka no namelomako azy; koa inona indray no hataoko aminao, anaka?
38 Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
Ary hoy Esao tamin’ ny rainy: Tso-drano iray ihany va no anao, ry ikaky? mba tsofy rano re aho, dia izaho koa, ry ikaky ô. Ary Esao dia nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany.
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].
Dia namaly Isaka rainy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, tsy ho amin’ ny tsiron’ ny tany ny fonenanao, ary tsy ho amin’ ny andon’ ny lanitra avy any ambony;
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.”
Fa ny sabatrao no hivelomanao, ary ny rahalahinao no hotompoinao; kanefa, raha mby amin’ izay andro hahafahanao. Dia hotapahinao ny ziogany ho afaka amin’ ny vozonao.
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!”
Ary Esao nanao fo-lentika tamin’ i Jakoba noho ny tso-drano izay nataon-drainy taminy; dia hoy Esao anakampo: Efa antomotra ny andro hisaonana an’ ikaky, dia hamono an’ i Jakoba rahalahiko aho.
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.
Ary nisy namambara tamin-dRebeka izany tenin’ i Esao zanany lahimatoa izany; dia naniraka nampaka an’ i Jakoba zanany faralahy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, Esao rahalahinao mikasa hamaly ny nataonao ka hamono anao.
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].
Ary ankehitriny, anaka, araho ny teniko; miainga ka mandosira ho any Harana, dia any amin’ i Labana anadahiko.
44 Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
Ary mitoera any aminy andro vitsivitsy mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeran’ ny rahalahinao,
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]
eny, mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeran’ ny rahalahinao aminao, ka ho hadinony izay nataonao taminy; dia haniraka aho ka hampaka anao any; hataoko ahoana no famoy anareo mirahalahy indray andro?
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!”
Ary hoy Rebeka tamin’ Isaka: Tsy te-ho velona aho noho ireny zanakavavin’ ny Hetita; raha maka vady amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Hetita Jakoba, tahaka ireto izay avy amin’ ny zazavavy tompon-tany koa hataoko inona ny aiko?
