Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
Isak namalasi ma, mata nara rangga, de noꞌe ana ulu na, fo ana sue naseliꞌ a nae, “Sau e! Uma ia dei!” Esau nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee, amaꞌ?”
2 and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
Isak nafadꞌe nae, “Taꞌo ia! Au, lasiꞌ ena. Nda bubꞌuluꞌ fai hiraꞌ naa au mate sa.
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.
De haꞌi tee-tande mara, fo muu sombu banda fui esa fee au dei.
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.”
Baliꞌ naa, tunu-nasu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ tungga au hihii ngga, fo mendi nema. Ua basa fo, au fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ. Basa naa, fo au mate o, malole.”
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,
Boe ma, Esau lao neu sombu banda. Te Ribka o rena Isak oꞌola na boe.
6 Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
De neu nafadꞌe Yakob nae, “We, Ako! Rena malolole! Faꞌ ra ama ma olaꞌ no Esau taꞌo ia:
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.’
‘Muu sombu banda fui esa, fo tunu-nasu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ fee au. Mete ma au ua basa, dei fo au fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, sia LAMATUALAIN mata na.’
8 So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
De rena malolole, Ako! Tungga tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ parenda ngga ia.
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.
Oras ia, muu sia hita lalaet hiek-lombo na, fo hii mala hie tena mbarunaꞌ rua. Mbau se fo haꞌi mala sisi na, mendi fee au. Dei fo au tunu-nasu tungga ama ma hihii na.
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].”
Au tunu-nasu ala, naa, mendi fee ama ma fo ana naa. Basa fo, ana fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, dei fo ana feꞌe mate na. No taꞌo naa, ho mana hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naa, te nda aꞌa ma sa.”
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!
Boe ma Yakob olaꞌ no ina na nae, “Te Inaꞌ e! Aꞌa Saul ao na mafuluꞌ, te au ao ngga manggamomouꞌ!
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!”
Afiꞌ losa amaꞌ nafaroe ao ngga ma, ana nahine au eꞌedik e. Boe ma ana sumba-ndoon au!”
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!”
Ma ina na nataa nae, “Ako e! Afiꞌ duꞌa saꞌ boe. Fee nema, dei fo au tao dalan! Mete ma amam sumba-ndoon nggo, dei fo au lemba-doi! De muu haꞌi hiek leo.”
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.
Dei de, Yakob neu humu nendi hiek ra, de ana mbau, ma nendi fee ina na. Ma Ribka tunu-nasu tungga Isak hihii na.
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.
Ana o haꞌi Esau bua-baꞌu malole na, de fee Yakob pake.
16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
Ma ana mboti Yakob lima na no nggara-bote na, nendiꞌ hiek ka fulu na.
17 Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
Ma ana fee Yakob nanaa maladꞌaꞌ naa ra, no roti fo ana taoꞌ a.
18 Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
Boe ma Yakob nendi nanaat naa fee ama na. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ama ngge! Au uma ena.” Isak nataa nae, “Hee? Ho seka?”
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.”
Yakob nataa nae, “Au ia, amaꞌ ana ulu na, Esau! Au tao tungga saa fo amaꞌ denu faꞌ ra. Fela fo mua leo. Au nasu ala sisi fo sombu endi mia lasi a. Mua, fo basa na fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ leo!”
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.”
Ma Isak olaꞌ nae, “Ho seli, o! Ho hambu banda fui lai-lai neuꞌ ena!” Yakob nataa nae, “Au hambu lai-lai, huu LAMATUALAIN fo amaꞌ beꞌutee neuꞌ a, tulu-fali au.”
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.”
Boe ma Isak noꞌe Yakob nae, “Uma deka-deka, fo au ufuroe sobꞌa nggo! Ho ia, tebꞌe Esau, do?”
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.”
Yakob neu deka no ama na, de lasiꞌ a nafaroe e. Ma ana olaꞌ nae, “Haraꞌ ia, onaꞌ Yakob hara na! Te limaꞌ ia, onaꞌ Esau lima na.”
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.
Isak nda nahine ana na Yakob sa, huu lima na mafuluꞌ onaꞌ a Esau. Ana nae fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu Yakob ma,
24 But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
natane seluꞌ fai nae, “Ho ia, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Esau, do?” Yakob nataa nae, “Tebꞌe amaꞌ!”
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.
Boe ma, Isak olaꞌ nae, “Lo sisi naa nema, te au ae ua. Dei fo, fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.” Yakob loo sisi a neu e, ma fee oe anggor fo ana ninu.
26 Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
Basa ma, ama na olaꞌ nae, “Ana ngge! Uma deka-deka sia ia, fo idꞌu au dei.”
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.
Yakob neu deka-deka de idꞌu e, ma Isak hae nala Esau bua-baꞌu na foo na. Basa de, ana olaꞌ fee Yakob papala-babꞌanggiꞌ nae, “Ana ngga foo na, onaꞌ nembe uru fo LAMATUALAIN pala-banggiꞌ.
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.
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ dinis mia lalai a nema, fo tao osi-lutu mara dadꞌi meulauꞌ! Fo Ana fee are nae-nae, ma boa anggor maisi sofeꞌ.
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.”
Nusaꞌ ra dadꞌi ho ate ma, ma leo ra, beꞌutee fee hadat neu nggo. Dei fo ho parenda basa toronoo mara, ma ara sendeꞌ lululangga nara neu nggo. Seka sumba-ndoon nggo, sira o hambu sumba-ndoon boe. Ma seka fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, sira o hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ boe.”
30 After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
Isak fee basa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ma, Yakob lao hela e. Boe ma, aꞌa na Esau baliꞌ nendi banda fo sombu nalaꞌ a.
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!”
Ana tunu-nasu nala, de nendi fee ama na, ma olaꞌ nae, “Ama ngge! Fela fo mua leo. Au tunu-nasu sisi fo sombu alaꞌ a. Mua leo, fo basa naa, fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.”
32 His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
Isak rena nala ma, ana titindindi, de natane nae, “Hee! Ho se fai?” Esau nataa nae, “Au, Sau! Ana ulu ma.”
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).”
Boe ma Isak nggeꞌe-nggeꞌe. Natane nae, “Seka mana nendi sisi faꞌ ra? Au ua basa, de fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ena. Nda bisa lea baliꞌ sa.”
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!”
Rena ama na olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, Esau rala na mera, de nggae ma nggasi nahereꞌ nae, “Adoo! Amaꞌ e! Fee au papala-babꞌanggiꞌ boe!”
35 But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
Te Isak nae, “Nesen. Odꞌim eꞌedik nala au ena, ma namanaꞌo nendi papala-babꞌanggim ena.”
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?”
Boe ma Esau olaꞌ nae, “Ana eꞌedik nala au lao rua ena. Fefeu na, ana eꞌedik de haꞌi nala hak ulu ngga. Ia naa, papala-babꞌanggi ngga fai. Memaꞌ naran ‘Yakob’ naa, nandaa, huu ana mana maꞌedik. Amaꞌ feꞌe muꞌena papala-babꞌanggiꞌ feaꞌ fee au, do?”
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]
Boe ma Isak nataa nae, “Nesen. Au soꞌu e dadꞌi malanggam ena. Ma odꞌi-aꞌa nara, dadꞌi ate nara. Au fee ne are naen seli, ma boa anggor maisi sofeꞌ. Dadꞌi ana ngge! Hela feꞌe papala-babꞌanggiꞌ saa fai, fo fee nggo?”
38 Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
Esau rena nala ma, ana akaꞌ a suu-noki ama na nakandooꞌ a nae, “Amaꞌ papala-babꞌanggi ma akaꞌ esaꞌ, do? Amaꞌ feꞌe bisa sangga fee au papala-babꞌanggi feaꞌ. Mae papala-babꞌanggi anadikiꞌ o, neu!” Boe ma ana nggae fai.
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].
Boe ma, Isak nataa mbali e nae, “Ho masodꞌa ma naꞌadooꞌ mia osi meulauꞌ, te nda hambu dinis onda mia lalai fo naꞌadꞌoe rae ma sa.
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.”
Ho fela-tafa ma mana fee nggo masodꞌaꞌ. Te mae taꞌo bee o, ho dadꞌi odꞌi ma ate na. Mete ma ho bisa labꞌan e, naa, ho feꞌe bisa nenemboꞌit mia liman.”
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!”
Esau namanasa Yakob seli, huu odꞌi na nalaka nala papala-babꞌanggi na. Ana duꞌa nae, “Nda dooꞌ sa te, ama ngga mate. De nehani dei. Basa bebeꞌe na fo, au isa e!”
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.
Ribka rena nala Esau dudꞌuꞌa na ma, ana noꞌe Yakob nae, “Rena malolole! Aꞌa ma naꞌena dudꞌuꞌat nae balas rala mera na. Ana nae nisa nggo, de, mela lai-lai misiꞌ toꞌo Labꞌan ma sia Haran.
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].
44 Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
Muu leo dodꞌoo sia naa, losa aꞌa ma nda afiꞌ namanasa sa ena.
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]
Mete ma ana liliiꞌ saa fo ho tao neu e, dei fo au denu atahori roꞌe baliꞌ nggo. Te au nda nau ana ngga ruꞌa se mopo sia fai esa rala sa.”
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!”
Basa ma, Ribka sangga dala fo Isak denu Yakob lao. Dadꞌi ana kokoe Isak nae, “Aꞌa e! Au doaꞌ o Esau sao nara atahori Het ia ra! Mete ma Yakob o sao ana feto Het boe, malole lenaꞌ au mateꞌ a.”
