Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
Nang matanda na si Isaac at ang kanyang mga mata ay malabo na kaya hindi na siya makakita, tinawag niya ang nakatatandang anak niyang si Esau. Sinabi niya, “Anak ko.”
2 and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
Sumagot ito, “Narito po ako.” Sinabi niya rito, “Tumingin ka rito, matanda na ako. Hindi ko alam ang araw ng aking kamatayan.
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.
Kaya kunin mo ang iyong mga sandata, ang iyong sisidlan ng palaso at pana at mangaso ka sa bukid para sa akin.
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.”
Gawan mo ako ng masarap na pagkain na gusto ko at dalhin mo iyon sa akin para makain ko iyon at pagpalain ka bago ako mamatay.”
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,
Ngayon narinig ni Rebeca nang kausapin ni Isaac si Esau na kanyang anak. Nagpunta si Esau sa bukid para mangaso ng hayop at dalhin ito pauwi.
6 Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
Kinausap ni Rebeca si Jacob na kanyang anak at sinabi, “Tumingin ka rito, narinig kong kinausap ng iyong ama ang kapatid mong si Esau. Sinabi niya
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.’
'Dalhan mo ako ng pinangasong hayop at gawan ako ng masarap na pagkain, upang kainin ko ito at pagpapalain ka sa harap ni Yahweh bago ang aking kamatayan.'
8 So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
Kaya ngayon, anak ko, sundin mo ang tinig ko habang inuutusan kita.
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.
Pumunta ka sa kawan at dalhan mo ako ng dalawang batang kambing; at magluluto ako ng masarap na pagkain para sa ama mo, na katulad ng gusto niya.
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].”
Dadalhin mo ito sa kanya para kainin upang ikaw ay pagpalain niya bago ang kanyang kamatayan.”
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!
Sinabi ni Jacob sa kanyang inang si Rebeca, “Tingnan ninyo, ang kapatid kong si Esau ay mabalahibo, at ako ay makinis na tao.
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!”
Malamang himasin ako ng ama ko, at ako ay magmimistulang manlilinlang sa kanya. Magdadala ako ng isang sumpa sa aking sarili at hindi pagpapala.”
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!”
Sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang ina, “Anak ko, hayaan mong mapunta sa akin ang anumang sumpa. Basta sundin mo ang tinig ko, at umalis ka, at dalhin mo ang mga iyon sa akin.”
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.
Kaya kinuha ni Jacob ang dalawang batang kambing at dinala ang mga ito sa kanyang ina, at ang kanyang ina ay gumawa ng masarap na pagkain katulad ng gusto ng kanyang ama.
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.
Kinuha ni Rebeca ang pinakamagandang damit ni Esau, na nakatatandang anak niya, na nasa kanya sa bahay, at ipinasuot ito kay Jacob, na nakababatang anak niya.
16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
Inilagay niya ang balat ng batang kambing sa mga kamay niya at sa makinis na bahagi ng leeg niya.
17 Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
Inilagay niya ang inihanda niyang masarap na pagkain at ang tinapay sa kamay ng anak niyang si Jacob.
18 Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
Pumunta si Jacob sa kanyang ama at nagsabi, “Ama ko.” Sinabi niya, “Narito ako; sino ka, anak ko?”
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.”
Sinabi ni Jacob sa kanyang ama, “Ako si Esau na unang anak mo; nagawa ko na ang sinabi mo sa akin. Umupo ka at kainin ang aking napangaso upang pagpalain mo ako.”
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.”
Sinabi ni Isaac sa kanyang anak, “Paano mo itong natagpuan nang napakabilis, anak ko?” Sinabi niya, “Dahil si Yahweh na iyong Diyos ay dinala ito sa akin.”
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.”
Sinabi ni Isaac kay Jacob, “Lumapit ka upang mahimas kita at malaman kung ikaw ang tunay kong anak na si Esau o hindi.”
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.”
Pumunta si Jacob sa kanyang amang si Isaac, at hinimas siya ni Isaac at sinabi niya, “Ang tinig ay tinig ni Jacob, ngunit ang mga kamay ay mga kamay ni Esau.
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.
Hindi siya nakilala ni Isaac dahil ang kanyang mga kamay ay mabalahibo, katulad ng mga kamay ng kapatid niyang si Esau, kaya pinagpala siya ni Isaac.
24 But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
Sinabi niya, “Ikaw ba talaga ang anak kong si Esau?” Sumagot siya, “Ako nga.”
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.
Sinabi ni Isaac, “Dalhin mo sa akin ang pagkain at kakainin ko ang napangaso mo upang mapagpala kita.” Dinala ni Jacob sa kanya ang pagkain. Kumain si Isaac, at dinalhan siya ni Jacob ng alak, at siya ay uminom.
26 Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
Sinabi ng kanyang amang si Isaac, “Lumapit ka sa akin at hagkan mo ako, anak ko.”
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.
Lumapit si Jacob at hinalikan siya, at naamoy niya ang amoy ng kanyang damit at pinagpala siya. Sinabi nya, “Tingnan mo, ang amoy ng aking anak ay katulad ng amoy ng isang bukid na pinagpala ni Yahweh.
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.
Nawa bigyan ka ng Diyos ng isang bahagi ng hamog ng langit, isang bahagi ng katabaan ng lupa, at masaganang mga butil at bagong alak.
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.”
Nawa ang mga tao ay maglingkod sa iyo at yumuko sa iyo ang mga bansa. Maging amo ka ng iyong mga kapatid na lalaki, at nawa ang mga anak ng iyong ina ay yumuko sa iyo. Nawa ang bawat isang sumumpa sa iyo ay sumpain; at nawa ang bawat isang magpala sa iyo ay pagpalain.”
30 After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
Matapos pagpalain ni Isaac si Jacob, at bahagya pa siyang lumayo sa presensya ng ama niyang si Isaac, noon naman dumating ang kapatid niyang si Esau mula sa pangangaso.
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!”
Gumawa rin siya ng masarap na pagkain at dinala iyon sa kanyang ama. Sinabi niya, “Ama, bumangon ka at kainin mo ang ilan sa napangaso ng iyong anak upang mapagpala mo ako.”
32 His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
Ang kanyang amang si Isaac ay nagsabi sa kanya, “Sino ka?” Sinabi niya, “Ako ang anak mo, ang unang anak mong si Esau.”
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).”
Nanginig nang matindi si Isaac at nagsabi, “Sino pala iyon na nangaso ng hayop na ito at dinala sa akin? Kinain ko lahat ito bago ka dumating, at pinagpala ko siya. Tunay nga, siya ay pagpapalain.”
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!”
Nang marinig ni Esau ang mga salita ng kanyang ama, siya ay umiyak nang napakalakas at umiyak ng may kapaitan, sinabi sa kanyang ama, “Ako rin, pagpalain mo ako, ama ko.”
35 But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
Sinabi ni Isaac, “Mapanlilinlang na naparito ang kapatid mo at inagaw ang iyong pagpapala.”
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?”
Sinabi ni Esau, “Hindi ba tama lang na pinangalanan siyang Jacob? Dahil dinaya niya ako sa dalawang pagkakataong ito. Inagaw niya ang aking karapatan ng isinilang at tingnan mo, ngayon ay inagaw niya ang aking pagpapala.” At sinabi niya, “Wala ka bang naitabing pagpapala para sa akin?”
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]
Sumagot si Isaac at sinabi kay Esau, “Tingnan mo, nagawa ko na siyang amo mo at naibigay ko na sa kanya ang lahat ng mga kapatid niya bilang alipin. At nabigyan ko siya ng butil at bagong alak. Ano pa ang magagawa ko para sa iyo, anak ko?”
38 Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
Sinabi ni Esau sa kanyang ama, “Wala ka bang kahit isang pagpapala sa akin, ama ko? Pagpalain mo ako, ako rin, ama ko.” Umiyak nang malakas si Esau.
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].
Sumagot ang kanyang amang si Isaac at sinabi sa kanya, “Tingnan mo, ang lugar na pinaninirahan mo ay magiging malayo sa kayamanan ng mundo, malayo sa hamog ng langit sa itaas.
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.”
Mabubuhay ka sa pamamagitan ng iyong espada, at paglilingkuran mo ang iyong kapatid na lalaki. Subalit kapag magrebelde ka, maaalog mo ang kanyang pamatok mula sa iyong leeg.”
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!”
Nagalit si Esau kay Jacob dahil sa pagpapalang binigay ng kanilang ama sa kanya. Sinabi niya sa kanyang puso, “Malapit na ang mga araw ng pagluluksa para sa aking ama; pagkatapos niyon papatayin ko ang kapatid kong si Jacob.”
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.
Ang mga salita ni Esau na nakatatanda niyang anak ay nasabi kay Rebeca. Kaya nagpadala at tinawag niya si Jacob na nakababatang anak niya at sinabi rito, “Tingnan mo, ang kapatid mong si Esau ay inaaliw ang kanyang sarili sa pagbabalak na patayin ka.
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].
Kaya ngayon, anak ko, sundin mo ako at tumakas ka papunta kay Laban, na kapatid kong lalaki, sa Haran.
44 Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
Manatili ka nang ilang araw sa piling niya, hanggang sa humupa ang galit ng kapatid mo,
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]
hanggang mawala ang galit ng kapatid mo sa iyo, at malimutan niya ang ginawa mo sa kanya. Pagkatapos magpapadala ako at ibabalik ka mula roon. Bakit kailangang kapwa kayong mawala sa akin sa isang araw?”
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!”
Sinabi ni Rebeca kay Isaac, “Ako ay pinanghihinaan sa buhay dahil sa mga anak na babae ni Heth. Kung kunin ni Esau na asawa ang isa sa mga anak ni Heth, tulad ng mga kababaihang ito, ilan sa mga anak na babae ng lupain, ano pa ang kabuluhan ng buhay ko?”
