Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau, his older son, and said to him, “My son.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
Cuando Isaac envejeció, y sus ojos se oscurecieron, de modo que no podía ver, llamó a Esaú, su hijo mayor, y le dijo: “¿Hijo mío?” Le dijo: “Aquí estoy”.
2 He said, “See here, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
Él dijo: “Mira ahora, soy viejo. No sé el día de mi muerte.
3 Therefore take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Ahora, pues, por favor, toma tus armas, tu carcaj y tu arco, y sal al campo, y tráeme venado.
4 Make delicious food for me, the sort that I love, and bring it to me so I can eat it and bless you before I die.”
Prepárame una comida sabrosa, como las que me gustan, y tráemela, para que coma y mi alma te bendiga antes de morir.”
5 Now Rebekah heard it when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it back.
Rebeca escuchó cuando Isaac habló con su hijo Esaú. Esaú fue al campo a cazar venado y a traerlo.
6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son and said, “See here, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother. He said,
Rebeca habló a su hijo Jacob, diciendo: “He aquí que he oído a tu padre hablar a Esaú, tu hermano, diciendo:
7 'Bring me game and make me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of Yahweh before my death.'
‘Tráeme venado, y hazme comida sabrosa, para que yo coma, y te bendiga delante de Yahvé antes de mi muerte’.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you.
Ahora, pues, hijo mío, obedece mi voz según lo que te mando.
9 Go to the flock, and bring me two good young goats; and I will make delicious food from them for your father, just like he loves.
Ve ahora al rebaño y tráeme dos buenos cabritos de allí. Yo los haré comida sabrosa para tu padre, como a él le gusta.
10 You will take it to your father, so that he may eat it, so that he may bless you before his death.”
Se lo llevarás a tu padre para que coma y te bendiga antes de su muerte.”
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “See, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Jacob dijo a su madre Rebeca: “Mira, mi hermano Esaú es un hombre velludo, y yo soy un hombre liso.
12 Perhaps my father will touch me, and I will seem to him as a deceiver. I will bring a curse upon me and not a blessing.”
¿Y si mi padre me toca? Le pareceré un engañador, y traería una maldición sobre mí, y no una bendición”.
13 His mother said to him, “My son, let any curse fall on me. Just obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.”
Su madre le dijo: “Que tu maldición caiga sobre mí, hijo mío. Sólo obedece mi voz, y ve a buscarlos por mí”.
14 So Jacob went and got the young goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made delicious food, just like his father loved.
Fue a buscarlos y se los llevó a su madre. Su madre preparó una comida sabrosa, como la que le gustaba a su padre.
15 Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau, her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
Rebeca tomó los buenos vestidos de Esaú, su hijo mayor, que estaban con ella en la casa, y se los puso a Jacob, su hijo menor.
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Puso las pieles de los cabritos en sus manos y en la parte lisa de su cuello.
17 She put the delicious food and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
Dio la comida sabrosa y el pan que había preparado en manos de su hijo Jacob.
18 Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” He said, “Here I am; who are you, my son?”
Se acercó a su padre y le dijo: “¿Padre mío?” Dijo: “Aquí estoy. ¿Quién eres tú, hijo mío?”
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you said to me. Now sit up and eat some of my game, that you may bless me.”
Jacob dijo a su padre: “Yo soy Esaú, tu primogénito. He hecho lo que me pediste. Por favor, levántate, siéntate y come de mi venado, para que tu alma me bendiga”.
20 Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Yahweh your God brought it to me.”
Isaac dijo a su hijo: “¿Cómo es que lo has encontrado tan rápido, hijo mío?” Dijo: “Porque Yahvé, tu Dios, me dio el éxito”.
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near me, so I may touch you, my son, and learn whether you are my true son Esau or not.”
Isaac dijo a Jacob: “Por favor, acércate para que pueda sentirte, hijo mío, si realmente eres mi hijo Esaú o no”.
22 Jacob went over to Isaac his father; and Isaac touched him and said, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
Jacob se acercó a su padre Isaac. Lo palpó y dijo: “La voz es de Jacob, pero las manos son de Esaú”.
23 Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's hands, so Isaac blessed him.
No lo reconoció, porque sus manos eran peludas, como las de su hermano Esaú. Así que lo bendijo.
24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He replied, “I am.”
Le dijo: “¿Eres realmente mi hijo Esaú?” Él dijo: “Yo soy”.
25 Isaac said, “Bring the food to me, and I will eat of your game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought the food to him. Isaac ate, and Jacob brought him wine, and he drank.
Dijo: “Acércamelo, y comeré del venado de mi hijo, para que mi alma te bendiga”. Se lo acercó, y comió. Le trajo vino, y bebió.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”
Su padre Isaac le dijo: “Acércate ahora y bésame, hijo mío”.
27 Jacob came near and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his clothes and blessed him. He said, “See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed.
Se acercó y lo besó. Olió el olor de su ropa, lo bendijo y dijo, “He aquí el olor de mi hijo es como el olor de un campo que Yahvé ha bendecido.
28 May God give you a portion of the dew of heaven, a portion of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
Dios te dé del rocío del cielo, de la grosura de la tierra, y mucho grano y vino nuevo.
29 May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. Be master over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. May every one who curses you be cursed; may every one who blesses you be blessed.”
Que los pueblos te sirvan, y las naciones se inclinan ante ti. Sé el señor de tus hermanos. Que los hijos de tu madre se inclinen ante ti. Maldito sea todo aquel que te maldiga. Bendito sea todo aquel que te bendiga”.
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Cuando Isaac terminó de bendecir a Jacob, y éste acababa de salir de la presencia de su padre Isaac, su hermano Esaú llegó de su cacería.
31 He also made delicious food and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Father, get up and eat some of your son's game, so that you may bless me.”
Él también preparó comida sabrosa y se la llevó a su padre. Dijo a su padre: “Que mi padre se levante y coma de la carne de caza de su hijo, para que tu alma me bendiga”.
32 Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
Su padre Isaac le dijo: “¿Quién eres tú?” Dijo: “Soy tu hijo, tu primogénito, Esaú”.
33 Isaac trembled very much and said, “Who was it that hunted this game and brought it to me? I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him. Indeed, he will be blessed.”
Isaac se estremeció violentamente y dijo: “¿Quién es, pues, el que ha tomado carne de venado y me la ha traído, y yo he comido de todo antes de que vinieras, y lo he bendecido? Sí, será bendecido”.
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a very great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, me also, my father.”
Cuando Esaú escuchó las palabras de su padre, lloró con un grito muy grande y amargo, y dijo a su padre: “Bendíceme, a mí también, padre mío”.
35 Isaac said, “Your brother came here deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.”
Dijo: “Tu hermano vino con engaño y te ha quitado la bendición”.
36 Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and, see, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
Dijo: “¿No se llama Jacob con razón? Porque me ha suplantado estas dos veces. Me quitó la primogenitura. Mira, ahora me ha quitado la bendición”. Dijo: “¿No me has reservado una bendición?”.
37 Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Look, I have made him your master, and I have given to him all his brothers as servants, and I have given him grain and new wine. What more can I do for you, my son?”
Isaac respondió a Esaú: “He aquí que lo he hecho tu señor, y a todos sus hermanos se los he dado por servidores. Lo he mantenido con grano y vino nuevo. ¿Qué haré entonces por ti, hijo mío?”
38 Esau said to his father, “Have you not even one blessing for me, my father? Bless me, even me too, my father.” Esau wept loudly.
Esaú dijo a su padre: “¿Tienes una sola bendición, padre mío? Bendíceme a mí también, padre mío”. Esaú alzó la voz y lloró.
39 Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Look, the place where you live will be far from the richness of the earth, away from the dew of the sky above.
Isaac, su padre, le respondió, “He aquí que tu morada será de la grosura de la tierra, y del rocío del cielo desde arriba.
40 By your sword you will live, and you will serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
Vivirás con tu espada y servirás a tu hermano. Ocurrirá, cuando te liberes, que sacudirás su yugo de tu cuello”.
41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing that his father had given him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are near; after that I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Esaú odiaba a Jacob a causa de la bendición con que su padre lo había bendecido. Esaú dijo en su corazón: “Se acercan los días de luto por mi padre. Entonces mataré a mi hermano Jacob”.
42 The words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, “See, your brother Esau is consoling himself about you by planning to kill you.
Las palabras de Esaú, su hijo mayor, fueron contadas a Rebeca. Ella envió y llamó a Jacob, su hijo menor, y le dijo: “Mira, tu hermano Esaú se consuela de ti planeando matarte.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey me and flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
Ahora, pues, hijo mío, obedece mi voz. Levántate y huye a Labán, mi hermano, en Harán.
44 Stay with him for a while, until your brother's fury subsides,
Quédate con él unos días, hasta que la furia de tu hermano se aleje...
45 until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you back from there. Why should I lose you both in one day?
hasta que la ira de tu hermano se aleje de ti, y se olvide de lo que le has hecho. Entonces enviaré y te sacaré de allí. ¿Por qué he de perderos a los dos en un solo día?”
46 Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes one of the daughters of Heth as a wife, like these women, some of the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
Rebeca dijo a Isaac: “Estoy cansada de mi vida a causa de las hijas de Het. Si Jacob toma una esposa de las hijas de Het, como éstas, de las hijas de la tierra, ¿de qué me servirá mi vida?”
