Genesis 27
1 When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
Na, i a Ihaka kua koroheketia, kua atarua hoki nga kanohi, i kore ai ia e kite, ka karangatia e ia a Ehau, tana tama matamua, ka mea ki a ia, E taku tama: a ka mea ia ki a ia, Tenei ahau.
2 He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.
Na ka mea ia, Nana, kua koroheke ahau, kahore hoki ahau e mohio ki te ra e mate ai ahau:
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
Na reira mauria e koe au rakau, tau papa pere me tau kopere, ka haere ki te koraha ki te hopu kai maku;
4 Make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”
Ka taka ai i tetahi kai reka maku, hei taku i pai ai, ka mau mai ai ki ahau kia kai ahau; kia manaaki ai toku wairua i a koe i mua o toku matenga.
5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
A i rongo a Ripeka i te korerotanga a Ihaka ki a Ehau, ki tana tama. Na ko te haerenga o Ehau ki te koraha ki te hopu kai hei maunga mai mana.
6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
Na ka korero a Ripeka ki a Hakopa, ki tana tama, ka mea, Nana, kua rongo ahau i tou papa e korero ana ki a Ehau, ki tou tuakana, e mea ana,
7 ‘Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
Mauria mai tetahi kai maku, ka taka ai i tetahi kai reka maku, kia kai ahau, kia manaaki ai ahau i a koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, kei mate ahau.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
Na, whakarongo ki toku reo, e taku tama, kia rite ki taku e whakahau nei ki a koe.
9 Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savoury food for your father, such as he loves.
Haere inaianei ki te kahui, ka mau mai ki ahau i reira kia rua nga kuao papai o nga koati; a maku ena e taka hei kai reka ma tou papa, hei pera me tana e pai ai:
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
A mau e kawe ki tou papa, kia kai ia, kia manaaki ai ia i a koe kei wha mate ia.
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Ripeka, ki tona whaea, Na ko Ehau, ko toku tuakana, he tangata puhuruhuru, ko ahau ia he kiri maheni:
12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”
Tera pea toku papa e whawha i ahau, a ki tana ka rite ahau ki te tangata tinihanga: a he kanga te mea e riro mai i ahau, kahore he manaaki.
13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
Na ko te meatanga a tona whaea ki a ia, Hei runga i ahau tou kanga, e taku tama: whakarongo mai ia ki toku reo, haere, tikina aua mea ki ahau.
14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
Na ka haere ia, ka tikina, ka mauria mai ki tona whaea: a ka taka e tona whaea he kai reka, he pera me ta tona papa i pai ai.
15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
Na ka tikina e Ripeka nga kakahu papai o Ehau, o tana tama o mua, i a ia hoki aua mea i roto i te whare; a whakakakahuria ana e ia ki a Hakopa, ki tana tama o muri:
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
A ka whakapiritia e ia nga hiako o nga kuao koati ki ona ringa, ki te wahi maeneene hoki o tona ka kai:
17 She gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Na ka hoatu e ia te kai reka me te taro i hanga e ia ki te ringa o Hakopa, o tana tama.
18 He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
Na ka tae ia ki tona papa, ka mea, E toku matua: a ka mea a, Tenei ahau; ko wai koe, e taku ama?
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”
Na ka mea a Hakopa ki tona papa, Ko Ehau ahau, ko tau matamua: kua oti i ahau tau i ki mai ai ki ahau: na maranga ake, e noho ki te kai i te kai i hopukia nei e ahau, kia manaaki ai tou wairua i ahau.
20 Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because the LORD your God gave me success.”
A ka mea a Ihaka ki tana tama, Na te aha i hohoro ai te kitea e koe, e taku tama? Ka mea ia, Na Ihowa hoki, na tou Atua, i homai kia hohoro.
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
A ka mea a Ihaka ki a Hakopa, Nuku mai nei na, kia whawha ahau ki a koe, e taku tama, ko taku tama tonu ranei koe, ko Ehau, kahore ranei.
22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
Na ka neke atu a Hakopa ki a Ihaka, ki tona papa, a ka whawha tera i a ia, ka mea, Ko te reo, no Hakopa te reo, ko nga ringa ia, no Ehau nga ringaringa.
23 He didn’t recognise him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
A kihai ia i mohio ki a ia, no te mea he huruhuru ona ringa, i rite ki nga ringa o Ehau, o tona tuakana: na ka manaaki ia i a ia.
24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
A ka mea, Ko taku tama pu ranei koe, ko Ehau? A ka mea ia, Ko ahau tenei.
25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
Na ka mea ia, Kawea mai kia tata ki ahau, kia kai ahau i te kai i hopukia e taku tama, kia manaaki ai toku wairua i a koe. Na kawea atu ana e ia ki a ia, a ka kai ia: i mauria atu ano e ia he waina ki a ia, a inu ana ia.
26 His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
Katahi ka mea a Ihaka, tona papa, ki a ia, Nuku mai nei, ka kihi i ahau, e taku tama.
27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
Na ka neke atu ia, a ka kihi ia i a ia: a ka hongi ia i te haunga o ona kakahu, ka manaaki i a ia, ka mea, Titiro hoki, rite tahi te haunga o taku tama ki te haunga o te parae i manaakitia e Ihowa:
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
Kia homai ano e te Atua ki a koe te tomairangi o te rangi, me te momonatanga o te whenua, kia nui ano hoki te witi me te waina:
29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
Kia mahi nga iwi ki a koe, kia piko iho hoki nga tauiwi ki a koe: kia waiho koe hei rangatira mo ou teina, a kia piko iho ki a koe nga tama a tou whaea: kia kanga te tangata e kanga ana i a koe, a kia manaakitia te tangata e manaaki ana i a koe.
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
A, mutu ana te manaaki a Ihaka i a Hakopa, puta kau atu ano a Hakopa i te aroaro o Ihaka, o tona papa, na ka tae mai a Ehau, tona tuakana, i tana hopu kirehe mohoao.
31 He also made savoury food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”
Kua oti ano hoki i a ia tetahi kai reka te taka, a kawea ana ki tona papa, na ka mea ki tona papa, Kia ara ake toku papa ki te kai i te mea i hopukia mai e tana tama, kia manaaki ai tou wairua i ahau.
32 Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
Na ka mea a Ihaka, tona papa, ki a ia, Ko wai koe? A ka mea ia, ko tau tama ahau, ko Ehau, ko tau matamua.
33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
Na tino wiri rawa ana a Ihaka, a ka mea, Ha, ko wai ra tenei i hopukia nei e ia he kai, a kawea ana mai ki ahau, a kainga katoatia ana e ahau i te mea kahore ano koe i tae mai, a manaakitia ana ia e ahau? ae ra, ka manaakitia ano ia.
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
A, i te rongonga o Ehau i nga kupu a tona papa, ka tangi ia, he tangi nui, he tangi tiwerawera, a ka mea ki tona papa, Manaakitia ahau, ae ra, ahau ano hoki, e toku papa.
35 He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
A ka mea ia, I haere tinihanga mai tou teina, a riro ana tou manaaki i a ia.
36 He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”
Na ka mea ia, Ka tika ha te tapanga i a ia ko Hakopa? kua rua nei hoki oku mamingatanga e ia: ko toku matamuatanga kua riro i a ia; a inaianei kua riro toku manaaki i a ia. Ka mea ano ia, Kahore ranei i mahue atu ki a koe tetahi manaaki moku?
37 Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
Na ka whakahoki a Ihaka, ka mea ki a Ehau, Na, kua waiho ia e ahau hei rangatira mou, kua hoatu hoki ona tuakana katoa ki a ia hei apa; kua whakaukia hoki ia e ahau ki te witi, ki te waina: a he aha ra mau hei meatanga maku, e taku tama?
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Na ka mea a Ehau ki tona papa, Kotahi tonu ia tau manaaki, e toku papa? manaakitia ahau, ae ra, ahau ano hoki, e toku papa. Na nui atu te reo o Ehau ki te tangi.
39 Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
Na ka whakahoki a Ihaka, tona papa, ka mea ki a ia, Na, no te momonatanga o te whenua te nohoanga mou, no te tomairangi hoki o te rangi i runga;
40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
Ma tau hoari hoki e ora ai koe, me mahi ano koe ki tou teina; a tenei ake, kei tou kakenga hei rangatira, na ka wahia atu e koe tana ioka i tou kaki.
41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Na ka mauahara a Ehau ki a Hakopa mo te manaaki i manaakitia ai ia e tona papa; a ka mea a Ehau i roto i tona ngakau, E tata ana nga ra e uhungatia ai toku papa; ko reira ahau patu ai i toku teina, i a Hakopa.
42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
Na ka korerotia ki a Ripeka nga kupu a Ehau, a tana tama o mua: a ka tono tangata ia ki te karanga i a Hakopa, i tana tama o muri, ka mea ki a ia, Na, tenei tou tuakana, a Ehau, mo te wahi ki a koe, te whakamarie nei i a ia, te mea nei ki te pat u i a koe.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
No konei, e taku tama, whakarongo ki toku reo; whakatika, e rere ki a Rapana, ki toku tungane, ki Harana;
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
Hei a ia koe noho ai mo etahi rangi, kia tahuri atu ra ano te aritarita o tou tuakana;
45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
Kia tahuri ke atu ra ano i a koe te riri a tou tuakana, kia wareware hoki i a ia tau i mea ai ki a ia: katahi ahau ka tono tangata ki te tiki atu i a koe i reira: he aha kia tangohia atu ai korua tokorua i ahau i te rangi kotahi?
46 Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
Na ka mea a Ripeka ki a Ihaka, Kei te hoha ahau ki te ora i nga tamahine a Hete: ki te tango a Hakopa i tetahi wahine mana i roto i nga tamahine a Hete, i tetahi e penei ana me enei tamahine o te whenua nei, hei aha ake moku te ora?
