Genesis 27
1 And it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, 'My son;' and he saith unto him, 'Here [am] I.'
Esi Isak tsi ku amegã belibeli, eye megate ŋu nɔ nu kpɔm tututu o la, eyɔ via tsitsitɔ Esau gbe ɖeka. Eyɔe be, “Vinye.” Esau tɔ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
2 And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
Isak yi edzi gblɔ be, “Fifia metsi, eye menya be mate ŋu aku ɣe sia ɣi tso fifia dzi.
3 and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
Tsɔ wò da kple datiwo nàyi gbe me, eye nàwu lã aɖe tsɔ gbɔe.
4 and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee before I die.'
Ne ègbɔ la, nàɖa nu nyui si tɔgbi melɔ̃a ɖuɖu la nam. Tsɔe vɛ nam maɖu, be mayra wò, vinye ŋutsuvi gbãtɔ hafi maku.”
5 And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision — to bring in;
Ke Rebeka fi nya si Isak gblɔ na via Esau la se. Ale esi Esau dzo yi adegbe be yeadi lã aɖe awu la,
6 and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, 'Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
Rebeka yɔ via Yakob, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mese fofowò gblɔ na nɔviwò be,
7 Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
‘Di adelã nàɖa nui nam maɖu, eye mayra wò le Yehowa ŋkume hafi maku.’”
8 'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:
Rebeka yi edzi gblɔ be, “Vinye, ɖo tom, eye nàwɔ nu si magblɔ na wò la tututu.
9 Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;
Yi lãhawo me, eye nàlé gbɔ̃ eve siwo metsi tututu o la vɛ nam ne matsɔ wo aɖa nu si vivia fofowò nu la nɛ.
10 and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.
Àtsɔ nuɖuɖu la ayi na fofowò wòaɖu. Ne eɖui vɔ la, ayra wò boŋ ɖe fowò Esau teƒe hafi aku.”
11 And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, 'Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I a smooth man,
Ke Yakob gblɔ na dadaa be, “Enyo pɛ, gake fonye Esau to fu ɖe ŋuti, ke nye la, nye ŋutigbalẽ zrɔ̃.
12 it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, and not a blessing;'
Nya kae adzɔ ne fofonye ali asi ŋunye? Abu be ɖe medi be mado lã ye, eye wòaƒo fi adem le esime wòayram teƒe!”
13 and his mother saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.'
Rebeka gblɔ na via be, “Vinye lɔlɔ̃a, na eƒe fiƒode nava dzinye. Wò ya wɔ nu si megblɔ na wò la. Yi nàlé gbɔ̃awo vɛ.”
14 And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath loved;
Ale Yakob zɔ ɖe dadaa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi. Ewu gbɔ̃awo, ko wo nyuie, eye dadaa tsɔ lã la ɖa nu si vivia Isak nu.
15 and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;
Le esia megbe la, Rebeka tsɔ Esau ƒe awu nyuitɔwo, eye wòna Yakob do wo.
16 and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
Etsɔ gbɔ̃awo ƒe agbalẽwo wɔ asiwuiwo, eye wòtsɔ gbɔ̃gbalẽ la ƒe ɖe wɔ kawo tsi ɖe asiwuiawo ŋu heku kɔ na Yakob.
17 and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
Etsɔ lã si nɔ ʋeʋẽm lĩlĩlĩ kple abolo si wome teti la nɛ.
18 And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, 'My father;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?'
Yakob tsɔ nuɖuɖua yi na fofoa hegblɔ be, “Fofonye.” Eɖo eŋu bena, “Nyee nye si, vinye kae nye ema?”
19 And Jacob saith unto his father, 'I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Nye Esau, viwò tsitsitɔe. Mewɔ nu si nèɖo nam be mawɔ la. Nuɖuɖu nyui si nèdi lae nye esi. Fɔ nàɖui eye nàyram.”
20 And Isaac saith unto his son, 'What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, 'That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come before me.'
Enumake Isak gblɔ be, “Vinye, aleke nèwɔ hafi wò asi ka lã kaba ale?” Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa, wò Mawu lae kpe ɖe ŋunye.”
21 And Isaac saith unto Jacob, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, my son Esau, or not.'
Isak gblɔ na Yakob be, “Te ɖe ŋunye. Medi be mali asi ŋuwò, ale be maka ɖe edzi be Esau tututue!”
22 And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, 'The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.'
Yakob te ɖe fofoa ŋu, eye wòli asi eŋu. Isak gblɔ na eɖokui be, “Gbe la nye Yakob tɔ, gake asiawo nye Esau tɔ!”
23 And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,
Isak di be yeayra Yakob, gake egabia be,
24 and saith, 'Thou art he — my son Esau?' and he saith, 'I [am].'
“Woe nye Esau nyateƒea?” Ke Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Nyee!”
25 And he saith, 'Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son's provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;' and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.
Isak gblɔ be, “Vinye, ekema tsɔ nuɖuɖu la vɛ nam. Ne meɖui vɔ la, ekema mayra wò.” Yakob tsɔ nuɖuɖu la na fofoa wòɖu, eye wòno wain si Yakob tsɔ kpe ɖe nuɖuɖua ŋu la.
26 And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and kiss me, my son;'
Emegbe Isak gblɔ be, “Vinye, te ɖe ŋunye, eye nàgbugbɔ nu nam!”
27 and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, 'See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath blessed;
Yakob te ɖe fofoa ŋu, eye wògbugbɔ eƒe alɔgo. Ʋeʋẽ si Isak se le awu siwo Yakob do me la na wòbu be Esaue. Eyrae hegblɔ be, “Ehɛ̃, Vinye ƒe ʋeʋẽ sɔ kple ʋeʋẽ nyui si dona tso anyigba kple agble si Yehowa yra la ene.
28 and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine;
Mawu nana dziƒozãmu nadza ɖe wò nukuwo dzi ɣe sia ɣi, eye wòana bli kple wain yeye nasɔ gbɔ na wò.
29 peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.'
Dukɔ geɖewo nazu kluviwo na wò. Àzu aƒetɔ ɖe nɔviwòwo dzi. Wò ƒometɔwo katã nade ta agu na wò. Woaƒo fi ade ame sia ame si aƒo fi de wò la, ke woayra ame sia ame si ayra wò la.”
30 And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come in from his hunting;
Esi Isak yra Yakob vɔ teti, eye Yakob do go le fofoa ƒe xɔ me la, Esau gbɔ tso adegbea.
31 and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, 'Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
Eya hã ɖa nu si fofoa lɔ̃a ɖuɖu la, eye wòtsɔe yi nɛ. Esau gblɔ be, “Fofonye, metsɔ nuɖuɖu la vɛ na wò. Fɔ nàɖu nua, eye nàyram!”
32 And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Who [art] thou?' and he saith, 'I [am] thy son, thy first-born, Esau;'
Isak bia be, “Wò ame kae?” Esau ɖo eŋu be, “Nyee! Nye Esau, viwò ŋutsu tsitsitɔe!”
33 and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, 'Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? — yea, blessed is he.'
Isak de asi ƒoƒo me kpakpakpa. Egblɔ be, “Ekema ame kae tsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ nam fifi laa meɖu, eye meyrae kple yayra si womagate ŋu aɖe ɖa o la?”
34 When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, 'Bless me, me also, O my father;'
Esau de asi avifafa me hehehe. Egblɔ be, “Oo fofonye, yram! Yra nye hã!”
35 and he saith, 'Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy blessing.'
Isak ɖo eŋu be, “Nɔviwò va flum, eye wòxɔ wò yayra.”
36 And he saith, 'Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he saith also, 'Hast thou not kept back a blessing for me?'
Esau gblɔ kple vevesese be, “Nu sia tututu tae woyɔe be Yakob si gɔmee nye ‘Amebala’ ɖo. Exɔ nye ŋgɔgbevinyenye le asinye, eye wògafi nye yayra hã. Oo, fofonye, yayra aɖeke megale asiwò nànam oa?”
37 And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, 'Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, my son?'
Isak ɖo eŋu gblɔ be, “Mewɔe wòzu aƒetɔ ɖe dziwò, metsɔ nɔviawo katã wɔ eƒe dɔlawoe, eye metsɔ bli kple wain hã nɛ. Nu kae gali matsɔ ana wò.”
38 And Esau saith unto his father, 'One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
Esau xɔ nya la dzi gblɔ na fofoa be, “Yayra aɖeke mesusɔ nàtsɔ nam oa? Oo, fofonye yra nye hã!” Esau gade asi avifafa me, ke fofoa meke nu o.
39 And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, 'Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above;
Mlɔeba la, Isak gblɔ na Esau be, “Manɔ anyigba wɔnuku aɖeke dzi o, eye zãmu hã madza na wò akpɔ o.
40 and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy neck.'
Wò yi anyi wò eye àsubɔ nɔviwò va se ɖe ɣeyiɣi aɖe, ke emegbe la, àva do le ete, eye nàkpɔ ablɔɖe.”
41 And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, 'The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.'
Ale Esau lé fu nɔvia Yakob ɖe eƒe yayra si fofoa tsɔ nɛ la ta. Egblɔ na eɖokui be, “Esusɔ vie fofonye naku, ekema mawu Yakob.”
42 And the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, 'Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee — to slay thee;
Ke ame aɖe va nya nu tso Esau ƒe tameɖoɖo ŋu, eye wòɖo afɔ afɔta na Rebeka. Eya ta Rebeka yɔ Yakob, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Esau le nugbe ɖom ɖe wò agbe ŋuti.”
43 and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,
Rebeka yi edzi be, “Nu si nàwɔ fifia lae nye be nàsi ayi nyruiwò Laban gbɔ le Haran.
44 and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,
Nɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime nɔviwò ƒe dɔmedzoe nu nafa,
45 till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same day?'
eye wòaŋlɔ nu si nèwɔ ɖe eŋu la be. Ekema maɖo du ɖe wò, elabena manyo be mi ame evea siaa miabu ɖem gbe ɖeka o.”
46 And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, 'I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these — from the daughters of the land — why do I live?'
Emegbe la, Rebeka gblɔ na Isak be, “Hiti ɖetugbiwo ƒe nya tim. Malɔ̃ be maku tsɔ wu be makpɔ Yakob wòaɖe wo dometɔ ɖeka.”
