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.'
Mgbe Aịzik ghọrọ agadi, nʼoge anya ya na-adịghị ahụzi ụzọ nke ọma, ọ kpọrọ Ịsọ ọkpara ya, sị ya, “Nwa m nwoke.” Ọ zara sị, “Lee m nʼebe a.”
2 And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
Aịzik gwara ya sị, “Ugbu a, emeela m agadi, amakwaghị m ụbọchị ọnwụ m.
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,
Ya mere, were ihe ịchụ nta gị, ụta gị na àkụ gị, gaa nʼọhịa, gbutere m anụ.
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.'
Siere m nri ụtọ otu ahụ o si amasị m, butere m ya ka m rie, ka mụ onwe m gọzie gị tupu m nwụọ.”
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;
Ma Ribeka nọ na-ege ntị mgbe Aịzik na-agwa nwa ya Ịsọ okwu. Nke mere na mgbe Ịsọ gawara nʼọhịa ịchụ nta,
6 and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, 'Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
Ribeka gwara Jekọb nwa ya okwu sị ya, “Lee, anụrụ m ka nna gị na-agwa nwanne gị Ịsọ okwu sị ya,
7 Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
‘Gaa nʼọhịa gbute anụ, siere m nri ụtọ, ka m nọdụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nye gị ngọzị ikpeazụ tupu m nwụọ.’
8 'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:
Ugbu a, nwa m nwoke, gee ntị nke ọma, mee ihe niile m gwara gị.
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;
Gaa ugbu a nʼigwe anụ ụlọ wetara m ụmụ nwa ewu abụọ dị mma ka m jiri ha siere nna gị nri dị ụtọ, ụdị ahụ na-amasị ya.
10 and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.
Ị ga-eburu ya bujere nna gị ka o rie, ka ya onwe ya gọzie gị tupu ọ nwụọ.”
11 And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, 'Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I a smooth man,
Ma Jekọb gwara Ribeka nne ya okwu sị ya, “Nwanne m nwoke Ịsọ bụ onye gbara ajị. Ahụ nke m na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ.
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;'
Gịnị ga-eme ma nna m metụ m aka nʼahụ? Nʼihi ya, aga m abụ onye na-aghọ ya aghụghọ, aga m esi otu a wetara onwe m ịbụ ọnụ kama ngọzị.”
13 and his mother saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.'
Nne ya gwara ya sị, “Nwa m nwoke ka ọbụbụ ọnụ gị dakwasị m. Naanị mee ihe m kwuru. Gaa wetara m ha.”
14 And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath loved;
Ya mere, ọ gara weta ha nye nne ya. O ji ha sie nri dị ụtọ, ụdị nke na-amasị nna ya.
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;
Emesịa, Ribeka chịpụtara uwe Ịsọ ọkpara ya, ndị dị mma, ndị ọ debere nʼụlọ ya, nye ya nwa ya nta bụ Jekọb.
16 and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
O jikwa akpụkpọ anụ ụmụ ewu nwere ajị ajị kee Jekọb nʼaka na nʼakụkụ olu ya na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ.
17 and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
O bunyere nwa ya nwoke Jekọb nri ahụ na-atọ ụtọ, na achịcha o mere.
18 And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, 'My father;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?'
O jekwuuru nna ya sị ya, “Nna m.” Ọ zara sị, “Ahaa, nwa m, onye ka ị bụ?”
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.'
Jekọb zara nna ya sị ya, “Abụ m Ịsọ, ọkpara gị. Emeela m ihe ị sị m mee. Biko bilie ka i rie anụ m gbutere nʼọhịa, ka gị onwe gị gọzie m.”
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.'
Ma Aịzik jụrụ nwa ya nwoke sị, “Olee otu i si chọta ya ngwangwa, nwa m?” Jekọb zara ya sị, “Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere ka ihe gaara m nke ọma.”
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.'
Mgbe ahụ Aịzik gwara Jekọb sị, “Bịa nso ka m metụ gị aka nwa m nwoke, ka m mata ma ị bụ Ịsọ nʼeziokwu.”
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.'
Jekọb jere nna ya Aịzik nso, onye metụrụ ya aka kwuo sị, “Olu bụ olu Jekọb ma aka gị bụ aka Ịsọ.”
23 And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,
Ọ chọpụtaghị na ọ bụ Jekọb, nʼihi na aka ya dị ajị ajị dịka nke Ịsọ. Ya mere, ọ gọziri ya.
24 and saith, 'Thou art he — my son Esau?' and he saith, 'I [am].'
Ma ọ jụkwara ya ajụjụ ọzọ sị ya, “Ị bụ nwa m nwoke Ịsọ nʼeziokwu?” Jekọb zara sị ya, “E, abụ m ya.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Aịzik zara sị ya, “Butere m ụfọdụ nʼime anụ ahụ i gbutere ka m rie, nye gị ngọzị m.” Jekọb butere ya bunye ya. O riri ya.
26 And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and kiss me, my son;'
Mgbe ahụ, nna ya Aịzik sịrị ya, “Bịa nʼebe a nwa m nwoke, sutu m ọnụ.”
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;
Ya mere, o jekwuuru ya sutu ya ọnụ. Mgbe Aịzik nụrụ isisi uwe ya, ọ gọziri ya, sị, “Nʼezie, isisi nwa m nwoke dịka isisi ala ubi nke Onyenwe anyị gọziri.
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;
Ka Chineke nye gị site nʼigirigi nke eluigwe, na mmanụ nke ala, ụba nke mkpụrụ ubi na mmanya ọhụrụ
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.'
Ka ọtụtụ mba jeere gị ozi, ka ndị mmadụ kpọọ isiala nye gị. Bụrụ onye ọchịchị nʼebe ụmụnna gị nọ, ka ụmụ nne gị mụrụ kpọọ isiala nye gị. Ka ndị niile na-abụ gị ọnụ bụrụ ndị a bụrụ ọnụ, ka ndị na-agọzi gị bụrụ ndị a gọziri agọzi.”
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;
Mgbe Aịzik gọzichara Jekọb, ka Jekọb si nʼihu ya na-apụ, lee Ịsọ ka o si ịchụ nta na-alọbata.
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.'
Ya onwe ya sikwara nri na-atọ ụtọ butere nna ya. Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara ya sị, “Ka nna m, bilie, rie anụ nwa ya si nʼọhịa gbute, ka gị onwe gị nye m ngọzị gị.”
32 And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Who [art] thou?' and he saith, 'I [am] thy son, thy first-born, Esau;'
Aịzik zara sị ya, “Ị bụ onye?” Ọ zara sị, “Abụ m nwa gị nwoke Ịsọ, ọkpara gị Ịsọ.”
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.'
Oke ahụ ọma jijiji mara Aịzik, ọ sị, “Onye kwanụ bụ onye ahụ gara gbute anụ butere m ya? Eriri m ya tupu ị bata. Agọziri m ya. Nʼezie, onye a gọziri agọzi ka ọ ga-abụ.”
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;'
Mgbe Ịsọ nụrụ okwu ndị a si nʼọnụ nna ya, o jiri oke olu kwaa akwa nke obi ilu gwa nna ya sị ya, “Gọzie m, mụ onwe m, nna m.”
35 and he saith, 'Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy blessing.'
Ma ọ zara sị ya, “Nwanne gị ejirila ụzọ aghụghọ bịa nara ngọzị gị.”
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?'
Ịsọ kwuru sị, “E meziri kpọọ ya Jekọb, onye aghụghọ. Lee, ọ ghọgbuola m ugboro abụọ. Nke mbụ, ọ naara m ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara m, ugbu a ọ narakwala m ngọzị m.” Ọ jụrụ ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ na i nweghị ngọzị ọ bụla fọdụrụ nke ị ga-agọzi m?”
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?'
Aịzik zara sị ya, “Emeela m ya ka ọ bụrụ onyeisi nʼebe ị nọ, mee ụmụnna ya niile ndị na-ejere ya ozi. Enyela m ya mkpụrụ ubi niile na mmanya ọhụrụ. Gịnị ọzọ ka m nwere ike imere gị, nwa m nwoke?”
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.
Ịsọ jụrụ nna ya sị, “Nna m, ọ bụ naanị otu ngọzị ka i nwere? Gọziekwa m nna m!” Ịsọ kwara akwa nʼoke olu.
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;
Nna ya Aịzik zara sị ya, “Ebe obibi gị ga-adịpụ adịpụ, site nʼebe akụnụba nke ala dị, site nʼebe igirigi nke eluigwe dị.
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.'
Nriju afọ gị ga-abụ site na mma agha, ị ga-ejekwara nwanne gị ozi. Ma mgbe i mesịrị nwere onwe gị, ị ga-atọpụ agbụ ya, site nʼolu gị.”
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.'
Ịsọ buru iro nʼobi megide Jekọb nʼihi ngọzị ahụ nna ya nyere ya. O kwuru nʼime onwe ya sị, “Oge a ga-eru ụjụ nʼihi nna m na-abịa nso, nʼoge ahụ aga m egbu nwanne m Jekọb.”
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;
Mgbe a gwara Ribeka ihe nwa ya nwoke nke okenye bụ Ịsọ kwuru, o ziri kpọọ nwa ya nwoke nke nta bụ Jekọb sị ya, “Lee, Ịsọ nwanne gị na-akasị onwe ya obi site nʼechiche ọ na-eche igbu gị.
43 and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,
Nʼihi nke a, nwa m nwoke, mee ihe m gwara gị, gbapụ ọsọ ngwangwa, gbakwuru nwanne m Leban na Haran,
44 and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,
Nọdụ nʼebe ahụ ruo mgbe iwe nwanne gị ga-adajụ.
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?'
Mgbe nwanne gị kwụsịrị iwe iwe megide gị, mgbe o chefuru ihe i mere ya, aga m ezitere gị ozi ka ị lọta. Nʼihi gịnị ka m ga-eji gbara aka unu abụọ nʼotu ụbọchị.”
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?'
Mgbe ahụ Ribeka gara gwa Aịzik sị, “Ike ịdị ndụ agwụla m nʼihi ndị inyom Het ndị a. Ọ bụrụ na Jekọb esite nʼetiti ndị inyom ala a, site nʼetiti ndị inyom Het ndị a lụọ nwunye, mara na ọnwụ ga-akara m ịdị ndụ mma.”
