Forsothe Isaac wexe eld, and hise iyen dasewiden, and he miyte not se. And he clepide Esau, his more sone, and seide to hym, My sone! Which answerde, Y am present.
2 Isak yi edzi gblɔ be, “Fifia metsi, eye menya be mate ŋu aku ɣe sia ɣi tso fifia dzi.
To whom the fadir seide, Thou seest that Y haue woxun eld, and Y knowe not the dai of my deeth.
3 Tsɔ wò da kple datiwo nàyi gbe me, eye nàwu lã aɖe tsɔ gbɔe.
Take thin armeres, `arewe caas, and a bowe, and go out; and whanne thou hast take ony thing bi huntyng,
4 Ne ègbɔ la, nàɖa nu nyui si tɔgbi melɔ̃a ɖuɖu la nam. Tsɔe vɛ nam maɖu, be mayra wò, vinye ŋutsuvi gbãtɔ hafi maku.”
make to me a seew therof, as thou knowist that Y wole, and brynge that Y ete, and my soule blesse thee bifore that Y die.
5 Ke Rebeka fi nya si Isak gblɔ na via Esau la se. Ale esi Esau dzo yi adegbe be yeadi lã aɖe awu la,
And whanne Rebecca hadde herd this thing, and he hadde go in to the feeld to fille the comaundment of the fadir,
6 Rebeka yɔ via Yakob, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mese fofowò gblɔ na nɔviwò be,
sche seide to hir sone Jacob, Y herde thi fadir spekynge with Esau, thi brothir, and seiynge to him, Brynge thou me of thin huntyng,
7 ‘Di adelã nàɖa nui nam maɖu, eye mayra wò le Yehowa ŋkume hafi maku.’”
and make thow metis, that Y ete, and that Y blesse thee bifor the Lord bifor that Y die.
8 Rebeka yi edzi gblɔ be, “Vinye, ɖo tom, eye nàwɔ nu si magblɔ na wò la tututu.
Now therfor, my sone, assent to my counsels,
9 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.
and go to the floc, and brynge to me tweyne the beste kidis, that Y make metis of tho to thi fadir, whiche he etith gladli;
10 Àtsɔ nuɖuɖu la ayi na fofowò wòaɖu. Ne eɖui vɔ la, ayra wò boŋ ɖe fowò Esau teƒe hafi aku.”
and that whanne thow hast brouyt in tho metis, and he hath ete, he blesse thee bifore that he die.
11 Ke Yakob gblɔ na dadaa be, “Enyo pɛ, gake fonye Esau to fu ɖe ŋuti, ke nye la, nye ŋutigbalẽ zrɔ̃.
To whom Jacob answerde, Thou knowist that Esau my brother is an heeri man, and Y am smethe; if my fadir `touchith and feelith me,
12 Nya kae adzɔ ne fofonye ali asi ŋunye? Abu be ɖe medi be mado lã ye, eye wòaƒo fi adem le esime wòayram teƒe!”
Y drede lest he gesse that Y wolde scorne him, and lest he brynge in cursyng on me for blessyng.
13 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.”
To whom the modir seide, My sone, this cursyng be in me; oonly here thou my vois, and go, and brynge that that Y seide.
14 Ale Yakob zɔ ɖe dadaa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi. Ewu gbɔ̃awo, ko wo nyuie, eye dadaa tsɔ lã la ɖa nu si vivia Isak nu.
He yede, and brouyte, and yaf to his modir. Sche made redi metis, as sche knewe that his fadir wolde,
15 Le esia megbe la, Rebeka tsɔ Esau ƒe awu nyuitɔwo, eye wòna Yakob do wo.
and sche clothide Jacob in ful goode clothis of Esau, whiche sche hadde at home anentis hir silf.
16 Etsɔ gbɔ̃awo ƒe agbalẽwo wɔ asiwuiwo, eye wòtsɔ gbɔ̃gbalẽ la ƒe ɖe wɔ kawo tsi ɖe asiwuiawo ŋu heku kɔ na Yakob.
And sche `compasside the hondis with litle skynnys of kiddis, and kyuerede the `nakide thingis of the necke;
17 Etsɔ lã si nɔ ʋeʋẽm lĩlĩlĩ kple abolo si wome teti la nɛ.
and sche yaf seew, and bitook the loouys whiche sche hadde bake.
18 Yakob tsɔ nuɖuɖua yi na fofoa hegblɔ be, “Fofonye.” Eɖo eŋu bena, “Nyee nye si, vinye kae nye ema?”
And whanne these weren brouyt in, he seide, My fadir! And he answerde, Y here; who art thou, my sone?
19 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.”
And Jacob seide, Y am Esau, thi first gendrid sone. Y haue do to thee as thou comaundist to me; rise thou, sitte, and ete of myn huntyng, that thi soule blesse me.
20 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.”
Eft Ysaac seide to his sone, My sone, hou miytist thou fynde so soone? Which answerde, It was Goddis wille, that this that Y wolde schulde come soone to me.
21 Isak gblɔ na Yakob be, “Te ɖe ŋunye. Medi be mali asi ŋuwò, ale be maka ɖe edzi be Esau tututue!”
And Isaac seide, My sone, come thou hidir, that Y touche thee, and that Y preue wher thou art my sone Esau, ethir nay.
22 Yakob te ɖe fofoa ŋu, eye wòli asi eŋu. Isak gblɔ na eɖokui be, “Gbe la nye Yakob tɔ, gake asiawo nye Esau tɔ!”
He neiyede to the fadir; and whanne he hadde feelid hym, Isaac seide, Sotheli the vois is the vois of Jacob, but the hondis ben the hondis of Esau.
23 Isak di be yeayra Yakob, gake egabia be,
And Isaac knew not Jacob, for the heery hondis expressiden the licnesse of the more sone.
24 “Woe nye Esau nyateƒea?” Ke Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Nyee!”
Therfor Isaac blesside him, and seide, Art thou my sone Esau? Jacob answerde, Y am.
25 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.
And Isaac seide, My sone, brynge thou to me metis of thin huntyng, that my soule blesse thee. And whanne Isaac hadde ete these metis brouyt, Jacob brouyte also wyn to Isaac, and whanne this was drunkun,
26 Emegbe Isak gblɔ be, “Vinye, te ɖe ŋunye, eye nàgbugbɔ nu nam!”
Isaac seide to him, My sone, come thou hidir, and yyue to me a cos.
27 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.
Jacob neiyede, and kisside hym; and anoon as Isaac feelide the odour of hise clothis, he blesside him, and seide, Lo! the odour of my sone as the odour of a `feeld ful which the Lord hath blessid.
28 Mawu nana dziƒozãmu nadza ɖe wò nukuwo dzi ɣe sia ɣi, eye wòana bli kple wain yeye nasɔ gbɔ na wò.
God yyue to thee of the dewe of heuene, and of the fatnesse of erthe, aboundaunce of whete, and of wyn, and of oile;
29 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.”
and puplis serue thee, and lynagis worschipe thee; be thou lord of thi britheren, and the sones of thi modir be bowid bifor thee; be he cursid that cursith thee, and he that blessith thee, be fillid with blessyngis.
30 Esi Isak yra Yakob vɔ teti, eye Yakob do go le fofoa ƒe xɔ me la, Esau gbɔ tso adegbea.
Vnnethis Isaac hadde fillid the word, and whanne Jacob was gon out,
31 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!”
Esau cam, and brouyte in metis sodun of the huntyng to the fadir, and seide, My fadir, rise thou, and ete of the huntyng of thi sone, that thi soule blesse me.
32 Isak bia be, “Wò ame kae?” Esau ɖo eŋu be, “Nyee! Nye Esau, viwò ŋutsu tsitsitɔe!”
And Isaac seide, Who forsothe art thou? Which answerde, Y am Esau, thi firste gendrid sone.
33 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?”
Isaac dredde bi a greet astonying; and he wondride more, than it mai be bileued, and seide, Who therfor is he which a while ago brouyte to me huntyng takun, and Y eet of alle thingis bifor that thou camest; and Y blesside him? and he schal be blessid.
34 Esau de asi avifafa me hehehe. Egblɔ be, “Oo fofonye, yram! Yra nye hã!”
Whanne the wordis of the fadir weren herd, Esau rorid with a greet cry, and was astonyed, and seide, My fadir, blesse thou also me.
35 Isak ɖo eŋu be, “Nɔviwò va flum, eye wòxɔ wò yayra.”
Which seide, Thy brother cam prudentli, and took thi blessyng.
36 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?”
And Esau addide, Justli his name is clepid Jacob, for lo! he supplauntide me another tyme; bifor he took awei `my firste gendride thingis, and now the secounde tyme he rauyschide priueli my blessyng. And eft he seide to the fadir, Wher thou hast not reserued a blessyng also to me?
37 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.”
Ysaac answeride, Y haue maad him thi lord, and Y haue maad suget alle hise britheren to his seruage; Y haue stablischid him in whete, and wyn, and oile; and, my sone, what schal Y do to thee aftir these thingis?
38 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.
To whom Esau saide, Fadir, wher thou hast oneli o blessyng? Y biseche that also thou blesse me. And whanne Esau wepte with greet yellyng,
39 Mlɔeba la, Isak gblɔ na Esau be, “Manɔ anyigba wɔnuku aɖeke dzi o, eye zãmu hã madza na wò akpɔ o.
Isaac was stirid, and seide to hym, Thi blessyng schal be in the fatnesse of erthe, and in the dew of heuene fro aboue;
40 Wò yi anyi wò eye àsubɔ nɔviwò va se ɖe ɣeyiɣi aɖe, ke emegbe la, àva do le ete, eye nàkpɔ ablɔɖe.”
thou schalt lyue bi swerd, and thou schalt serue thi brothir, and tyme schal come whanne thou schalt shake awei, and vnbynde his yok fro thi nollis.
41 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.”
Therfor Esau hatide euer Jacob for the blessyng bi which the fadir hadde blessid hym; and Esau seide in his herte, The daies of morenyng of my fadir schulen come, and Y schal sle Jacob, my brothir.
42 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.”
These thingis weren teld to Rebecca, and sche sente, and clepide hir sone Jacob, and seide to hym, Lo! Esau, thi brothir, manaasith to sle thee;
43 Rebeka yi edzi be, “Nu si nàwɔ fifia lae nye be nàsi ayi nyruiwò Laban gbɔ le Haran.
now therfor, my sone, here thou my vois, and rise thou, and fle to Laban, my brother, in Aran;
44 Nɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime nɔviwò ƒe dɔmedzoe nu nafa,
and thou schalt dwelle with hym a fewe daies, til the woodnesse of thi brother reste,
45 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.”
and his indignacioun ceesse, and til he foryite tho thingis whiche thou hast don ayens hym. Aftirward Y schal sende, and Y schal brynge thee fro thennus hidir. Whi schal Y be maad soneles of euer eithir sone in o dai?
46 Emegbe la, Rebeka gblɔ na Isak be, “Hiti ɖetugbiwo ƒe nya tim. Malɔ̃ be maku tsɔ wu be makpɔ Yakob wòaɖe wo dometɔ ɖeka.”
And Rebecca seide to Isaac, It anoieth me of my lijf for the douytris of Heth; if Jacob takith a wijf of the kynrede of this lond, Y nyle lyue.
