Kinohi 27
1 I KO Isaaka manawa i elemakule ai, a powehiwehi ai kona mau maka, a hiki ole ia ia ke ike aku; hea aku la oia ia Esau i kana keiki mua, i aku la ia ia, E kuu keiki: i mai la kela, Eia wau.
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” Esau replied.
2 I aku la oia, Eia hoi, ua elemakule au, aole hoi au i ike i kuu la e make ai:
“Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 Ano hoi, e lawe oe i kau mau mea pana, i kau aapua a me kau kakaka, e hele aku oe i ka nahelehele e imi i kahi io na'u;
Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
4 A e hana oe i mea ono na'u i ka mea hoi a'u i ono ai, a e lawe mai oe i o'u nei, i paina au, a i hoomaikai aku kuu uhane ia oe mamua o kuu make ana.
Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
5 Lohe ae la o Rebeka i ka wa a Isaaka i olelo aku ai ia Esau i kana keiki A hele aku o Esau i ka nahelehele e imi aku a e lawe mai i ka io o ka holoholona hihiu.
Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
6 Olelo aku la o Rebeka ia Iakoba i kana keiki, i aku la, Aia hoi, ua lohe iho nei au i kou makuakane e olelo ana i kou kaikuaana ia Esau, i ka i ana ae,
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7 E lawe mai oe io'u nei i io holoholona hihiu, a e hana i ka mea ono na'u, i paina au, a i hoomaikai hoi au ia oe imua o Iehova mamua o kuu make ana.
‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
8 Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe i ko'u leo, ma ka mea a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe.
Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
9 E hele koke aku oe i ka poe holoholona, a e lawe mai i na keiki kao maikai i elua; a na'u no e hana i ka mea ono na kou makuakane, i kana mea i ono ai:
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
10 A e halihali aku oe ia mea i kou makuakane, i ai iho ia, a i hoomaikai mai oia ia oe mamua o kona make ana.
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Olelo mai la o Iakoba ia Rebeka i kona makuwahine, Aia hoi, he kanaka huluhulu o Esau kuu kai kuaana, a he kanaka pahee no wau:
Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
12 A e hana mai paha kuu makuakane ia'u, a e ikea auanei au e ia he mea hoopunipuni; a e hooili mai au i ka hoinoia maluna iho o'u, aole ka hoomaikaiia,
What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
13 I aku la kona makuwahine ia ia, Maluna iho o'u kou hoinoia, e kuu keiki; e hoolohe wale mai oe i ko'u leo, e kii aku, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
14 Kii aku la ia, a lawe mai la ia mau mea i kona makuwahine: a na kona makuwahine i hana i ka mea ono, a kona makuakane i ono ai.
So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
15 Lawe ae la o Rebeka i ka aahu maikai o kana keiki mua o Esau, i ka mea e waiho ana iloko o ka hale me ia, a hoaahu iho la ia Iakoba i kana keiki muli iho ia mea.
And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
16 A hoopili aku la o Rebeka i na ili o na keiki kao maluna o kona mau lima, a me ka pahee o kona a-i.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 Haawi aku la ia i ka mea ono, a me ka berena ana i hoomakaukau ai, iloko o ka lima o Iakoba o kana keiki.
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
18 A hele aku la ia i kona makuakane, i aku la, E kuu makuakane: i mai la kela, Eia no wau; owai la oe, e kuu keiki?
So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
19 I aku la o Iakoba i kona makuakane, Owau no o Esau, o kau makahiapo; ua hana iho nei au i kau mea i kauoha mai ai; ke noi aku nei au, e ala mai oe, e noho a e ai iho i ka'u io o ka mea hihiu, i hoomaikai mai kou uhane ia'u.
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”
20 I mai la o Isaaka i kana keiki, Pehea ka emoole o ka loaa ana o ia mea ia oe, e kuu keiki? I aku la kela, No ka mea, na Iehova na kou Akua i hoohalawai ia mea me au.
But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
21 I mai la o Isaaka ia Iakoba, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e neenee mai a kokoke, i hana aku au ia oe, e kuu keiki, i ike au o ka'u keiki o Esau paha oe, aole paha.
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
22 Neenee aku la o Iakoba io Isaaka la i kona makuakane: a hana mai la oia ia ia, i mai la, O ka leo, ka leo no o Iakoba, aka, o na lima, na lima no o Esau.
So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Aole no i ikea oia, no ka mea, ua huluhulu kona mau lima, e like me na lima o kona kaikuaana, o Esau: a hoomaikai mai oia ia ia.
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
24 Ninau mai la oia ia ia, O oe io no anei o ka'u keiki o Esau? I aku la kela, Owau no.
Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
25 I mai la oia, E lawe mai ia mea a kokoke ia'u, a e ai iho no wau i ka io mea hihiu a kuu keiki, i hoomaikai aku kuu uhane ia oe, Lawe aku la o Iakoba a kokoke, a ai iho la kela: lawe aku la hoi oia i ka waina, a inu iho la kela.
“Serve me,” said Isaac, “and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Olelo mai la kona makuakane o Isaaka ia ia, E hele mai oe a honi ia'u, e kuu keiki.
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
27 Hele aku la o Iakoba, a honi ae la ia ia: honi iho la o Isaaka i ke ala o kona aahu, hoomaikai mai la ia ia, i mai la, Aia, o ke ala o kuu keiki, ua like me ke ala o ka mahinaai a Iehova i hoomaikai ai:
So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
28 E haawi mai ke Akua ia oe i ka hau no ka lani mai, me ka momona o ka honua, a me ka palaoa a me ka waina he nui:
May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
29 E hookauwa mai na kanaka nau, a e moe iho na lahuikanaka imua ou, o lilo oe i haku maluna o kou poe hoahanau, a e moe iho na keiki o kou makuwahine imua ou: e hoinoia'ku na mea a pau e hoino mai ia oe, a e hoopomaikaiia'ku ka mea hoomaikai ia oe.
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
30 A oki ae la ka hoomaikai ana mai a Isaaka ia Iakoba, aneane hoi ole mai o Iakoba mai ke alo mai o Isaaka o kona makuakane, puka mai la hoi o Esau o kona kaikuaana mai kona imi mea hihiu ana.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
31 Hana no hoi oia i ka mea ono, a lawe mai hoi ia mea i kona makuakane, i aku la ia i kona makuakane, E ala mai oe, e kuu makuakane, a e ai iho i ka io mea hihia a kana keiki, i hoomaikai mai kou uhane ia'u.
He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32 Ninau mai la o Isaaka o kona makuakane ia ia, Owai oe? I aku la kela, Owau no o kau keiki, o kau makahiapo, o Esau.
But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
33 Haalulu nui loa iho la o Isaaka, i mai la, Owai? auhea hoi ka mea i kii i ka io mea hihiu, a i lawe mai hoi io'u nei, a ua ai iho nei au a pau, mamua o kou hiki ana mai, a ua hoomaikai au ia ia? Oiaio, oia ke hoomaikaiia.
Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”
34 A lohe ae la o Esau i ka olelo a kona makuakane, uwe iho la ia me ka uwe nui loa, i aku la ia i kona makuakane, E hoomaikai mai ia'u, ia'u hoi, e kuu makuakane,
When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”
35 I mai la kela, Ua hele mai nei kou kaikaina me ka maalea, a ua lawe aku i kou hoomaikaiia,
But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36 I aku la oia, Aole anei i pono ke kapa ana ia ia o Iakoba? no ka mea, eia ka lua o kona kaili ana i ko'u pono: kaili aku la oia i ko ka hanaumua pono o'u; eia hoi, ano, ua kaili ae la oia i ko'u hoomaikaiia. I aku la hoi o Esau, Aole anei oe i malama no'u kekahi hoomaikai ana?
So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
37 Olelo mai la o Isaaka ia Esau, Aia hoi, ua hoolilo aku au ia ia i haku nou, a ua haawi aku no wau i kona poe hoahanau a pau i poe kauwa nana; ua malama aku hoi au ia ia i ka palaoa a me ka waina: a heaha ka'u e hana aku ai nau, e kuu keiki?
But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”
38 I aku la o Esau i kona makuakane, Hookahi wale no anei au hoomaikai ana, e kuu makuakane? e hoomaikai mai oe ia'u hoi, e kuu makuakane. Hookiekie ae la o Esau i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
39 Olelo mai la o Isaaka, kona makuakane, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ma ka aina momona kou noho ana, a ma kahi o ka hau o ka lani mai luna iho.
His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.
40 I kau pahikaua e ola auanei oe, a e hookauwa aku oe na kou kaikaina: a i ka manawa e loaa'i ia oe ke alii ana, alaila e haihai iho oe i kana anamo ma kou a-i.
You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
41 Inaina aku la o Esau ia Iakoba, no ka hoomaikai ana a kona makuakane i hoomaikai aku ai ia ia: i iho la o Esau iloko o kona naau, Ua kokoke mai na la e kanikau ai i kuu makuakane; alaila au e pepehi ai i kuu kaikaina ia Iakoba.
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Ua haiia'ku keia olelo ana a Esau ia Rebeka: hoouna aku la ia e hea ia Iakoba i kana keiki muli iho, i aku la ia ia, Aia hoi, o kou kaikuaana o Esau, e hooluolu ana oia ia ia iho nou, e pepehi iho ia oe.
When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.
43 Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe i kuu lee; e ku ae oe, e holo aku io Labana la, i kuu kaikunane ma Harana:
So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 E noho me ia i kekahi mau la, a huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la;
Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
45 A huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la, a poina ia ia kau mea i hana aku ai ia ia: alaila e hoouna aku no wau e hoihoi mai ia oe: no ke aha la e hooneleia mai au ia olua a elua i ka la hookahi?
until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 Olelo aku la o Rebeka ia Isaaka, Ua pauaho no wau i kuu ola ana, no na kaikamahine a ka Heta: ina e lawe o Iakoba i kekahi kaikamahine a ka Heta i wahine nana, e like me na kaikamahine o ka aina, pehea la wau e pono ai i kuu ola aua?
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
