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, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
2 I aku la oia, Eia hoi, ua elemakule au, aole hoi au i ike i kuu la e make ai:
and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
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;
Isaac said, “Listen to me. I am very old, and I do not know when I will die. So now take your bow and quiver full of arrows and go out into the countryside, and hunt for a wild animal 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.
Kill one and prepare the kind of tasty meat that I like. Then bring it to me so that after I eat it, I can give you a blessing 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.
Rebekah was listening as Isaac said that to his son, Esau. So when Esau left the tent to go to the countryside to hunt for a wild animal in order to kill it 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, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
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.
‘Go and kill some wild animal and bring it here, and prepare the meat in a tasty way, so that I may eat it, and then before I die I can give you my blessing while Yahweh is listening.’
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.
So now, my son, do what I am telling 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 [kill] two nice young goats and bring [the meat] to me. Then I will prepare some tasty food for your father, the way he likes it.
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 you can take it to your father, in order that he can eat it, and then, before he dies, he will give his blessing to you, [and not to your older brother].”
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:
But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “But my brother Esau’s skin has hair all over it, and my skin is not like that! My skin is smooth!
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 will happen if my father touches me? He will realize that I am tricking him, and as a result (I will be cursed/he will say that God will do bad things to) me, not 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, “If that happens, let the curse be on me. You do what I am telling you. Go and get the goats 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 killed two goats and brought them to his mother. Then [with the meat] his mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked.
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.
Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s clothes that were with her in the tent, 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 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 him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
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?
Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
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 son. I did what you told me to do. Sit up and eat some of the meat so that you can then 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, “My son, how is it that you were able to find and kill an animal so quickly?” Jacob replied, “Because Yahweh, whom you worship, enabled me to be successful.”
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.
Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near to me, my son, so that I can touch you and determine whether you are really my son Esau.”
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 went close to him. Isaac. Isaac touched him and said, “Your voice sounds like Jacob, but your hands feel hairy, like the hands of your older brother, 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 Jacob, [because he was blind] and because Jacob’s hands were now hairy, like those of his older brother, Esau. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.
24 Ninau mai la oia ia ia, O oe io no anei o ka'u keiki o Esau? I aku la kela, Owau no.
But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, 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.
Isaac said, “My son, bring me some of the meat that you have cooked, so that I may eat it and then give you my blessing.” So Jacob brought him some, and he ate it. Jacob also brought him some wine, and he drank it.
26 Olelo mai la kona makuakane o Isaaka ia ia, E hele mai oe a honi ia'u, e kuu keiki.
Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
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 Jacob came close to him, and his father kissed him on the cheek. Isaac smelled the clothes Jacob was wearing. They smelled like Esau’s clothes. So he said, “Truly, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh 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:
I ask that God will send down to you dew from heaven [to water your fields], and cause you to have abundant crops, good harvests of grain, and grapes for 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.
I ask that people of many nations will serve you and bow down to you. I ask that you will rule over your brothers, and that your mother’s descendants will also bow down to you. I ask that God will curse/punish those who (curse you/ask God to do bad things to you), and bless those who bless you.”
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.
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
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.
Esau cooked some tasty meat and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “My father, please sit up and eat some of the meat that I have cooked, so that you can then give me your blessing!”
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.
His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
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.
Then Isaac, realizing that it was not Esau who had come earlier, trembled very violently. He said, “Then who is it that brought me some meat from an animal that he had hunted and killed, and I ate it all? He was here just before you came. I blessed him, and I cannot (take back that blessing/declare that those things will not happen to him).”
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 those words of his father, he cried loudly. He was very disappointed. He said to his father, “My father, bless me, too!”
35 I mai la kela, Ua hele mai nei kou kaikaina me ka maalea, a ua lawe aku i kou hoomaikaiia,
But his father said, “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?
Esau said, “It is right [RHQ] that his name is Jacob, which means ‘cheat,’ because he deceived me two times. The first time he took my rights from being his firstborn son, and this time he took my blessing!” Then he asked, “Do you not have any blessing left 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?
Isaac answered and said to Esau, “I have declared that your younger brother will rule over you, and declared that all his relatives will serve him. And I have said that God will give him plenty of grain and grapes for wine. So, my son, (what can I do for you?/There is nothing more that I can do for you!)” [RHQ]
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, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
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 and said to him, “The place where you will live will be far from the fertile soil and from the dew that God sends from heaven [to water the fields].
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 will [rob and] kill people [MTY] in order to [get what you need to] live, and you will be as though you are your brother’s slave. But when you decide to rebel against him, you will (free yourself from/no longer be under) his control.”
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.
So, because his father had given a blessing to Jacob, and not to him, Esau hated his younger brother. Esau thought to himself, “After my father dies and we finish mourning for him, I will kill 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.
But Rebekah found out what her older son, Esau, was thinking. So she summoned her younger son, Jacob, and said to him, “Listen to me. Your older brother, Esau, is [comforting himself by] planning to kill you, to get revenge because of your deceiving your father.
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, listen carefully to what I am telling you. Escape quickly and go and stay with my brother Laban, in Haran [town].
44 E noho me ia i kekahi mau la, a huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la;
Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
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?
When he forgets what you did to him, I will send a message to you, to tell you to return from there. If Esau kills you, [others will kill him, and] then both my sons would die at the same time!” [RHQ]
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?
Rebekah also said to Isaac, “These [foreign] women whom Esau has married, who are descendants of Heth, are making my life miserable. I would prefer to die than to see Jacob marry a woman from the descendants of Heth in this area!”
