1 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.”
And it came to passe that Isaac wexed olde and his eyes were dymme so that he coude nat see. Tha called he Esau his eldest sonne and sayde vnto him: mi sonne. And he sayde vnto hym: heare am I.
2 Aịzik gwara ya sị, “Ugbu a, emeela m agadi, amakwaghị m ụbọchị ọnwụ m.
And he sayde: beholde I am olde ad knowe not the daye of mi deth:
3 Ya mere, were ihe ịchụ nta gị, ụta gị na àkụ gị, gaa nʼọhịa, gbutere m anụ.
Now therfore take thi weapes thy quiver and thi bowe and gett the to the feldes and take me some venyson
4 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.”
and make me meate such as I loue and brynge it me and let me eat that my soull may blesse the before that I dye:
5 Ma Ribeka nọ na-ege ntị mgbe Aịzik na-agwa nwa ya Ịsọ okwu. Nke mere na mgbe Ịsọ gawara nʼọhịa ịchụ nta,
But Rebecca hard whe Isaac spake to Esau his sonne. And as soone as Esau was gone to the felde to catche venyson and to brige it
6 Ribeka gwara Jekọb nwa ya okwu sị ya, “Lee, anụrụ m ka nna gị na-agwa nwanne gị Ịsọ okwu sị ya,
she spake vnto Iacob hir sonne sainge? Behold I haue herde thi father talkinge with Esau thy brother and saynge:
7 ‘Gaa nʼọhịa gbute anụ, siere m nri ụtọ, ka m nọdụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nye gị ngọzị ikpeazụ tupu m nwụọ.’
bringe me venyson and make me meate that I maye eate and blesse the before the LORde yer I dye.
8 Ugbu a, nwa m nwoke, gee ntị nke ọma, mee ihe niile m gwara gị.
Now therfore my sonne heare my voyce in that which I comaunde the:
9 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.
gett the to the flocke and bringe me thece. ij. good kiddes and I will make meate of the for thi father soch as he loueth.
10 Ị ga-eburu ya bujere nna gị ka o rie, ka ya onwe ya gọzie gị tupu ọ nwụọ.”
And thou shalt brige it to thi father and he shal eate yt he maye blysse the before his deth
11 Ma Jekọb gwara Ribeka nne ya okwu sị ya, “Nwanne m nwoke Ịsọ bụ onye gbara ajị. Ahụ nke m na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ.
Than sayde Iacob to Rebecca his mother. Beholde Esau mi brother is rugh and I am smooth.
12 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.”
Mi father shal peradueture fele me ad I shal seme vnto hi as though I wet aboute to begyle hi and so shall he brige a curse vpo me and not a blessige:
13 Nne ya gwara ya sị, “Nwa m nwoke ka ọbụbụ ọnụ gị dakwasị m. Naanị mee ihe m kwuru. Gaa wetara m ha.”
and his mother saide vnto him. Vppo me be thi curse my sonne only heare my voyce and goo and fetch me them.
14 Ya mere, ọ gara weta ha nye nne ya. O ji ha sie nri dị ụtọ, ụdị nke na-amasị nna ya.
And Iacob went ad fett them and brought them to his mother. And his mother made meate of them accordinge as his father loued
15 Emesịa, Ribeka chịpụtara uwe Ịsọ ọkpara ya, ndị dị mma, ndị ọ debere nʼụlọ ya, nye ya nwa ya nta bụ Jekọb.
And she went and fett goodly rayment of hir eldest sonne Esau which she had in the house with hir and put them vpon Iacob hir yongest sonne
16 O jikwa akpụkpọ anụ ụmụ ewu nwere ajị ajị kee Jekọb nʼaka na nʼakụkụ olu ya na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ.
ad she put the skynnes vpon his hades and apon the smooth of his necke.
17 O bunyere nwa ya nwoke Jekọb nri ahụ na-atọ ụtọ, na achịcha o mere.
And she put ye meate and brede which she had made in the hode of hir sonne Iacob
18 O jekwuuru nna ya sị ya, “Nna m.” Ọ zara sị, “Ahaa, nwa m, onye ka ị bụ?”
And he went in to his father saynge: my father And he aswered: here am I who art thou my sonne?
19 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.”
And Iacob sayde vnto his father: I am Esau thy eldest sonne I haue done acordinge as thou baddest me vp and sytt and eate of my venyson that thi soule maye blesse me.
20 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.”
But Isaac sayde vnto his sonne. How cometh it that thou hast fownde it so quicly my sonne? He answered: The LORde thy god brought it to my hande.
21 Mgbe ahụ Aịzik gwara Jekọb sị, “Bịa nso ka m metụ gị aka nwa m nwoke, ka m mata ma ị bụ Ịsọ nʼeziokwu.”
Than sayde Isaac vnto Iacob: come nere and let me fele the my sonne whether thou be my sonne Esau or not.
22 Jekọb jere nna ya Aịzik nso, onye metụrụ ya aka kwuo sị, “Olu bụ olu Jekọb ma aka gị bụ aka Ịsọ.”
Than went Iacob to Isaac his father and he felt him and sayde the voyce is Iacobs voyce but the hades ar ye hades of Esau.
23 Ọ chọpụtaghị na ọ bụ Jekọb, nʼihi na aka ya dị ajị ajị dịka nke Ịsọ. Ya mere, ọ gọziri ya.
And he knewe him not because his handes were rough as his brother Esaus handes: And so he blessed him.
24 Ma ọ jụkwara ya ajụjụ ọzọ sị ya, “Ị bụ nwa m nwoke Ịsọ nʼeziokwu?” Jekọb zara sị ya, “E, abụ m ya.”
And he axed him art thou my sonne Esau? And he sayde: that I am.
25 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.
Than sayde he: brynge me and let me eate of my sonnes venyson that my soule maye blesse the. And he broughte him and he ate. And he broughte him wyne also and he dranke.
26 Mgbe ahụ, nna ya Aịzik sịrị ya, “Bịa nʼebe a nwa m nwoke, sutu m ọnụ.”
And his father Isaac sayde vnto him: come nere and kysse me my sonne.
27 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.
And he wet to him and kissed him. And he smelled ye sauoure of his raymet and blessed hi and sayde See ye smell of my sone is as ye smell of a feld which the lorde hath blessed.
28 Ka Chineke nye gị site nʼigirigi nke eluigwe, na mmanụ nke ala, ụba nke mkpụrụ ubi na mmanya ọhụrụ
God geue the of ye dewe of heave and of the fatnesse of the erth and pletie of corne and wyne.
29 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.”
People be thy servauntes and natios bowe vnto the. Be lorde ouer thy brethre and thy mothers children stoupe vnto the. Cursed be he yt curseth the and lessed be he that blesseth the.
30 Mgbe Aịzik gọzichara Jekọb, ka Jekọb si nʼihu ya na-apụ, lee Ịsọ ka o si ịchụ nta na-alọbata.
As soone as Isaac had made an end of blessig Iacob and Iacob was scace gone out fro the preasence of Isaac his father: then came Esau his brother fro his huntynge:
31 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.”
And had made also meate and brought it in vnto his father and sayde vnto him: Aryse my father and eate of thy sonnes venyson that thy soule maye blesse me.
32 Aịzik zara sị ya, “Ị bụ onye?” Ọ zara sị, “Abụ m nwa gị nwoke Ịsọ, ọkpara gị Ịsọ.”
Tha his father Isaac sayde vnto him. Who art thou? he answered I am thy eldest sonne Esau.
33 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.”
And Isaac was greatly astoyned out of mesure and sayde: Where is he then that hath huted venyson and broughte it me and I haue eaten of all before thou camest and haue blessed him ad he shall be blessed styll.
34 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.”
Whe Esau herde the wordes of his father he cryed out greatly and bitterly aboue mesure and sayde vnto his father: blesse me also my father.
35 Ma ọ zara sị ya, “Nwanne gị ejirila ụzọ aghụghọ bịa nara ngọzị gị.”
And he sayde thy brother came with subtilte ad hath take awaye thy blessynge.
36 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?”
Than sayde he: He maye well be called Iacob for he hath vndermyned me now. ij. tymes fyrst he toke awaye my byrthrighte: and se now hath he taken awaye my blessynge also. And he sayde hast thou kepte neuer a blessynge for me?
37 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?”
Isaac answered and sayde vnto Esau: beholde I haue made him thi LORde and all his mothers childern haue I made his seruauntes. Moreouer wyth corne ad wyne haue I stablesshed him what ca I do vnto the now my sonne?
38 Ịsọ jụrụ nna ya sị, “Nna m, ọ bụ naanị otu ngọzị ka i nwere? Gọziekwa m nna m!” Ịsọ kwara akwa nʼoke olu.
And Esau sayde vnto his father? hast thou but yt one blessynge my father? blesse me also my father: so lyfted vp Esau his voyce and wepte
39 Nna ya Aịzik zara sị ya, “Ebe obibi gị ga-adịpụ adịpụ, site nʼebe akụnụba nke ala dị, site nʼebe igirigi nke eluigwe dị.
Tha Isaac his father answered and sayde vnto himBeholde thy dwellynge place shall haue of the fatnesse of the erth and of the dewe of heauen fro aboue.
40 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.”
And wyth thy swerde shalt thou lyue and shalt be thy brothers seruaunte But the tyme will come when thou shalt gett the mastrye and lowse his yocke from of thy necke.
41 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.”
And Esau hated Iacob because of the blessynge yt his father blessed him with all and sayde in his harte: The dayes of my fathers sorowe are at hade for I will sley my brother Iacob.
42 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.
And these wordes of Esau hir eldest sonne were told to Rebecca. And she sente ad called Iacob hir yongest sonne and sayde vnto hi: beholde thy brother Esau threatneth to kyll the:
43 Nʼihi nke a, nwa m nwoke, mee ihe m gwara gị, gbapụ ọsọ ngwangwa, gbakwuru nwanne m Leban na Haran,
Now therfore my sone heare my voyce make the redie and flee to Laba my brother at Haran
44 Nọdụ nʼebe ahụ ruo mgbe iwe nwanne gị ga-adajụ.
And tarie with him a while vntill thy brothers fearsnes be swaged and
45 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.”
vntill thy brothers wrath turne away from the and he forgett that which thou hast done to him. Tha will I sende and fett the awaye from thence. Why shulde I lose you both in one daye.
46 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.”
And Rebecca spake to Isaac: I am wery of my life for feare of the doughters of Heth. Yf Iacob take a wife of the doughters of Heth soch one as these are or of the doughters of the lande what lust shulde I haue to lyue.
