< Kejadian 27 >

1 Ketika Isak sudah tua dan tidak bisa melihat lagi, dia memanggil Esau, anaknya yang sulung, dan berkata, “Anakku!” Jawab Esau, “Ya, Ayah!”
When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
2 Isak berkata, “Aku sudah tua, dan hari kematianku semakin dekat.
and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
3 Ambillah panahmu beserta tabung anak panahnya, lalu pergilah berburu ke padang.
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 Masaklah daging hasil buruan itu dengan enak, seperti yang aku sukai. Kemudian bawalah ke sini untuk aku makan, supaya aku bisa memberkatimu sebelum aku mati.”
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 Ribka mendengar Isak berbicara kepada Esau. Maka ketika Esau pergi berburu,
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 berkatalah Ribka kepada Yakub, “Aku sudah mendengar ayahmu bicara kepada Esau.
Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
7 Ayah menyuruh kakakmu, ‘Pergilah berburu, lalu masaklah daging buruanmu bagiku. Sesudah aku memakannya, aku akan memberikan berkat TUHAN kepadamu sebelum aku mati.’
‘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 Nah, Yakub anakku, sekarang lakukanlah apa yang aku perintahkan kepadamu.
So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
9 Pergilah dan pilihlah dua ekor kambing muda terbaik dari kawanan ternak. Bawalah ke sini agar aku memasak dagingnya seperti kesukaan ayahmu.
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 Nanti, bawalah makanan itu kepada ayahmu untuk dimakannya, supaya ayahmu memberkatimu sebelum dia meninggal.”
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 Jawab Yakub, “Ibu, tubuh Esau berbulu, sedangkan aku tidak.
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 Bagaimana kalau ayah memegangku?! Dia pasti langsung tahu bahwa aku bukan Esau dan bahwa aku sedang berusaha menipunya. Aku tidak akan diberkati ayah, malahan dikutuknya.”
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 Kata Ribka, “Bila terjadi demikian, biar ibumu ini yang menanggung kutukan ayahmu. Ikuti saja perkataan ibu. Ambillah dua anak kambing, dan segera bawalah ke sini.”
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 Yakub mengikuti perintah ibunya. Dia pergi dan kembali dengan membawa anak kambing itu. Lalu ibunya menyiapkan hidangan yang sangat enak kesukaan Isak.
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 Sesudah itu, Ribka mengambil pakaian Esau yang sangat bagus, yang disimpan di rumahnya, kemudian memberikannya kepada Yakub untuk dipakai.
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 Dia menutupi lengan Yakub dengan kulit kambing muda, juga bagian lehernya yang tidak berbulu.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
17 Ribka menyerahkan masakan daging yang lezat itu serta roti yang baru dibakar kepadanya,
Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
18 dan Yakub mendatangi ayahnya. “Ayah, ini aku,” katanya. Isak bertanya, “Kamu siapa, Esau atau Yakub?”
Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
19 Jawab Yakub, “Aku Esau, anak sulungmu. Aku sudah melakukan semua yang Ayah minta. Duduklah dan nikmatilah daging buruan yang aku masak ini, supaya Ayah dapat memberkatiku.”
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 Isak bertanya lagi kepada anaknya, “Bagaimana mungkin secepat itu kamu bisa mendapatkannya, anakku?” Jawab Yakub, “Karena TUHAN, Allah yang Ayah sembah, sudah menolongku.”
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 Kemudian Isak berkata kepada Yakub, “Mendekatlah supaya ayah bisa memegangmu untuk memastikan bahwa kamu benar-benar Esau.”
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 Yakub mendekat dan Isak merabanya sambil berkata, “Suaranya suara Yakub, tetapi lengannya lengan 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 Isak tidak tahu bahwa sebenarnya yang dia sentuh adalah Yakub karena lengannya berbulu seperti Esau. Sebelum memberkati Yakub,
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 Isak bertanya lagi, “Apa benar kamu Esau?” Yakub menjawab, “Benar, aku Esau.”
But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
25 Lalu berkatalah Isak, “Dekatkanlah makanan itu agar ayah dapat memakannya lalu memberkatimu.” Yakub mendekatkan makanan itu dan Isak memakannya. Yakub membawa anggur dan Isak meminumnya juga.
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 Kemudian Isak berkata kepadanya, “Anakku, mendekatlah dan ciumlah aku.”
Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
27 Maka Yakub mendekat dan mencium ayahnya. Ketika Isak mencium bau pakaian Esau yang dikenakan Yakub, dia memberkati Yakub dengan berkata, “Bau anakku ini bagaikan bau padang yang sudah diberkati TUHAN.
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 Semoga Allah memberikan kepadamu embun dari langit, dan membuat ladang-ladangmu subur! Semoga Dia memberikan kepadamu hasil panen dan anggur berlimpah-limpah!
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 Kiranya banyak orang akan melayanimu, dan bangsa-bangsa berlutut di hadapanmu. Biarlah kamu berkuasa atas saudara-saudaramu, dan anak-anak ibumu tunduk kepadamu. Terkutuklah orang yang mengutukmu dan diberkatilah orang yang memberkatimu!”
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 Segera sesudah Isak memberkati Yakub, dan Yakub baru saja meninggalkan ayahnya, Esau tiba dengan membawa hasil buruannya.
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
31 Esau memasak daging hasil buruannya dengan enak dan membawanya kepada Isak sambil berkata, “Ayah, duduklah dan makanlah makanan yang sudah aku siapkan, supaya Ayah bisa memberkatiku.”
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 Bertanyalah Isak “Kamu siapa?” Jawab Esau, “Aku Esau, anak sulung Ayah.”
His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
33 Isak sangat terkejut dan dengan gemetar dia bertanya, “Lalu siapakah yang sudah pergi berburu dan membawa makanan kepadaku sebelum kamu datang? Aku sudah memakan semuanya, dan sudah memberkati dia dengan berkat yang tidak bisa ditarik kembali!”
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 Mendengar itu, Esau sakit hati dan menangis keras-keras. Dia memohon, “Ayah, berkatilah aku juga!”
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 Tetapi Isak menjawab, “Adikmu sudah menipuku dan mengambil berkatmu.”
But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
36 Berkatalah Esau, “Pantaslah namanya Yakub! Dia sudah dua kali menipuku. Pertama, dia merampas hakku sebagai anak sulung. Sekarang, dia merampas lagi hakku untuk mendapat berkat.” Lalu Esau bertanya kepada ayahnya, “Apakah Ayah tidak ada berkat lain untukku?”
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 Isak menjawab, “Sesungguhnya, aku sudah memberi dia kuasa atas kamu dan semua sanak saudaranya, untuk menjadi hamba-hambanya. Semua hasil panen serta anggur juga menjadi miliknya. Tidak ada lagi yang bisa ayah berikan kepadamu, anakku!”
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 Esau bertanya lagi kepada ayahnya, “Hanya berkat itukah yang ada pada Ayah? Berkatilah aku juga, Ayah!” Lalu Esau meratap dengan nyaring.
Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
39 Isak menjawab, “Kamu akan hidup di tempat yang tidak subur, tanpa ada embun dari langit.
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 Kamu akan hidup dengan pedangmu dan kamu akan menjadi hamba adikmu. Tetapi kalau kamu memberontak, kamu akan bebas dari kuasanya.”
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 Esau membenci Yakub karena ayah mereka sudah memberikan berkat kepadanya. Dalam hatinya, Esau berkata, “Tidak lama lagi ayah meninggal. Nanti, sesudah selesai acara berduka, aku akan membunuh Yakub!”
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 Ketika mengetahui rencana Esau, Ribka memanggil Yakub dan berkata, “Dengarkanlah. Kakakmu Esau berniat untuk membalas dendam dan membunuhmu.
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 Anakku, lakukanlah yang ibu sampaikan: Selamatkanlah dirimu. Pergilah segera kepada saudaraku Laban di Haran.
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 Tinggallah di sana untuk sementara waktu sampai kakakmu tidak lagi marah kepadamu
Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
45 dan melupakan perbuatanmu kepadanya. Nanti, ibu akan mengutus seseorang untuk memanggil dan membawa kamu pulang. Ibu tidak ingin kehilangan kedua anak ibu pada hari yang sama.”
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 Setelah itu, Ribka berkata kepada Isak, “Aku benci hidup karena perempuan Het semacam istri-istri Esau itu. Kalau sampai Yakub menikahi perempuan dari daerah ini juga, lebih baik aku mati saja!”
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!”
