Genesis 27
1 In pacl se inge Isaac el matuoh ac mutawauk in sulonginla. El sapla solalma Esau, wen se ma matu natul, ac fahk nu sel, “Wen nutik!” Esau el topuk, “Nga inge.”
Isaac was old and going blind. He called for Esau, his oldest son, and said, “My son.” “I'm here,” Esau replied.
2 Isaac el fahk, “Kom liye lah nga matuoh ac apkuran in misa.
“I'm old now,” said Isaac, “I may die soon, who knows?
3 Us mwe pisr nutum an ac sruokma soko kosro inima an nak.
So please take your bow and arrows and go hunting in the countryside for some meat for me.
4 Orauk kain in mongo yuyu se ma nga lungsena kang ah, ac use nu yuruk. Nga ac mongo tari, na nga fah akinsewowoyekomla meet liki nga misa.”
Make me that tasty food that I love and bring it to me to eat, so I can bless you before I die.”
5 Ke pacl se Isaac el kaskas nu sel Esau inge, Rebecca el lohng na. Ouinge ke Esau el illa som in sruh kosro,
Rebekah heard what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau left to go hunting in the countryside for wild game,
6 Rebecca el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Nga lohng lah ingena papa tomom fahk nu sel Esau ange:
Rebekah told her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father tell your brother,
7 ‘Use soko kosro inima an ac akmolyela nak. Tukun nga ac mongo tari, na nga ac akinsewowoye kom ye mutun LEUM GOD meet liki nga misa.’”
‘Get me some wild game and make me some tasty food so I can eat it and then bless you in the presence of the Lord before I die.’
8 Rebecca el tafwela ac fahk, “Wen nutik, porongo akwoye ac oru ma nga fahk uh.
Now then, my son, listen to me and do exactly what I tell you.
9 Fahla nu ke un kosro uh, ac srela lukwa nani fusr na fact an. Use ngan tuh akmolyela ac orala kain mongo se ma papa tomom el arulana lungse yohk ah.
Go to the flock and bring me two nice young goats. I'll cook them and make the tasty food your father loves.
10 Kom ku in usla nu yorol elan kang, elan mau akinsewowoyekomla meet liki el misa.”
Then you take it to your father to eat, so he can bless you in the presence of the Lord before he dies.”
11 Tusruktu Jacob el fahk nu sin nina kial, “Kom etu na lah manol Esau unacna, a monuk fwel.
“But listen,” Jacob replied to his mother Rebekah, “my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a smooth man.
12 Papa el ac tuh kahl monuk ac konauk lah nga kiapwel. Ac fin ange, ac tia akinsewowoyeyuk nga, a el ac selngaiyuwi.”
Maybe my father will notice when he touches me. Then it will look like I'm deceiving him and I'll bring a curse down on myself instead of a blessing.”
13 Nina kial ah fahk, “Wen nutik, lela kutena selnga nu sum an in oan fuk. Oru na ma nga fahk uh. Fahla use nani an.”
“Let the curse fall on me, my son,” his mother replied. “Just do what I tell you. Go and get the young goats for me.”
14 Ouinge el som sruokya nani uh, ac use nu yurin nina kial, ac el orala kain mongo se ma papa sac arulana lungse ah.
So Jacob went and got them and took them to his mother, and she made some tasty food, the way his father loved.
15 Na Rebecca el srukak nuknuk se ma wo emeet lal Esau su oan yorol in lohm uh, ac sang nokmulang Jacob.
Then Rebekah went and got her older son Esau's best clothes that she had at home and put them on Jacob her younger son.
16 El sang kulun nani uh nu fin paol Jacob, oayapa nu fin acn ma tia unacna ke kawal.
She put the goatskins on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 Na el sang mwe mongo yuyu sac, ac bread ma el munanla nu sel.
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she'd made.
18 Na Jacob el som nu yurin papa tumal ah, ac fahk, “Papa!” El topuk, “Nga inge. Su kac sumtal ingan?”
He went in to see his father, and called out, “My father, I'm here.” “Which son are you?” Isaac asked.
19 Jacob el fahk, “Nga Esau, wen matu nutum. Ma kom sap ngan orala nom ah pa inge. Tukakek mongoi, kom in tari akinsewowoyeyula.”
“It's me Esau, your firstborn son,” Jacob told his father. “I did what you told me. So please sit up and eat some of my wild game meat so you can bless me.”
20 Isaac el fahk nu sin wen natul, “Ku kom oru fuka tuh kom arulana sa konauk?” Jacob el fahk, LEUM GOD lom El kasreyu konauk.”
“How did you find an animal so fast, my son?” Isaac asked. “Because the Lord your God sent it my way,” Jacob replied.
21 Isaac el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Kaluku ngan kahlkomi. Pwayena lah kom pa Esau?”
“Come over here so I can touch you, my son,” Isaac told Jacob, “so I can tell if you're really my son Esau or not.”
22 Jacob el kalukyang nu yurin papa tumal ah, na Isaac el kahlilya ac fahk, “Pusrem oana pusracl Jacob, a poum paol Esau.”
Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “It's Jacob's voice but Esau's hands.”
23 El tiana akilenul Jacob, mweyen paol oana paol Esau. El akola elan akinsewowoyal,
Isaac didn't realize it was really Jacob because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's, so Isaac got ready to bless him.
24 na el sifilpa siyuk, “Ku pwayena kom pa Esau?” Ac el topuk, “Aok, pwaye.”
“It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied.
25 Isaac el fahk, “Kolma mongo an nu yuruk ngan kang. Nga ac mongo tari, na nga fah akinsewowoyekomla.” Jacob el kolang nu yorol, ac el oayapa sang wain nimal.
Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your wild game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.” Jacob brought some for him to eat, as well as some wine for him to drink.
26 Na papa tumal ah fahk nu sel, “Kaluku, wen nutik, ac ngokya mutuk.”
Afterwards he said to Isaac, “Come here and kiss me, my son.”
27 Ac ke el kalukyang in ngok mutal, Isaac el ngokak nuknuk lal, ouinge el akinsewowoyalla. Ac el fahk, “Foulin wen nutik uh loslos oana foulin ima ma LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye.
So Jacob went over and kissed him, and Isaac could smell the clothes Jacob was wearing. So he went ahead with the blessing, saying to himself, “See—the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed.”
28 God Elan asot nu sum aunfong inkusrao me, ac akkasrupye fohkon acn in ima lom! Ac lela Elan akpusye wheat ac wain lom!
“May God use the dew of heaven and fertile land to give you rich harvests of grain and new wine!
29 Mutunfacl puspis in kulansap nu sum, ac mwet uh in faksufi ye motom. Lela kom in leum fin sou lom nukewa, ac fwilin tulik nutin nina kiom in akfulatye kom. Lela elos su selngawi kom in selngawiyuk, ac elos su akinsewowoye kom in akinsewowoyeyuk.”
May the people of different nations serve you and bow down to you. May you rule over your relatives, and may they bow down to you. May everyone who curses you be cursed, and may everyone who bless you be blessed.”
30 Isaac el akinsewowoyela Jacob tari, na Jacob el tuyak som. Tia paht na Esau, tamulel lal, el foloko liki sruh kosro lal.
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob—in fact Jacob had just left his father—Esau returned from his hunting trip.
31 El oayapa akmolyela mwe mongo na yuyu ac usla nu yurin papa tumal. Ac el fahk, “Papa, tukakek kang kutu ikwen kosro nga us tuku nom inge, kom in tari akinsewowoyeyula.”
He had also made some tasty food, and took it to his father. Esau said to Isaac, “Sit up, my father, and eat some of my wild game so you can bless me.”
32 Ac Isaac el siyuk, “Ku su kom an?” Ac Esau el fahk, “Nga Esau, wounse mukul nutum.”
“Who are you?” Isaac asked him. “I'm your son, your firstborn son, Esau,” he replied.
33 Manol Isaac nufon rarrarak, ac el siyuk, “Fin angan, ac su sruhk uniya kosro soko use nak ah? Nga mongo tufahna tari na pa kom utyak. Nga sang nufon mwe insewowo luk nu sel, ac inge ac ma na lal nwe tok.”
Isaac started to shake all over and asked, “So who was it who went hunting game and then brought it to me? I ate it all before you came back and I blessed him. His blessing will remain.”
34 Ke Esau el lohng ma inge, el liksreni tung ac wowoyak, ac fahk, “Papa, akinsewowoyeyu pac!”
When Esau heard his father's words, he cried out in great anger and bitterness, and pleaded with his father, “Please bless me too, my father!”
35 Isaac el fahk, “Tamulel lom el tuku ac kiapweyula. El eisla tari mwe insewowo lom.”
But Isaac replied, “You brother came and deceived me—he stole your blessing!”
36 Esau el fahk, “Pacl luola el aklalfonyeyu. Fal in pangpang inel Jacob. El eisla wal lun wounse luk, ac inge el eisla pac mwe insewowo luk. Ya wangin na pwaye mwe insewowo lula kom filiya luk?”
“Isn't he well named—Jacob the deceiver!” said Esau. “He's deceived me twice. First he took my birthright, and now he's stolen my blessing! Haven't you kept a blessing for me?”
37 Isaac el topuk, “Nga orala tari elan leum fom, ac tuh mwet wial nukewa fah mwet kulansap lal. Nga sang nu sel wheat ac wain. Inge, wen nutik, wangin ma nga ku in oru nu sum!”
Isaac replied to Esau. “I have made him ruler over you, and have said that all his relatives will be his servants. I have declared that he will be well supplied with grain and new wine. So what is left that I can do for you, my son?”
38 Esau el sifil pacna kwafe nu sin papa tumal ah, ac fahk, “Ya mwe insewowo sefanna lom, papa? Akinsewowoyeyu pac!” Na el sifilpa tung.
“Do you only have one blessing, my father?” Esau asked. “Please bless me too!” Then Esau began to cry very loudly.
39 Na Isaac el fahk nu sel, “Wangin aunfong nu sum inkusrao me, Wangin acn wo ke ima uh lom.
Then his father Isaac declared, “Listen! You will live far away from fertile land, far from the dew of heaven that falls from above.
40 Cutlass nutum pa ac sot enenu lom, Ac kom fah kulansupu tamulel lom. Tusruktu kom fin tuyak lainul, Kom ac fah pisrla liki ye nununku lal.”
You will make a living by using your sword, and you will be your brother's servant. But when you rebel, you will throw off his yoke from your neck.”
41 Esau el arulana srungalla Jacob, mweyen papa tumal ah tuh sang mwe insewowo ah nu sel. Ac el nunku sel sifacna, “Akuranna sun pacl in eoksra ke misa lal papa. Fin safla, na nga ac unilya Jacob.”
From then on Esau hated Jacob because of his father's blessing. Esau said to himself, “Soon the time will come when I'll mourn my father's death. Then I'll kill my brother Jacob!”
42 Tusruktu ke Rebecca el lohng ke akoo lal Esau ah, el sapla solalma Jacob ac fahk nu sel, “Esau tamulel lom, el akoo in foloksak nu sum ac unikomi.
However, Rebekah found out what Esau was saying, so she sent for Jacob. “Look,” she told him, “your brother Esau is making himself feel better by making plans to kill you.
43 Wen nutik, inge kom oru ma nga fahk uh. Fahla ingena nwe yorol Laban tamulel luk in acn Haran,
So, my son, listen carefully to what I tell you. Leave immediately and go to my brother Laban in Haram.
44 ac muta yorol nwe ke na kasrkusrak lun tamulel lom ohula
Stay with him for a while until your brother's anger cools down.
45 ac el mulkunla ma kom oru nu sel inge. Tok nga ac fah supwaot sie mwet in folokinkomme. Mwe mea wen luo nutik in tukenina wanginla ke len sefanna?”
Once he's cooled down and forgets what you did to him, I'll send for you to come back. Why should I lose both of you in a single day?”
46 Rebecca el fahk nu sel Isaac, “Nga keokla sin mutan Hit kial Esau inge. Jacob el fin payukyak pac sin sie mutan Hit, ac mansis pacna ngan tari misa.”
Then Rebekah went and told Isaac, “I'm so sick of these Hittite women—they're ruining my life! If Jacob also marries a Hittite woman like them, one of the local people, I'd rather die!”
