Genesisy 27
1 Ary rehefa antitra Isaka, ary pahina ny masony ka tsy nahita, dia niantso an’ i Esao lahimatoany izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Anaka; ary hoy izy taminy kosa: Inty aho.
Isaac was old and going blind. He called for Esau, his oldest son, and said, “My son.” “I'm here,” Esau replied.
2 Ary hoy izy: Indro fa efa antitra aho, ka tsy fantatro izay andro hahafatesako;
“I'm old now,” said Isaac, “I may die soon, who knows?
3 koa ankehitriny, masìna ianao, alao ny fitifiranao dia ny tranon-jana-tsipìkanao sy ny tsipìkanao, ary mankanesa any an-tsaha, ka ihazao aho;
So please take your bow and arrows and go hunting in the countryside for some meat for me.
4 ary anaovy hanim-py aho araka ilay tiako, ka ento atỳ amiko hohaniko, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahiko rano anao, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.
Make me that tasty food that I love and bring it to me to eat, so I can bless you before I die.”
5 Ary Rebeka nandre an’ Isaka niteny tamin’ i Esao zananilahy. Ary dia lasa nankany an-tsaha Esao nitady haza ho entiny.
Rebekah heard what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau left to go hunting in the countryside for wild game,
6 Ary Rebeka niteny tamin’ i Jakoba zananilahy ka nanao hoe: Indro, efa reko ny rainao niteny tamin’ i Esao rahalahinao nanao hoe:
Rebekah told her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father tell your brother,
7 Ihazao aho, ka anaovy hanim-py hohaniko; dia hitso-drano anao aho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.
‘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 Koa ankehitriny, anaka, araho ny teniko amin’ izay asaiko ataonao.
Now then, my son, listen to me and do exactly what I tell you.
9 Mankanesa kely any amin’ ny ondry aman’ osy, ka analao zanak’ osy roa tsara aho; dia hataoko hanim-py ho an’ ny rainao araka ilay tiany izany;
Go to the flock and bring me two nice young goats. I'll cook them and make the tasty food your father loves.
10 ary dia ho entinao any amin’ ny rainao hohaniny, mba hitsofany rano anao, dieny tsy mbola maty izy.
Then you take it to your father to eat, so he can bless you in the presence of the Lord before he dies.”
11 Fa hoy Jakoba tamin-dRebeka reniny: Indro, Esao rahalahiko dia lehilahy voloina, fa izaho lehilahy malambo hoditra kosa;
“But listen,” Jacob replied to his mother Rebekah, “my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a smooth man.
12 ary angamba hitsapa ahy ikaky, dia ho toy ny mpanandoka eo imasony aho ka hahatonga ozona amiko, fa tsy tso-drano.
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 Ary hoy ny reniny taminy: Aoka ho ahy ihany anaka, ny ozona ho anao; araho ihany ny teniko, ka mandehana, itondray aho.
“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 Dia nandeha izy ka naka, ary nitondra tao amin’ ny reniny; ary ny reniny kosa dia nanao hanim-py araka ilay tian’ ny rainy.
So Jacob went and got them and took them to his mother, and she made some tasty food, the way his father loved.
15 Ary nalain-dRebeka ny fitafian’ i Esao lahimatoany, dia ny tsara izay efa notehiriziny tao an-trano, ka nampitafiny an’ i Jakoba zanany faralahy.
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 Ary ny hoditry ny zanak’ osy dia nafonony ny tànany sy ny malambolambo amin’ ny vozony;
She put the goatskins on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 dia natolony teo an-tànan’ i Jakoba zanany ny hanim-py sy ny mofo izay efa namboariny.
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she'd made.
18 Ary Jakoba nankany amin’ ny rainy ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô! ary hoy kosa izy: Inty aho; iza moa ianao, anaka?
He went in to see his father, and called out, “My father, I'm here.” “Which son are you?” Isaac asked.
19 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin-drainy: Izaho no Esao zanakao lahimatoa; efa nanao araka izay nasainao nataoko aho; masìna ianao, miarena, dia mipetraha, ka hano ny hazako, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahinao rano ahy.
“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 Ary hoy Isaka tamin’ ny zanany: Nanao ahoana, anaka, no dia nalaky nahazo toy izany ianao? Ary hoy izy: Satria Jehovah Andriamanitrao no nampahazo ahy.
“How did you find an animal so fast, my son?” Isaac asked. “Because the Lord your God sent it my way,” Jacob replied.
21 Ary hoy Isaka tamin’ i Jakoba; Mba manatòna kely hoe hitsapako anao, anaka, hahafantarako na Esao zanako tokoa ianao, na tsia.
“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 Ary Jakoba nanatona an’ Isaka rainy, ary izy dia nitsapa azy ka nanao hoe: Ny feo dia feon’ i Jakoba, fa ny tanana dia tànan’ i Esao.
Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “It's Jacob's voice but Esau's hands.”
23 Ary tsy nahafantatra azy izy, satria voloina tahaka ny tanan’ i Esao rahalahiny ny tànany; dia notsofiny rano izy.
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 Ary hoy izy: Hianao tokoa moa no Esao zanako? Dia hoy izy: Izaho no izy.
“It's really you, my son Esau?” he asked again. “Yes, it's me,” Jacob replied.
25 Ary hoy kosa Isaka: Arosoy eto anoloako ary izato hazan’ ny zanako hihinanako, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahiko rano anao. Ary dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy; ary nitondrany divay izy, dia nisotro.
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 Ary hoy Isaka rainy taminy: Mba manatòna kely ka manoroha ahy, anaka.
Afterwards he said to Isaac, “Come here and kiss me, my son.”
27 Dia nanatona izy ka nanoroka azy; ary Isaka nandre ny fofon’ ny fitafiany, dia nitso-drano azy ka nanao hoe: E! ny fofon’ ny zanako. Dia tahaka ny fofon’ ny saha izay notahin’ i Jehovah.
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 Ary hanomezan’ Andriamanitra anao anie ny andon’ ny lanitra sy ny tsiron’ ny tany, ary vary sy ranom-boaloboka betsaka.
“May God use the dew of heaven and fertile land to give you rich harvests of grain and new wine!
29 Hanompo anao anie ny firenena maro, Ary hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny firenena samy hafa. Ho tompon’ ny rahalahinao anie ianao, ary aoka hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny zanaky ny reninao. Ho voaozona anie izay rehetra manozona anao, ary hohasoavina anie izay manisy soa anao.
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 Ary rehefa vita ny nitsofan’ Isaka rano an’ i Jakoba, ary vao nidify Jakoba teo anatrehan’ Isaka rainy, dia niditra kosa Esao rahalahiny avy nihaza.
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob—in fact Jacob had just left his father—Esau returned from his hunting trip.
31 Ary izy koa nanao hanim-py ka nitondra azy tao amin’ ny rainy; ary hoy izy tamin’ ny rainy: Aoka hiarina ny raiko ka hihinana amin’ ny hazan’ ny zanany, mba hitsofan’ ny fanahinao rano ahy.
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 Fa hoy Isaka rainy taminy: Iza indray moa ianao? Ary hoy izy: Izaho no Esao zanakao lahimatoa.
“Who are you?” Isaac asked him. “I'm your son, your firstborn son, Esau,” he replied.
33 Ary toran-kovitra indrindra Isaka ka nanao hoe: Iza ary ilay naka haza ka nitondra teto amiko, ary efa nihinanako izany rehetra izany, fony tsy mbola tonga ianao, ka efa notsofiko rano izy; eny, hotahina tokoa izy.
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 Raha vao ren’ i Esao ny tenin’ ny rainy, dia nitaraina mafy dia mafy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mba tsofy rano re aho, dia izaho koa, ry ikaky ô.
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 Ary hoy rainy: Tonga ny rahalahinao nanandoka ka nahalasa ny tso-dranonao.
But Isaac replied, “You brother came and deceived me—he stole your blessing!”
36 Dia hoy Esao: Moa tsy mandia va ny anarany hoe Jakoba? fa efa namingana ahy indroa izy izao: ny fizokiako efa nalainy; ary, indro, ankehitriny lasany koa ny tso-dranoko. Ary hoy kosa izy: Tsy mba nitahiry tso-drano ho ahy va ianao?
“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 Dia namaly Isaka ka nanao tamin’ i Esao hoe: Indro, efa nataoko ho tomponao izy, ary ny rahalahiny rehetra nomeko ho mpanompony; ary vary sy ranom-boaloboka no namelomako azy; koa inona indray no hataoko aminao, anaka?
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 Ary hoy Esao tamin’ ny rainy: Tso-drano iray ihany va no anao, ry ikaky? mba tsofy rano re aho, dia izaho koa, ry ikaky ô. Ary Esao dia nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany.
“Do you only have one blessing, my father?” Esau asked. “Please bless me too!” Then Esau began to cry very loudly.
39 Dia namaly Isaka rainy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, tsy ho amin’ ny tsiron’ ny tany ny fonenanao, ary tsy ho amin’ ny andon’ ny lanitra avy any ambony;
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 Fa ny sabatrao no hivelomanao, ary ny rahalahinao no hotompoinao; kanefa, raha mby amin’ izay andro hahafahanao. Dia hotapahinao ny ziogany ho afaka amin’ ny vozonao.
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 Ary Esao nanao fo-lentika tamin’ i Jakoba noho ny tso-drano izay nataon-drainy taminy; dia hoy Esao anakampo: Efa antomotra ny andro hisaonana an’ ikaky, dia hamono an’ i Jakoba rahalahiko aho.
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 Ary nisy namambara tamin-dRebeka izany tenin’ i Esao zanany lahimatoa izany; dia naniraka nampaka an’ i Jakoba zanany faralahy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, Esao rahalahinao mikasa hamaly ny nataonao ka hamono anao.
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 Ary ankehitriny, anaka, araho ny teniko; miainga ka mandosira ho any Harana, dia any amin’ i Labana anadahiko.
So, my son, listen carefully to what I tell you. Leave immediately and go to my brother Laban in Haram.
44 Ary mitoera any aminy andro vitsivitsy mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeran’ ny rahalahinao,
Stay with him for a while until your brother's anger cools down.
45 eny, mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeran’ ny rahalahinao aminao, ka ho hadinony izay nataonao taminy; dia haniraka aho ka hampaka anao any; hataoko ahoana no famoy anareo mirahalahy indray andro?
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 Ary hoy Rebeka tamin’ Isaka: Tsy te-ho velona aho noho ireny zanakavavin’ ny Hetita; raha maka vady amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Hetita Jakoba, tahaka ireto izay avy amin’ ny zazavavy tompon-tany koa hataoko inona ny aiko?
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!”
