Uumama 27
1 Yisihaaq dulloomee yeroo iji isaa arguu dadhabetti ilma isaa hangafa Esaawun ofitti waamee, “Yaa ilma koo” jedheen. Innis, “Kunoo asan jira” jedhee deebise.
When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 Yisihaaq akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, ani dulloomeera; guyyaa duʼa koo hin beeku.
He said, “See now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
3 Kanaafuu maaloo miʼa adamoo keetii jechuunis korojoo xiyya keetii fi iddaa kee qabadhuutii gara dirreetti baʼiitii bineensa naa adamsi.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
4 Akka ani utuun hin duʼiniin dura si eebbisuuf, nyaata miʼaawaa gosa ani jaalladhu naa qopheessiitii akka ani nyaadhuuf naa dhiʼeessi.”
Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 Yommuu Yisihaaq ilma isaa Esaawutti dubbatetti Ribqaan ni dhaggeeffatti turte. Yeroo Esaawu bineensa adamsee fiduuf gara dirreetti gad baʼetti,
Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 Ribqaan ilma ishee Yaaqoobiin akkana jette; “Kunoo, ani utuu abbaan kee obboleessa kee Esaawutti dubbatuu dhagaʼeera;
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
7 innis, ‘Akka ani utuun hin duʼin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti si eebbisuuf bineensa adamsii fidiitii akka ani nyaadhuuf nyaata miʼaawu naa qopheessi’ jedheen.
‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
8 Egaa yaa ilma ko, akkuma ani si ajajutti dubbii koo dhagaʼi.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9 Ani akkan abbaa keetiif akkuma inni jaallatutti nyaata miʼaawaa qopheessuuf gara bushaayee dhaqiitii ilmoolee reʼee filatamoo lama naa fidi.
Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
10 Akka inni nyaatee utuu hin duʼin si eebbisuuf abbaa keetiif nyaata dhiʼeessi.”
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11 Yaaqoobis haadha isaa Ribqaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, obboleessi koo Esaawu dabbasaaʼaa dha; ani garuu rifeensa hin qabu.
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 Yoo abbaan koo na qaqqabatee waan ani isa gowwoomse seʼe, ani qooda eebbaa abaarsa ofitti nan fida.”
What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”
13 Haati isaa immoo, “Yaa ilma ko, abaarsi sun naaf haa taʼu; ati waanuma ani siin jedhe godhi; dhaqiitii reʼoota sana naa fidi” jetteen.
His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
14 Innis dhaqee ilmoolee reʼootaa sana qabee haadha isaatiif fide; isheen immoo akkuma abbaan isaa jaallatutti nyaata miʼaawu qopheessiteef.
He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
15 Ergasiis Ribqaan uffata Esaaw ilma ishee hangaftichaa kan ishee bira ture keessaa kan hunda irra bareedu fuutee Yaaqoob ilma ishee isa quxisuu sanatti uffifte.
Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16 Harka isaatii fi morma isaa iddoo rifeensa hin qabnetti gogaa reʼootaa uffifte.
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 Ergasiis nyaata miʼaawaa fi buddeena qopheessitee turte sana ilma ishee Yaaqoobitti kennite.
She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Innis gara abbaa isaa dhaqee, “Yaa abbaa koo” jedhe. Innis, “Yaa ilma ko, kunoo asan jira; ati eenyu?” jedhee deebise.
He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
19 Yaaqoobis abbaa isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani Esaawu ilma kee isa hangafticha; akkuma ati natti himte sana godheera; akka na eebbiftuuf mee ol jedhiitii waan ani adamsee fide nyaadhu.”
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”
20 Yisihaaq ilma isaatiin, “Yaa ilma ko, akkamitti akkana daftee argatte?” jedhe. Yaaqoob immoo, “Waaqayyo Waaqa keetu na milkoomse” jedhee deebise.
Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because the LORD your God gave me success.”
21 Yisihaaqis Yaaqoobiin, “Akka ani si qaqqabadhee ilma koo Esaaw taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu kee beekuuf mee as dhiʼaadhu” jedhe.
Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
22 Yaaqoobis abbaa isaa Yisihaaqitti dhiʼaate; abbaan isaas isa qaqqabatee, “Sagaleen kun sagalee Yaaqoob; harki kun garuu harka Esaawu” jedhe.
Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Waan harki isaa akkuma harka Esaawu rifeensa qabuuf Yisihaaq gargar baasee isa beekuu hin dandeenye; kanaafuu isa eebbise.
He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 Innis, “Ati dhugumaan ilma koo Esaawuu?” jedhee gaafate. Inni immoo, “Eeyyee ani isuma” jedhee deebise.
He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
25 Yisihaaqis, “Yaa ilma ko, akka ani nyaadhee si eebbisuuf mee waan adamsitee fidde sana naa kenni” jedhe. Yaaqoob ni dhiʼeesseef; innis ni nyaate; daadhii wayiniis ni fideef; innis ni dhuge.
He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Abbaan isaa Yisihaaqis, “Yaa ilma koo as kottuu na dhungadhu” jedheen.
His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
27 Innis itti dhiʼaatee isa dhungate. Yisihaaqis foolii wayyaa isaa suufee isa eebbise; akkanas jedhe; “Ilaa, fooliin ilma koo, akkuma foolii lafa qotiisaa Waaqayyo eebbisee ti.
He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
28 Waaqni fixeensa samii, lafa gabbataa, midhaanii fi wayinii akka malee baayʼatu siif haa kennu.
God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 Saboonni si haa tajaajilan; uummannis siif haa sagadan. Obboloota kee irratti gooftaa taʼi; ilmaan haadha keetiis siif haa sagadan. Warri si abaaran haa abaaraman; warri si eebbisan immoo haa eebbifaman.”
Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
30 Akkuma Yisihaaq Yaaqoobin eebbisee fixee Yaaqoob immoo fuula abbaa isaa fuula Yisihaaq duraa gad baʼeen, obboleessi isaa Esaawu adamoodhaa dhufee ol gale.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 Innis nyaata miʼaawaa qopheessee abbaa isaatiif fide; abbaa isaatiinis, “Yaa abbaa ko, ati akka na eebbiftuuf ol jedhiitii waan ani ilmi kee adamsee fide nyaadhu” jedhe.
He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”
32 Abbaan isaa Yisihaaqis, “Ati eenyu?” jedhee isa gaafate. Innis, “Ani ilma kee Esaawu hangafticha” jedhe.
Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 Yommus Yisihaaq akka malee hollachaa, “Yoos namni waa adamsee naa fide eenyu ree? Ani utuu ati hin dhufin hunduma isaa nyaadheen isa eebbise; inni dhugumaan ni eebbifama!” jedhe.
Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
34 Esaawu yommuu waan abbaan isaa dubbate dhagaʼetti, abbaa isaatiin, “Yaa abbaa ko, anas eebbisi!” jedhee sagalee ol fudhatee hiqqifatee booʼe.
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
35 Yisihaaq garuu, “Obboleessi kee haxxummaadhaan dhufee eebba kee fudhateera” jedhe.
He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
36 Esaawus, “Maqaan isaa iyyuu dhugumaan Yaaqoob jedhama mitii? Inni kana wajjin yeroo lama na gowwoomsuu isaa ti; jalqabatti hangafummaa koo narraa fudhate; amma immoo eebba koo fudhateera” jedhe. Ergasiis inni, “Ati eebba tokko illee naa hin hambifnee ree?” jedhee gaafate.
He said, “Is not he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Have not you reserved a blessing for me?”
37 Yisihaaq immoo akkana jedhee Esaawuuf deebise; “Kunoo ani akka inni sirratti gooftaa taʼuu fi akka firoonni isaa hundi tajaajiltoota isaa taʼan godheera; akka inni midhaanii fi daadhii wayinii qabaatuufis isa eebbiseera. Egaa yaa ilma koo ani maal siif gochuun dandaʼa?”
Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
38 Esaawus abbaa isaatiin, “Yaa abbaa ko, ati eebbuma tokko qofa qabdaa? Yaa abbaa ko, anas eebbisi!” jedhe. Esaawus sagalee ol fudhatee booʼe.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 Abbaan isaa Yisihaaqis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Iddoon jireenya keetii lafa gabbataa irraa ni fagaata; fixeensa samii gubbaa irraas ni fagaata.
Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
40 Ati goraadeedhaan jiraatta; obboleessa kees ni tajaajilta. Yeroo isaan mormitutti garuu waanjoo isaa cabsitee morma kee irraa buufta.”
You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
41 Esaawu sababii abbaan isaa Yaaqoobin eebbiseef Yaaqoobitti haaloo qabate. Innis garaa isaatti, “Yeroon itti abbaa kootiif booʼan dhiʼaateera; anis yeroo sana obboleessa koo Yaaqoobin nan ajjeesa” jedhee yaade.
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Yommuu wanni Esaawu ilmi ishee hangaftichi jedhe isheetti himametti Ribqaan Yaaqoob ilma ishee quxisuu waamsiftee akkana jetteen; “Kunoo, obboleessi kee Esaawu si ajjeesee garaa isaa qabbaneeffachuu barbaada.
The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 Kanaafuu yaa ilma koo na dhagaʼi; kaʼiitii gara obboleessa koo Laabaa kan Kaaraan keessa jiraatu sanaatti baqadhu.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 Hamma aariin obboleessa keetii qabbanaaʼutti yeroo gabaabaaf isa bira turi.
Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
45 Yommuu aariin obboleessa keetii qabbanaaʼee innis waan ati isa goote sana irraanfatutti ani dhaamsa sitti ergee achii sin fichisiisa. Ani maaliifan guyyaa tokkotti isin lachuu dhaba?”
until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
46 Ribqaanis Yisihaaqiin akkana jette; “Ani sababii dubartoota Heetotaa kanneeniif jiraachuu jibbeera. Yoo Yaaqoob dubartoota biyya kanaa jechuunis dubartoota Heetotaa kanneen keessaa niitii fuudhe, jireenyi koo maal anaaf godha ree!”
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
