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.
And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I [am here].
2 Yisihaaq akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, ani dulloomeera; guyyaa duʼa koo hin beeku.
And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not 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 then take the weapons, both your quiver and your bow, and go into the plain, 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.”
and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, 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,
And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
6 Ribqaan ilma ishee Yaaqoobiin akkana jette; “Kunoo, ani utuu abbaan kee obboleessa kee Esaawutti dubbatuu dhagaʼeera;
And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard your father speaking 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 prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless you before the Lord before I die.
8 Egaa yaa ilma ko, akkuma ani si ajajutti dubbii koo dhagaʼi.
Now then, my son, listen to me, as I command you.
9 Ani akkan abbaa keetiif akkuma inni jaallatutti nyaata miʼaawaa qopheessuuf gara bushaayee dhaqiitii ilmoolee reʼee filatamoo lama naa fidi.
And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for your father, as he likes.
10 Akka inni nyaatee utuu hin duʼin si eebbisuuf abbaa keetiif nyaata dhiʼeessi.”
And you shall bring them in to your father, and he shall eat, that your father may bless you before he dies.
11 Yaaqoobis haadha isaa Ribqaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, obboleessi koo Esaawu dabbasaaʼaa dha; ani garuu rifeensa hin qabu.
And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
12 Yoo abbaan koo na qaqqabatee waan ani isa gowwoomse seʼe, ani qooda eebbaa abaarsa ofitti nan fida.”
Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, 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.
And his mother said to him, On me be your curse, son; only listen to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
14 Innis dhaqee ilmoolee reʼootaa sana qabee haadha isaatiif fide; isheen immoo akkuma abbaan isaa jaallatutti nyaata miʼaawu qopheessiteef.
So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
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.
And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.
16 Harka isaatii fi morma isaa iddoo rifeensa hin qabnetti gogaa reʼootaa uffifte.
And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
17 Ergasiis nyaata miʼaawaa fi buddeena qopheessitee turte sana ilma ishee Yaaqoobitti kennite.
And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
18 Innis gara abbaa isaa dhaqee, “Yaa abbaa koo” jedhe. Innis, “Yaa ilma ko, kunoo asan jira; ati eenyu?” jedhee deebise.
And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who are you, 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.”
And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau your firstborn, have done as you told me; rise, 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.
And Isaac said to his son, What is this which you have quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord your God presented before me.
21 Yisihaaqis Yaaqoobiin, “Akka ani si qaqqabadhee ilma koo Esaaw taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu kee beekuuf mee as dhiʼaadhu” jedhe.
And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel you, son, if you are 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.
And Jacob drew near to his father Isaac, and 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.
And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,
24 Innis, “Ati dhugumaan ilma koo Esaawuu?” jedhee gaafate. Inni immoo, “Eeyyee ani isuma” jedhee deebise.
and he said, Are you my son Esau? and 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.
And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of your venison, son, that my soul may bless you; and he brought [it] near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Abbaan isaa Yisihaaqis, “Yaa ilma koo as kottuu na dhungadhu” jedheen.
And Isaac his father said to him, Draw near to me, and kiss me, 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.
And he drew near and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.
28 Waaqni fixeensa samii, lafa gabbataa, midhaanii fi wayinii akka malee baayʼatu siif haa kennu.
And may God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and 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.”
And let nations serve you, and princes bow down to you, and be you lord of your brother, and the sons of your father shall do you reverence; accursed is he that curses you, and blessed is he that 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.
And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that 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.
And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and 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.
And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your firstborn son 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.
And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before you came, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
34 Esaawu yommuu waan abbaan isaa dubbate dhagaʼetti, abbaa isaatiin, “Yaa abbaa ko, anas eebbisi!” jedhee sagalee ol fudhatee hiqqifatee booʼe.
And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray you, me also, father.
35 Yisihaaq garuu, “Obboleessi kee haxxummaadhaan dhufee eebba kee fudhateera” jedhe.
And he said to him, Your brother has come with subtlety, and taken 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.
And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for behold! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast you not left a blessing for me, father?
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?”
And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him your lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for you, son?
38 Esaawus abbaa isaatiin, “Yaa abbaa ko, ati eebbuma tokko qofa qabdaa? Yaa abbaa ko, anas eebbisi!” jedhe. Esaawus sagalee ol fudhatee booʼe.
And Esau said to his father, Hast you [only] one blessing, father? Bless, I pray you, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.
39 Abbaan isaa Yisihaaqis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Iddoon jireenya keetii lafa gabbataa irraa ni fagaata; fixeensa samii gubbaa irraas ni fagaata.
And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.
40 Ati goraadeedhaan jiraatta; obboleessa kees ni tajaajilta. Yeroo isaan mormitutti garuu waanjoo isaa cabsitee morma kee irraa buufta.”
And you shall live by your sword, and shall serve your brother; and there shall be [a time] when you shall break and loosen 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.
And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw near, that I may 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.
And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau your brother threatens you to kill you.
43 Kanaafuu yaa ilma koo na dhagaʼi; kaʼiitii gara obboleessa koo Laabaa kan Kaaraan keessa jiraatu sanaatti baqadhu.
Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
44 Hamma aariin obboleessa keetii qabbanaaʼutti yeroo gabaabaaf isa bira turi.
And dwell with him certain days, until your brother's anger
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?”
and rage depart from you, and he forget what you have done to him; and I will send and fetch you thence, lest at any time I should 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!”
And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, therefore should I live?
