Postanak 27
1 Kad Isak ostarje i oèi mu potamnješe, te ne viðaše, dozva Isava starijega sina svojega, i reèe mu: sine! A on odgovori: evo me.
When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
2 Tada reèe: evo ostario sam, ne znam kad æu umrijeti;
and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
3 Uzmi oružje svoje, tul i luk, i izidi u planinu, te mi ulovi lova;
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 I zgotovi mi jelo po mojoj volji, i donesi mi da jedem, pa da te blagoslovi duša moja dok nijesam umro.
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 A Reveka èu šta Isak reèe sinu svojemu Isavu. I Isav otide u planinu da ulovi lova i donese.
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 A Reveka reèe Jakovu sinu svojemu govoreæi: gle, èuh oca tvojega gdje besjedi s Isavom bratom tvojim i reèe:
Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
7 Donesi mi lova, i zgotovi jelo da jedem, pa da te blagoslovim pred Gospodom dok nijesam umro.
‘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 Nego sada, sine, poslušaj me što æu ti kazati.
So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
9 Idi sada k stadu i donesi dva dobra jareta, da zgotovim ocu tvojemu jelo od njih, kako rado jede.
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 Pa æeš unijeti ocu da jede i da te blagoslovi dok nije umro.
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 A Jakov reèe Reveci materi svojoj: ali je Isav brat moj rutav, a ja sam gladak;
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 Može me opipati otac, pa æe se osjetiti da sam ga htio prevariti, te æu navuæi na se prokletstvo mjesto blagoslova.
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 A mati mu reèe: neka prokletstvo tvoje, sine, padne na mene; samo me poslušaj, i idi i donesi mi.
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 Tada otišav uze i donese materi svojoj; a mati njegova zgotovi jelo kako jeðaše rado otac njegov.
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 Pa onda uze Reveka najljepše haljine starijega sina svojega, koje bijahu u nje kod kuæe, i obuèe Jakova mlaðega sina svojega.
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 I jareæim kožicama obloži mu ruke i vrat gdje bješe gladak.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
17 I dade Jakovu sinu svojemu u ruke jelo i hljeb što zgotovi.
Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
18 A on uðe k ocu svojemu i reèe: oèe. A on odgovori: evo me; koji si ti, sine?
Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
19 I Jakov reèe ocu svojemu: ja, Isav tvoj prvenac; uèinio sam kako si mi rekao; digni se, posadi se da jedeš lova mojega, pa da me blagoslovi duša tvoja.
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 A Isak reèe sinu svojemu: kad brže naðe, sine? A on reèe: Gospod Bog tvoj dade, te izaðe preda me.
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 Tada reèe Isak Jakovu: hodi bliže, sine, da te opipam jesi li sin moj Isav ili ne.
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 I pristupi Jakov k Isaku ocu svojemu, a on ga opipa, pa reèe: glas je Jakovljev, ali ruke su Isavove.
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 I ne pozna ga, jer mu ruke bjehu kao u Isava brata njegova rutave; zato ga blagoslovi;
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 I reèe mu: jesi li ti sin moj Isav? A on odgovori: ja sam.
But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
25 Tada reèe: a ti daj sine, da jedem lova tvojega, pa da te blagoslovi duša moja. I dade mu, te jede; pa mu donese i vina, te pi.
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 Potom Isak otac njegov reèe mu: hodi, sine, cjeluj me.
Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
27 I on pristupi i cjeliva ga; a Isak osjeti miris od haljina njegovijeh, i blagoslovi ga govoreæi: gle, miris sina mojega kao miris od polja koje blagoslovi Gospod.
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 Bog ti dao rose nebeske, i dobre zemlje i pšenice i vina izobila!
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 Narodi ti služili i plemena ti se klanjala! Bio gospodar braæi svojoj i klanjali ti se sinovi matere tvoje! Proklet bio koji tebe usproklinje a blagosloven koji tebe uzblagosilja!
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 A kad Isak blagoslovi Jakova, i Jakov otide ispred Isaka oca svojega, u taj èas doðe Isav brat njegov iz lova.
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
31 Pa zgotovi i on jelo i unese ocu svojemu, i reèe mu: ustani, oèe, da jedeš što ti je sin ulovio, pa da me blagoslovi duša tvoja.
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 A Isak otac njegov reèe mu: ko si ti? A on reèe: ja, sin tvoj, prvenac tvoj, Isav.
His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
33 Tada se prepade Isak, i reèe: ko? da gdje je onaj koji ulovi i donese mi lova, i od svega jedoh prije nego ti doðe, i blagoslovih ga? on æe i ostati blagosloven.
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 A kad èu Isav rijeèi oca svojega, vrište iza glasa i ožalosti se veoma, i reèe ocu svojemu: blagoslovi i mene, oèe.
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 A on mu reèe: doðe brat tvoj s prijevarom, i odnese tvoj blagoslov.
But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
36 A Isav reèe: pravo je što mu je ime Jakov, jer me veæ drugom prevari. Prvenaštvo mi uze, pa eto sada mi uze i blagoslov. Potom reèe: nijesi li i meni ostavio blagoslov?
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 A Isak odgovori, i reèe Isavu: eto sam ga postavio tebi za gospodara; i svu braæu njegovu dadoh mu da mu budu sluge; pšenicom i vinom ukrijepih ga; pa šta bih sada tebi uèinio, sine?
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 A Isav reèe ocu svojemu: eda li je samo jedan blagoslov u tebe, oèe? blagoslovi i mene, oèe. I stade iza glasa plakati Isav.
Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
39 A Isak otac njegov odgovarajuæi reèe mu: evo, stan æe ti biti na rodnoj zemlji i rosi nebeskoj ozgo.
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 Ali æeš živjeti od maèa svojega, i bratu æeš svojemu služiti; ali æe doæi vrijeme, te æeš pošto se naplaèeš skršiti jaram njegov s vrata svojega.
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 I Isav omrze ljuto na Jakova radi blagoslova, kojim ga blagoslovi otac, i govoraše u srcu svojem: blizu su žalosni dani oca mojega, tada æu ubiti Jakova brata svojega.
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 I kazaše Reveci rijeèi Isava sina njezina starijega, a ona poslavši dozva Jakova mlaðega sina svojega, i reèe mu: gle, Isav brat tvoj tješi se tijem što hoæe da te ubije.
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 Nego, sine, poslušaj što æu ti kazati; ustani i bježi k Lavanu bratu mojemu u 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 I ostani kod njega neko vrijeme dokle proðe srdnja brata tvojega,
Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
45 Dokle se gnjev brata tvojega odvrati od tebe, te zaboravi što si mu uèinio; a onda æu ja poslati da te dovedu odande. Zašto bih ostala bez obojice vas u jedan dan?
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 A Isaku reèe Reveka: omrzao mi je život radi ovijeh Hetejaka. Ako se Jakov oženi Hetejkom, kakom izmeðu kæeri ove zemlje, da što mi život?
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!”
