1 Мојсијева 27
1 Кад Исак остаре и очи му потамнеше, те не видеше, дозва Исава старијег сина свог, и рече му: Сине! А он одговори: Ево ме.
When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
2 Тада рече: Ево остарео сам, не знам кад ћу умрети;
and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
3 Узми оружје своје, тул и лук, и изађи у планину, те ми улови лов;
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 И зготови ми јело по мојој вољи, и донеси ми да једем, па да те благослови душа моја док нисам умро.
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 А Ревека чу шта Исак рече сину свом Исаву. И Исав отиде у планину да улови лов и донесе.
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 А Ревека рече Јакову, сину свом говорећи: Гле, чух оца твог где говори с Исавом, братом твојим и рече:
Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
7 Донеси ми лов, и зготови јело да једем, па да те благословим пред Господом док нисам умро.
‘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 Него сада, сине, послушај ме шта ћу ти казати.
So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
9 Иди сада к стаду и донеси два добра јарета, да зготовим оцу твом јело од њих, како радо једе.
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 Па ћеш унети оцу да једе и да те благослови док није умро.
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 А Јаков рече Ревеци матери својој: Али је Исав брат мој рутав, а ја сам гладак;
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 Може ме опипати отац, па ће се осетити да сам га хтео преварити, те ћу навући на се проклетство место благослова.
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 А мати му рече: Нека проклетство твоје, сине падне на мене; само ме послушај, и иди и донеси ми.
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 Тада отишавши узе и донесе матери својој; а мати његова зготови јело како јеђаше радо отац његов.
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 Па онда узе Ревека најлепше хаљине старијег сина свог, које беху у ње код куће, и обуче Јакова млађег сина свог.
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 И јарећим кожицама обложи му руке и врат где беше гладак.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
17 И даде Јакову сину свом у руке јело и хлеб што зготови.
Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
18 А он уђе к оцу свом и рече: Оче. А он одговори: Ево ме; који си ти, сине?
Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
19 И Јаков рече оцу свом: Ја, Исав твој првенац; учинио сам како си ми рекао; дигни се, посади се да једеш лов мој, па да ме благослови душа твоја.
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 А Исак рече сину свом: Кад брже нађе, сине? А он рече: Господ Бог твој даде, те изађе преда ме.
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 Тада рече Исак Јакову: Ходи ближе, сине да те опипам јеси ли син мој Исав или не.
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 И приступи Јаков к Исаку оцу свом, а он га опипа, па рече: Глас је Јаковљев, али руке су Исавове.
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 И не позна га, јер му руке беху као у Исава брата његовог рутаве: Зато га благослови;
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 И рече му: Јеси ли ти син мој Исав? А он одговори: Ја сам.
But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
25 Тада рече: А ти дај, сине, да једем лов твој, па да те благослови душа моја. И даде му, те једе; па му донесе и вино те пи.
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 Потом Исак, отац његов рече му: Ходи сине, целивај ме.
Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
27 И он приступи и целива га; а Исак осети мирис од хаљина његових, и благослови га говорећи: Гле, мирис сина мог као мирис од поља које благослови Господ.
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 Бог ти дао росе небеске, и добре земље и пшенице и вина изобила!
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 Народи ти служили и племена ти се клањала! Био господар браћи својој и клањали ти се синови матере твоје! Проклет био који тебе успроклиње, а благословен који тебе узблагосиља!
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 А кад Исак благослови Јакова, и Јаков отиде испред Исака оца свог, у тај час дође Исав брат његов из лова.
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
31 Па зготови и он јело и унесе оцу свом, и рече му: Устани, оче, да једеш шта ти је син уловио, па да ме благослови душа твоја.
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 А Исак отац његов рече му: Ко си ти? А он рече: Ја, син твој, првенац твој Исав.
His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
33 Тада се препаде Исак, и рече: Ко? Да где је онај који улови и донесе ми лова, и од свега једох пре него ти дође, и благослових га? Он ће и остати благословен.
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 А кад чу Исав речи оца свог, врисну гласно и ожалости се веома, и рече оцу свом: Благослови и мене, оче.
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 А он му рече: Дође брат твој с преваром, и однесе твој благослов.
But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
36 А Исав рече: Право је што му је име Јаков, јер ме већ другом превари. Првенаштво ми узе, па ето сада ми узе и благослов. Потом рече: Ниси ли и мени оставио благослов?
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 А Исак одговори, и рече Исаву: Ето сам га поставио теби за господара; и сву браћу његову дадох му да му буду слуге; пшеницом и вином укрепих га; па шта бих сада теби учинио, сине?
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 И Исав рече оцу свом: Еда ли је само један благослов у тебе, оче? Благослови и мене, оче. И стаде гласно плакати Исав.
Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
39 А Исак отац његов одговарајући рече му: Ево, стан ће ти бити на родној земљи и роси небеској озго.
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 Али ћеш живети од мача свог, и брату ћеш свом служити; али ће доћи време, те ћеш пошто се наплачеш скршити јарам његов с врата свог.
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 И Исав омрзе љуто на Јакова ради благослова, којим га благослови отац, и говораше у срцу свом: Близу су жалосни дани оца мог, тада ћу убити Јакова брата свог.
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 И казаше Ревеци речи Исава сина њеног старијег, а она пославши дозва Јакова млађег сина свог, и рече му: Гле, Исав брат твој теши се тиме што хоће да те убије.
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 Него, сине, послушај шта ћу ти казати; устани и бежи к Лавану брату мом у Харан.
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 И остани код њега неко време докле прође срдња брата твог,
Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
45 Докле се гнев брата твог одврати од тебе, те заборави шта си му учинио; а онда ћу ја послати да те доведу оданде. Зашто бих остала без обојице вас у један дан?
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 А Исаку рече Ревека: Омрзао ми је живот ради ових Хетејака. Ако се Јаков ожени Хетејком, каквом између кћери ове земље, на шта ми живот?
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!”
