Genesisi 27
1 Isaka akati akwegura uye meso ake akanga aneta zvokuti akanga asisaoni, akadana Esau mwanakomana wake mukuru akati kwaari, “Mwanakomana wangu.” Iye akapindura akati, “Ndiri pano.”
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” Esau replied.
2 Isaka akati, “Zvino ndava murume mutana uye handizivi zuva rokufa kwangu.
“Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 Naizvozvo zvino tora zvombo zvako, goba rako nouta ugoenda kusango kuti unondivhimirawo mhuka.
Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
4 Undigadzirire zvokudya zvinondinakira ugondivigira kuti ndidye, kuitira kuti ndikupe maropafadzo angu ndisati ndafa.”
Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
5 Zvino Rabheka akanga akateerera Isaka paakanga achitaura nomwanakomana wake Esau. Esau akati aenda kusango kuti andovhima mhuka kuti agouya nayo,
Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
6 Rabheka akati kumwanakomana wake Jakobho, “Tarira, ndanzwa baba vako vachiti kumukoma wako Esau,
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7 ‘Ndivigirewo mhuka ugondigadzirira nyama inonaka kuti ndidye kuitira kuti ndigokupa maropafadzo angu ndisati ndafa.’
‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
8 Zvino, chinzwa mwanakomana wangu, nyatsoteerera uye uite zvandinokuudza.
Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
9 Enda kuzvipfuwo unondivigira mbudzana mbiri dzakaisvonaka, kuti ndigogadzirira baba vako nyama inonaka nenzira chaiyo yavanoda.
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
10 Ipapo ugoitora uende nayo kuna baba vako kuti vadye, kuitira kuti vagokupa maropafadzo avo vasati vafa.”
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Jakobho akati kuna Rabheka mai vake, “Asi mukoma wangu Esau munhu ane mvere, uye ini ndiri munhu ane ganda risina mvere.
Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
12 Ko, kana baba vangu vakandibata? Ndichava somunhu anovanyengera uye ndikazouyisa kutukwa pamusoro pangu pachinzvimbo chokuropafadzwa.”
What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
13 Mai vake vakati kwaari, “Mwanakomana wangu, rega kutukwa kuuye pamusoro pangu. Iwe ita zvandinoreva; enda unonditorera idzo.”
His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
14 Saka akaenda akandodzitora akauya nadzo kuna mai vake, uye vakagadzira nyama inonaka, nenzira chaiyo yaidikanwa nababa vake.
So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
15 Ipapo Rabheka akatora nguo dzakaisvonaka dzaEsau mwanakomana wake mukuru, dzaakanga anadzo mumba, akadzipfekedza mwanakomana wake muduku iye Jakobho.
And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
16 Akafukidzawo namatehwe embudzi, maoko ake uye nenzvimbo dzomutsipa wake dzakanga dzisina mvere.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 Ipapo akapa kumwanakomana wake Jakobho nyama inonaka nechingwa chaakanga abika.
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
18 Akaenda kuna baba vake akati, “Baba vangu.” Vakapindura vakati, “Ndiri pano mwana wangu. Ndianiko?”
So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
19 Jakobho akati kuna baba vake, “Ndini Esau dangwe renyu. Ndaita sezvamandiudza. Ndapota, mukai mudye nyama yemhuka yangu kuitira kuti mundipe maropafadzo enyu.”
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”
20 Isaka akabvunza mwanakomana wake akati, “Waiwana seiko nokukurumidza zvakadai, mwanakomana wangu?” Iye akapindura akati, “Jehovha Mwari wenyu aita kuti ndibudirire.”
But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
21 Ipapo Isaka akati kuna Jakobho, “Swedera pedyo kuti ndikubate, mwana wangu, kuti ndizive kana uri Esau mwanakomana wangu chaiye kana kwete.”
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
22 Jakobho akaswedera kuna baba vake Isaka, iye akamubata akati, “Inzwi, inzwi raJakobho, asi maoko maoko aEsau.”
So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Haana kugona kumuziva, nokuti maoko ake aiva nemvere dzakaita sedzomukoma wake Esau; saka akamuropafadza.
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
24 Akati, “Ndiwe mwanakomana wangu Esau chaiye here?” Akapindura akati, “Ndini.”
Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
25 Ipapo akati, “Mwanakomana wangu, ndipe nyama yako yemhuka ndidye, kuitira kuti ndikupe maropafadzo angu.” Jakobho akaiisa kwaari akadya; uye akauya newaini akanwa.
“Serve me,” said Isaac, “and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Ipapo baba vake Isaka vakati kwaari, “Uya pano mwanakomana wangu unditsvode.”
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
27 Saka akaenda kwaari iye akamutsvoda. Isaka akati anzwa kunhuhwira kwenguo dzake akamuropafadza achiti, “Haiwa kunhuhwira kwomwanakomana wangu kwakaita sokunhuhwira kwesango raropafadzwa naJehovha.
So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
28 Mwari ngaakupe dova rokudenga noupfumi hwenyika, zviyo zvakawanda newaini itsva.
May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
29 Ndudzi ngadzikushumire uye marudzi akupfugamire. Uve ishe wehama dzako, uye vanakomana vamai vako vakupfugamire. Vaya vanokutuka ngavatukwe uye vaya vanokuropfadza ngavaropafadzwe.”
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
30 Shure kwokunge Isaka apedza kumuropafadza uye Jakobho achangobva pamberi pababa vake, mukoma wake Esau akasvika achibva kundovhima.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
31 Naiyewo akagadzira nyama inonaka akauya nayo kuna baba vake. Ipapo akati kwavari, “Baba vangu, mukai mudye nyama yangu yemhuka, kuti mugondipa maropafadzo.”
He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32 Baba vake Isaka vakamubvunza vakati, “Ndiwe aniko?” Akapindura akati, “Ndini Esau mwanakomana wenyu wedangwe.”
But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
33 Isaka akadedera nehasha akati, “Ndianiko zvino, avhima mhuka akauya nayo kwandiri? Ndaidya iwe uchigere kusvika uye ndamuropafadza, uye zvirokwazvo acharopafadzwa!”
Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”
34 Esau akati anzwa mashoko ababa vake akaridza mhere nokuchema kukuru neshungu uye akati kuna baba vake, “Ndiropafadzei neniwo, baba vangu!”
When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”
35 Asi ivo vakati, “Mununʼuna wako auya nokunyengera akatora maropafadzo ako.”
But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36 Esau akati, “Haana kutumidzwa zita chairo here rokuti Jakobho? Akandinyengera kaviri kose: Akatora udangwe hwangu, uye zvino atora maropafadzo angu!” Ipapo akabvunza akati, “Ko, hamuna kundichengeterawo kana ropafadzo here?”
So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
37 Isaka akapindura Esau akati, “Ndamuita ishe wako uye ndakaita hama dzake dzose varanda vake, uye ndamusimbisa nezviyo newaini itsva. Saka chiiko chandichagona kukuitira mwana wangu?”
But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”
38 Esau akati kuna baba vake, “Munongova neropafadzo imwe chete here, baba vangu? Ndiropafadzeiwo, baba vangu!” Ipapo Esau akachema achiridza mhere.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
39 Baba vake Isaka vakamupindura vakati, “Ugaro hwako huchava kure nepfuma yenyika, kure nedova rokudenga kumusoro.
His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.
40 Iwe uchararama nomunondo uye uchashumira mununʼuna wako. Asi paunenge woshaya zororo uchabvisa joko rake kubva pamutsipa wako.”
You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
41 Esau akavenga Jakobho nokuda kwokuropafadzwa kwaakapiwa nababa vake. Akati mumwoyo make, “Mazuva okuchema baba vangu ava pedyo; ipapo ndichauraya mununʼuna wangu Jakobho.”
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Rabheka akati audzwa zvakanga zvataurwa nomwanakomana wake mukuru Esau, akatuma munhu kuna Jakobho mwanakomana wake muduku akati kwaari, “Mukoma wako Esau ari kuzvinyaradza nepfungwa dzokuda kukuuraya.
When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.
43 Naizvozvo zvino, mwanakomana wangu, chiita zvandinokuudza: Tiza izvozvi uende kuhanzvadzi yangu Rabhani kuHarani.
So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 Ugare naye kwechinguva kusvikira shungu dzomukoma wako dzaserera.
Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
45 Mukoma wako paachazenge asisina kukutsamwira uye akanganwa zvawakamuitira, ini ndichatuma shoko kwauri rokuti uchidzoka kubva ikoko. Ndorasikirwa nemi seiko muri vaviri zuva rimwe chete?”
until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 Ipapo Rabheka akati kuna Isaka, “Ndinosemburwa noupenyu nokuda kwavakadzi vechiHiti ava. Kana Jakobho akatora mukadzi anobva pakati pavakadzi vechiHiti vakaita savava, kurarama kwangu hakungavi namaturo.”
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
