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.”
And it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, 'My son;' and he saith unto him, 'Here [am] I.'
2 Isaka akati, “Zvino ndava murume mutana uye handizivi zuva rokufa kwangu.
And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
3 Naizvozvo zvino tora zvombo zvako, goba rako nouta ugoenda kusango kuti unondivhimirawo mhuka.
and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,
4 Undigadzirire zvokudya zvinondinakira ugondivigira kuti ndidye, kuitira kuti ndikupe maropafadzo angu ndisati ndafa.”
and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee before I die.'
5 Zvino Rabheka akanga akateerera Isaka paakanga achitaura nomwanakomana wake Esau. Esau akati aenda kusango kuti andovhima mhuka kuti agouya nayo,
And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision — to bring in;
6 Rabheka akati kumwanakomana wake Jakobho, “Tarira, ndanzwa baba vako vachiti kumukoma wako Esau,
and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, 'Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 ‘Ndivigirewo mhuka ugondigadzirira nyama inonaka kuti ndidye kuitira kuti ndigokupa maropafadzo angu ndisati ndafa.’
Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
8 Zvino, chinzwa mwanakomana wangu, nyatsoteerera uye uite zvandinokuudza.
'And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:
9 Enda kuzvipfuwo unondivigira mbudzana mbiri dzakaisvonaka, kuti ndigogadzirira baba vako nyama inonaka nenzira chaiyo yavanoda.
Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;
10 Ipapo ugoitora uende nayo kuna baba vako kuti vadye, kuitira kuti vagokupa maropafadzo avo vasati vafa.”
and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.
11 Jakobho akati kuna Rabheka mai vake, “Asi mukoma wangu Esau munhu ane mvere, uye ini ndiri munhu ane ganda risina mvere.
And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, 'Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I a smooth man,
12 Ko, kana baba vangu vakandibata? Ndichava somunhu anovanyengera uye ndikazouyisa kutukwa pamusoro pangu pachinzvimbo chokuropafadzwa.”
it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, and not a blessing;'
13 Mai vake vakati kwaari, “Mwanakomana wangu, rega kutukwa kuuye pamusoro pangu. Iwe ita zvandinoreva; enda unonditorera idzo.”
and his mother saith to him, 'On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.'
14 Saka akaenda akandodzitora akauya nadzo kuna mai vake, uye vakagadzira nyama inonaka, nenzira chaiyo yaidikanwa nababa vake.
And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath loved;
15 Ipapo Rabheka akatora nguo dzakaisvonaka dzaEsau mwanakomana wake mukuru, dzaakanga anadzo mumba, akadzipfekedza mwanakomana wake muduku iye Jakobho.
and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;
16 Akafukidzawo namatehwe embudzi, maoko ake uye nenzvimbo dzomutsipa wake dzakanga dzisina mvere.
and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
17 Ipapo akapa kumwanakomana wake Jakobho nyama inonaka nechingwa chaakanga abika.
and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.
18 Akaenda kuna baba vake akati, “Baba vangu.” Vakapindura vakati, “Ndiri pano mwana wangu. Ndianiko?”
And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, 'My father;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I; who [art] thou, 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.”
And Jacob saith unto his father, 'I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
20 Isaka akabvunza mwanakomana wake akati, “Waiwana seiko nokukurumidza zvakadai, mwanakomana wangu?” Iye akapindura akati, “Jehovha Mwari wenyu aita kuti ndibudirire.”
And Isaac saith unto his son, 'What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, 'That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come before me.'
21 Ipapo Isaka akati kuna Jakobho, “Swedera pedyo kuti ndikubate, mwana wangu, kuti ndizive kana uri Esau mwanakomana wangu chaiye kana kwete.”
And Isaac saith unto Jacob, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, my son Esau, or not.'
22 Jakobho akaswedera kuna baba vake Isaka, iye akamubata akati, “Inzwi, inzwi raJakobho, asi maoko maoko aEsau.”
And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, 'The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.'
23 Haana kugona kumuziva, nokuti maoko ake aiva nemvere dzakaita sedzomukoma wake Esau; saka akamuropafadza.
And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,
24 Akati, “Ndiwe mwanakomana wangu Esau chaiye here?” Akapindura akati, “Ndini.”
and saith, 'Thou art he — my son Esau?' and he saith, '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.
And he saith, 'Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son's provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;' and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.
26 Ipapo baba vake Isaka vakati kwaari, “Uya pano mwanakomana wangu unditsvode.”
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Come nigh, I pray thee, 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.
and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, 'See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath blessed;
28 Mwari ngaakupe dova rokudenga noupfumi hwenyika, zviyo zvakawanda newaini itsva.
and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine;
29 Ndudzi ngadzikushumire uye marudzi akupfugamire. Uve ishe wehama dzako, uye vanakomana vamai vako vakupfugamire. Vaya vanokutuka ngavatukwe uye vaya vanokuropfadza ngavaropafadzwe.”
peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.'
30 Shure kwokunge Isaka apedza kumuropafadza uye Jakobho achangobva pamberi pababa vake, mukoma wake Esau akasvika achibva kundovhima.
And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come in from his hunting;
31 Naiyewo akagadzira nyama inonaka akauya nayo kuna baba vake. Ipapo akati kwavari, “Baba vangu, mukai mudye nyama yangu yemhuka, kuti mugondipa maropafadzo.”
and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, 'Let my father arise, and eat of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.'
32 Baba vake Isaka vakamubvunza vakati, “Ndiwe aniko?” Akapindura akati, “Ndini Esau mwanakomana wenyu wedangwe.”
And Isaac his father saith to him, 'Who [art] thou?' and he saith, 'I [am] thy son, thy first-born, Esau;'
33 Isaka akadedera nehasha akati, “Ndianiko zvino, avhima mhuka akauya nayo kwandiri? Ndaidya iwe uchigere kusvika uye ndamuropafadza, uye zvirokwazvo acharopafadzwa!”
and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, 'Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? — yea, blessed is he.'
34 Esau akati anzwa mashoko ababa vake akaridza mhere nokuchema kukuru neshungu uye akati kuna baba vake, “Ndiropafadzei neniwo, baba vangu!”
When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, 'Bless me, me also, O my father;'
35 Asi ivo vakati, “Mununʼuna wako auya nokunyengera akatora maropafadzo ako.”
and he saith, 'Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy 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?”
And he saith, 'Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he saith also, 'Hast thou not kept back 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?”
And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, 'Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, my son?'
38 Esau akati kuna baba vake, “Munongova neropafadzo imwe chete here, baba vangu? Ndiropafadzeiwo, baba vangu!” Ipapo Esau akachema achiridza mhere.
And Esau saith unto his father, 'One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
39 Baba vake Isaka vakamupindura vakati, “Ugaro hwako huchava kure nepfuma yenyika, kure nedova rokudenga kumusoro.
And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, 'Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above;
40 Iwe uchararama nomunondo uye uchashumira mununʼuna wako. Asi paunenge woshaya zororo uchabvisa joko rake kubva pamutsipa wako.”
and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy neck.'
41 Esau akavenga Jakobho nokuda kwokuropafadzwa kwaakapiwa nababa vake. Akati mumwoyo make, “Mazuva okuchema baba vangu ava pedyo; ipapo ndichauraya mununʼuna wangu Jakobho.”
And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, 'The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.'
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.
And the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, 'Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee — to slay thee;
43 Naizvozvo zvino, mwanakomana wangu, chiita zvandinokuudza: Tiza izvozvi uende kuhanzvadzi yangu Rabhani kuHarani.
and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,
44 Ugare naye kwechinguva kusvikira shungu dzomukoma wako dzaserera.
and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's fury turn back,
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?”
till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same 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.”
And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, 'I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these — from the daughters of the land — why do I live?'
