Bilowgii 27
1 Markii Isxaaq gaboobay, oo ay indhihiisii u arag darnaayeen si uusan waxba arki karin, ayuu u yeedhay wiilkiisii weynaa oo Ceesaw ahaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow. Isaguna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan.
When Isaac was old, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
2 Markaasuu yidhi, Bal i eeg, haatan waan gaboobay, garanna maayo maalinta dhimashadayda.
and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
3 Sidaas daraaddeed waan ku baryayaaye, qaado hubkaaga, gabooyahaaga iyo qaansadaada, oo duurka u bax, oo hilib ugaadheed ii keen;
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 oo ii samee hilib macaan, oo ah kan aan jeclahay, oo ii keen, aan cunee, inay naftaydu kuu ducayso intaanan dhiman.
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 Rebeqahna way maqashay markii Isxaaq la hadlay wiilkiisii Ceesaw. Ceesawna duurkuu u kacay inuu ugaadh soo dilo oo uu keeno.
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 Markaasay Rebeqah la hadashay wiilkeedii Yacquub, oo tidhi, Waxaan maqlay aabbahaa oo la hadlaya walaalkaa Ceesaw, isagoo leh,
Rebekah said to her son, Jacob, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
7 Hilib ugaadheed ii keen, oo ii samee hilib macaan, aan cunee, oo aan kuugu duceeyee Rabbiga hortiis intaanan dhimane.
‘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 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilkaygiiyow, codkayga u addeec sida aan kuugu amro.
So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
9 Bal adhiga u kac, oo iiga keen laba waxar oo wanwanaagsan, oo waxaan aabbahaa uga samayn hilib macaan, oo ah kan uu jecel yahay,
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 adna aabbahaa waad u geeyn doontaa inuu cuno, si uu kuugu duceeyo intuusan dhiman.
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 Yacquubna wuxuu hooyadiis Rebeqah ku yidhi, Walaalkay Ceesaw waa nin xaad badan, anna waxaan ahay nin xaad yar.
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 Mindhaa aabbahay waa i taaban doonaa, oo markaasaan ula ekaan doonaa khaa'in, oo habaar baan isu soo jiidi doonaa, ducose ma heli doono.
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 Oo hooyadiis baa ku tidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, habaarkaagu aniga ha igu dhaco: codkayga uun addeec, oo orod oo ii keen iyaga.
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 Markaasuu tegey, oo soo kaxeeyey, oo u keenay hooyadiis, hooyadiisna waxay samaysay hilib macaan, oo ah sidii kii aabbihiis jeclaa.
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 Markaasaa Rebeqah waxay soo qaadday dharkii wanaagsanaa oo wiilkeedii weynaa oo ahaa Ceesaw, oo ay guriga ku haysay, oo waxay u xidhay wiilkeedii yaraa oo ahaa Yacquub;
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 markaasay waxarihii hargahoodii ku xidhay gacmihiisii iyo intii aan xaadda lahayn oo luquntiisii.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck.
17 Markaasay hilibkii macaanaa iyo kibistii ay diyaarisay u dhiibtay wiilkeedii Yacquub.
Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
18 Kolkaasuu aabbihiis u yimid, oo yidhi, Aabbow. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan. Kumaad tahay, wiilkaygiiyow?
Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
19 Yacquubna wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Waxaan ahay curadkaagii Ceesaw. Waan sameeyey sidii aad iigu amartay. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, kac oo fadhiiso oo cun hilibkaygan ugaadheed, si aad iigu ducayso.
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 Isxaaqna wuxuu wiilkiisii ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, sidee baad dhaqso ugu soo heshay? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga ah Ilaahaaga ayaa ii keenay.
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 Isxaaqna wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Soo dhowow, waan ku baryayaaye, aan ku taabtee, wiilkaygiiyow, bal inaad tahay wiilkaygii Ceesaw iyo in kale.
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 Yacquubna waa u dhowaaday aabbihiis Isxaaq; markaasuu taabtay oo yidhi, Codku waa codkii Yacquub, gacmuhuse waa gacmihii Ceesaw.
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 Mana uu garanin, maxaa yeelay, gacmihiisu xaad miidhan bay ahaayeen sidii gacmihii walaalkiis Ceesaw; sidaas daraaddeed wuu u duceeyey.
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 Kolkaasuu yidhi, War ma tahay wiilkaygii Ceesaw qudhiisii? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waan ahay.
But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am.”
25 Markaasuu ku yidhi. Bal ii soo dhowee, aan cunee wiilkayga hilibkiisa ugaadheed, si aan kuugu duceeyo. Kolkaasuu u soo dhoweeyey, oo isna wuu cunay: oo wuxuu kaloo u keenay khamri, wuuna cabbay.
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 Markaasaa aabbihiis Isxaaq ku yidhi, Bal ii soo dhowow, oo i dhunko, wiilkaygiiyow.
Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
27 Isna wuu u soo dhowaaday, oo wuu dhunkaday. Markaasuu ursaday dharkiisa, wuuna u duceeyey, oo yidhi, Bal eeg, urta wiilkaygu Waa sida urta duurka Rabbigu barakeeyey,
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 Ilaahu ha ku siiyo sayaxa samada, Iyo barwaaqada dhulka, Iyo hadhuudh iyo khamri badan.
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 Dadyowgu ha kuu adeegeen, Quruumuhuna ha kuu sujuudeen. Walaalahaa sayid u noqo, Wiilasha hooyadaana ha kuu sujuudeen. Ha inkaarnaado ku kasta oo ku inkaaraa, Ha ducaysnaado ku kasta oo kuu duceeyaa.
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 Markii Isxaaq dhammeeyey ducadii uu Yacquub u ducaynayay, Yacquubna ka tegey aabbihiis, ayaa walaalkiis Ceesaw ka yimid ugaadhsigii.
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
31 Oo isna hilib macaan buu sameeyey, oo u keenay aabbihiis; oo wuxuu ku yidhi aabbihiis, Aabbow kac, oo cun hilibkaygan ugaadheed, si aad iigu ducayso.
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 Markaasaa aabbihiis Isxaaq ku yidhi, Kumaad tahay? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ahay wiilkaaga ah curadkaaga Ceesaw.
His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
33 Markaasuu Isxaaq aad iyo aad u gariiray, oo yidhi, De yuu ahaa haddaba kii intuu hilib ugaadheed soo qaaday, ii keenay, oo aan kulli cunay intaadan iman ka hor, oo aan u duceeyey? Kaasu wuu ducaysnaan doonaa.
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 Ceesawna markuu maqlay hadalkii aabbihiis ayuu ku dhawaaqay dhawaaq aad iyo aad u weyn oo daran, oo wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Aabbahayow, anigana ii ducee.
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 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Walaalkaa baa khiyaano iila yimid oo ducadaadii qaatay.
But his father said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing!”
36 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Miyaanay ku habboonayn in magiciisa loo bixiyo Yacquub? Waayo, labadan goor buu i khiyaaneeyey. Curadnimadaydii buu qaatay; haatanna wuxuu qaatay ducadaydii. Oo wuxuu yidhi, Miyaadan duco ii reebin?
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 Isxaaqna wuu jawaabay oo wuxuu Ceesaw ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan isaga ka dhigay sayidkaagii, walaalihiis oo dhanna waxaan u siiyey isaga inay addoommo u noqdaan, hadhuudh iyo khamrina waan u ballanqaaday, ee maxaan haddaba adiga kuu sameeyaa, wiilkaygiiyow?
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 Ceesawna wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Aabbahayow, ducadaadu ma mid keliya baa? Ii ducee anigana sidoo kale, Aabbow. Markaasuu Ceesaw aad u qayliyey oo ooyay.
Esau said to his father, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
39 Markaasaa aabbihiis Isxaaq u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, rugtaadu waxay ahaan doontaa meel ka baxsan dhulka barwaaqadiisa Iyo sayaxa samada sare ka yimaada.
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 Oo waxaad ku noolaan doontaa seeftaada, walaalkaana waad u adeegi doontaa, Oo waxaa dhici doonta markaad xukunka qabsato Inaad harqoodkiisa surkaaga ka tuuri doonto.
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 Ceesawna wuxuu Yacquub u nebcaaday ducadii aabbihiis ugu duceeyey aawadeed. Ceesawna wuxuu isku yidhi, Maalmihii aabbahay loo barooran lahaa waa dhow yihiin; dabadeedna waan dili doonaa walaalkay Yacquub.
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 Rebeqahna waxaa loo sheegay hadalkii wiilkeedii weynaa oo ahaa Ceesaw; markaasay intay u cid dirtay u yeedhay wiilkeedii yaraa oo ahaa Yacquub, oo waxay ku tidhi isagii, Bal eeg, walaalkaa Ceesaw wuxuu isku qalbi qabowjiyaa talajirka uu ku talo jiro inuu ku dilo.
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 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed wiilkaygiiyow, codkayga addeec. Kac oo u carar walaalkay Laabaan xagga Haaraan;
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 oo dhawr maalmood isaga la joog, ilaa walaalkaa ciilku ka ba'ayo, iyo ilaa walaalkaa cadhaduu kuu qabo ka ba'ayso,
Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
45 oo uu ka illoobayo wixii aad ku samaysay: dabadeedna waan kuu soo cid diri doonaa, oo halkaasaan kaa soo kaxayn doonaa. Maxaan labadiinnaba isku maalin idiin waayayaa?
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 Rebeqahna waxay Isxaaq ku tidhi, Naftaydu waa rafaadsan tahay gabdhaha reer Xeed dartood. Haddii Yacquub naag ka guursado gabdhaha reer Xeed oo kuwan oo kale ah, kuwaas oo ah gabdhaha waddanka, noloshaydu maxay igu taraysaa?
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!”
