Génesis 27
1 Isaac estaba viejo y se estaba quedando ciego. Así que llamó a su hijo mayor Esaú, diciendo: “Hijo mío”. Y Esaú contestó: “Aquí estoy”.
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
2 “Ya estoy viejo”, dijo Isaac, “Es posible que muera pronto.
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Así que toma tu arco y tus flechas, ve a cazar y tráeme algo de carne.
Now therefore take, I pray you, your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
4 Prepárame una comida de buen sabor para que yo coma, y para bendecirte antes de morir”.
And make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless you before I die.
5 Rebeca escuchó lo que Isaac le dijo a Esaú. Así que cuando Esaú se fue al campo a buscar carne de caza,
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 Rebeca le dijo a su hijo Jacob: “¡Escucha! Acabo de oír a tu padre decirle a tu hermano,
And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak unto Esau your brother, saying,
7 ‘Tráeme carne de caza y prepárame una buena comida de buen sabor para comer y bendecirte en presencia del Señor antes de morir’.
Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.
8 Ahora, hijo, escúchame y haz exactamente lo que yo te diré.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9 Ve al rebaño y tráeme dos cabras jóvenes. Yo las cocinaré y prepararé la comida de buen sabor que a tu padre más le gusta.
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury food for your father, such as he loves:
10 Entonces se la llevarás a tu padre para comer, para que te bendiga en la presencia del Señor antes de morir”.
And you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, and that he may bless you before his death.
11 “Pero escucha”, le respondió Jacob a su madre Rebeca, “mi hermano Esaú es un hombre velludo, y yo soy lampiño.
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12 De pronto mi padre se dará cuenta cuando me toque. Entonces parecerá como que lo estoy engañando y en lugar de bendición, recibiré una maldición”.
My father possibly will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13 “Que la maldición caiga sobre mí, hijo mío”, respondió su madre. “Solo haz lo que te digo. Ve y tráeme las cabras jóvenes”.
And his mother said unto him, Upon me be your curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
14 Así que Jacob fue a buscarlas y las trajo para su madre, y ella preparó una comida de buen sabor, tal como le gustaba a su padre.
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
15 Entonces Rebeca fue y tomó la mejor ropa de su hijo mayor Esaú que ella tenía en su casa, y se la puso a Jacob, su hijo menor.
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
16 Y puso la piel de los corderos en sus manos, y en su cuello.
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17 Entonces le entregó a su hijo Jacob la comida y el pan que había preparado.
And she gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Jacob entró a ver a su padre, y lo llamó diciendo: “Padre mío, aquí estoy”. “¿Cuál de mis hijos eres?” preguntó Isaac.
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who are you, my son?
19 “Soy Esaú, tu hijo mayor”, le dijo Jacob a su padre. “Hice lo que me pediste. Por favor, siéntate y come la carne de caza que hice para ti, para que puedas bendecirme”.
And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau your first born; I have done according as you bade me: arise, I pray you, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.
20 “¿Cómo pudiste encontrar tan rápido a un animal, hijo mío?” le preguntó Isaac. “Es porque el Señor lo envió para mí”, respondió Jacob.
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD your God brought it to me.
21 “Ven aquí para que pueda tocarte, hijo mío”, le dijo Isaac a Jacob, “así sabré si eres en verdad Esaú”.
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray you, that I may feel you, my son, whether you be my very son Esau or not.
22 Así que Jacob se acercó a su padre Isaac, quien al tocarlo dijo: “Es la voz de Jacob, pero son las manos de Esaú”.
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23 Isaac no se dio cuenta de que era Jacob porque tenía las manos con vellos como Esaú, así que se preparó para bendecirlo.
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
24 “En realidad eres tú mi hijo Esaú?” preguntó de nuevo. “Si, soy yo”, respondió Jacob.
And he said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
25 Entonces dijo: “Hijo mío, tráeme de la comida de caza que me has preparado para comer, y así podré darte mi bendición”. Así que Jacob trajo para su padre Isaac comida para comer y vino para beber.
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
26 Después Isaac le dijo a Jacob: “Ven y bésame, hijo mío”.
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 Entonces Jacob se inclinó y lo besó, e Isaac pudo oler la ropa que Jacob estaba usando. Así que procedió a darle su bendición, pensado para sí: “El olor de mi hijo es como el olor de un campo que el Señor ha bendecido”.
And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed:
28 “¡Que Dios use el rocío del cielo y la tierra fértil para darte ricas cosechas de grano y vino nuevo!
Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29 Que los pueblos de distintas naciones te sirvan y se inclinen ante ti. Que todos los que te maldigan sean malditos, y que sean benditos todos los que te bendigan”.
Let people serve you, and nations bow down to you: be lord over your brethren, and let your mother's sons bow down to you: cursed be every one that curses you, and blessed be he that blesses you.
30 Después de que Isaac terminó de bendecir a Jacob—de hecho, Jacob ya se había ido de la presencia de su padre—Esaú regresó de su viaje de caza.
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 También había preparado una comida de buen sabor, y se la trajo a su padre. Entonces Esaúle dijo a Isaac, “Siéntate padre, y come de mi carne de caza para que puedas bendecirme”.
And he also had made savoury food, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me.
32 “¿Quién eres?” le preguntó Isaac. “Soy tu hijo Esaú, tu primogénito”, respondió.
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.
33 Isaac entonces comenzó a temblar y preguntó: “¿Quién fue el que se fue de cacería y me trajo la comida? Ya la comí toda antes de que llegaras y lo bendije. No puedo retirar su bendición ya”.
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
34 Cuando Esaú escuchó las palabras de su padre, gritó de rabia y amargura, y le rogó a su padre: “Por favor, bendíceme a mí también, padre!”
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
35 Pero Isaac respondió: “Tu hermano vino y me engañó. ¡Él se ha robado tu bendición!”
And he said, Your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your blessing.
36 “¡Con toda razón su nombre es Jacob, el impostor!” dijo Esaú. “Me ha engañado dos veces. ¡Primero se apropió de mi primogenitura y ahora se ha robado mi bendición! ¿No has guardado una bendición para mi?”
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?
37 Entonces Isaac le contestó a Esaú: “Lo he hecho tu señor, y he dicho que todos sus parientes serán sus siervos. He declarado que no le faltará el grano ni el nuevo vino. ¿Qué puedo dejar para ti, hijo mío?”
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto you, my son?
38 “¿Acaso solo tienes una bendición, padre mío?” preguntó Esaú. “¡Por favor bendíceme a mi también!” Entonces Esaú comenzó a llorar a gritos.
And Esau said unto his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 Entonces su padre Isaac declaró: “¡Escucha, hijo! Vivirás lejos de la tierra fértil, lejos del rocío que cae del cielo.
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
40 Te ganarás el sustento con espada, y serás el siervo de tu hermano. Pero cuando te rebeles, quitarás su yugo de tu cuello”.
And by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck.
41 Desde entonces Esaú sintió odio hacia Jacob, por causa de la bendición de su padre. Esaú se dijo a sí mismo: “Pronto llegará el tiempo en que lamentaré la muerte de mi padre. ¡Y entonces mataré a mi hermano Jacob!”
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
42 Sin embargo, Rebeca escuchó lo que había dicho Esaú, y mandó a llamar a Jacob. “Mira”, le dijo, “tu hermano Esaú siente consuelo en hacer planes de matarte.
And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, your brother Esau, as concerning you, does comfort himself, purposing to kill you.
43 Así que, escúchame atentamente, hijo mío, lo que te voy a decir. Vete inmediatamente a donde mi hermano Labán en Arám.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee you to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 Quédate con él hasta que la rabia de tu hermano se calme.
And tarry with him a few days, until your brother's fury turn away;
45 Cuando esté en calma y se le olvide, yo te mandaré a buscar de nuevo. Porque no quisiera perderlos a los dos en un solo día”
Until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forget that which you have done to him: then I will send, and fetch you from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
46 Entonces Rebeca fue y le dijo a Isaac: “Estoy cansada de estas mujeres hititas. ¡Están arruinando mi vida! ¡Prefiero morir antes de que Jacob llegue a casarse con una mujer hitita como ellas, una de esas habitantes locales!”
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
