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 after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I [am here].
2 “Ya estoy viejo”, dijo Isaac, “Es posible que muera pronto.
And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and 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 then take the weapons, both your quiver and your bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
4 Prepárame una comida de buen sabor para que yo coma, y para bendecirte antes de morir”.
and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them 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 Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
6 Rebeca le dijo a su hijo Jacob: “¡Escucha! Acabo de oír a tu padre decirle a tu hermano,
And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard your father speaking to 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 prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless you before the Lord before I die.
8 Ahora, hijo, escúchame y haz exactamente lo que yo te diré.
Now then, my son, listen to me, as 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.
And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for your father, as he likes.
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 them in to your father, and he shall eat, that your father may bless you before he dies.
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 his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I 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”.
Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, 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 to him, On me be your curse, son; only listen to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
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.
So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
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 Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.
16 Y puso la piel de los corderos en sus manos, y en su cuello.
And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
17 Entonces le entregó a su hijo Jacob la comida y el pan que había preparado.
And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
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 brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who are you, 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 to his father, I, Esau your firstborn, have done as you told me; rise, 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 to his son, What is this which you have quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord your God presented before 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 to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel you, son, if you are my 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 drew near to his father Isaac, 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 knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and 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 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 hither, and I will eat of your venison, son, that my soul may bless you; and he brought [it] near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Después Isaac le dijo a Jacob: “Ven y bésame, hijo mío”.
And Isaac his father said to him, Draw near to me, and kiss me, 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 drew near and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant 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!
And may God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance 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”.
And let nations serve you, and princes bow down to you, and be you lord of your brother, and the sons of your father shall do you reverence; accursed is he that curses you, and blessed is 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 after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had 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 meats and brought them to his father; and he said to 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 to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your firstborn son 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 was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before you came, and I have blessed him, 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 it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray you, me also, father.
35 Pero Isaac respondió: “Tu hermano vino y me engañó. ¡Él se ha robado tu bendición!”
And he said to him, Your brother has come with subtlety, and taken 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, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for behold! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast you not left a blessing for me, father?
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 to Esau, If I have made him your lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for you, 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 to his father, Hast you [only] one blessing, father? Bless, I pray you, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud 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 to him, Behold, your dwelling shall be of 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 you shall live by your sword, and shall serve your brother; and there shall be [a time] when you shall break and loosen 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 was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw near, that I may kill 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 the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau your brother threatens you 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 then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
44 Quédate con él hasta que la rabia de tu hermano se calme.
And dwell with him certain days, until your brother's anger
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”
and rage depart from you, and he forget what you have done to him; and I will send and fetch you thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved 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 Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, therefore should I live?
