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”.
It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyesight was failing so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, "My son?" He said to him, "Here I am."
2 “Ya estoy viejo”, dijo Isaac, “Es posible que muera pronto.
He said, "Look, I am old now. I do not know the day of my death.
3 Así que toma tu arco y tus flechas, ve a cazar y tráeme algo de carne.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt down a wild animal for me.
4 Prepárame una comida de buen sabor para que yo coma, y para bendecirte antes de morir”.
Make me the tasty food that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I 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,
Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went out to the field to hunt for a wild animal and bring it back to his father.
6 Rebeca le dijo a su hijo Jacob: “¡Escucha! Acabo de oír a tu padre decirle a tu hermano,
And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Look, I heard your father speak 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 a wild animal and prepare for me some tasty food, that I may eat it and bless you in my presence 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 get me from there two choice young goats. I will prepare them in a tasty way for your father, the way he likes it.
10 Entonces se la llevarás a tu padre para comer, para que te bendiga en la presencia del Señor antes de morir”.
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so 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.
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Look, 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”.
What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, 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”.
His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for 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.
He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.
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.
Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16 Y puso la piel de los corderos en sus manos, y en su cuello.
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 Entonces le entregó a su hijo Jacob la comida y el pan que había preparado.
She handed the tasty food and the bread which she had prepared to 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.
He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. 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”.
Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please sit up and eat what I hunted so that you can 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.
Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because your God gave me success."
21 “Ven aquí para que pueda tocarte, hijo mío”, le dijo Isaac a Jacob, “así sabré si eres en verdad Esaú”.
Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really 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”.
Jacob went near to Isaac his father. 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.
He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau. So he blessed him.
24 “En realidad eres tú mi hijo Esaú?” preguntó de nuevo. “Si, soy yo”, respondió Jacob.
He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" 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.
He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of what my son caught so that I can bless you." He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Después Isaac le dijo a Jacob: “Ven y bésame, hijo mío”.
His father Isaac said to 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”.
He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the scent of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, "Look, the scent of my son is as the scent of a field which God has blessed.
28 “¡Que Dios use el rocío del cielo y la tierra fértil para darte ricas cosechas de grano y vino nuevo!
God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new 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 peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who 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.
It happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just left 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”.
He also made some tasty food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father get up and eat of what his son caught, so that you may bless me."
32 “¿Quién eres?” le preguntó Isaac. “Soy tu hijo Esaú, tu primogénito”, respondió.
Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?" 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”.
Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who was it then that hunted an animal and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will 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!”
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out loudly and bitterly, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."
35 Pero Isaac respondió: “Tu hermano vino y me engañó. ¡Él se ha robado tu bendición!”
He said, "Your brother came with deceit, 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?”
He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has taken what should have been mine these two times. He took away my birthright. Look, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you 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?”
Isaac answered Esau, "Look, I have made him your lord, and I have made all of his brothers his servants. And I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then can I do for 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.
Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." 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.
Isaac his father answered him, "Look, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky 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”.
By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake 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!”
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will 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.
The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, "Look, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning 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 to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 Quédate con él hasta que la rabia de tu hermano se calme.
Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns 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 against you subsides, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and get you from there. Why should I lose both of you 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!”
Rebekah said to Isaac, "I loathe my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, what good is my life?"
