Mwanzo 27
1 Isaka alipozeeka na macho yake kuwa mazito kiasi cha kutokuona, alimwita Esau, mwanawe mkubwa, na akamwambia, “Mwanangu. Yeye akasema, “Mimi hapa.”
And it came to passe that Isaac wexed olde and his eyes were dymme so that he coude nat see. Tha called he Esau his eldest sonne and sayde vnto him: mi sonne. And he sayde vnto hym: heare am I.
2 Akamwambia, “Tazama, mimi nimezeeka. Sijui siku ya kufa kwangu.
And he sayde: beholde I am olde ad knowe not the daye of mi deth:
3 Kwahiyo chukua silaha zako, podo lako na upinde wako, na uende uwandani ukaniwindie mnyama.
Now therfore take thi weapes thy quiver and thi bowe and gett the to the feldes and take me some venyson
4 Uniandalie chakula kitamu, aina ile niipendayo, uniletee ili nikile na kukubariki kabla sijafa.
and make me meate such as I loue and brynge it me and let me eat that my soull may blesse the before that I dye:
5 Basi Rebeka akasikia Isaka alipoongea na Esau mwanawe. Esau akaenda uwandani kuwinda mawindo na kuja nayo.
But Rebecca hard whe Isaac spake to Esau his sonne. And as soone as Esau was gone to the felde to catche venyson and to brige it
6 Rebeka akaongea na Yakobo mwanawe na kumwambia, “Tazama, nimemsikia baba yako akiongea na Esau ndugu yako. Akasema,
she spake vnto Iacob hir sonne sainge? Behold I haue herde thi father talkinge with Esau thy brother and saynge:
7 'Niletee mnyama na unitengenezee chakula kitamu, ili nikile na kukubariki mbele za Yahwe kabla ya kufa kwangu.'
bringe me venyson and make me meate that I maye eate and blesse the before the LORde yer I dye.
8 Kwa hiyo sasa, mwanangu, usikilize sauti yangu kama ninavyokuagiza,
Now therfore my sonne heare my voyce in that which I comaunde the:
9 Nenda kundini, na uniletee wanambuzi wawili; nami nitaandaa chakula kitamu kutokana nao kwa ajili ya baba yako, kwa namna aipendayo.
gett the to the flocke and bringe me thece. ij. good kiddes and I will make meate of the for thi father soch as he loueth.
10 Utakipeleka kwa baba yako, ili kwamba akile, na kukubariki kabla hajafa.”
And thou shalt brige it to thi father and he shal eate yt he maye blysse the before his deth
11 Yakobo akamwambia Rebeka mama yake, “Tazama, Ndugu yangu Esau ni mtu mwenye manyoya, na mimi ni mtu laini.
Than sayde Iacob to Rebecca his mother. Beholde Esau mi brother is rugh and I am smooth.
12 Pengine baba yangu atanigusa, nami nitaonekana kama mdanganyifu kwake. Nami nitajiletea laana badala ya baraka.”
Mi father shal peradueture fele me ad I shal seme vnto hi as though I wet aboute to begyle hi and so shall he brige a curse vpo me and not a blessige:
13 Mama yake akamwambia, “Mwanangu, acha laana yoyote iwe juu yangu. Wewe sikiliza sauti yangu, nenda, uniletee.”
and his mother saide vnto him. Vppo me be thi curse my sonne only heare my voyce and goo and fetch me them.
14 Hivyo Yakobo alikwenda na kuchukua wanambuzi na kuwaleta kwa mama yake, na mama yake akaandaa chakula kitamu, kama alichokipenda baba yake.
And Iacob went ad fett them and brought them to his mother. And his mother made meate of them accordinge as his father loued
15 Rebeka akachukua nguo nzuri za Esau, mwanawe mkubwa, alizokuwa nazo nyumbani mwake, na akamvika Yakobo, mwanawe mdogo.
And she went and fett goodly rayment of hir eldest sonne Esau which she had in the house with hir and put them vpon Iacob hir yongest sonne
16 Akamvalisha ngozi ya mwanambuzi katika mikono yake na katika sehemu laini za shingo yake.
ad she put the skynnes vpon his hades and apon the smooth of his necke.
17 Akaweka katika mikono ya Yakobo kile chakula kitamu na mkate aliokuwa ameuandaa.
And she put ye meate and brede which she had made in the hode of hir sonne Iacob
18 Yakobo akaenda kwa baba yake na kumwambia, “Babangu.” Yeye akasema, “Mimi hapa; U nani wewe, mwanangu?”
And he went in to his father saynge: my father And he aswered: here am I who art thou my sonne?
19 Yakobo akamwambia baba yake, “Mimi ni Esau mzaliwa wako wa kwanza; nimefanya kama ulivyoniagiza. Basi kaa na ule sehemu ya mawindo yangu, ili unibariki.”
And Iacob sayde vnto his father: I am Esau thy eldest sonne I haue done acordinge as thou baddest me vp and sytt and eate of my venyson that thi soule maye blesse me.
20 Isaka akamwambia mwanawe, “Imekuwaje umepata kwa haraka hivyo, mwanangu?” Akasema, “Ni kwa sababu Yahwe Mungu wako ameniletea.”
But Isaac sayde vnto his sonne. How cometh it that thou hast fownde it so quicly my sonne? He answered: The LORde thy god brought it to my hande.
21 Isaka akamwambia Yakobo, “Njoo karibu nami, ili nikuguse, mwanangu, ili nijue kama kweli wewe ni mwanangu Esau au hapana.”
Than sayde Isaac vnto Iacob: come nere and let me fele the my sonne whether thou be my sonne Esau or not.
22 Yakobo akamkaribia Isaka baba yake; na Isaka akamgusa na kusema, “Sauti ni sauti ya Yakobo, lakini mikono ni mkikono ya Esau.”
Than went Iacob to Isaac his father and he felt him and sayde the voyce is Iacobs voyce but the hades ar ye hades of Esau.
23 Isaka hakumtambua, kwa sababu mikono yake ilikuwa na manyoya, kama mikono ya Esau ndugu yake, hivyo Isaka akambariki.”
And he knewe him not because his handes were rough as his brother Esaus handes: And so he blessed him.
24 Akasema, “Wewe kweli ni mwanangu Esau?” Naye akasema, “Ni mimi.”
And he axed him art thou my sonne Esau? And he sayde: that I am.
25 Isaka akasema, “Kilete chakula kwangu, na nile mawindo yako, ili nikubariki.” Yakobo akakileta chakula kwake. Isaka akala, na Yakobo akamletea mvinyo, akanywa.
Than sayde he: brynge me and let me eate of my sonnes venyson that my soule maye blesse the. And he broughte him and he ate. And he broughte him wyne also and he dranke.
26 Kisha Isaka baba yake akamwambia, “Sogea karibu nami na unibusu, mwanangu.”
And his father Isaac sayde vnto him: come nere and kysse me my sonne.
27 Yakobo akasogea na kumbusu, naye akanusa harufu ya nguo zake na kumbariki. Akasema, “Tazama, harufu ya mwanangu ni kama harufu ya shamba alilolibariki Yahwe.
And he wet to him and kissed him. And he smelled ye sauoure of his raymet and blessed hi and sayde See ye smell of my sone is as ye smell of a feld which the lorde hath blessed.
28 Mungu akupe sehemu ya umande wa mbinguni, sehemu ya unono wa nchi, na wingi wa nafaka na mvinyo mpya.
God geue the of ye dewe of heave and of the fatnesse of the erth and pletie of corne and wyne.
29 Watu na wakutumikie na mataifa yainame chini yako. Uwe bwana juu ya ndugu zako, na wana wa mama yako wainame chini yako. Kila anayekulaani na alaaniwe; na kila anayekubariki abarikiwe.”
People be thy servauntes and natios bowe vnto the. Be lorde ouer thy brethre and thy mothers children stoupe vnto the. Cursed be he yt curseth the and lessed be he that blesseth the.
30 Mara Isaka alipomaliza kumbariki Yakobo, na Yakobo ndo ametoka mbele ya Isaka baba yake, Esau ndugu yake akaja kutoka kuwinda.
As soone as Isaac had made an end of blessig Iacob and Iacob was scace gone out fro the preasence of Isaac his father: then came Esau his brother fro his huntynge:
31 Yeye pia akaandaa chakula kitamu na kukileta kwa baba yake. Akamwambia baba yake, “Baba, inuka na ule baadhi ya mawindo ya mwanao, ili uweze kunibariki.”
And had made also meate and brought it in vnto his father and sayde vnto him: Aryse my father and eate of thy sonnes venyson that thy soule maye blesse me.
32 Isaka baba yake akamwambia, “U nani wewe? Akasema, “Mimi ni mwanao, Esau, mzaliwa wako wa kwanza.”
Tha his father Isaac sayde vnto him. Who art thou? he answered I am thy eldest sonne Esau.
33 Isaka akatetemeka sana na kusema, “Alikuwa nani aliyewinda mawindo nakuniletea? Nilikula chote kabla haujaja, nami nimembariki. Atabarikiwa, kwa kweli.”
And Isaac was greatly astoyned out of mesure and sayde: Where is he then that hath huted venyson and broughte it me and I haue eaten of all before thou camest and haue blessed him ad he shall be blessed styll.
34 Esau aliposikia maneno ya baba yake, akalia kwa kilio kikubwa na cha uchungu sana, na akamwambia baba yake, “Unibariki nami, mimi pia, babangu.”
Whe Esau herde the wordes of his father he cryed out greatly and bitterly aboue mesure and sayde vnto his father: blesse me also my father.
35 Isaka akasema, “Ndugu yako alikuja hapa kwa hila na amechukua baraka yako.”
And he sayde thy brother came with subtilte ad hath take awaye thy blessynge.
36 Esau akasema, “Je hakuitwa Yakobo kwa haki? Kwa maana amenidanganya mara mbili hizi. Alichukua haki ya uzaliwa wangu wa kwanza, na tazama, sasa amechukua baraka yangu.” Na akasema, “Je haukuniachia baraka?
Than sayde he: He maye well be called Iacob for he hath vndermyned me now. ij. tymes fyrst he toke awaye my byrthrighte: and se now hath he taken awaye my blessynge also. And he sayde hast thou kepte neuer a blessynge for me?
37 Isaka akajibu na kumwambia Esau, “Tazama, nimemfanya kuwa bwana wako, na nimempa ndugu zake kuwa watumishi wake. Na nimempa nafaka na divai. Je nikufanyie nini mwanangu?
Isaac answered and sayde vnto Esau: beholde I haue made him thi LORde and all his mothers childern haue I made his seruauntes. Moreouer wyth corne ad wyne haue I stablesshed him what ca I do vnto the now my sonne?
38 Esau akamwambia babaye, “Je hauna hata baraka moja kwa ajili yangu, babangu? Nibariki nami, hata mimi pia, babangu.” Esau akalia kwa sauti.
And Esau sayde vnto his father? hast thou but yt one blessynge my father? blesse me also my father: so lyfted vp Esau his voyce and wepte
39 Isaka baba yake akajibu na kumwambia, “Tazama, mahali unapoishi patakuwa mbali na utajiri wa nchi, mbali na umande juu angani.
Tha Isaac his father answered and sayde vnto himBeholde thy dwellynge place shall haue of the fatnesse of the erth and of the dewe of heauen fro aboue.
40 Kwa upanga wako utaishi, nawe utamtumikia ndugu yako. lakini utakapoasi, utaiondoa nira yake shingoni mwako.”
And wyth thy swerde shalt thou lyue and shalt be thy brothers seruaunte But the tyme will come when thou shalt gett the mastrye and lowse his yocke from of thy necke.
41 Esau akamchukia Yakobo kwa sababu ya baraka ambayo baba yake alimpa. Esau akajisemea moyoni, “Siku za maombolezo kwa ajili ya baba yangu zinakaribia; baada ya hapo nitamwua Yakobo ndugu yangu.”
And Esau hated Iacob because of the blessynge yt his father blessed him with all and sayde in his harte: The dayes of my fathers sorowe are at hade for I will sley my brother Iacob.
42 Rebeka akaambiwa maneno ya Esau mwanawe mkubwa. Hivyo akatuma na kumwita Yakobo mwanawe mdogo na kumwambia, “Tazama, Esau ndugu yako anajifariji juu yako kwa kupanga kukuuwa.
And these wordes of Esau hir eldest sonne were told to Rebecca. And she sente ad called Iacob hir yongest sonne and sayde vnto hi: beholde thy brother Esau threatneth to kyll the:
43 Kwa hiyo sasa, mwanangu, unisikie na kukimbilia kwa Labani, ndugu yangu, huko Harani.
Now therfore my sone heare my voyce make the redie and flee to Laba my brother at Haran
44 Ukae naye kitambo, mpaka hasira ya ndugu yako itakapopungua,
And tarie with him a while vntill thy brothers fearsnes be swaged and
45 hata hasira ya ndugu yako itakapokuondokea, na kusahau ulivyomtenda. Kisha nitatuma na kukurudisha kutoka pale. Kwa nini niwapoteze ninyi nyote katika siku moja?
vntill thy brothers wrath turne away from the and he forgett that which thou hast done to him. Tha will I sende and fett the awaye from thence. Why shulde I lose you both in one daye.
46 Rebeka akamwambia Isaka, “Nimechoka na maisha kwa sababu ya hawa binti za Hethi. Ikiwa Yakobo atachukua mmojawapo wa binti wa Hethi kuwa mkewe, kama wanawake hawa, baadhi ya binti za nchi, maisha yatakuwa na maana gani kwangu?”
And Rebecca spake to Isaac: I am wery of my life for feare of the doughters of Heth. Yf Iacob take a wife of the doughters of Heth soch one as these are or of the doughters of the lande what lust shulde I haue to lyue.
