Genesis 27
1 At nangyari, nang matanda na si Isaac, at malabo na ang kaniyang mga mata, na ano pa't hindi na siya makakita, ay tinawag si Esau na kaniyang anak na panganay, at sinabi sa kaniya, Anak ko: at kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.
Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were cloudy, and so he was not able to see. And he called his elder son Esau, and he said to him, “My son?” And he responded, “Here I am.”
2 At sinabi niya, Narito, ako'y matanda, at hindi ko nalalaman ang kaarawan ng aking kamatayan.
His father said to him: “You see that I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 Ngayon nga'y kunin mo ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, ang iyong almas, ang iyong lalagyan ng pana, at ang iyong busog, at lumabas ka sa parang, at ihuli mo ako ng usa;
Take your weapons, the quiver and the bow, and go out. And when you have taken something by hunting,
4 At igawa mo ako ng masarap na pagkain, na aking ibig, at dalhin mo rito sa akin, upang ako'y kumain; upang ikaw ay basbasan ko bago ako mamatay.
make from it a small meal for me, just as you know I like, and bring it, so that I may eat and my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 At pinakikinggan ni Rebeca nang nagsasalita si Isaac kay Esau na kaniyang anak. At naparoon si Esau sa parang upang manghuli ng usa, at upang madala.
And when Rebekah had heard this, and he had gone out into the field to fulfill his father’s order,
6 At isinaysay ni Rebeca kay Jacob na kaniyang anak na sinasabi, Narito, narinig ko ang iyong ama na nagsasalita kay Esau na iyong kapatid, na sinasabi,
she said to her son Jacob: “I heard your father speaking with your brother Esau, and saying to him,
7 Dalhan mo ako ng usa, at igawa mo ako ng pagkaing masarap, upang ako'y kumain, at ikaw ay aking basbasan sa harap ng Panginoon, bago ako mamatay,
‘Bring to me from your hunting, and make me foods, so that I may eat and bless you in the sight of the Lord before I die.’
8 Ngayon nga, anak ko, sundin mo ang aking tinig, ayon sa iniutos ko sa iyo.
Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,
9 Pumaroon ka ngayon sa kawan, at dalhin mo rito sa akin ang dalawang mabuting anak ng kambing; at gagawin kong masarap na pagkain sa iyong ama, ayon sa kaniyang ibig.
and go straight to the flock, and bring me two of the best young goats, so that from them I may make meat for your father, such as he willingly eats.
10 At dadalhin mo sa iyong ama, upang kumain, ano pa't ikaw ay kaniyang basbasan bago siya mamatay.
Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies.”
11 At sinabi ni Jacob kay Rebeca na kaniyang ina, Narito, si Esau na aking kapatid ay taong mabalahibo, at ako'y taong makinis.
He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
12 Marahil ay hihipuin ako ng aking ama, at aariin niya akong parang nagdaraya sa kaniya; at ang aking mahihita ay sumpa at hindi basbas.
If my father should lay hands on me and perceive it, I am afraid lest he think me willing to mock him, and I will bring a curse upon myself, instead of a blessing.”
13 At sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang ina, Sa akin mapunta ang sumpa sa iyo, anak ko: sundin mo lamang ang aking tinig, at yumaon ka, na dalhin mo sa akin.
And his mother said to him: “Let this curse be upon me, my son. Yet listen to my voice, and go directly to bring what I said.”
14 At siya'y yumaon at dinala sa kaniyang ina: at gumawa ang kaniyang ina ng masarap na pagkain, na ibig ng kaniyang ama.
He went out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just as she knew his father liked.
15 At kinuha ni Rebeca ang mainam na damit ni Esau, na kaniyang anak na panganay, na nasa kaniya sa bahay, at isinuot kay Jacob na kaniyang bunsong anak:
And she clothed him with the very fine garments of Esau, which she had at home with her.
16 At ang mga balat ng mga anak ng kambing ay ibinalot sa kaniyang mga kamay, at sa kinis ng kaniyang leeg.
And she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.
17 At kaniyang ibinigay ang pagkaing masarap, at ang tinapay na kaniyang inihanda, sa kamay ni Jacob na kaniyang anak.
And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.
18 At siya'y lumapit sa kaniyang ama, at nagsabi, Ama ko; at sinabi niya: Narito ako; sino ka, anak ko?
When he had carried these in, he said, “My father?” And he answered, “I’m listening. Who are you, my son?”
19 At sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang ama, Ako'y si Esau na iyong panganay; ginawa ko ang ayon sa sinabi mo sa akin: bumangon ka, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, maupo ka at kumain ka ng aking usa, upang basbasan ako ng iyong kaluluwa.
And Jacob said: “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you instructed me. Arise; sit and eat from my hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
20 At sinabi ni Isaac sa kaniyang anak, Ano't kay dali mong nakasumpong, anak ko? At sinabi niya, Sapagka't binigyan ako ng mabuting kapalaran ng Panginoon mong Dios.
And again Isaac said to his son, “How were you able to find it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “It was the will of God, so that what I sought met with me quickly.”
21 At sinabi ni Isaac kay Jacob, Lumapit ka rito, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo upang hipuin kita, anak ko, kung tunay na ikaw ang aking anak na si Esau o hindi.
And Isaac said, “Come here, so that I may touch you, my son, and may prove whether you are my son Esau, or not.”
22 At lumapit si Jacob kay Isaac na kaniyang ama: at hinipo siya, at sinabi, Ang tinig ay tinig ni Jacob, nguni't ang mga kamay ay mga kamay ni Esau.
He approached his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: “The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob. But the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 At hindi siya nakilala, sapagka't ang kaniyang kamay ay mabalahibo, gaya ng mga kamay ni Esau na kaniyang kapatid: at sa gayo'y binasbasan siya.
And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,
24 At sinabi niya, Ikaw bang tunay ang aking anak na si Esau? At sinabi niya, Ako nga.
he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
25 At kaniyang sinabi, Ilapit mo sa akin, at kakain ako ng usa ng aking anak, upang basbasan ka ng aking kaluluwa. At kaniyang inilapit sa kaniya at kumain siya: at siya'y dinalhan niya ng alak, at uminom.
Then he said, “Bring me the foods from your hunting, my son, so that my soul may bless you.” And when he had eaten what was offered, he also brought forth wine for him. And after he finished it,
26 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Isaac na kaniyang ama, Lumapit ka ngayon at humalik ka sa akin, anak ko.
he said to him, “Come to me and give me a kiss, my son.”
27 At siya'y lumapit at humalik siya sa kaniya: at naamoy ng ama ang amoy ng kaniyang mga suot, at siya'y binasbasan, na sinabi, Narito, ang amoy ng aking anak Ay gaya ng amoy ng isang parang na pinagpala ng Panginoon:
He approached and kissed him. And immediately he perceived the fragrance of his garments. And so, blessing him, he said: “Behold, the smell of my son is like the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord has blessed.
28 At bigyan ka ng Dios ng hamog ng langit, At ng taba ng lupa, At ng saganang trigo at alak:
May God give to you, from the dew of heaven and from the fatness of the earth, an abundance of grain and wine.
29 Ang mga bayan ay mangaglingkod nawa sa iyo. At ang mga bansa ay mangagsiyukod sa iyo: Maging panginoon ka nawa ng iyong mga kapatid, At magsiyukod sa iyo ang mga anak ng iyong ina: Sumpain nawa ang mga sumusumpa sa iyo. At maging mapapalad ang mga magpapala sa iyo.
And may the peoples serve you, and may the tribes reverence you. May you be the lord of your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down before you. Whoever curses you, may he be cursed, and whoever blesses you, may he be filled with blessings.”
30 At nangyari pagkatapos ng pagbabasbas ni Isaac kay Jacob, at bahagya nang kaaalis ni Jacob sa harap ni Isaac na kaniyang ama, ay dumating si Esau na kaniyang kapatid, na galing sa kaniyang panghuhuli.
Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.
31 At siya ma'y gumawa ng masarap na pagkain, at dinala niya sa kaniyang ama; at sinabi niya sa kaniyang ama, Bumangon ang ama ko, at kumain ng usa ng kaniyang anak, upang basbasan ako ng iyong kaluluwa.
And he brought his father foods cooked from his hunting, saying, “Arise, my father, and eat from your son’s hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”
32 At sinabi ni Isaac na kaniyang ama sa kaniya, Sino ka? At kaniyang sinabi, Ako ang iyong anak, ang iyong panganay na si Esau.
And Isaac said to him, “But who are you?” And he answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”
33 At nangilabot na mainam si Isaac, at sinabi, Sino nga yaong kumuha ng usa at dinala sa akin, at ako'y kumain niyaon bago ka dumating, at aking binasbasan siya? oo, at siya'y magiging mapalad!
Isaac became frightened and very astonished. And wondering beyond what can be believed, he said: “Then who is he that a while ago brought me the prey from his hunting, from which I ate, before you arrived? And I blessed him, and he will be blessed.”
34 Nang marinig ni Esau ang mga salita ng kaniyang ama ay humiyaw ng malakas at ng di kawasang kapanglawan: at sinabi sa kaniyang ama. Basbasan mo ako, ako naman, Oh ama ko.
Esau, having heard his father’s words, roared out with a great outcry. And, being confounded, he said, “But bless me also, my father.”
35 At kaniyang sinabi, Naparito ang iyong kapatid sa pamamagitan ng daya, at kinuha ang basbas sa iyo.
And he said, “Your twin came deceitfully, and he received your blessing.”
36 At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ba matuwid ang pagkatawag sa kaniyang Jacob? sapagka't kaniyang inagawan ako nitong makalawa: kaniyang kinuha ang aking pagkapanganay; at, narito, ngayo'y kinuha ang basbas sa akin. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi mo ba ako ipinaglaan ng basbas.
But he responded: “Justly is his name called Jacob. For he has supplanted me yet another time. My birthright he took away before, and now, this second time, he has stolen my blessing.” And again, he said to his father, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me also?”
37 At sumagot si Isaac, at sinabi kay Esau. Narito, inilagay ko siyang panginoon mo, at sa kaniya'y ibinigay kong lingkod ang lahat niyang mga kapatid; at sa trigo at sa bagong alak, ay kinandili ko siya; at sa iyo'y ano ngang magagawa ko ngayon anak ko?
Isaac answered: “I have appointed him as your lord, and I have subjugated all his brothers as his servants. I have reinforced him with grain and wine, and after this, my son, what more shall I do for you?”
38 At sinabi ni Esau sa kaniyang ama, Wala ka ba, kundi isa lamang basbas, ama ko? Basbasan mo ako, ako naman, Oh ama ko. At humiyaw si Esau at umiyak.
And Esau said to him: “Have you only one blessing, father? I beg you, bless me also.” And when he wept with a loud wail,
39 At sumagot si Isaac na kaniyang ama, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, magiging sadya sa taba ng lupa ang iyong tahanan, At sa hamog ng langit mula sa itaas;
Isaac was moved, and he said to him: “In the fatness of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,
40 At sa iyong tabak ay mabubuhay ka, at sa iyong kapatid ay maglilingkod ka; At mangyayari na pagka nakalaya ka, Papagpagin mo sa iyong leeg ang pamatok niya.
will your blessing be. You will live by the sword, and you will serve your brother. But the time will arrive when you will shake off and release his yoke from your neck.”
41 At kinapootan ni Esau si Jacob, dahil sa basbas na ibinasbas sa kaniya ng kaniyang ama; at sinasabi ni Esau sa sarili, Malapit na ang mga araw ng pagluluksa sa aking ama; kung magkagayo'y papatayin ko si Jacob na aking kapatid.
Therefore, Esau always hated Jacob, for the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And he said in his heart, “The days will arrive for the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 At ang mga salita ni Esau na kaniyang panganay ay nangaibalita kay Rebeca; at kaniyang pinasuguan at tinawag si Jacob, na kaniyang bunso at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Narito, ang iyong kapatid na si Esau ay naaaliw tungkol sa iyo, na inaakalang patayin ka.
These things were reported to Rebekah. And sending and calling for her son Jacob, she said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau is threatening to kill you.
43 Ngayon nga, anak ko, sundin mo ang aking tinig; at bumangon ka, at tumakas ka hanggang kay Laban na aking kapatid, sa Haran;
Therefore, now my son, listen to my voice. Rise up and flee to my brother Laban, in Haran.
44 At dumoon ka sa kaniyang ilang araw hanggang sa mapawi ang galit ng iyong kapatid.
And you will dwell with him for a few days, until the fury of your brother subsides,
45 Hanggang ang galit sa iyo, ng iyong kapatid ay mapawi at malimutan niya ang ginawa mo sa kaniya: kung magkagayo'y pasusuguan kita at ipasusundo kita mula roon: bakit kapuwa mawawala kayo sa akin sa isang araw?
and his indignation ceases, and he forgets the things that you have done to him. After this, I will send for you and bring you from there to here. Why should I be bereaved of both my sons in one day?”
46 At sinabi ni Rebeca kay Isaac, Ako'y yamot na sa aking buhay, dahil sa mga anak na babae ni Heth: kung si Jacob ay magasawa sa mga anak ni Heth na gaya ng mga ito, ng mga anak ng lupaing ito, ano pang kabuluhan sa akin ng aking buhay?
And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob accepts a wife from the stock of this land, I would not be willing to live.”
