Genesis 27
1 Nang matanda na si Isaac at ang kanyang mga mata ay malabo na kaya hindi na siya makakita, tinawag niya ang nakatatandang anak niyang si Esau. Sinabi niya, “Anak ko.”
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 Sumagot ito, “Narito po ako.” Sinabi niya rito, “Tumingin ka rito, matanda na ako. Hindi ko alam ang araw 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 Kaya kunin mo ang iyong mga sandata, ang iyong sisidlan ng palaso at pana at mangaso ka sa bukid para sa akin.
Take your weapons, the quiver and the bow, and go out. And when you have taken something by hunting,
4 Gawan mo ako ng masarap na pagkain na gusto ko at dalhin mo iyon sa akin para makain ko iyon at pagpalain ka 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 Ngayon narinig ni Rebeca nang kausapin ni Isaac si Esau na kanyang anak. Nagpunta si Esau sa bukid para mangaso ng hayop at dalhin ito pauwi.
And when Rebekah had heard this, and he had gone out into the field to fulfill his father’s order,
6 Kinausap ni Rebeca si Jacob na kanyang anak at sinabi, “Tumingin ka rito, narinig kong kinausap ng iyong ama ang kapatid mong si Esau. Sinabi niya
she said to her son Jacob: “I heard your father speaking with your brother Esau, and saying to him,
7 'Dalhan mo ako ng pinangasong hayop at gawan ako ng masarap na pagkain, upang kainin ko ito at pagpapalain ka sa harap ni Yahweh bago ang aking kamatayan.'
‘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 Kaya ngayon, anak ko, sundin mo ang tinig ko habang inuutusan kita.
Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,
9 Pumunta ka sa kawan at dalhan mo ako ng dalawang batang kambing; at magluluto ako ng masarap na pagkain para sa ama mo, na katulad ng gusto niya.
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 Dadalhin mo ito sa kanya para kainin upang ikaw ay pagpalain niya bago ang kanyang kamatayan.”
Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Sinabi ni Jacob sa kanyang inang si Rebeca, “Tingnan ninyo, ang kapatid kong si Esau ay mabalahibo, at ako ay makinis na tao.
He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
12 Malamang himasin ako ng ama ko, at ako ay magmimistulang manlilinlang sa kanya. Magdadala ako ng isang sumpa sa aking sarili at hindi pagpapala.”
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 Sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang ina, “Anak ko, hayaan mong mapunta sa akin ang anumang sumpa. Basta sundin mo ang tinig ko, at umalis ka, at dalhin mo ang mga iyon 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 Kaya kinuha ni Jacob ang dalawang batang kambing at dinala ang mga ito sa kanyang ina, at ang kanyang ina ay gumawa ng masarap na pagkain katulad ng gusto ng kanyang 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 Kinuha ni Rebeca ang pinakamagandang damit ni Esau, na nakatatandang anak niya, na nasa kanya sa bahay, at ipinasuot ito kay Jacob, na nakababatang anak niya.
And she clothed him with the very fine garments of Esau, which she had at home with her.
16 Inilagay niya ang balat ng batang kambing sa mga kamay niya at sa makinis na bahagi ng leeg niya.
And she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.
17 Inilagay niya ang inihanda niyang masarap na pagkain at ang tinapay sa kamay ng anak niyang si Jacob.
And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.
18 Pumunta si Jacob sa kanyang ama at nagsabi, “Ama ko.” 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 Sinabi ni Jacob sa kanyang ama, “Ako si Esau na unang anak mo; nagawa ko na ang sinabi mo sa akin. Umupo ka at kainin ang aking napangaso upang pagpalain mo ako.”
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 Sinabi ni Isaac sa kanyang anak, “Paano mo itong natagpuan nang napakabilis, anak ko?” Sinabi niya, “Dahil si Yahweh na iyong Diyos ay dinala ito sa akin.”
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 Sinabi ni Isaac kay Jacob, “Lumapit ka upang mahimas kita at malaman kung ikaw ang tunay kong 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 Pumunta si Jacob sa kanyang amang si Isaac, at hinimas siya ni Isaac at sinabi niya, “Ang tinig ay tinig ni Jacob, ngunit 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 Hindi siya nakilala ni Isaac dahil ang kanyang mga kamay ay mabalahibo, katulad ng mga kamay ng kapatid niyang si Esau, kaya pinagpala siya ni Isaac.
And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,
24 Sinabi niya, “Ikaw ba talaga ang anak kong si Esau?” Sumagot siya, “Ako nga.”
he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
25 Sinabi ni Isaac, “Dalhin mo sa akin ang pagkain at kakainin ko ang napangaso mo upang mapagpala kita.” Dinala ni Jacob sa kanya ang pagkain. Kumain si Isaac, at dinalhan siya ni Jacob ng alak, at siya ay 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 Sinabi ng kanyang amang si Isaac, “Lumapit ka sa akin at hagkan mo ako, anak ko.”
he said to him, “Come to me and give me a kiss, my son.”
27 Lumapit si Jacob at hinalikan siya, at naamoy niya ang amoy ng kanyang damit at pinagpala siya. Sinabi nya, “Tingnan mo, ang amoy ng aking anak ay katulad ng amoy ng isang bukid na pinagpala ni Yahweh.
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 Nawa bigyan ka ng Diyos ng isang bahagi ng hamog ng langit, isang bahagi ng katabaan ng lupa, at masaganang mga butil at bagong 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 Nawa ang mga tao ay maglingkod sa iyo at yumuko sa iyo ang mga bansa. Maging amo ka ng iyong mga kapatid na lalaki, at nawa ang mga anak ng iyong ina ay yumuko sa iyo. Nawa ang bawat isang sumumpa sa iyo ay sumpain; at nawa ang bawat isang magpala sa iyo ay pagpalain.”
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 Matapos pagpalain ni Isaac si Jacob, at bahagya pa siyang lumayo sa presensya ng ama niyang si Isaac, noon naman dumating ang kapatid niyang si Esau mula sa pangangaso.
Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.
31 Gumawa rin siya ng masarap na pagkain at dinala iyon sa kanyang ama. Sinabi niya, “Ama, bumangon ka at kainin mo ang ilan sa napangaso ng iyong anak upang mapagpala mo ako.”
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 Ang kanyang amang si Isaac ay nagsabi sa kanya, “Sino ka?” Sinabi niya, “Ako ang anak mo, ang unang anak mong si Esau.”
And Isaac said to him, “But who are you?” And he answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”
33 Nanginig nang matindi si Isaac at nagsabi, “Sino pala iyon na nangaso ng hayop na ito at dinala sa akin? Kinain ko lahat ito bago ka dumating, at pinagpala ko siya. Tunay nga, siya ay pagpapalain.”
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 kanyang ama, siya ay umiyak nang napakalakas at umiyak ng may kapaitan, sinabi sa kanyang ama, “Ako rin, pagpalain mo ako, 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 Sinabi ni Isaac, “Mapanlilinlang na naparito ang kapatid mo at inagaw ang iyong pagpapala.”
And he said, “Your twin came deceitfully, and he received your blessing.”
36 Sinabi ni Esau, “Hindi ba tama lang na pinangalanan siyang Jacob? Dahil dinaya niya ako sa dalawang pagkakataong ito. Inagaw niya ang aking karapatan ng isinilang at tingnan mo, ngayon ay inagaw niya ang aking pagpapala.” At sinabi niya, “Wala ka bang naitabing pagpapala para sa akin?”
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 Sumagot si Isaac at sinabi kay Esau, “Tingnan mo, nagawa ko na siyang amo mo at naibigay ko na sa kanya ang lahat ng mga kapatid niya bilang alipin. At nabigyan ko siya ng butil at bagong alak. Ano pa ang magagawa ko para sa iyo, 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 Sinabi ni Esau sa kanyang ama, “Wala ka bang kahit isang pagpapala sa akin, ama ko? Pagpalain mo ako, ako rin, ama ko.” Umiyak nang malakas si Esau.
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 Sumagot ang kanyang amang si Isaac at sinabi sa kanya, “Tingnan mo, ang lugar na pinaninirahan mo ay magiging malayo sa kayamanan ng mundo, malayo sa hamog ng langit 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 Mabubuhay ka sa pamamagitan ng iyong espada, at paglilingkuran mo ang iyong kapatid na lalaki. Subalit kapag magrebelde ka, maaalog mo ang kanyang pamatok mula sa iyong leeg.”
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 Nagalit si Esau kay Jacob dahil sa pagpapalang binigay ng kanilang ama sa kanya. Sinabi niya sa kanyang puso, “Malapit na ang mga araw ng pagluluksa para sa aking ama; pagkatapos niyon papatayin ko ang kapatid kong si Jacob.”
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 Ang mga salita ni Esau na nakatatanda niyang anak ay nasabi kay Rebeca. Kaya nagpadala at tinawag niya si Jacob na nakababatang anak niya at sinabi rito, “Tingnan mo, ang kapatid mong si Esau ay inaaliw ang kanyang sarili sa pagbabalak na 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 Kaya ngayon, anak ko, sundin mo ako at tumakas ka papunta kay Laban, na kapatid kong lalaki, sa Haran.
Therefore, now my son, listen to my voice. Rise up and flee to my brother Laban, in Haran.
44 Manatili ka nang ilang araw sa piling niya, hanggang sa humupa ang galit ng kapatid mo,
And you will dwell with him for a few days, until the fury of your brother subsides,
45 hanggang mawala ang galit ng kapatid mo sa iyo, at malimutan niya ang ginawa mo sa kanya. Pagkatapos magpapadala ako at ibabalik ka mula roon. Bakit kailangang kapwa kayong mawala 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 Sinabi ni Rebeca kay Isaac, “Ako ay pinanghihinaan sa buhay dahil sa mga anak na babae ni Heth. Kung kunin ni Esau na asawa ang isa sa mga anak ni Heth, tulad ng mga kababaihang ito, ilan sa mga anak na babae ng lupain, ano pa ang kabuluhan ng buhay ko?”
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.”
