Senesi 27
1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene motuʻa ʻa ʻAisake, pea kuo kui hono mata, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa sio, naʻa ne ui ki hono ʻuluaki foha ko ʻIsoa, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, Ko hoku foha: pea ne pehē kiate ia, Vakai, ko au eni.
When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau, his older son, and said to him, “My son.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai mai, kuo u motuʻa, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻae ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mate.
He said, “See here, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
3 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke toʻo hoʻo nāunau, ʻa hoʻo tangakaho, mo hoʻo kaufana, pea ke ʻalu ki he vao mo ke kumi maʻaku ha manu.
Therefore take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
4 Pea ke ngaohi maʻaku ha meʻakai ifo lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku manako, pea ke ʻomi ia kiate au ke u kai; koeʻuhi ke tāpuaki koe ʻe hoku laumālie, ʻi he teʻeki ai teu mate.”
Make delicious food for me, the sort that I love, and bring it to me so I can eat it and bless you before I die.”
5 Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Lepeka ki he lea ʻa ʻAisake ki hono foha ko ʻIsoa. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIsoa ki he vao ke kumi ha manu mo ʻomi ia.
Now Rebekah heard it when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it back.
6 Pea lea ʻa Lepeka ki heʻene tama ko Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “Vakai mai, naʻaku fanongo naʻe lea hoʻo tamai ki ho tokoua ko ʻIsoa, ʻo pehē,
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son and said, “See here, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother. He said,
7 ‘Omi maʻaku ha manu, mo ngaohi maʻaku ʻae meʻakai lelei, koeʻuhi ke u kai ia, mo tāpuaki koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he teʻeki ai teu mate.’
'Bring me game and make me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of Yahweh before my death.'
8 Pea ko eni, ʻeku tama, Ke ke talangofua ki hoku leʻo, ʻo hangē ko ia te u fekau kiate koe.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you.
9 ʻAlu leva ki he fanga kosi, mo ke ʻomi mei ai ʻae ongo ʻuhikiʻi kosi lelei ʻe ua: pea te u ngaohi ʻaki ia ki hoʻo tamai, ʻae meʻakai lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻene manako.
Go to the flock, and bring me two good young goats; and I will make delicious food from them for your father, just like he loves.
10 Pea te ke ʻave ia ki hoʻo tamai, koeʻuhi ke ne kai, pea koeʻuhi ke ne tāpuaki koe ʻi he teʻeki ai te ne pekia.”
You will take it to your father, so that he may eat it, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11 Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Sēkope ki heʻene faʻē ko Lepeka, “Vakai mai, ko e tangata fulufulu ʻa ʻIsoa ko hoku tokoua, pea ko e tangata molemole au.
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “See, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 E ala nai ʻe heʻeku tamai kiate au, pea te u hā atu kiate ia ko e kākā; pea te u ʻomi kiate au ha malaʻia, kae ʻikai ha tāpuaki.”
Perhaps my father will touch me, and I will seem to him as a deceiver. I will bring a curse upon me and not a blessing.”
13 Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene faʻē kiate ia, “Ko ʻeku tama, ke ʻiate au pe ho malaʻia, ka ke tui pe ki hoku leʻo pea ke ʻalu ʻo ʻomi ia kiate au.”
His mother said to him, “My son, let any curse fall on me. Just obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.”
14 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ō fetuku mo ʻomi ia ki heʻene faʻē; pea ngaohi ai ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻae meʻakai lelei, ʻo hangē ko e manako ʻa ʻene tamai.
So Jacob went and got the young goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made delicious food, just like his father loved.
15 Pea toʻo ʻe Lepeka ʻae ngaahi kofu lelei ʻo ʻene ʻuluaki tama ko ʻIsoa, ʻaia naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, pea ne ai ia ki heʻene tama ki mui ko Sēkope.
Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau, her older son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16 Pea ne ai ʻae kiliʻi kosi ki hono nima mo e [potu ]molemole ʻo hono kia.
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 Pea ne ʻatu ʻae meʻakai lelei, mo e mā kuo ne ngaohi, ki he nima ʻo ʻene tama ko Sēkope.
She put the delicious food and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki heʻene tamai, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko ʻeku tamai;” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au eni; ka ko hai koe hoku foha?”
Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” He said, “Here I am; who are you, my son?”
19 Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope ki heʻene tamai, “Ko au ʻIsoa, ko ho ʻuluaki; kuo u fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fekau kiate au; pea ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tuʻu hake, pea ke nofo ʻo kai mei heʻeku manu, koeʻuhi ke ke tāpuaki au.”
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you said to me. Now sit up and eat some of my game, that you may bless me.”
20 Pea pehēange ʻe ʻAisake ki hono foha, “Hoku foha naʻe fēfeeʻi hao maʻu vave pehē mai ia?” Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻomi ia kiate au ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.”
Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Yahweh your God brought it to me.”
21 Pea pehē ʻe ʻAisake kia Sēkope, “Ko hoku foha ʻoku ou kole ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai, koeʻuhi ke u ala kiate koe ke u ʻilo pe ko hoku foha ko ʻIsoa moʻoni koe, pe ʻikai.”
Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near me, so I may touch you, my son, and learn whether you are my true son Esau or not.”
22 Pea ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Sēkope ki heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake; pea ne fāfā ia ʻo ne pehē, ‘Ko e leʻo, ko e leʻo ʻo Sēkope, ka ko e nima ko e nima ʻo ʻIsoa.”
Jacob went over to Isaac his father; and Isaac touched him and said, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia, koeʻuhi naʻe fulufulu hono nima, ʻo hangē ko e nima ʻo hono taʻokete, ko ʻIsoa: pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia;
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau's hands, so Isaac blessed him.
24 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hoku foha ko ʻIsoa moʻoni koe?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko au ia.”
He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He replied, “I am.”
25 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Omi ke ofi ia kiate au, pea te u kai ʻae kanoʻi manu ʻa hoku foha, koeʻuhi ke tāpuaki koe ʻe hoku laumālie.” Pea ne ʻomi ia ʻo ofi kiate ia, pea ne kai ai: pea ne ʻomi kiate ia ʻae uaine, pea ne inu ai.
Isaac said, “Bring the food to me, and I will eat of your game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought the food to him. Isaac ate, and Jacob brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Pea pehē ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake kiate ia; “Ko hoku foha ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai, ʻo uma kiate au.”
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.”
27 Pea ʻunuʻunu atu ia, pea uma kiate ia; pea ne nanamu ki he nanamu ʻo hono ngaahi kofu, ʻo ne tāpuaki ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko e nanamu ʻo hoku foha, ʻoku tatau mo e nanamu ʻoe ngoue kuo tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova:
Jacob came near and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his clothes and blessed him. He said, “See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed.
28 Ko ia ke foaki kiate koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae hahau mei langi, mo e mahu ʻoe kelekele, pea mo e koane, mo e uaine, ʻo lahi:
May God give you a portion of the dew of heaven, a portion of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 Ke tauhi koe ʻe he ngaahi kakai, pea ke punou ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kiate koe; ke ke ʻeiki koe ki ho kāinga, pea ke punou ʻae ngaahi tama ʻa hoʻo faʻē kiate koe; ke malaʻia ia te ne kapeʻi koe, pea ke monūʻia ia ʻoku ne tāpuakiʻi koe.”
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. Be master over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. May every one who curses you be cursed; may every one who blesses you be blessed.”
30 Pea pehē, kuo hili ʻae tāpuaki ʻe ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope, pea naʻe teʻeki ke meimei ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAisake, mo ʻene haʻu ʻa hono taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, mei heʻene tuli manu.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 Pea kuo ngaohi ʻe ia foki ʻae meʻakai ifo lelei, pea ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene tamai, pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene tamai, “Ke tuʻu hake ʻeku tamai, mo kai ʻae kanoʻi manu ʻa hono foha, pea ke tāpuaki au ʻe ho laumālie.”
He also made delicious food and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Father, get up and eat some of your son's game, so that you may bless me.”
32 Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Pea talaange ʻe ia, “Ko au, ko ho foha, ko ho ʻuluaki ko ʻIsoa.”
Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 Pea tetetete lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻAisake, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai? Kofaʻā ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae kanoʻi manu, ʻo ʻomi kiate au, pea naʻaku kai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, pea naʻaku tāpuaki ia ʻi he teʻeki ai te ke haʻu koe? ʻIo pea ko e moʻoni ʻe monūʻia ia.”
Isaac trembled very much and said, “Who was it that hunted this game and brought it to me? I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him. Indeed, he will be blessed.”
34 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa ʻIsoa ki he ngaahi lea ʻa ʻene tamai, pea tangi ia ʻi he leʻo lahi mo fakamamahi, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene tamai, “Ke ke tāpuaki au, ʻio, ko au foki, ʻa ʻeku Tamai.”
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a very great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, me also, my father.”
35 Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Naʻe haʻu ʻa ho tehina ʻi he kākā, pea kuo ne faʻao ʻo ʻave ʻa ho tāpuaki.”
Isaac said, “Your brother came here deceitfully and has taken away your blessing.”
36 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIkai kuo totonu ʻae fakahingoa ia ko Sēkope? He kuo tuʻo ua ʻene muʻakiʻi au: naʻa ne toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻae lelei ʻoe taʻokete ʻiate au; pea ko eni kuo ne toʻo hoku tāpuaki. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo ʻikai ha tāpuaki te ke tuku maʻaku?”
Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and, see, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
37 Pea talaange ʻe ʻAisake kia ʻIsoa, ʻo ne pehē; “Vakai mai, kuo u ngaohi ia ko hoʻo ʻeiki, pea ko hono ngaahi kāinga kuo u foaki kiate ia ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea kuo u tokoni ʻaki ia ʻae koane mo e uaine: pea ko eni, ko e hā te u fai kiate koe hoku foha?”
Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Look, I have made him your master, and I have given to him all his brothers as servants, and I have given him grain and new wine. What more can I do for you, my son?”
38 Pea pehēange ʻe ʻIsoa ki heʻene tamai, “He ʻoku taha pe hoʻo tāpuaki ʻa ʻeku tamai? Ke ke tāpuaki au, ʻio, ko au foki ʻa ʻeku tamai. Pea hiki hake ʻe ʻIsoa hono leʻo, pea tangi.”
Esau said to his father, “Have you not even one blessing for me, my father? Bless me, even me too, my father.” Esau wept loudly.
39 Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake kiate ia, “Vakai, ko ho nofoʻanga ʻe ʻi he lelei ʻoe kelekele, pea mo e hahau ʻoe langi mei ʻolunga.
Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Look, the place where you live will be far from the richness of the earth, away from the dew of the sky above.
40 Pea te ke moʻui ʻi hoʻo heletā, pea te ke tauhi ʻa ho tehina; pea ʻe hoko, ʻo pehē, ʻoka ke ka hoko ki he pule, te ke toki fesiʻi hono haʻamonga mei ho kia.”
By your sword you will live, and you will serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
41 Pea naʻe fehiʻa ʻa ʻIsoa kia Sēkope, koeʻuhi ko e tāpuaki naʻe tāpuaki ʻaki ia ʻe heʻene tamai; pea pehē ʻe ʻIsoa ʻi hono loto, Ko eni kuo ofi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ke tēngihia ʻa ʻeku tamai, pea te u toki tāmateʻi hoku tehina ko Sēkope.
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing that his father had given him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are near; after that I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Pea naʻe fakahā kia Lepeka ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa ʻene ʻuluaki tama ko ʻIsoa: pea fekau ia ke ui ʻa ʻene tama ki mui ko Sēkope ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ko ho taʻokete ko ʻIsoa, ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ia, ʻi heʻene pehē, ke ne tāmateʻi koe.
The words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, “See, your brother Esau is consoling himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 Pea ko eni ʻeku tama, ke ke muitala ki hoku leʻo; pea ke tuʻu ʻo hola ki hoku tuongaʻane ko Lepani, ʻi Halani;
Now therefore, my son, obey me and flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 Pea ke nofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻita ʻa ho taʻokete.
Stay with him for a while, until your brother's fury subsides,
45 Ke ʻoua ke afe ʻae ʻita ʻa ho taʻokete meiate koe, pea ʻe ngalo ʻiate ia, ʻaia kuo ke fai kiate ia; pea te u toki fekau ʻo ʻomi koe mei ai: he koeʻumaʻā ʻeku masiva ʻiate kimoua ʻosi pe, ʻi he ʻaho pe taha?”
until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you back from there. Why should I lose you both in one day?
46 Pea pehē ʻe Lepeka kia ʻAisake, “Kuo u fiu ʻi heʻeku moʻui, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Heti; he kapau ʻe fili ʻe Sēkope ha uaifi ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Heti, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu ni ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe fonua, ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻo ʻeku moʻui kiate au?”
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes one of the daughters of Heth as a wife, like these women, some of the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
