Genesis 27
1 Nígbà ti Isaaki di arúgbó, ojú rẹ̀ sì ti di bàìbàì tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí kò le ríran. Ó pe Esau àkọ́bí rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ọmọ mi.” Esau sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí.”
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” Esau replied.
2 Isaaki sì wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí mo di arúgbó, èmi kò sì mọ ọjọ́ tí èmi yóò kú.
“Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 Nítorí náà, mú ohun èlò ọdẹ rẹ, apó àti ọrún, nísinsin yìí kí o sì lọ pa ẹran wá fún mi nínú igbó.
Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
4 Kí o sì ṣe ẹran àdídùn fún mi, irú èyí tí mo fẹ́ràn, kí o gbe wá fún mi kí n jẹ, kí n sì súre fún ọ kí n tó kú.”
Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
5 Ṣùgbọ́n Rebeka ń fetí léko gbọ́ nígbà tí Isaaki ń bá Esau ọmọ rẹ̀ sọ̀rọ̀. Nítorí náà, nígbà ti Esau ti ṣe ọdẹ lọ sínú igbó,
Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
6 Rebeka sọ fún Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Wò ó, mo gbọ́ tí baba rẹ ń wí fún Esau ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ pé,
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7 ‘Pa ẹran fún mi wá, kí o sì ṣe oúnjẹ àdídùn fún mi láti jẹ, kí n ba à le súre fún ọ níwájú Olúwa kí èmi tó kú.’
‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
8 Nísinsin yìí ọmọ mi, gbọ́ tèmi, kí o sì ṣe ohun tí èmi yóò wí fún ọ.
Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
9 Lọ sínú agbo ẹran, kí o sì mú ọmọ ewúrẹ́ méjì, kí ó lè ṣe oúnjẹ àdídùn fún baba rẹ, irú èyí tí ó fẹ́ràn dáradára.
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
10 Ìwọ yóò sì gbé e tọ baba rẹ lọ, kí òun ba à lè jẹ ẹ́, kí ó sì súre fún ọ, kí ó tó kú.”
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Jakọbu sì wí fún Rebeka ìyá rẹ̀ pé, “Ṣùgbọ́n Esau ẹ̀gbọ́n mi jẹ́ ènìyàn onírun lára, bẹ́ẹ̀ alára ọ̀bọ̀rọ́ sì ni èmi,
Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
12 bí baba mi bá fọwọ́ kàn mi ń kọ́? Èmi yóò jọ ẹlẹ́tàn lójú rẹ̀, dípò kí ó súre fún mi, èmi yóò sì mú ègún wá sórí ara mi.”
What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
13 Ìyá rẹ̀ wá wí fun un pé, “Ọmọ mi jẹ́ kí ègún náà wá sórí mi, sá à ṣe ohun tí mo wí, kí o sì mú wọn wá fún mi.”
His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
14 Jakọbu sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ìyá rẹ̀ wí fun un, Rebeka sì ṣe oúnjẹ àdídùn náà, irú èyí tí Isaaki fẹ́ràn.
So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
15 Nígbà náà ni Rebeka mú èyí tí ó dára jù nínú aṣọ Esau ọmọ rẹ̀ àgbà tí ó wà nínú ilé Rebeka, ó sì fi wọ Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ àbúrò.
And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
16 Ó sì fi awọ ewúrẹ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì bo ọwọ́ àti ibi tí ọ̀bọ̀rọ́ ọrùn.
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 Nígbà náà ni ó gbé ẹran dídùn náà àti oúnjẹ tí ó ti sè lé Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
18 Jakọbu wọlé lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, “Baba mi.” Baba rẹ sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí, ìwọ ta ni, ọmọ mi?”
So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
19 Jakọbu sì fèsì pé, “Èmi ni Esau àkọ́bí rẹ, èmi ti ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti sọ fún mi, jọ̀wọ́ dìde jókòó, kí o sì jẹ nínú ẹran igbó mi tí mo ti sè, kí o ba à le súre fún mi pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ.”
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”
20 Isaaki tún béèrè pé, “Ọmọ mi, báwo ni ó ṣe tètè yá ọ bẹ́ẹ̀?” Jakọbu sì tún dáhùn pé, “Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ló fún mi pa.”
But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
21 Nígbà náà ni Isaaki wí fún Jakọbu pé, “Súnmọ́ mi, kí n le è fọwọ́ kàn ọ́, kí n lè mọ̀ bóyá Esau ọmọ mi ni nítòótọ́ tàbí òun kọ́.”
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
22 Jakọbu sì súnmọ́ Isaaki baba rẹ̀. Isaaki sì fọwọ́ kàn án, ó sì wí pé, “Ohùn ni ohùn Jakọbu; ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ ni ọwọ́ Esau.”
So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 Kò sì dá Jakọbu mọ̀ nítorí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ní irun bí i ti Esau arákùnrin rẹ, nítorí náà, ó súre fún un
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
24 ó sì bi í léèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni Esau ọmọ mi ni tòótọ́?” Jakọbu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi ni.”
Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
25 Nígbà náà ni Isaaki wí pé, “Gbé ẹran igbó náà súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi, kí èmi kí ó jẹ ẹ́, kí èmi sì súre fún ọ láti inú ọkàn mi wá.” Jakọbu sì gbé e wá ó sì jẹ ẹ́, ó sì tún fún un ní wáìnì, ó sì mú un pẹ̀lú.
“Serve me,” said Isaac, “and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Nígbà náà ni Isaaki baba rẹ̀ wí fun un pé, “Súnmọ́ mi, ọmọ mi, kí o sì fẹnukò mí ní ẹnu.”
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
27 Ó sì súnmọ́ ọn, ó sì fẹnukò ó ní ẹnu. Nígbà tí Isaaki gbọ́ òórùn aṣọ rẹ̀, ó súre fún un ó wí pé, “Wò ó òórùn ọmọ mi dàbí òórùn oko tí Olúwa ti bùkún.
So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
28 Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fún ọ nínú ìrì ọ̀run àti nínú ọ̀rá ilẹ̀ àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọkà àti wáìnì tuntun.
May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
29 Kí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kí ó máa sìn ọ́, kí àwọn ènìyàn sì máa tẹríba fún ọ, máa ṣe olórí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ, kí àwọn iyèkan rẹ sì máa wólẹ̀ fún ọ Fífibú ni àwọn ẹni tó fi ọ́ bú, ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ẹni tí ó súre fún ọ.”
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
30 Bí Isaaki ti súre tán tí Jakọbu ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jáde kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀ ni Esau ti oko ọdẹ dé.
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
31 Òun pẹ̀lú ṣe ẹran dídùn, ó sì gbé e tọ baba rẹ̀ wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Baba mi, dìde jókòó, kí o sì jẹ nínú ẹran igbó tí mo ti ṣè, kí o sì súre fún mi.”
He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32 Isaaki baba rẹ̀ sì bi í wí pé, “Ìwọ ta ni?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi Esau, àkọ́bí rẹ ni.”
But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
33 Nígbà náà ni Isaaki wárìrì gidigidi, ó sì wí pé, “Ta ni ẹni náà, tí ó ti pa ẹran igbó tí ó sì ti gbe wá fún mi, tí mo sì ti jẹ ẹ́ kí ó tó dé? Mo sì ti súre fún un, sì wò ó dájúdájú a ó sì bùkún un!”
Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”
34 Nígbà tí Esau gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ baba rẹ̀, ó ké, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọkún kíkorò, ó sì wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Baba mi súre fún èmi náà, àní fún èmi náà pẹ̀lú.”
When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”
35 Ṣùgbọ́n Isaaki wí pé, “Àbúrò rẹ ti fi ẹ̀tàn wá, ó sì ti gba ìbùkún rẹ lọ.”
But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36 Esau sì wí pé, “Lásán ni a pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jakọbu bí? Ní ìgbà méjì yìí ni ó ti tàn mí jẹ: ní àkọ́kọ́, ó gba ogún ìbí mi, nísinsin yìí, ó tún gba ìbùkún mi!” O sì béèrè pé, “Ṣe o kò wá fi ìre kankan sílẹ̀ fun mi ni?”
So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
37 Isaaki sì dá Esau lóhùn pé, “Mo ti fi ṣe olórí rẹ àti àwọn ìbátan rẹ ni mo fi ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un, àti ọkà àti wáìnì ni mo ti fi lé e lọ́wọ́ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, kí ni ó tún kù tí ǹ bá tún fún ọ báyìí ọmọ mi?”
But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”
38 Esau sì wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Ṣe ìre kan ṣoṣo ni ìwọ ní lẹ́nu ni baba mi? Súre fún èmi náà, baba mi.” Esau sì sọkún kíkankíkan.
Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
39 Isaaki baba rẹ̀ sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Ibùjókòó rẹ yóò jìnnà sí ọ̀rá ilẹ̀, àti sí ibi ìrì ọ̀run láti òkè wá.
His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.
40 Nípa idà rẹ ni ìwọ yóò máa gbé, ìwọ yóò sì máa sin àbúrò rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ní ìkẹyìn, nígbà tí ìwọ bá di alágbára ìwọ yóò já àjàgà rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́rùn rẹ.”
You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
41 Esau sì kórìíra Jakọbu nítorí ìre tí baba rẹ̀ sú fún un, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “Baba mi sá à ti fẹ́rẹ kú, nígbà náà ni èmi ó pa Jakọbu, arákùnrin mi.”
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 Nígbà tí Rebeka sì gbọ́ ohun tí Esau àkọ́bí rẹ̀ wí, ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí Jakọbu, ó sì wí fun un pé, “Esau ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ ń tu ara rẹ̀ nínú pẹ̀lú èrò à ti pa ọ́.
When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.
43 Nítorí náà ọmọ mi, ṣe ohun tí èmi yóò sọ fún ọ, sálọ sọ́dọ̀ Labani ẹ̀gbọ́n mi ní Harani.
So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 Jókòó sí ibẹ̀ títí di ìgbà tí ìbínú ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ yóò fi rọ̀.
Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
45 Nígbà tí ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ kò bá bínú sí ọ mọ́, tí ó sì ti gbàgbé ohun tí ìwọ ṣe sí i, èmí ó ránṣẹ́ sí ọ láti padà wá. Èéṣe tí èmi ó fi pàdánù ẹ̀yin méjèèjì ní ọjọ́ kan náà?”
until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 Nígbà náà ni Rebeka wí fún Isaaki pé, “Ayé sì sú mi nítorí àwọn ọmọbìnrin Hiti wọ̀nyí. Bí Jakọbu bá fẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Hiti wọ̀nyí, ó kúkú sàn kí n má wà láààyè.”
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
