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.”
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 Isaaki sì wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí mo di arúgbó, èmi kò sì mọ ọjọ́ tí èmi yóò kú.
His father said to him: “You see that I am 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, the quiver and the bow, and go out. And when you have taken something by hunting,
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.”
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 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,
And when Rebekah had heard this, and he had gone out into the field to fulfill his father’s order,
6 Rebeka sọ fún Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Wò ó, mo gbọ́ tí baba rẹ ń wí fún Esau ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ pé,
she said to her son Jacob: “I heard your father speaking with your brother Esau, and saying to him,
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 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 Nísinsin yìí ọmọ mi, gbọ́ tèmi, kí o sì ṣe ohun tí èmi yóò wí fún ọ.
Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,
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.
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 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, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, 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,
He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
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.”
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 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.”
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 Jakọbu sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ìyá rẹ̀ wí fun un, Rebeka sì ṣe oúnjẹ àdídùn náà, irú èyí tí Isaaki fẹ́ràn.
He went out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just as she knew his father liked.
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 she clothed him with the very fine garments of Esau, which she had at home with her.
16 Ó sì fi awọ ewúrẹ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì bo ọwọ́ àti ibi tí ọ̀bọ̀rọ́ ọrùn.
And she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.
17 Nígbà náà ni ó gbé ẹran dídùn náà àti oúnjẹ tí ó ti sè lé Jakọbu ọmọ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.
And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.
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?”
When he had carried these in, he said, “My father?” And he answered, “I’m listening. Who 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 Jakọbu sì súnmọ́ Isaaki baba rẹ̀. Isaaki sì fọwọ́ kàn án, ó sì wí pé, “Ohùn ni ohùn Jakọbu; ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ ni ọwọ́ 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 Kò sì dá Jakọbu mọ̀ nítorí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ní irun bí i ti Esau arákùnrin rẹ, nítorí náà, ó súre fún un
And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,
24 ó sì bi í léèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni Esau ọmọ mi ni tòótọ́?” Jakọbu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi ni.”
he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “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.
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 Nígbà náà ni Isaaki baba rẹ̀ wí fun un pé, “Súnmọ́ mi, ọmọ mi, kí o sì fẹnukò mí ní ẹnu.”
he said to him, “Come to me and give me a kiss, 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.
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 Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fún ọ nínú ìrì ọ̀run àti nínú ọ̀rá ilẹ̀ àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọkà àti wáìnì tuntun.
May God give to you, from the dew of heaven and from the fatness of the earth, an abundance of grain and 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.”
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 Bí Isaaki ti súre tán tí Jakọbu ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jáde kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀ ni Esau ti oko ọdẹ dé.
Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.
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.”
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 Isaaki baba rẹ̀ sì bi í wí pé, “Ìwọ ta ni?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi Esau, àkọ́bí rẹ ni.”
And Isaac said to him, “But who are you?” And he answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”
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 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 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.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Isaaki wí pé, “Àbúrò rẹ ti fi ẹ̀tàn wá, ó sì ti gba ìbùkún rẹ lọ.”
And he said, “Your twin came deceitfully, and he received 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?”
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 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?”
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 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.
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 Isaaki baba rẹ̀ sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Ibùjókòó rẹ yóò jìnnà sí ọ̀rá ilẹ̀, àti sí ibi ìrì ọ̀run láti òkè wá.
Isaac was moved, and he said to him: “In the fatness of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 Nítorí náà ọmọ mi, ṣe ohun tí èmi yóò sọ fún ọ, sálọ sọ́dọ̀ Labani ẹ̀gbọ́n mi ní Harani.
Therefore, now my son, listen to my voice. Rise up and flee to my brother Laban, in Haran.
44 Jókòó sí ibẹ̀ títí di ìgbà tí ìbínú ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ yóò fi rọ̀.
And you will dwell with him for a few days, until the fury of your brother 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?”
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 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.”
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.”
