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, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
2 Isaaki sì wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí mo di arúgbó, èmi kò sì mọ ọjọ́ tí èmi yóò kú.
and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
3 Nítorí náà, mú ohun èlò ọdẹ rẹ, apó àti ọrún, nísinsin yìí kí o sì lọ pa ẹran wá fún mi nínú igbó.
Isaac said, “Listen to me. I am very old, and I do not know when I will die. So now take your bow and quiver full of arrows and go out into the countryside, and hunt for a wild animal 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.”
Kill one and prepare the kind of tasty meat that I like. Then bring it to me so that after I eat it, I can give you a blessing 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,
Rebekah was listening as Isaac said that to his son, Esau. So when Esau left the tent to go to the countryside to hunt for a wild animal in order to kill it 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, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
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.’
‘Go and kill some wild animal and bring it here, and prepare the meat in a tasty way, so that I may eat it, and then before I die I can give you my blessing while Yahweh is listening.’
8 Nísinsin yìí ọmọ mi, gbọ́ tèmi, kí o sì ṣe ohun tí èmi yóò wí fún ọ.
So now, my son, do what I am telling 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 [kill] two nice young goats and bring [the meat] to me. Then I will prepare some tasty food for your father, the way he likes it.
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 you can take it to your father, in order that he can eat it, and then, before he dies, he will give his blessing to you, [and not to your older brother].”
11 Jakọbu sì wí fún Rebeka ìyá rẹ̀ pé, “Ṣùgbọ́n Esau ẹ̀gbọ́n mi jẹ́ ènìyàn onírun lára, bẹ́ẹ̀ alára ọ̀bọ̀rọ́ sì ni èmi,
But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “But my brother Esau’s skin has hair all over it, and my skin is not like that! My skin is 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.”
What will happen if my father touches me? He will realize that I am tricking him, and as a result (I will be cursed/he will say that God will do bad things to) me, not 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, “If that happens, let the curse be on me. You do what I am telling you. Go and get the goats 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 killed two goats and brought them to his mother. Then [with the meat] his mother prepared some tasty food, just the way 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.
Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s clothes that were with her in the tent, 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 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 him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
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?”
Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
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 son. I did what you told me to do. Sit up and eat some of the meat so that you can then 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, “My son, how is it that you were able to find and kill an animal so quickly?” Jacob replied, “Because Yahweh, whom you worship, enabled me to be successful.”
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.”
Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near to me, my son, so that I can touch you and determine whether you are really my son Esau.”
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 went close to him. Isaac. Isaac touched him and said, “Your voice sounds like Jacob, but your hands feel hairy, like the hands of your older brother, 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 Jacob, [because he was blind] and because Jacob’s hands were now hairy, like those of his older brother, Esau. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.
24 ó sì bi í léèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni Esau ọmọ mi ni tòótọ́?” Jakọbu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi ni.”
But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, 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.
Isaac said, “My son, bring me some of the meat that you have cooked, so that I may eat it and then give you my blessing.” So Jacob brought him some, and he ate it. Jacob also brought him some wine, and he drank it.
26 Nígbà náà ni Isaaki baba rẹ̀ wí fun un pé, “Súnmọ́ mi, ọmọ mi, kí o sì fẹnukò mí ní ẹnu.”
Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
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 Jacob came close to him, and his father kissed him on the cheek. Isaac smelled the clothes Jacob was wearing. They smelled like Esau’s clothes. So he said, “Truly, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed.
28 Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fún ọ nínú ìrì ọ̀run àti nínú ọ̀rá ilẹ̀ àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọkà àti wáìnì tuntun.
I ask that God will send down to you dew from heaven [to water your fields], and cause you to have abundant crops, good harvests of grain, and grapes for 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.”
I ask that people of many nations will serve you and bow down to you. I ask that you will rule over your brothers, and that your mother’s descendants will also bow down to you. I ask that God will curse/punish those who (curse you/ask God to do bad things to you), and bless those who bless you.”
30 Bí Isaaki ti súre tán tí Jakọbu ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jáde kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀ ni Esau ti oko ọdẹ dé.
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
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.”
Esau cooked some tasty meat and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “My father, please sit up and eat some of the meat that I have cooked, so that you can then give me your blessing!”
32 Isaaki baba rẹ̀ sì bi í wí pé, “Ìwọ ta ni?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi Esau, àkọ́bí rẹ ni.”
His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
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!”
Then Isaac, realizing that it was not Esau who had come earlier, trembled very violently. He said, “Then who is it that brought me some meat from an animal that he had hunted and killed, and I ate it all? He was here just before you came. I blessed him, and I cannot (take back that blessing/declare that those things will not happen to him).”
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 those words of his father, he cried loudly. He was very disappointed. He said to his father, “My father, bless me, too!”
35 Ṣùgbọ́n Isaaki wí pé, “Àbúrò rẹ ti fi ẹ̀tàn wá, ó sì ti gba ìbùkún rẹ lọ.”
But his father said, “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?”
Esau said, “It is right [RHQ] that his name is Jacob, which means ‘cheat,’ because he deceived me two times. The first time he took my rights from being his firstborn son, and this time he took my blessing!” Then he asked, “Do you not have any blessing left 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?”
Isaac answered and said to Esau, “I have declared that your younger brother will rule over you, and declared that all his relatives will serve him. And I have said that God will give him plenty of grain and grapes for wine. So, my son, (what can I do for you?/There is nothing more that I can do for you!)” [RHQ]
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, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
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 and said to him, “The place where you will live will be far from the fertile soil and from the dew that God sends from heaven [to water the fields].
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 will [rob and] kill people [MTY] in order to [get what you need to] live, and you will be as though you are your brother’s slave. But when you decide to rebel against him, you will (free yourself from/no longer be under) his control.”
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.”
So, because his father had given a blessing to Jacob, and not to him, Esau hated his younger brother. Esau thought to himself, “After my father dies and we finish mourning for him, I will kill 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.
But Rebekah found out what her older son, Esau, was thinking. So she summoned her younger son, Jacob, and said to him, “Listen to me. Your older brother, Esau, is [comforting himself by] planning to kill you, to get revenge because of your deceiving your father.
43 Nítorí náà ọmọ mi, ṣe ohun tí èmi yóò sọ fún ọ, sálọ sọ́dọ̀ Labani ẹ̀gbọ́n mi ní Harani.
So now, my son, listen carefully to what I am telling you. Escape quickly and go and stay with my brother Laban, in Haran [town].
44 Jókòó sí ibẹ̀ títí di ìgbà tí ìbínú ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ yóò fi rọ̀.
Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
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?”
When he forgets what you did to him, I will send a message to you, to tell you to return from there. If Esau kills you, [others will kill him, and] then both my sons would die at the same time!” [RHQ]
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.”
Rebekah also said to Isaac, “These [foreign] women whom Esau has married, who are descendants of Heth, are making my life miserable. I would prefer to die than to see Jacob marry a woman from the descendants of Heth in this area!”
