Gênesis 27

1 When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, "My son?"

He said to him, "Here I am."

2 He said, "See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death. 3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison. 4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die."

5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying, 7 ‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’ 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you. 9 Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves. 10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."

11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing."

13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me."

14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved. 15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son. 16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck. 17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

18 He came to his father, and said, "My father?"

He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"

19 Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me."

20 Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?"

He said, "Because Yahweh your God gave me success."

21 Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."

22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." 23 He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him. 24 He said, "Are you really my son Esau?"

He said, "I am."

25 He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you."

He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank. 26 His father Isaac said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son." 27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said,

"Behold, the smell of my son

is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.

28 God give you of the dew of the sky,

of the fatness of the earth,

and plenty of grain and new wine.

29 Let peoples serve you,

and nations bow down to you.

Be lord over your brothers.

Let your mother’s sons bow down to you.

Cursed be everyone who curses you.

Blessed be everyone who blesses you."

30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31 He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me."

32 Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?"

He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."

33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed."

34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."

35 He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."

36 He said, "Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?"

37 Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?"

38 Esau said to his father, "Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

39 Isaac his father answered him,

"Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth,

and of the dew of the sky from above.

40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother.

It will happen, when you will break loose,

that you will shake his yoke from off your neck."

41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob."

42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran. 44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away— 45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"

46 Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"

Ka Manaakitia a Hākopa e Īhaka

1 Nā, i a Īhaka kua koroheketia, kua atarua hoki ngā kanohi, i kore ai ia e kite, ka karangatia e ia a Ēhau, tāna tama mātāmua, ka mea ki a ia, "E tāku tama!"

Ā, ka mea ia ki a ia, "Tēnei ahau."

2 Nā, ka mea ia, "Nanā, kua koroheke ahau, kāhore hoki ahau e mōhio ki te rā e mate ai ahau. 3 Nā reira mauria e koe āu rākau tāu papa pere me tāu kōpere, ka haere ki te koraha ki te hopu kai māku. 4 Ka taka ai i tētahi kai reka māku, hei tāku i pai ai, ka mau mai ai ki ahau kia kai ahau; kia manaaki ai tōku wairua i a koe i mua o tōku matenga."

5 Ā, i rongo a Ripeka i te kōrerotanga Īhaka ki a Ēhau, ki tāna tama. Nā, ko te haerenga o Ēhau ki te koraha ki te hopu kai hei maunga mai māna. 6 Nā, ka kōrero a Ripeka ki a Hākopa, ki tāna tama, ka mea, "Nanā, kua rongo ahau i tōu pāpā e kōrero ana ki a Ēhau, ki tōu tuakana, e mea ana, 7 ‘Mauria mai tētahi kai māku, ka taka ai i tētahi kai reka māku, kia kai ahau, kia manaaki ai ahau i a koe i te aroaro o Ihowā, keiwhā mate ahau.’ 8 Nā, whakarongo ki tōku reo, e tāku tama, kia rite ki tāku e whakahau nei ki a koe. 9 Haere ināianei ki te kāhui, ka mau mai ki ahau i reira kia rua ngā kūao papai o ngā koati; ā, māku ēnā e taka hei kai reka mā tōu pāpā, hei pērā me tāna e pai ai. 10 Ā, māu e kawe ki tōu pāpā, kia kai ia, kia manaaki ai ia i a koe keiwhā mate ia."

11 Nā, ka mea a Hākopa ki a Ripeka, ki tōna whaea, "Nā, ko Ēhau, ko tōku tuakana, he tangata pūhuruhuru, ko ahau ia he kiri maheni. 12 Tērā pea tōku pāpā e whāwhā i ahau, ā, ki tāna ka rite ahau ki te tangata tinihanga; ā, he kanga te mea e riro mai i ahau, kāhore he manaaki."

13 Nā, ko te meatanga a tōna whaea ki a ia, "Hei runga i ahau tōu kanga, e tāku tama; whakarongo mai ia ki tōku reo, haere, tīkina aua mea ki ahau."

14 Nā, ka haere ia, ka tīkina, ka mauria mai ki tōna whaea, ā, ka takā e tōna whaea he kai reka, he pērā me tā tōna pāpā i pai ai. 15 Nā, ka tīkina e Ripeka ngā kākahu papai o Ēhau, o tāna tama ō mua, i a ia hoki aua mea i roto i te whare; ā, whakakākahuria ana e ia ki a Hākopa, ki tāna tama ō muri. 16 Ā, ka whakapiritia e ia ngā hiako o ngā kūao koati ki ōna ringa, ki te wāhi māeneene hoki o tōna kakī. 17 Nā, ka hoatu e ia te kai reka me te taro i hangā e ia ki te ringa o Hākopa, o tāna tama.

18 Nā, ka tae ia ki tōna pāpā, ka mea, "E tōku matua!"

Ā, ka mea ia, "Tēnei ahau; ko wai koe, e tāku tama?"

19 Nā, ka mea a Hākopa ki tōna pāpā, "Ko Ēhau ahau, ko tāu mātāmua; kua oti i ahau tāu i kī mai ai ki ahau. Nā, maranga ake, e noho ki te kai i te kai i hopukia nei e ahau, kia manaaki ai tōu wairua i ahau."

20 Ā, ka mea a Īhaka ki tāna tama, "Nā te aha i hohoro ai te kitea e koe, e tāku tama?"

Ka mea ia, "Nā Ihowā hoki, nā tōu Atua, i hōmai kia hohoro."

21 Ā, ka mea a Īhaka ki a Hākopa, "Nuku mai nei nā, kia whāwhā ahau ki a koe, e tāku tama, ko tāku tama tonu rānei koe, ko Ēhau, kāhore rānei."

22 Nā, ka neke atu a Hākopa ki a Īhaka, ki tōna pāpā, ā, ka whāwhā tērā i a ia, ka mea, "Ko te reo, nō Hākopa te reo, ko ngā ringa ia, nō Ēhau ngā ringaringa." 23 Ā, kīhai ia i mōhio ki a ia, nō te mea he huruhuru ōna ringa, i rite ki ngā ringa o Ēhau, o tōna tuakana; nā, ka manaaki ia i a ia. 24 Ā, ka mea, "Ko tāku tama pū rānei koe, ko Ēhau?"

Ā, ka mea ia, "Ko ahau tēnei."

25 Nā, ka mea ia, "Kawea mai kia tata ki ahau, kia kai ahau i te kai i hopukia e tāku tama, kia manaaki ai tōku wairua i a koe."

Nā, kawea atu ana e ia ki a ia, ā, ka kai ia. I mauria atu anō e ia he wāina ki a ia, ā, inu ana ia. 26 Kātahi ka mea a Īhaka, tōna pāpā, ki a ia, "Nuku mai nei, ka kihi i ahau, e tāku tama."

27 Nā, ka neke atu ia, ā, ka kihi ia i a ia; ā, ka hongi ia i te haunga o ōna kākahu, ka manaaki i a ia, ka mea,

"Titiro hoki, rite tahi te haunga o tāku tama

ki te haunga o te pārae i manaakitia e Ihowā.

28 Kia hōmai anō e te Atua ki a koe te tōmairangi o te rangi,

me te mōmonatanga o te whenua,

kia nui anō hoki te wīti me te wāina!

29 Kia mahi ngā iwi ki a koe,

kia piko iho hoki ngā tauiwi ki a koe.

Kia waiho koe hei rangatira mō ōu tēina,

ā, kia piko iho ki a koe ngā tama a tōu whaea.

Kia kangā te tangata e kanga ana i a koe,

ā, kia manaakitia te tangata e manaaki ana i a koe."

Ka Īnoi a Ēhau mō te Manaakitanga o Īhaka

30 Ā, mutu ana te manaaki a Īhaka i a Hākopa, puta kau atu anō a Hākopa i te aroaro o Īhaka, o tōna pāpā, nā, ka tae mai a Ēhau, tōna tuakana, i tāna hopu kīrehe mohoao. 31 Kua oti anō hoki i a ia tētahi kai reka te taka, ā, kawea ana ki tōna pāpā, nā, ka mea ki tōna pāpā, "Kia ara ake tōku pāpā ki te kai i te mea i hopukia mai e tāna tama, kia manaaki ai tōu wairua i ahau."

32 Nā, ka mea a Īhaka, tōna pāpā, ki a ia, "Ko wai koe?"

Ā, ka mea ia, "Ko tāu tama ahau, ko Ēhau, ko tāu mātāmua."

33 Nā, tino wiri rawa ana a Īhaka, ā, ka mea, "Ha, ko wai rā tēnei i hopukia nei e ia he kai, ā, kawea ana mai ki ahau, ā, kainga katoatia ana e ahau i te mea kāhore anō koe i tae mai, ā, manaakitia ana ia e ahau? Āe rā, ka manaakitia anō ia."

34 Ā, i te rongonga o Ēhau i ngā kupu a tōna pāpā, ka tangi ia, he tangi nui, he tangi tīwerawera, ā, ka mea ki tōna pāpā, "Manaakitia ahau, āe rā, ahau anō hoki, e tōku pāpā."

35 Ā, ka mea ia, "I haere tinihanga mai tōu teina, ā, riro ana tōu manaaki i a ia."

36 Nā, ka mea ia, "Ka tika ha te tapanga i a ia ko Hākopa? Kua rua nei hoki ōku māmingatanga e ia. Ko tōku mātāmuatanga kua riro i a ia; ā, ināianei kua riro tōku manaaki i a ia." Ka mea anō ia, "Kāhore rānei i mahue atu ki a koe tētahi manaaki mōku?"

37 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhaka, ka mea ki a Ēhau, "Nā, kua waiho ia e ahau hei rangatira mōu, kua hoatu hoki ōna tuākana katoa ki a ia hei apa; kua whakaūkia hoki ia e ahau ki te wīti, ki te wāina. Ā, he aha rā māu hei meatanga māku, e tāku tama?"

38 Nā, ka mea a Ēhau ki tōna pāpā, "Kotahi tonu ia tāu manaaki, e tōku pāpā? Manaakitia ahau, āe rā, ahau anō hoki, e tōku pāpā." Nā, nui atu te reo o Ēhau ki te tangi.

39 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhaka, tōna pāpā, ka mea ki a ia:

"Nā, nō te mōmonatanga o te whenua te nohoanga mōu,

nō te tōmairangi hoki o te rangi i runga.

40 Mā tāu hoari hoki e ora ai koe,

me mahi anō koe ki tōu teina;

ā, tēnei ake, kei tōu kakenga hei rangatira,

nā, ka wāhia atu e koe tāna ioka i tōu kakī."

Ka Rere a Hākopa i te Riri o Ēhau

41 Nā, ka mauāhara a Ēhau ki a Hākopa mō te manaaki i manaakitia ai ia e tōna pāpā, ā, ka mea a Ēhau i roto i tōna ngākau, "E tata ana ngā rā e uhungatia ai tōku pāpā; ko reira ahau patu ai i tōku teina, i a Hākopa."

42 Nā, ka kōrerotia ki a Ripeka ngā kupu a Ēhau, a tāna tama ō mua. Ā, ka tono tangata ia ki te karanga i a Hākopa, i tāna tama ō muri, ka mea ki a ia, "Nā, tēnei tōu tuakana, a Ēhau, mō te wāhi ki a koe, te whakamārie nei i a ia, te mea nei ki te patu i a koe. 43 Nō konei, e tāku tama, whakarongo ki tōku reo; whakatika, e rere ki a Rāpana, ki tōku tungāne, ki Harana, 44 hei a ia koe noho ai mō ētahi rangi, kia tahuri atu rā anō te āritarita o tōu tuakana – 45 kia tahuri kē atu rā anō i a koe te riri a tōu tuakana, kia wareware hoki i a ia tāu i mea ai ki a ia. Kātahi ahau ka tono tangata ki te tiki atu i a koe i reira. He aha kia tangohia atu ai kōrua tokorua i ahau i te rangi kotahi?"

46 Nā, ka mea a Ripeka ki a Īhaka, "Kei te hōhā ahau ki te ora i ngā tamāhine a Hete. Ki te tango a Hākopa i tētahi wahine māna i roto i ngā tamāhine a Hete, i tētahi e pēnei ana me ēnei tamāhine o te whenua nei, hei aha ake mōku te ora?"
