< Genesis 27 >

1 It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyesight was failing 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."
以撒年老,眼睛昏花,不能看见,就叫了他大儿子以扫来,说:“我儿。”以扫说:“我在这里。”
2 He said, "Look, I am old now. I do not know the day of my death.
他说:“我如今老了,不知道哪一天死。
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt down a wild animal for me.
现在拿你的器械,就是箭囊和弓,往田野去为我打猎,
4 Make me the tasty food that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die."
照我所爱的做成美味,拿来给我吃,使我在未死之先给你祝福。”
5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went out to the field to hunt for a wild animal and bring it back to his father.
以撒对他儿子以扫说话,利百加也听见了。以扫往田野去打猎,要得野味带来。
6 And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Look, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
利百加就对她儿子雅各说:“我听见你父亲对你哥哥以扫说:
7 'Bring me a wild animal and prepare for me some tasty food, that I may eat it and bless you in my presence before my death.'
‘你去把野兽带来,做成美味给我吃,我好在未死之先,在耶和华面前给你祝福。’
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
现在,我儿,你要照着我所吩咐你的,听从我的话。
9 Go now to the flock, and get me from there two choice young goats. I will prepare them in a tasty way for your father, the way he likes it.
你到羊群里去,给我拿两只肥山羊羔来,我便照你父亲所爱的给他做成美味。
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."
你拿到你父亲那里给他吃,使他在未死之先给你祝福。”
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
雅各对他母亲利百加说:“我哥哥以扫浑身是有毛的,我身上是光滑的;
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."
倘若我父亲摸着我,必以我为欺哄人的,我就招咒诅,不得祝福。”
13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me."
他母亲对他说:“我儿,你招的咒诅归到我身上;你只管听我的话,去把羊羔给我拿来。”
14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.
他便去拿来,交给他母亲;他母亲就照他父亲所爱的做成美味。
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.
利百加又把家里所存大儿子以扫上好的衣服给她小儿子雅各穿上,
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和颈项的光滑处,
17 She handed the tasty food and the bread which she had prepared to her son Jacob.
就把所做的美味和饼交在她儿子雅各的手里。
18 He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"
雅各到他父亲那里说:“我父亲!”他说:“我在这里。我儿,你是谁?”
19 Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please sit up and eat what I hunted so that you can bless me."
雅各对他父亲说:“我是你的长子以扫;我已照你所吩咐我的行了。请起来坐着,吃我的野味,好给我祝福。”
20 Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because your God gave me success."
以撒对他儿子说:“我儿,你如何找得这么快呢?”他说:“因为耶和华—你的 神使我遇见好机会得着的。”
21 Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."
以撒对雅各说:“我儿,你近前来,我摸摸你,知道你真是我的儿子以扫不是。”
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."
雅各就挨近他父亲以撒。以撒摸着他,说:“声音是雅各的声音,手却是以扫的手。”
23 He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau. So he blessed him.
以撒就辨不出他来;因为他手上有毛,像他哥哥以扫的手一样,就给他祝福;
24 He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He said, "I am."
又说:“你真是我儿子以扫吗?”他说:“我是。”
25 He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of what my son caught so that I can bless you." He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
以撒说:“你递给我,我好吃我儿子的野味,给你祝福。”雅各就递给他,他便吃了,又拿酒给他,他也喝了。
26 His father Isaac said to him, "Come near now, and kiss me, my son."
他父亲以撒对他说:“我儿,你上前来与我亲嘴。”
27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the scent of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, "Look, the scent of my son is as the scent of a field which God has blessed.
他就上前与父亲亲嘴。他父亲一闻他衣服上的香气,就给他祝福,说: 我儿的香气 如同耶和华赐福之田地的香气一样。
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
愿 神赐你天上的甘露, 地上的肥土, 并许多五谷新酒。
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."
愿多民事奉你, 多国跪拜你。 愿你作你弟兄的主; 你母亲的儿子向你跪拜。 凡咒诅你的,愿他受咒诅; 为你祝福的,愿他蒙福。
30 It happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just left the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
以撒为雅各祝福已毕,雅各从他父亲那里才出来,他哥哥以扫正打猎回来,
31 He also made some tasty food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father get up and eat of what his son caught, so that you may bless me."
也做了美味,拿来给他父亲,说:“请父亲起来,吃你儿子的野味,好给我祝福。”
32 Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."
他父亲以撒对他说:“你是谁?”他说:“我是你的长子以扫。”
33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who was it then that hunted an animal and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed."
以撒就大大地战兢,说:“你未来之先,是谁得了野味拿来给我呢?我已经吃了,为他祝福;他将来也必蒙福。”
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out loudly and bitterly, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."
以扫听了他父亲的话,就放声痛哭,说:“我父啊,求你也为我祝福!”
35 He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."
以撒说:“你兄弟已经用诡计来将你的福分夺去了。”
36 He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has taken what should have been mine these two times. He took away my birthright. Look, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"
以扫说:“他名雅各,岂不是正对吗?因为他欺骗了我两次:他从前夺了我长子的名分,你看,他现在又夺了我的福分。”以扫又说:“你没有留下为我可祝的福吗?”
37 Isaac answered Esau, "Look, I have made him your lord, and I have made all of his brothers his servants. And I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then can I do for you, my son?"
以撒回答以扫说:“我已立他为你的主,使他的弟兄都给他作仆人,并赐他五谷新酒可以养生。我儿,现在我还能为你做什么呢?”
38 Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
以扫对他父亲说:“父啊,你只有一样可祝的福吗?我父啊,求你也为我祝福!”以扫就放声而哭。
39 Isaac his father answered him, "Look, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.
他父亲以撒说: 地上的肥土必为你所住; 天上的甘露必为你所得。
40 By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."
你必倚靠刀剑度日, 又必事奉你的兄弟; 到你强盛的时候, 必从你颈项上挣开他的轭。
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."
以扫因他父亲给雅各祝的福,就怨恨雅各,心里说:“为我父亲居丧的日子近了,到那时候,我要杀我的兄弟雅各。”
42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, "Look, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
有人把利百加大儿子以扫的话告诉利百加,她就打发人去,叫了她小儿子雅各来,对他说:“你哥哥以扫想要杀你,报仇雪恨。
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
现在,我儿,你要听我的话:起来,逃往哈兰、我哥哥拉班那里去,
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away;
同他住些日子,直等你哥哥的怒气消了。
45 until your brother's anger against you subsides, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and get you from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?"
你哥哥向你消了怒气,忘了你向他所做的事,我便打发人去把你从那里带回来。为什么一日丧你们二人呢?”
46 Rebekah said to Isaac, "I loathe my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, what good is my life?"
利百加对以撒说:“我因这赫人的女子连性命都厌烦了;倘若雅各也娶赫人的女子为妻,像这些一样,我活着还有什么益处呢?”
