Génesis 27
1 Cuando Isaac envejeció, y sus ojos se oscurecieron, de modo que no podía ver, llamó a Esaú, su hijo mayor, y le dijo: “¿Hijo mío?” Le dijo: “Aquí estoy”.
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
2 Él dijo: “Mira ahora, soy viejo. No sé el día de mi muerte.
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Ahora, pues, por favor, toma tus armas, tu carcaj y tu arco, y sal al campo, y tráeme venado.
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;
4 Prepárame una comida sabrosa, como las que me gustan, y tráemela, para que coma y mi alma te bendiga antes de morir.”
And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring [it] to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
5 Rebeca escuchó cuando Isaac habló con su hijo Esaú. Esaú fue al campo a cazar venado y a traerlo.
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring [it].
6 Rebeca habló a su hijo Jacob, diciendo: “He aquí que he oído a tu padre hablar a Esaú, tu hermano, diciendo:
And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7 ‘Tráeme venado, y hazme comida sabrosa, para que yo coma, y te bendiga delante de Yahvé antes de mi muerte’.
Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
8 Ahora, pues, hijo mío, obedece mi voz según lo que te mando.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9 Ve ahora al rebaño y tráeme dos buenos cabritos de allí. Yo los haré comida sabrosa para tu padre, como a él le gusta.
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
10 Se lo llevarás a tu padre para que coma y te bendiga antes de su muerte.”
And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11 Jacob dijo a su madre Rebeca: “Mira, mi hermano Esaú es un hombre velludo, y yo soy un hombre liso.
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:
12 ¿Y si mi padre me toca? Le pareceré un engañador, y traería una maldición sobre mí, y no una bendición”.
My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13 Su madre le dijo: “Que tu maldición caiga sobre mí, hijo mío. Sólo obedece mi voz, y ve a buscarlos por mí”.
And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].
14 Fue a buscarlos y se los llevó a su madre. Su madre preparó una comida sabrosa, como la que le gustaba a su padre.
And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
15 Rebeca tomó los buenos vestidos de Esaú, su hijo mayor, que estaban con ella en la casa, y se los puso a Jacob, su hijo menor.
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which [were] with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
16 Puso las pieles de los cabritos en sus manos y en la parte lisa de su cuello.
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17 Dio la comida sabrosa y el pan que había preparado en manos de su hijo Jacob.
And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Se acercó a su padre y le dijo: “¿Padre mío?” Dijo: “Aquí estoy. ¿Quién eres tú, hijo mío?”
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?
19 Jacob dijo a su padre: “Yo soy Esaú, tu primogénito. He hecho lo que me pediste. Por favor, levántate, siéntate y come de mi venado, para que tu alma me bendiga”.
And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 Isaac dijo a su hijo: “¿Cómo es que lo has encontrado tan rápido, hijo mío?” Dijo: “Porque Yahvé, tu Dios, me dio el éxito”.
And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought [it] to me.
21 Isaac dijo a Jacob: “Por favor, acércate para que pueda sentirte, hijo mío, si realmente eres mi hijo Esaú o no”.
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.
22 Jacob se acercó a su padre Isaac. Lo palpó y dijo: “La voz es de Jacob, pero las manos son de Esaú”.
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob’s voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
23 No lo reconoció, porque sus manos eran peludas, como las de su hermano Esaú. Así que lo bendijo.
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
24 Le dijo: “¿Eres realmente mi hijo Esaú?” Él dijo: “Yo soy”.
And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said, I [am].
25 Dijo: “Acércamelo, y comeré del venado de mi hijo, para que mi alma te bendiga”. Se lo acercó, y comió. Le trajo vino, y bebió.
And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Su padre Isaac le dijo: “Acércate ahora y bésame, hijo mío”.
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 Se acercó y lo besó. Olió el olor de su ropa, lo bendijo y dijo, “He aquí el olor de mi hijo es como el olor de un campo que Yahvé ha bendecido.
And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son [is] as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
28 Dios te dé del rocío del cielo, de la grosura de la tierra, y mucho grano y vino nuevo.
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29 Que los pueblos te sirvan, y las naciones se inclinan ante ti. Sé el señor de tus hermanos. Que los hijos de tu madre se inclinen ante ti. Maldito sea todo aquel que te maldiga. Bendito sea todo aquel que te bendiga”.
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed [be] every one that curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that blesseth thee.
30 Cuando Isaac terminó de bendecir a Jacob, y éste acababa de salir de la presencia de su padre Isaac, su hermano Esaú llegó de su cacería.
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 Él también preparó comida sabrosa y se la llevó a su padre. Dijo a su padre: “Que mi padre se levante y coma de la carne de caza de su hijo, para que tu alma me bendiga”.
And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32 Su padre Isaac le dijo: “¿Quién eres tú?” Dijo: “Soy tu hijo, tu primogénito, Esaú”.
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said, I [am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
33 Isaac se estremeció violentamente y dijo: “¿Quién es, pues, el que ha tomado carne de venado y me la ha traído, y yo he comido de todo antes de que vinieras, y lo he bendecido? Sí, será bendecido”.
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where [is] he that hath taken venison, and brought [it] me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed.
34 Cuando Esaú escuchó las palabras de su padre, lloró con un grito muy grande y amargo, y dijo a su padre: “Bendíceme, a mí también, padre mío”.
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, [even] me also, O my father.
35 Dijo: “Tu hermano vino con engaño y te ha quitado la bendición”.
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36 Dijo: “¿No se llama Jacob con razón? Porque me ha suplantado estas dos veces. Me quitó la primogenitura. Mira, ahora me ha quitado la bendición”. Dijo: “¿No me has reservado una bendición?”.
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
37 Isaac respondió a Esaú: “He aquí que lo he hecho tu señor, y a todos sus hermanos se los he dado por servidores. Lo he mantenido con grano y vino nuevo. ¿Qué haré entonces por ti, hijo mío?”
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
38 Esaú dijo a su padre: “¿Tienes una sola bendición, padre mío? Bendíceme a mí también, padre mío”. Esaú alzó la voz y lloró.
And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, [even] me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 Isaac, su padre, le respondió, “He aquí que tu morada será de la grosura de la tierra, y del rocío del cielo desde arriba.
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
40 Vivirás con tu espada y servirás a tu hermano. Ocurrirá, cuando te liberes, que sacudirás su yugo de tu cuello”.
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
41 Esaú odiaba a Jacob a causa de la bendición con que su padre lo había bendecido. Esaú dijo en su corazón: “Se acercan los días de luto por mi padre. Entonces mataré a mi hermano Jacob”.
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
42 Las palabras de Esaú, su hijo mayor, fueron contadas a Rebeca. Ella envió y llamó a Jacob, su hijo menor, y le dijo: “Mira, tu hermano Esaú se consuela de ti planeando matarte.
And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, [purposing] to kill thee.
43 Ahora, pues, hijo mío, obedece mi voz. Levántate y huye a Labán, mi hermano, en Harán.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 Quédate con él unos días, hasta que la furia de tu hermano se aleje...
And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away;
45 hasta que la ira de tu hermano se aleje de ti, y se olvide de lo que le has hecho. Entonces enviaré y te sacaré de allí. ¿Por qué he de perderos a los dos en un solo día?”
Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget [that] which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
46 Rebeca dijo a Isaac: “Estoy cansada de mi vida a causa de las hijas de Het. Si Jacob toma una esposa de las hijas de Het, como éstas, de las hijas de la tierra, ¿de qué me servirá mi vida?”
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these [which are] of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
