Kamtawngnae 27
1 Hahoi, hettelah ao. Isak teh matawng toung dawkvah mithmu thai hoeh totouh a mitmawm hnukkhu, a capa kacue e Esaw hah a kaw teh ahni koevah, ka capa telah atipouh. Ahni ni hi vah ka o telah atipouh.
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 A na pa ni atu kai teh ka matawng toe. Na tueng maw ka due han ti hai ka panuek hoeh.
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi palabom hoi licung hah sin nateh kahrawng vah moi na ka pouh haw.
Now therefore take, I pray you, your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
4 Ka due hoehnahlan yawhawi na poe thai nahanlah ka ngai e patetlah katuipoung lah na thawng pouh nateh ka ca hanlah kai koevah thokhai telah atipouh.
And make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless you before I die.
5 Isak ni a capa Esaw hoi lawk a kâpato roi e hah Rebekah ni a thai. Hatdawkvah, Esaw teh moi ka hanlah kahrawng vah a cei.
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 Rebekah ni a capa Jakop koevah, thai haw, na pa ni na hmau Esaw koevah,
And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak unto Esau your brother, saying,
7 moi ka nateh ka due hoehnahlan ka ca vaiteh BAWIPA hmalah yawhawinae na poe thai nahanlah rawca katuipoung lah na thawng pouh haw telah a dei pouh e ka thai.
Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.
8 Hatdawkvah, ka capa kai ni kâ na poe e patetlah na ngâi han.
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9 Atu saringnaw koe cet nateh haw e hmaeca kahawi e kahni touh kai koevah thokhai. Hottelah, na pa hanlah, ama ni a ngai e patetlah katuipoung lah na thawng pouh han.
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury food for your father, such as he loves:
10 A due hoehnahlan yawhawinae na poe thai nahanlah a ca hane na pa koevah na ceikhai han telah atipouh.
And you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, and that he may bless you before his death.
11 Jakop ni a manu Rebekah koevah, Khenhaw! ka hmau Esaw teh muen puk a tho, hatei, kai teh muen ka tawn hoeh.
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12 Apa ni na payam pawiteh, ahni ka dum e lah kaawm vaiteh, yawhawinae laipalah thoebonae koe kâhmo payon han na vaimoe telah a manu koe atipouh.
My father possibly 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 Hatei, a manu ni ahni koevah, na thoebonae teh kai dawk phat na seh. Ka dei e hah tarawi nateh na lat pouh haw telah atipouh.
And his mother said unto him, Upon me be your curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
14 Ahni ni a cei teh a la. A manu koe a poe teh a manu ni na pa ni ngai e patetlah a thawng pouh.
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
15 Rebekah ni a capa kacue Esaw e khohna kahawipoung e, im ahni koe kaawm hah a la teh, a capa kanaw Jakop hah a khohna sak.
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 Hmae pho hah a kut hoi muen o hoeh nae lahuen dawk a bet pouh.
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17 Hahoi, ka tuipoung lah thawng e hmae moi hoi vaiyei hah a capa Jakop koevah a poe.
And she gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 Hatdawkvah, na pa koe vah a cei teh, apa telah ati teh, a na pa ni hi vah ka o, ka capa, api nang maw telah a pacei.
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who are you, my son?
19 Jakop ni a na pa koevah, na capa kacue Esaw doeh, na patoun e patetlah koung ka sak toe, pahren lahoi thaw nateh yawhawinae na poe thai nahanlah rawca heh cat leih telah atipouh.
And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau your first born; I have done according as you bade me: arise, I pray you, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.
20 Hatei, Isak ni a capa koevah, ka capa bangtelamaw telah karanglah na hmu thai telah atipouh. Ahni ni na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe dawk doeh telah atipouh.
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD your God brought it to me.
21 Isak ni ka capa, na payam thai nahanlah pahren lahoi na hnai haw. Ka capa Esaw katang maw telah atipouh.
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray you, that I may feel you, my son, whether you be my very son Esau or not.
22 Jakop ni a na pa Isak teh a hnai. A na pa ni a payam teh na lawk teh Jakop e lawk doeh, a kut teh Esaw e a kut doeh telah ati.
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 A kut hah a hmau Esaw e kut patetlah muen a tho dawkvah, panuek thai laipalah yawhawinae a poe.
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
24 A na pa ni, ka capa Esaw nang ka tang maw telah atipouh. Ahni ni, Oe kai doeh telah atipouh.
And he said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
25 Ahni ni, kai koe rek thokhai haw yawhawinae na poe thai nahanlah ka capa ni thokhai e moi teh ka ca hanlah telah ati. Hahoi, a hnai teh a ca. Misur hai a poe teh a nei.
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
26 A na pa Isak ni ahni koevah, ka capa na hnai nateh na paco haw telah atipouh.
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 Hatdawkvah, a hnai teh a paco Ahni ni khohna hmui hah a thai teh yawhawi a poe. Thaihaw! ka capa e hmui heh BAWIPA ni yawhawinae ram hmuitui patetlah ao roeroe.
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 has blessed:
28 Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni kalvan e tadamtui thoseh, talai hawinae thoseh, cakang moikapap hoi misur moikapap na poe naseh.
Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29 Miphunnaw ni na thaw tawk awh naseh, miphun hah na hmalah tabawk awh naseh. Na hmaunawnghanaw e bawi lah awm nateh, na manu e canaw na hmalah tabawk awh naseh. Thoe na ka bo naw pueng thoebo lah ao vaiteh yawhawinae na ka poe e pueng hah yawhawi awh naseh telah ati.
Let people serve you, and nations bow down to you: be lord over your brethren, and let your mother's sons bow down to you: cursed be every one that curses you, and blessed be he that blesses you.
30 Hahoi, hettelah ao. Isak ni Jakop yawhawinae phouk a poe nah Jakop teh a na pa koehoi nueng a tâco tahma vah Esaw teh samram a ceinae koehoi a tho.
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 Ahni ni hai katuipoung lah a thawng van teh, a na pa koevah a thokhai. A na pa koevah, na hringnae ni yawhawi na poe nahanlah apa teh a thaw vaiteh, a capa ni thokhai e moi hah cat naseh telah ati.
And he also had made savoury food, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me.
32 A na pa Isak ni ahni koevah, nang apimaw telah a pacei. Ahni ni na capa, na ca kacue Esaw doeh telah atipouh.
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.
33 Isak teh pueng hoi a pâyaw teh, moi ka hoi kai koe ka thokhai e teh apimaw. Nang na tho hoehnahlan ca vah koung ka ca teh yawhawi ka poe e hah teh api namaw. Ahni teh yawhawi lah ao roeroe han, telah ati.
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
34 Esaw ni a na pa e lawk dei e a thai navah, pueng hoi a ka teh a na pa koevah, Oe apa, kai hai, yawhawinae na poe telah atipouh.
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 Hateiteh, a na pa ni na nawngha ni na dum teh na yawhawinae na la pouh toe telah atipouh.
And he said, Your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your blessing.
36 Esaw ni a min lah Jakop tie heh ahman katang nahoehmaw. Kai heh vai hni touh na dum teh na tâ toe. Camin coungnae na lah pouh. Atu ka yawhawinae bout na la pouh telah ati. Ahni roeroe ni yawhawinae na tat pouh hoeh maw, telah ati.
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?
37 Isak ni Esaw koe vah, khenhaw! ahni teh na bawi lah ka coung sak teh a hmaunawnghanaw pueng hai a san lah koung ka poe toe. Cakang hoi misur hoi ka kawk toe. Ka capa nang hanlah bangmaw na sak pouh han telah atipouh.
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him your 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 you, my son?
38 Esaw ni a na pa koevah, apa yawhawinae buet touh dueng maw na tawn Oe apa kai hai yawhawi na poe lah telah ati. Hatdawkvah, Esaw teh ngawngngawng a ka.
And Esau said unto his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 A na pa Isak ni Esaw koevah, thai haw, na o nahane teh talai kahawi hoi kahlun lahoi tadamtui hoi a kâhla han.
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
40 Na tahloi hoi na kâkawk vaiteh na nawngha e thaw na tawk pouh han. Hahoi, hettelah ao han, kâhat laipalah na kâroe hnukkhu, a kahnam rui hah na lahuen dawk hoi a ling han telah atipouh.
And by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck.
41 A na pa ni yawhawi a poe dawkvah Esaw ni Jakop hah a hmuhma teh a lung hoi apa ka khuinae hnin teh a hnai toe. Hat hnukkhu ka nawngha Jakop teh ka thei han telah ati.
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 A capa kacue Esaw ni a dei e lawk hah Rebekah koe a dei pouh awh. Rebekah ni a capa kanaw Jakop a kaw teh, thai haw, na hmau Esaw teh nang na thei to doeh a lungroum ti.
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, your brother Esau, as concerning you, does comfort himself, purposing to kill you.
43 Hatdawkvah, atu ka dei e hah ngai. Thaw nateh Haran vah ka thangroi Laban koe vah yawng,
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee you to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 Na hmau a lungkhueknae a roum hoehroukrak thung teh haw vah awm ei.
And tarry with him a few days, until your brother's fury turn away;
45 Nange lathueng vah na hmau lungkhueknae a roum teh a lathueng vah na sak e heh a pahnim torei, tami ka patoun vaiteh na la sak han. Bangkongmaw hnin touh dawkvah nangmouh roi ka sung han telah ati.
Until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forget that which you have done to him: then I will send, and fetch you from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
46 Rebekah ni Isak koevah, Heth canunaw kecu dawk kai hring hane ka ngai hoeh toe. Jakop ni hete ram dawk e canunaw patet e tami, a yu lah lat pawiteh, kai ka hringnae aphu bangmaw kaawm han toung telah atipouh.
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?
