Genesis 27
1 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.
Cuando Isaac era viejo y se le habían debilitado los ojos, de modo que ya no veía, llamó a Esaú, su hijo mayor, y le dijo: “Hijo mío”; el cual le contestó: “Heme aquí.”
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
Y dijo: “Mira, yo soy viejo, y no sé el día de mi muerte.
3 Now therefore take, I pray you, your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
Toma, pues, ahora tus armas, tu aljaba, y tu arco, y sal al campo, cázame algo,
4 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.
y prepárame un buen guiso, según mi gusto, y tráemele para comida, y mi alma te bendecirá antes de morirme.”
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Mas Rebeca estaba escuchando cuando Isaac hablaba a Esaú, su hijo; y cuando Esaú fue al campo a cazar una presa de casa para traérselo,
6 And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak unto Esau your brother, saying,
habló Rebeca con Jacob, su hijo, diciendo: “Mira, he oído a tu padre cómo hablando con Esaú tu hermano, le decía:
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.
‘Tráeme caza, y hazme un buen guiso para comida, y te bendeciré delante de Yahvé antes de morirme’.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
Ahora bien, hijo mío, oye mi voz en lo que te mando.
9 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:
Ve al rebaño, y tráeme de allí dos buenos cabritos; y yo haré con ellos para tu padre un sabroso guiso como a él le gusta;
10 And you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, and that he may bless you before his death.
y se lo presentarás a tu padre, el cual lo comerá y te bendecirá antes de su muerte”.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
Contestó Jacob a Rebeca, su madre: “Mira que Esaú, mi hermano, es hombre velludo, y yo lampiño.
12 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.
Quizás me palpe mi padre; seré entonces a sus ojos como quien se burla de él y me acarrearé maldición, en lugar de bendición.”
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be your curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Replicole su madre: “Sobre mí tu maldición, hijo mío; oye tan solo mi voz, anda y tráemelos.”
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
Fue, pues, a tomarlos, y los trajo a su madre; e hizo su madre un sabroso guiso, como le gustaba a su padre.
15 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:
Después tomó Rebeca vestidos de Esaú, su hijo mayor, los mejores que tenía en casa, y los vistió a Jacob, su hijo menor.
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
Y con las pieles de los cabritos le cubrió las manos y la parte lisa de su cuello.
17 And she gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Luego puso el guiso y el pan que había preparado, en manos de Jacob su hijo,
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who are you, my son?
el cual entró donde estaba su padre, y dijo “Padre mío”, a lo que este respondió: “Heme aquí; ¿quién eres, hijo mío?”
19 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.
“Yo soy tu primogénito Esaú”, dijo Jacob a su padre. “He hecho como me dijiste; levántate, te ruego, siéntate, y come de mi caza, para que me bendiga tu alma.”
20 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.
Preguntó Isaac a su hijo: “¿Cómo es que has podido encontrarla tan pronto, hijo mío?” El cual respondió: “porque Yahvé, tu Dios me la puso delante.”
21 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.
Dijo entonces Isaac a Jacob: “Acércate, y te palparé, a ver si realmente eres o no mi hijo Esaú.”
22 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.
Acercose, pues Jacob a su padre Isaac, el cual lo palpó y dijo: “La voz es la voz de Jacob, pero las manos son las manos de Esaú.”
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
Y no lo reconoció, porque sus manos estaban velludas, como las manos de su hermano Esaú y así lo bendijo.
24 And he said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
Pero repitió la pregunta: “¿Eres tú realmente mi hijo Esaú?” Y él respondió: “Soy yo.”
25 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.
Dijo entonces: “Acércame la caza, y comeré de ella, hijo mío, para que te bendiga mi alma.” Se la acercó, y comió; le sirvió también vino y bebió.
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Después le dijo Isaac, su padre: “Acércate y bésame, hijo mío.”
27 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:
Se acercó y lo besó; y cuando (Isaac) sintió la fragancia de sus vestidos, le bendijo diciendo: “Mira, el olor de mi hijo es como el olor de un campo bendecido por Yahvé.
28 Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
¡Te de Dios del rocío del cielo, y de la grosura de la tierra, y abundancia de trigo y de vino!
29 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.
¡Sírvante pueblos, y póstrense delante de ti naciones; sé señor de tus hermanos, e inclínense ante ti los hijos de tu madre! ¡Maldito el que te maldiga, y bendito quien te bendiga!”
30 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.
Apenas Isaac había acabado de bendecir a Jacob, y no bien había salido Jacob de la presencia de su padre Isaac, cuando Esaú, su hermano, volvió de su caza.
31 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.
Hizo también un sabroso guiso y presentándolo a su padre le dijo: “Levántese mi padre y coma la caza de su hijo, para que me bendiga tu alma.”
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn Esau.
Isaac, su padre, le dijo: “¿Quién eres tú?” Le contestó: “Soy tu hijo, el primogénito tuyo Esaú.”
33 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.
Asombrose Isaac sobremanera, hasta el extremo, y dijo: “¿Quién es, pues, aquel que fue a cazar y me trajo caza, y yo he comido de todo antes que tu vinieses, y lo he bendecido de suerte que quedará bendito?”
34 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.
Al oír Esaú las palabras de su padre, lanzó un grito fuerte y extremadamente amargo, y dijo a su padre: “¡Bendíceme también a mí, padre mío!”
35 And he said, Your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your blessing.
Mas él respondió: “Ha venido tu hermano con engaño, y se ha llevado tu bendición.”
36 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?
Dijo entonces (Esaú): “Con razón se llama Jacob; pues me ha suplantado ya dos veces: me quitó la primogenitura, y ya ves que ahora me ha quitado la bendición.” Y añadió “¿No has reservado bendición para mí?
37 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?
Isaac respondió y dijo a Esaú: “Mira, le he puesto por señor tuyo, le he dado por siervos a todos sus hermanos y le he provisto de trigo y vino. Por ti, pues, ¿qué podré hacer ahora, hijo mío?”
38 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.
Dijo Esaú a su padre: “¿No tienes más que un sola bendición, padre mío? ¡Bendíceme también a mí, padre mío!” y levantó Esaú su voz y rompió a llorar.
39 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;
Entonces repuso Isaac, su padre, diciendo: “He aquí que lejos de la grosura de la tierra será tu morada, y lejos del rocío que baja del cielo.
40 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.
De tu espada vivirás, y servirás a tu hermano, pero cuando empieces a dominar, romperás su yugo de sobre tu cerviz.”
41 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.
Esaú concibió odio contra Jacob a causa de la bendición con que le había bendecido su padre; y dijo Esaú en su corazón: “Se acercan ya los días en que haré duelo por mi padre; después mataré a Jacob, mi hermano.”
42 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.
Rebeca tuvo noticia de las palabras de Esaú, su hijo mayor; por lo cual envió a llamar a Jacob, su hijo menor, y le dijo: “Mira, tu hermano Esaú quiere vengarse de ti, matándote.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee you to Laban my brother to Haran;
Ahora, pues, hijo mío, oye mi voz: levántate y huye a Harán, a casa de mi hermano Labán;
44 And tarry with him a few days, until your brother's fury turn away;
y estarás con él algún tiempo, hasta que se apacigüe la cólera de tu hermano;
45 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?
hasta que la ira de tu hermano se aparte de ti, y él se olvide de lo que le has hecho. Yo entonces enviaré por ti y te traeré de allá. ¿Por qué he de quedar privada de vosotros dos en un mismo día?
46 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?
Y dijo Rebeca a Isaac: “Me da fastidio el vivir, a causa de las hijas de Het. Si Jacob toma mujer de las hijas de Het, como estas, de las hijas de este país, ¿para qué seguir viviendo?”
