Yacquub Oo Helay Barakadii Isxaaq

27 Markii Isxaaq gaboobay, oo ay indhihiisii u arag darnaayeen si uusan waxba arki karin, ayuu u yeedhay wiilkiisii weynaa oo Ceesaw ahaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow. Isaguna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan. Markaasuu yidhi, Bal i eeg, haatan waan gaboobay, garanna maayo maalinta dhimashadayda. Sidaas daraaddeed waan ku baryayaaye, qaado hubkaaga, gabooyahaaga iyo qaansadaada, oo duurka u bax, oo hilib ugaadheed ii keen; oo ii samee hilib macaan, oo ah kan aan jeclahay, oo ii keen, aan cunee, inay naftaydu kuu ducayso intaanan dhiman. Rebeqahna way maqashay markii Isxaaq la hadlay wiilkiisii Ceesaw. Ceesawna duurkuu u kacay inuu ugaadh soo dilo oo uu keeno. Markaasay Rebeqah la hadashay wiilkeedii Yacquub, oo tidhi, Waxaan maqlay aabbahaa oo la hadlaya walaalkaa Ceesaw, isagoo leh, Hilib ugaadheed ii keen, oo ii samee hilib macaan, aan cunee, oo aan kuugu duceeyee Rabbiga hortiis intaanan dhimane. Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilkaygiiyow, codkayga u addeec sida aan kuugu amro. Bal adhiga u kac, oo iiga keen laba waxar oo wanwanaagsan, oo waxaan aabbahaa uga samayn hilib macaan, oo ah kan uu jecel yahay, 10 adna aabbahaa waad u geeyn doontaa inuu cuno, si uu kuugu duceeyo intuusan dhiman. 11 Yacquubna wuxuu hooyadiis Rebeqah ku yidhi, Walaalkay Ceesaw waa nin xaad badan, anna waxaan ahay nin xaad yar. 12 Mindhaa aabbahay waa i taaban doonaa, oo markaasaan ula ekaan doonaa khaa'in, oo habaar baan isu soo jiidi doonaa, ducose ma heli doono. 13 Oo hooyadiis baa ku tidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, habaarkaagu aniga ha igu dhaco: codkayga uun addeec, oo orod oo ii keen iyaga. 14 Markaasuu tegey, oo soo kaxeeyey, oo u keenay hooyadiis, hooyadiisna waxay samaysay hilib macaan, oo ah sidii kii aabbihiis jeclaa. 15 Markaasaa Rebeqah waxay soo qaadday dharkii wanaagsanaa oo wiilkeedii weynaa oo ahaa Ceesaw, oo ay guriga ku haysay, oo waxay u xidhay wiilkeedii yaraa oo ahaa Yacquub; 16 markaasay waxarihii hargahoodii ku xidhay gacmihiisii iyo intii aan xaadda lahayn oo luquntiisii. 17 Markaasay hilibkii macaanaa iyo kibistii ay diyaarisay u dhiibtay wiilkeedii Yacquub. 18 Kolkaasuu aabbihiis u yimid, oo yidhi, Aabbow. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa i kan. Kumaad tahay, wiilkaygiiyow? 19 Yacquubna wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Waxaan ahay curadkaagii Ceesaw. Waan sameeyey sidii aad iigu amartay. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, kac oo fadhiiso oo cun hilibkaygan ugaadheed, si aad iigu ducayso. 20 Isxaaqna wuxuu wiilkiisii ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, sidee baad dhaqso ugu soo heshay? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga ah Ilaahaaga ayaa ii keenay. 21 Isxaaqna wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Soo dhowow, waan ku baryayaaye, aan ku taabtee, wiilkaygiiyow, bal inaad tahay wiilkaygii Ceesaw iyo in kale. 22 Yacquubna waa u dhowaaday aabbihiis Isxaaq; markaasuu taabtay oo yidhi, Codku waa codkii Yacquub, gacmuhuse waa gacmihii Ceesaw. 23 Mana uu garanin, maxaa yeelay, gacmihiisu xaad miidhan bay ahaayeen sidii gacmihii walaalkiis Ceesaw; sidaas daraaddeed wuu u duceeyey. 24 Kolkaasuu yidhi, War ma tahay wiilkaygii Ceesaw qudhiisii? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waan ahay. 25 Markaasuu ku yidhi. Bal ii soo dhowee, aan cunee wiilkayga hilibkiisa ugaadheed, si aan kuugu duceeyo. Kolkaasuu u soo dhoweeyey, oo isna wuu cunay: oo wuxuu kaloo u keenay khamri, wuuna cabbay. 26 Markaasaa aabbihiis Isxaaq ku yidhi, Bal ii soo dhowow, oo i dhunko, wiilkaygiiyow. 27 Isna wuu u soo dhowaaday, oo wuu dhunkaday. Markaasuu ursaday dharkiisa, wuuna u duceeyey, oo yidhi,

Bal eeg, urta wiilkaygu
Waa sida urta duurka Rabbigu barakeeyey,
28 Ilaahu ha ku siiyo sayaxa samada,
Iyo barwaaqada dhulka,
Iyo hadhuudh iyo khamri badan.
29 Dadyowgu ha kuu adeegeen,
Quruumuhuna ha kuu sujuudeen.
Walaalahaa sayid u noqo,
Wiilasha hooyadaana ha kuu sujuudeen.
Ha inkaarnaado ku kasta oo ku inkaaraa,
Ha ducaysnaado ku kasta oo kuu duceeyaa.

30 Markii Isxaaq dhammeeyey ducadii uu Yacquub u ducaynayay, Yacquubna ka tegey aabbihiis, ayaa walaalkiis Ceesaw ka yimid ugaadhsigii. 31 Oo isna hilib macaan buu sameeyey, oo u keenay aabbihiis; oo wuxuu ku yidhi aabbihiis, Aabbow kac, oo cun hilibkaygan ugaadheed, si aad iigu ducayso. 32 Markaasaa aabbihiis Isxaaq ku yidhi, Kumaad tahay? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ahay wiilkaaga ah curadkaaga Ceesaw. 33 Markaasuu Isxaaq aad iyo aad u gariiray, oo yidhi, De yuu ahaa haddaba kii intuu hilib ugaadheed soo qaaday, ii keenay, oo aan kulli cunay intaadan iman ka hor, oo aan u duceeyey? Kaasu wuu ducaysnaan doonaa. 34 Ceesawna markuu maqlay hadalkii aabbihiis ayuu ku dhawaaqay dhawaaq aad iyo aad u weyn oo daran, oo wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Aabbahayow, anigana ii ducee. 35 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Walaalkaa baa khiyaano iila yimid oo ducadaadii qaatay. 36 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Miyaanay ku habboonayn in magiciisa loo bixiyo Yacquub? Waayo, labadan goor buu i khiyaaneeyey. Curadnimadaydii buu qaatay; haatanna wuxuu qaatay ducadaydii. Oo wuxuu yidhi, Miyaadan duco ii reebin? 37 Isxaaqna wuu jawaabay oo wuxuu Ceesaw ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan isaga ka dhigay sayidkaagii, walaalihiis oo dhanna waxaan u siiyey isaga inay addoommo u noqdaan, hadhuudh iyo khamrina waan u ballanqaaday, ee maxaan haddaba adiga kuu sameeyaa, wiilkaygiiyow? 38 Ceesawna wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Aabbahayow, ducadaadu ma mid keliya baa? Ii ducee anigana sidoo kale, Aabbow. Markaasuu Ceesaw aad u qayliyey oo ooyay. 39 Markaasaa aabbihiis Isxaaq u jawaabay oo ku yidhi,

Bal eeg, rugtaadu waxay ahaan doontaa meel ka baxsan dhulka barwaaqadiisa
Iyo sayaxa samada sare ka yimaada.
40 Oo waxaad ku noolaan doontaa seeftaada, walaalkaana waad u adeegi doontaa,
Oo waxaa dhici doonta markaad xukunka qabsato
Inaad harqoodkiisa surkaaga ka tuuri doonto.

Yacquub Oo U Cararaya Laabaan

41 Ceesawna wuxuu Yacquub u nebcaaday ducadii aabbihiis ugu duceeyey aawadeed. Ceesawna wuxuu isku yidhi, Maalmihii aabbahay loo barooran lahaa waa dhow yihiin; dabadeedna waan dili doonaa walaalkay Yacquub. 42 Rebeqahna waxaa loo sheegay hadalkii wiilkeedii weynaa oo ahaa Ceesaw; markaasay intay u cid dirtay u yeedhay wiilkeedii yaraa oo ahaa Yacquub, oo waxay ku tidhi isagii, Bal eeg, walaalkaa Ceesaw wuxuu isku qalbi qabowjiyaa talajirka uu ku talo jiro inuu ku dilo. 43 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed wiilkaygiiyow, codkayga addeec. Kac oo u carar walaalkay Laabaan xagga Haaraan; 44 oo dhawr maalmood isaga la joog, ilaa walaalkaa ciilku ka ba'ayo, iyo ilaa walaalkaa cadhaduu kuu qabo ka ba'ayso, 45 oo uu ka illoobayo wixii aad ku samaysay: dabadeedna waan kuu soo cid diri doonaa, oo halkaasaan kaa soo kaxayn doonaa. Maxaan labadiinnaba isku maalin idiin waayayaa?

46 Rebeqahna waxay Isxaaq ku tidhi, Naftaydu waa rafaadsan tahay gabdhaha reer Xeed dartood. Haddii Yacquub naag ka guursado gabdhaha reer Xeed oo kuwan oo kale ah, kuwaas oo ah gabdhaha waddanka, noloshaydu maxay igu taraysaa?

Isaac Blesses Jacob

27 Now it came to pass, when Isaac was (A)old and (B)his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.”

And he answered him, “Here I am.”

Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I (C)do not know the day of my death. (D)Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. And make me [a]savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul (E)may bless you before I die.”

Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it. So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying, ‘Bring me game and make [b]savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’ Now therefore, my son, (F)obey my voice according to what I command you. Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make (G)savory food from them for your father, such as he loves. 10 Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he (H)may bless you before his death.”

11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, (I)Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man. 12 Perhaps my father will (J)feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring (K)a curse on myself and not a blessing.”

13 But his mother said to him, (L)Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.” 14 And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother (M)made [c]savory food, such as his father loved. 15 Then Rebekah took (N)the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son. 16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. 17 Then she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

18 So he went to his father and said, “My father.”

And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you told me; please arise, sit and eat of my game, (O)that your soul may bless me.”

20 But Isaac said to 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 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I (P)may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.” 22 So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 And he did not recognize him, because (Q)his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.

24 Then 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 game, so (R)that my soul may bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.” 27 And he came near and (S)kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said:

“Surely, (T)the smell of my son
Is like the smell of a field
Which the Lord has blessed.
28 Therefore may (U)God give you
Of (V)the dew of heaven,
Of (W)the fatness of the earth,
And (X)plenty of grain and wine.
29 (Y)Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And (Z)let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
(AA)Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”

Esau’s Lost Hope(AB)

30 Now it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31 He also had made [d]savory food, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, “Let my father arise and (AC)eat of his son’s game, that your soul may bless me.”

32 And his father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?”

So he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”

33 Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, “Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him—(AD)and indeed he shall be blessed.”

34 When Esau heard the words of his father, (AE)he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my father!”

35 But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”

36 And Esau said, (AF)“Is he not rightly named [e]Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”

37 Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, (AG)“Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with (AH)grain and wine I have [f]sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?”

38 And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice (AI)and wept.

39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:

“Behold, (AJ)your dwelling shall be of the [g]fatness of the earth,
And of the dew of heaven from above.
40 By your sword you shall live,
And (AK)you shall serve your brother;
And (AL)it shall come to pass, when you become restless,
That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

Jacob Escapes from Esau

41 So Esau (AM)hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, (AN)“The days of mourning for my father [h]are at hand; (AO)then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

42 And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, “Surely your brother Esau (AP)comforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice: arise, flee to my brother Laban (AQ)in Haran. 44 And stay with him a (AR)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 bring you from there. Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?”

46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, (AS)“I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; (AT)if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”

27 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see,(A) he called for Esau his older son(B) and said to him, “My son.”

“Here I am,” he answered.

Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death.(C) Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country(D) to hunt some wild game for me. Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like(E) and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing(F) before I die.”(G)

Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country(H) to hunt game and bring it back, Rebekah said to her son Jacob,(I) “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau, ‘Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the Lord before I die.’(J) Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:(K) Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats,(L) so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.(M) 10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing(N) before he dies.”

11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man(O) while I have smooth skin. 12 What if my father touches me?(P) I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse(Q) on myself rather than a blessing.”

13 His mother said to him, “My son, let the curse fall on me.(R) Just do what I say;(S) go and get them for me.”

14 So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.(T) 15 Then Rebekah took the best clothes(U) of Esau her older son,(V) which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. 16 She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.(W) 17 Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.

18 He went to his father and said, “My father.”

“Yes, my son,” he answered. “Who is it?”(X)

19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn.(Y) I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game,(Z) so that you may give me your blessing.”(AA)

20 Isaac asked his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?”

“The Lord your God gave me success,(AB)” he replied.

21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near so I can touch you,(AC) my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not.”

22 Jacob went close to his father Isaac,(AD) who touched(AE) him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau;(AF) so he proceeded to bless him. 24 “Are you really my son Esau?” he asked.

“I am,” he replied.

25 Then he said, “My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.”(AG)

Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come here, my son, and kiss me.”

27 So he went to him and kissed(AH) him(AI). When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes,(AJ) he blessed him and said,

“Ah, the smell of my son
    is like the smell of a field
    that the Lord has blessed.(AK)
28 May God give you heaven’s dew(AL)
    and earth’s richness(AM)
    an abundance of grain(AN) and new wine.(AO)
29 May nations serve you
    and peoples bow down to you.(AP)
Be lord over your brothers,
    and may the sons of your mother bow down to you.(AQ)
May those who curse you be cursed
    and those who bless you be blessed.(AR)

30 After Isaac finished blessing him, and Jacob had scarcely left his father’s presence, his brother Esau came in from hunting. 31 He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then he said to him, “My father, please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing.”(AS)

32 His father Isaac asked him, “Who are you?”(AT)

“I am your son,” he answered, “your firstborn, Esau.(AU)

33 Isaac trembled violently and said, “Who was it, then, that hunted game and brought it to me?(AV) I ate it just before you came and I blessed him—and indeed he will be blessed!(AW)

34 When Esau heard his father’s words, he burst out with a loud and bitter cry(AX) and said to his father, “Bless(AY) me—me too, my father!”

35 But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully(AZ) and took your blessing.”(BA)

36 Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob[a]?(BB) This is the second time he has taken advantage of(BC) me: He took my birthright,(BD) and now he’s taken my blessing!”(BE) Then he asked, “Haven’t you reserved any blessing for me?”

37 Isaac answered Esau, “I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine.(BF) So what can I possibly do for you, my son?”

38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.(BG)

39 His father Isaac answered him,(BH)

“Your dwelling will be
    away from the earth’s richness,
    away from the dew(BI) of heaven above.(BJ)
40 You will live by the sword
    and you will serve(BK) your brother.(BL)
But when you grow restless,
    you will throw his yoke
    from off your neck.(BM)

41 Esau held a grudge(BN) against Jacob(BO) because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, “The days of mourning(BP) for my father are near; then I will kill(BQ) my brother Jacob.”(BR)

42 When Rebekah was told what her older son Esau(BS) had said, she sent for her younger son Jacob and said to him, “Your brother Esau is planning to avenge himself by killing you.(BT) 43 Now then, my son, do what I say:(BU) Flee at once to my brother Laban(BV) in Harran.(BW) 44 Stay with him for a while(BX) until your brother’s fury subsides. 45 When your brother is no longer angry with you and forgets what you did to him,(BY) I’ll send word for you to come back from there.(BZ) Why should I lose both of you in one day?”

46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I’m disgusted with living because of these Hittite(CA) women. If Jacob takes a wife from among the women of this land,(CB) from Hittite women like these, my life will not be worth living.”(CC)
