Genesis 27
Christian Standard Bible
The Stolen Blessing
27 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could not see,(A) he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.”
And he answered, “Here I am.”
2 He said, “Look, I am old and do not know the day of my death. 3 So now take your hunting gear, your quiver and bow, and go out in the field to hunt some game for me.(B) 4 Then make me a delicious meal that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I can bless you before I die.”(C)
5 Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac said to his son Esau. So while Esau went to the field to hunt some game to bring in, 6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father talking with your brother Esau. He said, 7 ‘Bring me game and make a delicious meal for me to eat so that I can bless you in the Lord’s presence before I die.’ 8 Now, my son, listen to me and do what I tell you. 9 Go to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, and I will make them into a delicious meal for your father—the kind he loves. 10 Then take it to your father to eat so that he may bless you before he dies.”
11 Jacob answered Rebekah his mother, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am a man with smooth skin.(D) 12 Suppose my father touches me. Then I will be revealed to him as a deceiver and bring a curse rather than a blessing on myself.”
13 His mother said to him, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey me and go get them for me.”
14 So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother, and his mother made the delicious food his father loved. 15 Then Rebekah took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were in the house, and had her younger son Jacob wear them. 16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands and the smooth part of his neck. 17 Then she handed the delicious food and the bread she had made to her son Jacob.
18 When he came to his father, he said, “My father.”
And he answered, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
19 Jacob replied to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game so that you may bless me.”
20 But Isaac said to his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?”
He replied, “Because the Lord your God made it happen for me.”
21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau or not?”
22 So Jacob came closer to his father Isaac. When he touched him, he said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him. 24 Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?”
And he replied, “I am.”
25 Then he said, “Bring it closer to me, and let me eat some of my son’s game so that I can bless you.” Jacob brought it closer to him, and he ate; he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come closer and kiss me, my son.” 27 So he came closer and kissed him. When Isaac smelled[a] his clothes, he blessed him and said:
Ah, the smell of my son
is like the smell of a field
that the Lord has blessed.
28 May God give to you—
from the dew of the sky(E)
and from the richness of the land(F)—
an abundance of grain and new wine.(G)
29 May peoples serve you(H)
and nations bow in homage to you.
Be master over your relatives;
may your mother’s sons bow in homage to you.
Those who curse you will be cursed,
and those who bless you will be blessed.(I)
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob and Jacob had left the presence of his father Isaac, his brother Esau arrived from his hunting. 31 He had also made some delicious food and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father get up and eat some of his son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32 But his father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?”
He answered, “I am Esau your firstborn son.”
33 Isaac began to tremble uncontrollably. “Who was it then,” he said, “who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it all before you came in, and I blessed him. Indeed, he will be blessed!”
34 When Esau heard his father’s words, he cried out with a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, my father!” (J)
35 But he replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36 So he said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob?[b](K) For he has cheated me twice now. He took my birthright, and look, now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
37 But Isaac answered Esau, “Look, I have made him a master over you, have given him all of his relatives as his servants, and have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then can I do for you, my son?”
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!” And Esau wept loudly.[c]
39 His father Isaac answered him,
Look, your dwelling place will be
away from the richness of the land,
away from the dew of the sky above.
40 You will live by your sword,
and you will serve your brother.
But when you rebel,[d]
you will break his yoke from your neck.
Esau’s Anger
41 Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau determined in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 When the words of her older son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she summoned her younger son Jacob and said to him, “Listen, your brother Esau is consoling himself by planning to kill you. 43 So now, my son, listen to me. Flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran, 44 and stay with him for a few days until your brother’s anger subsides— 45 until your brother’s rage turns away from you and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose you both in one day?”
46 So Rebekah said to Isaac, “I’m sick of my life because of these Hethite girls.(L) If Jacob marries someone from around here,[e] like these Hethite girls, what good is my life?” (M)
创世记 27
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
雅各谋夺祝福
27 以撒年老，眼睛昏花，看不见东西了；他把他的大儿子以扫叫了来，对他说：“我儿啊！”以扫回答他：“我在这里。” 2 以撒说：“现在我已经老了，不知道甚么时候会死。 3 你现在拿你打猎的用具，就是你的箭囊和弓，出到田野去为我打猎。 4 照我所喜欢的，给我预备美味的食物，拿来给我吃；好让我在未死以前给你祝福。”
5 以撒对他儿子以扫说话的时候，利百加也听见。以扫到田野去打猎，要带些野味回来。 6 利百加就对她儿子雅各说：“我听见你父亲对你的哥哥以扫这样说： 7 ‘你去为我打些猎物回来，给我预备美味的食物，让我吃了，在我未死以前可以在耶和华面前给你祝福。’ 8 我儿啊，现在你要听我的话，照着我吩咐你的去作。 9 你快到羊群那里去，给我牵两只肥嫩的小山羊来，我要照你父亲所喜欢的，给他预备美味的食物。 10 然后你要拿去给你父亲吃，好让他在未死以前给你祝福。” 11 雅各对他的母亲利百加说：“但是哥哥以扫浑身是毛，而我却是个皮肤光滑的人。 12 万一我父亲摸着我，必以为我是骗子，那时我就必自招咒诅，而不是祝福了。” 13 他母亲对他说：“我儿啊，愿你所招的咒诅归到我身上吧，你只管听我的话，去把羊牵来给我。” 14 他就去把羊羔牵来，交给他母亲，他母亲就照他父亲所喜欢的，预备美味的食物。 15 利百加又把大儿子以扫留在家里最好的衣服拿来，给她小儿子雅各穿上。 16 又用小山羊的皮，包在雅各的手上和他颈上光滑的地方。 17 然后，她把自己所预备美味的食物和饼，放在她儿子雅各的手里。
18 雅各来到他父亲那里，说：“我父啊！”以撒说：“我在这里，我儿啊，你是谁？” 19 雅各对他父亲说：“我就是你的长子以扫，你吩咐我作的，我已经照样作了。请坐起来，吃我的猎物，好给我祝福。” 20 以撒问他的儿子：“我儿啊，你怎么这样快就猎到了呢？”雅各回答：“因为耶和华你的 神叫我碰着好机会。” 21 以撒对雅各说：“我儿啊，你上前来，让我摸摸你，看看你是不是我的儿子以扫。” 22 雅各就走近他父亲以撒身边，以撒摸着他，说：“声音是雅各的声音，手却是以扫的手。” 23 以撒认不出他来，因为他的手上有毛，好象他哥哥以扫的手一样，于是给他祝福。 24 以撒问：“你真是我的儿子以扫吗？”他回答：“我是。” 25 以撒说：“把食物递给我，好让我吃我儿子的猎物，我就给你祝福。”雅各把食物递给他，他就吃了；又拿酒给他，他也喝了。 26 他父亲以撒对他说：“我儿啊，你上前来，和我亲吻。” 27 他就上前和父亲亲吻；他父亲一闻到他衣服的香气，就给他祝福，说：
“看哪，我儿子的香气，
好象蒙耶和华赐福的田地所发出的香气一样。
28 愿 神赐给你
天上的甘露，
地上的沃土，
以及大量五谷和美酒。
29 愿万民服事你，
愿万族向你下拜，
愿你作你兄弟的主人，
愿你母亲的子孙向你下拜。
咒诅你的，愿他受咒诅；
给你祝福的，愿他蒙福。”
以扫求父祝福
30 以撒给雅各祝福完了，雅各刚刚从他父亲以撒那里出来的时候，他哥哥以扫就打猎回来了。 31 他也预备了美味的食物，拿来给他父亲，对他说：“请我父起来，吃你儿子的猎物，好给我祝福。” 32 他父亲以撒问他：“你是谁？”他回答：“我就是你的长子以扫。” 33 以撒就大大地战兢起来，说：“那么，刚才去打猎又拿猎物给我的是谁呢？在你未来以先，我已经吃了，又给他祝福了；他将来必定蒙福。” 34 以扫听了他父亲的话，就非常痛心，放声大哭，对他父亲说：“我父啊，求你也给我祝福。” 35 以撒说：“你弟弟已经前来，用诡计把你的祝福夺去了。” 36 以扫说：“他名叫雅各不是很对吗？因为他欺骗了我两次。从前他夺去我的长子名分，现在他又夺去我的祝福。”以扫又说：“你再没有祝福留给我吗？” 37 以撒回答以扫，说：“我已经立他作你的主人，又把他所有的兄弟给了他作仆人，并且把五谷和美酒供给他了。我儿啊，我还可以为你作甚么呢？” 38 以扫问他的父亲：“我父啊，你只有一个祝福吗？我父啊，求你也给我祝福。”以扫就放声大哭。 39 他父亲以撒回答他，说：
“你住的地方必远离地上的沃土，
远离天上的甘露。
40 你必依靠刀剑生活，
你必服事你的弟弟；
到你自由的时候，
你必从你的颈项上挣脱他的轭。”
以扫恨雅各
41 以扫因为他父亲给雅各所祝的福，就怀恨雅各；以扫心里想：“为我父亲守丧的时候近了，到时我必杀我的弟弟雅各。” 42 有人把利百加大儿子以扫所说的话告诉了利百加，她就派人把她小儿子雅各叫了来，对他说：“你哥哥以扫想要杀你，报仇雪恨。 43 我儿啊，现在你要听我的话；起来，逃到哈兰我哥哥拉班那里去吧。 44 与他住些时日，等到你哥哥的怒气消了。 45 你哥哥对你消了怒气，忘记了你对他所作的事，我就派人去把你从那里接回来。我何必在一日之内丧失你们两个呢？”
46 利百加对以撒说：“我因为这些赫人女子，连性命都厌恶了。如果雅各也从这地的女子中，娶了像这样的赫人女子为妻，那我活着还有甚么意思呢？”
