27 ¶ Izarak te fin vye granmoun, je l' pa t' bon, li pa t' kapab wè ladan yo ankò. Li rele premye pitit li a, Ezaou, li di l' konsa: -Pitit mwen, Ezaou reponn li: -Men mwen wi, papa.

Izarak di l': -Ou wè jan m' fin vye. Mwen pa konn ki jou m'ap mouri.

Tanpri, pran zam ou yo, flèch ou yo ak banza ou la. Ale nan bwa a, chase jibye pou mwen.

Lèfini, pare vyann lan jan ou konnen mwen renmen l' lan, pote l' ban mwen. m'a manje. Epi m'a ba ou benediksyon mwen anvan m' mouri.

Rebeka menm t'ap tande sa Izarak t'ap di Ezaou, gason l' lan. Ezaou soti, li pati li al lachas pou papa l'.

¶ Lè sa a, Rebeka di Jakòb, pitit li a: -Men mwen fèk tande papa ou di Ezaou, frè ou la:

Al chase jibye pote pou mwen, kwit li, m'a manje. Apre sa, m'a beni ou devan Seyè a anvan m' mouri.

Koulye a, pitit mwen, koute sa m'ap di ou: Fè sa m'ap mande ou la.

Ale pran de jenn kabrit byen gra nan bann lan, pote yo ban mwen. m'a pare yo pou papa ou jan m' konnen li renmen l' lan.

10 W'a pote l' bay papa ou, la manje, la beni ou anvan l' mouri.

11 Jakòb reponn manman l': -Men manman, Ezaou, frè mwen an, gen pwal sou tout kò li. Mwen menm, po pa m' lis.

12 Si papa m' manyen m', la wè se twonpe m'ap twonpe l'. Lè sa a pase li ban mwen benediksyon, la ban m' madichon pito.

13 Men manman an reponn: -Madichon la ba ou a va tonbe sou mwen, pitit mwen. Ou menm, fè sa mwen di ou fè a, al chache kabrit yo mennen ban mwen.

14 Jakòb ale chache bèt yo, li mennen yo bay manman l'. Manman l' pare yon manje jan li konnen papa a te renmen l' lan.

15 Apre sa, Rebeka pran rad Ezaou, premye pitit li a, pi bèl rad Ezaou te gen lakay la, li mete yo anwo Jakòb, dezyèm pitit li a.

16 Avèk po ti kabrit yo, li kouvri bra ak kou Jakòb.

17 Apre sa, li bay Jakòb manje a avèk pen li te fè.

18 ¶ Jakòb al jwenn papa l', li di: -Papa. Izarak reponn li: -Men mwen, pitit mwen. Kilès nan nou ki la a?

19 Jakòb reponn: -Se mwen menm Ezaou, premye gason ou lan. Mwen fè sa ou te di m' fè a. Leve non, chita. Manje vyann mwen pote pou ou a. Apre sa, wa ban mwen benediksyon.

20 Izarak di Jakòb: -Ki jan ou fè jwenn bèt la vit konsa, pitit mwen? Jakòb reponn li: -Seyè a, Bondye ou la, ede m'. Li fè jibye a vin devan mwen.

21 Izarak di: -Pwoche non. Vini mwen manyen ou, pitit mwen, pou m' wè si wi ou non ou se Ezaou, pitit mwen an.

22 Jakòb pwoche bò kote Izarak, papa l', ki manyen l'. Epi Izarak di: -Vwa a se vwa Jakòb, men bra a se bra Ezaou.

23 Li pa t' rekonèt Jakòb, paske bra li te plen pwal tankou bra Ezaou, frè li a. Izarak beni l'.

24 Li di l': -Se vre, se Ezaou, pitit mwen, ou ye? Jakòb reponn li: -Se mwen wi.

25 Izarak di l': -Sèvi m' non. m'a manje vyann ou pote a. Apre sa, m'a beni ou. Jakòb sèvi l' manje a, li manje. Lèfini, Jakòb ba li diven, li bwè.

26 Izarak, papa l', di l': -Pwoche non, pitit mwen. vin bo m'.

27 Jakòb pwoche, li bo papa l'. Papa a pran sant rad ki te sou li a, epi li ba li benediksyon l'. Li di l': -Sant kò pitit mwen an tankou sant yon jaden Seyè a beni.

28 Se pou Bondye ba ou lawouze ki soti nan syèl la. Se pou l' fè jaden ou donnen anpil. Se pou l' ba ou bèl rekòt ble ak rezen.

29 Se pou kantite pèp soumèt devan ou. Se pou kantite nasyon bese tèt devan ou. Se ou menm ki pou mèt frè ou yo. Se pou pitit pitit manman ou yo bese tèt devan ou. Se pou tout moun ki ba ou madichon jwenn madichon. Se pou tout moun ki beni ou jwenn benediksyon.

30 ¶ Izarak te fin beni Jakòb. Jakòb te fèk kite papa li, Izarak, lè Ezaou, frè li a, antre soti lachas.

31 Li te pare yon bon plat manje, li pote l' bay papa l'. Li di l': -Leve chita non, papa. Manje vyann pitit ou pote pou ou a, pou ou ka beni l'.

32 Izarak, papa l', mande: -Ki moun sa a? Li reponn: -Se mwen menm, Ezaou, premye pitit gason ou lan.

33 Tande Izarak tande sa, li sezi, li pran tranble kou fèy bwa. Li di: -Kilès sa ki te pote ban m' manje jibye li sot chase a? Mwen fèk fin manje anvan ou rive la a. Mwen ba li benediksyon m' lan ki pou li nèt.

34 Lè Ezaou tande sa, yon sèl kòlè moute l', li tonbe rele byen fò: -Beni m' tout non, papa!

35 Izarak reponn li: -Frè ou la vini, li twonpe m'. Li pran benediksyon ki te pou ou a.

36 Ezaou di: -Sa fè dezyèm fwa li pran sak pou mwen. Eske se paske li rele Jakòb la kifè l'ap pase devan m' konsa? Premye fwa a, li te pran dwa m' kòm premye pitit. Men koulye a, li pran benediksyon ki te pou mwen an! Apre sa, li di: -Men papa, èske ou pa gen yon lòt benediksyon pou mwen?

37 Izarak reponn Ezaou: -Mwen mete l' chèf sou ou. Mwen fè tout rès fanmi an tounen moun k'ap sèvi l'. Mwen ba li mezi pwovizyon l'. Kisa m' ka fè pou ou ankò, pitit mwen?

38 Ezaou di papa a: -Se sèl benediksyon sa a ou te genyen, papa? Tanpri, beni m' tout non, papa! Lè sa a, Ezaou pete yon sèl rèl, li kriye byen fò.

39 Se konsa Izarak di l': -Latè p'ap ba ou sa l' te dwe ba ou. p'ap gen lawouze ki soti nan syèl la pou wouze jaden ou.

40 Se zam ou k'ap fè ou viv. W'ap sèvi frè ou la, se vre. Men, se pye poudre ou ye, w'a soti anba men l'.

41 ¶ Ezaou te rayi Jakòb poutèt papa a te ba li benediksyon ki te pou li a. Li di nan kè l': Papa m' pa lwen mouri. Fini yo fini antere l', m'ap touye Jakòb, frè mwen an.

42 Yo vin rapòte bay Rebeka sa ki te soti nan bouch Ezaou, premye pitit gason l' lan. Li fè rele Jakòb, dezyèm pitit li a, li di l': -Koute! Ezaou, frè ou la, vle tire revanj sou ou. Li vle touye ou.

43 Koulye a, pitit mwen, koute sa m'ap di ou la. Leve, pati ale kay Laban, frè mwen an ki rete nan peyi Karan.

44 W'a rete kèk tan la avèk li, jouk tan kòlè frè ou la va bese,

45 jouk tan la sispann move sou ou, jouk li va bliye sa ou te fè l' la. Lè sa a, atò, m'a voye chache ou, m'a fè ou tounen. Poukisa pou m' ta pèdi tou de pitit gason m' yo yon sèl jou a?

46 Rebeka di Izarak konsa: -Mwen degoute, mwen bouke ak bann fi Et sa yo. Pase pou m' ta wè Jakòb pran yonn nan moun sa yo, yonn nan bann fi Et sa yo k'ap viv nan peyi a pou madanm, pito m' mouri!

'Jenèz 27 ' not found for the version: Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil.

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)
