1以撒年老,眼睛昏花,不能看见,就叫了他大儿子以扫来,说:“我儿。”以扫说:“我在这里。”When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” Esau replied.

2他说:“我如今老了,不知道那一天死。“Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.

3现在拿你的器械,就是和弓,往田野去为我打猎,Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.

4照我所爱的做成美味,拿来给我吃,使我在未死之先给你。”Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”

5以撒对他儿子以扫说话,利百加也听见了。以扫往田野去打猎,要得野味带来。Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,

6利百加就对她儿子雅各说:“我听见你父亲对你哥哥以扫说:Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,

7‘你去把野兽带来,做成美味给我吃,我好在未死之先,在耶和华面前给你祝福。’‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’

8现在,我儿,你要照着我所吩咐你的,听从我的话。Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.

9你到羊群里去,给我拿两只肥山羊羔来,我便照你父亲所爱的给他做成美味。Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.

10你拿到你父亲那里给他吃,使他在未死之先给你祝福。”Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”

11雅各对他母亲利百加说:“我哥哥以扫浑身是有毛的,我身上是光滑的;Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.

12倘若我父亲摸着我,必以我为欺哄人的,我就招咒诅,不得祝福。”What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”

13他母亲对他说:“我儿,你招的咒诅归到我身上;你只管听我的话,去把羊羔给我拿来。”His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”

14他便去拿来,交给他母亲;他母亲就照他父亲所爱的做成美味。So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.

15利百加又把家里所存大儿子以扫上好的衣服给她小儿子雅各穿上,And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.

16又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和颈项的光滑处,She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

17就把所做的美味和饼交在她儿子雅各的手里。Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.

18雅各到他父亲那里说:“我父亲!”他说:“我在这里。我儿,你是谁?”So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”

19雅各对他父亲说:“我是你的长子以扫;我已照你所吩咐我的行了。请起来坐着,吃我的野味,好给我祝福。”Jacob said 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以撒对他儿子说:“我儿,你如何找得这么快呢?”他说:“因为耶和华—你的 神使我遇见好机会得着的。”But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.

21以撒对雅各说:“我儿,你近前来,我摸摸你,知道你真是我的儿子以扫不是。”Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”

22雅各就挨近他父亲以撒。以撒摸着他,说:“声音是雅各的声音,手却是以扫的手。”So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”

23以撒就辨不出他来;因为他手上有毛,像他哥哥以扫的手一样,就给他祝福;Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.

24又说:“你真是我儿子以扫吗?”他说:“我是。”Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”

25以撒说:“你递给我,我好吃我儿子的野味,给你祝福。”雅各就递给他,他便吃了,又拿酒给他,他也喝了。“Serve me,” said Isaac, “and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.

26他父亲以撒对他说:“我儿,你上前来与我亲嘴。”Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”

27他就上前与父亲亲嘴。他父亲一闻他衣服上的香气,就给他祝福,说:我儿的香气如同耶和华赐福之田地的香气一样。So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.

28愿 神赐你天上的,地上的肥土,并许多五谷新酒。May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth—an abundance of grain and new wine.

29愿多民事奉你,多国跪拜你。愿你作你弟兄的主;你母亲的儿子向你跪拜。凡咒诅你的,愿他受咒诅;为你祝福的,愿他蒙福。May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”

30以撒为雅各祝福已毕,雅各从他父亲那里才出来,他哥哥以扫正打猎回来,As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.

31也做了美味,拿来给他父亲,说:“请父亲起来,吃你儿子的野味,好给我祝福。”He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”

32他父亲以撒对他说:“你是谁?”他说:“我是你的长子以扫。”But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.

33以撒就大大地,说:“你未来之先,是谁得了野味拿来给我呢?我已经吃了,为他祝福;他将来也必蒙福。”Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”

34以扫听了他父亲的话,就放声痛哭,说:“我父啊,求你也为我祝福!”When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”

35以撒说:“你兄弟已经用诡计来将你的福分夺去了。”But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”

36以扫说:“他名雅各,岂不是正对吗?因为他了我两次:他从前夺了我长子的名分,你看,他现在又夺了我的福分。”以扫又说:“你没有留下为我可祝的福吗?”So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”

37以撒回答以扫说:“我已立他为你的主,使他的弟兄都给他作仆人,并赐他五谷新酒可以养生。我儿,现在我还能为你做什么呢?”But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”

38以扫对他父亲说:“父啊,你只有一样可祝的福吗?我父啊,求你也为我祝福!”以扫就放声而哭。Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.

39他父亲以撒说:地上的肥土必为你所住;天上的甘露必为你所得。His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.

40你必倚靠刀剑度日,又必事奉你的兄弟;到你强盛的时候,必从你颈项上挣开他的。You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”

41以扫因他父亲给雅各祝的福,就怨恨雅各,心里说:“为我父亲的日子近了,到那时候,我要杀我的兄弟雅各。”Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

42有人把利百加大儿子以扫的话告诉利百加,她就打发人去,叫了她小儿子雅各来,对他说:“你哥哥以扫想要杀你,。When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.

43现在,我儿,你要听我的话:起来,逃往哈兰、我哥哥拉班那里去,So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.

44同他住些日子,直等你哥哥的怒气消了。Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—

45你哥哥向你消了怒气,忘了你向他所做的事,我便打发人去把你从那里带回来。为什么一日丧你们二人呢?”until your brother’s rage against you wanes 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 both of you in one day?”

46利百加对以撒说:“我因这赫人的女子连性命都厌烦了;倘若雅各也娶赫人的女子为妻,像这些一样,我活着还有什么益处呢?”Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
