Genesis 27

1 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.

1 以撒年老的时候，眼睛昏花，几乎看不见。他把大儿子以扫叫来，说：“我儿啊！”以扫说：“我在这里。”

2 “Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.

2 以撒说：“我年老了，不知道还能活多久。

3 Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.

3 现在，带着你的弓箭去田野为我打些野味来，

4 Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”

4 照我喜欢的口味，做成美食给我吃，以便我在死前给你祝福。”

5 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,

5 利百加听见了以撒跟儿子以扫说的话。以扫出去打猎后，

6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,

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，

7 ‘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.’

7 ‘你去打些野味回来，做成美食给我吃，以便我死之前在耶和华面前给你祝福。’

8 Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.

8 现在，我儿，你要听我的话，照我的吩咐去做。

9 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.

9 你到羊群里牵两只上好的山羊羔给我，我好照你父亲喜爱的口味做成美食，

10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”

10 由你拿去给他吃，让他死前为你祝福。”

11 Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.

11 雅各对母亲利百加说：“哥哥以扫浑身是毛，我的皮肤光滑。

12 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.”

12 如果父亲用手摸我，一定会发觉我骗他，那时候我不但得不到祝福，反会招来咒诅。”

13 His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”

13 他母亲利百加对他说：“我儿啊，有咒诅，我来承担。你只管听我的话，把羊羔牵来。”

14 So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.

14 于是，雅各把羊牵来交给母亲，他母亲就照他父亲喜爱的口味做成美食。

15 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.

15 利百加又拿了大儿子以扫留在家里的最好的衣服，给小儿子雅各穿上，

16 She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

16 再用山羊皮把雅各的手和脖子的光滑处都包起来，

17 Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.

17 然后把做好的美味和饼交给儿子雅各。

18 So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”

18 雅各来到父亲跟前，叫了一声：“父亲。”以撒回答说：“我在这里，儿子，你是哪一个？”

19 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.”

19 雅各对父亲说：“我是你的大儿子以扫，你吩咐我的事，我已经办好了。请你坐起来，吃我打的野味，然后给我祝福。”

20 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.

20 以撒对他说：“我儿，你怎么这么快就打到野味了？”雅各回答说：“因为你的上帝耶和华让我碰见好机会。”

21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”

21 以撒对雅各说：“我儿，过来，让我摸摸看你是不是我儿以扫。”

22 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.”

22 雅各挨到父亲跟前，以撒摸着他说：“声音是雅各的声音，手却是以扫的手。”

23 Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.

23 因为雅各手上有毛，与他哥哥以扫的手一样，以撒分辨不出来，就给他祝福。

24 Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”

24 以撒又问：“你真是我的儿子以扫吗？”雅各回答说：“我是。”

25 “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.

25 以撒便说：“把你打的野味拿给我，我吃了好为你祝福。”雅各递上野味，以撒吃了；雅各又拿酒给他喝，他也喝了。

26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”

26 父亲以撒对他说：“我儿，你过来亲吻我。”

27 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.

27 雅各就挨上前去亲了父亲。以撒闻到他衣服上的香气，就祝福他说： “我儿子的香气就像蒙耶和华赐福之田地的香气。

28 May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth—an abundance of grain and new wine.

28 愿上帝赐你天上的甘露、肥沃的土地并丰富的五谷和新酒。

29 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.”

29 愿万民都侍奉你， 万国都向你下拜。 愿你成为你弟兄的主人， 愿你母亲的儿子向你下拜。 咒诅你的，愿他受咒诅； 祝福你的，愿他蒙祝福。”

30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.

30 雅各接受了以撒的祝福才刚离开，他的哥哥以扫就打猎回来了。

31 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.”

31 以扫也做好美味，拿到父亲跟前，说：“父亲，请起来吃你儿子打的野味，好给我祝福。”

32 But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.

32 他父亲以撒问道：“你是谁？”以扫回答说：“我是你的儿子，你的长子以扫。”

33 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!”

33 以撒惊得剧烈颤抖，说：“在你来之前拿野味给我吃的是谁呢？我已经吃了，也给那人祝福了，他将来必蒙祝福。”

34 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!”

34 以扫听了放声痛哭，说：“父亲啊，求你也为我祝福！”

35 But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”

35 以撒说：“你弟弟已经用诡计把你的福分夺去了。”

36 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?”

36 以扫说：“怪不得他叫雅各，他已经骗了我两次，先前把我长子的名分夺去，现在又夺去我的福分！”接着他对父亲说：“难道你没有留下别的祝福可以给我吗？”

37 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?”

37 以撒对以扫说：“我已经立他做你的主人，使他的众弟兄做他的仆人，并给他五谷和新酒。我儿啊，我还能为你做什么呢？”

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

38 以扫对父亲说：“父亲啊，你只有一个祝福吗？父亲啊，求你也为我祝福！”以扫又放声大哭。

39 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.

39 以撒对他说： “你住的地方必远离肥沃的土地， 也不会有天上的甘霖。

40 You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”

40 你必倚靠刀剑生活， 又必服侍你的弟弟。 到你无法忍受的时候， 必挣脱他放在你颈上的轭。”

41 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.”

41 以扫因为父亲把祝福给了雅各，就对雅各怀恨在心，暗自思量说：“父亲已经不久人世，我服完丧就把我弟弟雅各杀掉！”

42 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.

42 大儿子以扫的计谋传到利百加耳中。她就派人把小儿子雅各叫来，对他说：“你哥哥以扫想要杀你泄愤！

43 So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.

43 我儿，听我的话，现在就逃到哈兰我哥哥拉班那里，

44 Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—

44 与他住些日子，一直住到你哥哥的气消了。

45 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?”

45 等他对你的气消了，忘了你对他所做的事，我会派人接你回来。我何必在一天之内失去你们两个呢？”

46 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?”

46 利百加对以撒说：“我被这些赫人女子烦死了。如果雅各也娶那些赫人女子为妻，我活着还有什么意思呢？”
