1And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
1 I go no mo, waato kaŋ Isaka zeen, a moy te kubay kal a si di, kal a na nga ize hay-jina Isuwa ce ka ne a se: «Ay izo.» Izo mo tu a se ka ne: «Ay neeya.»
2And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
2 Baabo ne: «Guna, sohõ ay zeen. Ay buuyaŋ zaaro mo, ay s'a bay.
3Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
3 Day sohõ, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma ni tonga da ni birawo sambu. Ma koy saajo ra ka ganji ham ceeci.
4And make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
4 Ni ma maafe kaano te kaŋ ay ga ba, ka kande ay se. Ay ma ŋwa, ay bina ma albarka gaara ni se za ay mana bu.»
5And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
5 Rabeka mo go ga hangan ka maa haŋ kaŋ Isaka goono ga ci nga izo Isuwa se. Isuwa koy gaway saajo ra ka ganji ham ceeci ka kande.
6And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
6 Kala Rabeka ci nga izo Yakuba se ka ne: «Guna, ay maa haŋ kaŋ ni baaba ci ni beere Isuwa se
7Bring me venison, and make me savory meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
7 ka ne: ‹Ma kand'ay se ganji ham, ka maafe kaano te ay se ay ma ŋwa, ay ma albarka gaara ni se Rabbi jine za ay mana bu.›
8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
8 Sohõ, ay izo, ma hangan ay se. Ma laakal daŋ ka te haŋ kaŋ ay ci ni se:
9Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
9 Ma koy hinciney kuro ra ka hincin ize hanno hinka di. Ay mo ga maafe te mate kaŋ cine ga kaan ni baaba se.
10And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
10 Ni ga kond'a ni baaba se a ma ŋwa ka albarka gaara ni se, za a mana bu.»
11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
11 Yakuba ne nga nyaŋo se: «Guna, ay beere Isuwa, a gaahamo kulu gonda hamniyaŋ, ay mo ga yuttu.
12My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
12 Hambara ay baaba g'ay ham, a g'ay ciya tangarikom. Yaadin gaa ay ga kande laaliyaŋ ay boŋ gaa nooya, manti albarka.»
13And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
13 Nyaŋo ne a se: «Ay izo, laaliyaŋo din ma kaa ay gaa. Ni ya, ma hangan day ka te haŋ kaŋ ay ci ni se. Ma koy kand'ey ay se.»
14And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory meat, such as his father loved.
14 Yakuba koy k'i di ka kande nga nyaŋo se. Nga mo na maafe te mate kaŋ cine ga kaan baabo se.
15And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
15 Rabeka na nga hay-jina Isuwa bankaarayey kaŋ yaŋ go no fuwo ra sambu, wo kaŋ yaŋ ga boori ka bisa i kulu. A n'i daŋ nga ize koda Yakuba gaa.
16And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
16 A na hincin izey kuurey mo daŋ a kambey gaa, d'a jinda gaa mo, naŋ kaŋ sinda hamni.
17And she gave the savory meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
17 Maafe kaana da buuro kaŋ a soola mo, a n'i daŋ nga izo Yakuba kambe ra.
18And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
18 Nga mo kaa nga baabo do ka ne: «Ay baaba.» Nga mo ne: «Ay neeya. Nin no may, ay izo?»
19And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
19 Yakuba mo ne nga baabo se: «Ay no, ni hay-jina Isuwa. Ay te mate kaŋ cine ni ci ay se din. Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma tun ka goro ka ŋwa ay ŋwaaro gaa, hala ni bina ma albarka gaara ay se.»
20And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
20 Isaka mo ne nga izo se: «Mate no ni te ka du a da waasi ya-cine, ay izo?» Nga mo ne: «Rabbi ni Irikoyo no k'ay no saaya.»
21And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
21 Isaka binde ne Yakuba se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ay izo, ni ma kaa ka maan zama ay ma ni ham, hala nda cimi ni ya ay izo Isuwa no, wala manti nga no.»
22And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
22 Kala Yakuba koy ka maan nga baaba Isaka do, nga mo n'a ham. A ne: «Jinda ya Yakuba jinde no, amma kambey Isuwa kambey no.»
23And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
23 A mana fayanka ka bay, zama a kambey gonda hamni, mate kaŋ Isuwa kambey go d'a. Yaadin cine no a na albarka gaara nd'a a se.
24And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
24 A ne: «Hala cimi mo no, ni ya ay izo Isuwa no?» Yakuba ne: «Ay day no.»
25And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
25 Kala Isaka ne: «M'a maanandi ay do, ay mo g'ay izo ŋwaari kaana ŋwa, hal ay bina ma ni albarkandi.» A n'a maanandi a do, nga mo ŋwa. Yakuba kand'a se duvan*, a haŋ mo.
26And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
26 Waato din gaa baabo Isaka ne a se: «Ni ma kaa ka maan sohõ, k'ay garbey sunsum, ay izo.»
27And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
27 Kala Yakuba kaa ka maan k'a garbey sunsum. Baabo mo n'a bankaarayey mani ka maa hawo. A na albarka gaara a se ka ne: «Guna, ay izo hawo ga hima fari fo haw, wo kaŋ Rabbi na albarka daŋ a gaa.
28Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
28 Naŋ Irikoy ma ni no beene harandaŋ da ndunnya maafe, masangu nda reyzin* hari mo da yulwa.
29Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
29 Dumi-dumey ma may ni se, yawey mo ma sumbal ni jine. Ni ma ciya bonkooni ni dumey boŋ, ni nya izey mo ma sumbal hala ganda ni jine. Laalante no boro kulu kaŋ ga ni laali, albarkante no boro kaŋ ga ni albarkandi.»
30And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
30 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ Isaka na albarka gaara Yakuba se ka ban, a mana gay kaŋ Yakuba fatta ka fun nga baabo Isaka jine, kal a beero Isuwa kaa ka fun nga fooyaŋo do.
31And he also had made savory meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
31 A na maafe kaana te mo ka kand'a nga baabo do ka ne nga baabo se: «Ay baaba, ma tun ka ŋwa ni izo fooyaŋ hamo gaa, zama ni bina ma albarka gaara ay se.»
32And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
32 Baabo Isaka binde ne a se: «Ifo? Nin no may?» Nga mo ne: «Ay no ni izo, ni hay-jina Isuwa.»
33And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
33 Kala Isaka jijiri gumo-gumo ka ne: «May? May no bora kaŋ na fooyaŋ hamo sambu ka kand'ay se, hal ay n'a kulu ŋwa za ni mana kaa. Ay na albarka gaara a se, a ga ciya albarkante mo.»
34And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
34 Waato kaŋ Isuwa maa nga baabo sanney, a soobay ka kaati nda hẽeni fotto, ka ne nga baabo se: «Ya nin ay baaba, m'ay no albarka, ay mo!»
35And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
35 Amma Isaka ne: «Ni kayne kaa da hiila ka ni albarka sambu.»
36And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
36 Isuwa ne: «Manti i n'a maa daŋ Yakuba? Guna ce hinka neeya kaŋ a n'ay tuti k'ay kayyaŋ nango ta. A n'ay hay-jinetara ta, sohõ mo a n'ay albarka ta. Ni mana baa albarka kayna jisi ay se no?»
37And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
37 Isaka tu a se ka ne: «Guna, ay n'a daŋ a ma ciya ni koy. Ay n'a nya izey kulu no a se a m'i may. Ay na masangu nda reyzin hari no a se. Sohõ, ifo n'ay ga hin ka te ni se, ay izo?»
38And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
38 Isuwa ne nga baabo se: «Ya ay baaba, albarka folloŋ hinne no ni se? Ay baaba, ay no albarka, ay mo.» Kala Isaka na jinde sambu ka hẽ.
39And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
39 Kala baabo Isaka na sanney wo ci ka ne: «Ni nangoray si du ndunnya maafe, a si du beene harandaŋ.
40And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
40 Kala ni ma funa nda ni takuba, kala ni ma ye ni kayne se ganda. A ga ciya mo, waati kaŋ ni ga koma a se, ni ga du k'a calo* foobu ka kaa ni jinda gaa.»
41And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
41 Isuwa na konnari jisi nga bina ra Yakuba se, zama baabo na Yakuba no albarka. A go ga ne nga bina ra: «Ay baaba buuyaŋ zaaro go ga maan. Waato din gaa no ay g'ay kayno Yakuba wi.»
42And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
42 I koy ka sanney din kaŋ a hay-jina Isuwa ci dede Rabeka se, nga mo donton ka nga koda Yakuba ce. A ne a se: «Guna, ni beere Isuwa go ga miila nga ma bana ni gaa ka ni wi.
43Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
43 Sohõ ay izo, ma hangan ay sanney se: Tun ka koy ay arme Laban do ka tugu; Haran kwaara no a go.
44And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
44 Ma goro noodin alwaatiyaŋ hala ni beero bina ma zumbu,
45Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
45 hala ni beero futa ma ban a gaa, hal a ma dinya haŋ kaŋ ni te nga se. Waato din gaa ay ga ye ka kande nin fu. Ifo se no ay ga di araŋ boro hinka kulu mursay zaari folloŋ?»
46And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
46 Rabeka ci Isaka se ka ne: «Ay farga nd'ay fundo Hetance wayborey sabbay se. Da Yakuba mo na wande sambu Hetu ize wayey ra, sanda laabo wandiyey dumi nooya, ifo no fundi ga hanse ay se koyne?»
