¹وحدث لما شاخ اسحق وكلّت عيناه عن النظر انه دعا عيسو ابنه الاكبر وقال له يا ابني. فقال له هانذا.

¹And it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and saith unto him, `My son;` and he saith unto him, `Here [am] I.`

²فقال انني قد شخت ولست اعرف يوم وفاتي.

²And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;

³فالآن خذ عدتك جعبتك وقوسك واخرج الى البرية وتصيّد لي صيدا.

³and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me provision,

⁴واصنع لي اطعمة كما احب وأتني بها لآكل حتى تباركك نفسي قبل ان اموت

⁴and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved, and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless thee before I die.`

⁵وكانت رفقة سامعة اذ تكلم اسحق مع عيسو ابنه. فذهب عيسو الى البرية كي يصطاد صيدا ليأتي به.

⁵And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision — to bring in;

⁶وأما رفقة فكلمت يعقوب ابنها قائلة اني قد سمعت اباك يكلم عيسو اخاك قائلا.

⁶and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, `Lo, I have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,

⁷ائتني بصيد واصنع لي اطعمة لآكل واباركك امام الرب قبل وفاتي.

⁷Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things, and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.

⁸فالآن يا ابني اسمع لقولي في ما انا آمرك به.

⁸`And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am commanding thee:

⁹اذهب الى الغنم وخذ لي من هناك جديين جيّدين من المعزى. فأصنعهما اطعمة لابيك كما يحب.

⁹Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved;

¹⁰فتحضرها الى ابيك لياكل حتى يباركك قبل وفاته.

¹⁰and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten, so that his soul doth bless thee before his death.

¹¹فقال يعقوب لرفقة امه هوذا عيسو اخي رجل اشعر وانا رجل املس.

¹¹And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, `Lo, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I a smooth man,

¹²ربما يجسّني ابي فاكون في عينيه كمتهاون واجلب على نفسي لعنة لا بركة.

¹²it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, and not a blessing;`

¹³فقالت له امه لعنتك عليّ يا ابني. اسمع لقولي فقط واذهب خذ لي.

¹³and his mother saith to him, `On me thy disesteem, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.`

¹⁴فذهب واخذ واحضر لامه. فصنعت امه اطعمة كما كان ابوه يحب.

¹⁴And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath loved;

¹⁵واخذت رفقة ثياب عيسو ابنها الاكبر الفاخرة التي كانت عندها في البيت والبست يعقوب ابنها الاصغر.

¹⁵and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on Jacob her younger son;

¹⁶والبست يديه وملاسة عنقه جلود جديي المعزى.

¹⁶and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,

¹⁷واعطت الاطعمة والخبز التي صنعت في يد يعقوب ابنها

¹⁷and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son.

¹⁸فدخل الى ابيه وقال يا ابي. فقال هانذا. من انت يا ابني.

¹⁸And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, `My father;` and he saith, `Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?`

¹⁹فقال يعقوب لابيه انا عيسو بكرك. قد فعلت كما كلمتني. قم اجلس وكل من صيدي لكي تباركني نفسك.

¹⁹And Jacob saith unto his father, `I [am] Esau thy first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.`

²⁰فقال اسحق لابنه ما هذا الذي اسرعت لتجد يا ابني. فقال ان الرب الهك قد يسّر لي.

²⁰And Isaac saith unto his son, `What [is] this thou hast hasted to find, my son?` and he saith, `That which Jehovah thy God hath caused to come before me.`

²¹فقال اسحق ليعقوب تقدم لاجسّك يا ابني. أأنت هو ابني عيسو ام لا.

²¹And Isaac saith unto Jacob, `Come nigh, I pray thee, and I feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, my son Esau, or not.`

²²فتقدم يعقوب الى اسحق ابيه. فجسّه وقال الصوت صوت يعقوب ولكن اليدين يدا عيسو.

²²And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he feeleth him, and saith, `The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.`

²³ولم يعرفه لان يديه كانتا مشعرتين كيدي عيسو اخيه. فباركه . ‎

²³And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him,

²⁴وقال هل انت هو ابني عيسو. فقال انا هو.

²⁴and saith, `Thou art he — my son Esau?` and he saith, `I [am].`

²⁵فقال قدم لي لآكل من صيد ابني حتى تباركك نفسي. فقدّم له فاكل. واحضر له خمرا فشرب.

²⁵And he saith, `Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son`s provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;` and he bringeth nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he drinketh.

²⁶فقال له اسحق ابوه تقدم وقبّلني يا ابني.

²⁶And Isaac his father saith to him, `Come nigh, I pray thee, and kiss me, my son;`

²⁷فتقدم وقبّله. فشم رائحة ثيابه وباركه. وقال انظر. رائحة ابني كرائحة حقل قد باركه الرب.

²⁷and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, `See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which Jehovah hath blessed;

²⁸فليعطك الله من ندى السماء. ومن دسم الارض. وكثرة حنطة وخمر.

²⁸and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine;

²⁹ليستعبد لك شعوب. وتسجد لك قبائل. كن سيدا لاخوتك. وليسجد لك بنو امك. ليكن لاعنوك ملعونين. ومباركوك مباركين

²⁹peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and those who bless thee [are] blessed.`

³⁰وحدث عندما فرغ اسحق من بركة يعقوب ويعقوب قد خرج من لدن اسحق ابيه ان عيسو اخاه أتى من صيده.

³⁰And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come in from his hunting;

³¹فصنع هو ايضا اطعمة ودخل بها الى ابيه وقال لابيه ليقم ابي وياكل من صيد ابنه حتى تباركني نفسك.

³¹and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his father, and saith to his father, `Let my father arise, and eat of his son`s provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.`

³²فقال له اسحق ابوه من انت. فقال انا ابنك بكرك عيسو.

³²And Isaac his father saith to him, `Who [art] thou?` and he saith, `I [am] thy son, thy first-born, Esau;`

³³فارتعد اسحق ارتعادا عظيما جدا. وقال فمن هو الذي اصطاد صيدا وأتى به اليّ فاكلت من الكل قبل ان تجيء وباركته. نعم ويكون مباركا.

³³and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith, `Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him? — yea, blessed is he.`

³⁴فعندما سمع عيسو كلام ابيه صرخ صرخة عظيمة ومرة جدا. وقال لابيه باركني انا ايضا يا ابي.

³⁴When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, `Bless me, me also, O my father;`

³⁵فقال قد جاء اخوك بمكر واخذ بركتك.

³⁵and he saith, `Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy blessing.`

³⁶فقال الا ان اسمه دعي يعقوب. فقد تعقبني الآن مرتين. اخذ بكوريتي وهوذا الآن قد اخذ بركتي. ثم قال أما ابقيت لي بركة.

³⁶And he saith, `Is it because [one] called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;` he saith also, `Hast thou not kept back a blessing for me?`

³⁷فاجاب اسحق وقال لعيسو اني قد جعلته سيدا لك ودفعت اليه جميع اخوته عبيدا وعضدته بحنطة وخمر. فماذا اصنع اليك يا ابني.

³⁷And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, `Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, my son?`

³⁸فقال عيسو لابيه ألك بركة واحدة فقط يا ابي. باركني انا ايضا يا ابي. ورفع عيسو صوته وبكى.

³⁸And Esau saith unto his father, `One blessing hast thou my father? bless me, me also, O my father;` and Esau lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.

³⁹فاجاب اسحق ابوه وقال له هوذا بلا دسم الارض يكون مسكنك. وبلا ندى السماء من فوق.

³⁹And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, `Lo, of the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above;

⁴⁰وبسيفك تعيش. ولاخيك تستعبد. ولكن يكون حينما تجمح انك تكسر نيره عن عنقك

⁴⁰and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy neck.`

⁴¹فحقد عيسو على يعقوب من اجل البركة التي باركه بها ابوه. وقال عيسو في قلبه قربت ايام مناحة ابي. فاقتل يعقوب اخي.

⁴¹And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, `The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my brother.`

⁴²فأخبرت رفقة بكلام عيسو ابنها الاكبر. فارسلت ودعت يعقوب ابنها الاصغر وقالت له هوذا عيسو اخوك متسلّ من جهتك بانه يقتلك.

⁴²And the words of Esau her elder son are declared to Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son, and saith unto him, `Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself in regard to thee — to slay thee;

⁴³فالآن يا ابني اسمع لقولي وقم اهرب الى اخي لابان الى حاران.

⁴³and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran,

⁴⁴وأقم عنده اياما قليلة حتى يرتد سخط اخيك.

⁴⁴and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother`s fury turn back,

⁴⁵حتى يرتد غضب اخيك عنك وينسى ما صنعت به. ثم ارسل فآخذك من هناك. لماذا اعدم اثنيكما في يوم واحد

⁴⁵till thy brother`s anger turn back from thee, and he hath forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the same day?`

⁴⁶وقالت رفقة لاسحق مللت حياتي من اجل بنات حثّ. ان كان يعقوب يأخذ زوجة من بنات حثّ مثل هؤلاء من بنات الارض فلماذا لي حياة

⁴⁶And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, `I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these — from the daughters of the land — why do I live?`
