¹And it came to pass when Isaac had become old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, that he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he said to him, Here am I.

¹[Ny fitaka nataon'i Jakoba hahazoany ny tso-dranon'ny rainy] Ary rehefa antitra Isaka, ary pahina ny masony ka tsy nahita, dia niantso an'i Esao lahimatoany izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Anaka; ary hoy izy taminy kosa: Inty aho.

²And he said, Behold now, I am become old; I know not the day of my death.

²Ary hoy izy: Indro fa efa antitra aho, ka tsy fantatro izay andro hahafatesako;

³And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison,

³koa ankehitriny, masìna ianao, alao ny fitifiranao dia ny tranon-jana-tsipìkanao sy ny tsipìkanao, ary mankanesa any an-tsaha, ka ihazao aho;

⁴and prepare me a savoury dish such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, in order that my soul may bless thee before I die.

⁴ary anaovy hanim-py aho araka ilay tiako, ka ento atỳ amiko hohaniko, mba hitsofan'ny fanahiko rano anao, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.

⁵And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.

⁵Ary Rebeka nandre an'Isaka niteny tamin'i Esao zananilahy. Ary dia lasa nankany an-tsaha Esao nitady haza ho entiny.

⁶And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,

⁶Ary Rebeka niteny tamin'i Jakoba zananilahy ka nanao hoe: Indro, efa reko ny rainao niteny tamin'i Esao rahalahinao nanao hoe:

⁷Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, before my death.

⁷Ihazao aho, ka anaovy hanim-py hohaniko; dia hitso-drano anao aho eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.

⁸And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.

⁸Koa ankehitriny, anaka, araho ny teniko amin'izay asaiko ataonao.

⁹Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves.

⁹Mankanesa kely any amin'ny ondry aman'osy, ka analao zanak'osy roa tsara aho; dia hataoko hanim-py ho an'ny rainao araka ilay tiany izany;

¹⁰And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.

¹⁰ary dia ho entinao any amin'ny rainao hohaniny, mba hitsofany rano anao, dieny tsy mbola maty izy.

¹¹And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

¹¹Fa hoy Jakoba tamin-dRebeka reniny: Indro, Esao rahalahiko dia lehilahy voloina, fa izaho lehilahy malambo hoditra kosa;

¹²My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bring a curse on me, and not a blessing.

¹²ary angamba hitsapa ahy ikaky, dia ho toy ny mpanandoka eo imasony aho ka hahatonga ozona amiko, fa tsy tso-drano.

¹³And his mother said to him, On me [be] thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch [them].

¹³Ary hoy ny reniny taminy: Aoka ho ahy ihany anaka, ny ozona ho anao; araho ihany ny teniko, ka mandehana, itondray aho.

¹⁴And he went, and fetched and brought [them] to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as his father loved.

¹⁴Dia nandeha izy ka naka, ary nitondra tao amin'ny reniny; ary ny reniny kosa dia nanao hanim-py araka ilay tian'ny rainy.

¹⁵And Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son;

¹⁵Ary nalain-dRebeka ny fitafian'i Esao lahimatoany, dia ny tsara izay efa notehiriziny tao an-trano, ka nampitafiny an'i Jakoba zanany faralahy.

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

¹⁶Ary ny hoditry ny zanak'osy dia nafonony ny tànany sy ny malambolambo amin'ny vozony;

¹⁷and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.

¹⁷dia natolony teo an-tànan'i Jakoba zanany ny hanim-py sy ny mofo izay efa namboariny.

¹⁸And he came to his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I: who art thou, my son?

¹⁸Ary Jakoba nankany amin'ny rainy ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô! ary hoy kosa izy: Inty aho; iza moa ianao, anaka?

¹⁹And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.

¹⁹Ary hoy Jakoba tamin-drainy: Izaho no Esao zanakao lahimatoa; efa nanao araka izay nasainao nataoko aho; masìna ianao, miarena, dia mipetraha, ka hano ny hazako, mba hitsofan'ny fanahinao rano ahy.

²⁰And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God put [it] in my way.

²⁰Ary hoy Isaka tamin'ny zanany: Nanao ahoana, anaka, no dia nalaky nahazo toy izany ianao? Ary hoy izy: Satria Jehovah Andriamanitrao no nampahazo ahy.

²¹And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be really my son Esau or not.

²¹Ary hoy Isaka tamin'i Jakoba; Mba manatòna kely hoe hitsapako anao, anaka, hahafantarako na Esao zanako tokoa ianao, na tsia.

²²And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

²²Ary Jakoba nanatona an'Isaka rainy, ary izy dia nitsapa azy ka nanao hoe: Ny feo dia feon'i Jakoba, fa ny tanana dia tànan'i Esao.

²³And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; and he blessed him.

²³Ary tsy nahafantatra azy izy, satria voloina tahaka ny tanan'i Esao rahalahiny ny tànany; dia notsofiny rano izy.

²⁴And he said, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I.

²⁴Ary hoy izy: Hianao tokoa moa no Esao zanako? Dia hoy izy: Izaho no izy.

²⁵And he said, Bring [it] near to me, that I may eat of my son's venison, in order that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

²⁵Ary hoy kosa Isaka: Arosoy eto anoloako ary izato hazan'ny zanako hihinanako, mba hitsofan'ny fanahiko rano anao. Ary dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy; ary nitondrany divay izy, dia nisotro.

²⁶And his father Isaac said to him, Come near, now, and kiss me, my son.

²⁶Ary hoy Isaka rainy taminy: Mba manatòna kely ka manoroha ahy, anaka.

²⁷And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed.

²⁷Dia nanatona izy ka nanoroka azy; ary Isaka nandre ny fofon'ny fitafiany, dia nitso-drano azy ka nanao hoe: E! ny fofon'ny zanako. Dia tahaka ny fofon'ny saha izay notahin'i Jehovah.

²⁸And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and new wine.

²⁸Ary hanomezan'Andriamanitra anao anie ny andon'ny lanitra sy ny tsiron'ny tany, ary vary sy ranom-boaloboka betsaka.

²⁹Let peoples serve thee, And races bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be they that curse thee, And blessed be they that bless thee.

²⁹Hanompo anao anie ny firenena maro, Ary hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny firenena samy hafa. Ho tompon'ny rahalahinao anie ianao, ary aoka hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny zanaky ny reninao. Ho voaozona anie izay rehetra manozona anao, ary hohasoavina anie izay manisy soa anao.

³⁰And it came to pass when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.

³⁰Ary rehefa vita ny nitsofan'Isaka rano an'i Jakoba, ary vao nidify Jakoba teo anatrehan'Isaka rainy, dia niditra kosa Esao rahalahiny avy nihaza.

³¹And he also had prepared savoury dishes, and he brought [them] in to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.

³¹Ary izy koa nanao hanim-py ka nitondra azy tao amin'ny rainy; ary hoy izy tamin'ny rainy: Aoka hiarina ny raiko ka hihinana amin'ny hazan'ny zanany, mba hitsofan'ny fanahinao rano ahy.

³²And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.

³²Fa hoy Isaka rainy taminy: Iza indray moa ianao ? Ary hoy izy: Izaho no Esao zanakao lahimatoa.

³³Then Isaac trembled with exceeding great trembling, and said, Who was he, then, that hunted venison and brought [it] to me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him; also blessed he shall be.

³³Ary toran-kovitra indrindra Isaka ka nanao hoe: Iza ary ilay naka haza ka nitondra teto amiko, ary efa nihinanako izany rehetra izany, fony tsy mbola tonga ianao, ka efa notsofiko rano izy; eny, hotahina tokoa izy.

³⁴When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me -- me also, my father!

³⁴Raha vao ren'i Esao ny tenin'ny rainy, dia nitaraina mafy dia mafy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mba tsofy rano re aho, dia izaho koa, ry ikaky ô.

³⁵And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and has taken away thy blessing.

³⁵Ary hoy rainy: Tonga ny rahalahinao nanandoka ka nahalasa ny tso-dranonao.

³⁶And he said, Is it not therefore he was named Jacob, for he has supplanted me now twice? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?

³⁶Dia hoy Esao: Moa tsy mandia va ny anarany hoe Jakoba? fa efa namingana ahy indroa izy izao: ny fizokiako efa nalainy; ary, indro, ankehitriny lasany koa ny tso-dranoko. Ary hoy kosa izy: Tsy mba nitahiry tso-drano ho ahy va ianao?

³⁷And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him lord over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and with corn and new wine have I supplied him -- and what can I do now for thee, my son?

³⁷Dia namaly Isaka ka nanao tamin'i Esao hoe: Indro, efa nataoko ho tomponao izy, ary ny rahalahiny rehetra nomeko ho mpanompony; ary vary sy ranom-boaloboka no namelomako azy; koa inona indray no hataoko aminao, anaka?

³⁸And Esau said to his father, Hast thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me -- me also, my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

³⁸Ary hoy Esao tamin'ny rainy: Tso-drano iray ihany va no anao, ry ikaky? mba tsofy rano re aho, dia izaho koa, ry ikaky ô. Ary Esao dia nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany.

³⁹And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above;

³⁹Dia namaly Isaka rainy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, tsy ho amin'ny tsiron'ny tany ny fonenanao, ary tsy ho amin'ny andon'ny lanitra avy any ambony;

⁴⁰And by thy sword shalt thou live; And thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

⁴⁰Fa ny sabatrao no hivelomanao, ary ny rahalahinao no hotompoinao; kanefa, raha mby amin'izay andro hahafahanao. Dia hotapahinao ny ziogany ho afaka amin'ny vozonao.

⁴¹And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, and I will slay my brother Jacob.

⁴¹[Ny nialan'i Jakoba tao amin'ny rainy handositra an i Esao, ary ny nampakaran'i Esao ny zanakavavin'Isimaela ho vadiny] Ary Esao nanao fo-lentika tamin'i Jakoba noho ny tso-drano izay nataon-drainy taminy; dia hoy Esao anakampo: Efa antomotra ny andro hisaonana an'ikaky, dia hamono an'i Jakoba rahalahiko aho.

⁴²And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.

⁴²Ary nisy namambara tamin-dRebeka izany tenin'i Esao zanany lahimatoa izany; dia naniraka nampaka an'i Jakoba zanany faralahy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, Esao rahalahinao mikasa hamaly ny nataonao ka hamono anao.

⁴³And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran;

⁴³Ary ankehitriny, anaka, araho ny teniko; miainga ka mandosira ho any Harana, dia any amin'i Labana anadahiko.

⁴⁴and abide with him some days, until thy brother's fury turn away --

⁴⁴Ary mitoera any aminy andro vitsivitsy mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeran'ny rahalahinao,

⁴⁵until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; then I will send and fetch thee thence. Why should I be bereaved even of you both in one day?

⁴⁵eny, mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeran'ny rahalahinao aminao, ka ho hadinony izay nataonao taminy; dia haniraka aho ka hampaka anao any; hataoko ahoana no famoy anareo mirahalahy indray andro?Ary hoy Rebeka tamin'Isaka: Tsy te-ho velona aho noho ireny zanakavavin'ny Hetita; raha maka vady amin'ny zanakavavin'ny Hetita Jakoba, tahaka ireto izay avy amin'ny zazavavy tompon-tany koa hataoko inona ny aiko ?

⁴⁶And Rebecca 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, of the daughters of the land, what good should my life do me?

⁴⁶Ary hoy Rebeka tamin'Isaka: Tsy te-ho velona aho noho ireny zanakavavin'ny Hetita; raha maka vady amin'ny zanakavavin'ny Hetita Jakoba, tahaka ireto izay avy amin'ny zazavavy tompon-tany koa hataoko inona ny aiko ?
