¹Pada suatu hari, ketika Ishak sudah tua dan buta pula, dipanggilnya Esau, anaknya yang sulung, lalu berkata kepadanya, "Anakku!" "Ya, Ayah," jawab Esau.

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 elder son, and said unto him, My son. And he said unto him, Here am I.

²Ishak berkata, "Engkau tahu bahwa saya sudah tua dan mungkin tidak akan hidup lama lagi.

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

³Jadi ambillah busur dan panah-panahmu, pergilah memburu seekor binatang di padang.

³Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.

⁴Masaklah yang enak seperti yang saya sukai, lalu bawalah kepada saya. Setelah saya memakannya, akan saya berikan berkat saya kepadamu sebelum saya mati."

⁴And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat. That my soul may bless thee before I die.

⁵Percakapan Ishak dengan Esau itu didengar oleh Ribka. Maka setelah Esau berangkat untuk berburu,

⁵And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

⁶berkatalah Ribka kepada Yakub, "Baru saja saya dengar ayahmu mengatakan kepada Esau begini,

⁶And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,

⁷'Burulah seekor binatang dan masaklah yang enak untukku. Setelah aku memakannya, akan kuberikan berkatku kepadamu di hadapan TUHAN, sebelum aku mati.'

⁷Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.

⁸Nah, anakku," kata Ribka lagi, "dengarkanlah dan lakukanlah apa yang saya katakan ini.

⁸Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.

⁹Pergilah ke tempat domba kita, dan pilihlah dua anak kambing yang gemuk-gemuk, supaya saya masak menjadi makanan kesukaan ayahmu.

⁹Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loveth.

¹⁰Kemudian bawalah kepadanya supaya dimakannya, dan setelah itu ia akan memberikan berkatnya kepadamu sebelum ia meninggal."

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

¹¹Tetapi Yakub berkata kepada ibunya, "Ibu, bukankah badan Esau berbulu, sedangkan badan saya tidak?

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

¹²Jangan-jangan ayah meraba badan saya dan mengetahui bahwa saya menipunya; nanti ia bukannya memberikan berkat, malahan mengutuki saya."

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.

¹³Ibunya menjawab, "Jangan khawatir, Nak. Biar saya yang menanggung segala kutuknya. Lakukanlah saja apa yang saya katakan, pergilah mengambil kambing-kambing itu."

¹³And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son. Only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.

¹⁴Maka pergilah Yakub mengambil kambing-kambing itu dan membawanya kepada ibunya, lalu Ribka memasak makanan kesukaan Ishak.

¹⁴And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother. And his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

¹⁵Kemudian Ribka mengambil pakaian Esau yang paling bagus, yang disimpannya di rumah, lalu dikenakannya pada Yakub.

¹⁵And Rebekah took the goodly garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son.

¹⁶Ia membalutkan juga kulit anak kambing pada lengan dan leher Yakub yang tidak berbulu itu.

¹⁶And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck.

¹⁷Lalu diberikannya kepada Yakub masakan yang enak itu dengan roti yang telah dibuatnya.

¹⁷And she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

¹⁸Setelah itu pergilah Yakub kepada ayahnya dan berkata, "Ayah!" "Ya," jawab Ishak, "siapa engkau, Esau atau Yakub?"

¹⁸And he came unto his father, and said, My father. And he said, Here am I. Who art thou, my son?

¹⁹Jawab Yakub, "Esau, anak ayah yang sulung; pesan ayah sudah saya lakukan. Duduklah dan makanlah daging buruan yang saya bawakan ini, supaya ayah dapat memberkati saya."

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.

²⁰Ishak berkata, "Cepat sekali engkau mendapatnya, Nak." Jawab Yakub, "Karena TUHAN Allah yang disembah ayah telah menolong saya."

²⁰And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God sent me good speed.

²¹Lalu kata Ishak kepada Yakub, "Marilah dekat-dekat supaya saya dapat merabamu. Benarkah engkau Esau?"

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.

²²Yakub mendekati ayahnya, dan ayahnya itu merabanya serta berkata, "Suaramu seperti suara Yakub, tetapi lenganmu seperti lengan Esau."

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.

²³Ishak tidak mengenali Yakub karena lengannya berbulu seperti lengan Esau. Tetapi pada saat Yakub hendak diberkatinya,

²³And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him.

²⁴ia masih bertanya sekali lagi, "Benarkah engkau Esau?" "Benar," jawab Yakub.

²⁴And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.

²⁵Lalu berkatalah Ishak, "Berilah saya daging itu. Setelah saya makan akan saya berikan berkat saya kepadamu." Yakub memberikan daging itu kepadanya dan juga sedikit anggur untuk diminum.

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.

²⁶Lalu berkatalah ayahnya kepadanya, "Marilah lebih dekat lagi, Nak, dan ciumlah saya."

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

²⁷Ketika Yakub mendekat untuk mengecupnya, Ishak mencium bau pakaian Esau, lalu diberkatinya dia. Kata Ishak, "Bau sedap anak saya seperti bau padang yang telah diberkati TUHAN.

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 Jehovah hath blessed.

²⁸Semoga Allah memberikan kepadamu embun dari langit, dan membuat ladang-ladangmu subur! Semoga Dia memberikan kepadamu gandum dan anggur berlimpah-limpah!

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

²⁹Semoga bangsa-bangsa menjadi hambamu, dan suku-suku bangsa takluk kepadamu. Semoga engkau menguasai semua sanak saudaramu, dan keturunan ibumu sujud di hadapanmu. Semoga terkutuklah semua orang yang mengutuk engkau dan diberkatilah semua orang yang memberkati engkau."

²⁹Let peoples 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 every one that blesseth thee.

³⁰Segera sesudah Ishak memberikan berkatnya dan Yakub pergi, Esau, abangnya, pulang dari berburu.

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.

³¹Dia juga memasak makanan yang enak lalu membawanya kepada ayahnya, katanya, "Duduklah, Ayah, dan makanlah daging yang saya bawa untuk Ayah, supaya Ayah dapat memberkati saya."

³¹And he also made savory food, and brought it unto his father. And he said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.

³²"Siapa engkau?" tanya Ishak. "Esau anak Ayah yang sulung," jawabnya.

³²And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy first-born, Esau.

³³Ishak mulai gemetar seluruh tubuhnya, dan dia bertanya, "Jika begitu, siapa yang telah memburu binatang dan membawanya kepada saya tadi? Saya telah memakannya sebelum engkau tiba. Lalu saya telah berikan berkat saya yang terakhir kepadanya, dan kini berkat itu menjadi miliknya selama-lamanya."

³³And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who then 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.

³⁴Setelah Esau mendengar itu, dia menangis dengan nyaring dan penuh kepedihan, lalu katanya, "Berkatilah saya juga, Ayah!"

³⁴When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.

³⁵Ishak berkata, "Adikmu telah datang kemari dan menipu saya. Dia telah mengambil berkat yang sebetulnya akan saya berikan kepadamu."

³⁵And he said, Thy brother came with guile, and hath taken away thy blessing.

³⁶Esau berkata, "Inilah kedua kalinya dia menipu saya. Pantas namanya Yakub. Dia telah mengambil hak saya sebagai anak sulung, dan sekarang ia mengambil pula berkat yang untuk saya. Apakah Ayah tidak mempunyai berkat lain bagi saya?"

³⁶And he said, Is not he rightly name Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two time. 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?

³⁷Ishak menjawab, "Saya telah menjadikan dia tuanmu, dan semua sanak saudaranya saya jadikan hambanya. Saya telah memberikan kepadanya gandum dan anggur. Sekarang tidak ada apa-apa lagi yang dapat saya lakukan untukmu, Nak!"

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 grain and new wine have I sustained him. And what then shall I do for thee, my son?

³⁸Esau tidak mau berhenti memohon kepada ayahnya, "Apakah Ayah hanya mempunyai satu berkat saja? Berkatilah saya juga, Ayah!" Lalu mulailah dia menangis lagi.

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.

³⁹Kemudian Ishak berkata kepadanya, "Tidak akan ada embun dari langit bagimu, tidak akan ada ladang yang subur untukmu.

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

⁴⁰Engkau akan hidup dari pedangmu, namun menjadi hamba adikmu, tetapi bila engkau memberontak, engkau akan lepas dari kuasanya."

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

⁴¹Maka Esau membenci Yakub karena ayahnya telah memberikan berkatnya kepada adiknya itu. Pikirnya, "Tidak lama lagi ayah meninggal dan sehabis kita berkabung, Yakub akan saya bunuh!"

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.

⁴²Ketika Ribka mendengar tentang rencana Esau itu, ia menyuruh memanggil Yakub dan berkata, "Dengarkan, abangmu Esau bermaksud membalas dendam dan membunuh engkau.

⁴²And the 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.

⁴³Nah, lakukanlah apa yang saya katakan ini. Pergilah dengan segera kepada abang saya Laban di Haran,

⁴³Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. And arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran.

⁴⁴dan tinggallah bersama dia untuk beberapa waktu lamanya, sampai kemarahan abangmu reda

⁴⁴And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away.

⁴⁵dan ia melupakan apa yang telah engkau lakukan terhadapnya. Kemudian saya akan menyuruh orang membawamu pulang kemari. Tidak mau saya kehilangan kedua anak saya pada hari yang sama."

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 bereaved of you both in one day?

⁴⁶Maka berkatalah Ribka kepada Ishak, "Saya jemu dan bosan melihat istri-istri Esau dari suku bangsa asing itu. Jika Yakub juga kawin dengan gadis Het, lebih baik saya mati saja."

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, of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
