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.

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.`

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

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

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

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,

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

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.`

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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;

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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;`

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

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

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

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

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

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.`

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.

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.`

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

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.`

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.

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.`

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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.

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.`

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.

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;

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.

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.`

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

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

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.

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.`

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.

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;`

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

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

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?

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?`

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?

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?`

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.

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.

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;

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;

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.

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.`

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.

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.`

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.

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;

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

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

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

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

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 ?

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?`

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 ?

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?`
