¹A stalo sa, keď sa zostarel Izák, a jeho oči zoslably tak, že nevidel, zavolal Ezava, svojho staršieho syna, a riekol mu. Môj synu. A on mu odpovedal: Tu som, otče.

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.

²A riekol: Nože hľa, som už starý; neviem dňa svojej smrti.

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

³Tak teraz vezmi, prosím, svoju zbraň, svoj túl a svoje lučište, a vyjdi na pole a ulov mi zverinu.

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

⁴A priprav mi chutný pokrm, aký mám rád; dones mi ho, a budem jesť, aby ťa požehnala moja duša, prv ako zomriem.

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.

⁵Ale Rebeka počúvala, keď to hovoril Izák Ezavovi, svojmu synovi. A Ezav odišiel na pole uloviť zverinu, aby ju doniesol.

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

⁶A Rebeka povedala Jakobovi, svojmu synovi, a riekla: Hľa, počula som tvojho otca hovoriť Ezavovi, tvojmu bratovi, ktorému povedal:

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

⁷Dones mi zverinu a priprav mi chutný pokrm, a budem jesť a potom ťa požehnám pred Hospodinom, prv ako zomriem.

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

⁸A tak teraz, môj synu, poslúchni na môj hlas a urob to, čo ti rozkazujem.

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

⁹Nože idi ku stádu a vezmi a dones mi odtiaľ dvoje pekných kozliat, a pripravím z nich chutný pokrm pre tvojho otca, jaký má rád.

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.

¹⁰Potom zanesieš svojmu otcovi, a zjie, aby ťa požehnal, prv ako zomrie.

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

¹¹A Jakob povedal Rebeke, svojej matke: Hľa, Ezav, môj brat, je chlpatý človek, a ja som hladký.

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

¹²Môj otec ma môže ohmatať a potom budem v jeho očiach ako podvodník a uvediem na seba zlorečenstvo a nie požehnanie.

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.

¹³Na to mu povedala jeho matka: Nech prijde na mňa tvoje zlorečenstvo, môj synu, len poslúchni, čo hovorím, a idi, vezmi a dones mi.

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

¹⁴A tak išiel a vzal a doniesol svojej matke, a jeho matka pripravila chutný pokrm, aký mal rád jeho otec.

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

¹⁵A Rebeka vzala šaty Ezavove, šaty svojho staršieho syna, tie najlepšie, ktoré mala u seba v dome, a obliekla do nich Jakoba svojho mladšieho syna.

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;

¹⁶A kožky z kozleniec obvliekla na jeho ruky a na hladké miesto jeho hrdla.

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

¹⁷A dala chutný pokrm a chlieb, to, čo bola pripravila, do ruky Jakoba, svojho syna.

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

¹⁸A prišiel k svojmu otcovi a povedal: Môj otče! A on odpovedal: Tu som. Kto si ty, môj synu?

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

¹⁹A Jakob povedal svojmu otcovi: Ja som Ezav, tvoj prvorodený. Urobil som tak, ako si mi hovoril. Vstaň, prosím, sadni si a jedz z toho, čo som ulovil, aby ma požehnala tvoja duša.

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.

²⁰A Izák povedal svojmu synovi: Čo to, že si tak rýchle našiel, môj synu? A on odpovedal: Lebo Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, to spôsobil, aby mi nadišlo.

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.

²¹A Izák povedal Jakobovi: Nože poď bližšie, aby som ťa ohmatal, môj synu, či si ty môj syn Ezav či nie.

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.

²²A Jakob pristúpil k Izákovi, svojmu otcovi, ktorý ho ohmatal a povedal: Hlas je Jakobov, a ruky sú ruky Ezavove.

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.

²³A nepoznal ho, lebo jeho ruky boly jako ruky Ezavove, jeho bratove, chlpaté, a požehnal ho.

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

²⁴A povedal: Či si to ty, môj synu, Ezave? A odpovedal: Som.

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

²⁵Vtedy povedal: Podaj mi, aby som jedol z lovu svojho syna, aby ťa potom požehnala moja duša. A podal mu, a jedol. A doniesol mu aj vína, a pil.

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.

²⁶A Izák, jeho otec, mu povedal: Nože pristúp sem a bozkaj ma, môj synu!

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

²⁷A pristúpil a bozkal ho. Tu zavoňal vôňu jeho šiat a požehnal ho a riekol: Pozri, vôňa môjho syna je ako vôňa poľa, ktoré požehnal Hospodin.

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.

²⁸Nechže ti dá Bôh z rosy neba a zo všelijakého tuku zeme, hojnosť obilia a hroznovej šťavy.

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

²⁹Nech ti slúžia národy a klaňajú sa ti ľudia! Buď pánom svojim bratom, a nech sa ti klaňajú synovia tvojej matky! Ten, kto by ti zlorečil, nech je zlorečený, a ten, kto by ti žehnal, nech je požehnaný!

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.

³⁰A stalo sa hneď, ako prestal Izák žehnať Jakoba, len priam čo bol vyšiel Jakob od Izáka, svojho otca, že prišiel Ezav, jeho brat, zo svojho lovu.

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.

³¹A bol aj on pripravil chutný pokrm a doniesol svojmu otcovi a povedal mu: Nech vstane môj otec a jie z lovu svojho syna, aby ma požehnala tvoja duša!

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.

³²A Izák, jeho otec, mu povedal: Kto si ty? A odpovedal: Ja som tvoj syn, tvoj prvorodený, Ezav.

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

³³Vtedy sa zľakol Izák prenáramne a povedal: Kde kto je to, ktorý ulovil zverinu a doniesol mi? A ja som jedol zo všetkého prv ako si prišiel, a požehnal som ho, aj bude požehnaný!

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.

³⁴Keď počul Ezav slová svojho otca, skríkol velikým krikom a horkým prenáramne a povedal svojmu otcovi: Požehnaj i mňa, môj otče!

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!

³⁵A on odpovedal: Tvoj brat prišiel so ľsťou a vzal tvoje požehnanie.

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

³⁶A povedal: Správne nazvali jeho meno Jakob, lebo ma toto už druhý raz oklamal: vzal moje prvorodenstvo a hľa, teraz vzal i moje požehnanie. A dodal: Či si pre mňa neodložil požehnania?

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?

³⁷Izák odpovedal a riekol Ezavovi: Hľa, učinil som ho pánom nad tebou a všetkých jeho bratov som mu dal za služobníkov a zaopatril som ho obilím a šťavou z hrozna. A tebe kde čo učiním, môj synu?

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?

³⁸A Ezav povedal svojmu otcovi: Či máš len to jedno požehnanie, môj otče? Požehnaj i mňa, môj otče! Potom pozdvihol Ezav svoj hlas a plakal.

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.

³⁹A Izák, jeho otec, odpovedal a riekol mu: Hľa, ďaleko od žírnych polí zeme bude tvoje obydlie, a od nebeskej rosy, ktorú dáva Bôh s hora.

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;

⁴⁰A budeš žiť na svojom meči a budeš slúžiť svojmu bratovi, ale bude raz, keď budeš panovať, že polámeš jeho jarmo a shodíš ho so svojej šije.

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.

⁴¹A Ezav zjavne nenávidel Jakoba pre požehnanie, ktorým ho požehnal jeho otec. A Ezav povedal vo svojom srdci: Priblížia sa dni smútku za môjho otca, a zabijem Jakoba, svojho brata.

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.

⁴²A oznámené boly Rebeke slová Ezava, jej staršieho syna. Preto pošlúc zavolala Jakoba, svojho mladšieho syna a povedala mu: Hľa, Ezav, tvoj brat, sa teší ohľadne teba, že ťa zabije.

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.

⁴³Preto teraz, môj synu, poslúchni na môj hlas a vstaň a uteč k Lábanovi, môjmu bratovi do Chárana.

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

⁴⁴A budeš bývať u neho nejaký čas, dokiaľ sa neodvráti prchlivosť tvojho brata.

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

⁴⁵Až sa zase odvráti hnev tvojho brata od teba, a zabudne na to, čo si mu urobil, potom pošlem po teba a vezmem ťa odtiaľ. Prečo vás mám utratiť oboch v jeden deň!

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?

⁴⁶A Rebeka povedala Izákovi: Protiví sa mi život pre dcéry Hetove. Jestli si aj Jakob vezme ženu z dcér Hetových, ako sú tieto, z dcér tejto zeme, načo mi potom život?!

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?
