Genesis 27

And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I am here.

Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ γηράσαι τὸν Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ ἠμβλύνθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ὁρᾷν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἡσαῦ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν πρεσβύτερον, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, υἱέ μου· καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.

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

Καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ γεγήρακα, καὶ οὐ γινώσκω τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς τελευτῆς μου.

Now then take thy weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,

Νῦν οὖν λάβε τὸ σκεῦός σου, τήν τε φαρέτραν, καὶ τὸ τόξον, καὶ ἔξελθε εἰς τὸ πεδίον, καὶ θήρευσόν μοι θήραν.

and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee, before I die.

Καὶ ποίησόν μοι ἐδέσματα, ὡς φιλῶ ἐγὼ, καὶ ἔνεγκέ μοι, ἵνα φάγω, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ἡ ψυχή μου πρὶν ἀποθανεῖν με.

And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.

Ῥεβέκκα δὲ ἤκουσε λαλοῦντος Ἰσαὰκ πρὸς Ἡσαῦ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ἡσαῦ εἰς τὸ πεδίον θηρεῦσαι θήραν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ.

And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,

Ῥεβέκκα δὲ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Ἰακὼβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν ἐλάσσω, ἴδε, ἤκουσα τοῦ πατρός σου λαλοῦντος πρὸς Ἡσαῦ τὸν ἀδελφόν σου, λέγοντος,

Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.

Ἔνεγκόν μοι θήραν, καὶ ποίησόν μοι ἐδέσματα, ἵνα φαγὼν εὐλογήσω σε ἐναντίον Κυρίου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν με.

Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.

Νῦν οὖν, υἱέ μου, ἄκουσόν μου, καθὰ ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι.

And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for thy father, as he likes.

Καὶ πορευθεὶς εἰς τὰ πρόβατα, λάβε μοι ἐκεῖθεν δύο ἐρίφους ἁπαλοὺς καὶ καλοὺς, καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἐδέσματα τῷ πατρί σου, ὡς φιλεῖ.

And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.

Καὶ εἰσοίσεις τῷ πατρί σου, καὶ φάγεται, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ὁ πατήρ σου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτόν.

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

Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Ῥεβέκκαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, ἔστιν Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφός μου ἀνὴρ δασὺς, ἐγὼ δὲ ἀνὴρ λεῖος.

Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.

Μή ποτε ψηλαφήσῃ με ὁ πατὴρ, καὶ ἔσομαι ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὡς καταφρονῶν, καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπʼ ἐμαυτὸν κατάραν, καὶ οὐκ εὐλογίαν.

And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring them me.

Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ, ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἡ κατάρα σου, τέκνον· μόνον ἐπάκουσόν μου τῆς φωνῆς, καὶ πορευθεὶς ἔνεγκέ μοι.

So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked them.

Πορευθεὶς δὲ ἔλαβε, καὶ ἤνεγκε τῇ μητρί· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἐδέσματα, καθὰ ἐφίλει ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.

Καὶ λαβοῦσα Ῥεβέκκα τὴν στολὴν Ἡσαῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου τὴν καλὴν, ἣ ἦν παρʼ αὐτῇ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὴν Ἰακὼβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν νεώτερον.

And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.

Καὶ τὰ δέρματα τῶν ἐρίφων περιέθηκεν ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ γυμνὰ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτοῦ.

And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.

Καὶ ἔδωκε τὰ ἐδέσματα, καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους οὓς ἐποίησεν, εἰς τὰς χεῖρας Ἰακὼβ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς.

And he brought them to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I am here; who art thou, son?

Καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ· εἶπε δὲ, πάτερ· ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ· τίς εἶ σὺ, τέκνον;

And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy first-born, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακὼβ τῷ πατρὶ, ἐγὼ Ἡσαῦ ὁ πρωτότοκός σου πεποίηκα καθὰ ἐλάλησάς μοι· ἀναστὰς κάθισον, καὶ φάγε ἀπὸ τῆς θήρας μου, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ με ἡ ψυχή σου.

And Isaac said to his son, What is this which thou hast quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord thy God presented before me.

Εἶπε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ, τί τοῦτο, ὃ ταχὺ εὗρες, ὦ τέκνον; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ὃ παρέδωκε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ἐναντίον μου.

And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw nigh to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.

Εἶπε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ Ἰακὼβ, ἔγγισόν μοι, καὶ ψηλαφήσω σε, τέκνον, εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου Ἡσαῦ, ἢ οὔ.

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

Ἤγγισε δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐψηλάφησεν αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπεν, ἡ μὲν φωνὴ, φωνὴ Ἰακὼβ, αἱ δὲ χεῖρες, χεῖρες Ἡσαῦ.

And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,

Καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνω αὐτὸν, ἦσαν γὰρ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ, ὡς αἱ χεῖρες Ἡσαῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, δασεῖαι· καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν,

and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I am.

καὶ εἶπε, σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου Ἡσαῦ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἐγώ.

And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of thy venison, son, that my soul may bless thee; and he brought it near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.

Καὶ εἶπε, προσάγαγέ μοι, καὶ φάγομαι ἀπὸ τῆς θήρας σου, τέκνον, ἵνα εὐλογήσῃ σε ἡ ψυχή μου· καὶ προσήνεγκεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔφαγε· καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτῷ οἶνον, καὶ ἔπιε.

And Isaac his father said to him, Draw nigh to me, and kiss me, son.

Καὶ εἴπεν αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ἔγγισόν μοι, καὶ φίλησόν με, τέκνον.

And he drew nigh and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.

Καὶ ἐγγίσας ἐφίλησεν αὐτόν· καὶ ὠσφράνθη τὴν ὀσμὴν τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ὀσμὴ τοῦ υἱοῦ μου, ὡς ὀσμὴ ἀγροῦ πλήρους, ὃν εὐλόγησε Κύριος.

And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.

Καὶ δῴη σοι ὁ Θεὸς ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς πιότητος τῆς γῆς, καὶ πλῆθος σίτου καὶ οἴνου.

And let nations serve thee, and princes bow down to thee, and be thou lord of thy brother, and the sons of thy father shall do thee reverence; accursed is he that curses thee, and blessed is he that blesses thee.

Καὶ δουλευσάτωσάν σοι ἔθνη, καὶ προσκυνησάτωσάν σοι ἄρχοντες· καὶ γίνου κύριος τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου, καὶ προσκυνήσουσί σοι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρός σου· ὁ καταρώμενός σε, ἐπικατάρατος· ὁ δὲ εὐλογῶν σε, εὐλογημένος.

And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ παύσασθαι Ἰσαὰκ εὐλογοῦντα Ἰακὼβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο, ὡς ἂν ἐξῆλθεν Ἰακὼβ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἦλθεν ἀπὸ τῆς θήρας.

And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.

Καὶ ἐποίησε καὶ αὐτὸς ἐδέσματα, καὶ προσήνεγκε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπε τῷ πατρὶ, ἀναστήτω ὁ πατήρ μου, καὶ φαγέτω ἀπὸ τῆς θήρας τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ με ἡ ψυχή σου.

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

Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, τίς εἶ σύ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ υἱός σου ὁ πρωτότοκος Ἡσαῦ.

And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.

Ἐξέστη δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἔκστασιν μεγάλην σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπε, τίς οὖν ὁ θηρεύσας μοι θήραν καὶ εἰσενέγκας μοι, καὶ ἔφαγον ἀπὸ πάντων πρὸ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν σε; καὶ εὐλόγησα αὐτὸν, καὶ εὐλογημένος ἔσται.

And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray thee, me also, father.

Ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤκουσεν Ἡσαῦ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσαὰκ, ἀνεβόησε φωνὴν μεγάλην καὶ πικρὰν σφόδρα· καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλόγησον δὴ κᾀμὲ, πάτερ.

And he said to him, Thy brother has come with subtlety, and taken thy blessing.

Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ, ἐλθὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου μετὰ δόλου ἔλαβε τὴν εὐλογίαν σου.

And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for lo! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast thou not left a blessing for me, father?

Καὶ εἶπε, δικαίως ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰακὼβ, ἐπτέρνικε γάρ με ἰδοὺ δεύτερον τοῦτο· τά τε πρωτοτόκιά μου εἴληφε, καὶ νῦν ἔλαβε τὴν εὐλογίαν μου· καὶ εἶπεν Ἡσαῦ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐχ ὑπελίπου μοι εὐλογίαν, πάτερ;

And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for thee, son?

Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰσαὰκ εἶπε τῷ Ἡσαῦ, εἰ κύριον αὐτὸν πεποίηκά σου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ πεποίηκα αὐτοῦ οἰκέτας· σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ ἐστήριξα αὐτόν· σοὶ δὲ τί ποιήσω, τέκνον;

And Esau said to his father, Hast thou only one blessing, father? Bless, I pray thee, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.

Εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, μὴ εὐλογία μία σοι ἔστι, πάτερ; εὐλόγησον δὴ κᾀμὲ, πάτερ· κατανυχθέντος δὲ Ἰσαὰκ, ἀνεβόησε φωνῇ Ἡσαῦ, καὶ ἔκλαυσεν.

And 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.

Ἀποκοιθεὶς δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ ἀπὸ τῆς πιότητος τῆς γῆς ἔσται ἡ κατοίκησίς σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἄνωθεν.

And thou shalt live by thy sword, and shalt serve thy brother; and there shall be a time when thou shalt break and loosen his yoke from off thy neck.

Καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ μαχαίρᾳ σου ζήσῃ, καὶ τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου δουλεύσεις· ἔσται δὲ ἡνίκα ἐὰν καθέλῃς καὶ ἐκλύσῃς τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου σου.

And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw nigh, that I may slay my brother Jacob.

Καὶ ἐνεκότει Ἡσαῦ τῷ Ἰακὼβ περὶ τῆς εὐλογίας, ἧς εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐγγισάτωσαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ πένθους τοῦ πατρός μου, ἵνα ἀποκτείνω Ἰακὼβ τὸν ἀδελφόν μου.

And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau thy brother threatens thee to kill thee.

Ἀπηγγέλη δὲ Ῥεβέκκᾳ τὰ ῥήματα Ἡσαῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου· καὶ πέμψασα ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν νεώτερον, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἀπειλεῖ σοι τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναί σε.

Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.

Νῦν οὖν, τέκνον, ἄκουσόν μου τῆς φωνῆς, καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀπόδραθι εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν πρὸς Λάβαν τὸν ἀδελφόν μου εἰς Χαῤῥάν.

And dwell with him certain days, until thy brother's anger

Καὶ οἴκησον μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἡμέρας τινὰς, ἕως τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν,

and rage depart from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; and I will send and fetch thee thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.

καὶ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἐπιλάθηται ἃ πεποίηκας αὐτῷ· καὶ ἀποστείλασα μεταπέμψομαί σε ἐκεῖθεν, μή ποτε ἀποτεκνωθῶ ἀπὸ τῶν δύο ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ.

And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, wherefore should I live?

Εἶπε δὲ Ῥεβέκκα πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ, προσώχθικα τῇ ζωῇ μου διὰ τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ· εἰ λήψεται Ἰακὼβ γυναῖκα ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῆς γῆς ταύτης, ἵνα τί μοι τὸ ζῇν;
