创世记-Genesis第27章

乐园李老师

创27:1  以撒年老，眼睛昏花，不能看见，就叫了他大儿子以扫来，说，我儿，以扫说，我在这里。
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, 'My son.' 'Here I am,' he answered.

创27:2  他说，我如今老了，不知道哪一天死。
Isaac said, 'I am now an old man and don't know the day of my death.

创27:3  现在拿你的器械，就是箭囊和弓，往田野去为我打猎，
Now then, get your weapons-your quiver and bow-and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

创27:4  照我所爱的作成美味，拿来给我吃，使我在未死之先给你祝福。
Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing before I die.'

创27:5  以撒对他儿子以扫说话，利百加也听见了。以扫往田野去打猎，要得野味带来。
Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt game and bring it back,

创27:6  利百加就对她儿子雅各说，我听见你父亲对你哥哥以扫说，
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, 'Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau,

创27:7  你去把野兽带来，作成美味给我吃，我好在未死之先，在耶和华面前给你祝福。
'Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the Lord before I die.'

创27:8  现在，我儿，你要照着我所吩咐你的，听从我的话。
Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you:

创27:9  你到羊群里去，给我拿两只肥山羊羔来，我便照你父亲所爱的给他作成美味。
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.

创27:10 你拿到你父亲那里给他吃，使他在未死之先给你祝福。
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing before he dies.'


创27:11 雅各对他母亲利百加说，我哥哥以扫浑身是有毛的，我身上是光滑的。
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, 'But my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a man with smooth skin.

创27:12 倘若我父亲摸着我，必以我为欺哄人的，我就招咒诅，不得祝福。
What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.'

创27:13 他母亲对他说，我儿，你招的咒诅归到我身上。你只管听我的话，去把羊羔给我拿来。
His mother said to him, 'My son, let the curse fall on me. Just do what I say; go and get them for me.'

创27:14 他便去拿来，交给他母亲。他母亲就照他父亲所爱的作成美味。
So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it.

创27:15 利百加又把家里所存大儿子以扫上好的衣服给他小儿子雅各穿上，
Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.

创27:16 又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和颈项的光滑处，
She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins.

创27:17 就把所作的美味和饼交在他儿子雅各的手里。
Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.

创27:18 雅各到他父亲那里说，我父亲。他说，我在这里。我儿，你是谁。
He went to his father and said, 'My father.' 'Yes, my son,' he answered. 'Who is it?'

创27:19 雅各对他父亲说，我是你的长子以扫。我已照你所吩咐我的行了。请起来坐着，吃我的野味，好给我祝福。
Jacob said to his father, 'I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game so that you may give me your blessing.'

创27:20 以撒对他儿子说，我儿，你如何找得这么快呢？他说，因为耶和华你的神使我遇见好机会得着的。
Isaac asked his son, 'How did you find it so quickly, my son?' 'The Lord your God gave me success,' he replied.


创27:21 以撒对雅各说，我儿，你近前来，我摸摸你，知道你真是我的儿子以扫不是。
Then Isaac said to Jacob, 'Come near so I can touch you, my son, to know whether you really are my son Esau or not.'

创27:22 雅各就挨近他父亲以撒。以撒摸着他，说，声音是雅各的声音，手却是以扫的手。
Jacob went close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, 'The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.'

创27:23 以撒就辨不出他来。因为他手上有毛，像他哥哥以扫的手一样，就给他祝福。
He did not recognize him, for his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.

创27:24 又说，你真是我儿子以扫吗？他说，我是。
'Are you really my son Esau?' he asked. 'I am,' he replied.

创27:25 以撒说，你递给我，我好吃我儿子的野味，给你祝福。雅各就递给他，他便吃了，又拿酒给他，他也喝了。
Then he said, 'My son, bring me some of your game to eat, so that I may give you my blessing.' Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank.

创27:26 他父亲以撒对他说，我儿，你上前来与我亲嘴。
Then his father Isaac said to him, 'Come here, my son, and kiss me.'

创27:27 他就上前与父亲亲嘴。他父亲一闻他衣服上的香气，就给他祝福，说，我儿的香气如同耶和华赐福之田地的香气一样。
So he went to him and kissed him. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, 'Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed.

创27:28 愿神赐你天上的甘露，地上的肥土，并许多五谷新酒。
May God give you of heaven's dew and of earth's richness-an abundance of grain and new wine.

创27:29 愿多民事奉你，多国跪拜你。愿你作你弟兄的主。你母亲的儿子向你跪拜。凡咒诅你的，愿他受咒诅。为你祝福的，愿他蒙福。
May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.'


创27:30 以撒为雅各祝福已毕，雅各从他父亲那里才出来，他哥哥以扫正打猎回来，
After Isaac finished blessing him and Jacob had scarcely left his father's presence, his brother Esau came in from hunting.

创27:31 也作了美味，拿来给他父亲，说，请父亲起来，吃你儿子的野味，好给我祝福。
He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then he said to him, 'My father, sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing.'

创27:32 他父亲以撒对他说，你是谁？他说，我是你的长子以扫。
His father Isaac asked him, 'Who are you?' 'I am your son,' he answered, 'your firstborn, Esau.'

创27:33 以撒就大大地战兢，说，你未来之先，是谁得了野味拿来给我呢？我已经吃了，为他祝福。他将来也必蒙福。
Isaac trembled violently and said, 'Who was it, then, that hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it just before you came and I blessed him-and indeed he will be blessed!'

创27:34 以扫听了他父亲的话，就放声痛哭，说，我父阿，求你也为我祝福。
When Esau heard his father's words, he burst out with a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, 'Bless me-me too, my father!'

创27:35 以撒说，你兄弟已经用诡计来将你的福分夺去了。
But he said, 'Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.'

创27:36 以扫说，他名雅各，岂不是正对吗？因为他欺骗了我两次。他从前夺了我长子的名分，你看，他现在又夺了我的福分。以扫又说，你没有留下为我可祝的福吗？
Esau said, 'Isn't he rightly named Jacob ? He has deceived me these two times: He took my birthright, and now he's taken my blessing!' Then he asked, 'Haven't you reserved any blessing for me?'

创27:37 以撒回答以扫说，我已立他为你的主，使他的弟兄都给他作仆人，并赐他五谷新酒可以养生。我儿，现在我还能为你作什么呢？
Isaac answered Esau, 'I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son?'

创27:38 以扫对他父亲说，父阿，你只有一样可祝的福吗？我父阿，求你也为我祝福。以扫就放声而哭。
Esau said to his father, 'Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!' Then Esau wept aloud.


创27:39 他父亲以撒说，地上的肥土必为你所住。天上的甘露必为你所得。
His father Isaac answered him, 'Your dwelling will be away from the earth's richness, away from the dew of heaven above.

创27:40 你必倚靠刀剑度日，又必事奉你的兄弟。到你强盛的时候，必从你颈项上挣开他的轭。
You will live by the sword and you will serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck.'

创27:41 以扫因他父亲给雅各祝的福，就怨恨雅各，心里说，为我父亲居丧的日子近了，到那时候，我要杀我的兄弟雅各。
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, 'The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.'

创27:42 有人把利百加大儿子以扫的话告诉利百加，她就打发人去，叫了她小儿子雅各来，对他说，你哥哥以扫想要杀你，报仇雪恨。
When Rebekah was told what her older son Esau had said, she sent for her younger son Jacob and said to him, 'Your brother Esau is consoling himself with the thought of killing you.

创27:43 现在，我儿，你要听我的话，起来，逃往哈兰，我哥哥拉班那里去，
Now then, my son, do what I say: Flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.

创27:44 同他住些日子，直等你哥哥的怒气消了。
Stay with him for a while until your brother's fury subsides.

创27:45 你哥哥向你消了怒气，忘了你向他所作的事，我便打发人去把你从那里带回来。为什么一日丧你们二人呢？
When your brother is no longer angry with you and forgets what you did to him, I'll send word for you to come back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?'

创27:46 利百加对以撒说，我因这赫人的女子连性命都厌烦了。倘若雅各也娶赫人的女子为妻，像这些一样，我活着还有什么益处呢？
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, 'I'm disgusted with living because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a wife from among the women of this land, from Hittite women like these, my life will not be worth living.'
