Now it came about, when Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”
Когда Исаак состарился и глаза его так ослабли, что он ничего больше не видел, он позвал Исава, своего старшего сына, и сказал ему: — Сын мой! — Я здесь, — ответил Исав.
So he said, “Bring it to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, that I may bless you.” And he brought it to him, and he ate; he also brought him wine and he drank.
So he came close and kissed him; and when he smelled the smell of his garments, he blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed;
May peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you; Be master of your brothers, And may your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be those who curse you, And blessed be those who bless you.”
Да служат тебе племена, и да поклонятся тебе народы. Будь господином над твоими братьями, и да склонятся перед тобой сыновья твоей матери. Да будет проклят проклинающий тебя, а благословляющий да будет благословен.
Now it came about, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had hardly gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Then he also made savory food, and brought it to his father; and he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that you may bless me.”
Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who was he then that hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate of all of it before you came, and blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.”
Исаак весь задрожал и сказал: — Кто же был тот другой, который добыл дичи и принес мне? Я ел141 ее как раз перед твоим приходом и благословил его. Он теперь и будет благословен!
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, O my father!”
Then he said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob, for he has supplanted me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
Исав сказал: — Не по праву ли он назван Иаковом?142 Дважды он обошел меня: взял мое первородство, а теперь и мое благословение! И спросил: — Не осталось ли у тебя благословения и для меня?
But Isaac replied to Esau, “Behold, I have made him your master, and all his relatives I have given to him as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. Now as for you then, what can I do, my son?”
Исаак ответил Исаву: — Я сделал его господином над тобой, и всю его родню отдал ему в слуги, и одарил его хлебом и молодым вином. Что же я могу теперь сделать для тебя, мой сын?
Then Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Behold, away from the fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling, And away from the dew of heaven from above.
“By your sword you shall live, And your brother you shall serve; But it shall come about when you become restless, That you will break his yoke from your neck.”
So Esau bore a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him; and Esau said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Now when the words of her elder son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she sent and called her younger son Jacob, and said to him, “Behold your brother Esau is consoling himself concerning you by planning to kill you.
Ревекке передали, что сказал ее старший сын Исав, и она послала за младшим сыном, Иаковом, и сказала ему: — Твой брат Исав утешает себя мыслью убить тебя.
until your brother’s anger against you subsides and he forgets what you did to him. Then I will send and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
когда же гнев твоего брата утихнет, и он забудет то, что ты ему сделал, тогда я пошлю сказать тебе, что пора возвращаться. Зачем мне терять вас обоих в один день?
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am tired of living because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
Потом Ревекка сказала Исааку: — Я жизни не рада из-за этих дочерей хеттейских. Если и Иаков возьмет себе в жены местную женщину, такую вот хеттеянку, как эти, то зачем мне и жить?
