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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.”
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.
He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then he said to him, “My father, please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing.”
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!”
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!
Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacoba? This is the second time he has taken advantage of me: He took my birthright, and now he’s taken my blessing!” Then he asked, “Haven’t you reserved any 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?
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?”
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?
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.”
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 planning to avenge himself by killing 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.
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?”
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?
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.”
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?
