| 1 | And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. | |
| 2 | And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: | Iṇṇ'as Isxaq: «Nak əmərədda waššara, wər əṣṣena da daɣ-i təlla taṃattant. |
| 3 | Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; | Daɣ adi əmərədda əgmaya daɣ-ak ad tətkəla təganzay nnak əd ṃarran-net təggəzaɣ əṣuf tanɣaɣ i du iṣan ən tawaqqast. |
| 4 | And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. | Tassaŋŋaɣ i aṃensay izodan s əmmək wa as tareɣ tawəyaɣ i t'id at t'atša fəl a fall- ak ag'albaraka nin dat taṃattant in.» |
| 5 | And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. | Wa iššewal Isxaq y Esaw təṣṣisam asan Raqqiyetu. Igla Esaw, ikka tagmərt. |
| 6 | And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, | Təṇṇa i rures Yaqub: «Əmərədda ad əsleɣ y abba nnak iššewal y amaqqar nak Esaw, iṇṇ'as: |
| 7 | Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death. | "Awəy i du iṣan ən tawaqqast tagaɣ i aṃensay izodan az z'atša a fall-ak ag'albaraka nin dat Əməli harwa di wər aba" |
| 8 | Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. | Daɣ adi əmərədda barar in ṣəsəm i tagaɣ a w'as kay omara. |
| 9 | Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth: | A daɣ-ak areɣ at tagla takka eharay wa ənḍərran tabəza du əššin sagayan fəl a daɣ-san akna ameṇsay izodan y abba nnak s əmmək w'as t'ira. |
| 10 | And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. | Aṃaran tawəyaɣ as tu atš'ay fəl a fall-ak ag'albaraka-net dat taṃattant-net.» |
| 11 | And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: | Mišan Yaqub iṇṇa y anna-net Raqqiyetu: «Nak əṣṣanaɣ as amaqqar in Esaw ibəndəlan, nak abo. |
| 12 | My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. | As di iḍas abba nin, iṣṣan as bahu a das əge, a di abəz daɣ təkaddilt issəwər i allaɣanat daɣ adag n albaraka nnet». |
| 13 | And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. | «Təwəret i allaɣanat», təṇṇ'as ṃas. «Səsəm i ɣas aglu, ag'awa as dak əṇṇeɣ.» |
| 14 | And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. | Igla ilway tan du y anna-net təkna daɣ san ameṇsay wa izodan əmmək w'as t'ira abba nnet. |
| 15 | And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: | Dəffər adi tədkal du Raqqiyetu isəlsa n Esaw win əhossaynen as kala da əhan ehan-net təssəls'en i Yaqub wa n amaḍray nnet. |
| 16 | And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: | Təssəlsa tawšeten-net d iri-net agašek ən sagayan. |
| 17 | And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. | Dəffər a wen təkfa Yaqub ameṇsay wa izodan əd təgəlla a du təkna da. |
| 18 | And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? | Eway tan y abba-net issəslam fall as. Ibaz as tu Isxaq iṇṇ'as: «Ma təṃosa daɣ bararan in?» |
| 19 | And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. | Iṇṇ'as Yaqub: «nak Esaw, wa n aɣafadday nnak. Əgeɣ aw'as di təṇṇeɣ. Əgmaya daɣ ak a du taqqama, tatša awa d əgrawa daɣ təgmərt in fəl a fall-i tag' albaraka nnak.» |
| 20 | And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. | Iṇṇ'as Isxaq: «Ma təge as du təgrawa awaqqas s ətrub?» Ijjəwwab iṇṇ'as: «Əməli Məššina nnak a di dər əs isaṃṃanayan.» |
| 21 | And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. | Iṇṇa Iškaq i Yaqub: «Ihaz i du barar in a kay əḍəsa ad əṣṣəna kud tidət as kay Esaw. |
| 22 | And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. | Ihoz t'idu, isallamamas tu iṇṇa: «əməsli in Yaqub mišan ifassan in Esaw». |
| 23 | And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. | Ig̣mad as tazdit fəlas ifassan-net əlsan tan aṇzadan šilat ən win Esaw. Isammatag'as, inniyat du a fall-as ag'albaraka nnet |
| 24 | And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. | mišan ilas tu əṣəstan: «Tidət da as kay Esaw?» Ijjəwwab as Yaqub: «Awalla» |
| 25 | And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank. | Iṇṇ'as aṃaran: «Awəy du sər-i a wa du tənɣe daɣ təgmərt fəl ad tatša aga fall-ak albaraka nin.» Eway as du Yaqub ameṇsay, itš-ay, ikf-ay du esmad išw-ay. |
| 26 | And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. | Dəffər a di iṇṇ-as Isxaq: «Ihaz i du, təzələmmeɣ i barar in.» |
| 27 | And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed: | Ihoz t id izalammat tu təzzar iwat Isxaq aḍu ən səlsa win izlag, iga fall-as albaraka s as iṇṇa: «Hay aḍu ən barar in ola d aḍu n səgyakan win daɣ igar Əməli albarakatan |
| 28 | Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: | Akfet kay Məššina ikonakan agu iṃədlan nak kul idəɣran akf ik tilwat n alkamatan d esmad təleq qu w'aynayan |
| 29 | Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. | Šimattiwen kul dak ikkəwanan Iɣərfan deɣ dak əssəjədan Iməḍrayan nak daw-ək ərəsan Ayt mak kul dak əssəjədan Ilɣan Əməli i kay imənzaɣan Itəwəbərrək i kay ibərrakan. |
| 30 | And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. | Zama ad iɣrad Isxaq tehakkay ən Yaqub albaraka-net iqqab, oṣa ddu Esaw wa n amaqqar-net ifal du tagmərt. |
| 31 | And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me. | Ikna ddu əntada ameṇsay wa izodan eway tu y abba-net iṇṇ'as: «Qam abba nin tatša awa dd'ig̣madan tagmərt in, fəl a fall-i tag'albaraka nnak». |
| 32 | And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. | «Ma təṃosa?» iṣəstan t'Isxaq, abba nnet. «Nak Esaw wa n aɣafadday nnak.» |
| 33 | And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed. | Irmaɣ Isxaq har iqqim issiwal əs taysəst, iṇṇa: «Ma iṃos za wa dd'inɣan awaqqas eway i t'id ətšeq qu dat aṣṣa nnak. Əgeɣ fall-as albaraka, əmərədda iwar tu. |
| 34 | And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. | As isla Esaw y awalan n abba-net ig̣mad tu əməsli labasan iḍnay atkər, ad itigunun abba nnet: «Səwər i albaraka nnak nak da, abba nin.» |
| 35 | And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. | Mišan iṇṇ'as Isxaq: «Amaḍray nnak a di ikkərrasan təzzar idkal albaraka nnak.» |
| 36 | And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? | Iṇṇ-as Esaw: «Adi da fəl iga eṣəm Yaqub ṣanatat təkkərrəs a di iga: əstizarat idkal fall-i alxaq wa n təla nin fall-as temsay dəffər adi idkal fall-i albaraka nnak.» Iṇṇ'as harwa: «Wər di təṣsənsa albaraka iyyan?» |
| 37 | And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son? | Iṇṇ'as: «Əmərədda əgeq qu məšš-ik,əgeq qu məššis ən šəqqaɣan-net, əššilwaq qu s alkama d asmad w'aynayan. Daɣ adi mas tareɣ a dak k aga barar in?» |
| 38 | And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. | Iṇṇ'as Esaw: «Wər təleɣ ar albaraka iyyanda, abba? Səwər i tu nak da, abba nin.» Iḍbaɣ as ətkər. |
| 39 | And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; | Təzzar iṇṇ'as abba-net Isxaq: «Təməɣsurt nak akal wa n maṇṇa, Ikonakan dər-san təneməggəga. |
| 40 | And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. | Təməddurt nak takoba əd ṭarna. Əššəɣəl n amaḍray nnak kul tu takna Har taffalaga y a tu tarna Tasaddarfa iṃan-nak tala tat tarza.» |
| 41 | And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. | Igzar Esaw Yaqub fəl əddəlil n albaraka wa fall-as ig'abba nnet. Iṇṇa daɣ ṃan-net: «Daɣ a ihozan abba nnana ad t iba. Dəffər awen ad əfrəga ad anɣa Yaqub. |
| 42 | And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. | Təsla Raqqiyetu gezzar n Esaw Yaqub. Təssassaɣr'ay du, təṇṇ'as: «Amaqqar nak Esaw ira a daɣ-ak izzəzəl, s a kay anɣu. |
| 43 | Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; | Əmərədda barar in ṣəsəm i: «Taggar əs Xaran ɣur amaqqar in Laban. |
| 44 | And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away; | Agu ɣur-əs tamert har tiṣmad taɣašašit n amaqqar nak, |
| 45 | Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day? | har t'ig̣məd alham nak, aṭṭaw in a wa das təɣšada. Əddi a din assagla awedan dər-ək d'iglan. Fəlas wər areɣ a di tagim ag̣amad iyyanda ket-nawan fəl əššin-ewwan. |
| 46 | And Rebekah 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 which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me? | Təṇṇa y Isxaq wər əṃṃəndaya təməddurt fəl əddəlil ən təḍoden šinn aššet Xet. Ma əkkeɣ i təməddurt izlaf Yaqub iyyat daɣ Kəl Xet šilat ən šin, daɣ akal a. |
