וַיְהִי כִּי־זָקֵן יִצְחָק וַתִּכְהֶיןָ עֵינָיו מֵרְאֹת וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־עֵשָׂו בְּנוֹ הַגָּדֹל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו בְּנִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּנִי
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 elder son, and said unto him: 'My son'; and he said unto him: 'Here am I.'
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 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].
2
וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה־נָא זָקַנְתִּי לֹא יָדַעְתִּי יוֹם מוֹתִי
And he said: 'Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death.
Καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ γεγήρακα, καὶ οὐ γινώσκω τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς τελευτῆς μου.
And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.
3
וְעַתָּה שָׂא־נָא כֵלֶיךָ תֶּלְיְךָ וְקַשְׁתֶּךָ וְצֵא הַשָּׂדֶה וְצוּדָה לִּי צידה צָיִד
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison;
Νῦν οὖν λάβε τὸ σκεῦός σου, τήν τε φαρέτραν, καὶ τὸ τόξον, καὶ ἔξελθε εἰς τὸ πεδίον, καὶ θήρευσόν μοι θήραν.
Now then take thy weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
4
וַעֲשֵׂה־לִי מַטְעַמִּים כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהַבְתִּי וְהָבִיאָה לִּי וְאֹכֵלָה בַּעֲבוּר תְּבָרֶכְךָ נַפְשִׁי בְּטֶרֶם אָמוּת
and make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it 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 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.
5
וְרִבְקָה שֹׁמַעַת בְּדַבֵּר יִצְחָק אֶל־עֵשָׂו בְּנוֹ וַיֵּלֶךְ עֵשָׂו הַשָּׂדֶה לָצוּד צַיִד לְהָבִיא
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Ῥεβέκκα δὲ ἤκουσε λαλοῦντος Ἰσαὰκ πρὸς Ἡσαῦ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ἡσαῦ εἰς τὸ πεδίον θηρεῦσαι θήραν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ.
And Rebekah heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
6
וְרִבְקָה אָמְרָה אֶל־יַעֲקֹב בְּנָהּ לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה שָׁמַעְתִּי אֶת־אָבִיךָ מְדַבֵּר אֶל־עֵשָׂו אָחִיךָ לֵאמֹר
And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying: 'Behold, I heard thy father speak unto 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,
And Rebekah said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,
7
הָבִיאָה לִּי צַיִד וַעֲשֵׂה־לִי מַטְעַמִּים וְאֹכֵלָה וַאֲבָרֶכְכָה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לִפְנֵי מוֹתִי
Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless thee before HaShem before my death.
Ἔνεγκόν μοι θήραν, καὶ ποίησόν μοι ἐδέσματα, ἵνα φαγὼν εὐλογήσω σε ἐναντίον Κυρίου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν με.
Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.
8
וְעַתָּה בְנִי שְׁמַע בְּקֹלִי לַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי מְצַוָּה אֹתָךְ
Now therefore, my son, hearken to my voice according to that which I command thee.
Νῦν οὖν, υἱέ μου, ἄκουσόν μου, καθὰ ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι.
Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.
9
לֶךְ־נָא אֶל־הַצֹּאן וְקַח־לִי מִשָּׁם שְׁנֵי גְּדָיֵי עִזִּים טֹבִים וְא͏ֶעֱשֶׂה אֹתָם מַטְעַמִּים לְאָבִיךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהֵב
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury food for thy father, such as he loveth;
Καὶ πορευθεὶς εἰς τὰ πρόβατα, λάβε μοι ἐκεῖθεν δύο ἐρίφους ἁπαλοὺς καὶ καλοὺς, καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἐδέσματα τῷ πατρί σου, ὡς φιλεῖ.
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.
10
וְהֵבֵאתָ לְאָבִיךָ וְאָכָל בַּעֲבֻר אֲשֶׁר יְבָרֶכְךָ לִפְנֵי מוֹתוֹ
and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death.'
Καὶ εἰσοίσεις τῷ πατρί σου, καὶ φάγεται, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ὁ πατήρ σου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτόν.
And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.
11
וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־רִבְקָה אִמּוֹ הֵן עֵשָׂו אָחִי אִישׁ שָׂעִר וְאָנֹכִי אִישׁ חָלָק
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother: 'Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Ῥεβέκκαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, ἔστιν Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφός μου ἀνὴρ δασὺς, ἐγὼ δὲ ἀνὴρ λεῖος.
And Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
12
אוּלַי יְמֻשֵּׁנִי אָבִי וְהָיִיתִי בְעֵינָיו כִּמְתַעְתֵּעַ וְהֵבֵאתִי עָלַי קְלָלָה וְלֹא בְרָכָה
My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a mocker; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.'
Μή ποτε ψηλαφήσῃ με ὁ πατὴρ, καὶ ἔσομαι ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὡς καταφρονῶν, καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπʼ ἐμαυτὸν κατάραν, καὶ οὐκ εὐλογίαν.
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.
13
וַתֹּאמֶר לוֹ אִמּוֹ עָלַי קִלְלָתְךָ בְּנִי אַךְ שְׁמַע בְּקֹלִי וְלֵךְ קַח־לִי
And his mother said unto him: 'Upon me be thy curse, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go fetch me them.'
Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ, ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἡ κατάρα σου, τέκνον· μόνον ἐπάκουσόν μου τῆς φωνῆς, καὶ πορευθεὶς ἔνεγκέ μοι.
And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
14
וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּקַּח וַיָּבֵא לְאִמּוֹ וַתַּעַשׂ אִמּוֹ מַטְעַמִּים כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהֵב אָבִיו
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother; and his mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
Πορευθεὶς δὲ ἔλαβε, καὶ ἤνεγκε τῇ μητρί· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἐδέσματα, καθὰ ἐφίλει ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
15
וַתִּקַּח רִבְקָה אֶת־בִּגְדֵי עֵשָׂו בְּנָהּ הַגָּדֹל הַחֲמֻדֹת אֲשֶׁר אִתָּהּ בַּבָּיִת וַתַּלְבֵּשׁ אֶת־יַעֲקֹב בְּנָהּ הַקָּטָן
And Rebekah took the choicest garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon 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 Rebekah having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.
16
וְאֵת עֹרֹת גְּדָיֵי הָעִזִּים הִלְבִּישָׁה עַל־יָדָיו וְעַל חֶלְקַת צַוָּארָיו
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck.
Καὶ τὰ δέρματα τῶν ἐρίφων περιέθηκεν ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ γυμνὰ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτοῦ.
And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
17
וַתִּתֵּן אֶת־הַמַּטְעַמִּים וְאֶת־הַלֶּחֶם אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂתָה בְּיַד יַעֲקֹב בְּנָהּ
And she gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Καὶ ἔδωκε τὰ ἐδέσματα, καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους οὓς ἐποίησεν, εἰς τὰς χεῖρας Ἰακὼβ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς.
And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
18
וַיָּבֹא אֶל־אָבִיו וַיֹּאמֶר אָבִי וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֶּנִּי מִי אַתָּה בְּנִי
And he came unto his father, and said: 'My father'; and he said: 'Here am I; who art thou, my son?'
Καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ· εἶπε δὲ, πάτερ· ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ· τίς εἶ σὺ, τέκνον;
And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who art thou, son?
19
וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־אָבִיו אָנֹכִי עֵשָׂו בְּכֹרֶךָ עָשִׂיתִי כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ אֵלָי קוּם־נָא שְׁבָה וְאָכְלָה מִצֵּידִי בַּעֲבוּר תְּבָרֲכַנִּי נַפְשֶׁךָ
And Jacob said unto his father: 'I am Esau thy first-born; I have done according as thou badest me. Arise, I pray thee, 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 Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy firstborn, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20
וַיֹּאמֶר יִצְחָק אֶל־בְּנוֹ מַה־זֶּה מִהַרְתָּ לִמְצֹא בְּנִי וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי הִקְרָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְפָנָי
And Isaac said unto his son: 'How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son?' And he said: 'Because HaShem thy G-d sent me good speed.'
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 his son, What is this which thou hast quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord thy God presented before me.
21
וַיֹּאמֶר יִצְחָק אֶל־יַעֲקֹב גְּשָׁה־נָּא וַאֲמֻשְׁךָ בְּנִי הַאַתָּה זֶה בְּנִי עֵשָׂו אִם־לֹא
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.'
Εἶπε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ Ἰακὼβ, ἔγγισόν μοι, καὶ ψηλαφήσω σε, τέκνον, εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου Ἡσαῦ, ἢ οὔ.
And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw nigh to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.
22
וַיִּגַּשׁ יַעֲקֹב אֶל־יִצְחָק אָבִיו וַיְמֻשֵּׁהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר הַקֹּל קוֹל יַעֲקֹב וְהַיָּדַיִם יְדֵי עֵשָׂו
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said: 'The voice is the voice of Jacob, 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 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.
23
וְלֹא הִכִּירוֹ כִּי־הָיוּ יָדָיו כִּידֵי עֵשָׂו אָחִיו שְׂעִרֹת וַיְבָרְכֵהוּ
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; so 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 knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,
24
וַיֹּאמֶר אַתָּה זֶה בְּנִי עֵשָׂו וַיֹּאמֶר אָנִי
And he said: 'Art thou my very son Esau?' And he said: 'I am.'
καὶ εἶπε, σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου Ἡσαῦ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἐγώ.
and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I [am].
25
וַיֹּאמֶר הַגִּשָׁה לִּי וְאֹכְלָה מִצֵּיד בְּנִי לְמַעַן תְּבָרֶכְךָ נַפְשִׁי וַיַּגֶּשׁ־לוֹ וַיֹּאכַל וַיָּבֵא לוֹ יַיִן וַיֵּשְׁתְּ
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.
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 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.
26
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יִצְחָק אָבִיו גְּשָׁה־נָּא וּשְׁקָה־לִּי בְּנִי
And his father Isaac said unto him: 'Come near now, and kiss me, my son.'
Καὶ εἴπεν αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ἔγγισόν μοι, καὶ φίλησόν με, τέκνον.
And Isaac his father said to him, Draw nigh to me, and kiss me, son.
27
וַיִּגַּשׁ וַיִּשַּׁק־לוֹ וַיָּרַח אֶת־רֵיחַ בְּגָדָיו ו͏ַיְבָרֲכֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר רְאֵה רֵיחַ בְּנִי כְּרֵיחַ שָׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר בֵּרֲכוֹ יְהוָה
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 HaShem hath 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 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.
28
וְיִתֶּן־לְךָ הָאֱלֹהִים מִטַּל הַשָּׁמַיִם וּמִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְרֹב דָּגָן וְתִירֹשׁ
So G-d give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fat places of the earth, and plenty 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 may God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And abundance of corn and wine.
29
י͏ַעַבְדוּךָ עַמִּים וישתחו וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְךָ לְאֻמִּים הֱוֵה גְבִיר לְאַחֶיךָ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ לְךָ בְּנֵי אִמֶּךָ אֹרְרֶיךָ אָרוּר וּמְבָרֲכֶיךָ בָּרוּךְ
Let peoples 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 every one that blesseth 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 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.
30
וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר כִּלָּה יִצְחָק לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־יַעֲקֹב וַיְהִי אַךְ יָצֹא יָצָא יַעֲקֹב מֵאֵת פְּנֵי יִצְחָק אָבִיו וְעֵשָׂו אָחִיו בָּא מִצֵּידוֹ
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.
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 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.
31
וַיַּעַשׂ גַּם־הוּא מַטְעַמִּים וַיָּבֵא לְאָבִיו וַיֹּאמֶר לְאָבִיו יָקֻם אָבִי וְיֹאכַל מִצֵּיד בְּנוֹ בַּעֲבוּר תְּבָרֲכַנִּי נַפְשֶׁךָ
And he also made savoury food, and brought it unto his father; and he said unto 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 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.
32
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יִצְחָק אָבִיו מִי־אָתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר אֲנִי בִּנְךָ בְכֹרְךָ עֵשָׂו
And Isaac his father said unto him: 'Who art thou?' And he said: 'I am thy son, thy first-born, Esau.'
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, τίς εἶ σύ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ υἱός σου ὁ πρωτότοκος Ἡσαῦ.
And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy firstborn son Esau.
33
וַיֶּחֱרַד יִצְחָק חֲרָדָה גְּדֹלָה עַד־מְאֹד וַיֹּאמֶר מִי־אֵפוֹא הוּא הַצָּד־צַיִד וַיָּבֵא לִי וָאֹכַל מִכֹּל בְּטֶרֶם תָּבוֹא וָאֲבָרֲכֵהוּ גַּם־בָּרוּךְ יִהְיֶה
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said: 'Who then 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.'
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 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.
34
כִּשְׁמֹעַ עֵשָׂו אֶת־דִּבְרֵי אָבִיו וַיִּצְעַק צְעָקָה גְּדֹלָה וּמָרָה עַד־מְאֹד וַיֹּאמֶר לְאָבִיו בָּרֲכֵנִי גַם־אָנִי אָבִי
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said unto his father: 'Bless me, even me also, O my 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 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.
35
וַיֹּאמֶר בָּא אָחִיךָ בְּמִרְמָה וַיִּקַּח בִּרְכָתֶךָ
And he said: 'Thy brother came with guile, and hath taken away thy blessing.'
Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ, ἐλθὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου μετὰ δόλου ἔλαβε τὴν εὐλογίαν σου.
And he said to him, Thy brother has come with subtlety, and taken thy blessing.
36
וַיֹּאמֶר הֲכִי קָרָא שְׁמוֹ יַעֲקֹב ו͏ַיַּעְקְבֵנִי זֶה פַעֲמַיִם אֶת־בְּכֹרָתִי לָקָח וְהִנֵּה עַתָּה לָקַח בִּרְכָתִי וַיֹּאמַר הֲלֹא־אָצַלְתָּ לִּי בְּרָכָה
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?'
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 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?
37
וַיַּעַן יִצְחָק וַיֹּאמֶר לְעֵשָׂו הֵן גְּבִיר שַׂמְתִּיו לָךְ וְאֶת־כָּל־אֶחָיו נָתַתִּי לוֹ לַעֲבָדִים וְדָגָן וְתִירֹשׁ סְמַכְתִּיו וּלְכָה אֵפוֹא מָה א͏ֶעֱשֶׂה בְּנִי
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 then shall I do for thee, my 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 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?
38
וַיֹּאמֶר עֵשָׂו אֶל־אָבִיו הַבְרָכָה אַחַת הִוא־לְךָ אָבִי בָּרֲכֵנִי גַם־אָנִי אָבִי וַיִּשָּׂא עֵשָׂו קֹלוֹ וַיֵּבְךְּ
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.
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 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.
