| 1 | Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see: and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him: My son? And he answered: Here I am. | 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. |
| 2 | And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death. | Καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ γεγήρακα, καὶ οὐ γινώσκω τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς τελευτῆς μου. |
| 3 | Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting, | Νῦν οὖν λάβε τὸ σκεῦός σου, τήν τε φαρέτραν, καὶ τὸ τόξον, καὶ ἔξελθε εἰς τὸ πεδίον, καὶ θήρευσόν μοι θήραν. |
| 4 | Make me savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it, that I may eat: and 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. |
| 5 | And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father’s commandment, | Ῥεβέκκα δὲ ἤκουσε λαλοῦντος Ἰσαὰκ πρὸς Ἡσαῦ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ἡσαῦ εἰς τὸ πεδίον θηρεῦσαι θήραν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ. |
| 6 | She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him: | Ῥεβέκκα δὲ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Ἰακὼβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν ἐλάσσω, ἴδε, ἤκουσα τοῦ πατρός σου λαλοῦντος πρὸς Ἡσαῦ τὸν ἀδελφόν σου, λέγοντος, |
| 7 | Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die. | Ἔνεγκόν μοι θήραν, καὶ ποίησόν μοι ἐδέσματα, ἵνα φαγὼν εὐλογήσω σε ἐναντίον Κυρίου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν με. |
| 8 | Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel: | Νῦν οὖν, υἱέ μου, ἄκουσόν μου, καθὰ ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι. |
| 9 | And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth: | Καὶ πορευθεὶς εἰς τὰ πρόβατα, λάβε μοι ἐκεῖθεν δύο ἐρίφους ἁπαλοὺς καὶ καλοὺς, καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἐδέσματα τῷ πατρί σου, ὡς φιλεῖ. |
| 10 | Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die. | Καὶ εἰσοίσεις τῷ πατρί σου, καὶ φάγεται, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ὁ πατήρ σου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτόν. |
| 11 | And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth. | Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Ῥεβέκκαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, ἔστιν Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφός μου ἀνὴρ δασὺς, ἐγὼ δὲ ἀνὴρ λεῖος. |
| 12 | If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing. | Μή ποτε ψηλαφήσῃ με ὁ πατὴρ, καὶ ἔσομαι ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὡς καταφρονῶν, καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπʼ ἐμαυτὸν κατάραν, καὶ οὐκ εὐλογίαν. |
| 13 | And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said. | Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ, ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἡ κατάρα σου, τέκνον· μόνον ἐπάκουσόν μου τῆς φωνῆς, καὶ πορευθεὶς ἔνεγκέ μοι. |
| 14 | He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked. | Πορευθεὶς δὲ ἔλαβε, καὶ ἤνεγκε τῇ μητρί· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἐδέσματα, καθὰ ἐφίλει ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ. |
| 15 | And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her: | 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. |
| 16 | And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck. | Καὶ τὰ δέρματα τῶν ἐρίφων περιέθηκεν ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ γυμνὰ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτοῦ. |
| 17 | And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked. | Καὶ ἔδωκε τὰ ἐδέσματα, καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους οὓς ἐποίησεν, εἰς τὰς χεῖρας Ἰακὼβ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς. |
| 18 | Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son? | Καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ· εἶπε δὲ, πάτερ· ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ· τίς εἶ σὺ, τέκνον; |
| 19 | And Jacob said: I am Esau thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, 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. |
| 20 | And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way. | Εἶπε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ, τί τοῦτο, ὃ ταχὺ εὗρες, ὦ τέκνον; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ὃ παρέδωκε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ἐναντίον μου. |
| 21 | And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not. | Εἶπε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ Ἰακὼβ, ἔγγισόν μοι, καὶ ψηλαφήσω σε, τέκνον, εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου Ἡσαῦ, ἢ οὔ. |
| 22 | He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed 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. |
| 23 | And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him, | Καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνω αὐτὸν, ἦσαν γὰρ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ, ὡς αἱ χεῖρες Ἡσαῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, δασεῖαι· καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν, |
| 24 | He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am. | καὶ εἶπε, σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου Ἡσαῦ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἐγώ. |
| 25 | Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk, | 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. |
| 26 | He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son. | Καὶ εἴπεν αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ἔγγισόν μοι, καὶ φίλησόν με, τέκνον. |
| 27 | He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord 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. |
| 28 | God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance 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. |
| 29 | And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother’s children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings. | 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. |
| 30 | Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came, | 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. |
| 31 | And brought in to his father meats made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy 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. |
| 32 | And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, τίς εἶ σύ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ υἱός σου ὁ πρωτότοκος Ἡσαῦ. |
| 33 | Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly: and wondering beyond what can be believed, said Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, 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. |
| 34 | Esau having heard his father’s words, roared out with a great cry: and being in a great consternation, said: Bless me also, 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. |
| 35 | And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing. | Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ, ἐλθὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου μετὰ δόλου ἔλαβε τὴν εὐλογίαν σου. |
| 36 | But he said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: my first birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing? | 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; |
| 37 | Isaac answered: I have appointed him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants: I have established him with corn and wine, and after this, what shall I do more 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; |
| 38 | And Esau said to him: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry, | 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. |
| 39 | Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above, | Ἀποκοιθεὶς δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ ἀπὸ τῆς πιότητος τῆς γῆς ἔσται ἡ κατοίκησίς σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἄνωθεν. |
| 40 | Shall thy blessing be. Thou shalt live by the sword and shalt serve thy brother: and the time shall come, when thou shalt shake off and loose his yoke from thy neck. | Καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ μαχαίρᾳ σου ζήσῃ, καὶ τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου δουλεύσεις· ἔσται δὲ ἡνίκα ἐὰν καθέλῃς καὶ ἐκλύσῃς τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου σου. |
| 41 | Esau therefore always hated Jacob for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him: and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob. | Καὶ ἐνεκότει Ἡσαῦ τῷ Ἰακὼβ περὶ τῆς εὐλογίας, ἧς εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐγγισάτωσαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ πένθους τοῦ πατρός μου, ἵνα ἀποκτείνω Ἰακὼβ τὸν ἀδελφόν μου. |
| 42 | These things were told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob her son, and said to him: Behold Esau thy brother threateneth to kill thee. | Ἀπηγγέλη δὲ Ῥεβέκκᾳ τὰ ῥήματα Ἡσαῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου· καὶ πέμψασα ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν νεώτερον, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ Ἡσαῦ ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἀπειλεῖ σοι τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναί σε. |
| 43 | Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran: | Νῦν οὖν, τέκνον, ἄκουσόν μου τῆς φωνῆς, καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀπόδραθι εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν πρὸς Λάβαν τὸν ἀδελφόν μου εἰς Χαῤῥάν. |
| 44 | And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged, | Καὶ οἴκησον μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἡμέρας τινὰς, ἕως τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμὸν, |
| 45 | And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day? | καὶ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἐπιλάθηται ἃ πεποίηκας αὐτῷ· καὶ ἀποστείλασα μεταπέμψομαί σε ἐκεῖθεν, μή ποτε ἀποτεκνωθῶ ἀπὸ τῶν δύο ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ. |
| 46 | And Rebecca said to Isaac: I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the stock of this land, I choose not to live. | Εἶπε δὲ Ῥεβέκκα πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ, προσώχθικα τῇ ζωῇ μου διὰ τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ· εἰ λήψεται Ἰακὼβ γυναῖκα ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῆς γῆς ταύτης, ἵνα τί μοι τὸ ζῇν; |
