Genesis, 27

1. Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were cloudy, and so he was not able to see. And he called his elder son Esau, and he said to him, “My son?” And he responded, “Here I am.”

1. Ostarje Izak, vid mu se oèinji gasio. Zato zovne svoga starijeg sina Ezava i reèe mu: "Sine!" On mu odgovori: "Evo me!"

2. His father said to him: “You see that I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.

2. A on nastavi: "Vidiš, ostario sam, a ne znam dana svoje smrti.

3. Take your weapons, the quiver and the bow, and go out. And when you have taken something by hunting,

3. Zato uzmi svoju opremu, svoj tobolac i luk, pa idi u pustaru i ulovi mi divljaèi.

4. make from it a small meal for me, just as you know I like, and bring it, so that I may eat and my soul may bless you before I die.”

4. Onda mi pripremi ukusan obrok, kako volim, te mi ga donesi da blagujem, pa da te mognem blagosloviti prije nego umrem."

5. And when Rebekah had heard this, and he had gone out into the field to fulfill his father’s order,

5. Rebeka je slušala dok je Izak govorio svome sinu Ezavu, i kad je Ezav otišao u pustaru da ulovi divljaèi svome ocu,

6. she said to her son Jacob: “I heard your father speaking with your brother Esau, and saying to him,

6. Rebeka reèe svome sinu Jakovu: "Upravo sam èula kako tvoj otac govori tvome bratu Ezavu:

7. ‘Bring to me from your hunting, and make me foods, so that I may eat and bless you in the sight of the Lord before I die.’

7. 'Donesi mi divljaèi te mi priredi ukusan obrok da blagujem pa da te pred licem Jahvinim blagoslovim prije nego umrem.'

8. Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,

8. A sad, sine moj, poslušaj me i uèini kako ti naredim.

9. and go straight to the flock, and bring me two of the best young goats, so that from them I may make meat for your father, such as he willingly eats.

9. Otiði k stadu i odande mi donesi dva lijepa kozleta, a ja æu od njih prirediti ukusan obrok tvome ocu, kako on voli.

10. Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies.”

10. Onda ti donesi svome ocu da jede te tebe mogne blagosloviti prije nego umre."

11. He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am smooth.

11. Ali Jakov odgovori svojoj majci Rebeki: "E, ali moj je brat Ezav runjav, a ja sam bez dlaka!

12. If my father should lay hands on me and perceive it, I am afraid lest he think me willing to mock him, and I will bring a curse upon myself, instead of a blessing.”

12. Možda me se moj otac dotakne te æu u njegovim oèima ispasti varalicom i na se svaliti prokletstvo, a ne blagoslov."

13. And his mother said to him: “Let this curse be upon me, my son. Yet listen to my voice, and go directly to bring what I said.”

13. Ali njegova mu majka odgovori: "Sine moj, tvoje prokletstvo neka padne na mene! Samo ti mene poslušaj, otiði i donesi!"

14. He went out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just as she knew his father liked.

14. Ode on, naðe i donese svojoj majci, a njegova majka priredi ukusan obrok, kako je njegov otac volio.

15. And she clothed him with the very fine garments of Esau, which she had at home with her.

15. Potom Rebeka uzme najljepše odijelo svoga starijeg sina Ezava što je u kuæi imala, pa u nj odjene svoga mlaðeg sina Jakova.

16. And she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.

16. U kožu kozleta zamota mu ruke i goli dio vrata.

17. And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.

17. Stavi zatim ukusan obrok i kruh što ga je pripravila na ruke svoga sina Jakova.

18. When he had carried these in, he said, “My father?” And he answered, “I’m listening. Who are you, my son?”

18. Ode on k ocu i reèe: "Oèe!" On odgovori: "Evo me. Koji si ti moj sin?"

19. And Jacob said: “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you instructed me. Arise; sit and eat from my hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”

19. A Jakov odgovori svome ocu: "Ja sam Ezav, tvoj prvoroðenac; uèinio sam kako si mi rekao. Sad ustaj, sjedi pa jedi moje lovine, da me onda mogneš blagosloviti."

20. And again Isaac said to his son, “How were you able to find it so quickly, my son?” He answered, “It was the will of God, so that what I sought met with me quickly.”

20. Izak upita svoga sina: "Kako si tako brzo uspio, sine moj?" On odgovori: "Jer mi je Jahve, Bog tvoj, bio milostiv."

21. And Isaac said, “Come here, so that I may touch you, my son, and may prove whether you are my son Esau, or not.”

21. Potom Izak reèe Jakovu: "Primakni se, sine moj, da opipam jesi li ti zbilja moj sin Ezav ili nisi."

22. He approached 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.”

22. Jakov se primakne k svome ocu Izaku, koji ga opipa i reèe: "Glas je Jakovljev, ali su ruke Ezavove."

23. And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,

23. Nije ga prepoznao jer su mu ruke bile runjave kao i ruke njegova brata Ezava. Kad ga je htio blagosloviti,

24. he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”

24. upita još jednom: "Jesi li ti zaista moj sin Ezav?" Odgovori on: "Jesam."

25. Then he said, “Bring me the foods from your hunting, my son, so that my soul may bless you.” And when he had eaten what was offered, he also brought forth wine for him. And after he finished it,

25. Potom reèe Izak: "Stavi preda me da blagujem lovine svoga sina pa da te blagoslovi duša moja." Jakov ga posluži pa je jeo. Zatim mu donese i vina, pa je pio.

26. he said to him, “Come to me and give me a kiss, my son.”

26. Poslije toga reèe mu njegov otac Izak: "Primakni se, sine moj, i poljubi me!"

27. He approached and kissed him. And immediately he perceived the fragrance of his garments. And so, blessing him, he said: “Behold, the smell of my son is like the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord has blessed.

27. Kad se primaèe i poljubi ga, Izak osjeti miris njegove odjeæe pa ga blagoslovi: "Gle, miris sina mog nalik je mirisu polja koje Jahve blagoslovi.

28. May God give to you, from the dew of heaven and from the fatness of the earth, an abundance of grain and wine.

28. Neka ti Bog daje rosu s neba i rodnost zemlje: izobilje žita i mladoga vina.

29. And may the peoples serve you, and may the tribes reverence you. May you be the lord of your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down before you. Whoever curses you, may he be cursed, and whoever blesses you, may he be filled with blessings.”

29. Narodi ti služili, plemena ti se klanjala! Braæom svojom gospodari, nek sinci majke tvoje pred tobom padaju! Proklet bio tko tebe proklinje; blagoslovljen tko te blagoslivlje!"

30. Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.

30. Tek što se Jakov udaljio od svoga oca Izaka - pošto je Izak podijelio blagoslov Jakovu - njegov brat Ezav doðe iz lova.

31. And he brought his father foods cooked from his hunting, saying, “Arise, my father, and eat from your son’s hunting, so that your soul may bless me.”

31. I on priredi ukusan obrok i donese ga svome ocu. I reèe svome ocu: "Ustani, oèe moj, i blaguj od lovine svoga sina da me onda mogneš blagosloviti!"

32. And Isaac said to him, “But who are you?” And he answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”

32. A njegov ga otac Izak zapita: "Tko si ti?" On odgovori: "Ja sam tvoj prvoroðenac Ezav!"

33. Isaac became frightened and very astonished. And wondering beyond what can be believed, he said: “Then who is he that a while ago brought me the prey from his hunting, from which I ate, before you arrived? And I blessed him, and he will be blessed.”

33. Izak se silno prepadne: "Pa tko je onda bio onaj što je divljaèi ulovio i meni veæ donio? Blagovao sam je prije nego si ti došao; onoga sam blagoslovio i blagoslovljen æe ostati."

34. Esau, having heard his father’s words, roared out with a great outcry. And, being confounded, he said, “But bless me also, my father.”

34. Kad je Ezav èuo rijeèi svoga oca, kriknu glasno i gorko zaplaka pa reèe svome ocu: "I mene blagoslovi, oèe!"

35. And he said, “Your twin came deceitfully, and he received your blessing.”

35. A on odvrati: "Brat tvoj doðe na prijevaru i odnese tvoj blagoslov."

36. But he responded: “Justly is his name called Jacob. For he has supplanted me yet another time. My birthright he took away before, and now, this second time, he has stolen my blessing.” And again, he said to his father, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me also?”

36. "Zato valjda što mu je ime Jakov, dvaput me veæ prevario", reèe Ezav. "Oduzeo mi prvorodstvo, a sad mi evo oduze i blagoslov." Onda doda: "Zar za me nisi saèuvao nikakva blagoslova?"

37. Isaac answered: “I have appointed him as your lord, and I have subjugated all his brothers as his servants. I have reinforced him with grain and wine, and after this, my son, what more shall I do for you?”

37. Izak odgovori Ezavu: "Njega sam veæ postavio za tvoga gospodara; njemu sam svu njegovu braæu predao za sluge; žitom sam ga i vinom opskrbio. A što sad za te mogu uèiniti, sine moj?"

38. And Esau said to him: “Have you only one blessing, father? I beg you, bless me also.” And when he wept with a loud wail,

38. Ezav odgovori svome ocu: "Zar ti, oèe, raspolažeš samo jednim blagoslovom? Blagoslovi i mene, oèe moj!" Ezav jecaše na sav glas.

39. Isaac was moved, and he said to him: “In the fatness of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,

39. Tada otac njegov Izak progovori i reèe: "Daleko od plodna tla dom tvoj æe biti, daleko od rose s neba.

40. will your blessing be. You will live by the sword, and you will serve your brother. But the time will arrive when you will shake off and release his yoke from your neck.”

40. Od maèa svoga æeš živjeti, brata svoga æeš služiti. Ali jednom, kada se pobuniš, jaram æeš njegov stresti sa svog vrata."

41. Therefore, Esau always hated Jacob, for the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And he said in his heart, “The days will arrive for the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.”

41. Ezav zamrzi Jakova zbog blagoslova kojim ga je otac njegov blagoslovio pa reèe u sebi: "Èim doðu dani žalosti za mojim ocem, ubit æu ja svoga brata Jakova."

42. These things were reported to Rebekah. And sending and calling for her son Jacob, she said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau is threatening to kill you.

42. Kada su Rebeki javili te rijeèi što ih je izrekao njezin stariji sin Ezav, zovne ona svoga mlaðeg sina Jakova te mu reèe: "Pazi! Brat ti se Ezav nosi mišlju kako æe te ubiti.

43. Therefore, now my son, listen to my voice. Rise up and flee to my brother Laban, in Haran.

43. Ali ti, sine moj, poslušaj mene: odmah bježi mome bratu Labanu u Haran.

44. And you will dwell with him for a few days, until the fury of your brother subsides,

44. Ostani kod njega neko vrijeme, dok bijes brata tvoga na te jenja,

45. and his indignation ceases, and he forgets the things that you have done to him. After this, I will send for you and bring you from there to here. Why should I be bereaved of both my sons in one day?”

45. dok se srdžba brata tvoga odvrati od tebe te on zaboravi što si mu uèinio. Ja æu onda po te poslati i odande te dovesti. Zašto da vas obojicu izgubim u jedan dan!"

46. And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob accepts a wife from the stock of this land, I would not be willing to live.”

46. Potom Rebeka reèe Izaku: "Moj mi je život dosadio zbog ovih žena Hetitkinja. Ako se i Jakov oženi kojom kao što su ove uroðenice, Hetitkinjom, što æe mi onda život!"
