Genesis 27

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
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.	1 Και αφου εγηρασεν ο Ισαακ, και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ημβλυνθησαν, ωστε δεν εβλεπεν, εκαλεσεν Ησαυ τον υιον αυτου τον μεγαλητερον, και ειπε προς αυτον, Υιε μου. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, εγω.
2 And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.	2 Και εκεινος ειπεν, Ιδου, τωρα, εγω εγηρασα? δεν γνωριζω την ημεραν του θανατου μου?
3 Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,	3 λαβε λοιπον, παρακαλω, τα οπλα σου, την φαρετραν σου και το τοξον σου, και εξελθε εις την πεδιαδα και κυνηγησον μοι κυνηγιον?
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.	4 και καμε μοι εδεσματα καθως αγαπω, και φερε μοι να φαγω, δια να σε ευλογηση η ψυχη μου πριν αποθανω.
5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father's commandment,	5 Η δε Ρεβεκκα ηκουσεν ενω ελαλει ο Ισαακ προς Ησαυ τον υιον αυτου. Και υπηγεν ο Ησαυ εις την πεδιαδα δια να κυνηγηση κυνηγιον και να φερη αυτο.
6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:	6 Και η Ρεβεκκα ελαλησε προς Ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης, λεγουσα, Ιδου, εγω ηκουσα τον πατερα σου λαλουντα προς Ησαυ τον αδελφον και λεγοντα,
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.	7 Φερε μοι κυνηγιον και καμε μοι εδεσματα, δια να φαγω, και να σε ευλογησω ενωπιον του Κυριου πριν αποθανω.
8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:	8 Τωρα λοιπον, υιε μου, ακουσον την φωνην μου εις οσα εγω σοι παραγγελλω?
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:	9 υπαγε τωρα εις το ποιμνιον, και λαβε μοι εκειθεν δυο καλα εριφια εξ αιγων? δια να καμω αυτα εδεσματα δια τον πατερα σου, καθως αγαπα?
10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.	10 και θελεις φερει αυτα προς τον πατερα σου να φαγη, δια σε ευλογηση πριν αποθανη.
11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.	11 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς Ρεβεκκαν την μητερα αυτου, Ιδου, ο Ησαυ ο αδελφος μου ειναι ανηρ δασυτριχος, εγω δε ανηρ ατριχος?
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.	12 ισως με ψηλαφηση ο πατηρ μου, και θελω φανη εις αυτον ως απατεων, και θελω συρει επ' εμαυτον καταραν και ουχι ευλογιαν.
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.	13 Ειπε δε προς αυτον η μητηρ αυτου, Επ' εμε η καταρα σου, τεκνον μου? μονον υπακουσον εις την φωνην μου και υπαγε, φερε μοι αυτα.
14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.	14 Και υπηγε, και ελαβε, και εφερεν αυτα προς την μητερα αυτου? και εκαμεν η μητηρ αυτου εδεσματα καθως ηγαπα ο πατηρ αυτου.
15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:	15 Και λαβουσα η Ρεβεκκα τα καλητερα φορεματα Ησαυ του μεγαλητερου υιου αυτης, τα οποια ειχεν εν τη οικια, ενεδυσε με αυτα Ιακωβ, τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον?
16 And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.	16 και με τα δερματα των εριφιων εσκεπασε τας χειρας αυτου, και τα γυμνα του τραχηλου αυτου?
17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.	17 και εδωκεν εις τας χειρας Ιακωβ του υιου αυτης τα εδεσματα και τον αρτον, τα οποια ητοιμασε.
18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?	18 Και ηλθε προς τον πατερα αυτου? και ειπε, Πατερ μου. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω? τις εισαι, τεκνον μου;
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.	19 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς τον πατερα αυτου, Εγω ειμαι Ησαυ ο πρωτοτοκος σου? εκαμα καθως μοι ειπας, σηκωθητι λοιπον, καθισον και φαγε εκ του κυνηγιου μου, δια να με ευλογηση η ψυχη σου.
20 And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son?	20 Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ προς τον υιον αυτου, Ποθεν τουτο, τεκνον μου, οτι ευρηκας τοσον ταχεως; Ο δε ειπε, Διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου εφερεν αυτο εμπροσθεν 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.	21 Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ προς τον Ιακωβ, Πλησιασον, τεκνον μου, δια να σε ψηλαφησω, αν συ ησαι αυτος ο υιος Ησαυ, η ουχι.
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.	22 Και επλησιασεν ο Ιακωβ εις τον Ισαακ τον πατερα αυτου? ο δε εψηλαφησεν αυτον, και ειπεν, Η μεν φωνη ειναι φωνη Ιακωβ, αι δε χειρες, χειρες Ησαυ.
23 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.	23 Και δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον, διοτι αι χειρες αυτου ησαν ως αι χειρες Ησαυ αδελφου αυτου, δασυτριχοι και ευλογησεν αυτον.

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,	25 Και ειπε, Φερε πλησιον μου, και θελω φαγει εκ του κυνηγιου του υιου μου, δια να σε ευλογηση η ψυχη μου. Και εφερε πλησιον αυτου, και εφαγεν? εφερε δε προς αυτον οινον και επιε.
26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.	26 Και ειπε προς αυτον Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, Πλησιασον τωρα, και φιλησον με, τεκνον μου.
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 Lord hath blessed.	27 Και επλησιασε, και εφιλησεν αυτον? και ωσφρανθη την οσμην των ενδυματων αυτου, και ευλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν, Ιδου, η οσμη του υιου μου ειναι ως οσμη πεδιαδος, την οποιαν ευλογησεν ο Κυριος?
28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.	28 Λοιπον ο Θεος να σοι δωση απο της δροσου του ουρανου και απο του παχους της γης και αφθονιαν σιτου και οινου?
29 And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let they mother's children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings.	29 Λαοι να σε δουλευσωσι και εθνη να σε προσκυνησωσι? να ησαι κυριος των αδελφων σου, και οι υιοι της μητρος σου να σε προσκυνησωσι? κατηραμενος οστις σε καταραται, και ευλογημενος οστις σε ευλογει
30 Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,	30 Και καθως επαυσεν ο Ισαακ ευλογων τον Ιακωβ, μολις ο Ιακωβ ειχεν εξελθει απ' εμπροσθεν του πατρος αυτου Ισαακ? και ηλθεν Ησαυ ο αδελφος αυτου εκ του κυνηγιου αυτου.
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.	31 Και εκαμε και αυτος εδεσματα και εφερε προς τον πατερα αυτου? και ειπε προς τον πατερα αυτου, Ας σηκωθη ο πατηρ μου, και ας φαγη εκ του κυνηγιου του υιου αυτου, δια να με ευλογηση η ψυχη σου.
32 And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.	32 Και ειπε προς αυτον Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, Τις εισαι; Ο δε ειπεν, Ειμαι ο υιος σου, ο πρωτοτοκος σου Ησαυ.
33 Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly: and wondering beyond what can be believed, said Who is he then the 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.	33 Και εξεπλαγη ο Ισαακ εκπληξιν μεγαλην σφοδρα, και ειπε, Ποιος ειναι λοιπον εκεινος, οστις εκυνηγησε κυνηγιον, και μοι εφερε και εφαγον απο παντων πριν εισελθης, και ευλογησα αυτον; και ευλογημενος θελει εισθαι.
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.	34 Οτε ηκουσεν ο Ησαυ τους λογους του πατρος αυτου, ανεκραξε κραυγην μεγαλην και πικραν σφοδρα? και ειπε προς τον πατερα αυτου, Ευλογησον με, και εμε, πατερ μου.
35 And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.	35 Ο δε ειπεν, Ηλθεν ο αδελφος σου μετα δολου, και ελαβε την ευλογιαν 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?	36 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ, Δικαιως εκαλεσθη το ονομα αυτου Ιακωβ, διοτι τωρα δευτεραν ταυτην φοραν με υπεσκελισεν? ελαβε τα πρωτοτοκια μου, και ιδου, τωρα ελαβε και την ευλογιαν μου. Και ειπε, Δεν εφυλαξας δι' εμε ευλογιαν;
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?	37 Και, απεκριθη ο Ισαακ, και ειπε προς τον Ησαυ, Ιδου, κυριον σου εκαμα αυτον, και παντας τους αδελφους αυτου εκαμα δουλους αυτου, και εστηριξα αυτον με σιτον και οινον? και τι λοιπον να καμω εις σε, τεκνον μου;
38 And Esac said to him: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry,	38 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ προς τον πατερα αυτου, Μηπως ταυτην μονην την ευλογιαν εχεις, πατερ μου; ευλογησον με, και εμε, πατερ μου. και υψωσεν ο Ησαυ την φωνην αυτου, και εκλαυσε.
39 Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,	39 Και απεκριθη Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, η κατοικησις σου θελει εισθαι εις το παχος της γης, και εις την δροσον του ουρανου ανωθεν?
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.	40 και με την μαχαιραν σου θελεις ζη, και εις τον αδελφον σου θελεις δουλευσει, οταν δε υπερισχυσης, θελεις συντριψει τον ζυγον αυτου απο του τραχηλου 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.	41 Και εμισει ο Ησαυ τον Ιακωβ, δια την ευλογιαν με την οποιαν ευλογησεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου? και ειπεν ο Ησαυ εν τη καρδια αυτου, Πλησιαζουσιν αι ημεραι του πενθους του πατρος μου? τοτε θελω φονευσει Ιακωβ τον αδελφον 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.	42 Ανηγγελθησαν, δε προς την Ρεβεκκαν οι λογοι Ησαυ του υιου αυτης του μεγαλητερου? και πεμψασα εκαλεσεν Ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, Ησαυ ο αδελφος σου παρηγορει εαυτον κατα σου, οτι θελει σε φονευσει.
43 Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:	43 Τωρα λοιπον, τεκνον μου, ακουσον την φωνην μου? και σηκωθεις, φυγε προς Λαβαν τον αδελφον μου εις Χαρραν?
44 And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till wrath of thy brother be assuaged,	44 και κατοικησον μετ' αυτου ημερας τινας, εωσου παρελθη ο θυμος του αδελφου σου?
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?	45 εωσου παυση η κατα σου οργη του αδελφου σου, και λησμονηση τα οσα επραξας εις αυτον? τοτε θελω στειλει, και θελω σε φερει εκειθεν? δια τι να σας στερηθω και τους δυο εν μια ημερα;
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.	46 Και ειπεν η Ρεβεκκα προς τον Ισαακ, Αηδιασα την ζωην μου εξ αιτιας των θυγατερων του Χετ? εαν ο Ιακωβ λαβη γυναικα εκ των θυγατερων του Χετ, καθως ειναι αυται εκ των θυγατερων της γης ταυτης, τι με ωφελει να ζω;
