Genesis 27

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
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 εγενετο δε μετα το γηρασαι ισαακ και ημβλυνθησαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτου του οραν και εκαλεσεν ησαυ τον υιον αυτου τον πρεσβυτερον και ειπεν αυτω υιε μου και ειπεν 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 ειπεν ιδου γεγηρακα και ου γινωσκω την ημεραν της τελευτης μου
3 Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,	3 νυν ουν λαβε το σκευος σου την τε φαρετραν και το τοξον και εξελθε εις το πεδιον και θηρευσον μοι θηραν
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 ποιησον μοι εδεσματα ως φιλω εγω και ενεγκε μοι ινα φαγω οπως ευλογηση σε η ψυχη μου πριν αποθανειν με
5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father's commandment,	5 ρεβεκκα δε ηκουσεν λαλουντος ισαακ προς ησαυ τον υιον αυτου επορευθη δε ησαυ εις το πεδιον θηρευσαι θηραν τω πατρι αυτου
6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:	6 ρεβεκκα δε ειπεν προς ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον ελασσω ιδε εγω ηκουσα του πατρος σου λαλουντος προς ησαυ τον αδελφον σου λεγοντος
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 ενεγκον μοι θηραν και ποιησον μοι εδεσματα και φαγων ευλογησω σε εναντιον κυριου προ του αποθανειν με
8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:	8 νυν ουν υιε ακουσον μου καθα εγω σοι εντελλομαι
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 και πορευθεις εις τα προβατα λαβε μοι εκειθεν δυο εριφους απαλους και καλους και ποιησω αυτους εδεσματα τω πατρι σου ως φιλει
10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.	10 και εισοισεις τω πατρι σου και φαγεται οπως ευλογηση σε ο πατηρ σου προ του αποθανειν αυτον
11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.	11 ειπεν δε ιακωβ προς ρεβεκκαν την μητερα αυτου εστιν ησαυ ο αδελφος μου ανηρ δασυς εγω δε ανηρ λειος
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 μηποτε ψηλαφηση με ο πατηρ μου και εσομαι εναντιον αυτου ως καταφρονων και επαξω επ' εμαυτον καταραν και ουκ 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 ειπεν δε αυτω η μητηρ επ' εμε η καταρα σου τεκνον μονον υπακουσον της φωνης μου και πορευθεις ενεγκε μοι
14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.	14 πορευθεις δε ελαβεν και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι και εποιησεν η μητηρ αυτου εδεσματα καθα εφιλει ο πατηρ αυτου
15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:	15 και λαβουσα ρεβεκκα την στολην ησαυ του υιου αυτης του πρεσβυτερου την καλην η ην παρ' αυτη εν τω οικω ενεδυσεν 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 τα δερματα των εριφων περιεθηκεν επι τους βραχιονας αυτου και επι τα γυμνα του τραχηλου αυτου
17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.	17 και εδωκεν τα εδεσματα και τους αρτους ους εποιησεν εις τας χειρας ιακωβ του υιου αυτης
18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?	18 και εισηνεγκεν τω πατρι αυτου ειπεν δε πατερ ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω τις ει συ τεκνον
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 ιακωβ τω πατρι αυτου εγω ησαυ ο πρωτοτοκος σου εποιησα καθα ελαλησας μοι αναστας καθισον και φαγε της θηρας μου οπως ευλογηση με η ψυχη σου
20 And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son?	20 ειπεν δε ισαακ τω υιω αυτου τι τουτο ο ταχυ ευρες ω τεκνον ο δε ειπεν ο παρεδωκεν κυριος ο θεος σου εναντιον 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 ειπεν δε ισαακ τω ιακωβ εγγισον μοι και ψηλαφησω σε τεκνον ει συ ει ο υιος μου ησαυ η ου
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 ηγγισεν δε ιακωβ προς ισαακ τον πατερα αυτου και εψηλαφησεν αυτον και ειπεν η μεν φωνη φωνη ιακωβ αι δε χειρες χειρες ησαυ
23 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.	23 και ουκ επεγνω αυτον ησαν γαρ αι χειρες αυτου ως αι χειρες ησαυ του αδελφου αυτου δασειαι και ηυλογησεν 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 ειπεν προσαγαγε μοι και φαγομαι απο της θηρας σου τεκνον ινα ευλογηση σε η ψυχη μου και προσηγαγεν αυτω και εφαγεν και εισηνεγκεν αυτω οινον και επιεν
26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.	26 και ειπεν αυτω ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου εγγισον μοι και φιλησον με τεκνον
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 εγγισας εφιλησεν αυτον και ωσφρανθη την οσμην των ιματιων αυτου και ηυλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν ιδου οσμη του υιου μου ως οσμη αγρου πληρους ον ηυλογησεν κυριος
28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.	28 και δωη σοι ο θεος απο της δροσου του ουρανου και απο της πιοτητος της γης και πληθος 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 και δουλευσατωσαν σοι εθνη και προσκυνησουσιν σοι αρχοντες και γινου κυριος του αδελφου σου και προσκυνησουσιν σοι οι υιοι του πατρος σου ο καταρωμενος σε επικαταρατος ο δε ευλογων σε ευλογημενος
30 Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,	30 και εγενετο μετα το παυσασθαι ισαακ ευλογουντα ιακωβ τον υιον αυτου και εγενετο ως εξηλθεν ιακωβ απο προσωπου ισαακ του πατρος αυτου και ησαυ ο αδελφος αυτου ηλθεν απο της θηρας
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 εποιησεν και αυτος εδεσματα και προσηνεγκεν τω πατρι αυτου και ειπεν τω πατρι αναστητω ο πατηρ μου και φαγετω της θηρας του υιου αυτου οπως ευλογηση με η ψυχη σου
32 And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.	32 και ειπεν αυτω ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου τις ει συ ο δε ειπεν εγω ειμι ο υιος σου ο πρωτοτοκος 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 εξεστη δε ισαακ εκστασιν μεγαλην σφοδρα και ειπεν τις ουν ο θηρευσας μοι θηραν και εισενεγκας μοι και εφαγον απο παντων προ του σε ελθειν και ηυλογησα αυτον και ευλογημενος εστω
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 εγενετο δε ηνικα ηκουσεν ησαυ τα ρηματα ισαακ του πατρος αυτου ανεβοησεν φωνην μεγαλην και πικραν σφοδρα και ειπεν ευλογησον δη καμε πατερ
35 And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.	35 ειπεν δε αυτω ελθων ο αδελφος σου μετα δολου ελαβεν 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 δικαιως εκληθη το ονομα αυτου ιακωβ επτερνικεν γαρ με ηδη δευτερον τουτο τα τε πρωτοτοκια μου ειληφεν και νυν ειληφεν την ευλογιαν μου και ειπεν ησαυ τω πατρι αυτου ουχ υπελιπω μοι ευλογιαν πατερ
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 αποκριθεις δε ισαακ ειπεν τω ησαυ ει κυριον αυτον εποιησα σου και παντας τους αδελφους αυτου εποιησα αυτου οικετας σιτω και οινω εστηρισα αυτον σοι δε τι ποιησω τεκνον
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 ειπεν δε ησαυ προς τον πατερα αυτου μη ευλογια μια σοι εστιν πατερ ευλογησον δη καμε πατερ κατανυχθεντος δε ισαακ ανεβοησεν φωνην ησαυ και εκλαυσεν
39 Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,	39 αποκριθεις δε ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου ειπεν αυτω ιδου απο της πιοτητος της γης εσται η κατοικησις σου και απο της δροσου 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 επι τη μαχαιρη σου ζηση και τω αδελφω σου δουλευσεις εσται δε ηνικα εαν καθελης και εκλυσεις 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 ενεκοτει ησαυ τω ιακωβ περι της ευλογιας ης ευλογησεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου ειπεν δε ησαυ εν τη διανοια εγγισατωσαν αι ημεραι του πενθους του πατρος μου ινα αποκτεινω 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 απηγγελη δε ρεβεκκα τα ρηματα ησαυ του υιου αυτης του πρεσβυτερου και πεμψασα εκαλεσεν ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον και ειπεν αυτω ιδου ησαυ ο αδελφος σου απειλει σοι του αποκτειναι σε
43 Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:	43 νυν ουν τεκνον ακουσον μου της φωνης και αναστας αποδραθι εις την μεσοποταμιαν 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 οικησον μετ' αυτου ημερας τινας εως του αποστρεψαι τον θυμον
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 και την οργην του αδελφου σου απο σου και επιλαθηται α πεποιηκας αυτω και αποστειλασα μεταπεμψομαι σε εκειθεν μηποτε ατεκνωθω απο των δυο υμων εν ημερα μια
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 ειπεν δε ρεβεκκα προς ισαακ προσωχθικα τη ζωη μου δια τας θυγατερας των υιων χετ ει λημψεται ιακωβ γυναικα απο των θυγατερων της γης ταυτης ινα τι μοι ζην
