Genesis 27

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
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 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 His father said to him: “You see that I am old, and I do not know the day of my death.	2 Και εκεινος ειπεν, Ιδου, τωρα, εγω εγηρασα? δεν γνωριζω την ημεραν του θανατου μου?
3 Take your weapons, the quiver and the bow, and go out. And when you have taken something 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 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 και καμε μοι εδεσματα καθως αγαπω, και φερε μοι να φαγω, δια να σε ευλογηση η ψυχη μου πριν αποθανω.
5 And when Rebekah had heard this, and he had gone out into the field to fulfill his father’s order,	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 your father speaking with your brother Esau, 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 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 Φερε μοι κυνηγιον και καμε μοι εδεσματα, δια να φαγω, και να σε ευλογησω ενωπιον του Κυριου πριν αποθανω.
8 Therefore, now my son, agree to my counsel,	8 Τωρα λοιπον, υιε μου, ακουσον την φωνην μου εις οσα εγω σοι παραγγελλω?
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 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 Then, when you have brought these in and he has eaten, he may bless you before he dies.”	10 και θελεις φερει αυτα προς τον πατερα σου να φαγη, δια σε ευλογηση πριν αποθανη.
11 He answered her: “You know that my brother Esau 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 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 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: “Let this curse be upon me, my son. Yet listen to my voice, and go directly to bring what I 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 out, and he brought, and he gave to his mother. She prepared the meats, just 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 clothed him with the very fine 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 she encircled his hands with little pelts from the young goats, and she covered his bare neck.	16 και με τα δερματα των εριφιων εσκεπασε τας χειρας αυτου, και τα γυμνα του τραχηλου αυτου?
17 And she gave him the small meal, and she handed him the bread that she had baked.	17 και εδωκεν εις τας χειρας Ιακωβ του υιου αυτης τα εδεσματα και τον αρτον, τα οποια ητοιμασε.
18 When he had carried these in, he said, “My father?” And he answered, “I’m listening. Who are you, 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, your firstborn. I have done as you instructed me. Arise; sit and eat from my hunting, so that your 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 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 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 here, so that I may touch you, my son, and may prove whether you are 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 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 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 And he did not recognize him, because his hairy hands made him seem similar to the elder one. Therefore, blessing him,	23 Και δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον, διοτι αι χειρες αυτου ησαν ως αι χειρες Ησαυ αδελφου αυτου, δασυτριχοι και ευλογησεν αυτον.
24 he said, “Are you my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”	24 Και ειπε, Συ εισαι αυτος ο υιος μου Ησαυ; Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω.
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 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 to 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 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 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 May God give to you, from the dew of heaven and from the fatness of the earth, an abundance of grain 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 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 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 Scarcely had Isaac completed his words, and Jacob departed, when Esau arrived.	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 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 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, “But who are you?” And he answered, “I am your 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 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 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 outcry. And, being confounded, he said, “But 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, “Your twin came deceitfully, and he received your blessing.”	35 Ο δε ειπεν, Ηλθεν ο αδελφος σου μετα δολου, και ελαβε την ευλογιαν σου.
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 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 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 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 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 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 was moved, and he said to him: “In the fatness 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Therefore, now my son, listen to my voice. Rise up and flee to my brother Laban, in Haran.	43 Τωρα λοιπον, τεκνον μου, ακουσον την φωνην μου? και σηκωθεις, φυγε προς Λαβαν τον αδελφον μου εις Χαρραν?
44 And you will dwell with him for a few days, until the fury of your brother subsides,	44 και κατοικησον μετ' αυτου ημερας τινας, εωσου παρελθη ο θυμος του αδελφου σου?
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 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 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 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;
