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	1 When Isaac had grown old, and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he summoned hiselder son Esau. 'Son!' he said, and Esau replied, 'Here I am.'
2 και ειπεν ιδου γεγηρακα και ου γινωσκω την ημεραν της τελευτης μου	2 He then said, 'Look, I am old and do not know when I may die.
3 νυν ουν λαβε το σκευος σου την τε φαρετραν και το τοξον και εξελθε εις το πεδιον και θηρευσον μοι θηραν	3 Now take your weapons, your quiver and bow; go out into the country and hunt me some game.
4 και ποιησον μοι εδεσματα ως φιλω εγω και ενεγκε μοι ινα φαγω οπως ευλογηση σε η ψυχη μου πριν αποθανειν με	4 Make me the kind of appetising dish I like and bring it to me to eat and I shal give you my specialblessing before I die.'
5 ρεβεκκα δε ηκουσεν λαλουντος ισαακ προς ησαυ τον υιον αυτου επορευθη δε ησαυ εις το πεδιον θηρευσαι θηραν τω πατρι αυτου	5 Rebekah was listening while Isaac was talking to his son Esau. So when Esau went into the country tohunt game for his father,
6 ρεβεκκα δε ειπεν προς ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον ελασσω ιδε εγω ηκουσα του πατρος σου λαλουντος προς ησαυ τον αδελφον σου λεγοντος	6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, 'I have just heard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7 ενεγκον μοι θηραν και ποιησον μοι εδεσματα και φαγων ευλογησω σε εναντιον κυριου προ του αποθανειν με	7 "Bring me some game and make an appetising dish for me to eat and then I shal bless you inYahweh's presence before I die."
8 νυν ουν υιε ακουσον μου καθα εγω σοι εντελλομαι	8 Now, son, listen to me and do as I tel you.
9 και πορευθεις εις τα προβατα λαβε μοι εκειθεν δυο εριφους απαλους και καλους και ποιησω αυτους εδεσματα τω πατρι σου ως φιλει	9 Go to the flock and bring me back two good kids, so that I can make the kind of special dish yourfather likes.
10 και εισοισεις τω πατρι σου και φαγεται οπως ευλογηση σε ο πατηρ σου προ του αποθανειν αυτον	10 Then take it to your father for him to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.'
11 ειπεν δε ιακωβ προς ρεβεκκαν την μητερα αυτου εστιν ησαυ ο αδελφος μου ανηρ δασυς εγω δε ανηρ λειος	11 Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, 'Look, my brother Esau is hairy, while I am smooth-skinned.
12 μηποτε ψηλαφηση με ο πατηρ μου και εσομαι εναντιον αυτου ως καταφρονων και επαξω επ' εμαυτον καταραν και ουκ ευλογιαν	12 If my father happens to touch me, he wil see I am cheating him, and I shall bring a curse down onmyself instead of a blessing.'
13 ειπεν δε αυτω η μητηρ επ' εμε η καταρα σου τεκνον μονον υπακουσον της φωνης μου και πορευθεις ενεγκε μοι	13 But his mother replied, 'On me be the curse, my son! Just listen to me; go and fetch me the kids.'
14 πορευθεις δε ελαβεν και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι και εποιησεν η μητηρ αυτου εδεσματα καθα εφιλει ο πατηρ αυτου	14 So he went to fetch them and brought them to his mother, and she made the kind of special dish hisfather liked.
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	15 Rebekah took her elder son Esau's best clothes, which she had at home, and dressed her youngerson Jacob in them,
16 και τα δερματα των εριφων περιεθηκεν επι τους βραχιονας αυτου και επι τα γυμνα του τραχηλου αυτου	16 covering his arms and the smooth part of his neck with the skins of the kids.
17 και εδωκεν τα εδεσματα και τους αρτους ους εποιησεν εις τας χειρας ιακωβ του υιου αυτης	17 She then handed the special dish and the bread she had made to her son Jacob.
18 και εισηνεγκεν τω πατρι αυτου ειπεν δε πατερ ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω τις ει συ τεκνον	18 He went to his father and said, 'Father!' 'Yes?' he replied. 'Which of my sons are you?'
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	19 Jacob said to his father, 'I am Esau your first-born; I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eatsome of the game I have brought and then give me your soul's blessing.'
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	20 Isaac said to his son, 'Son, how did you succeed so quickly?' He replied, 'Because Yahweh your Godmade things go well for me.'
21 ειπεν δε ισαακ τω ιακωβ εγγισον μοι και ψηλαφησω σε τεκνον ει συ ει ο υιος μου ησαυ η ου	21 Isaac said to Jacob, 'Come closer, son, so that I can feel you and be sure whether you real y are myson Esau or not.'
22 ηγγισεν δε ιακωβ προς ισαακ τον πατερα αυτου και εψηλαφησεν αυτον και ειπεν η μεν φωνη φωνη ιακωβ αι δε χειρες χειρες ησαυ	22 Jacob went closer to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, 'The voice is Jacob's voice but the armsare the arms of Esau!'
23 και ουκ επεγνω αυτον ησαν γαρ αι χειρες αυτου ως αι χειρες ησαυ του αδελφου αυτου δασειαι και ηυλογησεν αυτον	23 He did not recognise him since his arms were hairy like his brother Esau's, and so he blessed him.
24 και ειπεν συ ει ο υιος μου ησαυ ο δε ειπεν εγω	24 He said, 'Are you real y my son Esau?' And he replied, 'I am.'
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	25 Isaac said, 'Serve it to me, so that I can eat my son's game and give you my special blessing.' Heserved it to him and he ate; he offered him wine, and he drank.
26 και ειπεν αυτω ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου εγγισον μοι και φιλησον με τεκνον	26 His father Isaac said to him, 'Come closer, and kiss me, son.'
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	27 He went closer and kissed his father, who sniffed the smel of his clothes. Then he blessed him,saying: Ah, the smel of my son is like the smel of a fertile field which Yahweh has blessed.
28 και δωη σοι ο θεος απο της δροσου του ουρανου και απο της πιοτητος της γης και πληθος σιτου και οινου	28 May God give you dew from heaven, and the richness of the earth, abundance of grain and wine!
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	29 Let peoples serve you and nations bow low before you! Be master of your brothers; let your mother'sother sons bow low before you! Accursed be whoever curses you and blessed be whoever blesses you!
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	30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and just as Jacob was leaving his father Isaac, hisbrother Esau returned from hunting.
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	31 He too made an appetising dish and brought it to his father, 'Father, please eat some of your son'sgame and then give me your special blessing.'
32 και ειπεν αυτω ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου τις ει συ ο δε ειπεν εγω ειμι ο υιος σου ο πρωτοτοκος ησαυ	32 His father Isaac asked, 'Who are you?' 'I am your first-born son, Esau,' he replied.
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	33 At this Isaac was seized with a violent trembling and said, 'Who was it, then, that went hunting andbrought me the game? I finished eating it just before you came; I blessed him, and now blessed he wil remain!'
34 εγενετο δε ηνικα ηκουσεν ησαυ τα ρηματα ισαακ του πατρος αυτου ανεβοησεν φωνην μεγαλην και πικραν σφοδρα και ειπεν ευλογησον δη καμε πατερ	34 On hearing his father's words, Esau cried out loudly and bitterly and said to his father, 'Father, blessme too!'
35 ειπεν δε αυτω ελθων ο αδελφος σου μετα δολου ελαβεν την ευλογιαν σου	35 But he replied, 'Your brother came by fraud and took your 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	36 Esau said, 'His name should be Jacob right enough, for he has now supplanted me twice. First hetook my birthright, and look, now he has gone and taken my blessing! But', he added, 'have you not kept ablessing for me?'
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	37 Isaac replied to Esau, 'I have already made him your master; I have given him al his brothers asservants, I have given him grain and wine to sustain him. So what can I do for you, son?'
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	38 Esau said to his father, 'Can you bless only once, father? Father, bless me too.' Isaac remainedsilent, and Esau began to weep aloud.
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	39 Then his father Isaac spoke again and said: 'Far from the richness of the earth and the dew ofheaven above, your home will be.
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	40 By your sword you wil live, and your brother wil you serve. But when you win your freedom, you wilshake his yoke off your neck.'
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	41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him, and Esau said to himself, 'Thetime to mourn for my father wil soon be here. Then I shal kil my brother Jacob.'
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	42 When the words of Esau, her elder son, were repeated to Rebekah, she sent for her younger sonJacob and said to him, 'Look, your brother Esau means to take revenge and kil you.
43 νυν ουν τεκνον ακουσον μου της φωνης και αναστας αποδραθι εις την μεσοποταμιαν προς λαβαν τον αδελφον μου εις χαρραν	43 Now, son, listen to me; go at once and take refuge with my brother Laban in Haran.
44 και οικησον μετ' αυτου ημερας τινας εως του αποστρεψαι τον θυμον	44 Stay with him a while, until your brother's fury cools,
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	45 until your brother's anger is diverted from you and he forgets what you have done to him. Then Ishall send someone to bring you back. I do not want to lose you both on one day!'
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	46 Rebekah said to Isaac, 'The Hittite women sicken me to death. If Jacob were to marry a Hittitewoman like these, one of the local women, what would there be left in life for me?'
