Binasbasan ni Isaac si Jacob
1Matandang matanda na si Isaac at halos hindi na makakita. Isang araw, tinawag niya ang panganay niyang anak na si Esau. Sinabi niya, “Anak.” Sumagot si Esau, “Narito po ako ama.” 2Sinabi ni Isaac, “Matanda na ako at hindi magtatagal ay mamamatay na ako. 3Mabuti pang kunin mo ang pana mo. Pumunta ka sa bukid at mangaso ka para sa akin. 4Pagkatapos, ipagluto mo ako ng paborito kong pagkain at dalhin mo agad ito para makakain ako. At babasbasan kita bago ako mamatay.”
5Nakikinig pala si Rebeka habang kausap ni Isaac si Esau. Kaya nang pumunta si Esau sa bukid para mangaso, 6kinausap ni Rebeka ang anak niyang si Jacob, “Narinig ko ang sinabi ng iyong ama kay Esau na 7mangaso at agad siyang ipagluto ng paborito niyang pagkain. Sapagkat bago raw siya mamatay babasbasan niya si Esau sa presensya ng Panginoon. 8Kaya anak, sundin mo ang iuutos ko sa iyo: 9Pumunta ka sa mga hayop natin at kumuha ka ng dalawang matabang batang kambing, at ipagluluto ko ang iyong ama ng paborito niyang pagkain. 10Pagkatapos, dalhin mo ito sa kanya para basbasan ka niya bago siya mamatay.”
11Pero sinabi ni Jacob sa kanyang ina, “Alam naman po ninyo na balbon si Esau at ako namaʼy hindi. 12Baka hawakan po ako ni ama at malaman niyang niloloko ko lang siya at sumpain po niya ako sa halip na basbasan.”
13Sumagot si Rebeka, “Anak, ako ang mananagot kung susumpain ka niya, basta gawin mo lang ang iniuutos ko sa iyo. Lumakad ka na at dalhan mo ako ng kambing.”
14Kaya kumuha si Jacob ng dalawang kambing at dinala niya sa kanyang ina, at niluto ni Rebeka ang paboritong pagkain ni Isaac. 15Pagkatapos, kinuha niya ang pinakamagandang damit ni Esau na nasa bahay nila at ipinasuot kay Jacob. 16Nilagyan niya ng balat ng kambing ang braso ni Jacob pati ang leeg nito na hindi balbon. 17Pagkatapos, ibinigay niya kay Jacob ang pagkain at ang tinapay na niluto niya.
18Dinala iyon ni Jacob sa kanyang ama at sinabi, “Ama!”
Sinabi ni Isaac, “Sino ka ba anak ko?” 19Sumagot si Jacob, “Ako po si Esau, ang panganay nʼyong anak. Nagawa ko na po ang iniutos ninyo sa akin. Bumangon po kayo at kumain ng pinangaso ko para mabasbasan nʼyo po ako.”
20Sinabi ni Isaac, “Anak, paano mo ito nahuli agad?” Sumagot si Jacob, “Tinulungan po ako ng Panginoon na inyong Dios.”
21Sinabi ni Isaac, “Lumapit ka sa akin anak ko para mahawakan kita kung ikaw nga talaga si Esau.”
22Kaya lumapit si Jacob, at hinawakan siya ng kanyang ama at sinabi, “Ang boses mo ay parang kay Jacob pero ang braso mo ay parang kay Esau.” 23Hindi nakilala ni Isaac si Jacob, dahil ang braso niya ay balbon din katulad ng kay Esau.
Bago niya basbasan si Jacob, 24nagtanong pa siya, “Ikaw ba talaga si Esau?”
Sumagot si Jacob, “Opo, ako nga po.”
25Sinabi ni Isaac, “Sige nga, dalhin mo rito ang niluto mo mula sa pinangaso mo, at pagkatapos kong kumain ay babasbasan kita.”
Kayaʼt binigyan siya ni Jacob ng makakain at maiinom, at kumain siya at uminom. 26Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Isaac sa kanya, “Lumapit ka sa akin, anak, at hagkan mo ako.”
27Lumapit si Jacob sa kanya at hinagkan ang kanyang ama. Nang maamoy ni Isaac ang damit nito, binasbasan niya agad si Jacob na nagsasabi,
“Ang amoy ng aking anak ay katulad ng amoy ng bukid na binasbasan ng Panginoon.
28Nawaʼy bigyan ka ng Dios ng lupaing masagana ang ani na palaging may hamog na biyaya niya,27:28 hamog na biyaya niya: sa literal, hamog ng langit. para maging sagana ang pagkain at katas ng inumin mo.
29Nawaʼy magpasakop at maglingkod sa iyo ang maraming tao.
Nawaʼy maghari ka sa mga kamag-anak mo at magpasakop sila sa iyo.
Nawaʼy ang sumusumpa sa iyo ay susumpain din,
at ang magpapala sa iyo ay pagpapalain din.”
Nagmakaawa si Esau na Basbasan din Siya
30Pagkatapos basbasan ni Isaac si Jacob, lumakad agad si Jacob. Kaaalis lang niya ay dumating naman agad si Esau mula sa pangangaso. 31Nagluto rin siya ng masarap na pagkain at dinala niya sa kanyang ama. Sinabi niya, “Ama, bumangon po kayo at kumain ng pinangaso ko para mabasbasan po ninyo ako.” 32Nagtanong si Isaac sa kanya, “Sino ka?” Sumagot siya, “Ako po si Esau, ang panganay nʼyong anak.” 33Nang marinig ito ni Isaac, nanginig siya at sinabi, “Sino kaya ang unang nangaso at nagdala rito sa akin ng pagkain? Katatapos ko lang kainin iyon nang dumating ka. Ibinigay ko na sa kanya ang aking basbas at hindi ko na iyon mababawi.”
34Pagkarinig nito ni Esau, umiyak siya nang labis. Sinabi niya, “Ama, basbasan nʼyo rin po ako!”
35Pero sumagot si Isaac, “Niloko ako ng nakababatang kapatid mo at nakuha na niya ang basbas ko na para sana sa iyo.”
36Sinabi ni Esau, “Pangalawang beses na ito na niloko niya ako. Kaya pala Jacob27:36 Jacob: Ang ibig sabihin, manloloko. ang pangalan niya. Kinuha na niya ang karapatan ko bilang panganay at ngayon, kinuha pa niya ang basbas na para sa akin.” Pagkatapos, nagtanong siya, “Ama, wala na po bang natitirang basbas na para sa akin?”
37Sumagot si Isaac, “Ginawa ko na siya na maging iyong amo at ginawa ko rin ang lahat ng kamag-anak niya na maging mga alipin niya. Ibinigay ko na sa kanya ang saganang pagkain at inumin. Kaya ano pa ang maibibigay ko para sa iyo anak?”
38Nagmakaawa pa si Esau sa kanyang ama, “Ama, wala na po bang kahit isang basbas? Basbasan nʼyo rin po ako.” At patuloy ang kanyang paghagulgol.
39Sinabi ni Isaac sa kanya,
“Hindi aani ng sagana ang lupaing titirhan mo,
at palagi itong walang hamog na biyaya ng Dios.
40Palagi kang makikipaglaban,
at maglilingkod ka sa iyong kapatid.
Pero kung lalaban ka sa kanya,
makakalaya ka sa kanyang kapangyarihan.”
41Kinapootan ni Esau si Jacob dahil sa basbas na ibinigay ng kanyang ama kay Jacob. Sinabi ni Esau sa kanyang sarili, “Malapit nang mamatay si ama; kapag namatay na siya, papatayin ko si Jacob.”
42Pero nabalitaan ni Rebeka ang balak ni Esau, kaya ipinatawag niya si Jacob at sinabi, “Ang kuya mong si Esau ay balak kang patayin para mawala ang galit niya sa iyo. 43Kaya makinig ka sa sasabihin ko: Tumakas ka at pumunta sa Haran, doon sa kapatid kong si Laban. 44Doon ka muna hanggang mawala ang galit ng iyong kuya, 45at makalimutan na niya ang iyong ginawa sa kanya. Ipapasundo na lang kita roon kapag hindi na siya galit sa iyo. Hindi ko hahayaang mawala kayong dalawa sa akin, baka isang araw magpatayan kayo.”
Pinapunta ni Isaac si Jacob kay Laban
46Ngayon, sinabi ni Rebeka kay Isaac, “Nagsasawa na ako sa buhay ko dahil sa mga asawang Heteo ni Esau. Kung ang magiging asawa ni Jacob ay taga-rito rin lang na isang babaeng Heteo mabuti pang mamatay na lang ako.”
1And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. 2And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: 3Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;27.3 take: Heb. hunt 4And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. 5And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6¶ And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, 7Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death. 8Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. 9Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth: 10And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. 11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: 12My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 13And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. 14And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. 15And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:27.15 goodly: Heb. desirable 16And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: 17And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18¶ And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? 19And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. 20And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.27.20 to me: Heb. before me 21And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. 22And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. 23And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him. 24And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. 25And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank. 26And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 27And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed: 28Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: 29Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
30¶ And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me. 32And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. 33And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.27.33 trembled…: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly27.33 taken: Heb. hunted 34And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. 35And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. 36And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?27.36 Jacob: that is, A supplanter 37And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?27.37 sustained: or, supported 38And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 39And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;27.39 the fatness: or, of the fatness 40And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
41¶ And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. 42And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. 43Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; 44And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away; 45Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day? 46And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
