¹

And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I am here.

¹

Бы́сть же, повнегда̀ состарѣ́тисѧ і҆саа́кови, и҆ притꙋпи́шасѧ ѻ҆́чи є҆гѡ̀ є҆́же ви́дѣти: и҆ призва̀ и҆са́ѵа сы́на своего̀ старѣ́йшаго, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сы́не мо́й. И҆ речѐ: сѐ, а҆́зъ.

²

And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.

²

И҆ речѐ і҆саа́къ: сѐ, состарѣ́хсѧ, и҆ не вѣ́мъ днѐ сконча́нїѧ моегѡ̀:

³

Now then take thy weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,

³

нн҃ѣ оу҆̀бо возмѝ ѻ҆рꙋ́дїе твоѐ, тꙋ́лъ же и҆ лꙋ́къ, и҆ и҆зы́ди на по́ле, и҆ оу҆лови́ ми ло́въ:

⁴

and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee, before I die.

⁴

и҆ сотвори́ ми снѣ̑ди, ꙗ҆́коже люблю̀ а҆́зъ: и҆ принеси́ ми, да ꙗ҆́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бл҃гослови́тъ тѧ̀ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀, пре́жде да́же не оу҆мрꙋ̀.

⁵

And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.

⁵

Реве́кка же слы́ша глаго́люща і҆саа́ка ко и҆са́ѵꙋ сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀. И҆зы́де же и҆са́ѵъ на по́ле оу҆лови́ти ло́въ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀.

⁶

And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,

⁶

Реве́кка же речѐ ко і҆а́кѡвꙋ сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀ ме́ншемꙋ: сѐ, а҆́зъ слы́шахъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоего̀ бесѣ́дꙋюща ко и҆са́ѵꙋ бра́тꙋ твоемꙋ̀, глаго́люща:

⁷

Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.

⁷

принеси́ ми ло́въ, и҆ сотвори́ ми снѣ̑ди, да ꙗ҆ды́й бл҃гословлю́ тѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, пре́жде не́же оу҆мре́ти мѝ:

⁸

Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.

⁸

нн҃ѣ оу҆̀бо, сы́не мо́й, послꙋ́шай менѐ, ꙗ҆́коже а҆́зъ заповѣ́даю тѝ:

⁹

And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for thy father, as he likes.

⁹

и҆ ше́дъ во ѻ҆́вцы, поимѝ мнѣ̀ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ два̀ кѡ́злища мѧ̑гка и҆ дѡбра̀, и҆ сотворю̀ ѧ҆̀ снѣ̑ди ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́коже лю́битъ:

¹⁰

And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.

¹⁰

и҆ внесе́ши ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́сти, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бл҃гослови́тъ тѧ̀ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й, пре́жде да́же не оу҆́мретъ.

¹¹

And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.

¹¹

Рече́ же і҆а́кѡвъ къ реве́кцѣ ма́тери свое́й: и҆са́ѵъ бра́тъ мо́й є҆́сть мꙋ́жъ косма́тъ, а҆́зъ же мꙋ́жъ гла́дкїй:

¹²

Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.

¹²

да не ка́кѡ ѡ҆сѧ́жетъ мѧ̀ ѻ҆те́цъ мо́й, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ пред̾ ни́мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ презира́ѧй, и҆ наведꙋ̀ на себѐ клѧ́твꙋ, а҆ не бл҃гослове́нїе.

¹³

And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring them me.

¹³

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ ма́ти: на мнѣ̀ клѧ́тва твоѧ̀, ча́до: то́чїю послꙋ́шай гла́са моегѡ̀, и҆ ше́дъ принеси́ ми.

¹⁴

So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked them.

¹⁴

Ше́дъ же взѧ̀ и҆ принесѐ ма́тери, и҆ сотворѝ ма́ти є҆гѡ̀ снѣ̑ди, ꙗ҆́коже люблѧ́ше ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀.

¹⁵

And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.

¹⁵

И҆ взе́мши реве́кка ѻ҆де́ждꙋ и҆са́ѵа сы́на своегѡ̀ старѣ́йшагѡ до́брꙋю, ꙗ҆́же бы́сть оу҆ неѧ̀ въ домꙋ̀, ѡ҆блечѐ ѻ҆́ною і҆а́кѡва сы́на своего̀ ме́ншаго,

¹⁶

And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.

¹⁶

и҆ ко́жицами козлѧ́чими ѡ҆бложѝ мы̑шцы є҆гѡ̀, и҆ наго́е вы́и є҆гѡ̀:

¹⁷

And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.

¹⁷

и҆ дадѐ снѣ̑ди и҆ хлѣ́бы, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ, въ рꙋ́цѣ і҆а́кѡвꙋ сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀.

¹⁸

And he brought them to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I am here; who art thou, son?

¹⁸

И҆ внесѐ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ: ѻ҆́тче. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: сѐ, а҆́зъ: кто̀ є҆сѝ ты̀, ча́до;

¹⁹

And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy first-born, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

¹⁹

И҆ речѐ і҆а́кѡвъ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀: а҆́зъ и҆са́ѵъ пе́рвенецъ тво́й, сотвори́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже ре́клъ мѝ є҆сѝ: воста́въ сѧ́ди и҆ ꙗ҆́ждь ѿ ло́ва моегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бл҃гослови́тъ мѧ̀ дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀.

²⁰

And Isaac said to his son, What is this which thou hast quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord thy God presented before me.

²⁰

Рече́ же і҆саа́къ сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀: что̀ сїѐ, є҆́же ско́рѡ ѡ҆брѣ́лъ є҆сѝ, ѽ ча́до; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: є҆́же дадѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й предо мно́ю.

²¹

And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw nigh to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.

²¹

Рече́ же і҆саа́къ і҆а́кѡвꙋ: прибли́жисѧ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ ѡ҆сѧжꙋ́ тѧ, ча́до, а҆́ще ты̀ є҆сѝ сы́нъ мо́й и҆са́ѵъ, и҆лѝ нѝ.

²²

And Jacob drew nigh to his father Isaac, and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

²²

Прибли́жисѧ же і҆а́кѡвъ ко і҆саа́кꙋ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀, и҆ ѡ҆сѧза̀ є҆го̀ и҆ речѐ: гла́съ оу҆́бѡ гла́съ і҆а́кѡвль, рꙋ́цѣ же рꙋ́цѣ и҆са́ѵѡвѣ.

²³

And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,

²³

И҆ не позна̀ є҆гѡ̀: бѣ́стѣ бо рꙋ́цѣ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ рꙋ́цѣ и҆са́ѵа бра́та є҆гѡ̀ косма̑тѣ. И҆ бл҃гословѝ є҆го̀

²⁴

and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I am.

²⁴

и҆ речѐ: ты́ ли є҆сѝ сы́нъ мо́й и҆са́ѵъ; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: а҆́зъ.

²⁵

And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of thy venison, son, that my soul may bless thee; and he brought it near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.

²⁵

И҆ речѐ: принеси́ ми, и҆ ꙗ҆́мъ ѿ ло́ва твоегѡ̀, ча́до, да бл҃гослови́тъ тѧ̀ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀. И҆ принесѐ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ꙗ҆дѐ, и҆ принесѐ є҆мꙋ̀ вїно̀, и҆ пѝ.

²⁶

And Isaac his father said to him, Draw nigh to me, and kiss me, son.

²⁶

И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆саа́къ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀: прибли́жисѧ ко мнѣ̀ и҆ ѡ҆блобыза́й мѧ̀, ча́до.

²⁷

And he drew nigh and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.

²⁷

И҆ прибли́живсѧ лобыза̀ є҆го̀: и҆ ѡ҆бонѧ̀ воню̀ ри́зъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ бл҃гословѝ є҆го̀ и҆ речѐ: сѐ, вонѧ̀ сы́на моегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ вонѧ̀ ни́вы и҆спо́лнены, ю҆́же блгⷭ҇вѝ гдⷭ҇ь:

²⁸

And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.

²⁸

и҆ да да́стъ тебѣ̀ бг҃ъ ѿ росы̀ небе́сныѧ и҆ ѿ тꙋ́ка землѝ, и҆ мно́жество пшени́цы и҆ вїна̀:

²⁹

And let nations serve thee, and princes bow down to thee, and be thou lord of thy brother, and the sons of thy father shall do thee reverence; accursed is he that curses thee, and blessed is he that blesses thee.

²⁹

и҆ да порабо́таютъ тебѣ̀ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆ да покло́нѧтсѧ тебѣ̀ кнѧ̑зи, и҆ бꙋ́ди господи́нъ бра́тꙋ твоемꙋ̀, и҆ покло́нѧтсѧ тебѣ̀ сы́нове ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀: проклина́ѧй тѧ̀ про́клѧтъ, бл҃гословлѧ́ѧй же тѧ̀ бл҃гослове́нъ.

³⁰

And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

³⁰

И҆ бы́сть по є҆́же преста́ти і҆саа́кꙋ бл҃гословлѧ́ющꙋ і҆а́кѡва сы́на своего̀: и҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ и҆зы́де і҆а́кѡвъ ѿ лица̀ і҆саа́ка ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀, и҆ и҆са́ѵъ бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ прїи́де съ лови́твы.

³¹

And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.

³¹

Сотвори́ же и҆ то́й снѣ̑ди и҆ принесѐ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀: да воста́нетъ ѻ҆те́цъ мо́й, и҆ да ꙗ҆́стъ ѿ ло́ва сы́на своегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бл҃гослови́тъ мѧ̀ дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀.

³²

And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy first-born son Esau.

³²

И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆саа́къ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀: кто̀ є҆сѝ ты̀; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь сы́нъ тво́й пе́рвенецъ и҆са́ѵъ.

³³

And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.

³³

Оу҆жасе́сѧ же і҆саа́къ оу҆́жасомъ ве́лїимъ ѕѣлѡ̀ и҆ речѐ: кто̀ оу҆̀бо оу҆лови́вый мнѣ̀ ло́въ и҆ принесы́й мѝ; и҆ ꙗ҆до́хъ ѿ всѣ́хъ, пре́жде не́же прїитѝ тебѣ̀, и҆ бл҃гослови́хъ є҆го̀, и҆ бл҃гослове́нъ бꙋ́детъ.

³⁴

And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray thee, me also, father.

³⁴

Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́ша и҆са́ѵъ глаго́лы ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ і҆саа́ка, возопѝ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ и҆ го́рькимъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ речѐ: бл҃гословѝ оу҆́бѡ и҆ менѐ, ѻ҆́тче.

³⁵

And he said to him, Thy brother has come with subtlety, and taken thy blessing.

³⁵

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀: прише́дъ бра́тъ тво́й съ ле́стїю, взѧ̀ бл҃гослове́нїе твоѐ.

³⁶

And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for lo! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast thou not left a blessing for me, father?

³⁶

И҆ речѐ (и҆са́ѵъ): пра́веднѡ нарече́сѧ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ: запѧ́ бо мѧ̀ сѐ оу҆жѐ втори́цею, и҆ пе́рвенство моѐ взѧ̀, и҆ нн҃ѣ взѧ̀ бл҃гослове́нїе моѐ. И҆ речѐ и҆са́ѵъ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀: не ѡ҆ста́вилъ ли є҆сѝ (и҆) мнѣ̀ бл҃гослове́нїѧ, ѻ҆́тче;

³⁷

And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for thee, son?

³⁷

Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆саа́къ, речѐ и҆са́ѵꙋ: а҆́ще господи́на є҆го̀ сотвори́хъ тебѣ̀, и҆ всю̀ бра́тїю є҆гѡ̀ сотвори́хъ рабы̑ є҆мꙋ̀, пшени́цею и҆ вїно́мъ оу҆тверди́хъ є҆го̀: тебѣ́ же что̀ сотворю̀, ча́до;

³⁸

And Esau said to his father, Hast thou only one blessing, father? Bless, I pray thee, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.

³⁸

Рече́ же и҆са́ѵъ ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀: є҆да̀ є҆ди́но є҆́сть бл҃гослове́нїе оу҆ тебє̀, ѻ҆́тче; бл҃гословѝ оу҆́бѡ и҆ менѐ, ѻ҆́тче. Оу҆мили́вшꙋсѧ же і҆саа́кꙋ, возопѝ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ и҆са́ѵъ и҆ воспла́касѧ.

³⁹

And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.

³⁹

Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆саа́къ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сѐ, ѿ тꙋ́ка землѝ бꙋ́детъ вселе́нїе твоѐ, и҆ ѿ росы̀ небе́сныѧ свы́ше:

⁴⁰

And thou shalt live by thy sword, and shalt serve thy brother; and there shall be a time when thou shalt break and loosen his yoke from off thy neck.

⁴⁰

и҆ мече́мъ твои́мъ жи́ти бꙋ́деши, и҆ бра́тꙋ твоемꙋ̀ порабо́таеши: бꙋ́детъ же (вре́мѧ) є҆гда̀ низложи́ши и҆ ѿрѣши́ши ꙗ҆ре́мъ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ вы́и твоеѧ̀.

⁴¹

And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw nigh, that I may slay my brother Jacob.

⁴¹

И҆ враждова́ше и҆са́ѵъ на і҆а́кѡва ѡ҆ бл҃гослове́нїи, и҆́мже бл҃гословѝ є҆го̀ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀. Рече́ же и҆са́ѵъ во оу҆мѣ̀ свое́мъ: да прибли́жатсѧ дні́е пла́ча ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀, да бы́хъ оу҆би́лъ і҆а́кѡва бра́та моего̀.

⁴²

And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau thy brother threatens thee to kill thee.

⁴²

Возвѣщє́на же бы́ша реве́кцѣ словеса̀ и҆са́ѵа сы́на є҆ѧ̀ старѣ́йшагѡ: и҆ посла́вши призва̀ і҆а́кѡва сы́на своего̀ ю҆нѣ́йшаго и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сѐ, и҆са́ѵъ бра́тъ тво́й грози́тъ тебѣ̀ оу҆би́ти тѧ̀:

⁴³

Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.

⁴³

нн҃ѣ оу҆̀бо, ча́до, послꙋ́шай моегѡ̀ гла́са, и҆ воста́въ бѣжѝ въ месопота́мїю къ лава́нꙋ бра́тꙋ моемꙋ̀ въ харра́нъ,

⁴⁴

And dwell with him certain days, until thy brother's anger

⁴⁴

и҆ поживѝ съ ни́мъ дни̑ нѣ̑кїѧ, до́ндеже ѿврати́тсѧ ꙗ҆́рость и҆ гнѣ́въ бра́та твоегѡ̀ ѿ тебє̀,

⁴⁵

and rage depart from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; and I will send and fetch thee thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.

⁴⁵

и҆ забꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆̀же є҆мꙋ̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ посла́вши приведꙋ̀ тѧ̀ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, да не когда̀ безча́дна бꙋ́дꙋ ѿ ѻ҆бои́хъ ва́съ въ де́нь є҆ди́нъ.

⁴⁶

And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, wherefore should I live?

⁴⁶

Рече́ же реве́кка ко і҆саа́кꙋ: стꙋжи́хъ сѝ жи́знїю мое́ю дще́рей ра́ди сынѡ́въ хетте́йскихъ: а҆́ще по́йметъ і҆а́кѡвъ женꙋ̀ ѿ дще́рей землѝ сеѧ̀, то̀ вскꙋ́ю мѝ жи́ти;
