WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Кад Исак остаре и очи му потамнеше, те не видеше, дозва Исава старијег сина свог, и рече му: Сине! А он одговори: Ево ме.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que cuando hubo Isaac envejecido, y sus ojos se ofuscaron quedando sin vista, llamó á Esaú, su hijo el mayor, y díjole: Mi hijo. Y él respondió: Heme aquí.
1 When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 Тада рече: Ево остарео сам, не знам кад ћу умрети;
2 Y él dijo: He aquí ya soy viejo, no sé el día de mi muerte:
2 He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.
3 узми оружје своје, тул и лук, и изађи у планину, те ми улови лов;
3 Toma, pues, ahora tus armas, tu aljaba y tu arco, y sal al campo, y cógeme caza;
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
4 и зготови ми јело по мојој вољи, и донеси ми да једем, па да те благослови душа моја док нисам умро.
4 Y hazme un guisado, como yo gusto, y tráeme[lo], y comeré; para que te bendiga mi alma antes que muera.
4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 А Ревека чу шта Исак рече сину свом Исаву. И Исав отиде у планину да улови лов и донесе.
5 Y Rebeca estaba oyendo, cuando hablaba Isaac á Esaú su hijo: y fuése Esaú al campo para coger la caza que había de traer.
5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 А Ревека рече Јакову, сину свом говорећи: Гле, чух оца твог где говори с Исавом, братом твојим и рече:
6 Entonces Rebeca habló á Jacob su hijo, diciendo: He aquí yo he oído á tu padre que hablaba con Esaú tu hermano, diciendo:
6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
7 Донеси ми лов, и зготови јело да једем, па да те благословим пред Господом док нисам умро.
7 Tráeme caza, y hazme un guisado, para que coma, y te bendiga delante de Jehová antes que yo muera.
7 ‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’
8 Него сада, сине, послушај ме шта ћу ти казати.
8 Ahora pues, hijo mío, obedece á mi voz en lo que te mando;
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9 Иди сада к стаду и донеси два добра јарета, да зготовим оцу твом јело од њих, како радо једе.
9 Ve ahora al ganado, y tráeme de allí dos buenos cabritos de las cabras, y haré de ellos viandas para tu padre, como él gusta;
9 Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
10 Па ћеш унети оцу да једе и да те благослови док није умро.
10 Y tú las llevarás á tu padre, y comerá, para que te bendiga antes de su muerte.
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11 А Јаков рече Ревеци матери својој: Али је Исав брат мој рутав, а ја сам гладак;
11 Y Jacob dijo á Rebeca su madre: He aquí, Esaú mi hermano es hombre velloso, y yo lampiño:
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 може ме опипати отац, па ће се осетити да сам га хтео преварити, те ћу навући на се проклетство место благослова.
12 Quizá me tentará mi padre, y me tendrá por burlador, y traeré sobre mí maldición y no bendición.
12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”
13 А мати му рече: Нека проклетство твоје, сине падне на мене; само ме послушај, и иди и донеси ми.
13 Y su madre respondió: Hijo mío, sobre mí tu maldición: solamente obedece á mi voz, y ve y tráemelos.
13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
14 Тада отишавши узе и донесе матери својој; а мати његова зготови јело како јеђаше радо отац његов.
14 Entonces él fué, y tomó, y trájolos á su madre: y su madre hizo guisados, como su padre gustaba.
14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
15 Па онда узе Ревека најлепше хаљине старијег сина свог, које беху у ње код куће, и обуче Јакова млађег сина свог.
15 Y tomó Rebeca los vestidos de Esaú su hijo mayor, los preciosos, que ella tenía en casa, y vistió á Jacob su hijo menor:
15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16 И јарећим кожицама обложи му руке и врат где беше гладак.
16 E hízole vestir sobre sus manos, y sobre la cerviz donde no tenía vello, las pieles de los cabritos de las cabras;
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 И даде Јакову сину свом у руке јело и хлеб што зготови.
17 Y entregó los guisados y el pan que había aderezado, en mano de Jacob su hijo.
17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 А он уђе к оцу свом и рече: Оче. А он одговори: Ево ме; који си ти, сине?
18 Y él fué á su padre, y dijo: Padre mío: y él respondió: Heme aquí, ¿quién eres, hijo mío?
18 He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
19 И Јаков рече оцу свом: Ја, Исав твој првенац; учинио сам како си ми рекао; дигни се, посади се да једеш лов мој, па да ме благослови душа твоја.
19 Y Jacob dijo á su padre: Yo soy Esaú tu primogénito; he hecho como me dijiste: levántate ahora, y siéntate, y come de mi caza, para que me bendiga tu alma.
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”
20 А Исак рече сину свом: Кад брже нађе, сине? А он рече: Господ Бог твој даде, те изађе преда ме.
20 Entonces Isaac dijo á su hijo: ¿Cómo es que la hallaste tan presto, hijo mío? Y él respondió: Porque Jehová tu Dios hizo que se encontrase delante de mí.
20 Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Yahweh your God gave me success.”
21 Тада рече Исак Јакову: Ходи ближе, сине да те опипам јеси ли син мој Исав или не.
21 E Isaac dijo á Jacob: Acércate ahora, y te palparé, hijo mío, por si eres mi hijo Esaú, ó no.
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
22 И приступи Јаков к Исаку оцу свом, а он га опипа, па рече: Глас је Јаковљев, али руке су Исавове.
22 Y llegóse Jacob á su padre Isaac; y él le palpó, y dijo: La voz es la voz de Jacob, mas las manos, las manos de Esaú.
22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 И не позна га, јер му руке беху као у Исава брата његовог рутаве: Зато га благослови;
23 Y no le conoció, porque sus manos eran vellosas como las manos de Esaú: y le bendijo.
23 He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 и рече му: Јеси ли ти син мој Исав? А он одговори: Ја сам.
24 Y dijo: ¿Eres tú mi hijo Esaú? Y él respondió: Yo soy.
24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
25 Тада рече: А ти дај, сине, да једем лов твој, па да те благослови душа моја. И даде му, те једе; па му донесе и вино те пи.
25 Y dijo: Acércamela, y comeré de la caza de mi hijo, para que te bendiga mi alma; y él se [la] acercó, y comió: trájole también vino, y bebió.
25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Потом Исак, отац његов рече му: Ходи сине, целивај ме.
26 Y díjole Isaac su padre: Acércate ahora, y bésame, hijo mío.
26 His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
27 И он приступи и целива га; а Исак осети мирис од хаљина његових, и благослови га говорећи: Гле, мирис сина мог као мирис од поља које благослови Господ.
27 Y él se llegó, y le besó; y olió Isaac el olor de sus vestidos, y le bendijo, y dijo: Mira, el olor de mi hijo como el olor del campo que Jehová ha bendecido:
27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.
28 Бог ти дао росе небеске, и добре земље и пшенице и вина изобила!
28 Dios, pues, te dé del rocío del cielo, y de las grosuras de la tierra, y abundancia de trigo y de mosto.
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 Народи ти служили и племена ти се клањала! Био господар браћи својој и клањали ти се синови матере твоје! Проклет био који тебе успроклиње, а благословен који тебе узблагосиља!
29 Sírvante pueblos, y naciones se inclinen á ti: sé señor de tus hermanos, e inclínense á ti los hijos de tu madre: malditos los que te maldijeren, y benditos los que te bendijeren.
29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
30 А кад Исак благослови Јакова, и Јаков отиде испред Исака оца свог, у тај час дође Исав брат његов из лова.
30 Y aconteció, luego que hubo Isaac acabado de bendecir á Jacob, y apenas había salido Jacob de delante de Isaac su padre, que Esaú su hermano vino de su caza.
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 Па зготови и он јело и унесе оцу свом, и рече му: Устани, оче, да једеш шта ти је син уловио, па да ме благослови душа твоја.
31 E hizo él también guisados, y trajo á su padre, y díjole: Levántese mi padre, y coma de la caza de su hijo, para que me bendiga tu alma.
31 He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”
32 А Исак отац његов рече му: Ко си ти? А он рече: Ја, син твој, првенац твој Исав.
32 Entonces Isaac su padre le dijo: ¿Quién eres tú? Y él dijo: Yo soy tu hijo, tu primogénito, Esaú.
32 Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 Тада се препаде Исак, и рече: Ко? Да где је онај који улови и донесе ми лова, и од свега једох пре него ти дође, и благослових га? Он ће и остати благословен.
33 Y estremecióse Isaac con grande estremecimiento, y dijo: ¿Quién es el que vino aquí, que cogió caza, y me trajo, y comí de todo antes que vinieses? Yo le bendije, y será bendito.
33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
34 А кад чу Исав речи оца свог, врисну гласно и ожалости се веома, и рече оцу свом: Благослови и мене, оче.
34 Como Esaú oyó las palabras de su padre, clamó con una muy grande y muy amarga exclamación, y le dijo: Bendíceme también á mí, padre mío.
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
35 А он му рече: Дође брат твој с преваром, и однесе твој благослов.
35 Y él dijo: Vino tu hermano con engaño, y tomó tu bendición.
35 He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
36 А Исав рече: Право је што му је име Јаков, јер ме већ другом превари. Првенаштво ми узе, па ето сада ми узе и благослов. Потом рече: Ниси ли и мени оставио благослов?
36 Y él respondió: Bien llamaron su nombre Jacob, que ya me ha engañado dos veces; alzóse con mi primogenitura, y he aquí ahora ha tomado mi bendición. Y dijo: ¿No has guardado bendición para mí?
36 He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”
37 А Исак одговори, и рече Исаву: Ето сам га поставио теби за господара; и сву браћу његову дадох му да му буду слуге; пшеницом и вином укрепих га; па шта бих сада теби учинио, сине?
37 Isaac respondió y dijo á Esaú: He aquí yo le he puesto por señor tuyo, y le he dado por siervos á todos sus hermanos: de trigo y de vino le he provisto: ¿qué, pues, te haré á ti ahora, hijo mío?
37 Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
38 И Исав рече оцу свом: Еда ли је само један благослов у тебе, оче? Благослови и мене, оче. И стаде гласно плакати Исав.
38 Y Esaú respondió á su padre: ¿No tienes más que una sola bendición, padre mío? bendíceme también á mí, padre mío. Y alzó Esaú su voz, y lloró.
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 А Исак отац његов одговарајући рече му: Ево, стан ће ти бити на родној земљи и роси небеској озго.
39 Entonces Isaac su padre habló y díjole: He aquí será tu habitación en grosuras de la tierra, y del rocío de los cielos de arriba;
39 Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
40 Али ћеш живети од мача свог, и брату ћеш свом служити; али ће доћи време, те ћеш пошто се наплачеш скршити јарам његов с врата свог.
40 Y por tu espada vivirás, y á tu hermano servirás: y sucederá cuando te enseñorees, que descargarás su yugo de tu cerviz.
40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
41 И Исав омрзе љуто на Јакова ради благослова, којим га благослови отац, и говораше у срцу свом: Близу су жалосни дани оца мог, тада ћу убити Јакова брата свог.
41 Y aborreció Esaú á Jacob por la bendición con que le había bendecido, y dijo en su corazón: Llegarán los días del luto de mi padre, y yo mataré á Jacob mi hermano.
41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 И казаше Ревеци речи Исава сина њеног старијег, а она пославши дозва Јакова млађег сина свог, и рече му: Гле, Исав брат твој теши се тиме што хоће да те убије.
42 Y fueron dichas á Rebeca las palabras de Esaú su hijo mayor: y ella envió y llamó á Jacob su hijo menor, y díjole: He aquí, Esaú tu hermano se consuela acerca de ti [con la idea] de matarte.
42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 Него, сине, послушај шта ћу ти казати; устани и бежи к Лавану брату мом у Харан.
43 Ahora pues, hijo mío, obedece á mi voz; levántate, y húyete á Labán mi hermano, á Harán;
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 И остани код њега неко време докле прође срдња брата твог,
44 Y mora con él algunos días, hasta que el enojo de tu hermano se mitigue;
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
45 докле се гнев брата твог одврати од тебе, те заборави шта си му учинио; а онда ћу ја послати да те доведу оданде. Зашто бих остала без обојице вас у један дан?
45 Hasta que se aplaque la ira de tu hermano contra ti, y se olvide de lo que le has hecho: yo enviaré entonces, y te traeré de allá: ¿por qué seré privada de vosotros ambos en un día?
45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
46 А Исаку рече Ревека: Омрзао ми је живот ради ових Хетејака. Ако се Јаков ожени Хетејком, каквом између кћери ове земље, на шта ми живот?
46 Y dijo Rebeca á Isaac: Fastidio tengo de mi vida, á causa de las hijas de Heth. Si Jacob toma mujer de las hijas de Heth, como éstas, de las hijas de esta tierra, ¿para qué quiero la vida?
46 Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    The blessing of Isaac with which he blessed his younger son Jacob has the same meaning, when he says, "Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a full field which the Lord has blessed." But "the field is the world." And therefore he added, "God give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the …
