1. 1LUGAwo Isaaka bwe yali ng’akaddiye nnyo n’amaaso ge nga gayimbadde, nga takyayinza kulaba, n’ayita Esawu mutabani we omukulu, n’amugamba nti, “Mutabani,” n’amuddamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”BSBBSB: When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” Esau replied.
2. 2LUGIsaaka n’amugamba nti, “Laba, nkaddiye, simanyi lwe ndifa.BSBBSB: “Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3. 3LUGKale kaakano kwata by’oyizza, omutego gwo n’obusaale bwo, ogende mu nsiko onjiggire yo omuyiggo.BSBBSB: Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
4. 4LUGOnteekereteekere ekyokulya ekiwooma ennyo kye njagala, okindeetere nkirye, ndyoke nkusabire omukisa nga sinnafa.”BSBBSB: Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
5. 5LUGNe Lebbeeka yali awo ng’awuliriza, Isaaka ng’agamba mutabani we omukulu Esawu. Awo Esawu bwe yagenda mu nsiko okuyigga omuyiggo aguleete,BSBBSB: Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
6. 6LUGLebbeeka n’agamba mutabani we Yakobo owookubiri nti, “Mpulidde kitaawo ng’agamba muganda wo Esawu nti,BSBBSB: Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7. 7LUG‘Ndeetera omuyiggo onteekereteekere ekyokulya ekiwooma obulungi, nkirye, ndyoke nkusabire omukisa eri Mukama nga sinnafa.’BSBBSB: ‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
8. 8LUGKale nno kaakano mwana wange wulira kye nkugamba.BSBBSB: Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
9. 9LUGGenda eri ekisibo ondeeteremu embuzi bbiri ennungi, nfumbire kitaawo ekyokulya ekiwooma, nga bw’ayagala,BSBBSB: Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
10. 10LUGokitwalire kitaawo akirye, alyoke akusabire omukisa nga tannafa.”BSBBSB: Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
11. 11LUGNaye Yakobo n’agamba Lebbeeka nnyina nti, “Muganda wange Esawu musajja wa byoya, so nga nze ndi muweweevu.BSBBSB: Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
12. 12LUGSinga kitange anampeeweetako, siifuuke mulimba gy’ali, ne nfuna ekikolimo mu kifo ky’okufuna omukisa?”BSBBSB: What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
13. 13LUGNnyina n’amuddamu nti, “Ekikolimo kyo kibe ku nze mwana wange; wulira ekigambo kyange ogende ozindeetere.”BSBBSB: His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
14. 14LUGAwo Yakobo n’agenda, n’azikwata n’azireeteera nnyina, n’ateekerateekera Isaaka ekyokulya ekiwooma nga bwe yayagala.BSBBSB: So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
15. 15LUGLebbeeka n’addira ebyambalo ebisinga obulungi ebya Esawu, mutabani we omukulu, ebyali mu nnyumba; n’abyambaza Yakobo mutabani we omuto,BSBBSB: And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
16. 16LUGera n’addira n’amaliba g’embuzi n’agamwambaza ku mikono ne ku bitundu ebyobulago ebiweweera.BSBBSB: She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17. 17LUGN’alyoka addira ekyokulya ekiwooma n’omugaati bye yafumba, n’abikwasa Yakobo mutabani we.BSBBSB: Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
18. 18LUGAwo Yakobo n’agenda eri kitaawe, n’amugamba nti, “Kitange nzuuno.” Ye n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe ani mwana wange?”BSBBSB: So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
19. 19LUGYakobo n’agamba kitaawe nti, “Nze Esawu omwana wo omubereberye, nkoze nga bw’oŋŋambye. Kale kaakano tuula olye ku muyiggo gwange olyoke onsabire omukisa.”BSBBSB: Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”
20. 20LUGNaye Isaaka n’abuuza mutabani we nti, “Ogufunye otya amangu bw’otyo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Mukama Katonda wo ampadde omukisa.”BSBBSB: But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
21. 21LUGAwo Isaaka n’agamba mutabani we nti, “Sembera wendi mutabani, nkukwateko, ntegeerere ddala nga ggwe mutabani wange Esawu.”BSBBSB: Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
22. 22LUGYakobo kwe kusembera awali Isaaka kitaawe. Bwe yamuwulira n’agamba nti, “Eddoboozi lya Yakobo naye emikono gya Esawu.”BSBBSB: So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23. 23LUGN’atamutegeera kubanga emikono gye gyaliko obwoya ng’egya Esawu muganda we, kwe kumuwa omukisa.BSBBSB: Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
24. 24LUGIsaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ddala gwe mwana wange Esawu?” N’amuddamu nti, “Ye nze.”BSBBSB: Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
25. 25LUGN’alyoka amugamba nti, “Kale gundeetere, ndye ku muyiggo gwa mutabani wange, nkusabire omukisa.” N’alyoka agumuleetera, n’alya era n’amuleetera n’envinnyo n’anywa.BSBBSB: “Serve me,” said Isaac, “and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.
26. 26LUGAwo kitaawe Isaaka n’amugamba nti, “Sembera onnywegere mwana wange.”BSBBSB: Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
27. 27LUGN’amusemberera n’amunywegera, kitaawe n’awulira akaloosa ke ngoye ze n’amuwa omukisa ng’agamba nti, “Wulira akaloosa k’omwana wange, kali ng’akaloosa k’ennimiro Mukama gy’awadde omukisa.BSBBSB: So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
28. 28LUGKatonda akuwe omusulo ogw’omu ggulu, n’obugimu bw’ensi, era akuwe emmere ey’empeke nnyingi n’envinnyo.BSBBSB: May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth—an abundance of grain and new wine.
29. 29LUGAbantu bakuweerezenga, n’amawanga gakuvuunamirenga. Fuganga baganda bo, ne batabani ba nnyoko bakuvuunamirenga. Akolimirwe oyo anaakukolimiranga era aweebwenga omukisa oyo anaakusabiranga omukisa.”BSBBSB: May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
30. 30LUGAmangu ddala nga Isaaka yakamala okuwa Yakobo omukisa, era nga Yakobo tannava wali Isaaka kitaabwe, Esawu n’atuuka ng’ava okuyigga.BSBBSB: As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
31. 31LUGEra naye n’ateekateeka emmere ey’akawoowo n’agireetera kitaawe. N’agamba kitaawe nti, “Kitange golokoka olye ku muyiggo gw’omwana wo olyoke onsabire omukisa.”BSBBSB: He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32. 32LUGKitaawe Isaaka n’amubuuza nti, “Gwe ani?” Kwe kumuddamu nti, “Nze omwana wo omubereberye Esawu.”BSBBSB: But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
33. 33LUGOlwo Isaaka n’akankana nnyo n’abuuza nti, “Ani oyo ayizze omuyiggo n’agundeetera ne ngulya ne ngumalawo nga tonnajja ne mmusabira omukisa? Era ddala ajja kuweebwa omukisa.”BSBBSB: Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”
34. 34LUGAwo Esawu bwe yawulira ebigambo bya kitaawe ebyo, n’atulika n’akaaba nnyo nnyini, n’agamba kitaawe nti, “Nange mpa omukisa, ayi kitange.”BSBBSB: When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”
35. 35LUGNaye n’amuddamu nti, “Muganda wo azze n’annimba era akututteko omukisa gwo.”BSBBSB: But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36. 36LUGEsawu n’ayogera nti, “Teyatuumibwa linnya lye Yakobo? Laba, anyingiridde emirundi gino gyombi; yanziggyako eby’obukulu bwange, ate kaakano antutteko n’omukisa gwange.” Kwe kubuuza kitaawe nti, “Tondekeddeewo mukisa n’akatono?”BSBBSB: So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
37. 37LUGIsaaka n’addamu Esawu nti, “Laba, mmufudde mukama wo, era mmuwadde baganda be bonna babe baweereza be, era mmusabidde abe n’emmere ey’empeke wamu n’envinnyo nga bingi ddala. Kale nnaakukolera ki mwana wange?”BSBBSB: But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”
38. 38LUGEsawu n’abuuza kitaawe nti, “Tolinaawo mukisa na gumu kitange? Nange mpa omukisa, ayi kitange.” Bw’atyo Esawu n’ayimusa eddoboozi lye n’akaaba.BSBBSB: Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
39. 39LUGAwo Isaaka kitaawe n’amuddamu nti, “Laba, onooberanga mu nsi enkalu, era toofunenga musulo guva waggulu mu ggulu.BSBBSB: His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.
40. 40LUGEkitala kyo kye kinaakukuumanga, era onooweerezanga muganda wo. Naye bw’olimwesimattulako, oliba weefunidde eddembe.”BSBBSB: You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
41. 41LUGAwo Esawu n’akyawa muganda we Yakobo ng’amulanga omukisa kitaabwe gwe yamuwa. Esawu n’alyoka ayogera nti, “Ennaku ez’okukungubagira kitange zinaatera okutuuka. Bwe zirituuka, muganda wange Yakobo nga mutta.”BSBBSB: Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42. 42LUGKyokka Lebbeeka n’atuusibwako ebigambo bya Esawu mutabani we omukulu; kwe kutumya Yakobo mutabani we omuto, n’amugamba nti, “Laba, Esawu muganda wo ateekateeka okukutta.BSBBSB: When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.
43. 43LUGKale nno kaakano mwana wange, okole nga bwe nkugamba: Golokoka oddukire ewa, mwannyinaze Labbaani ali mu Kalani,BSBBSB: So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
44. 44LUGobeereko eyo, okutuusa obusungu bwa muganda wo nga bukkakkanye.BSBBSB: Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
45. 45LUGObusungu bwe buliba bumuweddeko, nga yeerabidde ky’omukoze, ne ndyoka ntuma ne bakunona. Kale lwaki mbafiirwa mwembi ku lunaku olumu?”BSBBSB: until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46. 46LUGLebbeeka n’alyoka ategeeza Isaaka nti, “Obulamu bwange bwetamiddwa olw’abakazi bano Abakiiti. Singa Yakobo awasa omu ku bakazi Abakiiti, nga bano, omu ku bakazi aba muno, obulamu bwange buliba tebukyangasa.”BSBBSB: Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
