Da sprach er: Er heißt wohl Jakob; denn er hat mich nun zweimal überlistet. Meine Erstgeburt hat er dahin; und siehe, nun nimmt er auch meinen Segen. Und sprach: Hast du mir denn keinen Segen vorbehalten?
Y él respondió: Bien llamaron su nombre Jacob, que ya me ha engañado dos veces; alzose con mi primogenitura, y he aquí ahora ha tomado mi bendición. Y dijo: ¿No has guardado bendición para mí?
Esaú dijo: «¿No fue con razón que lo llamaron Jacob? Ya me ha suplantado dos veces: tomó mi primogenitura, y ahora ha tomado mi bendición». Y añadió: «¿No has reservado una bendición para mí?».
Esaü dit: Est-ce parce qu'on l'a appelé du nom de Jacob qu'il m'a supplanté deux fois? Il a enlevé mon droit d'aînesse, et voici maintenant qu'il vient d'enlever ma bénédiction. Et il dit: N'as-tu point réservé de bénédiction pour moi?
Ed Esaù disse: Non fu egli pur nominato Giacobbe? egli mi ha frodato già due volte; egli mi tolse già la mia primogenitura; ed ecco, ora mi ha tolta la mia benedizione. Poi disse a suo padre: Non mi hai tu riserbata alcuna benedizione?
Então disse ele: Não é o seu nome justamente Jacó, tanto que já duas vezes me enganou? A minha primogenitura me tomou, e eis que agora me tomou a minha bênção. E perguntou: Não reservaste, pois, para mim nenhuma bênção?
以掃 說:「他名叫 雅各 ,豈不是這樣嗎?他欺騙了我兩次:他先前奪了我長子的名分,看哪,他現在又奪了我的福分。」 以掃 又說:「你沒有留下給我的祝福嗎?」
