Genesis 25
1 Abraham loe zu maeto lak let, anih ih ahmin loe Keturah.
Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
2 Anih mah Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Median, Ishbak hoi Shuah to sak pae.
and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jokshan mah Sheba hoi Dedan to sak. Dedan ih caanawk loe Asshur kaminawk, Letush kaminawk hoi Leum kaminawk ah oh o.
Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
4 Midian caanawk loe Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abidah hoi Eldaah. Hae kaminawk boih loe Keturah mah sak ih caanawk ah oh o.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
5 Abraham loe a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih Issak hanah paek.
Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
6 Toe a hing naah angmah zula ih caanawk hanah tangqumnawk to a paek moe, nihcae to a capa Issak hma hoi ni angyae bangah patoeh boih.
But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
7 Abraham loe mitong boeh moe, saning cumvai qui sarih, pangato hing.
Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
8 To tiah mitong moe, hinghaih qui apet pacoengah a duek, to pacoengah angmah ih kaminawk khaeah caeh.
And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
9 A caa Issak hoi Ishmael mah Mamre vangpui pha ai nathuem ih, Hit kami Zohar capa Ephron ih lawk thungah kaom, Makpelah thlung khaw thungah aphum hoi.
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
10 To lawk loe Abraham mah Hit kaminawk khaeah qanh; Abraham hoi a zu Sarah loe to ahmuen ah aphum hoi hmaek.
This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
11 Abraham duek pacoengah, Sithaw mah Issak to tahamhoihaih paek; Issak loe Beer Lahai Roi taengah khosak.
After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Sarah ih tamna Izip tanuh, Hagar mah Abraham han sak pae ih, Abraham capa Ishmael ih caanawk kawng loe hae tiah oh.
This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
13 Ishmael caanawk ih ahmin loe, angmacae acaeng anghumhaih ahmin baktih toengah, calu ah Nebajoth, Keder, Adbeel, Mibsam;
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish hoi Kedemah;
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 hae kaminawk loe Ishmael ih caa ah oh o, to tiah ahmin kaom kaminawk loe, angmacae ih vangpui, angmacae misa abuephaih baktih toengah, acaeng hatlai hnetto ukkung ah oh o roep.
These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
17 Ishamael loe saning cumvai qui thum, sarihto hing; a hinghaih qui apet moe, duek pacoengah, angmah ih kaminawk khaeah angkuem.
Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 Anih ih caanawk loe Assyria prae caehhaih loklam, Havilah hoi Izip prae ni angyae bang ih Shur vangpui khoek to khosak o; anih loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk boih hma ah duek.
Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
19 Abraham capa, Issak kawng loe hae tiah oh; Abraham mah Issak to sak;
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Issak loe Padan Aram ahmuen ah kaom, Syria acaeng Bethuel ih canu, Syria acaeng Laban ih tanuh, Rebekah to zu ah lak naah, saning qui palito oh boeh.
and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 A zu loe caa kaak pongah, Issak mah a zu hanah Angraeng khaeah lawkthuih pae; Angraeng mah lawkthuihaih lok to tahngaih pae pongah, a zu Rebekah loe zokpomh.
Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
22 A zok thung ih nawkta loe maeto hoi maeto ang-et hoi khing; to naah amno mah, Tipongah hae tiah oh vai? tiah poek. To pongah lokdueng hanah Angraeng khaeah a caeh.
But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
23 Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Na zok thungah kami acaeng hnetto oh; na zok thung hoiah tuinuen kalah acaeng hnetto tacawt tih; acaeng maeto loe kalah acaeng maeto pongah thacak kue ueloe, kacoeh mah kanawk ih tok to sah pae tih, tiah a naa.
and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
24 Nawkta zahhaih tue phak naah, anih zok thung ih nawkta loe angphae.
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
25 Tacawt hmaloe loe ngan to thim dung, a tak loe amui cing ah oh; to pongah anih to Esau, tiah ahmin phui.
The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
26 To pacoengah amnawk to tapen; a ban hoiah Esau ih khok tahmawh to patawnh; to pongah anih to Jakob, tiah ahmin sak; Rebakah mah nihnik to sak naah, Issak loe saning qui tarukto oh boeh.
After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
27 Nawkta hnik loe qoeng hoi tahang, Esau loe moi kat kop kami, moi zoep thaih kami ah oh; toe Jakob loe kaom duem kami ah oh moe, kahni imthung ah oh.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
28 Issak loe taw ih moi to caak pongah Esau to palung, toe Rebekah mah loe Jakob to palung.
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Nito naah loe Jakob mah caak koi maeto thongh, to naah Esau loe taw hoiah angzoh moe, zok amthlam parai pongah,
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
30 Esau mah Jakob khaeah, Na thongh ih kamling huep caak koi to na paek thoem ah, zok amthlam parai boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah anih ih ahmin to Edom, tiah sak.
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
31 To naah Jakob mah, Calu ah na ohhaih to vaihniah kai khaeah na zaw ah, tiah a naa.
“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
32 To naah Esau mah, Khenah, ka duek tom boeh; calu ah ohhaih loe timaw atho oh? tiah a thuih.
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
33 Jakob mah vaihniah kai khaeah lokkamhaih sah ah, tiah a naa. Esau mah anih khaeah lokkamhaih sak pacoengah, calu ah ohhaih to Jakob khaeah a zawh.
“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
34 To pacoengah Jakob mah takaw hoi peh to Esau hanah paek; anih mah caak moe, naek pacoengah, angthawk moe, a caeh. To tiah Esau mah calu ah ohhaih to khet patoek.
Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
