Genesis 25

1 Abraham loe zu maeto lak let, anih ih ahmin loe Keturah.

And Abraham addeth and taketh a wife, and her name [is] Keturah;

2 Anih mah Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Median, Ishbak hoi Shuah to sak pae.

and she beareth to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and 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.

And Jokshan hath begotten Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim;

4 Midian caanawk loe Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abidah hoi Eldaah. Hae kaminawk boih loe Keturah mah sak ih caanawk ah oh o.

and the sons of Midian [are] Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah: all these [are] sons of Keturah.

5 Abraham loe a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih Issak hanah paek.

And Abraham giveth all that he hath 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.

and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham hath, Abraham hath given gifts, and sendeth them away from Isaac his son (in his being yet alive) eastward, unto the east country.

7 Abraham loe mitong boeh moe, saning cumvai qui sarih, pangato hing.

And these [are] the days of the years of the life of Abraham, which he lived, a hundred and seventy and five years;

8 To tiah mitong moe, hinghaih qui apet pacoengah a duek, to pacoengah angmah ih kaminawk khaeah caeh.

and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto 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.

And Isaac and Ishmael his sons bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite, which [is] before Mamre —

10 To lawk loe Abraham mah Hit kaminawk khaeah qanh; Abraham hoi a zu Sarah loe to ahmuen ah aphum hoi hmaek.

the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth — there hath Abraham been buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 Abraham duek pacoengah, Sithaw mah Issak to tahamhoihaih paek; Issak loe Beer Lahai Roi taengah khosak.

And it cometh to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blesseth Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelleth by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.

12 Sarah ih tamna Izip tanuh, Hagar mah Abraham han sak pae ih, Abraham capa Ishmael ih caanawk kawng loe hae tiah oh.

And these [are] births of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, hath borne to Abraham;

13 Ishmael caanawk ih ahmin loe, angmacae acaeng anghumhaih ahmin baktih toengah, calu ah Nebajoth, Keder, Adbeel, Mibsam;

and these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish hoi Kedemah;

Hadar, and 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 are sons of Ishmael, and these their names, by their villages, and by their towers; twelve princes according to their peoples.

17 Ishamael loe saning cumvai qui thum, sarihto hing; a hinghaih qui apet moe, duek pacoengah, angmah ih kaminawk khaeah angkuem.

And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto 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.

and they tabernacle from Havilah unto Shur, which [is] before Egypt, in [thy] going towards Asshur; in the presence of all his brethren hath he fallen.

19 Abraham capa, Issak kawng loe hae tiah oh; Abraham mah Issak to sak;

And these [are] births of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham hath begotten 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 is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean, from Padan-Aram, sister of Laban the Aramaean, to him for a wife.

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.

And Isaac maketh entreaty to Jehovah before his wife, for she [is] barren: and Jehovah is entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiveth,

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.

and the children struggle together within her, and she saith, 'If [it is] right — why [am] I thus?' and she goeth to seek Jehovah.

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 Jehovah saith to her, 'Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the [one] people than the [other] people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.'

24 Nawkta zahhaih tue phak naah, anih zok thung ih nawkta loe angphae.

And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins [are] 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.

and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name 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.

and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau's heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing them.

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.

And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with] hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob [is] a plain man, inhabiting tents;

28 Issak loe taw ih moi to caak pongah Esau to palung, toe Rebekah mah loe Jakob to palung.

and Isaac loveth Esau, for [his] hunting [is] in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.

29 Nito naah loe Jakob mah caak koi maeto thongh, to naah Esau loe taw hoiah angzoh moe, zok amthlam parai pongah,

And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the field, and he [is] weary;

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.

and Esau saith unto Jacob, 'Let me eat, I pray thee, some of this red red thing, for I [am] weary;' therefore hath [one] called his name Edom [Red];

31 To naah Jakob mah, Calu ah na ohhaih to vaihniah kai khaeah na zaw ah, tiah a naa.

and Jacob saith, 'Sell to-day thy birthright to me.'

32 To naah Esau mah, Khenah, ka duek tom boeh; calu ah ohhaih loe timaw atho oh? tiah a thuih.

And Esau saith, 'Lo, I am going to die, and what is this to me — birthright?'

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.

and Jacob saith, 'Swear to me to-day:' and he sweareth to him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob;

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.

and Jacob hath given to Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he eateth, and drinketh, and riseth, and goeth; and Esau despiseth the birthright.
