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 Te phoeiah hekah he Abraham capa Isaak kah a rhuirhong ni. Abraham loh Isaak a sak tih,
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Isaak kum sawmli a lo ca vaengah a yuu te Paddanaram kah Arammi Bethuel canu, Arammi Laban ngannu, Rebekah te a loh.
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 Tedae anih te a yaa dongah Isaak loh BOEIPA taengah a yuu yueng la thangthui. Te dongah anih te BOEIPA loh a rhoi tih a yuu Rebekah pahoi pumrhih.
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 Tedae a ko khuikah camoe rhoi te phop uh rhoi. Te dongah, “Balae tih hetla ka om mai,” a ti. Te dongah BOEIPA te dawt ham cet.
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 Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih taengah, “Nang bung khuiah namtu neh namtu om rhoi tih na ko lamkah namtu te panit la paek uh rhoi ni. Te vaengah namtu pakhat te namtu pakhat lakah te tlung vetih a ham loh a noe taengah thotat ni,” a ti nah.
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 Tedae a tue a tuemtuen vaengah a bung ah caphae la tarha a cun.
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
25 Te vaengah aka thoeng lamhma te a pum boeih lingphung tih a mul khaw himbai bangla a om dongah anih ming te Esau a sui.
The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
26 A hnukah a mana om tih a kut neh Esau kah khodil te a tuuk. Te dongah a ming te Jakob a sui. Amih rhoi a sak vaengah Isaak khaw kum sawmrhuk lo ca coeng.
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 Tedae camoe rhoi te a pantai vaengah Esau te pongcet hlang, sakap thai la hlang coeng tih Jakob he dap ah duem aka om hlang la coeng.
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 Te vaengah Esau kah sakah te a ka dongah a tui pah dongah Isaak loh a lungnah dae Rebekah long tah Jakob a lungnah.
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Tedae Jakob loh andam a thong vaengah Esau buhmueh rhathih la pong lamkah ha pawk.
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
30 Te dongah Esau loh Jakob la, “Kai he bumueh rhathih la ka om dongah tekah a thim a thim te kai n'cah mai,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih ming te Edom a sui.
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 Tedae Jakob loh, “Tihnin ah nang kah caminghamsum te kai taengah han yoi,” a ti nah.
“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
32 Te dongah Esau loh, “Hekah caminghamsum khaw kai ham te balam nim. Kai duek ham ka cet coeng he,” a ti nah.
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
33 Tedae Jakob loh, “Tihnin ah kai ham toemngam laeh,” a ti nah vaengah a toemngam tih a caminghamsum te Jakob taengla a yoih.
“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
34 Te daengah Jakob loh buh neh rhacik andam te Esau a paek. Tedae a caak a ok phoeiah thoo tih vik cet. Te dongah Esau loh caminghamsum te a sawtsit coeng.
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.
