“You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”
24 Tedae a tue a tuemtuen vaengah a bung ah caphae la tarha a cun.
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
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 baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a 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.
Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they 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.
The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents.
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.
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Tedae Jakob loh andam a thong vaengah Esau buhmueh rhathih la pong lamkah ha pawk.
One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
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.
“Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)
31 Tedae Jakob loh, “Tihnin ah nang kah caminghamsum te kai taengah han yoi,” a ti nah.
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” 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! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 Tedae Jakob loh, “Tihnin ah kai ham toemngam laeh,” a ti nah vaengah a toemngam tih a caminghamsum te Jakob taengla a yoih.
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
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 Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son.
