19 Abraham e capa Isak e catounnaw teh hettelah ao. Abraham ni a capa Isak a khe teh,
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Isak ni Paddanaram ram e Syria tami Bethuel canu, Syria tami Laban e a tawncanu Rebekah a yu lah a la nah a kum 40 touh a pha.
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 yu teh carôe dawk BAWIPA koevah pou a hei teh BAWIPA ni a heinae teh a thai pouh dawkvah Rebekah teh camo a vawn.
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 Camo a vawn e teh a thung vah pou a kâthe dawkvah, ahni ni hettelah awm rah pawiteh, bangkongmaw kahring rah telah ati. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA koe pacei hanlah a cei.
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 BAWIPA ni camo im dawk miphun kahni touh ao. Na von thung hoi miphun kahni touh kâkapek han. Miphun buet touh e teh buet touh e hlak a thayoun han. Hahoi, a hmau ni a nawngha e thaw a tawk pouh han telah ati.
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 Hottelah camo khenae tueng a pha toteh, camo im dawk ca samphei e ao.
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
25 Hmaloe e teh ka palingphung lahoi a tâco. Hni muen patetlah a muen puk a tho teh a min lah Esaw telah a phung.
The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
26 Hathnukkhu hoi, a nawngha teh Esaw e khokpaimai kuet lahoi a tâco. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Jakop telah a phung. Rebekah ni ahni a khe nah Isak teh a kum 60 touh a pha.
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 Camo roi a roung teh, Esaw teh moi ka ka thai poung e samram pou ka cet tami lah ao. Hateiteh, Jakop teh kâkamuete lah ao dawk im vah ao.
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 Isak teh Esaw ni a thokhai e moi ouk a ca dawkvah, Esaw hah a lungpataw. Hateiteh, Rebekah ni teh Jakop hah a lungpataw.
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Jakop ni rawca a thawng teh, Esaw teh kahrawng hoi a tho nah a vonhlam ni a khaw teh ngawt a tawn dawkvah,
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
30 Esaw ni Jakop koevah, pahren lahoi na thawng e rawca hah na cat sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka vonhlam ni na khaw toe telah atipouh. Hat dawk nahoehmaw min teh Edom telah ati.
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 Hateiteh, Jakop ni camin coungnae hah hmaloe lah na ran sak telah atipouh.
“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
32 Esaw ni khenhaw! kai teh meimei ka due toe, camin coungnae teh kai hanlah bangmaw cungkei han telah ati.
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
33 Jakop ni, kai koevah hmaloe thoekâbo ei, telah atipouh. Jakop koe thoe a kâbo teh a camin coungnae hah a yo.
“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
34 Jakop ni Esaw teh vaiyei hoi rawca a thawng e hah a poe. Hottelah, a canei hnukkhu vah a tâco teh a cei. Hot patetlah Esaw ni camin coungnae hah banglahai noutna hoeh.
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.
