The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”

“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 Hottelah camo khenae tueng a pha toteh, camo im dawk ca samphei e ao.
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
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 baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a coat. So they named him Esau.

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 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.
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 Isak teh Esaw ni a thokhai e moi ouk a ca dawkvah, Esaw hah a lungpataw. Hateiteh, Rebekah ni teh Jakop hah a lungpataw.
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while 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 Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
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.
“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 Hateiteh, Jakop ni camin coungnae hah hmaloe lah na ran sak telah atipouh.
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
32 Esaw ni khenhaw! kai teh meimei ka due toe, camin coungnae teh kai hanlah bangmaw cungkei han telah ati.
“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 Jakop ni, kai koevah hmaloe thoekâbo ei, telah atipouh. Jakop koe thoe a kâbo teh a camin coungnae hah a yo.
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
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 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.
