But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.

His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
19 Mae nonro Isaka wuod Ibrahim. Ibrahim nonywolo Isaka,
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 kendo Isaka ne ja-higni piero angʼwen kane okendo Rebeka nyar Bethuel ja-Aram mane odak e piny Padan Aram, kendo ma nyamin Laban.
and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
21 Isaka nolamo Jehova Nyasaye ne chiege, nikech en migumba. Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko lamone, kendo chiege Rebeka nomako ich.
Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
22 Nyithindo ne olarore e iye mi nowacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ma timorena?” Omiyo nodhi mondo openj Jehova Nyasaye wachni.
She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
23 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ogendini ariyo ni e iyi, kendo ogendini ariyogo biro pogore; oganda moro biro bedo motegno moloyo machielo kendo wuowi maduongʼ noti ne wuowi matin.”
Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
24 Kane kinde mar nywol ochopo, to ne nitie rude ma yawuowi e iye.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Mano mane okwongo wuok ne kwar, kendo dende duto ne chalo motimo yier; kuom mano negichake ni Esau.
The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
26 Bangʼ ma owadgi nowuok kod lwete komako ofunj tiend Esau; kuom mano negichako Jakobo. Isaka ne ja-higni piero auchiel kane Rebeka onywolo yawuowigo.
Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
27 Yawuowigo nodongo, kendo Esau nobedo jadwar molony, ngʼat ma jathim, to Jakobo to ne ngʼama muol madak ei hema.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
28 Isaka ma nohero ring le nohero Esau to Rebeka nohero Jakobo.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Chiengʼ moro kane Jakobo tedo ogira, Esau nodonjo koa e dwar kodenyo.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Esau nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Asayi miya ogira makwarno adenyo!” (Mano emomiyo bende iluonge ni Edom.)
He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
31 Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Kuong iusna duongʼni mar nywol.”
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Esau nowachone niya, “Ne achiegni tho. Ere ohala ma ayudo kuom duongʼ mar nywolna?”
Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
33 To Jakobo nowachone niya, “Kwongʼrina mokwongo.” Kuom mano Esau nokwongʼore ne Jakobo, ma ousone duongʼne mar nywol.
Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Eka Jakobo nomiyo Esau kuon gi ogich ngʼor. Nochiemo kendo ometho, eka ne ochungʼ mi odhi. Kuom mano Esau, nojwangʼo duongʼne mar nywol.
Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
