< Genesis 25 >

1 Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
Te phoeiah Abraham loh yuu koep a loh tih anih ming tah Keturah ni.
2 and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Abraham ham Zimran neh Jokshan khaw, Medan khaw, Midian khaw, Ishbak khaw, Shuah khaw a sak pah.
3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
Jokshan loh Sheba neh Dedan te a sak tih Dedan ca rhoek la Asshurim, Lethushim neh Leummim om.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
Midian ca rhoek la Ephah khaw, Epher khaw, Hanok khaw, Abidah neh Eldaah khaw om tih amih boeih he Keturah ko rhoek ni.
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
Abraham loh amah kah a cungkuem te Isaak taengah a paek.
6 But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
Tedae Abraham yula rhoek kah a ca rhoek te Abraham loh amah a hing vaengah kutdoe a paek tih a capa Isaak taeng lamkah khothoeng ben khothoeng kho la vik a tueih.
7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
Te dongah Abraham kah a hingnah kum tue he kum ya neh kum sawmrhih kum nga hing.
8 And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
Tedae Abraham he pal tih a duek vaengah khaw patong sampok then neh ngaikhuek la a pilnam taengah khoem uh.
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
Te vaengah anih te a ca rhoi Isaak neh Ishmael loh Mamre kaep Khitti hoel Zohar capa Ephron lo kah Makpelah lungko ah a up rhoi.
10 This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
Tekah lo te Abraham loh Kheth ca rhoek taeng lamkah a lai dongah, Abraham loh a yuu Sarah te khaw pahoi a up.
11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
Tedae Abraham a dueknah hnutah aka om tah, a capa Isaak te Pathen loh yoethen a paek. Te dongah Isaak loh Beerlahairoi taengah kho a sak.
12 This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
Te phoeiah hekah he Abraham capa Ishmael, Abraham taengah Sarah loh a paek a sal Egypt nu Hagar loh a cun kah rhuirhong ni.
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
He tah amamih ming bangla Ishmael ca rhoek kah a ming ni. Amih kah rhuirhong dongah Ishmael kah caming tah Nebaioth tih Kedar neh Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, Kedemah om.
16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
Amih Ishmael ca rhoek he khaw amah ming, amah vongtung, amah lumim neh amah namtu kah khoboei he hlai nit om uh.
17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
Tedae Ishmael kah a hingnah kum he kum ya neh kum sawmthum kum rhih a lo vaengah pal tih a duek dongah a pilnam taengla khoem uh.
18 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.
Amih khaw Havilah lamkah Assyria la aka pawk Egypt khorhi Shur duela kho a sak uh tih a manuca rhoek boeih kah imdan ah bakuep uh.
19 This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Te phoeiah hekah he Abraham capa Isaak kah a rhuirhong ni. Abraham loh Isaak a sak tih,
20 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.
Isaak kum sawmli a lo ca vaengah a yuu te Paddanaram kah Arammi Bethuel canu, Arammi Laban ngannu, Rebekah te a loh.
21 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.
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.
22 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,
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.
23 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.”
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.
24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
Tedae a tue a tuemtuen vaengah a bung ah caphae la tarha a cun.
25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
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.
26 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.
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.
27 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.
Tedae camoe rhoi te a pantai vaengah Esau te pongcet hlang, sakap thai hlang la coeng tih Jakob he dap ah duem aka om hlang la coeng.
28 Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Te vaengah Esau kah sakah te a ka dongah a tui pah dongah Isaak loh a lungnah dae Rebekah long tah Jakob a lungnah.
29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
Tedae Jakob loh andam a thong vaengah Esau buhmueh rhathih la pong lamkah ha pawk.
30 He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
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.
31 “First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
Tedae Jakob loh, “Tihnin ah nang kah caminghamsum te kai taengah han yoi,” a ti nah.
32 “Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
Te dongah Esau loh, “Hekah caminghamsum khaw kai ham te balam nim. Kai duek ham ka cet coeng he,” a ti nah.
33 “Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
Tedae Jakob loh, “Tihnin ah kai ham toemngam laeh,” a ti nah vaengah a toemngam tih a caminghamsum te Jakob taengla a yoih.
34 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.
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.
