以撒娶利百加为妻的时候正四十岁。利百加是巴旦·亚兰地的亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹子。
21 And Isaac bisouyte the Lord for his wijf, for sche was bareyn; and the Lord herde him, and yaf conseiuyng to Rebecca.
以撒因他妻子不生育，就为她祈求耶和华；耶和华应允他的祈求，他的妻子利百加就怀了孕。
22 But the litle children weren hurtlid togidre in hir wombe; and sche seide, If it was so to comynge to me, what nede was it to conseyue? And sche yede and axide counsel of the Lord,
孩子们在她腹中彼此相争，她就说：“若是这样，我为什么活着呢？”她就去求问耶和华。
23 which answerde, and seide, Twei folkis ben in thi wombe, and twei puplis schulen be departid fro thi wombe, and a puple schal ouercome a puple, and the more schal serue the lesse.
耶和华对她说： 两国在你腹内； 两族要从你身上出来。 这族必强于那族； 将来大的要服事小的。
24 Thanne the tyme of childberyng cam, and lo! twei children weren foundun in hir wombe.
生产的日子到了，腹中果然是双子。
25 He that yede out first was reed, and al rouy in the manere of a skyn; and his name was clepid Esau.
先产的身体发红，浑身有毛，如同皮衣，他们就给他起名叫以扫。
26 Anoon the tothir yede out, and helde with the hond the heele of the brother; and therfore he clepide him Jacob. Isaac was sixti yeer eeld, whanne the litle children weren borun.
随后又生了以扫的兄弟，手抓住以扫的脚跟，因此给他起名叫雅各。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年正六十岁。
27 And whanne thei weren woxun, Esau was maad a man kunnynge of huntyng, and a man erthe tilier; forsothe Jacob was a symple man, and dwellide in tabernaclis.
两个孩子渐渐长大，以扫善于打猎，常在田野；雅各为人安静，常住在帐棚里。
28 Isaac louyde Esau, for he eet of the huntyng of Esau; and Rebecca louyde Jacob.
以撒爱以扫，因为常吃他的野味；利百加却爱雅各。
29 Sotheli Jacob sethide potage; and whanne Esau cam weri fro the feld,
有一天，雅各熬汤，以扫从田野回来累昏了。
30 he seide to Jacob, Yyue thou to me of this reed sething, for Y am ful weri; for which cause his name was clepid Edom.
以扫对雅各说：“我累昏了，求你把这红汤给我喝。”因此以扫又叫以东。
31 And Jacob seide to him, Sille to me the riyt of the first gendrid childe.
雅各说：“你今日把长子的名分卖给我吧。”
32 He answerde, Lo! Y die, what schulen the firste gendrid thingis profite to me?
以扫说：“我将要死，这长子的名分于我有什么益处呢？”
33 Jacob seide, therfor swere thou to me. Therfor Esau swoor, and selde the firste gendrid thingis.
雅各说：“你今日对我起誓吧。”以扫就对他起了誓，把长子的名分卖给雅各。
34 And so whanne he hadde take breed and potage, Esau eet and drank, and yede forth, and chargide litil that he hadde seld the riyt of the firste gendrid child.
于是雅各将饼和红豆汤给了以扫，以扫吃了喝了，便起来走了。这就是以扫轻看了他长子的名分。
