20 qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban.
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccæ.
Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Sed collidebantur in utero ejus parvuli; quæ ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum.
The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh.
23 Qui respondens ait: [Duæ gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur, populusque populum superabit, et major serviet minori.]
Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”
24 Jam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero ejus reperti sunt.
When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus: vocatumque est nomen ejus Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu: et idcirco appellavit eum Jacob.
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.
After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Jacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis.
The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Jacob.
Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Coxit autem Jacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,
Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen ejus Edom.
Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
31 Cui dixit Jacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.
Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32 Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita?
Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 Ait Jacob: Jura ergo mihi. Juravit ei Esau et vendidit primogenita.
Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Et sic, accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit et bibit, et abiit, parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.
Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
