< Genesis 25 >

1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
Abraham loe zu maeto lak let, anih ih ahmin loe Keturah.
2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Anih mah Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Median, Ishbak hoi Shuah to sak pae.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
Jokshan mah Sheba hoi Dedan to sak. Dedan ih caanawk loe Asshur kaminawk, Letush kaminawk hoi Leum kaminawk ah oh o.
4 The sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Midian caanawk loe Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abidah hoi Eldaah. Hae kaminawk boih loe Keturah mah sak ih caanawk ah oh o.
5 And Abraham gave all that he owned to his son Isaac,
Abraham loe a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih Issak hanah paek.
6 and to the sons of Abraham's secondary wives, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was still living, eastward, to the east country.
Toe a hing naah angmah zula ih caanawk hanah tangqumnawk to a paek moe, nihcae to a capa Issak hma hoi ni angyae bangah patoeh boih.
7 This was the length of Abraham's life: one hundred seventy-five years.
Abraham loe mitong boeh moe, saning cumvai qui sarih, pangato hing.
8 Abraham breathed his last, and died in a good old age, an old man and satisfied, and was gathered to his people.
To tiah mitong moe, hinghaih qui apet pacoengah a duek, to pacoengah angmah ih kaminawk khaeah caeh.
9 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hethite, which is near Mamre,
A caa Issak hoi Ishmael mah Mamre vangpui pha ai nathuem ih, Hit kami Zohar capa Ephron ih lawk thungah kaom, Makpelah thlung khaw thungah aphum hoi.
10 the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
To lawk loe Abraham mah Hit kaminawk khaeah qanh; Abraham hoi a zu Sarah loe to ahmuen ah aphum hoi hmaek.
11 It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
Abraham duek pacoengah, Sithaw mah Issak to tahamhoihaih paek; Issak loe Beer Lahai Roi taengah khosak.
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
Sarah ih tamna Izip tanuh, Hagar mah Abraham han sak pae ih, Abraham capa Ishmael ih caanawk kawng loe hae tiah oh.
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Ishmael caanawk ih ahmin loe, angmacae acaeng anghumhaih ahmin baktih toengah, calu ah Nebajoth, Keder, Adbeel, Mibsam;
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish hoi Kedemah;
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their clans.
hae kaminawk loe Ishmael ih caa ah oh o, to tiah ahmin kaom kaminawk loe, angmacae ih vangpui, angmacae misa abuephaih baktih toengah, acaeng hatlai hnetto ukkung ah oh o roep.
17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
Ishamael loe saning cumvai qui thum, sarihto hing; a hinghaih qui apet moe, duek pacoengah, angmah ih kaminawk khaeah angkuem.
18 They lived from Havilah to Shur, which is near Egypt, all the way to Asshur. He settled near all his kinsmen.
Anih ih caanawk loe Assyria prae caehhaih loklam, Havilah hoi Izip prae ni angyae bang ih Shur vangpui khoek to khosak o; anih loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk boih hma ah duek.
19 These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
Abraham capa, Issak kawng loe hae tiah oh; Abraham mah Issak to sak;
20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.
Issak loe Padan Aram ahmuen ah kaom, Syria acaeng Bethuel ih canu, Syria acaeng Laban ih tanuh, Rebekah to zu ah lak naah, saning qui palito oh boeh.
21 Isaac prayed for his wife, because she was barren. And God was moved by his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
A zu loe caa kaak pongah, Issak mah a zu hanah Angraeng khaeah lawkthuih pae; Angraeng mah lawkthuihaih lok to tahngaih pae pongah, a zu Rebekah loe zokpomh.
22 The children struggled together within her. She said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" She went to inquire of God.
A zok thung ih nawkta loe maeto hoi maeto ang-et hoi khing; to naah amno mah, Tipongah hae tiah oh vai? tiah poek. To pongah lokdueng hanah Angraeng khaeah a caeh.
23 And he 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."
Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Na zok thungah kami acaeng hnetto oh; na zok thung hoiah tuinuen kalah acaeng hnetto tacawt tih; acaeng maeto loe kalah acaeng maeto pongah thacak kue ueloe, kacoeh mah kanawk ih tok to sah pae tih, tiah a naa.
24 When the time came for her to give birth, look, there were twins in her womb.
Nawkta zahhaih tue phak naah, anih zok thung ih nawkta loe angphae.
25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
Tacawt hmaloe loe ngan to thim dung, a tak loe amui cing ah oh; to pongah anih to Esau, tiah ahmin phui.
26 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.
To pacoengah amnawk to tapen; a ban hoiah Esau ih khok tahmawh to patawnh; to pongah anih to Jakob, tiah ahmin sak; Rebakah mah nihnik to sak naah, Issak loe saning qui tarukto oh boeh.
27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
Nawkta hnik loe qoeng hoi tahang, Esau loe moi kat kop kami, moi zoep thaih kami ah oh; toe Jakob loe kaom duem kami ah oh moe, kahni imthung ah oh.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for wild animals, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Issak loe taw ih moi to caak pongah Esau to palung, toe Rebekah mah loe Jakob to palung.
29 Now Jacob was cooking stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
Nito naah loe Jakob mah caak koi maeto thongh, to naah Esau loe taw hoiah angzoh moe, zok amthlam parai pongah,
30 Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.
Esau mah Jakob khaeah, Na thongh ih kamling huep caak koi to na paek thoem ah, zok amthlam parai boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah anih ih ahmin to Edom, tiah sak.
31 Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."
To naah Jakob mah, Calu ah na ohhaih to vaihniah kai khaeah na zaw ah, tiah a naa.
32 Esau said, "Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"
To naah Esau mah, Khenah, ka duek tom boeh; calu ah ohhaih loe timaw atho oh? tiah a thuih.
33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
Jakob mah vaihniah kai khaeah lokkamhaih sah ah, tiah a naa. Esau mah anih khaeah lokkamhaih sak pacoengah, calu ah ohhaih to Jakob khaeah a zawh.
34 Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
To pacoengah Jakob mah takaw hoi peh to Esau hanah paek; anih mah caak moe, naek pacoengah, angthawk moe, a caeh. To tiah Esau mah calu ah ohhaih to khet patoek.
