¹It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”

²Huan, aman, ngaiin, ka tek mahmaha, ka sih ni ding lah ka theikei a.

²He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.

³Huchiin tuin hehpihtakin na vanzat, na thal bawm leh na thalpeu, tawi inla, va gamvak inla, sakhi hon vamat sakin;

³Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.

⁴Huan, kasih ma a kon vualjawl theihna dingin, ka deihlam takin meh dingin limtakin honbawl sak inla, ka nek ding ka kiangah hontawi in, achia.

⁴Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”

⁵Huan, Isaakin a tapa Esau a houpih lai Rebekain a naja a. Huan, Esau sakhi benga honpo dingin a gamvakta hi.

⁵Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

⁶Huan, Rebekain, a tapa Jakob kiangah, ngaiin, na pan na u Esau kianga thu agen ka ja,

⁶Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

⁷Sakhi honpuakin, ka neka, ka sih ma a Toupa ma a kon vualzawlna dingin, meh limtakin honbawl sakin, chiin.

⁷‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’

⁸Huchiin, ka tapa, tuin kon thupiak bangin ka thu juiin.

⁸Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.

⁹Gan hon lakah vahoh inla, kelnou nih hoih tak, huai a kipan in, honla in; huchiin huai a deihlam takin na pa adingin meh limtakin ka na bawl ding:

⁹Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good young goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.

¹⁰Huan, a sih ma a honvualjawl sak dingin, a nek dingin na pa kiangah na vahohpih ding ahi, chiin, a gen a.

¹⁰You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”

¹¹Huan, Jakobin, a nu Rebeka kiangah, ngaiin, ka u Esau mi mulhau ahia, kei bel mi nel ka hi,

¹¹Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

¹²Ka pan a honna jawt vialvial kha dinga, huchiin amah adingin khempa bang ka honghi dinga, vualjawl gentaklouhin hamsiat kizon lel ka hi kei ding maw, achia.

¹²What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”

¹³Huan, a nu in, a kiangah, ka tapa, na hamsiat muh ding ka tungah om hen: ka thu jui inla, hon valakin, achia.

¹³His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”

¹⁴Huan, a kuana, a vala a, a nu kiangah a honpai piha huchiin, a nu in a pa deihlam takin meh limtakin a bawl hi.

¹⁴He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

¹⁵Huan, Rebekain a tapa upa Esau puansilh hoihtak, inna a kianga om a la a, a tapa naupang jaw Jakob a silhsak a:

¹⁵Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.

¹⁶Huan, kelnou vunte leng a khut ah leh a ngawng nelna khawngah a phah a;

¹⁶She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.

¹⁷Huan, meh limtak leh tanghou a bawlte a tapa Jakob khut ah a pia hi.

¹⁷She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

¹⁸Huan, amah a pa kiangah a hoha, Pa aw, achia: huan, aman, hiai ah ka om; ka tapa, kua zopen na hia? achia.

¹⁸He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”

¹⁹Huan, Jakobin, a pa kiangah, na tapa upajaw Esau ka hi; non sawl bangin ka hihkhinta: hehpihtakin thou inla, non vualjawlna dingin tu inla, ka sakhi sa nein, achia.

¹⁹Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”

²⁰Huan, Isaakin, a tapa kiangah, ka tapa, bangchidan ahia, hong man gang na tel chia? A chia.

²⁰Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because Yahweh your God gave me success.”

²¹Huan, Isaakin, Jakob kiangah, ka tapa, hehpihtakin hongnai dih ve, ka honna jawt vialvial ding, ka tapa Esau na hina na ngel hiam, achia.

²¹Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”

²²Huan, Jakobin a pa Isaak a vanaih a; huan, aman a najawt vialviala, a aw lah Jakob aw hiven, a khut khawng lah Esau khut hiven achia.

²²Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”

²³Huchiin, a u Esau khut bangin a khut a mul jiakin amah a theikei hi: huchiin a vualjawlta hi.

²³He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.

²⁴Huan, ka tapa Esau ngei na hi maw? achia. Huan, aman, hi e, a chi hi.

²⁴He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”

²⁵Huan, aman, hontawi naiin, huchiin ka hon vualjawlna dingin ka tapa sakhi sa ka nane ding, achia. Huan, a hontawi naia, a neta a: uain leng a honlaka, huai leng a dawn hi.

²⁵He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.

²⁶Huan, a pa Isaakin, a kiangah, ka tapa, hongnai in, hon tawpin, achia.

²⁶His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”

²⁷Huan, a vanaih a, a tawpa, huan, aman a puansilh gim a ja a, a vualjawl hi, enin, ka tapa gim Toupa vualjawl gam gim bang ahi:

²⁷He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.

²⁸Huchiin, Pathianin van daitui leh, lei hoihna leh, buh tampi leh uain tampi hon pia hen:

²⁸God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

²⁹Nam tuamtuam ten na nasem u henla, chi tuamtuam ten chibai honbuk uhen: na unaute tungah kumpipain om inla; na nu taten chibai honbuk uhen: honhamsiatte hamsiatin om uhenla, honvualjawl peuhmah vualjawlin om uhen, a chi hi.

²⁹Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”

³⁰Huan, hichi ahia, Isaak in Jakob a vualjawl zoh takin, Jakob a pa Isaak kianga kipan a pawt khe man lela, a u Esau sabeng a hong tunga.

³⁰It happened, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

³¹Huan, aman leng mehlim takin a bawla, a pa kiangah, Pa, thou inla, non vualjawlna dingin na tapa sakhi sa nein, achia.

³¹He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”

³²Huan, a pa Isaakin, a kiangah, kua na hia? Achia. Huan, aman, na tapa, na tapa upajaw, Esau ka hi, achia.

³²Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”

³³Huchiin Isaak nakpiin a ling zungzunga, sakhi man, ka kianga a sa hontawi, na hongtun ma a ka nanek khit veka, ka vualjawlpa kua ahia? Ahi, amah vualjawlin a omta himhim ding achia.

³³Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”

³⁴Esauin a pa thugen a jakin nakpi tak leh khase mahmahin a kapta a, a pa kiangah, pa aw, kei, kei leng honvualjawl mahmah ve aw, achi hi.

³⁴When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”

³⁵Huan, aman, na nauin a hong khema, nang vualjawlna a honlaksakta hi, achia.

³⁵He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”

³⁶Huan, aman, a min dia Jakob a chih uh dik mahmah hi lou hia? Nihvei a honsuanta; ka ta masa hihna a honlaksaka; huan, ngaiin, tuin kei vualjawlna a honlaksak nawnta hi, a chi a. Huan, amah mahin, vualjawlna kei dia honsit saklou maw? a chi a.

³⁶He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”

³⁷Huan, Isaakin a dawnga, Esau kiangah, Ngaiin, amah na kumpipain ka bawla, a unau tengteng leng a sikha dingin ka pe veka, buh leh uain leng ka vakta; nang a din, ka tapa, bang honhihsak ding ka hia? a chi a.

³⁷Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?”

³⁸Huan, Esauin, a pa kiangah, Pa, vualjawlna khat kia ahi maw na neih? Pa aw, kei leng honvualjawl mahmah ve, achia.

³⁸Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

³⁹Huan, Esau ngaihtakin a kapta, huan, a pa Isaakin a dawnga, a kiangah, ngaiin, na omna ding lei hoihna tak leh, tunglama kipana van daitui kiakna ah ahi, na om ding;

³⁹Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.

⁴⁰Na namsauin ahi, na hin ding, na nau na leng na sem ding; huan, hichi a dinga, na kitutkhiak hun chiangin a hakkol na ngawnga kipanin na singkhe ta ding, a chi a.

⁴⁰By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck.”

⁴¹Huan, Pa in a vualjawl jiak in Esauin Jakob a mudah a: huan, Esauin a lungsim in, ka pa sunni ding a nai ta a, huai hun chiangin ka nau Jakob ka that mai ding, a chi a.

⁴¹Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

⁴²Huan, atapa upa jaw Esau thugen Rebeka kiangah a hilh ua; huchiin, mi a sawla, atapa naupang jaw Jakob a sama, a kiangah, ngaiin, na u Esau in na tungthu ah, nangmah honhihlup tumin ka kinem ahi.

⁴²The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.

⁴³Huchiin, ka tapa tu in ka thumangin; thou inla, Haran khua a ka sanggampa Laban kiangah taimangin;

⁴³Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.

⁴⁴Na u hehna a daih mateng a kiangah ni bangjah hiam va om phot in:

⁴⁴Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away;

⁴⁵Na u hehna na tunga adaih a, a tunga na thilhih a mangngilh ma teng: Huan, adaih a, a mangngilh chiangin mi ka sawldinga, huai a kipan ka hong pi khesak ding: bang dingin ni khat a na nih ua hon tan ding ka hia? a chi a.Huan, Rebeka in, Isaak kiangah, Heth tanu te jiakin hin ka chimtak mahmah: Jakobin, hiai gam nungak, hiai Heth tanu te laka te bang, ji dia a neih nawn ngial le jaw, kei dingin hin bang a phatuam dia? A chi a.

⁴⁵until your brother’s anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”

⁴⁶Huan, Rebeka in, Isaak kiangah, Heth tanu te jiakin hin ka chimtak mahmah: Jakobin, hiai gam nungak, hiai Heth tanu te laka te bang, ji dia a neih nawn ngial le jaw, kei dingin hin bang a phatuam dia? A chi a.

⁴⁶Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
