1 A: ibalaha: me da uda eno lai amo ea dio da Gedula.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 Gedula da A: ibalaha: mema mano eno lai. Ilia dio da Simala: ne, Yogasia: ne, Mida: ne, Midia: ne, Isaba: ge, amola Siua.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Yogasia: ne ea mano da Siba amola Dida: ne. Didane ea mano fifi asi da Asiulaide fi, Ledusaide fi, amola Liumaide fi.
Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
4 Midia: ne ea mano fifi da Ifa, Ife, Ha: noge, Abaida, amola Eleda: ia. Amo huluane da Gedula ea mano fifi asi esalu.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 A: ibalaha: me da bogoloba, ea nana liligi huluane amo Aisagema i.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Be e da esala, e da mano amo ea uda eno ema lai, ilima e da hahawane iasu liligi i. Amalalu, e da amo manolali, Aisage fisima: ne, gusu soge amoga asunasi.
But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
7 A: ibalaha: me da ode bagohame amo 175 esalu.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Amalalu, e da mifo lalusu amo fisili, bogoi. E da ea aowalali dunu ilima buhagi.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Ea mano aduna (Aisage amola Isiama: ile) da Ma: gafila gele gelabo (Ma: melei amoga gusudili gala) amo ganodini uli dogone Sali. Musa: Ifalone (Hidaide dunu Souha ea mano) da amo sogebi gagui galu.
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
10 A: ibalaha: me da musa: amo sogebi, Hidaide dunuma bidi lai. Amoga A: ibalaha: me amola ea uda Sela gilisili uli dogoi ba: i.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 A: ibalaha: me da bogoi dagoi. Amo fa: no, Gode da A: ibalaha: me egefe amo Aisage hahawane dogolegele ilegele fidi. Aisage da amo esoga “Esalebe Gode da na Ba: lala Hano Uli Dou” amo gadenene esalu. Isiama: ile Egaga Fifi Misi
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 A: ibalaha: me ea mano eno amo Isiama: ile, da Sela ea udigili hawa: hamosu Idibidi uda amo Ha: iga amoga lai. Ea hou da hagudu dedei diala.
(These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
13 Isiama: ile egefelali ilia dio da dedei. Hidadea da magobo, amola fa: no magobo bagia, amola dogoa, amola ufi agoane dedei. Magobo mano da Niba: iode, amalu Gide amalu A: dabili, amalu Mibasa: me, amalu
These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Misima amalu Duma amalu Ma: sa amalu
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Ha: ida: de amalu Dima amalu Yide amalu Na: ifisi amalu Gedima.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Amo da Isiama: ile egefelali. Ilia da fi gidayale gala ilia aowalali fi esalu. Ilia dio amo ilia da ilia moilai amola fisisu amoma asuli dagoi.
The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
17 Isiama: ile da ode 137 esalu. Amalalu, e da mifo labe fisili, bogoi dagoi.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Isiama: ile ea lalelegei fi da soge amo da Idibidi amoma gusu galu amola logo Asilia moilaiga ahoasu gadenene dialu. Amo soge da Hafila soge amola Sioua hafoga: i soge amo dogoa dialebe ba: i. Amo dunu fi da A: ibalaha: me ea mano eno ilima hame gilisi.
His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
19 A: ibalaha: me egefe Aisage ea sia: dedei da agoane.
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Aisage da ode 40 esalu, e da Lebega (Bediuele, A:ila: mia dunu Badane Alame sogega esalu amo ea mano amola A: ila: mia dunu La: iba: ne amo ea dalusi) amo lai dagoi.
and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
21 Aisage ea uda da aligime esalu. Amaiba: le Aisage da Godema sia: ne gadoi. Gode da amo sia: ne gadosu nabi, amola Lebega da abula agui ba: i.
Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
22 Lebega da mano aduna lalelegemu galu. Be amo mano aduna da mae lalelegele, ea hagomo ganodini esala gegenanu. Lebega da fofogadigili Hina Godema amane adole ba: i, “Amo hou da abuli nama doaga: bela: ?”
She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
23 Hina Gode da ema bu adole i, “Fi aduna da dia hagomo ganodini esala. Dima da fi aduna lalelegemu. Afae da eno ea gasa baligimu. Magobo mano da eya ea hawa: hamosu dunu ba: mu.”
Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
24 Amalalu, Lebega da dunu mano aduna lalelegei.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Bisili lai da haliga: me agoane ba: i. Ea gadofo da hinabo bagade galu. Amaiba: le ilia da ema Iso dio asuli.
The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
26 Fa: no mabe mano da Iso amo ea emo muguni amoga gagui dalebe ba: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da ema Ya: igobe dio asuli. Ela lalelegei eso amoga Aisage da ode 60 lai dagoi.
Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
27 Ela asigilaloba, Iso da benea ahoasu hou bagade dawa: i. E da gadili odagiabaga lalumu hanai galu. Be Ya: igobe e da asaboi dunu. E da diasuga esalumusa: hanai galu.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
28 Aisage da Iso ea dadi gala: i liligi manusa: hanaiba: le, Isoma bagade hahawane galu. Be Lebega ea dogolegei mano da Ya: igobe.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Eso afaega Ya: igobe da da: iyene amola hano gilisili gobele, ha: i manu ida: iwane hamoi. Iso logo sedagaga benea ahoabeba: le, bagadewane ha: iba: le, sidimu agoaiwane, diasuga doaga: i.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 “Hedolo! Na bogosa: besa: le, amo yoi ha: i manu nama ima,” Iso da Ya: igobema amane sia: i. (Amaiba: le, ilia da ema Idome [Yoi] dio asuli.)
He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
31 Ya: igobe da ema amane sia: i, “Defea! Be hidadea dia magobo mano lamu nana liligi ilegei, amo nama lama: ne sia: ma.”
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Iso e bu adole i, “Defea! Amo lama! Na bogosea, amo liligi da hamedei liligi agoane ba: mu. Be ha: i manu ima!”
Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
33 Ya: igobe da bu adole i, “Hidadea di da magobo mano nana liligi ilegei amo nama imunu gasa bagade ilegele sia: ma!” Amaiba: le, Iso da amo magobo mano lamu nana liligi ilegei huluane Ya: igobema ima: ne, gasa bagade ilegele sia: i.
Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Amalalu, Ya: igobe da agi amola da: iyene hano amo Isoma i. E da amo nanu, wa: legadole yolesili asi. Iso da ea magobo mano lamu nana hahawane liligi ilegei amo hamedei liligi agoane dawa: beba: le, udigili fisi.
Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
