Genesis 25
1 Abrahamu anakwatira mkazi wina dzina lake Ketura.
And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.
2 Iyeyu anamubalira Zimurani, Yokisani, Medani, Midiyani, Isibaki ndi Suwa.
And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Yokisani anabereka Seba ndi Dedani ndipo zidzukulu za Dedani ndiwo Aasuri, Aletusi, ndi Aleumi.
And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim.
4 Ana aamuna a Midiyani anali, Efai, Eferi, Hanoki, Abida ndi Elida. Onsewa anali zidzukulu za Ketura.
And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah.
5 Abrahamu anasiyira Isake chilichonse anali nacho.
And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
6 Koma pamene anali ndi moyo, Abrahamu anapereka mphatso kwa ana aakazi ake ena onse. Kenaka anawatumiza ku dziko la kummawa kuti akhale kutali ndi mwana wake Isake.
And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward to the east country.
7 Abrahamu anakhala ndi moyo zaka 175.
And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Abrahamu anamwalira atakalamba kwambiri ndipo anakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake.
And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples.
9 Ana ake, Isake ndi Ismaeli anamuyika mʼphanga la Makipela pafupi ndi Mamre, mʼmunda umene kale unali wa Efroni mwana wa Zohari Mhiti,
And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which was opposite to Mamre —
10 uwu ndi munda umene Abrahamu anagula kwa Ahiti. Kumeneko Abrahamu anakayikidwa pamodzi ndi mkazi wake Sara.
the field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 Atamwalira Abrahamu, Mulungu anadalitsa mwana wake Isake, amene ankakhala pafupi ndi Beeri-lahai-roi (chitsime cha Wamoyo Wondipenya).
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Nazi zidzukulu za Ismaeli, mwana wa Abrahamu amene wantchito wa Sara, Hagara Mwigupto uja, anaberekera Abrahamu.
And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.
13 Awa ndi mayina a ana a Ismaeli monga mwa mndandanda wa mabadwidwe awo: Nebayoti ndiye anali mwana woyamba wa Ismaeli; kenaka Kedara, Adibeeli, Mibisamu,
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to their generations: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 Misima, Duma, Masa,
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadadi, Tema, Yeturi, Nafisi ndi Kedema;
Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedmah.
16 Amenewa ndi ana a Ismaeli ndi mayina awo monga mwa midzi ndi misasa yawo. Anali olamulira mafuko khumi ndi awiri.
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments — twelve princes of their peoples.
17 Ismaeli anakhala ndi moyo zaka 137. Iye anamwalira ndipo anakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake.
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples.
18 Zidzukulu za Ismaeli zinkakhala mʼdera la pakati pa Havila ndi Suri, kummwera kwa Igupto, mukamapita cha ku Asuri. Choncho anakhala kummawa kwa abale awo.
And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt, as one goes towards Assyria. He settled before the face of all his brethren.
19 Iyi ndi mbiri ya Isake mwana wa Abrahamu. Abrahamu anabereka Isake
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.
20 ndipo Isake anali ndi zaka makumi anayi pamene anakwatira Rebeka mwana wa Betueli Mwaramu wa ku Padanaramu mlongo wa Labani Mwaramu.
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.
21 Isake anapempherera mkazi wake kwa Yehova popeza iye anali wosabereka. Yehova anayankha pemphero lake ndipo mkazi wake Rebeka anatenga pathupi.
And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived.
22 Koma pamene anawo amalimbana mʼmimba mwake, iye anati, “Bwanji zikundichitikira zoterezi?” Choncho anapita kukafunsa kwa Yehova.
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.
23 Yehova anati kwa iye, “Udzabala mafuko awiri a anthu olimbana, ndipo magulu awiri a anthu ochokera mwa iwe adzasiyana; fuko limodzi lidzakhala la mphamvu kuposa linzake, ndipo wamkulu adzatumikira wamngʼono.”
And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Pamene nthawi inakwana yakuti abeleke, Rebeka anaberekadi mapasa.
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Woyamba kubadwa anali wofiira, ndipo thupi lake lonse linali ngati chovala cha ubweya; choncho anamutcha Esau.
And the first came out red — all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 Kenaka mʼbale wake anabadwa atagwira chidendene cha Esau; choncho anamutcha Yakobo. Isake anali ndi zaka 60 pamene Rebeka anabereka mapasawa.
And after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
27 Anyamatawo anakula ndipo Esau anakhala katswiri wosaka, munthu wamʼthengo, pamene Yakobo anali munthu wofatsa, wokonda kukhala pa nyumba.
And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents.
28 Isake ankakonda Esau chifukwa cha nyama za kutchire zomwe ankakonda kudya, koma Rebeka ankakonda Yakobo.
And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 Tsiku lina pamene Yakobo ankaphika chakudya, Esau anabwera kuchokera kuthengo ali wolefuka ndi njala.
And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.
30 Iye anati kwa Yakobo, “Tandipatsako phala lofiiralo, ndimwe! Ndalefuka ndi njala.” (Nʼchifukwa chake amatchedwanso Edomu).
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red — the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.
31 Yakobo anayankha, “Choyamba undigulitse ukulu wako.”
And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright.
32 Esau anati, “Chabwino, ine ndatsala pangʼono kufa, ukulu undithandiza chiyani?”
And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me?
33 Koma Yakobo anati, “Lumbira kwa ine choyamba.” Kotero Esau analumbiradi, ndipo anagulitsa ukulu wake kwa Yakobo.
And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Choncho Yakobo anamupatsa Esau buledi ndi phala lofiira lija. Iye anadya ndi kumwa, nanyamuka kumapita. Motero Esau anapeputsa ukulu wake wachisamba uja.
And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright.
