Genesis 25
1 Abrahamu anakwatira mkazi wina dzina lake Ketura.
Abraham took another wife; her name was Keturah.
2 Iyeyu anamubalira Zimurani, Yokisani, Medani, Midiyani, Isibaki ndi Suwa.
She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Yokisani anabereka Seba ndi Dedani ndipo zidzukulu za Dedani ndiwo Aasuri, Aletusi, ndi Aleumi.
Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Assyrian people, the Letush people, and the Leum people.
4 Ana aamuna a Midiyani anali, Efai, Eferi, Hanoki, Abida ndi Elida. Onsewa anali zidzukulu za Ketura.
Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were Keturah's descendants.
5 Abrahamu anasiyira Isake chilichonse anali nacho.
Abraham gave all that he owned 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.
However, while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them to the land of the east, away from Isaac, his son.
7 Abrahamu anakhala ndi moyo zaka 175.
These were the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, 175 years.
8 Abrahamu anamwalira atakalamba kwambiri ndipo anakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake.
Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man with a full life, and he was gathered to his people.
9 Ana ake, Isake ndi Ismaeli anamuyika mʼphanga la Makipela pafupi ndi Mamre, mʼmunda umene kale unali wa Efroni mwana wa Zohari Mhiti,
Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is near Mamre.
10 uwu ndi munda umene Abrahamu anagula kwa Ahiti. Kumeneko Abrahamu anakayikidwa pamodzi ndi mkazi wake Sara.
This field Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah his wife.
11 Atamwalira Abrahamu, Mulungu anadalitsa mwana wake Isake, amene ankakhala pafupi ndi Beeri-lahai-roi (chitsime cha Wamoyo Wondipenya).
After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.
12 Nazi zidzukulu za Ismaeli, mwana wa Abrahamu amene wantchito wa Sara, Hagara Mwigupto uja, anaberekera Abrahamu.
Now these were the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, 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,
These were the names of Ishmael's sons, according to their birth order: Nebaioth—the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Misima, Duma, Masa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadadi, Tema, Yeturi, Nafisi ndi Kedema;
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Amenewa ndi ana a Ismaeli ndi mayina awo monga mwa midzi ndi misasa yawo. Anali olamulira mafuko khumi ndi awiri.
These were Ishmael's sons, and these were their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their tribes.
17 Ismaeli anakhala ndi moyo zaka 137. Iye anamwalira ndipo anakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake.
These were the years of the life of Ishmael, 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
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.
They lived from Havilah to Ashhur, which is near Egypt, as one goes toward Assyria. They lived in hostility with each other.
19 Iyi ndi mbiri ya Isake mwana wa Abrahamu. Abrahamu anabereka Isake
These were the events concerning Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20 ndipo Isake anali ndi zaka makumi anayi pamene anakwatira Rebeka mwana wa Betueli Mwaramu wa ku Padanaramu mlongo wa Labani Mwaramu.
Isaac was forty years old when he took as his wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Isake anapempherera mkazi wake kwa Yehova popeza iye anali wosabereka. Yehova anayankha pemphero lake ndipo mkazi wake Rebeka anatenga pathupi.
Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife because she was childless, and Yahweh answered his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Koma pamene anawo amalimbana mʼmimba mwake, iye anati, “Bwanji zikundichitikira zoterezi?” Choncho anapita kukafunsa kwa Yehova.
The children struggled together within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” She went to ask Yahweh about this.
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.”
Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from within you. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
24 Pamene nthawi inakwana yakuti abeleke, Rebeka anaberekadi mapasa.
When it was time for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Woyamba kubadwa anali wofiira, ndipo thupi lake lonse linali ngati chovala cha ubweya; choncho anamutcha Esau.
The first child came out red all over like a hairy garment. 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.
After that, his brother came out. His hand was grasping Esau's heel. He was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when his wife bore them.
27 Anyamatawo anakula ndipo Esau anakhala katswiri wosaka, munthu wamʼthengo, pamene Yakobo anali munthu wofatsa, wokonda kukhala pa nyumba.
The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a quiet man, who spent his time in the tents.
28 Isake ankakonda Esau chifukwa cha nyama za kutchire zomwe ankakonda kudya, koma Rebeka ankakonda Yakobo.
Now Isaac loved Esau because he ate the animals that he had hunted, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Tsiku lina pamene Yakobo ankaphika chakudya, Esau anabwera kuchokera kuthengo ali wolefuka ndi njala.
Jacob cooked some stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was weak from hunger.
30 Iye anati kwa Yakobo, “Tandipatsako phala lofiiralo, ndimwe! Ndalefuka ndi njala.” (Nʼchifukwa chake amatchedwanso Edomu).
Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me with that red stew. Please, I am exhausted!” That is why his name was called Edom.
31 Yakobo anayankha, “Choyamba undigulitse ukulu wako.”
Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”
32 Esau anati, “Chabwino, ine ndatsala pangʼono kufa, ukulu undithandiza chiyani?”
Esau said, “Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 Koma Yakobo anati, “Lumbira kwa ine choyamba.” Kotero Esau analumbiradi, ndipo anagulitsa ukulu wake kwa Yakobo.
Jacob said, “First swear to me,” so Esau swore an oath and in that way he 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.
Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, then got up and went on his way. In this manner Esau despised his birthright.
