Genesis 25
1 Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
Abraham gaɖe srɔ̃ bubu, ame si ŋkɔe nye Ketura.
2 and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Edzi Zimram, Yoksan, Medan, Midian, Isbak kple Sua na Abraham.
3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
Yoksan dzi Seba kple Dedan. Dedan ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Asurim, Letusim kple Leunim.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
Midian ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida kple Elda. Woawoe nye Abraham kple srɔ̃a evelia, Ketura ƒe dzidzimeviwo.
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
Abraham tsɔ eƒe nuwo katã na Isak;
6 But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
ke ena nu vi siwo eƒe ahiãviwo dzi nɛ la hã, eye wòɖo wo ɖe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, ale be womanɔ teƒe ɖeka kple Isak o.
7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
Abraham ƒe agbenɔƒewo katã nɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃.
8 And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
Abraham mia nu, eye eƒe agbe nu tso le ƒe geɖe xɔxɔ megbe. Enɔ agbe wòde edeƒe, eye wòyi ɖe tɔgbuiawo gbɔ.
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
Via ŋutsuwo, Isak kple Ismael, ɖii ɖe kpeto la me le Makpela si te ɖe Mamre ŋu, le Hititɔ Efron, Zoha ƒe vi ƒe anyigba dzi.
10 This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
Teƒe siae Abraham ƒle le Hititɔ la si; afi mae woɖi Abraham kple srɔ̃a ɖo.
11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
Le Abraham ƒe ku megbe la, Mawu kɔ yayra geɖewo ɖe Isak dzi. Fifia Isak ʋu yi ɖanɔ Beer Lahoi Roi.
12 This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
Esia nye Ismael, Abraham ƒe viŋutsu, ame si Hagar, Egiptetɔ si nye Sara ƒe dɔlanyɔnu dzi na Abraham la ƒe ŋutinya.
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Ismael ƒe viwoe nye: Nebayɔt, ame si nye via tsitsitɔ, Kedar, Adbel, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Misma, Duma, Masa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafis kple Kedema.
16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
Viŋutsu wuieve siawo nye Ismael vi siwo va zu fia na to wuieveawo, eye wotsɔ woƒe ŋkɔwo na toawo.
17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
Mlɔeba la, Ismael va ku le esime wòxɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre, eye woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo gbɔ.
18 Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
Ismael ƒe dzidzimevi siawo kaka ɖe anyigba dzi tso Havila va se ɖe Sur si te ɖe Egipte ƒe liƒowo ŋu le Asiria gome. Wowɔa aʋa edziedzi kple wo nɔewo.
19 This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Abraham ƒe vi Isak ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe ŋutinya yi ale. Abraham ye dzi Isak.
20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
Isak xɔ ƒe blaene esi wòɖe Rebeka, ame si nye Betuel, Arameatɔ tso Padan Aram, Laban nɔvinyɔnu ƒe vi.
21 Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
Isak ɖe kuku na Yehowa be wòana vi ye kple Rebeka, elabena le ƒe geɖewo ƒe srɔ̃gbenɔnɔ me la, womedzi vi o. Mlɔeba la, Rebeka va fɔ fu.
22 But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
Edze na Rebeka abe ɖevi evee nɔ avu wɔm le eƒe dɔ me ene! Egblɔ be, “Nyemate ŋu ado dzi anɔ te ɖe nu sia nu o.” Ale wòbia gbe Yehowa tso eŋu.
23 and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Viŋutsu eve siwo le dɔ me na wò la azu dukɔ eve siwo aʋli ho kple wo nɔewo. Ɖeka asesẽ wu evelia, eye tsitsitɔ azu subɔla na ɖevitɔ.”
24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
Le nyateƒe me la, edzi evenɔviwo.
25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
Ɖa dzĩ nɔ gbãtɔ ŋu abe lãfuwue wòdo ene! Ale woyɔe be “Esau.”
26 After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
Wodzi ɖevi evelia wòlé Esau ƒe afɔkpodzi ɖe asi. Nu sia tae wona ŋkɔe be Yakob si gɔmee nye, “Nuhala” ɖo. Isak xɔ ƒe blaade esi wòdzi evenɔviawo.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
Esi ɖeviawo tsi la, Esau zu adela xɔŋkɔ aɖe, ke Yakob ya zu ame fafa aɖe si lɔ̃a aƒemenɔnɔ.
28 Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Ɖeviawo dometɔ si Isak lɔ̃ wu lae nye Esau, le adelã si wòtsɔna vaa aƒe mee ta; ke esi Rebeka lɔ̃ wu lae nye Yakob.
29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
Gbe ɖeka la, Yakob nɔ detsi ƒom esime Esau gbɔ tso adegbe.
30 He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
Esau bia Yakob be, “Nɔvinye, dɔ le wuyem vevie. Na wò akplẽdzĩ aɖem maɖu.” Esia ta wona megbeŋkɔe be “Edom” si gɔmee nye “Akplẽdzĩ.”
31 “First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, ekema tsɔ wò ŋgɔgbevinyenye nam, eye nàxɔ akplẽdzĩ la.”
32 “Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
Esau gblɔ be, “Ne dɔ le ame aɖe wum wòɖo kudo nu ɖe, viɖe kae gale eƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye ŋu nɛ?”
33 “Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
Yakob xɔ edzi gblɔ be, “Enyo, ekema ka atam na Mawu be ŋgɔgbevinyenye la zu tɔnye.” Esau ka atam, eye wòto esia me dzra eƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye la na nɔvia suetɔ,
34 Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
eye Yakob tsɔ abolo, ayi kple dedetsi na Esau wòɖu, no tsi ɖe edzi, eye wòyi eƒe wɔnawo dzi. Ke Esau metsɔ ɖeke le eme be yeɖe asi le yeƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye ŋuti nenema o.
