< Genesis 25 >

1 Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
Thuutha ũcio Iburahĩmu nĩ aahikirie mũtumia ũngĩ, wetagwo Ketura.
2 and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Nake akĩmũciarĩra ariũ atandatũ, na nĩo Zimirani, na Jokishani, na Medani, na Midiani, na Ishibaku na Shua.
3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
Jokishani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Sheba na Dedani; nacio njiaro cia Dedani nĩcio ciarĩ Aashuri, na Aletushi na Aleumi.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
Nao ariũ a Midiani maarĩ Efa, na Eferi, na Hanoku, na Abida na Elidaha. Acio othe maarĩ njiaro cia Ketura.
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
Nake Iburahĩmu akĩgaĩra Isaaka indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio.
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.
No arĩ o muoyo-rĩ, akĩhe ariũ a thuriya ciake iheo, agĩcooka akĩmeheranĩria na mũriũ Isaaka magĩthiĩ na kũu bũrũri wa irathĩro.
7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo mũgwanja na ĩtano.
8 And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
Iburahĩmu agĩtuĩkana na agĩkua arĩ mũthuuri mũniaru, arĩ mũkũrũ na akaingĩhia mĩaka, agĩthikwo hamwe na andũ ao arĩa maakuĩte.
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.
Nao ariũ ake, Isaaka na Ishumaeli, makĩmũthika ngurunga-inĩ ya Makipela hakuhĩ na Mamure, gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa Efironi mũrũ wa Zoharu ũrĩa Mũhiti,
10 This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
gĩthaka kĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aagũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ Ahiti. Hau nĩho Iburahĩmu aathikirwo hamwe na Sara mũtumia wake.
11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
Thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Iburahĩmu-rĩ, Ngai nĩarathimire mũriũ Isaaka ũrĩa watũũraga hakuhĩ na Biri-Lahai-Roi.
12 This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Iburahĩmu, ũrĩa waciarĩirwo Iburahĩmu nĩ Hagari ũrĩa Mũmisiri, ndungata ya Sara.
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,
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Ishumaeli, maandĩkĩtwo kũringana na ũrĩa maarũmanĩrĩire gũciarwo: Irigithathi rĩa Ishumaeli rĩarĩ Nebaiothu, rĩkarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ Kedari, na Adubeeli, na Mibisamu,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
na Mishima, na Duma, na Masa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
na Hadadi, na Tema, na Jeturu, na Nafishu, na Kedema.
16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
Acio nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Ishumaeli, na macio nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma aathani ikũmi na eerĩ a mĩhĩrĩga yao kũringana na kũrĩa maatũũraga na kambĩ ciao.
17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Ishumaeli aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩtatũ na mũgwanja. Agĩcooka agĩtuĩkana agĩkua, na agĩthikwo hamwe na andũ ao arĩa maakuĩte.
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.
Njiaro cia Ishumaeli igĩtũũra kuuma Havila nginya Shuri, gũkuhĩ na mũhaka wa Misiri werekeire bũrũri wa Ashuri. Nao magĩtũũra na rũmena na ariũ arĩa angĩ othe a ithe wao.
19 This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Isaaka mũrũ wa Iburahĩmu. Iburahĩmu nĩwe waciarire Isaaka,
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.
nake Isaaka aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna rĩrĩa aahikirie Rebeka, mwarĩ wa Bethueli ũrĩa Mũsuriata wa Padani-Aramu, na aarĩ mwarĩ wa nyina na Labani ũrĩa Mũsuriata.
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.
Isaaka agĩthaitha Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa mũtumia wake tondũ aarĩ thaata. Nake Jehova akĩigua mahooya make, na Rebeka mũtumia wake akĩgĩa nda.
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,
Natuo twana tũu tũkĩgianĩra kũu nda yake, nake akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ ũrekĩka kũrĩ niĩ nĩkĩ?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ gũtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova.
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.”
Nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩrĩ igĩrĩ irĩ nda yaku, na andũ a mĩthemba ĩĩrĩ kuuma nda yaku nĩmagatigithanio; gĩthemba kĩmwe nĩgĩgakĩria kĩrĩa kĩngĩ hinya, na ũrĩa mũkũrũ nĩagatungatĩra ũrĩa mũnini.”
24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
Na rĩrĩa ihinda rĩake rĩakinyire rĩa gũciara, agĩkorwo nĩ tũhĩĩ twa mahatha aarĩ natuo nda.
25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
Karĩa kaambire gũciarwo kaarĩ gatune na mwĩrĩ wako wothe wahaanaga ta nguo ya maguoya; tondũ ũcio magĩgatua Esaũ.
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.
Thuutha ũcio mũrũ wa nyina agĩciarwo guoko gwake kũnyiitĩte ndiira ya Esaũ; tondũ ũcio agĩtuuo Jakubu. Isaaka aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa Rebeka aaciarire twana tũu.
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.
Natuo tũmwana tũu tũgĩkũra, nake Esaũ agĩtuĩka mũguĩmi mũũgĩ, mũndũ wa werũ, no Jakubu aarĩ mũndũ mũhooreri, waikaraga hakuhĩ na mũciĩ.
28 Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Isaaka eendete Esaũ tondũ nĩ eendete nyama cia ũguĩmi, no Rebeka eendete Jakubu.
29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
Mũthenya ũmwe Jakubu nĩarugaga gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ ndune, nake Esaũ agĩũka kuuma werũ-inĩ ahũtiĩ mũno.
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.)
Akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ta he gĩtoero kĩu ũraruga! Ndĩ mũhũtu mũno!” (Nĩkĩo gĩatũmire acooke gwĩtwo Edomu.)
31 “First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
Jakubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amba ũnyenderie ũrigithathi waku!”
32 “Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
Nake Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngirie gũkua, ũrigithathi ũyũ ũkaangʼuna na kĩ?”
33 “Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
No Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amba wĩhĩte kũrĩ niĩ.” Nake akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa, akĩenderia Jakubu ũrigithathi wake.
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.
Nake Jakubu akĩhe Esaũ mũgate na gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ. Nake akĩrĩa na akĩnyua, agĩcooka agĩũkĩra agĩĩthiĩra. Tondũ ũcio Esaũ akĩnyarara ũrigithathi wake.
