< Genesis 25 >
1 Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
Ebraham lụrụ nwunye ọzọ, onye aha ya bụ Ketura.
2 and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Ọ mụụrụ ya Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak na Shua.
3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
Jokshan bụ nna Sheba na Dedan. Ụmụ ndị ikom Dedan bụ Ashurim, Letushim, na Leumim.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Midian bụ Efaa, Efe, Hanok, Abida, na Eldaa. Ndị a niile bụ ụmụ Ketura.
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
Ebraham nyere Aịzik ihe niile o nwere.
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.
Ebraham nyere ụmụ ndị ikom ndị iko ya nwanyị mụtara onyinye dị iche iche, zipụ ha nʼala dị nʼebe ọwụwa anyanwụ, mgbe ọ ka nọ ndụ, ka ha ghara ịnọ nwa ya nwoke Aịzik nso.
7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
Ebraham dị ndụ ruo narị afọ na iri afọ asaa na ise.
8 And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
Ebraham kubiri ume ndụ nwụọ mgbe o mere nnọọ ezigbo agadi, agadi nwoke nke ndụ juru afọ, e mere ka ọ lakwuru ndị ya.
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.
Ụmụ ya, Aịzik na Ishmel, liri ya nʼọgba Makipela nʼakụkụ Mamre, nʼala ubi Efrọn nwa Zoha onye Het,
10 This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
ala ahụ Ebraham zụrụ site nʼaka ndị Het. Ebe ahụ ka e liri Ebraham ya na Sera nwunye ya.
11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
Mgbe Ebraham nwụrụ, Chineke gọziri nwa ya nwoke Aịzik onye bi nʼoge ahụ na nso nso Bịa-Lahai-Rọị.
12 This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro ezinaụlọ Ishmel nwa Ebraham onye Hega, nwanyị Ijipt ahụ na-ejere Sera ozi mụụrụ ya.
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,
Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ndị ikom Ishmel nʼusoro ọmụmụ ha. Nebaiot bụ nwa mbụ ya. Ndị ọzọ bụ Keda, Adbel, Mibsam,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tema, Jetua, Nafish na Kedema.
16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
Ndị a bụ ụmụ Ishmel, ndị a bụkwa aha ndịisi ikwu iri na abụọ ha, dịka ebe obibi ha si dị, na dịka ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha si dị.
17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
Ishmel biri ndụ ruo narị afọ na iri afọ na asaa. Ọ nwụrụ, e mere ka ọ lakwuru ndị ya.
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.
Ụmụ ụmụ ya bi nʼala dị site na Havila ruo Shua nso nso oke ala ndị Ijipt, nʼụzọ e si aga Ashọ. Ha na ụmụnna ha ndị ọzọ ebighị nʼudo.
19 This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro agbụrụ Aịzik nwa Ebraham. Ebraham bụ nna Aịzik.
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.
Aịzik gbara iri afọ anọ mgbe ọ lụrụ Ribeka, nwa Betuel, onye Aram si nʼobodo Padan Aram, nwanne Leban, onye Aram.
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.
Aịzik kpere ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị ka o nye nwunye ya nwa nʼihi na ọ bụ nwanyị aga. Onyenwe anyị zara ekpere ya. Nwunye ya, Ribeka dịịrị ime.
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,
Ụmụ o bu nʼafọ bidoro na-alụ ọgụ nʼime afọ ya. Nʼihi nke a, o kwuru sị, “Gịnị mere ihe dị otu a ji eme m?” Ya mere, ọ gara jụta ase nʼaka Onyenwe anyị.
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.”
Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Mba abụọ dị gị nʼafọ, ụzọ mba abụọ dị nʼime gị ka a ga-ekewa. Otu ụzọ ga-adị ike karịa nke ọzọ, nke okenye ga-ejere nke nta ozi.”
24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
Mgbe oge ime ya zuru, ụmụ abụọ dị nʼakpanwa ya.
25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
Ahụ nwa nke mbụ buru ụzọ pụta na-acha uhie uhie, ahụ ya niile dịka uwe ajị. Nʼihi ya, ha kpọrọ aha ya Ịsọ.
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.
Emesịa, nwanne ya pụtara, ma aka ya jidere ikiri ụkwụ Ịsọ. Nʼihi ya, a kpọrọ aha ya Jekọb. Aịzik gbara iri afọ isii mgbe Ribeka mụrụ ha.
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.
Ha abụọ toro, Ịsọ ghọrọ onye ọka nʼịchụ nta, onye na-epiogharị nʼọhịa, ebe Jekọb bụ nwoke dị nwayọọ, onye na-anọ nʼetiti ụlọ ikwu.
28 Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Aịzik hụrụ Ịsọ nʼanya nʼihi na ụtọ anụ Ịsọ na-egbute nʼọhịa na-adị ya mma, ma Ribeka hụrụ Jekọb nʼanya.
29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
Otu ụbọchị, Jekọb nọ na-esi ofe mgbe Ịsọ si nʼọhịa bata. Agụụ na-agụkwa ya nke ukwuu.
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.)
Ịsọ rịọrọ Jekọb sị, “Nyetụ m ụfọdụ nʼime nri a na-acha uhie uhie ị na-esi ka m rie, nʼihi na agụụ na-agụ m hie nne.” (Ọ bụ ihe a mere e ji na-akpọ ya Edọm.)
31 “First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
Ma Jekọb zara ya, “Buru ụzọ resi m ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara gị.”
32 “Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
Ịsọ sịrị, “Gịnị bụ uru ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara bara mgbe m na-anwụ nʼagụụ?”
33 “Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
Jekọb sịrị ya, “Buru ụzọ ṅụọrọ m iyi.” Ya mere, ọ ṅụụrụ ya iyi, sị otu a resi Jekọb ọnọdụ ọkpara ya.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb nyere Ịsọ achịcha na ofe lentil o siri. O riri, ṅụọkwa, bilie ọtọ pụọ. Ya mere Ịsọ ledara ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara nna ya anya.
