< Genesis 25 >

1 And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.
Ibulayimu n’awasa omukazi omulala erinnya lye Ketula.
2 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Yamuzaalira Zimulaani, ne Yokusaani, ne Medani, ne Midiyaani, ne Isubaki ne Suwa.
3 And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim.
Yokusaani n’azaala Seeba ne Dedani. Dedani n’azaala Asulimu, ne Letusimu ne Leumimu.
4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah.
Batabani ba Midiyaani baali Efa, ne Eferi, ne Kanoki, ne Abida ne Eruda. Abo bonna be baana n’abazzukulu ba Ketula.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
Ibulayimu yawa Isaaka byonna bye yalina.
6 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.
Naye bo abaana b’abaweereza be n’abawa birabo, n’abasiibula bwe yali ng’akyali mulamu bagende ebuvanjuba mu nsi ey’ebuvanjuba; baviire mutabani we Isaaka.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.
Ibulayimu yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu nsanvu mu etaano.
8 And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples.
Ibulayimu yafa ng’akaddiyidde ddala, nga musajja awangaalidde ddala obulungi.
9 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 —
Batabani be Isaaka ne Isimayiri ne bamuziika mu mpuku ey’e Makupeera, mu nnimiro ya Efulooni, mutabani wa Zokali Omukiiti, ebuvanjuba bwa Mamule;
10 the field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
ennimiro Ibulayimu gye yagula ku Bakiiti. Omwo Ibulayimu mwe yaziikibwa awali Saala mukazi we.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi.
Ibulayimu bwe yafa, Katonda n’awa mutabani we Isaaka omukisa, Isaaka n’abeera e Beerirakayiroyi.
12 And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isimayiri mutabani wa Ibulayimu eyazaalibwa Agali Omumisiri, omuweereza wa Saala omuwala.
13 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,
Gano ge mannya gaabwe nga bwe baddiŋŋanwako: Nebayoosi, omubereberye wa Isimayiri, ne Kedali, ne Adubeeri, ne Mibusamu,
14 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
ne Misuma, ne Duma, ne Massa,
15 Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedmah.
ne Kadadi, ne Teema, ne Yetuli, ne Nafisi ne Kedema.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments — twelve princes of their peoples.
Abo be batabani ba Isimayiri, era ago ge mannya gaabwe, mu byalo ne mu bibuga byabwe mwe baabeeranga, abafuzi kkumi na babiri buli omu n’eggwanga lye.
17 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.
Isimayiri yafa ng’awezezza emyaka kikumi mu asatu mu musanvu n’atwalibwa mu babe.
18 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.
Abantu be baatuula okuviira ddala mu Kavira ne batuuka ku Ssuuli okuliraana Misiri ku luuyi olwa Bwasuli. Ennaku zaabwe zonna baawalananga baganda baabwe.
19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isaaka, mutabani wa Ibulayimu. Ibulayimu yazaala Isaaka.
20 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.
Isaaka yalina emyaka amakumi ana, we yawasiza muwala wa Besweri Omusuuli ow’e Padanalaamu, eyayitibwanga Lebbeeka mwannyina wa Labbaani.
21 And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived.
Isaaka n’asaba Mukama ku lwa mukazi we Lebbeeka kubanga yali mugumba, Mukama n’awulira okusaba kwe, Lebbeeka naaba olubuto.
22 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.
Abaana bombi ne bagulumbira mu lubuto lwe, Lebbeeka n’agamba nti, “Obanga kiri bwe kityo, lwaki mba omulamu?” Awo n’agenda ne yeebuuza ku Mukama.
23 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.
Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Mu lubuto lwo mulimu amawanga abiri, abantu ababiri b’olizaala balibeera ba njawulo, omu alibeera w’amaanyi okusinga munne, era omukulu yaaliweereza omuto.”
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Ennaku ez’okuzaala bwe zaatuuka, laba, n’azaala abalongo nga babulenzi.
25 And the first came out red — all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Eyasooka bwe yavaayo nga mumyufu, omubiri gwe gwonna nga gufaanana ng’ekyambalo eky’ebyoya. Kyebaava bamutuuma Esawu.
26 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.
Oluvannyuma ne muganda we n’azaalibwa, omukono gwe nga gukutte ekisinziiro kya Esawu; kyebaava bamuyita Yakobo. Isaaka yalina emyaka nkaaga Lebbeeka we yazaalira abaana abo.
27 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.
Abalenzi ne bakula, Esawu n’aba muyizzi lukulwe, omuntu ow’oku ttale. Naye ye Yakobo yali musajja musirise ng’asigala waka.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob.
Isaaka n’ayagala Esawu kubanga yalyanga ku muyiggo gwe, naye Lebbeeka ye n’ayagala Yakobo.
29 And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.
Lumu Yakobo yali afumba enva, Esawu n’ajja ng’ava ku ttale; enjala ng’emuluma nnyo.
30 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.
Esawu n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Mpa mpute ku nva ezo, kubanga enjala ejula kunzita.” Kyeyava ayitibwa Edomu.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright.
Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Sooka onguze obukulu bwo.”
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me?
Esawu n’agamba nti, “Laba Ndikumpi n’okufa, obukulu bungasa ki?”
33 And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Sooka ondayirire.” Awo Esawu n’amulayirira, olwo n’aguza Yakobo obukulu bwe.
34 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.
Yakobo n’alyoka awa Esawu emmere n’enva, n’alya n’anywa, n’agolokoka n’agenda. Bw’atyo Esawu n’anyooma obukulu bwe.
