< Genesis 25 >

1 And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:
Thuutha ũcio Iburahĩmu nĩ aahikirie mũtumia ũngĩ, wetagwo Ketura.
2 Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.
Nake akĩmũciarĩra ariũ atandatũ, na nĩo Zimirani, na Jokishani, na Medani, na Midiani, na Ishibaku na Shua.
3 Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.
Jokishani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Sheba na Dedani; nacio njiaro cia Dedani nĩcio ciarĩ Aashuri, na Aletushi na Aleumi.
4 But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.
Nao ariũ a Midiani maarĩ Efa, na Eferi, na Hanoku, na Abida na Elidaha. Acio othe maarĩ njiaro cia Ketura.
5 And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac.
Nake Iburahĩmu akĩgaĩra Isaaka indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio.
6 And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.
No arĩ o muoyo-rĩ, akĩhe ariũ a thuriya ciake iheo, agĩcooka akĩmeheranĩria na mũriũ Isaaka magĩthiĩ na kũu bũrũri wa irathĩro.
7 And the days of Abraham’s life were a hundred and seventy-five years.
Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo mũgwanja na ĩtano.
8 And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: 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 And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre;
Nao ariũ ake, Isaaka na Ishumaeli, makĩmũthika ngurunga-inĩ ya Makipela hakuhĩ na Mamure, gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa Efironi mũrũ wa Zoharu ũrĩa Mũhiti,
10 Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.
gĩthaka kĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aagũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ Ahiti. Hau nĩho Iburahĩmu aathikirwo hamwe na Sara mũtumia wake.
11 And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.
Thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Iburahĩmu-rĩ, Ngai nĩarathimire mũriũ Isaaka ũrĩa watũũraga hakuhĩ na Biri-Lahai-Roi.
12 These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara’s servant, bore unto him:
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Iburahĩmu, ũrĩa waciarĩirwo Iburahĩmu nĩ Hagari ũrĩa Mũmisiri, ndungata ya Sara.
13 And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.
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 And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
na Mishima, na Duma, na Masa,
15 Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
na Hadadi, na Tema, na Jeturu, na Nafishu, na Kedema.
16 These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, 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 And the years of Ismael’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto 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 And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.
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 These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Isaaka mũrũ wa Iburahĩmu. Iburahĩmu nĩwe waciarire Isaaka,
20 Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
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 And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
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 struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult 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 answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall 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 And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
Na rĩrĩa ihinda rĩake rĩakinyire rĩa gũciara, agĩkorwo nĩ tũhĩĩ twa mahatha aarĩ natuo nda.
25 He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.
Karĩa kaambire gũciarwo kaarĩ gatune na mwĩrĩ wako wothe wahaanaga ta nguo ya maguoya; tondũ ũcio magĩgatua Esaũ.
26 Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
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 And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
Natuo tũmwana tũu tũgĩkũra, nake Esaũ agĩtuĩka mũguĩmi mũũgĩ, mũndũ wa werũ, no Jakubu aarĩ mũndũ mũhooreri, waikaraga hakuhĩ na mũciĩ.
28 Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
Isaaka eendete Esaũ tondũ nĩ eendete nyama cia ũguĩmi, no Rebeka eendete Jakubu.
29 And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
Mũthenya ũmwe Jakubu nĩarugaga gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ ndune, nake Esaũ agĩũka kuuma werũ-inĩ ahũtiĩ mũno.
30 Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
Akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ta he gĩtoero kĩu ũraruga! Ndĩ mũhũtu mũno!” (Nĩkĩo gĩatũmire acooke gwĩtwo Edomu.)
31 And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
Jakubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amba ũnyenderie ũrigithathi waku!”
32 He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?
Nake Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngirie gũkua, ũrigithathi ũyũ ũkaangʼuna na kĩ?”
33 Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
No Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amba wĩhĩte kũrĩ niĩ.” Nake akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa, akĩenderia Jakubu ũrigithathi wake.
34 And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.
Nake Jakubu akĩhe Esaũ mũgate na gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ. Nake akĩrĩa na akĩnyua, agĩcooka agĩũkĩra agĩĩthiĩra. Tondũ ũcio Esaũ akĩnyarara ũrigithathi wake.
