< Genesis 25 >

1 And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:
Ibulayimu n’awasa omukazi omulala erinnya lye Ketula.
2 Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.
Yamuzaalira Zimulaani, ne Yokusaani, ne Medani, ne Midiyaani, ne Isubaki ne Suwa.
3 Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.
Yokusaani n’azaala Seeba ne Dedani. Dedani n’azaala Asulimu, ne Letusimu ne Leumimu.
4 But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.
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 his possessions to Isaac.
Ibulayimu yawa Isaaka byonna bye yalina.
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.
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 the days of Abraham’s life were a hundred and seventy-five years.
Ibulayimu yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu nsanvu mu etaano.
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.
Ibulayimu yafa ng’akaddiyidde ddala, nga musajja awangaalidde ddala obulungi.
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;
Batabani be Isaaka ne Isimayiri ne bamuziika mu mpuku ey’e Makupeera, mu nnimiro ya Efulooni, mutabani wa Zokali Omukiiti, ebuvanjuba bwa Mamule;
10 Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.
ennimiro Ibulayimu gye yagula ku Bakiiti. Omwo Ibulayimu mwe yaziikibwa awali Saala mukazi we.
11 And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.
Ibulayimu bwe yafa, Katonda n’awa mutabani we Isaaka omukisa, Isaaka n’abeera e Beerirakayiroyi.
12 These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara’s servant, bore unto him:
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 his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.
Gano ge mannya gaabwe nga bwe baddiŋŋanwako: Nebayoosi, omubereberye wa Isimayiri, ne Kedali, ne Adubeeri, ne Mibusamu,
14 And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
ne Misuma, ne Duma, ne Massa,
15 Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
ne Kadadi, ne Teema, ne Yetuli, ne Nafisi ne Kedema.
16 These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes.
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 the years of Ismael’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people.
Isimayiri yafa ng’awezezza emyaka kikumi mu asatu mu musanvu n’atwalibwa mu babe.
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.
Abantu be baatuula okuviira ddala mu Kavira ne batuuka ku Ssuuli okuliraana Misiri ku luuyi olwa Bwasuli. Ennaku zaabwe zonna baawalananga baganda baabwe.
19 These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isaaka, mutabani wa Ibulayimu. Ibulayimu yazaala Isaaka.
20 Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
Isaaka yalina emyaka amakumi ana, we yawasiza muwala wa Besweri Omusuuli ow’e Padanalaamu, eyayitibwanga Lebbeeka mwannyina wa Labbaani.
21 And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
Isaaka n’asaba Mukama ku lwa mukazi we Lebbeeka kubanga yali mugumba, Mukama n’awulira okusaba kwe, Lebbeeka naaba olubuto.
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.
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 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.
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 time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
Ennaku ez’okuzaala bwe zaatuuka, laba, n’azaala abalongo nga babulenzi.
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.
Eyasooka bwe yavaayo nga mumyufu, omubiri gwe gwonna nga gufaanana ng’ekyambalo eky’ebyoya. Kyebaava bamutuuma Esawu.
26 Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
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 when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
Abalenzi ne bakula, Esawu n’aba muyizzi lukulwe, omuntu ow’oku ttale. Naye ye Yakobo yali musajja musirise ng’asigala waka.
28 Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
Isaaka n’ayagala Esawu kubanga yalyanga ku muyiggo gwe, naye Lebbeeka ye n’ayagala Yakobo.
29 And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
Lumu Yakobo yali afumba enva, Esawu n’ajja ng’ava ku ttale; enjala ng’emuluma nnyo.
30 Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
Esawu n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Mpa mpute ku nva ezo, kubanga enjala ejula kunzita.” Kyeyava ayitibwa Edomu.
31 And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Sooka onguze obukulu bwo.”
32 He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?
Esawu n’agamba nti, “Laba Ndikumpi n’okufa, obukulu bungasa ki?”
33 Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Sooka ondayirire.” Awo Esawu n’amulayirira, olwo n’aguza Yakobo obukulu bwe.
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.
Yakobo n’alyoka awa Esawu emmere n’enva, n’alya n’anywa, n’agolokoka n’agenda. Bw’atyo Esawu n’anyooma obukulu bwe.
