< Genesis 25 >

1 Abraham married another wife; her name was Keturah.
Ebraham lụrụ nwunye ọzọ, onye aha ya bụ Ketura.
2 She had the following sons: 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. The descendants 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. These were all 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, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them to live in the east, well away from Isaac.
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 to be 175
Ebraham dị ndụ ruo narị afọ na iri afọ asaa na ise.
8 when he breathed his last and died at a good old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death.
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 that had belonged to 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 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 was living 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 genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael. His mother Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian slave.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro ezinaụlọ Ishmel nwa Ebraham onye Hega, nwanyị Ijipt ahụ na-ejere Sera ozi mụụrụ ya.
13 These were the names of the sons of Ishmael according to their family genealogy: Nebaioth (firstborn), 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,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Mishma, Duma, Masa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tema, Jetua, Nafish na Kedema.
16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these became the names of the places where they lived and camped—the twelve family rulers 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 to be 137. Then he breathed his last and died, and joined his forefathers in death.
Ishmel biri ndụ ruo narị afọ na iri afọ na asaa. Ọ nwụrụ, e mere ka ọ lakwuru ndị ya.
18 Ishmael's descendants inhabited the region from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. They were forever fighting with one other.
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 The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of Isaac.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro agbụrụ Aịzik nwa Ebraham. Ebraham bụ nna Aịzik.
20 When Isaac was 40 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 Isaac prayed to the Lord for help on behalf of his wife because she couldn't have children. The Lord answered his prayer and she became pregnant.
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 The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”
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 “You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”
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 the time came she gave birth to twins.
Mgbe oge ime ya zuru, ụmụ abụọ dị nʼakpanwa ya.
25 The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a 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 Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they 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 The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents.
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 Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while 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 Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
Otu ụbọchị, Jekọb nọ na-esi ofe mgbe Ịsọ si nʼọhịa bata. Agụụ na-agụkwa ya nke ukwuu.
30 “Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)
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 rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
Ma Jekọb zara ya, “Buru ụzọ resi m ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara gị.”
32 “Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
Ịsọ sịrị, “Gịnị bụ uru ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara bara mgbe m na-anwụ nʼagụụ?”
33 “First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
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 Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son.
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.
