< Genesis 25 >

1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
Thuutha ũcio Iburahĩmu nĩ aahikirie mũtumia ũngĩ, wetagwo Ketura.
2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Nake akĩmũciarĩra ariũ atandatũ, na nĩo Zimirani, na Jokishani, na Medani, na Midiani, na Ishibaku na Shua.
3 And Jokshan brings forth Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Jokishani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Sheba na Dedani; nacio njiaro cia Dedani nĩcio ciarĩ Aashuri, na Aletushi na Aleumi.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
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 that he had unto Isaac.
Nake Iburahĩmu akĩgaĩra Isaaka indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio.
6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto 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 these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo mũgwanja na ĩtano.
8 Then Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; 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 his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
Nao ariũ ake, Isaaka na Ishumaeli, makĩmũthika ngurunga-inĩ ya Makipela hakuhĩ na Mamure, gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa Efironi mũrũ wa Zoharu ũrĩa Mũhiti,
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
gĩthaka kĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aagũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ Ahiti. Hau nĩho Iburahĩmu aathikirwo hamwe na Sara mũtumia wake.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
Thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Iburahĩmu-rĩ, Ngai nĩarathimire mũriũ Isaaka ũrĩa watũũraga hakuhĩ na Biri-Lahai-Roi.
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
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 the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
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 Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
na Mishima, na Duma, na Masa,
15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
na Hadadi, na Tema, na Jeturu, na Nafishu, na Kedema.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
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 these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the spirit and 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 they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria: and 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 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham brings forth Isaac:
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Isaaka mũrũ wa Iburahĩmu. Iburahĩmu nĩwe waciarire Isaaka,
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
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 implored the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was implored of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Isaaka agĩthaitha Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa mũtumia wake tondũ aarĩ thaata. Nake Jehova akĩigua mahooya make, na Rebeka mũtumia wake akĩgĩa nda.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of 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 the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; 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 days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Na rĩrĩa ihinda rĩake rĩakinyire rĩa gũciara, agĩkorwo nĩ tũhĩĩ twa mahatha aarĩ natuo nda.
25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Karĩa kaambire gũciarwo kaarĩ gatune na mwĩrĩ wako wothe wahaanaga ta nguo ya maguoya; tondũ ũcio magĩgatua Esaũ.
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
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 the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
Natuo tũmwana tũu tũgĩkũra, nake Esaũ agĩtuĩka mũguĩmi mũũgĩ, mũndũ wa werũ, no Jakubu aarĩ mũndũ mũhooreri, waikaraga hakuhĩ na mũciĩ.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Isaaka eendete Esaũ tondũ nĩ eendete nyama cia ũguĩmi, no Rebeka eendete Jakubu.
29 And Jacob cook pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
Mũthenya ũmwe Jakubu nĩarugaga gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ ndune, nake Esaũ agĩũka kuuma werũ-inĩ ahũtiĩ mũno.
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray you, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
Akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ta he gĩtoero kĩu ũraruga! Ndĩ mũhũtu mũno!” (Nĩkĩo gĩatũmire acooke gwĩtwo Edomu.)
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day your birthright.
Jakubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amba ũnyenderie ũrigithathi waku!”
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
Nake Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngirie gũkua, ũrigithathi ũyũ ũkaangʼuna na kĩ?”
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
No Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amba wĩhĩte kũrĩ niĩ.” Nake akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa, akĩenderia Jakubu ũrigithathi wake.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
Nake Jakubu akĩhe Esaũ mũgate na gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ. Nake akĩrĩa na akĩnyua, agĩcooka agĩũkĩra agĩĩthiĩra. Tondũ ũcio Esaũ akĩnyarara ũrigithathi wake.
