Genesis 25
1 Then Abraham took again a wife, and her name was Keturah.
UAbrahama wasebuya wathatha umfazi, lebizo lakhe linguKetura.
2 And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Yishbak, and Shuach.
Wasemzalela uZimrani loJokishani loMedani loMidiyani loIshibaki loShuwa.
3 And Yokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
UJokishani wasezala uShebha loDedani. Lamadodana kaDedani ayengamaAshuri lamaLetushi lamaLewumi.
4 And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Chanoch, and Abida', and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Njalo amadodana kaMidiyani ayengoEfa loEferi loHanoki loAbida loElidaha. Wonke la ngamadodana kaKetura.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
UAbrahama wasemupha uIsaka konke ayelakho.
6 But unto the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was yet living, eastward, unto the east country.
Kodwa kumadodana abafazi abancane uAbrahama ayelabo uAbrahama wanika izipho; wawasusa kuIsaka indodana yakhe, esaphila, wawathuma empumalanga elizweni lempumalanga.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, one hundred seventy and five years.
Lalezi zinsuku zeminyaka yempilo kaAbrahama ayiphilayo, iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
8 Then Abraham departed this life, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
UAbrahama wasephela, wafa eseluphele kuhle emdala enele, wabuthelwa ezizweni zakibo.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zochar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
UIsaka loIshmayeli amadodana akhe basebemngcwaba obhalwini lweMakaphela, esiqintini sikaEfroni indodana kaZohari umHethi, esiqondene leMamre,
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, with Sarah his wife.
isiqinti uAbrahama asithenga emadodaneni akaHethi; lapho uAbrahama wangcwatshwa loSara umkakhe.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lachai-roi.
Kwasekusithi emva kokufa kukaAbrahama, uNkulunkulu wambusisa uIsaka indodana yakhe; uIsaka wasehlala emthonjeni iLahayi-Royi.
12 Now theses are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham.
Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaIshmayeli indodana kaAbrahama, uHagari umGibhithekazi, incekukazi kaSara, amzalela uAbrahama.
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebayoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Lala ngamabizo amadodana kaIshmayeli ngamabizo awo njengokuzalwa kwawo; izibulo likaIshmayeli nguNebayothi, loKedari loAdibeli loMibisama
14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
loMishima loDuma loMasa,
15 Chadad, and Tema, Yetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
uHadadi loTema, uJeturi, uNafishi loKedema;
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.
la ngamadodana kaIshmayeli, njalo la ngamabizo awo ngemizana yawo langezinqaba zawo, iziphathamandla ezilitshumi lambili ngezizwe zawo.
17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred and thirty and seven years: and he departed this life and died; and was gathered unto his people.
Njalo le yiminyaka yempilo kaIshmayeli, iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa; wasephela, wafa, wabuthelwa ebantwini bakibo.
18 And they dwelt from Chavilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.
Basebehlala kusukela eHavila kusiya eShuri ephambi kweGibhithe, ekuhambeni usiya eAsiriya; wahlala phambi kobuso babafowabo bonke.
19 And these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac.
Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaIsaka indodana kaAbrahama; uAbrahama wazala uIsaka.
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian, to himself as wife.
UIsaka wayeseleminyaka engamatshumi amane mhla ethatha uRebeka, indodakazi kaBethuweli umSiriya wePadani-Arama, udadewabo kaLabani umSiriya, ukuba ngumkakhe.
21 And Isaac entreated the Lord in behalf of his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
UIsaka wasemncengela umkakhe eNkosini, ngoba wayeyinyumba; iNkosi yasincengeka ngaye, kwaze kwathi uRebeka umkakhe wathatha isisu.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why did I desire this? And she went to inquire of the Lord.
Abantwana babebindana-ke ngaphakathi kwakhe; wasesithi: Uba kunjalo, kungani nginje? Wasesiyabuza iNkosi.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
INkosi yasisithi kuye: Izizwe ezimbili zisesizalweni sakho, izizwe ezimbili zizakwehlukana emibilini yakho. Njalo esinye isizwe sizakuba lamandla kulesinye isizwe, futhi omkhulu uzakhonza omncinyane.
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Kwathi sezigcwalisekile insuku zakhe zokubeletha, khangela-ke, amaphahla esiswini sakhe.
25 And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Kwasekuphuma owokuqala ebomvana, yena wonke enjengesembatho soboya; ngakho bamutha ibizo lakhe bathi nguEsawu.
26 And after that came his brother out, his hand holding on to Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
Njalo emva kwalokho kwaphuma umfowabo, lesandla sakhe sibambelele esithendeni sikaEsawu; basebebiza ibizo lakhe uJakobe. LoIsaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ekuzalweni kwabo.
27 And the boys grew up: and Esau was an expert hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
Abafana basebekhula; uEsawu wasesiba ngumzingeli ohlakaniphileyo, umuntu weganga; loJakobe umuntu obekekileyo ehlala emathenteni.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Njalo uIsaka wayemthanda uEsawu ngoba wadla inyama yenyamazana yakhe; kodwa uRebeka wathanda uJakobe.
29 And Jacob at one time boiled pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.
Kwathi uJakobe esephekile ukudla okuphekiweyo, kwasekufika uEsawu evela egangeni, ekhathele.
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Let me swallow down, I pray thee, some of that yonder red pottage, for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom.
UEsawu wasesithi kuJakobe: Ake ungivumele ngiginye kokubomvu lokho okubomvu, ngoba ngikhathele. Ngalokhu babiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi uEdoma.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy right of first-born.
UJakobe wasesithi: Ngithengisela lamuhla ilungelo lobuzibulo bakho.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; and what profit then can the right of first-born be to me?
UEsawu wasesithi: Khangela, sengizakufa; njalo liyini kimi ilungelo lobuzibulo?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him, and he sold his right of first-born unto Jacob.
UJakobe wasesithi: Funga kimi lamuhla. Wasefunga kuye, wathengisa ilungelo lobuzibulo bakhe kuJakobe.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he did eat and drink, and he rose up, and went his way; thus Esau despised the birthright.
UJakobe wasenika uEsawu isinkwa lokudla okuphekiweyo kwamalentili; wasesidla wanatha, wasukuma wahamba; ngalokho uEsawu wadelela ilungelo lobuzibulo bakhe.
