Genesis 25
1 Then Abraham took again a wife, and her name was Keturah.
Abrahamu alioa mke mwingine, ambaye jina lake aliitwa Ketura.
2 And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Yishbak, and Shuach.
Huyu alimzalia Zimrani, Yokshani, Medani, Midiani, Ishbaki na Shua.
3 And Yokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Yokshani alikuwa baba wa Sheba na Dedani, wazao wa Dedani walikuwa Waashuri, Waletushi na Waleumi.
4 And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Chanoch, and Abida', and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Wana wa Midiani walikuwa Efa, Eferi, Hanoki, Abida na Eldaa. Hawa wote walikuwa uzao wa Ketura.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
Abrahamu akamwachia Isaki kila kitu alichokuwa nacho.
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.
Lakini Abrahamu alipokuwa bado hai, akawapa watoto wa masuria wake zawadi, kisha akawaondoa waende kuishi pande za mashariki mbali na mwanawe Isaki.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, one hundred seventy and five years.
Kwa jumla, Abrahamu aliishi miaka 175.
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.
Ndipo Abrahamu akapumua pumzi ya mwisho na akafa akiwa mwenye umri mzuri, mzee aliyeshiba siku, naye akakusanywa pamoja na watu wake.
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;
Watoto wake Isaki na Ishmaeli wakamzika katika pango la Makpela karibu na Mamre, katika shamba lililokuwa la Efroni mwana wa Sohari Mhiti,
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, with Sarah his wife.
Shamba ambalo Abrahamu alilinunua kwa Wahiti. Hapo ndipo Abrahamu alipozikwa pamoja na mkewe Sara.
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.
Baada ya kifo cha Abrahamu, Mungu akambariki mwanawe Isaki, ambaye baadaye aliishi karibu na Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Now theses are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham.
Hivi ndivyo vizazi vya Ishmaeli mtoto wa Abrahamu, ambaye mjakazi wake Sara, Hagari Mmisri, alimzalia Abrahamu.
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,
Haya ndiyo majina ya wana wa Ishmaeli, yaliyoorodheshwa kulingana na jinsi walivyozaliwa: Mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Ishmaeli ni Nebayothi, akafuatia Kedari, Adbeeli, Mibsamu,
14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Mishma, Duma, Masa,
15 Chadad, and Tema, Yetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadadi, Tema, Yeturi, Nafishi 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.
Hawa walikuwa wana wa Ishmaeli na haya ni majina ya viongozi wa makabila kumi na mawili kulingana na makao yao na kambi zao.
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.
Kwa jumla Ishmaeli aliishi miaka 137. Akapumua pumzi ya mwisho, akafa, naye akakusanywa pamoja na watu wake.
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.
Wazao wa Ishmaeli waliishi kuanzia nchi ya Havila hadi Shuri, karibu na mpaka wa Misri, unapoelekea Ashuru. Hao waliishi kwa uhasama na ndugu zao wote.
19 And these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac.
Hivi ndivyo vizazi vya Isaki mwana wa Abrahamu. Abrahamu akamzaa Isaki,
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.
Isaki alikuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini alipomwoa Rebeka binti Bethueli Mwaramu kutoka Padan-Aramu, nduguye Labani Mwaramu.
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.
Isaki akamwomba Bwana kwa ajili ya mke wake, kwa sababu alikuwa tasa. Bwana akajibu maombi yake na Rebeka mkewe akapata mimba.
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.
Watoto wakashindana tumboni mwake, akasema, “Kwa nini haya yanatokea kwangu?” Kwa hiyo akaenda kumuuliza Bwana.
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.
Bwana akamjibu, “Mataifa mawili yamo tumboni mwako, na mataifa hayo mawili kutoka ndani yako watatenganishwa. Mmoja atakuwa na nguvu zaidi kuliko mwingine, na yule mkubwa atamtumikia yule mdogo.”
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Wakati wake wa kujifungua ulipotimia, walikuwepo mapacha wa kiume tumboni mwake.
25 And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Wa kwanza kuzaliwa alikuwa mwekundu, mwili wake wote ulikuwa kama mtu aliyevaa vazi lenye nywele; wakamwita jina lake Esau.
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.
Baadaye, ndugu yake akatoka, mkono wake ukiwa umemshika Esau kisigino; akaitwa jina lake Yakobo. Isaki alikuwa mwenye miaka sitini Rebeka alipowazaa.
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.
Watoto wakakua, naye Esau akakuwa mwindaji hodari, mtu wa mbugani, wakati Yakobo alikuwa mtu mtulivu, mwenye kukaa nyumbani.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Isaki, ambaye alikuwa anapendelea zaidi nyama za porini, alimpenda Esau, bali Rebeka alimpenda Yakobo.
29 And Jacob at one time boiled pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.
Siku moja Yakobo alipika mchuzi wa dengu, Esau akarudi kutoka porini akiwa na njaa kali.
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.
Esau akamwambia Yakobo, “Haraka, nipe huo mchuzi mwekundu! Nina njaa kali sana!” (Hii ndiyo sababu pia aliitwa Edomu.)
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy right of first-born.
Yakobo akamjibu, “Niuzie kwanza haki yako ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.”
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; and what profit then can the right of first-born be to me?
Esau akasema, “Tazama, mimi niko karibu ya kufa, itanifaa nini haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza?”
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him, and he sold his right of first-born unto Jacob.
Yakobo akamwambia, “Niapie kwanza.” Hivyo Esau akamwapia, akamuuzia Yakobo haki yake ya kuzaliwa.
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.
Ndipo Yakobo akampa Esau mkate na ule mchuzi wa dengu. Akala na kunywa, kisha akainuka akaenda zake. Kwa hiyo Esau alidharau haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.
