Genesis 25
1 And Abraham took another wife and her name, was Keturah;
Abraham akaoa mke mwingine; jina lake aliitwa Ketura.
2 and she bare to him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, —and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Akamzalia Zimrani, Jokshani, Medani, Midiani, Ishbaki, na Shua.
3 And, Yokshan, begat Sheba and Dedan, —and, the sons of Dedan, were Asshurim and Letushim, and Leummim.
Jokshani akamzaa Sheba na Dedani. Wana wa Dedani walikuwa ni Waashuru, Waletushi, na Waleumi.
4 And the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher and Hanoch, and Abida. and Eldaah, —all these, were the sons of Keturah.
Wana wa Midiani walikuwa ni Efa, Eferi, Hanoki, Abida, na Eldaa. Hawa wote walikuwa ni wana wa Ketura.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;
Abraham akampatia Isaka vitu vyote alivyokuwa navyo.
6 but, to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, —and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived, eastward unto the land of the east.
Ingawaje, wakati alipokua angali akiishi, aliwapatia zawadi wana wa masuria wake na kuwapeleka katika nchi ya mashariki, mbali na Isaka, mwanae.
7 Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.
Hizi ndizo zilikuwa siku za miaka ya uhai wake Abraham alizoishi, miaka 175.
8 So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto his people,
Abraham akapumua pumzi ya mwisho na akafa katika uzee mwema, mzee aliye shiba siku, na akakusanywa kwa watu wake.
9 And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him, in the cave of Machpelah, —in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is over against Mamre;
Isaka na Ishmaili, wanae wakamzika katika pango la Makipela, katika shamba la Efron mwana wa Soari Mhiti, pango lililokuwa karibu na Mamre.
10 the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, —there, was buried Abraham, with Sarah his wife.
Shamba hili Abraham alilinunua kwa watoto wa Hethi. Abraham akazikwa pale pamoja na Sara mkewe.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son, —and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
Baada ya kifo cha Abraham, Mungu akambariki Isaka mwanae, na Isaka akaishi karibu na Beerlalahairoi.
12 Now, these, are the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham;
Na sasa hawa ndio walikuwa wana wa Ishimaeli, mwana wa Abraham, ambaye Hajiri Mmisri mtumishi wake Sara, alizaa kwa Abraham.
13 and these, are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names after their generations, —the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam;
Haya ndiyo yalikuwa majina ya wana wa Ishimaeli, kuanzia mzaliwa wa kwanza: Nebayothi - mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Ishimaeli, Kedari, Adbeeli, Mibsamu,
14 and Mishma and Dumah, and Massa;
Mishma, Duma, Masa,
15 Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Hadadi, Tema, Yeturi, Nafishi, na Kedema.
16 these, same, are the sons of Ishmael and these, their names, by their villages and by their encampments, —twelve princes, after their tribes.
Hawa ndio walikuwa wana wa Ishimaeli, na haya ndiyo majina yao, kwa vijiji vyao, na katika vituo vyao; Maseyidi kumi na wawili kufuatana na kabila zao.
17 And these, are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years, —and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto his people.
Hii ndiyo ilikuwa miaka ya Ishimaeli, miaka 137: akapumua pumzi yake ya mwisho na akafa, na akakusanywa pamoja na watu wake.
18 And they stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur, which is over against Egypt, as thou goest in towards Assyria, —over against all his brethren, he settled down.
Walioshi toka Havila mpaka Shuri, ambayo iko karibu na Misri, kuelekea Ashuru. Waliishi kwa uadui kati yao.
19 And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;
Haya ndiyo yalikuwa matukio kumuhusu Isaka, mwana wa Abraham: Abraham alimzaa Isaka.
20 and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to wife.
Isaka alikuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini alipomuoa Rebeka, binti wa ethueli Mshami wa Padani Aramu, ndugu wa Labani Mshami.
21 So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Isaka akamwomba Yahwe kwa ajili ya mke wake kwa sababu alikuwa tasa, na Yahwe akajibu maombi yake, Rebeka mkewe akabeba mimba.
22 And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.
Watoto hawa walipokuwa tumboni mwake wakasumbuka, naye akasema, “Kwa nini jambo hili linatokea kwangu mimi?” Akaenda kumuuliza Yahwe kuhusu jambo hili.
23 And Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.
Yahwe akamwambia, “Mataifa mawili yako katika tumbo lako, na mataifa haya mawili yatatengana ndani yako. Taifa moja litakuwa lenye nguvu kuliko lingine, na yule mkubwa atamtumikia mdogo.
24 Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.
Ulipo wadia wakati wa kujifungua, tazama, kulikuwa na mapacha ndani ya tumbo lake.
25 And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,
Wakwanza akatoka akiwa mwekundu mwili wote kama vazi la nywele. Wakamwita jina lake Esau.
26 And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,
Baada ya hapo ndugu yake akatoka. Mkono wake ukiwa umeshika kisigino cha Esau. Akaitwa jina lake Yakobo. Isaka alikuwa na umri wa miaka sitini wakati mke wake alipo wazaa hawa watoto.
27 And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.
Vijana hawa wakakua, Hesau akawa mwindaji hodari, mtu wa nyikani; lakini Yakobo alikuwa mtu mkimya, aliye tumia muda wake akiwa katika mahema.
28 And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!
Kisha Isaka akampenda Esau kwa sababu alikula wanyama ambao alikuwa anawinda, lakini Rebeka akampenda Yakobo.
29 And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.
Yakobo akapika mchuzi. Esau akaja kutoka nyikani, akiwa dhaifu kutokana na njaa.
30 So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.
Esau akamwambia Yakobo, “Nilishe mchuzi mwekundu. Tafadhari, nimechoka!” Na hii ndiyo sababu jina lake aliitwa Edomu.
31 And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.
Yakobo akasema, “Kwanza uniuzie haki yako ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.”
32 And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?
Esau akasema, “Tazama, nakaribia kufa. Ni nini kwangu haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza?”
33 And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Yakobo akasema, “Kwanza uape kwangu mimi,” kwa hiyo Esau akaapa kiapo na kwa njia hii akawa ameuza haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza kwa Yakobo.
34 And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!
Yakobo akampatia Esau mkate pamoja na mchuzi wa dengu. Akala na kunywa, kisha akainuka na akaenda zake. Kwa njia hii Esau akawa ameidharau haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.
