Genesis 36
1 (Here is/I will now give you) a list of the descendants of Esau, whose other name was Edom.
Yeinom ne Esau a wɔfrɛ no Edom no asefoɔ.
2 Esau married three women from the Canaan region: Adah, the daughter of Elon from the Heth people-group; Oholibamah, who was the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon from the Hiv people-group;
Esau waree Kanaanfoɔ mmaa baasa. Wɔn din de Ada a ɔyɛ Hetini Elon babaa, Ana babaa Oholibama a ɔsane yɛ Hewini Sibeon nana ne
3 and Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

4 Esau’s wife Adah gave birth to Eliphaz. Basemath gave birth to Reuel.
Ada woo Elifas maa Esau. Basmat woo Reuel.
5 Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons of Esau were born while he was living in the Canaan region.
Oholibama nso woo Yeus, Yalam ne Kora. Saa nnipa a wɔabobɔ wɔn din yi ne mmammarima a Esau yerenom baasa no wowoo wɔn maa no wɔ Kanaan asase so no.
6 Jacob and Esau had very many possessions. The result was that they needed more land for their livestock. The land where they were living was not big enough for both of them. They had too much livestock. So Esau, whose other name was Edom, had taken his wives and sons and daughters and all the other members of his household, his sheep and goats and his other animals, and all the other things he had obtained in Canaan land, and they had moved to an area that was away from Jacob.
