Genesis 25
1 Abraham took another wife; her name was Keturah.
U-Abhrahama wathatha omunye umfazi okwakuthiwa nguKhethura.
2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Wamzalela uZimirani, uJokishani, uMedani, uMidiyani, u-Ishibhaki loShuwa.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Assyrian people, the Letush people, and the Leum people.
UJokishani wazala uShebha loDedani; isizukulwane sikaDedani saba ngama-Ashuri, amaLethushi lamaLehumi.
4 Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were Keturah's descendants.
Amadodana kaMidiyani kwakungu-Efa, u-Eferi, uHanokhi, u-Abhida lo-Elida. Bonke laba babeyizizukulwane zikaKhethura.
5 Abraham gave all that he owned to Isaac.
Konke u-Abhrahama ayelakho wakutshiyela u-Isaka.
6 However, while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them to the land of the east, away from Isaac, his son.
Kodwa esaphila wanika amadodana akhe awazala labafazi bakhe beceleni izipho, wabasusa eduze kwendodana yakhe u-Isaka baya elizweni lasempumalanga.
7 These were the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, 175 years.
U-Abhrahama waphila okweminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
8 Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man with a full life, and he was gathered to his people.
Lapho u-Abhrahama waphefumula okokucina njalo wafa eseluphele, eselixhegu elileminyaka eminengi; wembelwa labakibo.
9 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is near Mamre.
Amadodana akhe u-Isaka lo-Ishumayeli bamngcwaba ebhalwini lwaseMakhaphela eduze leMamure, esiqintini sika-Efroni indodana kaZohari umHithi,
10 This field Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah his wife.
isiqinti leso u-Abhrahama asithenga kumaHithi. Khonapho u-Abhrahama wangcwatshwa lomkakhe uSara.
11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.
Ngemva kokuba esefile u-Abhrahama uNkulunkulu wayibusisa indodana yakhe u-Isaka, owayehlala eBheri-Lahayi-Royi.
12 Now these were the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
Lo ngumlando wendodana ka-Abhrahama u-Ishumayeli, incekukazi kaSara uHagari eyamzalela u-Abhrahama.
13 These were the names of Ishmael's sons, according to their birth order: Nebaioth—the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
La ngamabizo abantwana baka-Ishumayeli behlelwe ngokwelamana kwabo: uNebhayothi izibulo lika-Ishumayeli, uKhedari, u-Adibheli, loMibhisamu,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
uMishima, uDuma, uMasa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
uHadadi, uThema, uJethuri, uNafishi kanye loKhedema.
16 These were Ishmael's sons, and these were their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their tribes.
La ayengamadodana ka-Ishumayeli, njalo la ngamabizo ababusi bezizwana ezilitshumi lambili kulandela ukuhlaliswa kwazo lemizi yawo.
17 These were the years of the life of Ishmael, 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
U-Ishumayeli waphila okweminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa. Waphefumula okokucina wafa, wembelwa labakibo.
18 They lived from Havilah to Ashhur, which is near Egypt, as one goes toward Assyria. They lived in hostility with each other.
Izizukulwane zakhe zakhela emangweni osuka eHavila kusiya eShuri, eduzane lomngcele waseGibhithe, nxa uqonda e-Asiriya. Njalo baphila belenzondo labafowabo bonke.
19 These were the events concerning Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
Lo ngumlando wendodana ka-Abhrahama u-Isaka. U-Abhrahama wazala u-Isaka,
20 Isaac was forty years old when he took as his wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.
u-Isaka wathi eseleminyaka engamatshumi amane obudala wathatha uRabheka indodakazi kaBhethuweli umʼAramu wasePhadani Aramu njalo engudadewabo kaLabhani umʼAramu.
21 Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife because she was childless, and Yahweh answered his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
U-Isaka wakhuleka kuThixo ekhulekela umkakhe ngoba wayeyinyumba. UThixo wawuphendula umkhuleko wakhe, umkakhe uRabheka wazithwala.
22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” She went to ask Yahweh about this.
Abantwana bafuqana phakathi kwakhe, wathi, “Kungani lokhu kusenzakala kimi?” Ngakho wasehamba wayabuza kuThixo.
23 Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from within you. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
UThixo wathi kuye, “Izizwe ezimbili zisesiswini sakho, njalo abantu ababili phakathi kwakho bazakwehlukaniswa; omunye uzakuba lamandla kulomunye, kuthi omdala uzakhonza omncinyane.”
24 When it was time for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Kwathi isikhathi sakhe sokubeletha sesifikile, kwakulamaphahla angabafana esiswini sakhe.
25 The first child came out red all over like a hairy garment. They called his name Esau.
Owabona ilanga kuqala wayebomvu, umzimba wakhe wonke ulihwanqa njengengubo yoboya; yikho bamutha bathi ngu-Esawu.
26 After that, his brother came out. His hand was grasping Esau's heel. He was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when his wife bore them.
Ngemva kwalokhu, umfowabo walandela, isandla sakhe sibambe isithende sika-Esawu; ngakho wathiwa nguJakhobe. U-Isaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ngesikhathi uRabheka ebazala.
27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a quiet man, who spent his time in the tents.
Bakhula abafana, u-Esawu waba ngumzingeli omkhulu, indoda yegangeni, kodwa uJakhobe wayeyindoda ethuleyo, engasuki ngekhaya emathenteni.
28 Now Isaac loved Esau because he ate the animals that he had hunted, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
U-Isaka owayethanda inyama yenyamazana wayethanda u-Esawu, kodwa uRabheka wayethanda uJakhobe.
29 Jacob cooked some stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was weak from hunger.
Ngesinye isikhathi uJakhobe wayepheka inyama, u-Esawu wafika evela egangeni elambile.
30 Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me with that red stew. Please, I am exhausted!” That is why his name was called Edom.
Wathi kuJakhobe, “Phangisa, akungiphe ukudla kwakho lokho osukukhanzinge kwaba bomvana! Sengifile ngendlala!” (Yikho wabizwa ngokuthi ngu-Edomi.)
31 Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”
UJakhobe waphendula wathi, “Qala ungithengisele ubuzibulo bakho.”
32 Esau said, “Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
U-Esawu wathi, “Khangela, sengisifa. Bungisiza ngani ubuzibulo lobo?”
33 Jacob said, “First swear to me,” so Esau swore an oath and in that way he sold his birthright to Jacob.
Kodwa uJakhobe wathi, “Qala ufunge kimi.” Yikho wasefunga isifungo kuye, ethengisa ubuzibulo bakhe kuJakhobe.
34 Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, then got up and went on his way. In this manner Esau despised his birthright.
Ngakho uJakhobe wasesipha u-Esawu isinkwa lokudla kwendumba eziphekwa ziluhlaza. Wadla, wanatha, wasukuma wahamba. Ngaleyondlela u-Esawu wabeyisa ubuzibulo bakhe.
