< Genesis 25 >

1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.
Abrayami abalaki mwasi mosusu, kombo na ye « Ketura. »
2 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Ketura abotelaki ye: Zimirani, Yokishani, Medani, Madiani, Ishibaki mpe Shuwa.
3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim and Leummim.
Yokishani azalaki tata ya Saba mpe Dedani. Tala bato oyo bazalaki bakitani ya Dedani: Bato ya Ashuri, ya Letushi mpe ya Lewumi.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah.
Madiani azalaki tata ya Efa, ya Eferi, ya Enoki, ya Abida mpe ya Elida. Bato oyo nyonso bazalaki bakitani ya Ketura.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
Abrayami atikaki biloko na ye nyonso na maboko ya Izaki.
6 But to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son (while he yet lived) eastward, to the east country.
Kasi wana Abrayami azalaki nanu na bomoi, apesaki bakado epai ya bana mibali ya bamakangu na ye mpe atindaki bango na mokili ya este, mosika ya mwana na ye ya mobali Izaki.
7 And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred and seventy five years.
Abrayami awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku sambo na mitano.
8 Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years]; and was gathered to his people.
Bongo Abrayami akataki motema mpe akufaki. Sima na ye kotonda mikolo mpe kokoma mobange makasi, akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which [is] before Mamre;
Bana na ye ya mibali, Izaki mpe Isimaeli, bakundaki ye na lilita ya mabanga ya Makipela pene ya Mamire, kati na elanga ya Efroni, mwana mobali ya Tsoari, moto ya Iti.
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
Abrayami asombaki elanga yango epai ya bato ya Iti. Ezalaki kuna nde bakundaki mwasi na ye Sara.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac: and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
Sima na kufa ya Abrayami, Nzambe apambolaki Izaki, mwana mobali ya Abrayami. Izaki azalaki kovanda pene ya Lakai-Royi.
12 Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.
Tala molongo ya bakitani ya Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Abrayami, oyo Agari, moto ya Ejipito mpe mwasi mosali ya Sara, abotelaki Abrayami.
13 And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Tala bakombo ya bana mibali ya Isimaeli kolanda ndenge babotamela: Nebayoti, mwana mobali ya liboso ya Isimaeli; Kedari, Adibeli, Mibisami,
14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Mishima, Duma, Masa,
15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Adadi, Tema, Yeturi, Nafishi mpe Kedima.
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.
Bango nde bazalaki bana mibali zomi na mibale ya Isimaeli. Moko na moko azalaki mokambi ya libota, mpe apesaki kombo na ye na mboka na ye mpe na molako na ye.
17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael; a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he expired and died, and was gathered to his people.
Isimaeli awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku misato na sambo. Akataki motema mpe akufaki; akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye.
18 And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all his brethren.
Bakitani na ye bazalaki kovanda na mokili oyo ezalaki kati na Avila mpe Shuri, pene ya Ejipito, na nzela oyo ekenda na Asiri. Bazalaki tango nyonso kovanda lokola banguna ya bandeko na bango nyonso.
19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
Tala libota ya Izaki, mwana mobali ya Abrayami. Abrayami azalaki tata ya Izaki,
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
mpe Izaki azalaki na mibu tuku minei ya mbotama tango abalaki Rebeka, mwana mwasi ya Betweli, moto ya Arami ya Padani-Arami, mpe ndeko mwasi ya Labani, moto ya Arami.
21 And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Izaki abondelaki Yawe mpo na Rebeka, mwasi na ye, oyo azalaki ekomba. Yawe ayanolaki libondeli na ye, mpe Rebeka akomaki na zemi.
22 And the children struggled together within her: and she said, If [it is] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
Kati na libumu na ye, bana bazalaki kowelana. Alobaki: « Likambo nini oyo ekomeli ngai? » Boye, akendeki kotuna Yawe.
23 And the LORD said to her, Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels: and [the one] people shall be stronger than [the other] people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
Yawe alobaki na ye: « Bikolo mibale ezali kati na libumu na yo, mpe mabota mibale ekabwana ekobima na libumu na yo; ekolo moko ekoleka ekolo mosusu na makasi, mpe kulutu akosalela leki. »
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, [there were] twins in her womb.
Wana tango na ye ya kobota ekokaki, azalaki na mapasa mibale kati na libumu na ye.
25 And the first was born red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau.
Lipasa ya liboso oyo abimaki azalaki motane mpe nzoto na ye mobimba ezalaki etonda na bapwale lokola elamba ya bapwale; yango wana babengaki ye « Ezawu. »
26 And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was] sixty years old when she bore them.
Sima na yango, ndeko na ye mpe abimaki, loboko na ye ekanga litindi ya Ezawu; yango wana bapesaki ye kombo « Jakobi. » Izaki azalaki na mibu tuku motoba ya mbotama tango Rebeka abotaki.
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man dwelling in tents.
Bana mibali yango bakolaki. Ezawu akomaki mobomi makasi ya banyama mpe azalaki kolekisa tango mingi na zamba; Jakobi azalaki moto ya kimia, azalaki kosepela kovanda na ndako.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Izaki abandaki kosepela mingi na misuni, yango wana alingaki mingi Ezawu; mpe Rebeka alingaki mingi Jakobi.
29 And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint.
Mokolo moko, wana Jakobi azalaki kolamba elubu, Ezawu oyo awutaki na bilanga ayaki na kolemba.
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
Ezawu alobaki na Jakobi: — Nalembi makasi; tika ngai nalia elubu oyo, elubu oyo kaka. Yango wana bazalaki mpe kobenga ye Edomi.
31 And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birth-right.
Jakobi azongisaki: — Tekela ngai liboso boyaya na yo.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?
Ezawu azongisaki: — Tala, nakokufa na nzala. Boyaya na ngai ekopesa ngai nini?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob.
Kasi Jakobi alobaki: — Lapa liboso ndayi. Ezawu alapaki ndayi epai ya Jakobi; mpe na nzela wana, atekaki boyaya na ye epai ya Jakobi.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birth-right.
Jakobi apesaki Ezawu lipa mpe elubu ya misili. Ezawu aliaki mpe amelaki, bongo atelemaki mpe akendeki. Ezali ndenge wana nde Ezawu atiolaki boyaya na ye.
