Genesis 25
1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.
Abraham akaoa mke mwingine; jina lake aliitwa Ketura.
2 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Akamzalia Zimrani, Jokshani, Medani, Midiani, Ishbaki, na Shua.
3 And Jokshan 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 Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children 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 which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son (while he yet lived) eastward, to the east country.
Ingawaje, wakati alipokua angali akiishi, aliwapatia zawadi wana wa masuria wake na kuwapeleka katika nchi ya mashariki, mbali na Isaka, mwanae.
7 And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred and seventy five years.
Hizi ndizo zilikuwa siku za miaka ya uhai wake Abraham alizoishi, miaka 175.
8 Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years]; and was gathered to his people.
Abraham akapumua pumzi ya mwisho na akafa katika uzee mwema, mzee aliye shiba siku, na akakusanywa kwa watu wake.
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;
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 Abraham buried, and 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 his son Isaac: and Isaac dwelt by the well 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, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore 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, according to their generations: The first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; 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 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, 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 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 and seven years: and he expired and died, and was gathered to 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 dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all his brethren.
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, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
Haya ndiyo yalikuwa matukio kumuhusu Isaka, mwana wa Abraham: Abraham alimzaa Isaka.
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.
Isaka alikuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini alipomuoa Rebeka, binti wa ethueli Mshami wa Padani Aramu, ndugu wa Labani Mshami.
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.
Isaka akamwomba Yahwe kwa ajili ya mke wake kwa sababu alikuwa tasa, na Yahwe akajibu maombi yake, Rebeka mkewe akabeba mimba.
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.
Watoto hawa walipokuwa tumboni mwake wakasumbuka, naye akasema, “Kwa nini jambo hili linatokea kwangu mimi?” Akaenda kumuuliza Yahwe kuhusu jambo hili.
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.
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 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, [there were] twins in her womb.
Ulipo wadia wakati wa kujifungua, tazama, kulikuwa na mapacha ndani ya tumbo lake.
25 And the first was born red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau.
Wakwanza akatoka akiwa mwekundu mwili wote kama vazi la nywele. Wakamwita jina lake Esau.
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.
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 the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain 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 he ate of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Kisha Isaka akampenda Esau kwa sababu alikula wanyama ambao alikuwa anawinda, lakini Rebeka akampenda Yakobo.
29 And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint.
Yakobo akapika mchuzi. Esau akaja kutoka nyikani, akiwa dhaifu kutokana na njaa.
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.
Esau akamwambia Yakobo, “Nilishe mchuzi mwekundu. Tafadhari, nimechoka!” Na hii ndiyo sababu jina lake aliitwa Edomu.
31 And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birth-right.
Yakobo akasema, “Kwanza uniuzie haki yako ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.”
32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?
Esau akasema, “Tazama, nakaribia kufa. Ni nini kwangu haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza?”
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right 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 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.
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.
