Genesis 25
1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
Abraham akaoa mke mwingine; jina lake aliitwa Ketura.
2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Akamzalia Zimrani, Jokshani, Medani, Midiani, Ishbaki, na Shua.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
Jokshani akamzaa Sheba na Dedani. Wana wa Dedani walikuwa ni Waashuru, Waletushi, na Waleumi.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, 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 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,
Abraham akampatia Isaka vitu vyote alivyokuwa navyo.
6 but Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Abraham’s concubines. While he still lived, he sent them away from Isaac his son, 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 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.
Hizi ndizo zilikuwa siku za miaka ya uhai wake Abraham alizoishi, miaka 175.
8 Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at 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 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is near 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 from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
Shamba hili Abraham alilinunua kwa watoto wa Hethi. Abraham akazikwa pale pamoja na Sara mkewe.
11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
Baada ya kifo cha Abraham, Mungu akambariki Isaka mwanae, na Isaka akaishi karibu na Beerlalahairoi.
12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.
Na sasa hawa ndio walikuwa wana wa Ishimaeli, mwana wa Abraham, ambaye Hajiri Mmisri mtumishi wake Sara, alizaa kwa Abraham.
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Haya ndiyo yalikuwa majina ya wana wa Ishimaeli, kuanzia mzaliwa wa kwanza: Nebayothi - mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Ishimaeli, Kedari, Adbeeli, Mibsamu,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Mishma, Duma, Masa,
15 Hadad, 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 villages, and by their encampments: 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 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit 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 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.
Walioshi toka Havila mpaka Shuri, ambayo iko karibu na Misri, kuelekea Ashuru. Waliishi kwa uadui kati yao.
19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
Haya ndiyo yalikuwa matukio kumuhusu Isaka, mwana wa Abraham: Abraham alimzaa Isaka.
20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
Isaka alikuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini alipomuoa Rebeka, binti wa ethueli Mshami wa Padani Aramu, ndugu wa Labani Mshami.
21 Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. The LORD was 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 The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” 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 The LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will 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 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 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
Wakwanza akatoka akiwa mwekundu mwili wote kama vazi la nywele. Wakamwita jina lake Esau.
26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. 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 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living 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 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.
Kisha Isaka akampenda Esau kwa sababu alikula wanyama ambao alikuwa anawinda, lakini Rebeka akampenda Yakobo.
29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
Yakobo akapika mchuzi. Esau akaja kutoka nyikani, akiwa dhaifu kutokana na njaa.
30 Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
Esau akamwambia Yakobo, “Nilishe mchuzi mwekundu. Tafadhari, nimechoka!” Na hii ndiyo sababu jina lake aliitwa Edomu.
31 Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
Yakobo akasema, “Kwanza uniuzie haki yako ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.”
32 Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
Esau akasema, “Tazama, nakaribia kufa. Ni nini kwangu haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza?”
33 Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He 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 Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So 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.
