< Mose 1 25 >

1 Abraham gaɖe srɔ̃ bubu, ame si ŋkɔe nye Ketura.
And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.
2 Edzi Zimram, Yoksan, Medan, Midian, Isbak kple Sua na Abraham.
She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.
3 Yoksan dzi Seba kple Dedan. Dedan ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Asurim, Letusim kple Leunim.
And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.
4 Midian ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida kple Elda. Woawoe nye Abraham kple srɔ̃a evelia, Ketura ƒe dzidzimeviwo.
And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.
5 Abraham tsɔ eƒe nuwo katã na Isak;
Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;
6 ke ena nu vi siwo eƒe ahiãviwo dzi nɛ la hã, eye wòɖo wo ɖe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, ale be womanɔ teƒe ɖeka kple Isak o.
But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.
7 Abraham ƒe agbenɔƒewo katã nɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃.
Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.
8 Abraham mia nu, eye eƒe agbe nu tso le ƒe geɖe xɔxɔ megbe. Enɔ agbe wòde edeƒe, eye wòyi ɖe tɔgbuiawo gbɔ.
And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.
9 Via ŋutsuwo, Isak kple Ismael, ɖii ɖe kpeto la me le Makpela si te ɖe Mamre ŋu, le Hititɔ Efron, Zoha ƒe vi ƒe anyigba dzi.
And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;
10 Teƒe siae Abraham ƒle le Hititɔ la si; afi mae woɖi Abraham kple srɔ̃a ɖo.
The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.
11 Le Abraham ƒe ku megbe la, Mawu kɔ yayra geɖewo ɖe Isak dzi. Fifia Isak ʋu yi ɖanɔ Beer Lahoi Roi.
Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.
12 Esia nye Ismael, Abraham ƒe viŋutsu, ame si Hagar, Egiptetɔ si nye Sara ƒe dɔlanyɔnu dzi na Abraham la ƒe ŋutinya.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:
13 Ismael ƒe viwoe nye: Nebayɔt, ame si nye via tsitsitɔ, Kedar, Adbel, Mibsam,
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam
14 Misma, Duma, Masa,
And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafis kple Kedema.
Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 Viŋutsu wuieve siawo nye Ismael vi siwo va zu fia na to wuieveawo, eye wotsɔ woƒe ŋkɔwo na toawo.
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.
17 Mlɔeba la, Ismael va ku le esime wòxɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre, eye woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo gbɔ.
And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.
18 Ismael ƒe dzidzimevi siawo kaka ɖe anyigba dzi tso Havila va se ɖe Sur si te ɖe Egipte ƒe liƒowo ŋu le Asiria gome. Wowɔa aʋa edziedzi kple wo nɔewo.
And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.
19 Abraham ƒe vi Isak ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe ŋutinya yi ale. Abraham ye dzi Isak.
Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:
20 Isak xɔ ƒe blaene esi wòɖe Rebeka, ame si nye Betuel, Arameatɔ tso Padan Aram, Laban nɔvinyɔnu ƒe vi.
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.
21 Isak ɖe kuku na Yehowa be wòana vi ye kple Rebeka, elabena le ƒe geɖewo ƒe srɔ̃gbenɔnɔ me la, womedzi vi o. Mlɔeba la, Rebeka va fɔ fu.
Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.
22 Edze na Rebeka abe ɖevi evee nɔ avu wɔm le eƒe dɔ me ene! Egblɔ be, “Nyemate ŋu ado dzi anɔ te ɖe nu sia nu o.” Ale wòbia gbe Yehowa tso eŋu.
And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.
23 Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Viŋutsu eve siwo le dɔ me na wò la azu dukɔ eve siwo aʋli ho kple wo nɔewo. Ɖeka asesẽ wu evelia, eye tsitsitɔ azu subɔla na ɖevitɔ.”
And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.
24 Le nyateƒe me la, edzi evenɔviwo.
And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.
25 Ɖa dzĩ nɔ gbãtɔ ŋu abe lãfuwue wòdo ene! Ale woyɔe be “Esau.”
And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.
26 Wodzi ɖevi evelia wòlé Esau ƒe afɔkpodzi ɖe asi. Nu sia tae wona ŋkɔe be Yakob si gɔmee nye, “Nuhala” ɖo. Isak xɔ ƒe blaade esi wòdzi evenɔviawo.
And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27 Esi ɖeviawo tsi la, Esau zu adela xɔŋkɔ aɖe, ke Yakob ya zu ame fafa aɖe si lɔ̃a aƒemenɔnɔ.
And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 Ɖeviawo dometɔ si Isak lɔ̃ wu lae nye Esau, le adelã si wòtsɔna vaa aƒe mee ta; ke esi Rebeka lɔ̃ wu lae nye Yakob.
Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.
29 Gbe ɖeka la, Yakob nɔ detsi ƒom esime Esau gbɔ tso adegbe.
And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;
30 Esau bia Yakob be, “Nɔvinye, dɔ le wuyem vevie. Na wò akplẽdzĩ aɖem maɖu.” Esia ta wona megbeŋkɔe be “Edom” si gɔmee nye “Akplẽdzĩ.”
And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.
31 Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, ekema tsɔ wò ŋgɔgbevinyenye nam, eye nàxɔ akplẽdzĩ la.”
And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.
32 Esau gblɔ be, “Ne dɔ le ame aɖe wum wòɖo kudo nu ɖe, viɖe kae gale eƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye ŋu nɛ?”
And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?
33 Yakob xɔ edzi gblɔ be, “Enyo, ekema ka atam na Mawu be ŋgɔgbevinyenye la zu tɔnye.” Esau ka atam, eye wòto esia me dzra eƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye la na nɔvia suetɔ,
And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.
34 eye Yakob tsɔ abolo, ayi kple dedetsi na Esau wòɖu, no tsi ɖe edzi, eye wòyi eƒe wɔnawo dzi. Ke Esau metsɔ ɖeke le eme be yeɖe asi le yeƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye ŋuti nenema o.
Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
