1 Abraham gaɖe srɔ̃ bubu, ame si ŋkɔe nye Ketura.
And Abraham adds and takes a wife, and her name [is] Keturah;
2 Edzi Zimram, Yoksan, Medan, Midian, Isbak kple Sua na Abraham.
and she bears to him 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 has begotten Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were 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 the sons of Midian [are] Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah: all these [are] sons of Keturah.
5 Abraham tsɔ eƒe nuwo katã na Isak;
And Abraham gives all that he has 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.
and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham has, Abraham has given gifts, and sends them away from his son Isaac (in his being yet alive) eastward, to the east country.
7 Abraham ƒe agbenɔƒewo katã nɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃.
And these [are] the days of the years of the life of Abraham, which he lived, one hundred and seventy-five years;
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 expires, and dies in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered to 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 his sons Isaac and Ishmael bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite, which [is] before Mamre—
10 Teƒe siae Abraham ƒle le Hititɔ la si; afi mae woɖi Abraham kple srɔ̃a ɖo.
the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth—there Abraham has been buried, and his wife Sarah.
11 Le Abraham ƒe ku megbe la, Mawu kɔ yayra geɖewo ɖe Isak dzi. Fifia Isak ʋu yi ɖanɔ Beer Lahoi Roi.
And it comes to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blesses his son Isaac; and Isaac dwells by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.
12 Esia nye Ismael, Abraham ƒe viŋutsu, ame si Hagar, Egiptetɔ si nye Sara ƒe dɔlanyɔnu dzi na Abraham la ƒe ŋutinya.
And these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, has borne to Abraham;
13 Ismael ƒe viwoe nye: Nebayɔt, ame si nye via tsitsitɔ, Kedar, Adbel, Mibsam,
and these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 Misma, Duma, Masa,
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafis kple Kedema.
Hadar, 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 sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names, by their villages, and by their towers; twelve princes according to their peoples.
17 Mlɔeba la, Ismael va ku le esime wòxɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre, eye woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo gbɔ.
And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expires, and dies, and is gathered to 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 they dwell from Havilah to Shur, which [is] before Egypt, in [your] going toward Asshur; in the presence of all his brothers has he fallen.
19 Abraham ƒe vi Isak ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe ŋutinya yi ale. Abraham ye dzi Isak.
And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham has begotten Isaac;
20 Isak xɔ ƒe blaene esi wòɖe Rebeka, ame si nye Betuel, Arameatɔ tso Padan Aram, Laban nɔvinyɔnu ƒe vi.
and Isaac is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean, from Padan-Aram, sister of Laban the Aramean, to him for a 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.
And Isaac makes plea to YHWH before his wife, for she [is] barren: and YHWH accepts his plea, and his wife Rebekah conceives,
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 struggle together within her, and she says, “If [it is] right—why [am] I thus?” And she goes to seek YHWH.
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 YHWH says to her, “Two nations [are] in your womb, and two peoples from your bowels are parted; and the [one] people is stronger than the [other] people; and the older serves the younger.”
24 Le nyateƒe me la, edzi evenɔviwo.
And her days to bear are fulfilled, and behold, twins [are] in her womb;
25 Ɖa dzĩ nɔ gbãtɔ ŋu abe lãfuwue wòdo ene! Ale woyɔe be “Esau.”
and the first comes out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name 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 afterward his brother has come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau’s heel, and one calls his name Jacob; and Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing them.
27 Esi ɖeviawo tsi la, Esau zu adela xɔŋkɔ aɖe, ke Yakob ya zu ame fafa aɖe si lɔ̃a aƒemenɔnɔ.
And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with] hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob [is] a plain man, inhabiting 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.
and Isaac loves Esau, for [his] game [is] in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.
29 Gbe ɖeka la, Yakob nɔ detsi ƒom esime Esau gbɔ tso adegbe.
And Jacob boils stew, and Esau comes in from the field, and he [is] weary;
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 says to Jacob, “Please let me eat some of this red-red thing, for I [am] weary”; therefore [one] has called his name Edom;
31 Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, ekema tsɔ wò ŋgɔgbevinyenye nam, eye nàxɔ akplẽdzĩ la.”
and Jacob says, “Sell your birthright to me today.”
32 Esau gblɔ be, “Ne dɔ le ame aɖe wum wòɖo kudo nu ɖe, viɖe kae gale eƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye ŋu nɛ?”
And Esau says, “Behold, I am going to die, and what is this to me—a birthright?”
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 says, “Swear to me today”: and he swears to him, and sells 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.
and Jacob has given bread and stew of lentils to Esau, and he eats, and drinks, and rises, and goes; and Esau despises the birthright.
