but, to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, —and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived, eastward unto the land of the east.
7 Abraham ƒe agbenɔƒewo katã nɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃.
Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a 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.
So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto 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 buried him, in the cave of Machpelah, —in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is over against Mamre;
10 Teƒe siae Abraham ƒle le Hititɔ la si; afi mae woɖi Abraham kple srɔ̃a ɖo.
the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, —there, was buried Abraham, 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.
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son, —and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
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 son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare 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 after their generations, —the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam;
14 Misma, Duma, Masa,
and Mishma and Dumah, and Massa;
15 Hadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafis kple Kedema.

these, same, are the sons of Ishmael and these, their names, by their villages and by their encampments, —twelve princes, after their tribes.

And these, are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years, —and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto 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 stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur, which is over against Egypt, as thou goest in towards Assyria, —over against all his brethren, he settled down.
19 Abraham ƒe vi Isak ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe ŋutinya yi ale. Abraham ye dzi Isak.
And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;
20 Isak xɔ ƒe blaene esi wòɖe Rebeka, ame si nye Betuel, Arameatɔ tso Padan Aram, Laban nɔvinyɔnu ƒe vi.
and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to 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.
So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
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 sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.
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 Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.
24 Le nyateƒe me la, edzi evenɔviwo.
Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.
25 Ɖa dzĩ nɔ gbãtɔ ŋu abe lãfuwue wòdo ene! Ale woyɔe be “Esau.”
And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called 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, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,
27 Esi ɖeviawo tsi la, Esau zu adela xɔŋkɔ aɖe, ke Yakob ya zu ame fafa aɖe si lɔ̃a aƒemenɔnɔ.
And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling 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.
And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!
29 Gbe ɖeka la, Yakob nɔ detsi ƒom esime Esau gbɔ tso adegbe.
And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.
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.”
So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.
31 Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, ekema tsɔ wò ŋgɔgbevinyenye nam, eye nàxɔ akplẽdzĩ la.”
And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.
32 Esau gblɔ be, “Ne dɔ le ame aɖe wum wòɖo kudo nu ɖe, viɖe kae gale eƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye ŋu nɛ?”
And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, 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 said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and sold 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, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!
