Kĩambĩrĩria 25
1 Thuutha ũcio Iburahĩmu nĩ aahikirie mũtumia ũngĩ, wetagwo Ketura.
Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
2 Nake akĩmũciarĩra ariũ atandatũ, na nĩo Zimirani, na Jokishani, na Medani, na Midiani, na Ishibaku na Shua.
and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jokishani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Sheba na Dedani; nacio njiaro cia Dedani nĩcio ciarĩ Aashuri, na Aletushi na Aleumi.
Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
4 Nao ariũ a Midiani maarĩ Efa, na Eferi, na Hanoku, na Abida na Elidaha. Acio othe maarĩ njiaro cia Ketura.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
5 Nake Iburahĩmu akĩgaĩra Isaaka indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio.
Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
6 No arĩ o muoyo-rĩ, akĩhe ariũ a thuriya ciake iheo, agĩcooka akĩmeheranĩria na mũriũ Isaaka magĩthiĩ na kũu bũrũri wa irathĩro.
But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
7 Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo mũgwanja na ĩtano.
Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
8 Iburahĩmu agĩtuĩkana na agĩkua arĩ mũthuuri mũniaru, arĩ mũkũrũ na akaingĩhia mĩaka, agĩthikwo hamwe na andũ ao arĩa maakuĩte.
And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
9 Nao ariũ ake, Isaaka na Ishumaeli, makĩmũthika ngurunga-inĩ ya Makipela hakuhĩ na Mamure, gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa Efironi mũrũ wa Zoharu ũrĩa Mũhiti,
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
10 gĩthaka kĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aagũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ Ahiti. Hau nĩho Iburahĩmu aathikirwo hamwe na Sara mũtumia wake.
This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
11 Thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Iburahĩmu-rĩ, Ngai nĩarathimire mũriũ Isaaka ũrĩa watũũraga hakuhĩ na Biri-Lahai-Roi.
After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Iburahĩmu, ũrĩa waciarĩirwo Iburahĩmu nĩ Hagari ũrĩa Mũmisiri, ndungata ya Sara.
This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
13 Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Ishumaeli, maandĩkĩtwo kũringana na ũrĩa maarũmanĩrĩire gũciarwo: Irigithathi rĩa Ishumaeli rĩarĩ Nebaiothu, rĩkarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ Kedari, na Adubeeli, na Mibisamu,
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 na Mishima, na Duma, na Masa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 na Hadadi, na Tema, na Jeturu, na Nafishu, na Kedema.

These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
17 Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Ishumaeli aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩtatũ na mũgwanja. Agĩcooka agĩtuĩkana agĩkua, na agĩthikwo hamwe na andũ ao arĩa maakuĩte.
Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 Njiaro cia Ishumaeli igĩtũũra kuuma Havila nginya Shuri, gũkuhĩ na mũhaka wa Misiri werekeire bũrũri wa Ashuri. Nao magĩtũũra na rũmena na ariũ arĩa angĩ othe a ithe wao.
Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
19 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Isaaka mũrũ wa Iburahĩmu. Iburahĩmu nĩwe waciarire Isaaka,
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 nake Isaaka aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna rĩrĩa aahikirie Rebeka, mwarĩ wa Bethueli ũrĩa Mũsuriata wa Padani-Aramu, na aarĩ mwarĩ wa nyina na Labani ũrĩa Mũsuriata.
and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Isaaka agĩthaitha Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa mũtumia wake tondũ aarĩ thaata. Nake Jehova akĩigua mahooya make, na Rebeka mũtumia wake akĩgĩa nda.
Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
22 Natuo twana tũu tũkĩgianĩra kũu nda yake, nake akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ ũrekĩka kũrĩ niĩ nĩkĩ?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ gũtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova.
But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
23 Nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩrĩ igĩrĩ irĩ nda yaku, na andũ a mĩthemba ĩĩrĩ kuuma nda yaku nĩmagatigithanio; gĩthemba kĩmwe nĩgĩgakĩria kĩrĩa kĩngĩ hinya, na ũrĩa mũkũrũ nĩagatungatĩra ũrĩa mũnini.”
and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
24 Na rĩrĩa ihinda rĩake rĩakinyire rĩa gũciara, agĩkorwo nĩ tũhĩĩ twa mahatha aarĩ natuo nda.
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
25 Karĩa kaambire gũciarwo kaarĩ gatune na mwĩrĩ wako wothe wahaanaga ta nguo ya maguoya; tondũ ũcio magĩgatua Esaũ.
The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
26 Thuutha ũcio mũrũ wa nyina agĩciarwo guoko gwake kũnyiitĩte ndiira ya Esaũ; tondũ ũcio agĩtuuo Jakubu. Isaaka aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa Rebeka aaciarire twana tũu.
After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
27 Natuo tũmwana tũu tũgĩkũra, nake Esaũ agĩtuĩka mũguĩmi mũũgĩ, mũndũ wa werũ, no Jakubu aarĩ mũndũ mũhooreri, waikaraga hakuhĩ na mũciĩ.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
28 Isaaka eendete Esaũ tondũ nĩ eendete nyama cia ũguĩmi, no Rebeka eendete Jakubu.
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Mũthenya ũmwe Jakubu nĩarugaga gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ ndune, nake Esaũ agĩũka kuuma werũ-inĩ ahũtiĩ mũno.
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
30 Akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ta he gĩtoero kĩu ũraruga! Ndĩ mũhũtu mũno!” (Nĩkĩo gĩatũmire acooke gwĩtwo Edomu.)
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
31 Jakubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amba ũnyenderie ũrigithathi waku!”
“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
32 Nake Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngirie gũkua, ũrigithathi ũyũ ũkaangʼuna na kĩ?”
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
33 No Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amba wĩhĩte kũrĩ niĩ.” Nake akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa, akĩenderia Jakubu ũrigithathi wake.
“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
34 Nake Jakubu akĩhe Esaũ mũgate na gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ. Nake akĩrĩa na akĩnyua, agĩcooka agĩũkĩra agĩĩthiĩra. Tondũ ũcio Esaũ akĩnyarara ũrigithathi wake.
Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
