After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who was living 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 genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael. His mother Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian slave.

Ishmael's descendants inhabited the region from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. They were forever fighting with one other.
19 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Isaaka mũrũ wa Iburahĩmu. Iburahĩmu nĩwe waciarire Isaaka,
The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was 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.
When Isaac was 40 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.
Isaac prayed to the Lord for help on behalf of his wife because she couldn't have children. The Lord answered his prayer and she became pregnant.
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.
The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”
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.”
“You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”
24 Na rĩrĩa ihinda rĩake rĩakinyire rĩa gũciara, agĩkorwo nĩ tũhĩĩ twa mahatha aarĩ natuo nda.
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
25 Karĩa kaambire gũciarwo kaarĩ gatune na mwĩrĩ wako wothe wahaanaga ta nguo ya maguoya; tondũ ũcio magĩgatua Esaũ.
The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a 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.
Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they were born.
27 Natuo tũmwana tũu tũgĩkũra, nake Esaũ agĩtuĩka mũguĩmi mũũgĩ, mũndũ wa werũ, no Jakubu aarĩ mũndũ mũhooreri, waikaraga hakuhĩ na mũciĩ.
The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents.
28 Isaaka eendete Esaũ tondũ nĩ eendete nyama cia ũguĩmi, no Rebeka eendete Jakubu.
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Mũthenya ũmwe Jakubu nĩarugaga gĩtoero kĩa ndengũ ndune, nake Esaũ agĩũka kuuma werũ-inĩ ahũtiĩ mũno.
One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
30 Akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ta he gĩtoero kĩu ũraruga! Ndĩ mũhũtu mũno!” (Nĩkĩo gĩatũmire acooke gwĩtwo Edomu.)
“Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)
31 Jakubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Amba ũnyenderie ũrigithathi waku!”
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
32 Nake Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngirie gũkua, ũrigithathi ũyũ ũkaangʼuna na kĩ?”
“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 No Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Amba wĩhĩte kũrĩ niĩ.” Nake akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa, akĩenderia Jakubu ũrigithathi wake.
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
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 Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son.
