Kinohi 25
1 LAWE hou ae la o Aberahama i wahine nana, o Ketura kona inoa.
U-Abhrahama wathatha omunye umfazi okwakuthiwa nguKhethura.
2 O na keiki ana i hanau ai nana, o Zimerama, o Iokesana, o Medana, o Midiana, o Isebaka a o Sua.
Wamzalela uZimirani, uJokishani, uMedani, uMidiyani, u-Ishibhaki loShuwa.
3 Na Iokesana o Seba, a o Dedana. Eia ka poe mamo a Dedana, o ka Asurima, Ka Letusima, a me ka Leumima.
UJokishani wazala uShebha loDedani; isizukulwane sikaDedani saba ngama-Ashuri, amaLethushi lamaLehumi.
4 O na keiki a Midiana; o Epa, o Epera, o Hanoka, o Abida, a o Eledaa. O keia poe a pau na Ketura mai.
Amadodana kaMidiyani kwakungu-Efa, u-Eferi, uHanokhi, u-Abhida lo-Elida. Bonke laba babeyizizukulwane zikaKhethura.
5 Kauoha mai la o Aberahama i kona waiwai a pau ia Isaaka.
Konke u-Abhrahama ayelakho wakutshiyela u-Isaka.
6 Aka, haawi aku la o Aberahama i na makana na na keikikane a na haiawahine a Aberahama, a hookuu aku la ia lakou, i kona wa e ola ana, mai kana keiki o Isaaka aku, e hele i ka aina o ka hikina.
Kodwa esaphila wanika amadodana akhe awazala labafazi bakhe beceleni izipho, wabasusa eduze kwendodana yakhe u-Isaka baya elizweni lasempumalanga.
7 Eia na la o na makahiki o ko Aberahama ola ana, hookahi haneri a me kanahikukumamalima.
U-Abhrahama waphila okweminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
8 Alaila kaliia'ku ke ea o Aberahama, a make iho la ia i ka wa elemakule maikai; he kanaka kahiko loa ia, a ua nui na la ona, a ua huiia'ku ia me kona poe kanaka.
Lapho u-Abhrahama waphefumula okokucina njalo wafa eseluphele, eselixhegu elileminyaka eminengi; wembelwa labakibo.
9 Na kana mau keiki na Isaaka laua o Isemaela i kanu aku ia ia maloko o ke ana o Makepela, ma ka mahinaai a Eperona ke keiki a Zohara no ka Heta, ma ke alo o Mamere,
Amadodana akhe u-Isaka lo-Ishumayeli bamngcwaba ebhalwini lwaseMakhaphela eduze leMamure, esiqintini sika-Efroni indodana kaZohari umHithi,
10 Ma ka mahinaai a Aberahama i kuai ai me na mamo a Heta: ilaila i kanuia'i o Aberahama, a me Sara o kana wahine.
isiqinti leso u-Abhrahama asithenga kumaHithi. Khonapho u-Abhrahama wangcwatshwa lomkakhe uSara.
11 Mahope mai o ka make ana o Aberahama, hoopomaikai mai la ke Akua ia Isaaka; a noho iho la o Isaaka ma ka luawai o Lahairoi.
Ngemva kokuba esefile u-Abhrahama uNkulunkulu wayibusisa indodana yakhe u-Isaka, owayehlala eBheri-Lahayi-Royi.
12 Eia ka mooolelo no Isemaela, no ke keikikane a Aberahama, o ka mea a Hagara no Aigupita ke kauwawahine a Sara i hanau ai na Aberahama:
Lo ngumlando wendodana ka-Abhrahama u-Ishumayeli, incekukazi kaSara uHagari eyamzalela u-Abhrahama.
13 Eia hoi na inoa o na keikikane a Isemaela, ma ko lakou mau inoa, e like me ko lakou hanau ana: o Nebaiota kana hiapo; o Kedara, o Adebeela, o Mibesama,
La ngamabizo abantwana baka-Ishumayeli behlelwe ngokwelamana kwabo: uNebhayothi izibulo lika-Ishumayeli, uKhedari, u-Adibheli, loMibhisamu,
14 O Misama, o Duma, o Masa.
uMishima, uDuma, uMasa,
15 Hadara, o Tema, o Ietura, o Napisa, a o Kedema.
uHadadi, uThema, uJethuri, uNafishi kanye loKhedema.
16 Oia na keikikane a Isemaela, oia hoi ko lakou mau inoa; ma ko lakou mau kauhale, a ma ko lakou mau kulanahale; he umikumamalua mau alii e like me ko lakou mau lahuikanaka.
La ayengamadodana ka-Ishumayeli, njalo la ngamabizo ababusi bezizwana ezilitshumi lambili kulandela ukuhlaliswa kwazo lemizi yawo.
17 Eia na makahiki o ke ola ana o Isemaela, hookahi haneri na makahiki me kanakolukumamahiku: ua kailiia'ku kona ea, a make iho la ia; a ua huiia aku ia me kona poe kanaka.
U-Ishumayeli waphila okweminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa. Waphefumula okokucina wafa, wembelwa labakibo.
18 Noho iho la lakou mai Havila a hiki i Sura, ma ke alo o Aigupita, i kou hele ana i Asuria; pela oia I noho ai ma ke alo o kona poe hoahanau a pau.
Izizukulwane zakhe zakhela emangweni osuka eHavila kusiya eShuri, eduzane lomngcele waseGibhithe, nxa uqonda e-Asiriya. Njalo baphila belenzondo labafowabo bonke.
19 Eia ka mooolelo no Isaaka no ke keiki a Aberahama: Na Aberahama o Isaaka:
Lo ngumlando wendodana ka-Abhrahama u-Isaka. U-Abhrahama wazala u-Isaka,
20 He kanaha na makahiki o Isaaka i kona wa i lawe ai ia Rebeka ke kaikamahine a Betuela no Suria, a ke kaikuwahine o Labana no Suria, i wahine nana.
u-Isaka wathi eseleminyaka engamatshumi amane obudala wathatha uRabheka indodakazi kaBhethuweli umʼAramu wasePhadani Aramu njalo engudadewabo kaLabhani umʼAramu.
21 Nonoi aku la o Isaaka ia Iehova no kana wahine, no ka mea, ua pa oia: a hoolohe mai la ke Akua ia ia, a hapai ae la kana wahine o Rebeka.
U-Isaka wakhuleka kuThixo ekhulekela umkakhe ngoba wayeyinyumba. UThixo wawuphendula umkhuleko wakhe, umkakhe uRabheka wazithwala.
22 Oni pu ae la na keiki iloko ona; i iho la ia, A i pela ia, i aha keia mea a'u? A hele aku la ia e ninau ia Iehova.
Abantwana bafuqana phakathi kwakhe, wathi, “Kungani lokhu kusenzakala kimi?” Ngakho wasehamba wayabuza kuThixo.
23 I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Elua no lahuikanaka iloko o kou opu, elua hoi poe kanaka e puka mai ana noloko mai o kou opu, a e oi aku ka ikaika o kekahi poe i ko kekahi poe; a e hookauwa aku ka hanau mua i ka hanau hope.
UThixo wathi kuye, “Izizwe ezimbili zisesiswini sakho, njalo abantu ababili phakathi kwakho bazakwehlukaniswa; omunye uzakuba lamandla kulomunye, kuthi omdala uzakhonza omncinyane.”
24 A hiki mai kona manawa e hanau ai, aia hoi, he mau mahoe iloko o kona opu.
Kwathi isikhathi sakhe sokubeletha sesifikile, kwakulamaphahla angabafana esiswini sakhe.
25 A puka mai la ka mua, ua huluhulu, a ulaula, e like me ka aahu huluhulu, a kapa iho la lakou i kona inoa, o Esau.
Owabona ilanga kuqala wayebomvu, umzimba wakhe wonke ulihwanqa njengengubo yoboya; yikho bamutha bathi ngu-Esawu.
26 Mahope iho, puka mai la kona kaikaina, a paa aku la kona lima i ke kuekue wawae o Esau; a kapaia kona inoa, o Iakoba. He kanaono na makahiki o Isaaka i ko Rebeka manawa i hanau ai laua.
Ngemva kwalokhu, umfowabo walandela, isandla sakhe sibambe isithende sika-Esawu; ngakho wathiwa nguJakhobe. U-Isaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ngesikhathi uRabheka ebazala.
27 Nui ae la ua mau keiki la: he kanaka akamai o Esau i ka hahai holoholona hihiu, he kanaka no ka nahelehele: aka, he kanaka noho malie o Iakoba, e noho ana ma na halelewa.
Bakhula abafana, u-Esawu waba ngumzingeli omkhulu, indoda yegangeni, kodwa uJakhobe wayeyindoda ethuleyo, engasuki ngekhaya emathenteni.
28 Aloha aku la o Isaaka ia Esau, no ka mea, ai iho la ia i ka io o ua mea hihiu: a o Rebeka ka i aloha ia Iakoba.
U-Isaka owayethanda inyama yenyamazana wayethanda u-Esawu, kodwa uRabheka wayethanda uJakhobe.
29 Hoolapalapa iho la o Iakoba i ka mea ai: a hoi mai la o Esau mai ka nahelehele mai, a ua nawaliwali ia.
Ngesinye isikhathi uJakhobe wayepheka inyama, u-Esawu wafika evela egangeni elambile.
30 I mai la o Esau ia Iakoba, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ho mai na'u e ai ia mea ulaula; no ka mea, ua nawaliwali au: nolaila ua kapaia kona inoa o Edoma.
Wathi kuJakhobe, “Phangisa, akungiphe ukudla kwakho lokho osukukhanzinge kwaba bomvana! Sengifile ngendlala!” (Yikho wabizwa ngokuthi ngu-Edomi.)
31 I aku la o Iakoba, E kuai kaua i keia la, i lilo mai ia'u kau pono o ka hanau mua.
UJakhobe waphendula wathi, “Qala ungithengisele ubuzibulo bakho.”
32 I iho la o Esau, Eia wau ua kokoke e make, a heaha auanei ko'u pomaikai i keia pono o ka hanau mua?
U-Esawu wathi, “Khangela, sengisifa. Bungisiza ngani ubuzibulo lobo?”
33 I aku la o Iakoba E hoohiki oe na'u i keia la; a hoohiki aku la ia nana: a kuai lilo mai la ia i kana pono o ka hanau mua, na Iakoba.
Kodwa uJakhobe wathi, “Qala ufunge kimi.” Yikho wasefunga isifungo kuye, ethengisa ubuzibulo bakhe kuJakhobe.
34 Alaila, haawi aku la o Iakoba na Esau i ka berena a me na papapa i hoolapalapaia; ai iho la ia a inu hoi, ku ae la ia a hele aku la i kona wahi i hele ai: pela o Esau i hoowahawaha'i i kana pono o ka hanau mua.
Ngakho uJakhobe wasesipha u-Esawu isinkwa lokudla kwendumba eziphekwa ziluhlaza. Wadla, wanatha, wasukuma wahamba. Ngaleyondlela u-Esawu wabeyisa ubuzibulo bakhe.
