Kodwa esaphila wanika amadodana akhe awazala labafazi bakhe beceleni izipho, wabasusa eduze kwendodana yakhe u-Isaka baya elizweni lasempumalanga.

7 Ama'i Abrahamu'ma mika zagegafu mani'neana, 175'a zagegafu hu'ne.

U-Abhrahama waphila okweminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.

8 Abrahamu'a ozafarfa reteno hakare'a zagegafu hu'nea zanku muse nehuno, vagare asimu anteteno frino naga'ane umani'ne.

10 Abrahamu'a Hiti mofavremofo mopa miza hu'nea mopafi nenaro Serama asente'nefi Abrahamuna ome asente'na'e.

11 Hanki Abrahamu'ma fritegeno'a Anumzamo'a agri ne'mofavre Aisakina asomu huntegeno, Aisaki'a Ber-hai-roi mani'ne.

Ngemva kokuba esefile u-Abhrahama uNkulunkulu wayibusisa indodana yakhe u-Isaka, owayehlala eBheri-Lahayi-Royi.

12 Hagi Haga'a Isipi a'mo Sera eri'za e'nerino Abrahamunteti Ismaelina kasente'nea mofavremofo naga'mokizmi naneke.

Lo ngumlando wendodana ka-Abhrahama u-Ishumayeli, incekukazi kaSara uHagari eyamzalela u-Abhrahama.

13 Ismaeli mofavre naga'mozama ese'ma fore'ma hu'nazareti'ma vuno henkamofonte'ma vu'nea nagamofo zamagi'a ama'ne, Ismaeli agonesa mofavrea Nebaioti'e, Kedariki, Adbiliki, Mibsami'e.

La ngamabizo abantwana baka-Ishumayeli behlelwe ngokwelamana kwabo: uNebhayothi izibulo lika-Ishumayeli, uKhedari, u-Adibheli, loMibhisamu,

14 Misma'ma, Duma'ma, Masa'e.

16 Ama'i Ismaeli ne'mofavre nagamofo zamagigiza, 12fu'a kva vahe'mo'za kva huzamantazage'za mago'mago kuma'zmire'ene, nagate nofitera hu'za mani'naze.

La ayengamadodana ka-Ishumayeli, njalo la ngamabizo ababusi bezizwana ezilitshumi lambili kulandela ukuhlaliswa kwazo lemizi yawo.

17 Hagi ama maka Ismaeli'ma mani'nea zagegafu'a 137ni'a zagegafu huteno, vagare asimu anteno frino, fri'naza naga'ane umani'ne.

U-Ishumayeli waphila okweminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa. Waphefumula okokucina wafa, wembelwa labakibo.

18 Hanki Ismaeli agehe'za Havilati mani'za Suri uhanati'naze, zage hanati'tega Isipi tvaonte, Asiri'a kaziga vu kamofo, zamagonaru'za zamagraku arure umani'naze.

Izizukulwane zakhe zakhela emangweni osuka eHavila kusiya eShuri, eduzane lomngcele waseGibhithe, nxa uqonda e-Asiriya. Njalo baphila belenzondo labafowabo bonke.

19 Hagi Abrahamu'a Aisaki nefa'e. Aisaki'pinti fore hu'naza naga'mokizmi naneke.

Lo ngumlando wendodana ka-Abhrahama u-Isaka. U-Abhrahama wazala u-Isaka,

20 Aisaki'a 40'a zagegafu huteno Rebekana Betueli mofa eri'ne, Lebani'a Aramea nekino, Mesopotamia mopareti ne'mofo nesaro erigeno, nenaro'za hu'ne.

u-Isaka wathi eseleminyaka engamatshumi amane obudala wathatha uRabheka indodakazi kaBhethuweli umʼAramu wasePhadani Aramu njalo engudadewabo kaLabhani umʼAramu.

21 Rebeka'a mofavre ontegeno, Aisaki'a Ra Anumzamofontega nenaro agi erino nunamu higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuma'a antahi'migeno, Rebeka'a amu'ene hu'ne.

U-Isaka wakhuleka kuThixo ekhulekela umkakhe ngoba wayeyinyumba. UThixo wawuphendula umkhuleko wakhe, umkakhe uRabheka wazithwala.

22 Hianagi tare mofavreraremoke arimpafintira kanive nerakeno anage hu'ne, amazana na'a nehie, nehuno Anumzamofona antahige'ne.

Abantwana bafuqana phakathi kwakhe, wathi, “Kungani lokhu kusenzakala kimi?” Ngakho wasehamba wayabuza kuThixo.

23 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Tare kumamoke krimpafina mani'na'e, hiankino tare'mokea arure arure kavufgafinti vu'ne e'ne hugaha'e. Mago'mo'a hanavetina, mago'mo'a hanave otigahie. Ese'ma fore'ma hanimo'a, henkama fore hanimofo eri'za vahe manigahie.

UThixo wathi kuye, “Izizwe ezimbili zisesiswini sakho, njalo abantu ababili phakathi kwakho bazakwehlukaniswa; omunye uzakuba lamandla kulomunye, kuthi omdala uzakhonza omncinyane.”

24 Hagi mofavrema kasente knama egeno'a, tare kugaveza mofavre arimpafi mani'na'e.

Kwathi isikhathi sakhe sokubeletha sesifikile, kwakulamaphahla angabafana esiswini sakhe.

25 Kota mofavrema kasenteana, koranke avufgane antegeno hakare avufgamo'a azokake hu'nege'za, agi'a Iso'e hu'za ante'naze.

Owabona ilanga kuqala wayebomvu, umzimba wakhe wonke ulihwanqa njengengubo yoboya; yikho bamutha bathi ngu-Esawu.

26 Hanki amefiga'a negna kasentegeno, Iso agiare azerino atiramigeno, agi'a Jekopu'e hu'za antemi'naze. Ana knarera Aisaki'a 60'a zagegafu hutegeno, nenaro'a mofavrea kase zanante'ne.

Ngemva kwalokhu, umfowabo walandela, isandla sakhe sibambe isithende sika-Esawu; ngakho wathiwa nguJakhobe. U-Isaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ngesikhathi uRabheka ebazala.

27 Hagi ana mofavre'mokea nena hute'ne, Iso'a zagagafa hofa trampinti ahe ne' mani'negeno, Jekopu'a rimpa frune kazone ne' seli nompi mani'ne.

Bakhula abafana, u-Esawu waba ngumzingeli omkhulu, indoda yegangeni, kodwa uJakhobe wayeyindoda ethuleyo, engasuki ngekhaya emathenteni.

28 Aisaki'a Isona avesinte'ne, na'ankure agrama zagagafa aheno eme amigeno nenea zankure. Hagi Rebeka'a Jekopu avesinte'ne.

U-Isaka owayethanda inyama yenyamazana wayethanda u-Esawu, kodwa uRabheka wayethanda uJakhobe.

29 Hagi mago zupa Jekopu'a ne'zana negregeno, Iso'a trampinti agaku nehuno e'ne.

Ngesinye isikhathi uJakhobe wayepheka inyama, u-Esawu wafika evela egangeni elambile.

30 Iso'a amanage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Ame'ama hunka antu koranke migri (sup) ne'zana eri namige'na na'neno, na'ankure naganetege'na nehue. E'inama hu'nea agafare mago agi'a Idomu'e hu'za ante'naze.

Wathi kuJakhobe, “Phangisa, akungiphe ukudla kwakho lokho osukukhanzinge kwaba bomvana! Sengifile ngendlala!” (Yikho wabizwa ngokuthi ngu-Edomi.)

31 Hagi Jekopu'a amanage hu'ne, Zage mofavremo eri asomura kota'zana nagri namitege'no.

UJakhobe waphendula wathi, “Qala ungithengisele ubuzibulo bakho.”

32 Higeno Iso'a amanage hu'ne, Negano nagra fri'za nehuanki, zage mofavremo eri asomumo'a na'a hunantegahie?

U-Esawu wathi, “Khangela, sengisifa. Bungisiza ngani ubuzibulo lobo?”

33 Higeno Jekopu'a amanage huno asmine, Kotazana huvempa hutegeno, higeno agra huvempa hunteno zage mofavremo eriga asomura Jekopu ami'ne.

Kodwa uJakhobe wathi, “Qala ufunge kimi.” Yikho wasefunga isifungo kuye, ethengisa ubuzibulo bakhe kuJakhobe.

34 Jekopu'a bretine, lentol koheki huno amigeno neteno atreno vu'ne. Iso'a ese mofavremo'ma eriga asomu'agura antahi amneza se'ne.

Ngakho uJakhobe wasesipha u-Esawu isinkwa lokudla kwendumba eziphekwa ziluhlaza. Wadla, wanatha, wasukuma wahamba. Ngaleyondlela u-Esawu wabeyisa ubuzibulo bakhe.
