Ebandeli 25
1 Abrayami abalaki mwasi mosusu, kombo na ye « Ketura. »
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 Ketura abotelaki ye: Zimirani, Yokishani, Medani, Madiani, Ishibaki mpe Shuwa.
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Yokishani azalaki tata ya Saba mpe Dedani. Tala bato oyo bazalaki bakitani ya Dedani: Bato ya Ashuri, ya Letushi mpe ya Lewumi.
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 Madiani azalaki tata ya Efa, ya Eferi, ya Enoki, ya Abida mpe ya Elida. Bato oyo nyonso bazalaki bakitani ya Ketura.
And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 Abrayami atikaki biloko na ye nyonso na maboko ya Izaki.
And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 Kasi wana Abrayami azalaki nanu na bomoi, apesaki bakado epai ya bana mibali ya bamakangu na ye mpe atindaki bango na mokili ya este, mosika ya mwana na ye ya mobali Izaki.
But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7 Abrayami awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku sambo na mitano.
And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 Bongo Abrayami akataki motema mpe akufaki. Sima na ye kotonda mikolo mpe kokoma mobange makasi, akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye.
Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9 Bana na ye ya mibali, Izaki mpe Isimaeli, bakundaki ye na lilita ya mabanga ya Makipela pene ya Mamire, kati na elanga ya Efroni, mwana mobali ya Tsoari, moto ya Iti.
And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10 Abrayami asombaki elanga yango epai ya bato ya Iti. Ezalaki kuna nde bakundaki mwasi na ye Sara.
The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 Sima na kufa ya Abrayami, Nzambe apambolaki Izaki, mwana mobali ya Abrayami. Izaki azalaki kovanda pene ya Lakai-Royi.
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai–roi.
12 Tala molongo ya bakitani ya Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Abrayami, oyo Agari, moto ya Ejipito mpe mwasi mosali ya Sara, abotelaki Abrayami.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 Tala bakombo ya bana mibali ya Isimaeli kolanda ndenge babotamela: Nebayoti, mwana mobali ya liboso ya Isimaeli; Kedari, Adibeli, Mibisami,
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 Mishima, Duma, Masa,
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Adadi, Tema, Yeturi, Nafishi mpe Kedima.
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 Bango nde bazalaki bana mibali zomi na mibale ya Isimaeli. Moko na moko azalaki mokambi ya libota, mpe apesaki kombo na ye na mboka na ye mpe na molako na ye.
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
17 Isimaeli awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku misato na sambo. Akataki motema mpe akufaki; akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye.
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
18 Bakitani na ye bazalaki kovanda na mokili oyo ezalaki kati na Avila mpe Shuri, pene ya Ejipito, na nzela oyo ekenda na Asiri. Bazalaki tango nyonso kovanda lokola banguna ya bandeko na bango nyonso.
And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Tala libota ya Izaki, mwana mobali ya Abrayami. Abrayami azalaki tata ya Izaki,
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 mpe Izaki azalaki na mibu tuku minei ya mbotama tango abalaki Rebeka, mwana mwasi ya Betweli, moto ya Arami ya Padani-Arami, mpe ndeko mwasi ya Labani, moto ya Arami.
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan–aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 Izaki abondelaki Yawe mpo na Rebeka, mwasi na ye, oyo azalaki ekomba. Yawe ayanolaki libondeli na ye, mpe Rebeka akomaki na zemi.
And Isaac intreated Yhwh for his wife, because she was barren: And Yhwh was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Kati na libumu na ye, bana bazalaki kowelana. Alobaki: « Likambo nini oyo ekomeli ngai? » Boye, akendeki kotuna Yawe.
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of Yhwh.
23 Yawe alobaki na ye: « Bikolo mibale ezali kati na libumu na yo, mpe mabota mibale ekabwana ekobima na libumu na yo; ekolo moko ekoleka ekolo mosusu na makasi, mpe kulutu akosalela leki. »
And Yhwh said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Wana tango na ye ya kobota ekokaki, azalaki na mapasa mibale kati na libumu na ye.
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Lipasa ya liboso oyo abimaki azalaki motane mpe nzoto na ye mobimba ezalaki etonda na bapwale lokola elamba ya bapwale; yango wana babengaki ye « Ezawu. »
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 Sima na yango, ndeko na ye mpe abimaki, loboko na ye ekanga litindi ya Ezawu; yango wana bapesaki ye kombo « Jakobi. » Izaki azalaki na mibu tuku motoba ya mbotama tango Rebeka abotaki.
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 Bana mibali yango bakolaki. Ezawu akomaki mobomi makasi ya banyama mpe azalaki kolekisa tango mingi na zamba; Jakobi azalaki moto ya kimia, azalaki kosepela kovanda na ndako.
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 Izaki abandaki kosepela mingi na misuni, yango wana alingaki mingi Ezawu; mpe Rebeka alingaki mingi Jakobi.
And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Mokolo moko, wana Jakobi azalaki kolamba elubu, Ezawu oyo awutaki na bilanga ayaki na kolemba.
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 Ezawu alobaki na Jakobi: — Nalembi makasi; tika ngai nalia elubu oyo, elubu oyo kaka. Yango wana bazalaki mpe kobenga ye Edomi.
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 Jakobi azongisaki: — Tekela ngai liboso boyaya na yo.
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 Ezawu azongisaki: — Tala, nakokufa na nzala. Boyaya na ngai ekopesa ngai nini?
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 Kasi Jakobi alobaki: — Lapa liboso ndayi. Ezawu alapaki ndayi epai ya Jakobi; mpe na nzela wana, atekaki boyaya na ye epai ya Jakobi.
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Jakobi apesaki Ezawu lipa mpe elubu ya misili. Ezawu aliaki mpe amelaki, bongo atelemaki mpe akendeki. Ezali ndenge wana nde Ezawu atiolaki boyaya na ye.
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
