and to the sons of Abraham's secondary wives, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was still living, eastward, to the east country.

This was the length of Abraham's life: one hundred seventy-five years.

They lived from Havilah to Shur, which is near Egypt, all the way to Asshur. He settled near all his kinsmen.
19 Tala libota ya Izaki, mwana mobali ya Abrayami. Abrayami azalaki tata ya Izaki,
These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of 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.
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.
21 Izaki abondelaki Yawe mpo na Rebeka, mwasi na ye, oyo azalaki ekomba. Yawe ayanolaki libondeli na ye, mpe Rebeka akomaki na zemi.
Isaac prayed for his wife, because she was barren. And God was moved by his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Kati na libumu na ye, bana bazalaki kowelana. Alobaki: « Likambo nini oyo ekomeli ngai? » Boye, akendeki kotuna Yawe.
The children struggled together within her. She said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" She went to inquire of God.
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 he said to her, "Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger."
24 Wana tango na ye ya kobota ekokaki, azalaki na mapasa mibale kati na libumu na ye.
When the time came for her to give birth, look, 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. »
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him 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.
After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore 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.
The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living 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 had a taste for wild animals, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Mokolo moko, wana Jakobi azalaki kolamba elubu, Ezawu oyo awutaki na bilanga ayaki na kolemba.
Now Jacob was cooking stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 Ezawu alobaki na Jakobi: — Nalembi makasi; tika ngai nalia elubu oyo, elubu oyo kaka. Yango wana bazalaki mpe kobenga ye Edomi.
Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.
31 Jakobi azongisaki: — Tekela ngai liboso boyaya na yo.
Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."
32 Ezawu azongisaki: — Tala, nakokufa na nzala. Boyaya na ngai ekopesa ngai nini?
Esau said, "Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright 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.
Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to 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.
Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
