Abraham married another wife; her name was Keturah.

She had the following sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Yokusaani n’azaala Seeba ne Dedani. Dedani n’azaala Asulimu, ne Letusimu ne Leumimu.
Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
4 Batabani ba Midiyaani baali Efa, ne Eferi, ne Kanoki, ne Abida ne Eruda. Abo bonna be baana n’abazzukulu ba Ketula.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Ibulayimu yawa Isaaka byonna bye yalina.
Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
6 Naye bo abaana b’abaweereza be n’abawa birabo, n’abasiibula bwe yali ng’akyali mulamu bagende ebuvanjuba mu nsi ey’ebuvanjuba; baviire mutabani we Isaaka.
But while he was still alive, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them to live in the east, well away from Isaac.
7 Ibulayimu yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu nsanvu mu etaano.
Abraham lived to be 175
8 Ibulayimu yafa ng’akaddiyidde ddala, nga musajja awangaalidde ddala obulungi.
when he breathed his last and died at a good old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death.
9 Batabani be Isaaka ne Isimayiri ne bamuziika mu mpuku ey’e Makupeera, mu nnimiro ya Efulooni, mutabani wa Zokali Omukiiti, ebuvanjuba bwa Mamule;
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field that had belonged to Ephron, son of Zohar, the Hittite.
10 ennimiro Ibulayimu gye yagula ku Bakiiti. Omwo Ibulayimu mwe yaziikibwa awali Saala mukazi we.
This was the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
11 Ibulayimu bwe yafa, Katonda n’awa mutabani we Isaaka omukisa, Isaaka n’abeera e Beerirakayiroyi.
After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who was living near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isimayiri mutabani wa Ibulayimu eyazaalibwa Agali Omumisiri, omuweereza wa Saala omuwala.
This is the genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael. His mother Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian slave.
13 Gano ge mannya gaabwe nga bwe baddiŋŋanwako: Nebayoosi, omubereberye wa Isimayiri, ne Kedali, ne Adubeeri, ne Mibusamu,
These were the names of the sons of Ishmael according to their family genealogy: Nebaioth (firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 ne Misuma, ne Duma, ne Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 ne Kadadi, ne Teema, ne Yetuli, ne Nafisi ne Kedema.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Abo be batabani ba Isimayiri, era ago ge mannya gaabwe, mu byalo ne mu bibuga byabwe mwe baabeeranga, abafuzi kkumi na babiri buli omu n’eggwanga lye.
These were the sons of Ishmael, and these became the names of the places where they lived and camped—the twelve family rulers of their tribes.
17 Isimayiri yafa ng’awezezza emyaka kikumi mu asatu mu musanvu n’atwalibwa mu babe.
Ishmael lived to be 137. Then he breathed his last and died, and joined his forefathers in death.
18 Abantu be baatuula okuviira ddala mu Kavira ne batuuka ku Ssuuli okuliraana Misiri ku luuyi olwa Bwasuli. Ennaku zaabwe zonna baawalananga baganda baabwe.
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 Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isaaka, mutabani wa Ibulayimu. Ibulayimu yazaala Isaaka.
The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of Isaac.
20 Isaaka yalina emyaka amakumi ana, we yawasiza muwala wa Besweri Omusuuli ow’e Padanalaamu, eyayitibwanga Lebbeeka mwannyina wa Labbaani.
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 n’asaba Mukama ku lwa mukazi we Lebbeeka kubanga yali mugumba, Mukama n’awulira okusaba kwe, Lebbeeka naaba olubuto.
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 Abaana bombi ne bagulumbira mu lubuto lwe, Lebbeeka n’agamba nti, “Obanga kiri bwe kityo, lwaki mba omulamu?” Awo n’agenda ne yeebuuza ku Mukama.
The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”
23 Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Mu lubuto lwo mulimu amawanga abiri, abantu ababiri b’olizaala balibeera ba njawulo, omu alibeera w’amaanyi okusinga munne, era omukulu yaaliweereza omuto.”
“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 Ennaku ez’okuzaala bwe zaatuuka, laba, n’azaala abalongo nga babulenzi.
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
25 Eyasooka bwe yavaayo nga mumyufu, omubiri gwe gwonna nga gufaanana ng’ekyambalo eky’ebyoya. Kyebaava bamutuuma Esawu.
The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a coat. So they named him Esau.
26 Oluvannyuma ne muganda we n’azaalibwa, omukono gwe nga gukutte ekisinziiro kya Esawu; kyebaava bamuyita Yakobo. Isaaka yalina emyaka nkaaga Lebbeeka we yazaalira abaana abo.
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 Abalenzi ne bakula, Esawu n’aba muyizzi lukulwe, omuntu ow’oku ttale. Naye ye Yakobo yali musajja musirise ng’asigala waka.
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 n’ayagala Esawu kubanga yalyanga ku muyiggo gwe, naye Lebbeeka ye n’ayagala Yakobo.
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Lumu Yakobo yali afumba enva, Esawu n’ajja ng’ava ku ttale; enjala ng’emuluma nnyo.
One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
30 Esawu n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Mpa mpute ku nva ezo, kubanga enjala ejula kunzita.” Kyeyava ayitibwa 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 Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Sooka onguze obukulu bwo.”
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
32 Esawu n’agamba nti, “Laba Ndikumpi n’okufa, obukulu bungasa ki?”
“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Sooka ondayirire.” Awo Esawu n’amulayirira, olwo n’aguza Yakobo obukulu bwe.
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
34 Yakobo n’alyoka awa Esawu emmere n’enva, n’alya n’anywa, n’agolokoka n’agenda. Bw’atyo Esawu n’anyooma obukulu bwe.
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.
