She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Yokusaani n’azaala Seeba ne Dedani. Dedani n’azaala Asulimu, ne Letusimu ne Leumimu.
Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

The sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 Ibulayimu yawa Isaaka byonna bye yalina.
And Abraham gave all that he owned to his son 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.
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.
7 Ibulayimu yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu nsanvu mu etaano.
This was the length of Abraham's life: one hundred seventy-five years.
8 Ibulayimu yafa ng’akaddiyidde ddala, nga musajja awangaalidde ddala obulungi.
Abraham breathed his last, and died in a good old age, an old man and satisfied, and was gathered to his people.
9 Batabani be Isaaka ne Isimayiri ne bamuziika mu mpuku ey’e Makupeera, mu nnimiro ya Efulooni, mutabani wa Zokali Omukiiti, ebuvanjuba bwa Mamule;
Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hethite, which is near Mamre,
10 ennimiro Ibulayimu gye yagula ku Bakiiti. Omwo Ibulayimu mwe yaziikibwa awali Saala mukazi we.
the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
11 Ibulayimu bwe yafa, Katonda n’awa mutabani we Isaaka omukisa, Isaaka n’abeera e Beerirakayiroyi.
It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
12 Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isimayiri mutabani wa Ibulayimu eyazaalibwa Agali Omumisiri, omuweereza wa Saala omuwala.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
13 Gano ge mannya gaabwe nga bwe baddiŋŋanwako: Nebayoosi, omubereberye wa Isimayiri, ne Kedali, ne Adubeeri, ne Mibusamu,

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their clans.
17 Isimayiri yafa ng’awezezza emyaka kikumi mu asatu mu musanvu n’atwalibwa mu babe.
These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 Abantu be baatuula okuviira ddala mu Kavira ne batuuka ku Ssuuli okuliraana Misiri ku luuyi olwa Bwasuli. Ennaku zaabwe zonna baawalananga baganda baabwe.
They lived from Havilah to Shur, which is near Egypt, all the way to Asshur. He settled near all his kinsmen.
19 Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isaaka, mutabani wa Ibulayimu. Ibulayimu yazaala Isaaka.
These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20 Isaaka yalina emyaka amakumi ana, we yawasiza muwala wa Besweri Omusuuli ow’e Padanalaamu, eyayitibwanga Lebbeeka mwannyina wa Labbaani.
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 Isaaka n’asaba Mukama ku lwa mukazi we Lebbeeka kubanga yali mugumba, Mukama n’awulira okusaba kwe, Lebbeeka naaba olubuto.
Isaac prayed for his wife, because she was barren. And God was moved by his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
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 children struggled together within her. She said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" She went to inquire of God.
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.”
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 Ennaku ez’okuzaala bwe zaatuuka, laba, n’azaala abalongo nga babulenzi.
When the time came for her to give birth, look, there were twins in her womb.
25 Eyasooka bwe yavaayo nga mumyufu, omubiri gwe gwonna nga gufaanana ng’ekyambalo eky’ebyoya. Kyebaava bamutuuma Esawu.
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. 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.
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 Abalenzi ne bakula, Esawu n’aba muyizzi lukulwe, omuntu ow’oku ttale. Naye ye Yakobo yali musajja musirise ng’asigala waka.
The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 Isaaka n’ayagala Esawu kubanga yalyanga ku muyiggo gwe, naye Lebbeeka ye n’ayagala Yakobo.
And Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for wild animals, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Lumu Yakobo yali afumba enva, Esawu n’ajja ng’ava ku ttale; enjala ng’emuluma nnyo.
Now Jacob was cooking stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 Esawu n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Mpa mpute ku nva ezo, kubanga enjala ejula kunzita.” Kyeyava ayitibwa Edomu.
Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.
31 Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Sooka onguze obukulu bwo.”
Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."
32 Esawu n’agamba nti, “Laba Ndikumpi n’okufa, obukulu bungasa ki?”
Esau said, "Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"
33 Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Sooka ondayirire.” Awo Esawu n’amulayirira, olwo n’aguza Yakobo obukulu bwe.
Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and he sold his birthright 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.
Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
