Genesisy 25
1 Ary Abrahama nampaka-bady indray, Ketora no anarany.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 Dia niteraka an’ i Zimrana sy Joksana sy Medana sy Midiana sy Jisbaka ary Soaha tamin’ i Abrahama izy.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Ary Joksana niteraka an’ i Sheba sy Dedana. Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Dedana dia Asorima sy Letosima ary Leomima.
Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
4 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Midiana dia Efaha sy Efera sy Hanoka sy Abida ary Eldaha. Ireo rehetra ireo no zanak’ i Ketora.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Dia natolotr’ i Abrahama an’ Isaka izay rehetra nananany.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Fa ny zanak’ ireo vaditsindranony hafa, izay nananan’ i Abrahama, dia samy notolorany avy ka nampandehaniny, dieny mbola velona izy, hiala amin’ Isaka zanany hiantsinanana ho any amin’ ny tany atsinanana.
But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
7 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Abrahama dia dimy amby fito-polo amby zato taona.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Dia niala aina Abrahama ka maty, rehefa fotsy volo tsara sady lahy antitra ela niainana; dia voangona any amin’ ny razany izy.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Ary nalevin’ Isaka sy Isimaela zanany izy tao amin’ ny zohy ao Makpela, tao amin’ ny sahan’ i Efrona, zanak’ i Zohara Hetita, izay tandrifin’ i Mamre,
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
10 dia ilay saha izay novinidin’ i Abrahama tamin’ ny taranak’ i Heta; tao no nandevenana an’ i Abrahama sy Saraha vadiny.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 Ary rehefa maty Abrahama, dia notahin’ Andriamanitra Isaka zanany; ary Isaka dia nonina teo akaikin’ i Bera-lahai-roy.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Ary izao no taranak’ Isimaela, zanakalahin’ i Abrahama izay naterak’ i Hagara, ilay Egyptiana, andevovavin’ i Saraha, tamin’ i Abrahama:
(These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
13 Izao no anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ Isimaela, araka ny anarany sy araka ny taranany: Nebaiota, lahimatoan’ Isimaela, sy Kedara sy Adbela sy Mibsama
These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 sy Misma sy Doma sy Masa
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 sy Hadada sy Tema sy Jetora sy Nafisy ary Kedema.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Izy ireo no zanakalahin’ Isimaela, ary ireo no anarany, araka ny vohiny sy ny tobiny, dia andriana roa ambin’ ny folo araka ny fireneny.
The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
17 Ary ny andro niainan’ Isimaela dia fito amby telo-polo amby zato taona; ary niala aina izy ka maty, dia voangona any amin’ ny razany.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Ary ny taranany nonina hatrany Havila ka hatrany Sora, izay tandrifin’ i Egypta amin’ ny lalana mankany Asyria; nifanandrify tamin’ ny rahalahiny rehetra no nitoerany.
His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
19 Ary izao no taranak’ Isaka, zanakalahin’ i Abrahama:
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Abrahama niteraka an’ Isaka; ary efa-polo taona Isaka, raha nampakatra an-dRebeka, zanakavavin’ i Betoela Syriana, avy tany Mesopotamia, sady anabavin’ i Labana Syriana.
and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
21 Ary Isaka nangataka tamin’ i Jehovah ho an’ ny vadiny, satria momba izy; ary nohenoin’ i Jehovah ny fangatahany, dia nanan’ anaka Rebeka vadiny.
Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
22 Ary nifanosika ny zaza kambana tao an-kibony; ary hoy Rebeka: Raha izao, nahoana re aho no dia mbola velona? Dia lasa nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah izy.
She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
23 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Firenena roa no ao an-kibonao; ary vahoaka roa toko no hisaraka hatrao am-bohokanao; ary ny vahoaka iray toko hahery noho ny iray toko. Ka ny zokiny hanompo ny zandriny.
Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
24 Ary rehefa tonga ny andro hahaterahany, indreo, nisy zaza kambana tao an-kibony.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Dia teraka ny voalohany ka mena, ary tahaka ny kapôty volom-biby ny tenany rehetra; dia nataony hoe Esao ny anarany.
The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
26 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia teraka koa ny rahalahiny, ary ny tànany nihazona ny ombelahin-tongotr’ i Esao, dia nataony hoe Jakoba ny anarany; ary efa enim-polo taona Isaka tamin’ ny niterahana azy mirahalahy.
Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
27 Dia nitombo ireo zaza ireo; ary Esao lehilahy nahay nihaza, dia mpianefitra, fa Jakoba kosa lehilahy tsara fanahy sady mpitoetra an-day.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
28 Ary Isaka tia an’ i Esao, satria nankafy ny hazany; fa Rebeka kosa tia an’ i Jakoba.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Ary nahandro hanina Jakoba; ary sendra avy tany an-tsaha Esao ka reraka.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Dia hoy Esao tamin’ i Jakoba: Mba anomezo ahy hohaniko ny mena, dia io mena io, fa reraka aho (izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Edoma).
He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
31 Fa hoy Jakoba: Amidio amiko ary aloha ny fizokianao.
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Dia hoy kosa Esao: Indro, ho faty ihany aho; ka mahasoa inona izay fizokiana?
Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
33 Ary hoy Jakoba: Mianiana ary amiko aloha. Dia nianiana taminy izy; ka dia namidiny tamin’ i Jakoba ny fizokiany.
Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Ary Jakoba nanome an’ i Esao mofo sy voanemba masaka; dia nihinana sy nisotro izy, ary niainga ka lasa nandeha. Izany no nanamavoan’ i Esao ny fizokiany.
Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
