Genesisy 25
1 Nangala-baly indraike t’i Avrahame, i Ketoràe ty tahina’e.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 Le nisamaha’e t’i Zimràne naho Ioksane naho i Medane naho i Midiane naho Isbake vaho i Sòahke.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Nisamake i Sebà naho i Dedane t’i Joksane. I Asorý ty ana-dahi’ i Dedane, le i Letosý vaho i Leomý.
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 O ana-dahi’ i Midianeo le i Efà naho i Èfere naho i Kanòke naho i Abidà vaho i Eldaa, songa ana’ i Ketorà.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Natolo’ i Avrahame am’ Ietsàke iaby ze vara’e.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Le tinolo’e ravoravo o anan’ tsakeza’eo, ie mbe niveloñe, le nampifokofokoe’e maniñanañe mb’an-tane atiñanañe añe hisitake am’Ietsàke.
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 Aa le zao o andron-taon-kavelo’ i Avrahame, o niveloma’eo: zato-tsi-fitompolo lim’ amby taoñe.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Nipetroke fara’e t’i Avrahame vaho nivilasy an-kasoan-kantera’e, bey naho lifotse andro, vaho natontoñe am’ ondati’eo.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Naleve’ Ietsàke naho Iesmaèle ana’e amy lakato’ i Makpelày re, amy tonda’ i Efrone, ana’ i Tsòkhare nte-Kheteiy, aolo’ i Mamrè ao,
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 i teteke vinili’ i Avrahame amo nte-Kheteoy. Naleveñe ao t’i Avrahame naho i Sarà vali’ey.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 Ie añe ty fihomaha’ i Avrahame, le nitahien’ Añahare t’Ietsàk’ ana’e; vaho nimoneñe marine ty vovo’ i Laka’iroý eo t’Ietsake.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Intoy o tarira’Iesmaèle, ana’ i Avrahame nasama’ i Khagare nte-Mitsraime, fetrek’ oro’ i Sarà amy Avrahameo.
(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 Zao ty tahina’ o ana’ Iesmaèleo, amo tahina’eo, ie toñoneñe amo tarira’eo: le i Nebaote tañoloñolo’ Iesmaèle naho i Kedare, i Adbeèle, i Mibsame,
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 i Mismà, i Domà, i Masà,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 i Khadade, i Temà, Ietore, i Nafìse, vaho i Kedemà.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Izay o ana’ Iesmaèleo naho o tahina’ iareoo amo rova’eo, naho amo kialo’eo, roandriañe folo-ro’ amby o fifokoa’eo.
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 Zato tsy telopolo fito amby taoñe ty halava-havelo’ Iesmaèle, te nikofòke ty fara-pipetro’e naho nivilasy vaho natontoñe am’ondati’eo.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Nitoetse boak’e Havilà pak’e Sòre tandrife’ i Mitsraime añe iereo amy fombañe mb’e Asòre mb’eoy. Nidoñe tandrife’ o rahalahi’e iabio re.
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 Izay ty fanoñona’ Ietsàk’ ana’ i Avrahame. Nisamake Ietsàke t’i Avrahame; le
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 efa-polo taoñe t’Ietsàke te nañenga i Ribkae ana’ i Betoele nte-Arame boake Padan’ arame, rahavave’ i Labàne nte-Arame.
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 Nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’Ietsàke ty amy vali’e, ie betsiterake. Tinoi’ Iehovà i halali’ey vaho niareñe t’i Ribkae.
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 Nifaniotsiotse an-kovi’e ao o ajajao, le hoe re: Aa naho zao ty ie, ino ty hanoeko? Aa le nimb’eo re nañontane Iehovà.
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 Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Foko roe ty an-kovi’o ao, hiambake ondaty ho samahe’oo; Haozatse te ami’ty raike ty raike, Vaho hitoroñ’an-jai’e ty zoke’e.
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 Ie tondroke ty andro nisamaha’e, le ajaja hambañe ty an-kovi’e ao.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Nimena iaby ty zoke te niakatse, hoe nisarom-bolovoloeñe ty sandri’e; le natao’ iereo Esave ty añara’e.
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 Nanonjohy aze i rahalahi’ey; nivontititse an-tomi’ i Esave ty taña’e le natao Iakòbe ty añara’e. Enempolo taoñe t’Ietsàke te nahatoly iareo t’i Ribkàe.
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 Nitombo i lahilahy rey, le nimpitsindroke am-bantam-pitañe t’i Esave, mpian-kivoke; fe ondaty saoneñe t’Iakòbe, mpimoneñe an-kibohotse.
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 Nikokoa’ Ietsàke t’i Esave, amy t’ie nikama o tsindro’eo; fe nikokoa’ i Ribkae t’Iakòbe.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Teo te nahandro antake t’Iakòbe, le nilimpoañe t’i Esave te boak’ an-kivok’ añe.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Aa hoe t’i Esave am’ Iakòbe, Anjotso o raha menao, fa midaliendalieñe. (Aa le natao Edome ty tahina’e.)
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 Hoe t’Iakòbe, Aletaho amako henane ty hatañoloñoloña’o,
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Hoe t’i Esave, toe hikenkan-draho, inoñe amako ze o hatañoloñoloñañe zao?
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 Hoe t’Iakòbe, Mifantà amako heike. Aa le nifanta ama’e vaho naleta’e am’ Iakòbe i hatañoloñoloña’ey.
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 Le nazotso’ Iakòbe amy Esave ty mofo naho i ahandro antakey; ie nikama naho ninoñe le niongake vaho niribotse mb’eo. Toe nañonjitse i hatañoloñoloña’ey t’i Esave.
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.
