Kenehi 25
1 Na ka tangohia e Aperahama tetahi wahine ano, ko Ketura tona ingoa.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 A whanau ake a raua tama ko Timirana, ko Iokohana, ko Merana, ko Miriana, ko Ihipaka, ratou ko Huaha.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 A whanau ake a Iokohana ko Hepa, ko Rerana. A ko nga tama a Rerana ko Ahurimi, ko Retuhimi, ko Reumime.
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 A ko nga tama a Miriana ko Epa, ko Epere, ko Hanoka, ko Apira, ko Ereraaha. He tama katoa enei na Ketura.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 A i hoatu e Aperahama ana mea katoa ki a Ihaka.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Ki nga tama ia a nga wahine iti a Aperahama i hoatu e ia etahi taonga, a tonoa atu ana e ia i a ia ano e ora ana kia matara atu i a Ihaka, i tana tama, whaka te rawhiti, ki te whenua i te rawhiti.
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 Ko nga ra enei o nga tau o te oranga o Aperahama i ora ai ia, kotahi rau e whitu tekau ma rima nga tau.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Na ka hemo a Aperahama, a ka mate, he pai hoki tona koroheketanga, he kaumatua, kua ata tutuki ona tau; a kohia ana ia ki tona iwi.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 A ka tanumia ia e ana tama e Ihaka raua ko Ihimaera ki te ana o Makapera, ki te wahi o Eperona tama a Tohara Hiti, i te ritenga o Mamere;
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 Ki te wahi i hokona ra e Aperahama i nga tama a Hete: i tanumia ki reira a Aperahama, raua ko Hara, ko tana wahine.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 A muri iho i te matenga o Aperahama ka manaakitia e te Atua a Ihaka, tana tama; a ka noho a Ihaka ki te taha o Peererahairoi.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Ihimaera tama a Aperahama, i whanau nei ma Aperahama i a Hakara, i te Ihipiana, pononga wahine a Hara:
(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 A ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Ihimaera, o ratou ingoa i o ratou whakatupuranga: ta Ihimaera matamua ko Nepaioto; na, ko Kerara, ko Arapeere, ko Mipihama,
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 Ko Mihima, ko Ruma, ko Maha,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Ko Hatara, ko Tema, ko Ieturu, ko Napihi, ko Kerema:
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Ko nga tama enei a Ihimaera, ko o ratou ingoa hoki enei i o ratou pa, i o ratou puni; kotahi tekau ma rua nga rangatira o o ratou iwi.
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 A ko nga tau enei o te oranga o Ihimaera, kotahi rau e toru tekau ma whitu nga tau: na ka hemo ia, a ka mate; ka kohia ki tona iwi.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 A ko o ratou nohoanga i Hawira a tae noa ki Huru, i te ritenga o Ihipa ina haere koe ki Ahiria: a i noho ia ki te aroaro o ona teina katoa.
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 Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Ihaka tama a Aperahama: na Aperahama ko Ihaka:
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Na e wha tekau nga tau o Ihaka i tana tangohanga i a Ripeka, tamahine a Petuere Hiriani o Paranaarama, tuahine o Rapana Hiriani, hei wahine mana.
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 Na ka inoi a Ihaka ki a Ihowa mo tana wahine, no te mea he pakoko ia: a ka whakaae a Ihowa ki a ia, a ka hapu a Ripeka, tana wahine.
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 A ka takatakahi nga tamariki i a raua i roto i a ia; a ka mea ia, Ki te mea ko tenei, he aha ahau i penei ai? Na haere ana ia ki a Ihowa ki te ui.
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 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, e rua nga iwi kei roto i tou kopu, a e rua nga iwi e wehea mai i roto i ou whekau; a ka kaha tetahi iwi i tetahi iwi; ka waiho hoki te tuakana hei papa mo te teina.
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 A ka rite ona ra e whanau ai ia, na, he mahanga kei roto i tona kopu.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Na ka puta mai te tuatahi, he whero, rite katoa ia ki te kakahu huruhuru; a huaina ana e ratou tona ingoa ko Ehau.
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 A muri iho ka puta mai tona teina, me te pupuri ano tona ringa i te rekereke o Ehau; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Hakopa; a e ono tekau nga tau o Ihaka i to raua whanautanga.
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 Na ka tupu nga tamariki ra: ko Ehau he tangata mohio ki te hopu kirehe mohoao, he tangata noho koraha; ko Hakopa ia he tangata ata noho, he tangata noho teneti.
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 Na i aroha a Ihaka ki a Ehau, he kai nona i ana i hopu ai: ko Ripeka i aroha ki a Hakopa.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Na ka kohuatia he kai e Hakopa, a ka haere mai a Ehau i te koraha, a e hemo ana ia:
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 A ka mea a Ehau ki a Hakopa, E, homai he kai maku i taua mea whero e whero na, ne? e hemo ana hoki ahau: koia i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Eroma.
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 Na ko te meatanga mai a Hakopa, Hokona mai ki ahau i tenei ra tou matamuatanga.
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Na ka mea a Ehau, Na, kua tata ahau te mate: a he aha te hua o te matamuatanga ki ahau?
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 A ka mea a Hakopa, Oati mai ki ahau aianei; na ka oati ia ki a ia: a ka hokona atu e ia tona matamuatanga ki a Hakopa.
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 Katahi ka hoatu e Hakopa he taro ki a Ehau me nga pi i kohuatia ra: na ka kai ia, ka inu, ka whakatika hoki, haere ana: na whakahaweatia ana e Ehau tona matamuatanga.
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.
