< UGenesisi 25 >

1 UAbrahama wasebuya wathatha umfazi, lebizo lakhe linguKetura.
LAWE hou ae la o Aberahama i wahine nana, o Ketura kona inoa.
2 Wasemzalela uZimrani loJokishani loMedani loMidiyani loIshibaki loShuwa.
O na keiki ana i hanau ai nana, o Zimerama, o Iokesana, o Medana, o Midiana, o Isebaka a o Sua.
3 UJokishani wasezala uShebha loDedani. Lamadodana kaDedani ayengamaAshuri lamaLetushi lamaLewumi.
Na Iokesana o Seba, a o Dedana. Eia ka poe mamo a Dedana, o ka Asurima, Ka Letusima, a me ka Leumima.
4 Njalo amadodana kaMidiyani ayengoEfa loEferi loHanoki loAbida loElidaha. Wonke la ngamadodana kaKetura.
O na keiki a Midiana; o Epa, o Epera, o Hanoka, o Abida, a o Eledaa. O keia poe a pau na Ketura mai.
5 UAbrahama wasemupha uIsaka konke ayelakho.
Kauoha mai la o Aberahama i kona waiwai a pau ia Isaaka.
6 Kodwa kumadodana abafazi abancane uAbrahama ayelabo uAbrahama wanika izipho; wawasusa kuIsaka indodana yakhe, esaphila, wawathuma empumalanga elizweni lempumalanga.
Aka, haawi aku la o Aberahama i na makana na na keikikane a na haiawahine a Aberahama, a hookuu aku la ia lakou, i kona wa e ola ana, mai kana keiki o Isaaka aku, e hele i ka aina o ka hikina.
7 Lalezi zinsuku zeminyaka yempilo kaAbrahama ayiphilayo, iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
Eia na la o na makahiki o ko Aberahama ola ana, hookahi haneri a me kanahikukumamalima.
8 UAbrahama wasephela, wafa eseluphele kuhle emdala enele, wabuthelwa ezizweni zakibo.
Alaila kaliia'ku ke ea o Aberahama, a make iho la ia i ka wa elemakule maikai; he kanaka kahiko loa ia, a ua nui na la ona, a ua huiia'ku ia me kona poe kanaka.
9 UIsaka loIshmayeli amadodana akhe basebemngcwaba obhalwini lweMakaphela, esiqintini sikaEfroni indodana kaZohari umHethi, esiqondene leMamre,
Na kana mau keiki na Isaaka laua o Isemaela i kanu aku ia ia maloko o ke ana o Makepela, ma ka mahinaai a Eperona ke keiki a Zohara no ka Heta, ma ke alo o Mamere,
10 isiqinti uAbrahama asithenga emadodaneni akaHethi; lapho uAbrahama wangcwatshwa loSara umkakhe.
Ma ka mahinaai a Aberahama i kuai ai me na mamo a Heta: ilaila i kanuia'i o Aberahama, a me Sara o kana wahine.
11 Kwasekusithi emva kokufa kukaAbrahama, uNkulunkulu wambusisa uIsaka indodana yakhe; uIsaka wasehlala emthonjeni iLahayi-Royi.
Mahope mai o ka make ana o Aberahama, hoopomaikai mai la ke Akua ia Isaaka; a noho iho la o Isaaka ma ka luawai o Lahairoi.
12 Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaIshmayeli indodana kaAbrahama, uHagari umGibhithekazi, incekukazi kaSara, amzalela uAbrahama.
Eia ka mooolelo no Isemaela, no ke keikikane a Aberahama, o ka mea a Hagara no Aigupita ke kauwawahine a Sara i hanau ai na Aberahama:
13 Lala ngamabizo amadodana kaIshmayeli ngamabizo awo njengokuzalwa kwawo; izibulo likaIshmayeli nguNebayothi, loKedari loAdibeli loMibisama
Eia hoi na inoa o na keikikane a Isemaela, ma ko lakou mau inoa, e like me ko lakou hanau ana: o Nebaiota kana hiapo; o Kedara, o Adebeela, o Mibesama,
14 loMishima loDuma loMasa,
O Misama, o Duma, o Masa.
15 uHadadi loTema, uJeturi, uNafishi loKedema;
Hadara, o Tema, o Ietura, o Napisa, a o Kedema.
16 la ngamadodana kaIshmayeli, njalo la ngamabizo awo ngemizana yawo langezinqaba zawo, iziphathamandla ezilitshumi lambili ngezizwe zawo.
Oia na keikikane a Isemaela, oia hoi ko lakou mau inoa; ma ko lakou mau kauhale, a ma ko lakou mau kulanahale; he umikumamalua mau alii e like me ko lakou mau lahuikanaka.
17 Njalo le yiminyaka yempilo kaIshmayeli, iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa; wasephela, wafa, wabuthelwa ebantwini bakibo.
Eia na makahiki o ke ola ana o Isemaela, hookahi haneri na makahiki me kanakolukumamahiku: ua kailiia'ku kona ea, a make iho la ia; a ua huiia aku ia me kona poe kanaka.
18 Basebehlala kusukela eHavila kusiya eShuri ephambi kweGibhithe, ekuhambeni usiya eAsiriya; wahlala phambi kobuso babafowabo bonke.
Noho iho la lakou mai Havila a hiki i Sura, ma ke alo o Aigupita, i kou hele ana i Asuria; pela oia I noho ai ma ke alo o kona poe hoahanau a pau.
19 Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaIsaka indodana kaAbrahama; uAbrahama wazala uIsaka.
Eia ka mooolelo no Isaaka no ke keiki a Aberahama: Na Aberahama o Isaaka:
20 UIsaka wayeseleminyaka engamatshumi amane mhla ethatha uRebeka, indodakazi kaBethuweli umSiriya wePadani-Arama, udadewabo kaLabani umSiriya, ukuba ngumkakhe.
He kanaha na makahiki o Isaaka i kona wa i lawe ai ia Rebeka ke kaikamahine a Betuela no Suria, a ke kaikuwahine o Labana no Suria, i wahine nana.
21 UIsaka wasemncengela umkakhe eNkosini, ngoba wayeyinyumba; iNkosi yasincengeka ngaye, kwaze kwathi uRebeka umkakhe wathatha isisu.
Nonoi aku la o Isaaka ia Iehova no kana wahine, no ka mea, ua pa oia: a hoolohe mai la ke Akua ia ia, a hapai ae la kana wahine o Rebeka.
22 Abantwana babebindana-ke ngaphakathi kwakhe; wasesithi: Uba kunjalo, kungani nginje? Wasesiyabuza iNkosi.
Oni pu ae la na keiki iloko ona; i iho la ia, A i pela ia, i aha keia mea a'u? A hele aku la ia e ninau ia Iehova.
23 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Izizwe ezimbili zisesizalweni sakho, izizwe ezimbili zizakwehlukana emibilini yakho. Njalo esinye isizwe sizakuba lamandla kulesinye isizwe, futhi omkhulu uzakhonza omncinyane.
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Elua no lahuikanaka iloko o kou opu, elua hoi poe kanaka e puka mai ana noloko mai o kou opu, a e oi aku ka ikaika o kekahi poe i ko kekahi poe; a e hookauwa aku ka hanau mua i ka hanau hope.
24 Kwathi sezigcwalisekile insuku zakhe zokubeletha, khangela-ke, amaphahla esiswini sakhe.
A hiki mai kona manawa e hanau ai, aia hoi, he mau mahoe iloko o kona opu.
25 Kwasekuphuma owokuqala ebomvana, yena wonke enjengesembatho soboya; ngakho bamutha ibizo lakhe bathi nguEsawu.
A puka mai la ka mua, ua huluhulu, a ulaula, e like me ka aahu huluhulu, a kapa iho la lakou i kona inoa, o Esau.
26 Njalo emva kwalokho kwaphuma umfowabo, lesandla sakhe sibambelele esithendeni sikaEsawu; basebebiza ibizo lakhe uJakobe. LoIsaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ekuzalweni kwabo.
Mahope iho, puka mai la kona kaikaina, a paa aku la kona lima i ke kuekue wawae o Esau; a kapaia kona inoa, o Iakoba. He kanaono na makahiki o Isaaka i ko Rebeka manawa i hanau ai laua.
27 Abafana basebekhula; uEsawu wasesiba ngumzingeli ohlakaniphileyo, umuntu weganga; loJakobe umuntu obekekileyo ehlala emathenteni.
Nui ae la ua mau keiki la: he kanaka akamai o Esau i ka hahai holoholona hihiu, he kanaka no ka nahelehele: aka, he kanaka noho malie o Iakoba, e noho ana ma na halelewa.
28 Njalo uIsaka wayemthanda uEsawu ngoba wadla inyama yenyamazana yakhe; kodwa uRebeka wathanda uJakobe.
Aloha aku la o Isaaka ia Esau, no ka mea, ai iho la ia i ka io o ua mea hihiu: a o Rebeka ka i aloha ia Iakoba.
29 Kwathi uJakobe esephekile ukudla okuphekiweyo, kwasekufika uEsawu evela egangeni, ekhathele.
Hoolapalapa iho la o Iakoba i ka mea ai: a hoi mai la o Esau mai ka nahelehele mai, a ua nawaliwali ia.
30 UEsawu wasesithi kuJakobe: Ake ungivumele ngiginye kokubomvu lokho okubomvu, ngoba ngikhathele. Ngalokhu babiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi uEdoma.
I mai la o Esau ia Iakoba, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ho mai na'u e ai ia mea ulaula; no ka mea, ua nawaliwali au: nolaila ua kapaia kona inoa o Edoma.
31 UJakobe wasesithi: Ngithengisela lamuhla ilungelo lobuzibulo bakho.
I aku la o Iakoba, E kuai kaua i keia la, i lilo mai ia'u kau pono o ka hanau mua.
32 UEsawu wasesithi: Khangela, sengizakufa; njalo liyini kimi ilungelo lobuzibulo?
I iho la o Esau, Eia wau ua kokoke e make, a heaha auanei ko'u pomaikai i keia pono o ka hanau mua?
33 UJakobe wasesithi: Funga kimi lamuhla. Wasefunga kuye, wathengisa ilungelo lobuzibulo bakhe kuJakobe.
I aku la o Iakoba E hoohiki oe na'u i keia la; a hoohiki aku la ia nana: a kuai lilo mai la ia i kana pono o ka hanau mua, na Iakoba.
34 UJakobe wasenika uEsawu isinkwa lokudla okuphekiweyo kwamalentili; wasesidla wanatha, wasukuma wahamba; ngalokho uEsawu wadelela ilungelo lobuzibulo bakhe.
Alaila, haawi aku la o Iakoba na Esau i ka berena a me na papapa i hoolapalapaia; ai iho la ia a inu hoi, ku ae la ia a hele aku la i kona wahi i hele ai: pela o Esau i hoowahawaha'i i kana pono o ka hanau mua.
