12 Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaIshmayeli indodana kaAbrahama, uHagari umGibhithekazi, incekukazi kaSara, amzalela uAbrahama.

Hagi Haga'a Isipi a'mo Sera eri'za e'nerino Abrahamunteti Ismaelina kasente'nea mofavremofo naga'mokizmi naneke.

13 Lala ngamabizo amadodana kaIshmayeli ngamabizo awo njengokuzalwa kwawo; izibulo likaIshmayeli nguNebayothi, loKedari loAdibeli loMibisama

Ismaeli mofavre naga'mozama ese'ma fore'ma hu'nazareti'ma vuno henkamofonte'ma vu'nea nagamofo zamagi'a ama'ne, Ismaeli agonesa mofavrea Nebaioti'e, Kedariki, Adbiliki, Mibsami'e.

16 la ngamadodana kaIshmayeli, njalo la ngamabizo awo ngemizana yawo langezinqaba zawo, iziphathamandla ezilitshumi lambili ngezizwe zawo.

Ama'i Ismaeli ne'mofavre nagamofo zamagigiza, 12fu'a kva vahe'mo'za kva huzamantazage'za mago'mago kuma'zmire'ene, nagate nofitera hu'za mani'naze.

17 Njalo le yiminyaka yempilo kaIshmayeli, iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa; wasephela, wafa, wabuthelwa ebantwini bakibo.

Hagi ama maka Ismaeli'ma mani'nea zagegafu'a 137ni'a zagegafu huteno, vagare asimu anteno frino, fri'naza naga'ane umani'ne.

18 Basebehlala kusukela eHavila kusiya eShuri ephambi kweGibhithe, ekuhambeni usiya eAsiriya; wahlala phambi kobuso babafowabo bonke.

19 Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaIsaka indodana kaAbrahama; uAbrahama wazala uIsaka.

Hagi Abrahamu'a Aisaki nefa'e. Aisaki'pinti fore hu'naza naga'mokizmi naneke.

20 UIsaka wayeseleminyaka engamatshumi amane mhla ethatha uRebeka, indodakazi kaBethuweli umSiriya wePadani-Arama, udadewabo kaLabani umSiriya, ukuba ngumkakhe.

Aisaki'a 40'a zagegafu huteno Rebekana Betueli mofa eri'ne, Lebani'a Aramea nekino, Mesopotamia mopareti ne'mofo nesaro erigeno, nenaro'za hu'ne.

21 UIsaka wasemncengela umkakhe eNkosini, ngoba wayeyinyumba; iNkosi yasincengeka ngaye, kwaze kwathi uRebeka umkakhe wathatha isisu.

Rebeka'a mofavre ontegeno, Aisaki'a Ra Anumzamofontega nenaro agi erino nunamu higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuma'a antahi'migeno, Rebeka'a amu'ene hu'ne.

22 Abantwana babebindana-ke ngaphakathi kwakhe; wasesithi: Uba kunjalo, kungani nginje? Wasesiyabuza iNkosi.

Hianagi tare mofavreraremoke arimpafintira kanive nerakeno anage hu'ne, amazana na'a nehie, nehuno Anumzamofona antahige'ne.

23 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Izizwe ezimbili zisesizalweni sakho, izizwe ezimbili zizakwehlukana emibilini yakho. Njalo esinye isizwe sizakuba lamandla kulesinye isizwe, futhi omkhulu uzakhonza omncinyane.

Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Tare kumamoke krimpafina mani'na'e, hiankino tare'mokea arure arure kavufgafinti vu'ne e'ne hugaha'e. Mago'mo'a hanavetina, mago'mo'a hanave otigahie. Ese'ma fore'ma hanimo'a, henkama fore hanimofo eri'za vahe manigahie.

24 Kwathi sezigcwalisekile insuku zakhe zokubeletha, khangela-ke, amaphahla esiswini sakhe.

Hagi mofavrema kasente knama egeno'a, tare kugaveza mofavre arimpafi mani'na'e.

25 Kwasekuphuma owokuqala ebomvana, yena wonke enjengesembatho soboya; ngakho bamutha ibizo lakhe bathi nguEsawu.

Kota mofavrema kasenteana, koranke avufgane antegeno hakare avufgamo'a azokake hu'nege'za, agi'a Iso'e hu'za ante'naze.

26 Njalo emva kwalokho kwaphuma umfowabo, lesandla sakhe sibambelele esithendeni sikaEsawu; basebebiza ibizo lakhe uJakobe. LoIsaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ekuzalweni kwabo.

Hanki amefiga'a negna kasentegeno, Iso agiare azerino atiramigeno, agi'a Jekopu'e hu'za antemi'naze. Ana knarera Aisaki'a 60'a zagegafu hutegeno, nenaro'a mofavrea kase zanante'ne.

27 Abafana basebekhula; uEsawu wasesiba ngumzingeli ohlakaniphileyo, umuntu weganga; loJakobe umuntu obekekileyo ehlala emathenteni.

Hagi ana mofavre'mokea nena hute'ne, Iso'a zagagafa hofa trampinti ahe ne' mani'negeno, Jekopu'a rimpa frune kazone ne' seli nompi mani'ne.

28 Njalo uIsaka wayemthanda uEsawu ngoba wadla inyama yenyamazana yakhe; kodwa uRebeka wathanda uJakobe.

Aisaki'a Isona avesinte'ne, na'ankure agrama zagagafa aheno eme amigeno nenea zankure. Hagi Rebeka'a Jekopu avesinte'ne.

29 Kwathi uJakobe esephekile ukudla okuphekiweyo, kwasekufika uEsawu evela egangeni, ekhathele.

Hagi mago zupa Jekopu'a ne'zana negregeno, Iso'a trampinti agaku nehuno e'ne.

30 UEsawu wasesithi kuJakobe: Ake ungivumele ngiginye kokubomvu lokho okubomvu, ngoba ngikhathele. Ngalokhu babiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi uEdoma.

Iso'a amanage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Ame'ama hunka antu koranke migri (sup) ne'zana eri namige'na na'neno, na'ankure naganetege'na nehue. E'inama hu'nea agafare mago agi'a Idomu'e hu'za ante'naze.

31 UJakobe wasesithi: Ngithengisela lamuhla ilungelo lobuzibulo bakho.

Hagi Jekopu'a amanage hu'ne, Zage mofavremo eri asomura kota'zana nagri namitege'no.

32 UEsawu wasesithi: Khangela, sengizakufa; njalo liyini kimi ilungelo lobuzibulo?

Higeno Iso'a amanage hu'ne, Negano nagra fri'za nehuanki, zage mofavremo eri asomumo'a na'a hunantegahie?

33 UJakobe wasesithi: Funga kimi lamuhla. Wasefunga kuye, wathengisa ilungelo lobuzibulo bakhe kuJakobe.

Higeno Jekopu'a amanage huno asmine, Kotazana huvempa hutegeno, higeno agra huvempa hunteno zage mofavremo eriga asomura Jekopu ami'ne.

34 UJakobe wasenika uEsawu isinkwa lokudla okuphekiweyo kwamalentili; wasesidla wanatha, wasukuma wahamba; ngalokho uEsawu wadelela ilungelo lobuzibulo bakhe.

Jekopu'a bretine, lentol koheki huno amigeno neteno atreno vu'ne. Iso'a ese mofavremo'ma eriga asomu'agura antahi amneza se'ne.
