UGenesisi 25
1 UAbrahama wasebuya wathatha umfazi, lebizo lakhe linguKetura.
Ibulayimu n’awasa omukazi omulala erinnya lye Ketula.
2 Wasemzalela uZimrani loJokishani loMedani loMidiyani loIshibaki loShuwa.
Yamuzaalira Zimulaani, ne Yokusaani, ne Medani, ne Midiyaani, ne Isubaki ne Suwa.
3 UJokishani wasezala uShebha loDedani. Lamadodana kaDedani ayengamaAshuri lamaLetushi lamaLewumi.
Yokusaani n’azaala Seeba ne Dedani. Dedani n’azaala Asulimu, ne Letusimu ne Leumimu.
4 Njalo amadodana kaMidiyani ayengoEfa loEferi loHanoki loAbida loElidaha. Wonke la ngamadodana kaKetura.
Batabani ba Midiyaani baali Efa, ne Eferi, ne Kanoki, ne Abida ne Eruda. Abo bonna be baana n’abazzukulu ba Ketula.
5 UAbrahama wasemupha uIsaka konke ayelakho.
Ibulayimu yawa Isaaka byonna bye yalina.
6 Kodwa kumadodana abafazi abancane uAbrahama ayelabo uAbrahama wanika izipho; wawasusa kuIsaka indodana yakhe, esaphila, wawathuma empumalanga elizweni lempumalanga.
Naye bo abaana b’abaweereza be n’abawa birabo, n’abasiibula bwe yali ng’akyali mulamu bagende ebuvanjuba mu nsi ey’ebuvanjuba; baviire mutabani we Isaaka.
7 Lalezi zinsuku zeminyaka yempilo kaAbrahama ayiphilayo, iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
Ibulayimu yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu nsanvu mu etaano.
8 UAbrahama wasephela, wafa eseluphele kuhle emdala enele, wabuthelwa ezizweni zakibo.
Ibulayimu yafa ng’akaddiyidde ddala, nga musajja awangaalidde ddala obulungi.
9 UIsaka loIshmayeli amadodana akhe basebemngcwaba obhalwini lweMakaphela, esiqintini sikaEfroni indodana kaZohari umHethi, esiqondene leMamre,
Batabani be Isaaka ne Isimayiri ne bamuziika mu mpuku ey’e Makupeera, mu nnimiro ya Efulooni, mutabani wa Zokali Omukiiti, ebuvanjuba bwa Mamule;
10 isiqinti uAbrahama asithenga emadodaneni akaHethi; lapho uAbrahama wangcwatshwa loSara umkakhe.
ennimiro Ibulayimu gye yagula ku Bakiiti. Omwo Ibulayimu mwe yaziikibwa awali Saala mukazi we.
11 Kwasekusithi emva kokufa kukaAbrahama, uNkulunkulu wambusisa uIsaka indodana yakhe; uIsaka wasehlala emthonjeni iLahayi-Royi.
Ibulayimu bwe yafa, Katonda n’awa mutabani we Isaaka omukisa, Isaaka n’abeera e Beerirakayiroyi.
12 Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaIshmayeli indodana kaAbrahama, uHagari umGibhithekazi, incekukazi kaSara, amzalela uAbrahama.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isimayiri mutabani wa Ibulayimu eyazaalibwa Agali Omumisiri, omuweereza wa Saala omuwala.
13 Lala ngamabizo amadodana kaIshmayeli ngamabizo awo njengokuzalwa kwawo; izibulo likaIshmayeli nguNebayothi, loKedari loAdibeli loMibisama
Gano ge mannya gaabwe nga bwe baddiŋŋanwako: Nebayoosi, omubereberye wa Isimayiri, ne Kedali, ne Adubeeri, ne Mibusamu,
14 loMishima loDuma loMasa,
ne Misuma, ne Duma, ne Massa,
15 uHadadi loTema, uJeturi, uNafishi loKedema;
ne Kadadi, ne Teema, ne Yetuli, ne Nafisi ne Kedema.
16 la ngamadodana kaIshmayeli, njalo la ngamabizo awo ngemizana yawo langezinqaba zawo, iziphathamandla ezilitshumi lambili ngezizwe zawo.
Abo be batabani ba Isimayiri, era ago ge mannya gaabwe, mu byalo ne mu bibuga byabwe mwe baabeeranga, abafuzi kkumi na babiri buli omu n’eggwanga lye.
17 Njalo le yiminyaka yempilo kaIshmayeli, iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa; wasephela, wafa, wabuthelwa ebantwini bakibo.
Isimayiri yafa ng’awezezza emyaka kikumi mu asatu mu musanvu n’atwalibwa mu babe.
18 Basebehlala kusukela eHavila kusiya eShuri ephambi kweGibhithe, ekuhambeni usiya eAsiriya; wahlala phambi kobuso babafowabo bonke.
Abantu be baatuula okuviira ddala mu Kavira ne batuuka ku Ssuuli okuliraana Misiri ku luuyi olwa Bwasuli. Ennaku zaabwe zonna baawalananga baganda baabwe.
19 Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaIsaka indodana kaAbrahama; uAbrahama wazala uIsaka.
Bino bye bifa ku b’olulyo lwa Isaaka, mutabani wa Ibulayimu. Ibulayimu yazaala Isaaka.
20 UIsaka wayeseleminyaka engamatshumi amane mhla ethatha uRebeka, indodakazi kaBethuweli umSiriya wePadani-Arama, udadewabo kaLabani umSiriya, ukuba ngumkakhe.
Isaaka yalina emyaka amakumi ana, we yawasiza muwala wa Besweri Omusuuli ow’e Padanalaamu, eyayitibwanga Lebbeeka mwannyina wa Labbaani.
21 UIsaka wasemncengela umkakhe eNkosini, ngoba wayeyinyumba; iNkosi yasincengeka ngaye, kwaze kwathi uRebeka umkakhe wathatha isisu.
Isaaka n’asaba Mukama ku lwa mukazi we Lebbeeka kubanga yali mugumba, Mukama n’awulira okusaba kwe, Lebbeeka naaba olubuto.
22 Abantwana babebindana-ke ngaphakathi kwakhe; wasesithi: Uba kunjalo, kungani nginje? Wasesiyabuza iNkosi.
Abaana bombi ne bagulumbira mu lubuto lwe, Lebbeeka n’agamba nti, “Obanga kiri bwe kityo, lwaki mba omulamu?” Awo n’agenda ne yeebuuza ku Mukama.
23 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Izizwe ezimbili zisesizalweni sakho, izizwe ezimbili zizakwehlukana emibilini yakho. Njalo esinye isizwe sizakuba lamandla kulesinye isizwe, futhi omkhulu uzakhonza omncinyane.
Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Mu lubuto lwo mulimu amawanga abiri, abantu ababiri b’olizaala balibeera ba njawulo, omu alibeera w’amaanyi okusinga munne, era omukulu yaaliweereza omuto.”
24 Kwathi sezigcwalisekile insuku zakhe zokubeletha, khangela-ke, amaphahla esiswini sakhe.
Ennaku ez’okuzaala bwe zaatuuka, laba, n’azaala abalongo nga babulenzi.
25 Kwasekuphuma owokuqala ebomvana, yena wonke enjengesembatho soboya; ngakho bamutha ibizo lakhe bathi nguEsawu.
Eyasooka bwe yavaayo nga mumyufu, omubiri gwe gwonna nga gufaanana ng’ekyambalo eky’ebyoya. Kyebaava bamutuuma Esawu.
26 Njalo emva kwalokho kwaphuma umfowabo, lesandla sakhe sibambelele esithendeni sikaEsawu; basebebiza ibizo lakhe uJakobe. LoIsaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ekuzalweni kwabo.
Oluvannyuma ne muganda we n’azaalibwa, omukono gwe nga gukutte ekisinziiro kya Esawu; kyebaava bamuyita Yakobo. Isaaka yalina emyaka nkaaga Lebbeeka we yazaalira abaana abo.
27 Abafana basebekhula; uEsawu wasesiba ngumzingeli ohlakaniphileyo, umuntu weganga; loJakobe umuntu obekekileyo ehlala emathenteni.
Abalenzi ne bakula, Esawu n’aba muyizzi lukulwe, omuntu ow’oku ttale. Naye ye Yakobo yali musajja musirise ng’asigala waka.
28 Njalo uIsaka wayemthanda uEsawu ngoba wadla inyama yenyamazana yakhe; kodwa uRebeka wathanda uJakobe.
Isaaka n’ayagala Esawu kubanga yalyanga ku muyiggo gwe, naye Lebbeeka ye n’ayagala Yakobo.
29 Kwathi uJakobe esephekile ukudla okuphekiweyo, kwasekufika uEsawu evela egangeni, ekhathele.
Lumu Yakobo yali afumba enva, Esawu n’ajja ng’ava ku ttale; enjala ng’emuluma nnyo.
30 UEsawu wasesithi kuJakobe: Ake ungivumele ngiginye kokubomvu lokho okubomvu, ngoba ngikhathele. Ngalokhu babiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi uEdoma.
Esawu n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Mpa mpute ku nva ezo, kubanga enjala ejula kunzita.” Kyeyava ayitibwa Edomu.
31 UJakobe wasesithi: Ngithengisela lamuhla ilungelo lobuzibulo bakho.
Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Sooka onguze obukulu bwo.”
32 UEsawu wasesithi: Khangela, sengizakufa; njalo liyini kimi ilungelo lobuzibulo?
Esawu n’agamba nti, “Laba Ndikumpi n’okufa, obukulu bungasa ki?”
33 UJakobe wasesithi: Funga kimi lamuhla. Wasefunga kuye, wathengisa ilungelo lobuzibulo bakhe kuJakobe.
Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Sooka ondayirire.” Awo Esawu n’amulayirira, olwo n’aguza Yakobo obukulu bwe.
34 UJakobe wasenika uEsawu isinkwa lokudla okuphekiweyo kwamalentili; wasesidla wanatha, wasukuma wahamba; ngalokho uEsawu wadelela ilungelo lobuzibulo bakhe.
Yakobo n’alyoka awa Esawu emmere n’enva, n’alya n’anywa, n’agolokoka n’agenda. Bw’atyo Esawu n’anyooma obukulu bwe.
