Uumama 25
1 Abrahaamis niitii biraa kan maqaan ishee Qexuuraa jedhamu fuudhe.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 Isheenis Zimraan, Yoqshaan, Medaan, Midiyaan, Yishbaaqii fi Shuwaa isaaf deesse.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Yoqshaan Shebaa fi Dedaan dhalche; ilmaan Dedaan immoo Ashuurim, Letuushimotaa fi Leʼumoota turan.
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 Ilmaan Midiyaan Eefaa, Eefer, Henook, Abiidaa fi Eldaaʼaa turan. Warri kunneen hundi sanyiiwwan Qexuuraa ti.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Abrahaam waan qabu hundumaa Yisihaaqiif kenne.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Ilmaan saajjatoowwan isaatiif garuu utuma lubbuun jiruu kennaa kenneefii ilma isaa Yisihaaq biraa gara biyya baʼa biiftuutti isaan erge.
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 Abrahaam waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi torbaatamii shan jiraate.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Innis umurii dheeraa fi jireenya gaarii jiraatee dulloomee hafuura dhumaa baafatee duʼe; saba isaattis dabalame.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Ilmaan isaa Yisihaaqii fi Ishmaaʼeel lafa qotiisaa Efroon ilma Zoohar namicha gosa Heeti sanaa keessatti holqa Makfelaa kan Mamree biratti argamutti isa awwaalan.
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 Lafti qotiisaa sunis kan Abrahaam Heetota irraa bitatee dha; Abrahaamis achitti niitii isaa Saaraa biratti awwaalame.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 Erga Abrahaam duʼee booddee Waaqni ilma isaa Yisihaaqin eebbise; Yisihaaqis Beʼeer Lahaayirooʼii bira jiraate.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Seenaan maatii Ishmaaʼeel ilma Abrahaam kan Aggaar garbittiin Saaraa intalli biyya Gibxi sun Abrahaamiif deesse sanaa kana.
(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 Maqaan ilmaan Ishmaaʼeel kan akkuma dhaloota isaaniitti tartiibaan barreeffame kana: Nabaayooti ilma Ishmaaʼeel hangafticha, Qeedaar, Adbiʼeel, Mibsaami,
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 Mishmaa, Duumaa, Maasaa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadaad, Teemaa, Yexuur, Naafiishii fi Qeedmaa.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Jarri kunneen ilmaan Ishmaaʼeel; maqaawwan kunneenis akkuma gandootaa fi iddoo qubata isaaniitti maqaawwan bulchitoota gosoota kudha lamaanii ti.
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 Ishmaaʼeel waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi soddomii torba jiraate; innis hafuura dhumaa baafatee duʼe; saba isaattis dabalame.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Sanyiin isaa immoo daangaa Gibxi bira, karaa Asooritti geessu irra, lafa Hawiilaa jalqabee hamma Shuuriitti jiru irra jiraatan. Isaanis obboloota isaanii hundatti diina taʼanii jiraatan.
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 Seenaan maatii Yisihaaq ilma Abrahaam kana. Abrahaam Yisihaaqin dhalche;
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Yisihaaq yeroo Ribqaa fuudhetti nama waggaa afurtamaa ture; Ribqaan kunis intala Betuuʼeel namicha Arraam kan kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitii fi obboleettii Laabaa namicha Arraam sanaa ti.
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 Yisihaaq sababii niitiin isaa dhabduu turteef Waaqayyo isheef kadhate. Waaqayyos kadhannaa isaatiif deebii kennee niitiin isaa Ribqaani ulfoofte.
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 Daaʼimmanis garaa ishee keessatti wal dhiibaa turan; isheenis, “Wanni kun maaliif natti dhufe?” jette; kanaafuu Waaqayyo gaafachuu dhaqxe.
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 Waaqayyo immoo akkana jedheen; “Saboota lamatu gadameessa kee keessa jira; uummanni lamaan ati deessus gargari baʼu; sabni tokko saba kaan irra ni jabaata; inni hangafni isa quxisuu tajaajila.”
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 Yeroo daʼumsi ishee gaʼetti ilmaan lakkuutu gadameessa ishee keessa ture.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Mucaan jalqabatti dhalate diimaa dha; dhagni isaa guutuun uffata rifeensa qabu fakkaata ture; kanaafuu Esaawu jedhanii isa moggaasan.
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 Kana booddee obboleessi isaa koomee Esaawu harkaan qabatee gad baʼe; maqaan isaas Yaaqoob jedhame. Yeroo Ribqaan isaan deessetti, Yisihaaq nama waggaa jaatamaa ture.
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 Ijoolleen kunis ni guddattan; Esaawu adamsaa beekamaa fi nama bakkee ooluu taʼe; Yaaqoob garuu nama calʼisaa dunkaana keessa oolu taʼe.
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 Yisihaaq waan foon bineensa bosonaa miʼeeffateef Esaawun jaallate; Ribqaan garuu Yaaqoobin jaallatte.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Gaaf tokko utuu Yaaqoob ittoo qopheessaa jiruu Esaawu akka malee beelaʼee bakkeedhaa dhufe.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Innis Yaaqoobiin, “Ani akka malee beelaʼeeraatii, mee ittoo diimaa sana irraa xinnoo naa kenni!” jedhe. Sababiin inni Edoom jedhameefis kanuma.
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 Yaaqoob immoo deebisee, “Dura mirga hangafummaa keetii natti gurguri kaa” jedhe.
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Esaawus, “Kunoo, ani duʼuu gaʼeera; yoos mirgi hangafummaa maal na fayyada ree?” jedhe.
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 Yaaqoob garuu, “Duraan dursii naa kakadhu” jedheen; akkasiin inni kakatee mirga hangafummaa isaa Yaaqoobitti gurgurate.
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 Ergasiis Yaaqoob buddeenaa fi ittoo misiraa Esaawuuf kenne; innis nyaatee dhugee kaʼee achii deeme. Esaawus akkasiin mirga hangafummaa isaa tuffate.
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.
