His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field that had belonged to Ephron, son of Zohar, the Hittite.
10 munda wakanga watengwa naAbhurahama kubva kumuHiti. Ndimo makavigwa Abhurahama nomukadzi wake Sara.
This was the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
11 Shure kwokufa kwaAbhurahama, Mwari akaropafadza mwanakomana wake Isaka, uyo akagara pedyo neBheeri Rahai Roi.
After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who was living near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yomwanakomana waAbhurahama, iye Ishumaeri, akaberekerwa Abhurahama naHagari muIjipita, murandakadzi waSara.
This is the genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael. His mother Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian slave.

Ishmael's descendants inhabited the region from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. They were forever fighting with one other.
19 Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yomwanakomana waAbhurahama, Isaka. Abhurahama akabereka Isaka,
The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of Isaac.
20 uye Isaka akanga ava namakore makumi mana okuberekwa paakawana Rabheka mwanasikana waBhetueri muAramu, aibva kuPadhani Aramu uye ari hanzvadzi yaRabhani muAramu.
When Isaac was 40 he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Isaka akanyengeterera mukadzi wake kuna Jehovha, nokuti akanga asingabereki. Jehovha akapindura munyengetero wake, uye mukadzi wake Rabheka akava nemimba.
Isaac prayed to the Lord for help on behalf of his wife because she couldn't have children. The Lord answered his prayer and she became pregnant.
22 Vana vakanga vachisundana mukati make, iye akati, “Seiko izvi zvichiitika kwandiri?” Saka akaenda kundobvunza Jehovha.
The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”
23 Jehovha akati kwaari, “Ndudzi mbiri dziri muchizvaro chako, uye marudzi maviri achabuda mauri achaparadzana; rumwe rudzi ruchava nesimba kupfuura rumwe, uye mukuru achashumira muduku.”
“You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”
24 Nguva yokubereka kwake yakati yasvika, onei makanga muna vakomana vaviri muchizvaro chake.
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
25 Akatanga kubuda akanga ari mutsvuku, uye muviri wake wose wakanga wakaita senguo ine mvere; saka vakamutumidza zita rokuti Esau.
The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a coat. So they named him Esau.
26 Shure kwaizvozvo, mununʼuna wake akabuda, ruoko rwake rwakabata chitsitsinho chaEsau; saka akatumidzwa zita rokuti Jakobho. Isaka akanga ava namakore okuberekwa makumi matanhatu Rabheka paakavabereka.
Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they were born.
27 Vakomana vakakura, uye Esau akava mudzimba akachenjera, murume wesango, asi Jakobho akanga ari murume akanyarara, achigara pakati pamatende.
The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents.
28 Sezvo Isaka aifarira nyama yemhuka, aida Esau, asi Rabheka aida Jakobho.
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Rimwe zuva Jakobho paakanga achibika zvokudya, Esau akasvikopinda achibva kusango, aziya nenzara!
One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
30 Akati kuna Jakobho, “Dokurumidzawozve, undipewo zvimwe zvokudya zvakatsvukira izvo ndidye! Ndava kuziya nenzara!” (Ndokusaka akatumidzwawo zita rokuti Edhomu).
“Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)
31 Jakobho akapindura akati, “Tanga wanditengesera udangwe hwako.”
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
32 Esau akati, “Tarira, ndava kuda kufa ini. Ko, udangwe huchandibatsirei?”
“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 Asi Jakobho akati, “Tanga wandipikira.” Saka akapika mhiko kwaari, achitengesa udangwe hwake kuna Jakobho.
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
34 Ipapo Jakobho akapa Esau chingwa nenyemba. Akadya uye akanwa, ipapo akasimuka akaenda. Saka Esau akazvidza udangwe hwake.
Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son.
