Mwanzo 36

1 Hivi ndivyo vizazi vya Esau (yaani Edomu).

Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

2 Esau akaoa wake kutoka miongoni mwa wanawake wa Kanaani: Ada binti wa Eloni Mhiti, Oholibama binti wa Ana, mjukuu wa kike wa Sibeoni Mhivi,

Esau took wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

3 pia akaoa Basemathi binti wa Ishmaeli, dada yake Nebayothi.

and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth.

4 Ada akamzalia Esau Elifazi, Basemathi akamzaa Reueli,

Then Adah bore Eliphaz. Basemath conceived Reuel.

5 Oholibama akamzaa Yeushi, Yalamu na Kora. Hawa ndio wana wa Esau waliozaliwa kwake huko Kanaani.

Oholibamah conceived Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6 Esau akawachukua wake zake, watoto wake wa kiume na wa kike na wote wa nyumbani mwake, mifugo yake pamoja na wanyama wake wengine wote na mali yake yote ambayo alikuwa ameipata akiwa Kanaani, akahamia katika nchi iliyo mbali na Yakobo ndugu yake.

Then Esau took his wives, and sons, and daughters, and every soul of his house, and his substance, and cattle, and whatever he was able to obtain in the land of Canaan, and he went into another region, withdrawing from his brother Jacob.

7 Mali zao zilikuwa nyingi sana kiasi kwamba haikuwa rahisi wao kuishi pamoja, nchi waliyokuwa wakiishi isingewatosha wote kwa ajili ya mifugo yao.

For they were very wealthy and were not able to live together. Neither was the land of their sojourn able to sustain them, because of the multitude of their flocks.

8 Kwa hiyo Esau (ambaye ni Edomu) aliishi katika nchi ya kilima huko Seiri.

And Esau lived at mount Seir: he is Edom.

9 Hawa ndio wazao wa Esau, baba wa Waedomu, katika nchi ya kilima cha Seiri.

So these are the generations of Esau, the father of Edom, at mount Seir,

10 Haya ndiyo majina ya wana wa Esau: Elifazi, mwana wa Esau ambaye mkewe Ada alimzalia; na Reueli, mwana wa Esau ambaye mkewe Basemathi alimzalia.

and these are the names of his sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah, the wife of Esau, likewise Reuel, the son of Basemath, his wife.

11 Wana wa Elifazi ni: Temani, Omari, Sefo, Gatamu na Kenazi.

And Eliphaz had sons: Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenez.

12 Elifazi mwana wa Esau alikuwa pia na suria aliyeitwa Timna, ambaye alimzalia Amaleki. Hawa ndio waliokuwa wajukuu wa Ada mke wa Esau.

Now Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau. And she bore him Amalek. These are the sons of Adah, the wife of Esau.

13 Wana wa Reueli ni: Nahathi, Zera, Shama na Miza. Hawa ndio waliokuwa wajukuu wa Basemathi mkewe Esau.

18 Wakuu wa wana wa Esau ambao mkewe Oholibama alimzalia ni: Yeushi, Yalamu na Kora. Hawa ndio wakuu waliotoka kwa mke wa Esau, Oholibama binti Ana.

Now these are the sons of Oholibamah, the wife of Esau: leader Jeush, leader Jalam, leader Korah. These were the leaders of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the wife of Esau.

19 Hawa ndio waliokuwa wana wa Esau (ndiye Edomu), na hawa ndio waliokuwa wakuu wao.

And he had a son Dishon, and a daughter Oholibamah.

31 Wafuatao ni wafalme waliotawala Edomu kabla ya mfalme yeyote wa Israeli kutawala:

Now before the sons of Israel had a king, the kings who ruled in the land of Edom were these:

32 Bela mwana wa Beori alikuwa mfalme wa Edomu. Mji wake uliitwa Dinhaba.

Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

33 Bela alipofariki, Yobabu mwana wa Zera kutoka Bosra akawa mfalme baada yake.

Then Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah from Bozrah, reigned in his place.

34 Yobabu alipofariki, Hushamu kutoka nchi ya Watemani akawa mfalme baada yake.

And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

35 Hushamu alipofariki, Hadadi mwana wa Bedadi, aliyeshinda Midiani katika nchi ya Moabu, akawa mfalme baada yake. Mji wake uliitwa Avithi.

Likewise, this one having died, Hadad the son of Bedad reigned in his place. He struck down Midian in the region of Moab. And the name of his city was Avith.

36 Hadadi alipofariki, Samla kutoka Masreka akawa mfalme baada yake.

And when Adad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.

37 Samla alipofariki, Shauli kutoka Rehobothi ngʼambo ya Mto Frati akawa mfalme baada yake.

Likewise, this one being dead, Shaul of the river Rehoboth, reigned in his place.

And when he also had passed away, Baal-hanan, the son of Achbor, succeeded to the kingdom.

39 Baal-Hanani mwana wa Akbori alipofariki, Hadadi akawa mfalme baada yake. Mji wake uliitwa Pau, na mkewe aliitwa Mehetabeli binti Matredi, binti Me-Zahabu.

Likewise, this one being dead, Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau. And his wife was called Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.

40 Hawa ndio wakuu waliotokana na Esau, kwa majina, kufuatana na koo zao na nchi zao: Timna, Alva, Yethethi,
