Mwanzo 36
1 Hivi ndivyo vizazi vya Esau (yaani Edomu).
Now this is the history of the generations of Esau (that 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 his 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, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth.
4 Ada akamzalia Esau Elifazi, Basemathi akamzaa Reueli,
Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz. Basemath bore Reuel.
5 Oholibama akamzaa Yeushi, Yalamu na Kora. Hawa ndio wana wa Esau waliozaliwa kwake huko Kanaani.
Oholibamah bore Jeush, 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.
Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, with his livestock, all his animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went into a land away 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.
