Mwanzo 25
1 Abraham akaoa mke mwingine; jina lake aliitwa Ketura.
And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.
2 Akamzalia Zimrani, Jokshani, Medani, Midiani, Ishbaki, na Shua.
And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.
3 Jokshani akamzaa Sheba na Dedani. Wana wa Dedani walikuwa ni Waashuru, Waletushi, na Waleumi.
And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.
4 Wana wa Midiani walikuwa ni Efa, Eferi, Hanoki, Abida, na Eldaa. Hawa wote walikuwa ni wana wa Ketura.
And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.
5 Abraham akampatia Isaka vitu vyote alivyokuwa navyo.
But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.
6 Ingawaje, wakati alipokua angali akiishi, aliwapatia zawadi wana wa masuria wake na kuwapeleka katika nchi ya mashariki, mbali na Isaka, mwanae.
But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east.
7 Hizi ndizo zilikuwa siku za miaka ya uhai wake Abraham alizoishi, miaka 175.
And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Abraham akapumua pumzi ya mwisho na akafa katika uzee mwema, mzee aliye shiba siku, na akakusanywa kwa watu wake.
And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.
9 Isaka na Ishmaili, wanae wakamzika katika pango la Makipela, katika shamba la Efron mwana wa Soari Mhiti, pango lililokuwa karibu na Mamre.
And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre:
10 Shamba hili Abraham alilinunua kwa watoto wa Hethi. Abraham akazikwa pale pamoja na Sara mkewe.
[even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.
11 Baada ya kifo cha Abraham, Mungu akambariki Isaka mwanae, na Isaka akaishi karibu na Beerlalahairoi.
And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived by the well of the vision.
12 Na sasa hawa ndio walikuwa wana wa Ishimaeli, mwana wa Abraham, ambaye Hajiri Mmisri mtumishi wake Sara, alizaa kwa Abraham.
And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the handmaid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.
13 Haya ndiyo yalikuwa majina ya wana wa Ishimaeli, kuanzia mzaliwa wa kwanza: Nebayothi - mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Ishimaeli, Kedari, Adbeeli, Mibsamu,
And these [are] the names of the sons of Ismael, according to the names of their generations. The firstborn of Ismael, Nabaioth, and Kedar, and Nabdeel, and Massam,
14 Mishma, Duma, Masa,
and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,
15 Hadadi, Tema, Yeturi, Nafishi, na Kedema.
and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.
16 Hawa ndio walikuwa wana wa Ishimaeli, na haya ndiyo majina yao, kwa vijiji vyao, na katika vituo vyao; Maseyidi kumi na wawili kufuatana na kabila zao.
These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.
17 Hii ndiyo ilikuwa miaka ya Ishimaeli, miaka 137: akapumua pumzi yake ya mwisho na akafa, na akakusanywa pamoja na watu wake.
And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.
18 Walioshi toka Havila mpaka Shuri, ambayo iko karibu na Misri, kuelekea Ashuru. Waliishi kwa uadui kati yao.
And he lived from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he lived in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Haya ndiyo yalikuwa matukio kumuhusu Isaka, mwana wa Abraham: Abraham alimzaa Isaka.
And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.
20 Isaka alikuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini alipomuoa Rebeka, binti wa ethueli Mshami wa Padani Aramu, ndugu wa Labani Mshami.
Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took as wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.
21 Isaka akamwomba Yahwe kwa ajili ya mke wake kwa sababu alikuwa tasa, na Yahwe akajibu maombi yake, Rebeka mkewe akabeba mimba.
And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.
22 Watoto hawa walipokuwa tumboni mwake wakasumbuka, naye akasema, “Kwa nini jambo hili linatokea kwangu mimi?” Akaenda kumuuliza Yahwe kuhusu jambo hili.
And the babes leapt within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 Yahwe akamwambia, “Mataifa mawili yako katika tumbo lako, na mataifa haya mawili yatatengana ndani yako. Taifa moja litakuwa lenye nguvu kuliko lingine, na yule mkubwa atamtumikia mdogo.
And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Ulipo wadia wakati wa kujifungua, tazama, kulikuwa na mapacha ndani ya tumbo lake.
And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.
25 Wakwanza akatoka akiwa mwekundu mwili wote kama vazi la nywele. Wakamwita jina lake Esau.
And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.
26 Baada ya hapo ndugu yake akatoka. Mkono wake ukiwa umeshika kisigino cha Esau. Akaitwa jina lake Yakobo. Isaka alikuwa na umri wa miaka sitini wakati mke wake alipo wazaa hawa watoto.
And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them.
27 Vijana hawa wakakua, Hesau akawa mwindaji hodari, mtu wa nyikani; lakini Yakobo alikuwa mtu mkimya, aliye tumia muda wake akiwa katika mahema.
And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.
28 Kisha Isaka akampenda Esau kwa sababu alikula wanyama ambao alikuwa anawinda, lakini Rebeka akampenda Yakobo.
And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 Yakobo akapika mchuzi. Esau akaja kutoka nyikani, akiwa dhaifu kutokana na njaa.
And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.
30 Esau akamwambia Yakobo, “Nilishe mchuzi mwekundu. Tafadhari, nimechoka!” Na hii ndiyo sababu jina lake aliitwa Edomu.
And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.
31 Yakobo akasema, “Kwanza uniuzie haki yako ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.”
And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day your birthright.
32 Esau akasema, “Tazama, nakaribia kufa. Ni nini kwangu haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza?”
And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me?
33 Yakobo akasema, “Kwanza uape kwangu mimi,” kwa hiyo Esau akaapa kiapo na kwa njia hii akawa ameuza haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza kwa Yakobo.
And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Yakobo akampatia Esau mkate pamoja na mchuzi wa dengu. Akala na kunywa, kisha akainuka na akaenda zake. Kwa njia hii Esau akawa ameidharau haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.
And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.
