1 Hivi ndivyo vizazi vya Esau (aliyeitwa pia Edom).
(Here is/I will now give you) a list of the descendants of Esau, whose other name was Edom.
2 Esau akachukua wakeze kutoka kwa Wakanaani. Hawa walikuwa wake zake: Ada binti Eloni Mhiti; Oholibama binti Ana, mjukuu wa Zibeoni Mhivi; na
Esau married three women from the Canaan region: Adah, the daughter of Elon from the Heth people-group; Oholibamah, who was the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon from the Hiv people-group;
3 Basemathi, binti Ishmaeli, dada wa Nebayothi.
and Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
4 Ada akamzaa Elifazi kwa Esau, na Basemathi akamzaa Reueli.

Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons of Esau were born while he was living in the Canaan region.
6 Esau akawachukua wakeze, wanawe, binti zake, na watu wote wa nyumba yake, mifugo wake - wanyama wake wote, na mali yake yote, aliyokuwa amekusanya katika nchi ya Kanaani, na akaenda katika nchi iliyoko mbali kutoka kwa Yakobo nduguye.
Jacob and Esau had very many possessions. The result was that they needed more land for their livestock. The land where they were living was not big enough for both of them. They had too much livestock. So Esau, whose other name was Edom, had taken his wives and sons and daughters and all the other members of his household, his sheep and goats and his other animals, and all the other things he had obtained in Canaan land, and they had moved to an area that was away from Jacob.
7 Alifanya hivi kwa sababu mali zao zilikuwa nyingi sana kwa wao kuishi pamoja. Nchi waliyokuwa wamekaa isingeweza kuwafaa kwa mifugo yao.
