1 Abraham waree ɔbea foforo bi a ne din de Ketura.
And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:
2 Abraham ne Ketura woo saa mma a wɔn din didi so yi: Simran, Yoksan, Medan, Midian, Yisbak ne Sua.
Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.
3 Yoksan woo Seba ne Dedan. Dedan asefo ne Asurfo, Letusfo ne Leumfo.
Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.
4 Midian woo Efa, Efer, Henok, Abida ne Eldaa. Eyinom nyinaa yɛ Ketura asefo.
But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.
5 Abraham de nʼagyapade nyinaa maa Isak.
And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac.
6 Nanso bere a ɔte ase no, ɔmaa ne mpenamma akyɛde, na oyii wɔn fii ne babarima Isak nkyɛn ma wɔkɔɔ apuei fam asase bi so.
And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.
7 Abraham nkwanna nyinaa kosii mfe ɔha aduɔson anum.
And the days of Abraham’s life were a hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Abraham nyin bɔɔ akwakoraa posoposo ansa na ɔrewu akɔka ne mpanyimfo ho.
And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.
9 Ne mmabarima Isak ne Ismael siee no wɔ Makpela boda a ɛwɔ Efron no mu. Na ɛhɔ yɛ Hetini Sohar babarima no afuw a ɛwɔ Mamrɛ apuei fam.
And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre;
10 Eyi ne asase a Abraham tɔ fii Hetifo nkyɛn no. Ɛhɔ na wosiee Abraham ne ne yere Sara.
Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.
11 Abraham wu akyi no, Onyankopɔn hyiraa ne ba Isak a na saa bere no ɔte Beer-Lahai-Roi abura no ho no.
And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.
12 Eyi ne Abraham babarima Ismael a Sara afenaa Hagar a ɔyɛ Misraimni no woo no maa Abraham no asefo ho asɛm.
These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara’s servant, bore unto him:
13 Wɔn a wodidi so yi yɛ Ismael mmabarima a wɔabobɔ wɔn din fi mpanyin mu no. Na Nebaiot yɛ Ismael abakan. Wɔn a wodidi so yi nso yɛ Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.
14 Misma, Duma, Masa,
And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafis ne Kedema.
Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
16 Saa din a wɔabobɔ yi yɛ Ismael mmabarima no. Saa din yi na ɛdeda mmusuakuw dumien ne wɔn atenae so.
These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes.
17 Ismael dii mfirihyia ɔha aduasa ason ansa na ɔrewu. Owu ma wosiee no wɔ ne nkurɔfo mu.
And the years of Ismael’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people.
18 Ismael asefo yi tenatenaa nsase a efi Hawila kosi Sur a ɛbɛn Misraim pɛɛ wɔ Asiria ntentenso. Daa na akokoakoko wɔ mmusuakuw yi ntam.
And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Abraham babarima Isak ne nʼasefo ho asɛm ni. Abraham woo Isak.
These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:
20 Isak dii mfirihyia aduanan no, ɔwaree Rebeka a ɔyɛ Aramni Betuel a ofi Paddan-Aram no babea. Rebeka yɛ Aramni Laban nuabea.
Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
21 Isak waree Rebeka mfe bebree a na wɔnwo. Enti Isak bɔɔ Awurade mpae, srɛɛ ɔba maa ne yere. Akyiri no, Awurade tiee ne mpaebɔ, maa ne yere Rebeka nyinsɛnee.
And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
22 Bere a Rebeka nyinsɛnee no, ɛtɔ da a, na mmofra no di aperepere wɔ ne yafunu mu. Sɛ ɛba saa a, obisa ne ho se, “Dɛn na ɛreyɛ me yi?” Afei, ɔbɔɔ mpae bisaa Awurade nea ɛkyerɛ.
But the children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord.
23 Awurade buaa no se, “Aman abien na wɔwɔ wo yafunu mu. Wɔbɛtetew nnipa baanu a wɔwɔ wo yafunu mu no mu. Mmofra baanu no, ɔbaako asefo bɛyɛ ahoɔdenfo asen ne nua a ɔka ne ho no asefo. Na ɔpanyin no bɛsom akumaa no.”
And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Rebeka awo duu so no, ɔwoo ntaten.
And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
25 Na nea odii kan bae no yɛ ɔkɔkɔɔ a ne ho nwi yɛ kuhaa te sɛ nea ɔhyɛ nwi atade. Enti wɔtoo no din Esau.
He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.
26 Eyi akyi no, ne nua no bae a na ne nsa kura Esau nantin; enti wɔtoo ne din Yakob. Rebeka woo wɔn no, na Isak adi mfe aduosia.
Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
27 Mmofra no nyin no, Esau bɛyɛɛ ɔbɔmmɔfo a ɔtow a, ɔmfom. Na ɔyɛ ha fa wuram baabiara. Yakob nso bɛyɛɛ obi a ɔyɛ komm a ɔmpɛ ne ho asɛm. Na bere biara, ɔpɛ sɛ ɔtena fie.
And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
28 Na Isak pɛ Esau asɛm yiye, efisɛ na bere biara ɔkɔyɛ ha de hanam a Isak pɛ ba fie. Nanso na Rebeka de, ɔpɛ Yakob asɛm.
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 Da bi a Esau fi wuram bae a na ɔkɔm de no yiye no, ɔbɛtoo sɛ ne nua kumaa Yakob nso renoa aduan bi a ani yɛ kɔkɔɔ na ɛyɛ akɔnnɔ nso.
And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
30 Ɔka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Mesrɛ wo, ma me wʼaduan a woanoa yi bi nni!” Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛ Esau sɛ Edom, a nkyerɛase ne ade kɔkɔɔ.
Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
31 Yakob buae se, “Tɔn wo panyin no ma me ansa.”
And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
32 Esau kae se, “Ɔkɔm rekum me, na mede panyin reyɛ dɛn?”
He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?
33 Yakob buaa Esau se, “Mate, ka ntam kyerɛ me wɔ Onyankopɔn anim sɛ, panyin no yɛ me dea.” Esau kaa ntam no de tɔn ne panyin no maa ne nua kumaa Yakob.
Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
34 Enti Yakob maa Esau aduan no bi ma odii. Ɔnom nsu guu so, sɔre kɔɔ ne kwan. Eyi ne ɔkwan a Esau faa so tɔn ne panyin no.
And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.
