Genesis 25
1 Abrahamu sì tún fẹ́ aya mìíràn, tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Ketura.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 Ó sì bí Simrani, Jokṣani, Medani, Midiani, Iṣbaki, àti Ṣua
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jokṣani ni baba Ṣeba àti Dedani, àwọn ìran Dedani ni àwọn ara Asṣuri, Letusi àti Leumiti.
Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
4 Àwọn ọmọ Midiani ni Efani, Eferi, Hanoku, Abida àti Eldaa. Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ìran Ketura.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Abrahamu sì fi ohun gbogbo tí ó ní fún Isaaki.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n kí Abrahamu tó kú, Abrahamu fún àwọn ọmọ tí àwọn àlè rẹ̀ bí fún un ní ẹ̀bùn, ó sì lé wọn jáde lọ fún Isaaki ọmọ rẹ sí ilẹ̀ ìlà-oòrùn.
But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
7 Gbogbo àpapọ̀ ọdún tí Abrahamu lò láyé jẹ́ igba kan ó dín mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Abrahamu sì kú ní ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ̀. Ó dàgbà, ó darúgbó kí ó tó kú. A sì sin ín sí ibojì àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, Isaaki àti Iṣmaeli sì sin ín sínú ihò àpáta ni Makpela ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ Mamre, ní oko Efroni ọmọ Sohari ará Hiti,
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
10 inú oko tí Abrahamu rà lọ́wọ́ ara Hiti yìí ni a sin Abrahamu àti Sara aya rẹ̀ sí.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 Lẹ́yìn ikú Abrahamu, Ọlọ́run sì bùkún fún Isaaki ọmọ rẹ̀, tí ó ń gbé nítòsí kànga Lahai-Roi ní ìgbà náà.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Wọ̀nyí ni ìran Iṣmaeli, ọmọ Abrahamu ẹni tí Hagari ará Ejibiti, ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Sara bí fún un.
(These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
13 Wọ̀nyí ni orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Iṣmaeli bí a ṣe bí wọn, bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti orí: Nebaioti àkọ́bí, Kedari, Adbeeli, Mibsamu,
These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Miṣima, Duma, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadadi, Tema, Jeturi, Nafiṣi, àti Kedema.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Wọ̀nyí sì ni orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Iṣmaeli, wọ̀nyí ni orúkọ àwọn ọba méjìlá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yà wọn.
The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
17 Àpapọ̀ ọdún tí Iṣmaeli lò láyé jẹ́ ẹ̀tàdínlógóje ọdún, a sì sin ín pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Àwọn ìran rẹ̀ sì tẹ̀dó sí agbègbè Hafila títí tí ó fi dé Ṣuri, ní ẹ̀bá ààlà Ejibiti, bí ìwọ ti ń lọ sí ìhà Asiria. Ó sì kú níwájú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ gbogbo.
His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
19 Wọ̀nyí ni ìtàn ìran Isaaki ọmọ Abrahamu. Abrahamu bí Isaaki.
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Nígbà tí Isaaki di ọmọ ogójì ọdún ni ó gbé Rebeka ọmọ Betueli ará Aramu ti Padani-Aramu tí í ṣe arábìnrin Labani ará Aramu ní ìyàwó.
and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
21 Isaaki sì gbàdúrà sì Olúwa, nítorí aya rẹ̀ tí ó yàgàn, Olúwa sì gbọ́ àdúrà rẹ̀, Rebeka sì lóyún.
Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
22 Àwọn ọmọ náà ń gbún ara wọn nínú rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Èéṣe tí èyí ń ṣẹlẹ̀ sí mi,” ó sì lọ béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.
She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
23 Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, “Orílẹ̀-èdè méjì ni ń bẹ nínú rẹ, irú ènìyàn méjì ni yóò yà láti inú rẹ; àwọn ènìyàn kan yóò jẹ́ alágbára ju èkejì lọ, ẹ̀gbọ́n ni yóò máa sin àbúrò.”
Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
24 Nígbà tí ó tó àkókò fún un láti bímọ, ìbejì ni ó wà nínú rẹ̀, ọkùnrin sì ni wọ́n.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Èyí tí ó kọ jáde jẹ́ ọmọ pupa, irun sì bo gbogbo ara rẹ̀ bí aṣọ onírun, nítorí náà, wọ́n pè é ní Esau.
The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
26 Lẹ́yìn èyí ni arákùnrin èkejì jáde wá, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì di Esau ni gìgísẹ̀ mú, nítorí náà ni wọn ṣe pe orúkọ rẹ ni Jakọbu. Ọmọ ọgọ́ta ọdún ni Isaaki, nígbà tí Rebeka bí wọn.
Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
27 Àwọn ọmọkùnrin náà sì dàgbà. Esau sì di ọlọ́gbọ́n ọdẹ, ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn àti máa dúró ní oko. Jakọbu sì jẹ́ ènìyàn jẹ́ẹ́jẹ́ tí ó ń gbé láàrín ìlú.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
28 Isaaki, ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn ẹran igbó fẹ́ràn Esau nítorí ẹran igbó tí Esau máa ń pa, ṣùgbọ́n Rebeka fẹ́ràn Jakọbu.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Ní ọjọ́ kan, Jakọbu sì pa ìpẹ̀tẹ̀, Esau sì ti igbó ọdẹ dé, ó sì ti rẹ̀ ẹ́.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Esau wí fún Jakọbu pé, “Èmí bẹ̀ ọ, fi ìpẹ̀tẹ̀ rẹ pupa n nì bọ́ mi, nítorí tí ó rẹ̀ mí gidigidi.” (Nítorí náà ni a ṣe ń pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Edomu.)
He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
31 Jakọbu dáhùn pé, “Kò burú, ṣùgbọ́n kọ́kọ́ ta ogún ìbí rẹ fún mi ná.”
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Esau sì dáhùn pé, “Wò ó mo ti fẹ́rẹ kú, àǹfààní kín sì ni ogún ìbí jẹ́ fún mi?”
Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
33 Ṣùgbọ́n, Jakọbu dáhùn pé, “Kọ́kọ́ búra fún mi pé tèmi ni ogún ìbí náà yóò jẹ́.” Báyìí ni Esau búra tí ó sì gbé ogún ìbí rẹ̀ tà fún Jakọbu.
Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu fi àkàrà àti ìpẹ̀tẹ̀ lẹntili fún Esau. Ó sì jẹ, ó sì mu, ó sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ. Báyìí ni Esau gan ogún ìbí rẹ̀.
Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
