1
Ibrahimu alioa mke mwingine jina lake akiitwa Ketura.
Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
2
Akamzalia Zimrani, na Yokshani, na Medani, na Midiani, na Ishbaki, na Sua.
and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3
Yokshani akamzaa Sheba, na Dedani; na wana wa Dedani walikuwa Waashuri na Waletushi, na Waleumi.
Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
4
Na wana wa Midiani walikuwa, Efa, na Eferi, na Hanoki, na Abida, na Eldaa. Hao wote walikuwa ni wana wa Ketura.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
5
Ibrahimu akampa Isaka yote aliyokuwa nayo.
Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
6
Lakini wana wa masuria aliokuwa nao Ibrahimu, Ibrahimu akawapa zawadi, naye akawaondoa katika mahali alipokaa Isaka mwanawe, wakati wa uhai wake, waende pande za mashariki, mpaka nchi ya Kedemu.
But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
7
Hizi ndizo siku za miaka ya maisha ya Ibrahimu alizoishi, miaka mia, na sabini na mitano.
Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
8
Ibrahimu akafariki, naye akafa katika uzee mwema, mzee sana, ameshiba siku, akakusanyika kwa watu wake.
And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
9
Isaka na Ishmaeli wanawe wakamzika katika pango ya Makpela, katika shamba la Efroni bin Sohari Mhiti, lielekealo Mamre.
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
10
Katika lile shamba alilolinunua Ibrahimu kwa wazawa Hethi, huko ndiko alikozikwa Ibrahimu na Sara mkewe.
This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
11
Ikawa, baada ya kufa kwake Ibrahimu, Mungu akambariki Isaka mwanawe. Naye Isaka akakaa karibu ya Beer-lahai-roi.
After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
12
Hivi ndivyo vizazi vya Ishmaeli, mwana wa Ibrahimu, ambaye Hajiri, Mmisri, mjakazi wa Sara, alimzalia Ibrahimu.
This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
13
Na haya ndiyo majina ya wana wa Ishmaeli, kwa majina yao, na kwa vizazi vyao. Mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Ishmaeli, ni Nebayothi, na Kedari, na Abdeeli, na Mibsamu,
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14
na Mishma, na Duma, na Masa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15
na Hadadi, na Tema, na Yeturi, na Nafishi, na Kedema.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16
Hao ndio wana wa Ishmaeli, na hayo ni majina yao, katika miji yao, na katika vituo vyao, maseyidi kumi na wawili kwa kufuata jamaa zao.
These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
17
Na hii ndiyo miaka ya maisha ya Ishmaeli, miaka mia na thelathini na saba. Akakata roho, akafa, akakusanyika kwa watu wake.
Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
18
Wakakaa toka Havila mpaka Shuri, unaoelekea Misri, kwa njia ya kwenda Ashuru. Akakaa katikati ya ndugu zake wote.
Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
19
Na hivi ndivyo vizazi vya Isaka, mwana wa Ibrahimu. Ibrahimu alimzaa Isaka.
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20
Isaka akawa mwenye miaka arobaini alipomtwaa Rebeka binti Bethueli, Mshami, wa Padan-aramu, ndugu wa Labani, Mshami, kuwa mke wake.
and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21
Isaka akamwomba Bwana kwa ajili ya mke wake, maana alikuwa tasa. Naye Bwana akamwitikia, na Rebeka mkewe akachukua mimba.
Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
22
Watoto wakashindana tumboni mwake. Naye akasema, Ikiwa ni hivi, kuishi kwanifaa nini? Akaenda kumwuliza Bwana.
But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
23
Bwana akamwambia,Mataifa mawili yamo tumboni mwako,Na kabila mbili za watu watafarakana tangu tumboni mwako.Kabila moja litakuwa hodari kuliko la pili,Na mkubwa atamtumikia mdogo.
and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
24
Siku zake za kuzaa zilipotimia, tazama! Mapacha walikuwamo tumboni mwake.
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
25
Wa kwanza akatoka, naye alikuwa mwekundu mwili wote kama vazi la nywele. Wakamwita jina lake Esau.
The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
26
Baadaye ndugu yake akatoka, na mkono wake unamshika Esau kisigino. Akaitwa jina lake Yakobo. Isaka alikuwa mwenye miaka sitini mkewe alipowazaa.
After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
27
Watoto wakakua, Esau alikuwa mtu ajuaye kuwinda wanyama, mtu wa nyikani, na Yakobo alikuwa mtu mtulivu, mwenye kukaa hemani.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
28
Basi Isaka akampenda Esau, kwa sababu alikula mawindo yake, na Rebeka akampenda Yakobo.
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29
Yakobo akapika chakula cha dengu. Esau akaja kutoka nyikani, naye alikuwa amechoka sana.
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
30
Esau akamwambia Yakobo, Tafadhali, unipe hicho chakula chekundu nile, kwa kuwa ninazimia mimi. Kwa hiyo walimwita jina lake Edomu.
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
31
Yakobo akamwambia, Kwanza niuzie leo haki yako ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.
“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
32
Esau akasema, Tazama, mimi ni karibu kufa, itanifaa nini haki hii ya uzazi?
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
33
Yakobo akamwambia, Uniapie kwanza. Naye akamwapia, akamwuzia Yakobo haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.
“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
34
Yakobo akampa Esau mkate na chakula cha dengu, naye akala, akanywa, kisha akaondoka, akaenda zake. Hivyo Esau akaidharau haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.
Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
