¹Zvino Abhurahamu wakawanazve mukadzi, uye zita rake raiva Ke­tura.

¹Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

²Ndokumuberekera Zimurami naJokishani naMedhani, naMidhiani, naIshibhaki, naShua.

²She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

³Jokishani ndokubereka Shebha naDhedhani. Zvino vanakomana vaDhedhani vaiva vaAshuri nevaRetushi nevaReumi.

³Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

⁴Zvino vanakomana vaMidhiani vaiva Efa naEferi naHanoki naAbhidha naEridha. Ava vose vaiva vana vaKetura.

⁴The sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

⁵Abhurahamu ndokupa Isaka zvose zvaaiva nazvo.

⁵Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,

⁶Asi kuvanakomana ve­varongo Abhurahamu vaaiva navo, Abhurahamu wakapa zvipo; akavabvisa pana Isaka mwanakomana wake, iye achiri mupenyu, akavatuma kumabvazuva kunyika yekumabvazuva.

⁶but to the sons of Abraham’s concubines, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

⁷Zvino awa mazuva emakore eupenyu hwaAbhurahamu aakararama, makore zana nemakumi manomwe nemashanu.

⁷These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.

⁸Abhu­rahamu ndokupera, akafa pakukwegura kwakanaka, achembera agutsikana, akaunganidzwa pandudzi dzekwake.

⁸Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

⁹Zvino Isaka naIshimaeri vanako­mana vake vakamuviga mubako reMakapera, mumunda waEfuroni mwanakomana waZohari muHeti, wa­katarisana neMamure,

⁹Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre,

¹⁰munda Abhurahamu waakatenga kuvanakomana vaHeti; ndipo Abhura­hamu paakavigwa pamwe naSara mukadzi wake.

¹⁰the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.

¹¹Zvino zvikaitika shure kwekufa kwaAbhurahamu, kuti Mwari wakaropa­fadza Isaka mwanakomana wake; Isaka ndokugara patsime reRahai-Royi.

¹¹It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

¹²Zvino awa mazera alshimaeri mwa­nakomana waAbhurahamu, Hagari muEgipita, murandakadzi waSara, waakaberekera Abhurahamu.

¹²Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham.

¹³Uye awa mazita evanakomana vaIshimaeri nemazita avo zvichienderana nemazera avo; dangwe raIshimaeri raiva Nebhayoti, naKe­dhari naAdhibheri naMibhisami

¹³These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

¹⁴naMi­shima naDhurina naMasa,

¹⁴Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

¹⁵naHadhadhi naTema, Jeturi, Nafishi, naKedhema;

¹⁵Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

¹⁶ava vanakomana vaIshimaeri, uye awa mazita avo nemisha yavo uye nematende avo; machinda gumi nemaviri zvichienderana nendu­dzi dzavo.

¹⁶These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.

¹⁷Uye awa makore eupenyu hwaIshimaeri, makore zana nemakumi matatu nemanomwe; akapera, akafa, akaunganidzwa pandudzi dzekwake.

¹⁷These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.

¹⁸Zvino vakagara kubva paHavhira kusvi­kira paShuri nemberi kweEgipita, uchienda Asiria; akagara pamberi pechiso chehama dzake dzose.

¹⁸They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

¹⁹Zvino awa mazera alsaka mwanako­mana waAbhurahamu; Abhurahamu waka­bereka Isaka.

¹⁹This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

²⁰Zvino Isaka wakange ane makore makumi mana pakuwana kwake Rabheka, mukunda waBhetueri, muSiriya, wePadhani-Aramu, hanzvadzi yaRa­bhani muSiriya, kuti ave mukadzi wake.

²⁰Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

²¹Zvino Isaka wakanyengeterera muka­dzi wake kuna Jehovha, nekuti wakange ari mhanje; Jehovha akanye­ngetereka naye, Rabheka mukadzi wake ndokuva nemimba.

²¹Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

²²Zvino vana vakapipiridzana mukati make, iye ndokuti: Kana zvaka­daro, sei ndakadai? Ndokunobvunza Jehovha.

²²The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it be so, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh.

²³Jehovha ndokuti kwaari: Ndudzi mbiri dziri muchizvaro chako, ndudzi mbiri dzichaparadzana dzichibva muura hwako. Zvino rudzi rwuchasimba pane rwumwe rudzi, uye mukuru achashumira muduku.

²³Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”

²⁴Zvino mazuva ake ekubereka akati azadziswa, tarira, mapatya muchizvaro chake.

²⁴When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

²⁵Wekutanga akabuda ari mutsvuku, wose akaita senguvo ine mvere; vakatumidza zita rake Esau.

²⁵The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

²⁶Zvino pa­shure munin'ina wake wakabuda, uye ruoko rwake rwakabata chitsitsinho chaEsau; ndokutumidza zita rake Jakove. Zvino Isaka waiva nemakore makumi matanhatu pakuberekwa kwavo.

²⁶After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

²⁷Vakomana ndoku­kura; Esau ndokuva mudzimba wakachenjera, murume wesango; uye Jakove murume wakarurama, achigara mumatende.

²⁷The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

²⁸Isaka ndokuda Esau, nekuti waidya nyama yemhuka, asi Rabheka waida Jakove.

²⁸Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

²⁹Zvino Jakove wakange abika rupiza, Esau ndokusvika achibva kusango oziya;

²⁹Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

³⁰Esau ndokuti kuna Jakove: Dondiregawo ndiminye zvitsvuku izvo zvakatsvuka, nekuti ndoziya. Naizvozvo wakatumidzwa zita rinonzi Edhomu.

³⁰Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.

³¹Jakove ndokuti: Nditengesere nhasi udangwe hwako.

³¹Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”

³²Esau ndokuti: Tarira, ndodofa, zvino udangwe uchandibatsirei?

³²Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”

³³Jakove ndokuti: Ndipikire nhasi. Iye ndokupika kwaari, ndokutengesa udangwe hwake kuna Jako­bho.

³³Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.

³⁴Jakove ndokupa Esau chingwa nerupiza; iye ndokudya nekumwa, ndokusimuka ndokuenda; Esau ndokuzvidza udangwe hwake saizvozvi.

³⁴Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
