¹Now this is the history of the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).

¹Ndiwoka marudzi aEsau unova Edhomu:

²Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon, the Hittite; and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite;

²Esau wakatora vakadzi vake kuvakunda veKanani, Adha, mukunda waEroni muHeti, naHoribhama mukunda waAna, mukunda waZibhioni muHivhi,

³and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth.

³naBhasimati mukunda waIshimaeri hanzvadzi yaNebhayoti.

⁴Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz. Basemath bore Reuel.

⁴Adha ndokubereka Esau Erifazi; Bhasimati ndokubereka Rueri;

⁵Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

⁵Ohori­bhama ndokubereka Jeushi naJarami naKora; ava vanakomana vaEsau, vaakaberekerwa panyika yeKanani.

⁶Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, with his livestock, all his animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went into a land away from his brother Jacob.

⁶Zvino Esau wakatora vakadzi vake nevanakomana vake nevakunda vake, nemweya yose yeimba yake, nemombe dzake nezvipfuwo zvake zvose, nenhumbi dzake dzose dzaakange awana munyika yeKanani, ndokuenda kune imwe nyika achibva pachiso chaJakove munin'ina wake.

⁷For their substance was too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn’t bear them because of their livestock.

⁷Nekuti zvipfuwo zvavo zvakange zvakawanda zvokuti vaiva vasingagoni kugara pamwe, uye nyika yeutorwa hwavo yakange isingagoni kuvatakura nekuda kwezvipfuwo zvavo.
