< Jenèz 25 >

1 Abraram te pran yon lòt fanm yo te rele Ketoura.
Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 Ketoura fè sis pitit pou li: Zimran, Joksan, Medan, Madyan, Jisbak ak Swak.
She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Joksan te papa Seba ak Dedan. Men pitit Dedan yo: Se te moun Achou yo, moun Letouch yo ak moun Lemou yo.
Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
4 Men pitit Madyan yo: Se te Efa, Efe, Enòk, Abida ak Elda. Se tout moun sa yo ki te pitit ak pitit pitit Ketoura.
The sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 Abraram kite tout byen l' yo pou Izarak.
And Abraham gave all that he owned to his son Isaac,
6 Men anvan l' mouri, li te bay pitit li te fè ak lòt fanm kay yo kèk kado. Apre sa, li fè yo pati, li voye yo byen lwen Izarak, pitit gason l' lan, li voye yo nan peyi kote solèy leve a.
and to the sons of Abraham's secondary wives, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was still living, eastward, to the east country.
7 Abraram te viv sanswasannkenzan (175 an).
This was the length of Abraham's life: one hundred seventy-five years.
8 Abraram te fin granmoun, li te wè kont jou l', li te pase vye jou l' yo san pwoblèm. Apre sa li mouri, li al jwenn moun li yo ki te mouri deja.
Abraham breathed his last, and died in a good old age, an old man and satisfied, and was gathered to his people.
9 Izarak ak Izmayèl, pitit li yo, antere l' nan twou wòch Makpela a, nan jaden Efwon, pitit Zoka, yon moun Et, anfas Manmre.
Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hethite, which is near Mamre,
10 Se jaden sa a Abraram te achte nan men mesye Et yo. Se la yo te antere Abraram ak Sara, madanm li.
the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
11 Apre Abraram mouri, Bondye te beni Izarak, pitit gason l' lan, ki te rete toupre Pi moun vivan ki wè m' lan.
It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
12 Men pitit pitit Izmayèl, pitit Abraram lan. Se Aga, moun peyi Lejip, sèvant Sara, ki te fè pitit sa a pou Abraram.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
13 Men non pitit Izmayèl yo. N'ap konmanse ak pi gran an pou rive sou pi piti a. Nebajòt te premye pitit Izmayèl. Apre li vini Keda, Adbeyèl, Mibsam,
These 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,
14 Michma, Douma, Masa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Adad, Tema, Jetou, Nafich ak Kedma.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Se yo ki te pitit Izmayèl. Se konsa yo te rele yo ansanm ak tout katye kote yo te rete ak kote yo te moute tant yo. Sa te fè douz chèf, chak ak nasyon pa yo.
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their clans.
17 Izmayèl te gen santrannsetan (137 an) lè l' mouri. Y al antere l' menm kote ak moun li yo ki te mouri deja.
These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 Pitit pitit Izmayèl yo te rete sou teritwa ki konmanse depi Avila rive jouk Chou, anfas peyi Lejip sou bò solèy leve a, anvan ou pran peyi Lasiri. Yo t'ap viv pou kont yo. Yo pa t' mele ak rès fanmi yo.
They lived from Havilah to Shur, which is near Egypt, all the way to Asshur. He settled near all his kinsmen.
19 Men istwa Izarak, pitit Abraram.
These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20 Abraram te papa Izarak. Izarak te gen karantan lè li marye ak Rebeka ki te pitit fi Betwèl, moun lavil Aram, ki te rete nan peyi Mezopotami an. Rebeka te sè Laban, moun lavil Aram.
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.
21 Madanm Izarak pa t' ka fè pitit. Izarak lapriyè Seyè a pou li, Seyè a reponn li. Rebeka, madanm li, vin ansent.
Isaac prayed for his wife, because she was barren. And God was moved by his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 De ti pitit yo t'ap plede goumen nan vant li. Rebeka di: -Si se konsa sa ye, mwen pa konprann anyen? li al lapriyè Seyè a.
The children struggled together within her. She said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" She went to inquire of God.
23 Seyè a reponn li: -Ou gen de nasyon nan vant ou. W'ap fè de pèp: chak ap pran bò pa yo. Yonn p'ap vle wè lòt. Yonn ap pi gwonèg pase lòt. Pi gran an pral sou zòd pi piti a.
And he 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."
24 Lè jou pou Rebeka akouche a rive, li fè de marasa.
When the time came for her to give birth, look, there were twins in her womb.
25 Premye ki te fèt la te tout wouj. Li te kouvri ak pwal sou tout kò l'. Se poutèt sa yo te rele l' Ezaou.
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
26 Lè dezyèm lan te fèt, men li te kenbe Ezaou nan talon pye l': se poutèt sa yo rele l' Jakòb. Izarak te gen swasantan sou tèt li lè yo te fèt.
After 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.
27 Timoun yo grandi. Ezaou te vin yon bon chasè, li te toujou nan bwa. Men Jakòb te yon nonm byen dousman, li te renmen rete lakay.
The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 Izarak te pito Ezaou, paske li te renmen manje vyann jibye, men Rebeka te pito Jakòb.
And Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for wild animals, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Yon jou, Jakòb te fin kwit yon bon bouyon, Ezaou antre sot nan jaden, li te bouke anpil.
Now Jacob was cooking stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 Li di Jakòb konsa: -M'ap mouri grangou. Tanpri, ban m' ti gout nan bouyon pwa wouj ou a. Se poutèt sa yo te bay Ezaou yon lòt ti non. Yo te rele l' Edon.
Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.
31 Men Jakòb di l': -M'ap ba ou ti gout si ou vann mwen dwa ou kòm premye pitit.
Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."
32 Ezaou reponn: -Dakò. Mwen pral mouri. Kisa dwa kòm premye pitit la ap sèvi m'?
Esau said, "Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"
33 Jakòb di li: -Fè m' sèman anvan. Ezaou fè sèman ba li, li vann li dwa l' kòm premye pitit.
Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Lèfini, Jakòb ba li pen ak ti gout nan bouyon pwa a. Ezaou manje, li bwè. Li leve, li pati. Konsa, Ezaou te konsidere dwa li kòm premye pitit pou anyen.
Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
