Ukufa kuka-Abrahama
1U-Abrahama wathatha omunye umfazi, ogama lakhe lalinguKetura.
2Wamzalela uShimrani, noJokishani, noMedani, noMidiyani, no-Ishibaki, noShuwagi.
3UJokishani wazala uSheba noDedani; Amadodana kaDedani ayengama-Asiriya, amaLetusi, namaLewumi.
4Amadodana kaMidiyani ngu no-Efa, no-Eferi, noHanoki, no-Abida, no-Elidawa. Bonke babengabantwana bakaKetura.
5U-Abrahama wamnika u-Isaka konke anakho.
6Kepha amadodana ezancinza u-Abrahama ayenazo, u-Abrahama wanika izipho, wawamukisa ku-Isaka indodana yakhe esekhona, aye ngasempumalanga, ezweni lasempumalanga.
7Lezi ziyizinsuku zeminyaka yokuhamba kuka-Abrahama azihambayo, iminyaka eyikhulu namashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu.
8U-Abrahama wayesephuma umphefumlo, wafa esemdala, esemdala, esanelisiwe yizinsuku; wabuthelwa kubantu bakhe.
9Amadodana akhe o-Isaka no-Ishmayeli bammbela emhumeni waseMakaphela ensimini ka-Efroni indodana kaSohari umHeti ephambi kweMamre;
10Isiqephu sezwe u-Abrahama asithenga emadodaneni kaHeti: U-Abrahama noSara umkakhe bangcwatshwe khona.
11Kwathi emva kokufa kuka-Abrahama uNkulunkulu wambusisa u-Isaka indodana yakhe; u-Isaka wahlala ngasemthonjeni waseLahayiroyi.
12Lezi ziyizizukulwane zika-Ishmayeli indodana ka-Abrahama, uHagari umGibhithe, incekukazi kaSara, amzalela u-Abrahama;
13Lawa angamagama amadodana ka-Ishmayeli ngamagama awo ngemindeni yawo: izibulo lika-Ishmayeli nguNebhayoti; iKedari, i-Adibheli neMibisamu,
14uMishma, uDuma noMasa,
15uHadari, noThema, noJeturi, noNafisi, noKedema;
16Lawa angamadodana ka-Ishmayeli, futhi lawa angamagama awo ngemizi yawo nezinqaba zawo; izikhulu eziyishumi nambili ngokwezizwe zazo.
17Futhi yile minyaka yokuphila kuka-Ishmayeli, iminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa; wabuthelwa kubantu bakhe.
18Bahlala-ke kusukela eHawila kuze kube seSuri eliphambi kweGibhithe, ekuqhubekeni kwenu ukuya eAsiriya; wafa phambi kwabafowabo bonke.
19Lezi ziyizizukulwane zika-Isaka indodana ka-Abrahama: u-Abrahama wazala u-Isaka;
20U-Isaka wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane mhla emthatha uRebeka indodakazi kaBetuweli umAramu wasePhadani Aramu, udadewabo kaLabani umAramu, abe ngumkakhe.
21U-Isaka wamkhulekela umkakhe kuJehova, ngokuba wayeyinyumba; uRebeka umkakhe wakhulelwa.
22Abantwana baxabana phakathi kwakhe; wathi: “Uma kunjalo, nginje ngani na?” Futhi wahamba wayobuza eNkosini.
23UJehova wayesethi kuye: “Esiswini sakho kukhona izizwe ezimbili; esinye isizwe siyakuba namandla kunesinye isizwe; futhi omkhulu kumelwe akhonze omncane.
24Kwathi seziphelele izinsuku zakhe zokubeletha, kwakukhona amawele esizalweni sakhe.
25Waphuma owokuqala ebomvu, enjengengubo yoboya; baqamba igama lakhe ngokuthi u-Esawu.
26Ngasemuva kwaphuma umfowabo, isandla sakhe sabamba isithende sika-Esawu; igama lakhe lalinguJakobe, u-Isaka wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha ekuzalweni kwabo.
27Abafana bakhula, u-Esawu waba yiphisi, indoda yasendle; uJakobe wayeyindoda engenalwazi ehlala ematendeni.
28U-Isaka wathanda u-Esawu, ngokuba wayedla inyamazane yakhe, kepha uRebeka wathanda uJakobe.
29UJakobe wenza inhlanyelo, wafika u-Esawu evela endle, ediniwe.
30U-Esawu wayesethi kuJakobe: “Ake ngizwe lokho okunathwayo okubomvu; Ngalokho igama lakhe lathiwa u-Edomi.
31UJakobe wasesithi: Thengisa kimi namuhla ngobuzibulo bakho.
32Wayesethi u-Esawu: “Bheka, sengizakufa; kanti lobuzibulo buzongisiza ngani?
33Wayesethi uJakobe: “Funga kimi namuhla; wafunga kuye, wathengisa ngobuzibulo bakhe kuJakobe.
34UJakobe wamnika u-Esawu isinkwa nepani likadali; wadla waphuza wasukuma wahamba. Wadelela-ke u-Esawu ubuzibulo bakhe.
