Bonke ke ngoonyana bakaKetura. 5uAbraham wamnika uIsake zonke izinto awayenazo. 6Ke oonyana bezithende awayenazo uAbraham, uAbraham wabanika izipho, wabathabatha kuIsake unyana wakhe, ngoxa wayesadla ubomi, wabathabatha waya nabo empumalanga ezweni lasempumalanga. 7Yiyo le imihla yeminyaka yokudla ubomi kuka-Abraham, yaba yiminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mathandathu anesihlanu. 8Wafa ke uAbraham, wafa eyingwevu enkulu, aluphele, ephele ebudaleni; wahlanganiselwa kwabakowabo. 9Oonyana bakhe uIsake noIshmayeli bamngcwaba emqolombeni waseMakapela, entsimini kaEfron unyana kaTsohare, umHeti, ephambi kowakwaMamre; 10Umhlaba awawuthengayo uAbraham koonyana bakaHeti, wangcwatyelwa khona uAbraham noSara umkakhe. 11Emva kokufa kuka-Abraham, uThixo wamsikelela uIsake unyana wakhe; wahlala uIsake ngasequleni likaLaha-iroyi. 12Yiyo le ke inzala kaIshmayeli, unyana ka-Abraham, awathi uHagare umYiputazana, umkhonzi kaSara, wamzalela uAbraham. 13Ngawo la amagama oonyana bakaIshmayeli, ngokwamagama abo ngokwemizalwane yabo: owamazibulo kaIshmayeli nguNebhayoti; iKedare, iAdebheli, neMibhesam, 14uMishma, uDuma, noMasa; 15neHadare, noTema, noYeture, noNafishe, noKedema; 16Ngabo abo oonyana bakaIshmayeli, ngawo la amagama abo ngokwemizi yabo neenqaba zabo; izikhulu ezilishumi elinazibini ngokwezizwe zazo. 17Yiyo le iminyaka yokudla ubomi kukaIshmayeli, ikhulu elinamanci mathathu anesixhenxe; wahlanganiselwa kwabakowabo. 18Bema bethabathela eHavila besa eShure, ekhangelene neYiputa, ekuyeni eAsiriya; wafa phambi kwabazalwana bakhe bonke. 19Yiyo le ke inzala kaIsake, unyana ka-Abraham: uAbraham nguyise kaIsake; 20uIsake ubeminyaka imashumi mane ezelwe, ukumzeka kwakhe uRebheka, intombi kaBhetuweli, umAram wasePadan-ram, udade boLabhan umAram, ukuba abe ngumkakhe. 21uIsake wamthandazela uYehova umkakhe, ngokuba ebengazali; wamitha uRebheka umkakhe. 22Babambana naye abantwana; Wathi, Ukuba kunjalo, kutheni ndinje? Waya kubuza kuYehova. 23Wathi uYehova kuye, Zimbini iintlanga esizalweni sakho; olunye uhlanga luya komelela kunolunye uhlanga; Omkhulu uya kukhonza komnci. 24Kwathi ke kwakuzaliseka umhla wokuzalwa kwakhe, kwabakho amawele esizalweni sakhe. 25Laphuma elokuqala lingqombela, lonke njengengubo yoboya; Bamthiya igama elinguEsawu. 26Kamva waphuma umninawa wakhe, isandla sakhe sabamba isithende sikaEsawu; Wathi ke igama elinguYakobi; uIsake ebeminyaka imashumi mathandathu ezelwe, ukubazala kwabo. 27Akhula amakhwenkwe, uEsawu waba lizingela, indoda yelizwe; yaye uYakobi wayeyindoda engenabulumko ehlala ezintenteni. 28uIsake wathanda uEsawu, ngokuba ebesidla inyama yezingela; ke uRebheka wayethanda uYakobi. 29Wayibhaka ke uYakobi intlama, wafika uEsawu evela ezindle, ediniwe. 30Wathi uEsawu kuYakobi, Makhe ndive loo nto ibomvu, ndiyive; Yiyo loo nto kuthiwa nguEdom. 31Wathi uYakobi, Ndithengisele iqashiso lakho namhla. 32Wathi uEsawu, Yabona, andiyi kufa; bundenzani na obo buzibulo? 33Wathi uYakobi, Niya kundibuka namhla; wamfungela, wathengisa ngobuzibulo bakhe kuYakobi. 34uYakobi wamnika uEsawu isonka nepani yeentlumayo; watya, wasela, wavuka, wahamba. Wabudela ke uEsawu ubuzibulo bakhe.
