1 Aburahimu ahaathelha opani akina, nchina naya eehaniya Naketura. 2 Yayo ahaayarelha Aburahimu achishaana, Zimrani, Yokshani, Medani, Midiyani, Ishbaki ni Shuwa. 3 Yokshani ahaayaracha Sheba ni Dedani. Achishaana a Dedani aari attu o Uashuru, o Uletushi ni o Uleumi. 4 Achishaana a Midiyani aari, Efa, Eferi, Henoki, Abida ni Eldaa. Yayo onkhaye ayo aari uchuulhu wa Aburahimu ni ahanu aya, Naketura. 5 Aburahimu ahaahiyera Naisaka nhakhu waya wonkhaye. 6 Ni ikatema vaari aya bado akumi, ahaavahacha izawadi achishaana aayanre aya ni anamitheko aya ashithiyana. Nkaathamihacha ni waarweha utayi, ilhapo cho unosha nchuwa wiira ahaatamane ni mwaamwanaya, Isaka.

Wowo phi uwo waavithiye aya Aburahimu ni ahanu aya, Asara. 11 Baada yo urimelha wa Aburahimu, Nlhuku ahaavaha ibarakha Naisaka anaaya Aburahimu. Ni ayo nkayaakhalha vakhiviru ni ilhushi yo Beer Lahai Roi, maana aya "Ilhushi ya uyo nkumi noona uyo."

12 Achishaana a Naishmaeli anaaya Aburahimu aayanre aya wa Hajiri, namitheko nthiyana Mmisri, aari 13 Nebayothi, o nttara. Akina aari Kedari, Adbeeli, Mibsamu, 14 Mishma, Duma, Masa, 15 Hadadi, Tema, Yeturi, Nafishi ni Kadema.

16 Yayo phi achishaana ashilhopwana a Naishmaeli, aari phi ahoolhelhi o mahimo khumi ni melhi, iwani ni ittoko chaya chaachuwania wo machina aya. 17 Naishmaeli yaakhanlhe iyaakha imia imoka ni makhumi mararu ni saba nkaaarimelha, nkayaalhutaana ni manyaapwiiyaya yaaholhenlhe. 18 Ayari a Naishmaeli yaakhalha ilhapo aari iriyari yo ilhapo cho Uhavira ni Ushuri unosha nchuwa ilhapo yo Umisri, iphiro yo ukelha Uashuru.

19 Alha phi iyari ya Naisaka anaaya Aburahimu. 20 Naisaka aari o iyaakha makhumi ncheshe vaathenlhe aya Narabeka, abiti Bethueli, Muaramu o ilhapo yo Padan aramu. Narabeka ayo yaari mwanrokoraya Nalaabani. 21 Narabeka yaari o uhiyara, paahi etu Naisaka ahaalhepelha Apwiiya Nlhuku. Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayaapochera ulhepelha waya, Narabeka nkayaarupalha irukulhu. 22 Yeyo irukulhu iyo yaari yo mavata. Ashaana ayo nkayaana ashineneru anari munthunkwani mwa Narabeka, ni ayo nkayeera, "Yakhalhaka chittu chinokhalha thoko chi chineera aya chi, nlhatuni etu no uthepa ukhalha nkumi?" Paahi nkayaarwa uwaakohani Apwiiya Nlhuku.

23 Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayeera,

"Mahimo melhi ari munthunkwani mwinyu.

Ni mahimo melhi anohalha inyu waayara ayo khanowa yeewanana.

Nihimo nimoka ninowa ukhalha no machiri upwaha nihimo nikina nno,

mulhupalhe uyo nowa urumiya mitheko ni mwankani uyo."

24 Mahuku aya o wiithaphulha vaaphilhe aya, Narabeka ahaayara ashaana mavata. 25 O upacha uyo aari o ukhwilha, o ikharari iruttu yonkhaye, paahi nkayaamwiihana nchina nawe Esau. 26 O nayelhi uyo aayarelhe nammanre Esau uyo ikotokotto, paahi nkayaamwiihana nchina nawe Yakhobo, maana aya "o woothacha." Ikatema vaayariacha aya ashaana ayo, Naisaka yaari ntu o iyaakha makhumi sita.

27 Ashaana ayo ahonnuwacha, Esau nkaakhalha ntu o ulhupatta chinene, ntu o ukhalha mwiithuphini. Yakhobo aari ntu o umaalha, ntu o ukhalha vawani. 28 Paahi Naisaka ahonttuna chinene Esau wo nlhatu wo ukhuura inama cheeva awe, nansho Narabeka anttuna chinene Yakhobo.

29 Nihuku nimoka, Yakhobo vaari awe aapiaka idengu, Esau ahohokolhia ulhupattani nawolhiye ithalha chinene. 30 Paahi etu nkaamwiirelha Yakhobo, "Kinookhwa ithalha, chonte ukimeelhe yolhia yo ukhwilha iyo kilhie!" Tho, phi nlhatu no wiihaniya Edomu, maana aya yo "ukhwilha."

31 Yakhobo nkaakhulha, "Ukithumihereke thoko uyulhupalhe wao, wo ukhalha mwaana o nttara uwo."

32 Esau nkaakhulha, "Aye! Nansho mii kiri kharibu ukhwa, uyulhupalhe wo ukhalha mwaana o nttara urini ifaida yaani uwannyaka?"

33 Yakhobo nkeera, "Ukilhupelheke etu." Paahi Esau nkaalhupelha ni unthumihera Yakhobo ibarakha awe yo ukhalha mwaana o nttara. 34 Phi vavawo Yakhobo vammanhe awe Esau nkatte ni idengu. Esau nkaalhia nka, nkaawureria maashi, nkaathama. Phi chiichammo etu, Esau vaapoterinhe awe uyulhupalhe awe yo ukhalha mwaana o nttara.
