25  Na ka tangohia e Aperahama tetahi wahine ano, ko Ketura tona ingoa.

A whanau ake a raua tama ko Timirana, ko Iokohana, ko Merana, ko Miriana, ko Ihipaka, ratou ko Huaha.

A whanau ake a Iokohana ko Hepa, ko Rerana. A ko nga tama a Rerana ko Ahurimi, ko Retuhimi, ko Reumime.

A ko nga tama a Miriana ko Epa, ko Epere, ko Hanoka, ko Apira, ko Ereraaha. He tama katoa enei na Ketura.

A i hoatu e Aperahama ana mea katoa ki a Ihaka.

Ki nga tama ia a nga wahine iti a Aperahama i hoatu e ia etahi taonga, a tonoa atu ana e ia i a ia ano e ora ana kia matara atu i a Ihaka, i tana tama, whaka te rawhiti, ki te whenua i te rawhiti.

Ko nga ra enei o nga tau o te oranga o Aperahama i ora ai ia, kotahi rau e whitu tekau ma rima nga tau.

Na ka hemo a Aperahama, a ka mate, he pai hoki tona koroheketanga, he kaumatua, kua ata tutuki ona tau; a kohia ana ia ki tona iwi.

A ka tanumia ia e ana tama e Ihaka raua ko Ihimaera ki te ana o Makapera, ki te wahi o Eperona tama a Tohara Hiti, i te ritenga o Mamere;

10 Ki te wahi i hokona ra e Aperahama i nga tama a Hete: i tanumia ki reira a Aperahama, raua ko Hara, ko tana wahine.

11 A muri iho i te matenga o Aperahama ka manaakitia e te Atua a Ihaka, tana tama; a ka noho a Ihaka ki te taha o Peererahairoi.

12 Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Ihimaera tama a Aperahama, i whanau nei ma Aperahama i a Hakara, i te Ihipiana, pononga wahine a Hara:

13 A ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Ihimaera, o ratou ingoa i o ratou whakatupuranga: ta Ihimaera matamua ko Nepaioto; na, ko Kerara, ko Arapeere, ko Mipihama,

14 Ko Mihima, ko Ruma, ko Maha,

15 Ko Hatara, ko Tema, ko Ieturu, ko Napihi, ko Kerema:

16 Ko nga tama enei a Ihimaera, ko o ratou ingoa hoki enei i o ratou pa, i o ratou puni; kotahi tekau ma rua nga rangatira o o ratou iwi.

17 A ko nga tau enei o te oranga o Ihimaera, kotahi rau e toru tekau ma whitu nga tau: na ka hemo ia, a ka mate; ka kohia ki tona iwi.

18 A ko o ratou nohoanga i Hawira a tae noa ki Huru, i te ritenga o Ihipa ina haere koe ki Ahiria: a i noho ia ki te aroaro o ona teina katoa.

19 Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Ihaka tama a Aperahama: na Aperahama ko Ihaka:

20 Na e wha tekau nga tau o Ihaka i tana tangohanga i a Ripeka, tamahine a Petuere Hiriani o Paranaarama, tuahine o Rapana Hiriani, hei wahine mana.

21 Na ka inoi a Ihaka ki a Ihowa mo tana wahine, no te mea he pakoko ia: a ka whakaae a Ihowa ki a ia, a ka hapu a Ripeka, tana wahine.

22 A ka takatakahi nga tamariki i a raua i roto i a ia; a ka mea ia, Ki te mea ko tenei, he aha ahau i penei ai? Na haere ana ia ki a Ihowa ki te ui.

23 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, e rua nga iwi kei roto i tou kopu, a e rua nga iwi e wehea mai i roto i ou whekau; a ka kaha tetahi iwi i tetahi iwi; ka waiho hoki te tuakana hei papa mo te teina.

24 A ka rite ona ra e whanau ai ia, na, he mahanga kei roto i tona kopu.

25 Na ka puta mai te tuatahi, he whero, rite katoa ia ki te kakahu huruhuru; a huaina ana e ratou tona ingoa ko Ehau.

26 A muri iho ka puta mai tona teina, me te pupuri ano tona ringa i te rekereke o Ehau; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Hakopa; a e ono tekau nga tau o Ihaka i to raua whanautanga.

27 Na ka tupu nga tamariki ra: ko Ehau he tangata mohio ki te hopu kirehe mohoao, he tangata noho koraha; ko Hakopa ia he tangata ata noho, he tangata noho teneti.

28 Na i aroha a Ihaka ki a Ehau, he kai nona i ana i hopu ai: ko Ripeka i aroha ki a Hakopa.

29 Na ka kohuatia he kai e Hakopa, a ka haere mai a Ehau i te koraha, a e hemo ana ia:

30 A ka mea a Ehau ki a Hakopa, E, homai he kai maku i taua mea whero e whero na, ne? e hemo ana hoki ahau: koia i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Eroma.

31 Na ko te meatanga mai a Hakopa, Hokona mai ki ahau i tenei ra tou matamuatanga.

32 Na ka mea a Ehau, Na, kua tata ahau te mate: a he aha te hua o te matamuatanga ki ahau?

33 A ka mea a Hakopa, Oati mai ki ahau aianei; na ka oati ia ki a ia: a ka hokona atu e ia tona matamuatanga ki a Hakopa.

34 Katahi ka hoatu e Hakopa he taro ki a Ehau me nga pi i kohuatia ra: na ka kai ia, ka inu, ka whakatika hoki, haere ana: na whakahaweatia ana e Ehau tona matamuatanga.

The Death of Abraham(A)

25 Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore him Zimran,(B) Jokshan, Medan, Midian,(C) Ishbak and Shuah.(D) Jokshan was the father of Sheba(E) and Dedan;(F) the descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites. The sons of Midian were Ephah,(G) Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.

Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.(H) But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines(I) and sent them away from his son Isaac(J) to the land of the east.(K)

Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years.(L) Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age,(M) an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.(N) His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him(O) in the cave of Machpelah(P) near Mamre,(Q) in the field of Ephron(R) son of Zohar the Hittite,(S) 10 the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites.[a](T) There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. 11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac,(U) who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi.(V)

Ishmael’s Sons(W)

12 This is the account(X) of the family line of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Sarah’s slave, Hagar(Y) the Egyptian, bore to Abraham.(Z)

13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth(AA) the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar,(AB) Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah,(AC) Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema,(AD) Jetur,(AE) Naphish and Kedemah. 16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these are the names of the twelve tribal rulers(AF) according to their settlements and camps.(AG) 17 Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and he was gathered to his people.(AH) 18 His descendants(AI) settled in the area from Havilah to Shur,(AJ) near the eastern border of Egypt, as you go toward Ashur. And they lived in hostility toward[b] all the tribes related to them.(AK)

Jacob and Esau

19 This is the account(AL) of the family line of Abraham’s son Isaac.

Abraham became the father of Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old(AM) when he married Rebekah(AN) daughter of Bethuel(AO) the Aramean from Paddan Aram[c](AP) and sister of Laban(AQ) the Aramean.(AR)

21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless.(AS) The Lord answered his prayer,(AT) and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. 22 The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.(AU)

23 The Lord said to her,

“Two nations(AV) are in your womb,
    and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
    and the older will serve the younger.(AW)

24 When the time came for her to give birth,(AX) there were twin boys in her womb.(AY) 25 The first to come out was red,(AZ) and his whole body was like a hairy garment;(BA) so they named him Esau.[d](BB) 26 After this, his brother came out,(BC) with his hand grasping Esau’s heel;(BD) so he was named Jacob.[e](BE) Isaac was sixty years old(BF) when Rebekah gave birth to them.

27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter,(BG) a man of the open country,(BH) while Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents. 28 Isaac, who had a taste for wild game,(BI) loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.(BJ)

29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew,(BK) Esau came in from the open country,(BL) famished. 30 He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew!(BM) I’m famished!” (That is why he was also called Edom.[f])(BN)

31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.(BO)

32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”

33 But Jacob said, “Swear(BP) to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright(BQ) to Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew.(BR) He ate and drank, and then got up and left.

So Esau despised his birthright.
