Amadodana kaAbrahama kuKetura; ukufa kukaAbrahama

1UAbrahama wabuya wathatha omunye umfazi obizo lakhe linguKetura.

2Wamzalela uZimrani loJokishani loMedani loMidiyani loIshibaki loShuwa.

3UJokishani wazala uSheba loDedani. Amadodana kaDedani ayengamaAshuri lamaLetushi lamaLewumi.

4Amadodana kaMidiyani ayengoEfa loEferi loHanoki loAbida loElidaha. Bonke labo babengabantwana bakaKetura.

5UAbrahama wamupha uIsaka konke ayelakho.

6Kodwa amadodana abafazi bakhe abanye uAbrahama wawanika izipho; esekhona wawasusa kulsaka indodana yakhe, wawasa ngasempumalanga elizweni lasempumalanga.

7Iminyaka yokuhamba kukaAbrahama yayilikhulu lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.

8UAbrahama waguga, wafa eseluphele kakhulu esehambe iminyaka eminengi, wambelwa kwabakibo.

9UIsaka loIshmayeli amadodana akhe bamngcwaba obhalwini lwaseMakaphela, esiqintini sikaEfroni indodana kaZohari umHethi, esiseduze leMamre,

10isiqinti asithenga uAbrahama ebantwaneni bakaHethi; uAbrahama wangcwatshelwa khona loSara umkakhe.

24Kwathi sesifikile isikhathi sokubeletha kwakhe, kwakukhona amaphahla esiswini sakhe.

25Kwaphuma owokuqala ebomvu, umzimba wakhe wonke unjengengubo yoboya; bamutha ibizo bathi nguEsawu.

26Emva kwakhe kwaphuma umnawakhe, isandla sakhe sibambelele esithendeni sikaEsawu; wabizwa ngokuthi nguJakobe. UIsaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ekuzalweni kwabo.

27Abafana bakhala; uEsawu waba ngumzingeli ohlakaniphileyo, umuntu wasegangeni; uJakobe waba ngumuntu omnene ehlala emathenteni.

28UIsaka wayemthanda uEsawu ngoba wayesidla inyama yenyamazana zakhe; kodwa uRebeka wathanda uJakobe.

29Kwathi uJakobe epheka ukudla, kwafika uEsawu evela egangeni, efile yindlala.

30UEsawu wathi kuJakobe: Ake ungiphe lokho okubomvu ngoba ngifile yindlala. Ngalokhu wabizwa ngokuthi nguEdoma.

31UJakobe wathi: Ngithengisela lamuhla ilungelo lobuzibulo bakho.

32UEsawu wathi: Khangela, sengizakufa; ubuzibulo buzakungisiza njani na?

33UJakobe wathi: Funga kimi lamuhla. Wasefunga kuye, wathengisa kuJakobe ubuzibulo bakhe.Heb 12:16

34UJakobe wanika uEsawu isinkwa lalokho okubomvu; wadla wanatha, wavuka wahamba; ngalokho uEsawu wadelela ubuzibulo bakhe.
