創世記 25
1 亞巴郎又續娶了一個妻子，名叫刻突辣。
Forsothe Abraham weddide another wijf, Ceture bi name,
2 刻突辣給他生了齊默郎、約刻商、默丹、米德楊、依市巴克和叔哈。
which childide to him Samram, and Jexan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboth, and Sue.
3 約刻商生了舍巴和德丹；德丹的子孫是阿叔陵人、肋突興人和肋烏明人。
Also Jexan gendride Saba and Dadan. Forsothe the sones of Dadan weren Asurym, and Lathusym, and Laomym.
4 米德楊的子孫是厄法、厄斐爾、哈諾客、阿彼達和厄耳達阿：以上都是刻突辣的子孫。
And sotheli of Madian was borun Efa, and Ofer, and Enoth, and Abida, and Heldaa; alle these weren the sones of Cethure.
5 亞巴郎將自己所有的財產都給了依撒格；
And Abraham yaf alle thingis whiche he hadde in possessioun to Isaac;
6 至於妾所生的兒子，亞巴郎給了他們一些禮物，在自己活著時，就叫他們離開自己的兒子依撒格，打發他們向東去，住在東方。
sotheli he yaf yiftis to the sones of concubyns; and Abraham, while he lyuede yit, departide hem fro Ysaac, his sone, to the eest coost.
7 亞巴郎一生的歲月共是一百七十五歲。
Forsothe the daies of lijf of Abraham weren an hundrid and `fyue and seuenti yeer;
8 亞巴郎壽高年老，已享天年，遂斷氣而死，歸到他親族那裏去了。
and he failide, and diede in good eelde, and of greet age, and ful of daies, and he was gaderid to his puple.
9 他的兒子依撒格和依市瑪耳，將他葬在面對瑪默勒，赫特人祚哈爾之子厄斐龍的田間瑪革培拉山洞內。
And Ysaac and Ismael, his sones, birieden him in the double denne, which is set in the feeld of Efron, sone of Seor Ethei,
10 這塊田地是亞巴郎由赫特人那裏買來的；亞巴郎和妻子撒辣都葬在那裏。
euene ayens Mambre, which denne he bouyte of the sones of Heth; and he was biried there, and Sare his wijf.
11 亞巴郎死後，天主祝福了他的兒子依撒格。依撒格定居在拉海洛依井附近。
And aftir the deeth of Abraham God blesside Isaac his sone, which dwellide bisidis the pit bi name of hym that lyueth and seeth.
12 以下是撒辣的婢女，埃及人哈加爾給亞巴郎生的依市瑪耳的後裔。
These ben the generaciouns of Ismael, sone of Abraham, whom Agar Egipcian, seruauntesse of Sare, childide to Abraham;
13 依市瑪耳的子孫名單，依照出生的次第記載如下：依市瑪耳的長子是乃巴約特，其次是刻達爾、阿德貝耳、米貝散、
and these ben the names of the sones of Ismael, in her names and generaciouns. The firste gendride of Ismael was Nabaioth, aftirward Cedar, and Abdeel, and Mabsan,
14 米市瑪、杜瑪、瑪薩、
and Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
15 哈達得、特瑪、耶突爾、納菲士和刻德瑪：
and Adad, and Thema, and Ithur, and Nafir, and Cedma.
16 以上都是依市瑪耳的兒子，這些人的名字也是他們的村莊和營地的名字，又是十二家族的族長。
These weren the sones of Ismael, and these weren names by castels and townes of hem, twelue princes of her lynagis.
17 依市瑪耳一生的歲月是一百三十七歲；然後斷氣而死，歸到他親族那裏去了。
And the yeeris of lijf of Ismael weren maad an hundrid and seuene and thretti, and he failide, and diede, and was put to his puple.
18 他的子孫住在從哈威拉直到埃及東面的叔爾，往亞述道上，對著自己的眾兄弟支搭帳幕。
Forsothe he enhabitide fro Euila til to Sur, that biholdith Egipt, as me entrith in to Assiriens; he diede bifore alle his britheren.
19 以下是亞巴郎的兒子依撒格的歷史：亞巴郎生依撒格。
Also these ben the generaciouns of Ysaac sone of Abraham. Abraham gendride Isaac,
20 依撒格四十歲時娶了帊丹阿蘭地阿蘭人貝突耳的女兒，阿蘭人拉班的妹妹黎貝加為妻。
and whanne Isaac was of fourti yeer, he weddide a wijf, Rebecca, douyter of Batuel, of Sirie of Mesopotanye, the sistir of Laban.
21 依撒格因為自己的妻子不生育，便為她懇求上主；上主俯允了他的祈求，他的妻子黎貝加遂懷了孕，
And Isaac bisouyte the Lord for his wijf, for sche was bareyn; and the Lord herde him, and yaf conseiuyng to Rebecca.
22 雙胎在她腹內互相衝突，於是她說：「若是這樣，我可怎麼辦﹖」遂去求問上主。
But the litle children weren hurtlid togidre in hir wombe; and sche seide, If it was so to comynge to me, what nede was it to conseyue? And sche yede and axide counsel of the Lord,
23 上主答覆她說：「你一胎懷了兩個國家，你腹中所生的要分為兩個民族：一個民族強於另一民族，年長的要服事年幼的。」
which answerde, and seide, Twei folkis ben in thi wombe, and twei puplis schulen be departid fro thi wombe, and a puple schal ouercome a puple, and the more schal serue the lesse.
24 到了生產的時候，她腹內果然是一對雙生；
Thanne the tyme of childberyng cam, and lo! twei children weren foundun in hir wombe.
25 首先產出的發紅，渾身是毛，如披毛裘，給他起名厄撒烏。
He that yede out first was reed, and al rouy in the manere of a skyn; and his name was clepid Esau.
26 他的弟弟隨後出生，一手握著厄撒烏的腳跟，為此給他起名叫雅各伯。他們誕生時，依撒格已是六十歲的人。
Anoon the tothir yede out, and helde with the hond the heele of the brother; and therfore he clepide him Jacob. Isaac was sixti yeer eeld, whanne the litle children weren borun.
27 兩個孩童漸漸長大，厄撒烏成了個好打獵的人，喜居戶外；雅各伯卻為人恬靜，深居幕內。
And whanne thei weren woxun, Esau was maad a man kunnynge of huntyng, and a man erthe tilier; forsothe Jacob was a symple man, and dwellide in tabernaclis.
28 依撒格愛厄撒烏，因為他愛吃野味；黎貝加卻愛雅各伯。
Isaac louyde Esau, for he eet of the huntyng of Esau; and Rebecca louyde Jacob.
29 有一天，雅各伯正煮好豆羹，厄撒烏由田間回來，饑餓疲乏，
Sotheli Jacob sethide potage; and whanne Esau cam weri fro the feld,
30 便對雅各伯說：「請將這紅紅的東西給我點吃，因為我實在又餓又乏。」－－因此他的名字又叫「厄東。」
he seide to Jacob, Yyue thou to me of this reed sething, for Y am ful weri; for which cause his name was clepid Edom.
31 雅各伯回答說：「你要將你長子的名分先賣給我。」
And Jacob seide to him, Sille to me the riyt of the first gendrid childe.
32 厄撒烏說：「我快要死了，這長子的名分為我還有什麼益處﹖」
He answerde, Lo! Y die, what schulen the firste gendrid thingis profite to me?
33 雅各伯接著說：「你得立刻對我起誓。」厄撒烏遂對他起了誓，將自己長子的名分賣給了雅各伯。
Jacob seide, therfor swere thou to me. Therfor Esau swoor, and selde the firste gendrid thingis.
34 雅各伯遂將餅和扁豆羹給了厄撒烏；他吃了喝了，起身走了。－－厄撒烏竟如此輕視了長子的名分。
And so whanne he hadde take breed and potage, Esau eet and drank, and yede forth, and chargide litil that he hadde seld the riyt of the firste gendrid child.
