Genesis 25
1 And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.
Abraham menikah lagi dengan seorang wanita yang bernama Ketura.
2 And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.
Istrinya itu melahirkan anak-anak yang bernama: Zimran, Yoksan, Medan, Midian, Isybak, dan Suah.
3 And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.
Yoksan ayah Syeba dan Dedan, dan keturunan Dedan ialah orang Asyur, orang Letus, dan orang Leum.
4 And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.
Anak-anak Midian ialah: Efa, Efer, Henokh, Abida, dan Eldaa. Mereka semuanya keturunan Ketura.
5 But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.
Walaupun Abraham mewariskan segala harta bendanya kepada Ishak,
6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east.
semasa hidupnya ia memberikan banyak hadiah kepada anak-anak yang diperolehnya dari istri-istrinya yang lain. Kemudian disuruhnya anak-anak itu pindah ke daerah di sebelah timur Kanaan, supaya menjauhi Ishak anaknya.
7 And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.
Abraham meninggal pada usia yang lanjut, yaitu 175 tahun.
8 And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.
9 And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre:
Ia dikuburkan oleh anak-anaknya, yaitu Ishak dan Ismael, di Gua Makhpela yang terletak di ladang sebelah timur Mamre. Dahulu ladang itu milik Efron anak Zohar, orang Het,
10 [even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.
tetapi sudah dibeli oleh Abraham dari orang Het itu. Sara, istri Abraham, juga dikuburkan di sana.
11 And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac dwelt by the well of the vision.
Setelah Abraham meninggal, Allah memberkati Ishak, anak Abraham. Pada waktu itu Ishak tinggal di dekat sumur yang disebut "Dia Yang Memperhatikan Aku".
12 And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the hand-maid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.
Ismael adalah anak Abraham dan Hagar, wanita Mesir, hamba Sara itu.
13 And these [are] the names of the sons of Ismael, according to the names of their generations. The firstborn of Ismael, Nabaioth, and Kedar, and Nabdeel, and Massam,
Ismael mempunyai dua belas anak yang disebutkan di sini menurut urutan lahirnya: Nebayot, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, Misyma, Duma, Masa, Hadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafis dan Kedma. Anak-anak itu menjadi bapak leluhur dua belas suku bangsa, dan desa dan perkemahan mereka disebut menurut nama-nama mereka.
14 and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,
15 and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.
16 These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.
17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.
Ismael berumur 137 tahun ketika ia meninggal.
18 And he dwelt from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.
Keturunannya tinggal di daerah antara Hawila dan Syur di sebelah timur Mesir ke arah Asyur. Mereka hidup terpisah dari keturunan Abraham yang lain.
19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.
Inilah riwayat Ishak, anak Abraham.
20 Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.
Ishak berumur empat puluh tahun ketika ia menikah dengan Ribka, adik Laban, anak Betuel, seorang Aram dari Mesopotamia.
21 And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.
Karena Ribka tidak mendapat anak, Ishak berdoa kepada TUHAN untuk istrinya. Dan TUHAN mengabulkan doa Ishak, sehingga Ribka mengandung.
22 And the babes leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
Ia mengandung anak kembar, dan sebelum anak-anak itu lahir, mereka bergelut di dalam rahimnya. Kata Ribka, "Mengapa hal ini harus terjadi pada diriku?" Lalu ia memohon petunjuk kepada TUHAN.
23 And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
TUHAN berkata kepadanya, "Dua bangsa ada di dalam rahimmu; kau akan melahirkan dua bangsa yang berseteru; adiknya lebih kuat dari kakaknya yang sulung melayani yang bungsu."
24 And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.
Tibalah saatnya bagi Ribka untuk bersalin, dan ia melahirkan dua anak laki-laki kembar.
25 And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.
Yang sulung warnanya kemerah-merahan, dan kulitnya seperti jubah yang berbulu. Sebab itu ia dinamakan Esau.
26 And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them.
Waktu anak yang kedua dilahirkan, tangannya memegang tumit Esau. Sebab itu ia dinamakan Yakub. Ishak berumur enam puluh tahun pada waktu mereka lahir.
27 And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.
Kedua anak itu bertambah besar. Esau menjadi pemburu yang cakap dan suka tinggal di padang, tetapi Yakub bersifat tenang dan suka tinggal di rumah.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.
Ishak lebih sayang kepada Esau, sebab Ishak suka makan daging buruan. Tetapi Ribka lebih sayang kepada Yakub.
29 And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.
Pada suatu hari ketika Yakub sedang memasak sayur kacang merah, datanglah Esau dari perburuannya. Ia lapar.
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.
Katanya kepada Yakub, "Saya lapar sekali. Minta sedikit kacang merah itu." (Itulah sebabnya ia disebut Edom.)
31 And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright.
Jawab Yakub, "Baik, asal kauberikan lebih dahulu hakmu sebagai anak sulung."
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me?
Kata Esau, "Peduli apa hak itu bagi saya. Saya lapar setengah mati!"
33 And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.
Kata Yakub pula, "Bersumpahlah dulu bahwa kauberikan hakmu kepada saya." Esau bersumpah dan memberi haknya kepada Yakub.
34 And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.
Setelah itu Yakub memberi kepadanya roti dan sebagian dari sayur kacang merah itu. Esau makan dan minum lalu pergi. Demikianlah Esau meremehkan haknya sebagai anak sulung.
