Genesis 25
1 And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.
亞巴郎又續娶了一個妻子，名叫刻突辣。
2 And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.
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。
3 And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.
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。
4 And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.
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。
5 But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.
亞巴郎將自己所有的財產都給了依撒格；
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.
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。
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.
亞巴郎一生的歲月共是一百七十五歲。
8 And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.
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。
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:
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。
10 [even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.
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。
11 And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived by the well of the vision.
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。
12 And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the handmaid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.
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。
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,
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、
14 and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,
米市瑪、杜瑪、瑪薩、
15 and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.
哈達得、特瑪、耶突爾、納菲士和刻德瑪：
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.
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。
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.
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。
18 And he lived from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he lived in the presence of all his brethren.
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。
19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.
以下是亞巴郎的兒子依撒格的歷史：亞巴郎生依撒格。
20 Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took as wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.
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。
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.
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，
22 And the babes leapt 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.
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。
23 And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
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。」
24 And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.
到了生產的時候，她腹內果然是一對雙生；
25 And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.
首先產出的發紅，渾身是毛，如披毛裘，給他起名厄撒烏。
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.
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。
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.
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。
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.
依撒格愛厄撒烏，因為他愛吃野味；黎貝加卻愛雅各伯。
29 And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.
有一天，雅各伯正煮好豆羹，厄撒烏由田間回來，饑餓疲乏，
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.
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。」
31 And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day your birthright.
雅各伯回答說：「你要將你長子的名分先賣給我。」
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me?
厄撒烏說：「我快要死了，這長子的名分為我還有什麼益處﹖」
33 And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.
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。
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.
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。
