Genesis 25
1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
Abraham menikah lagi dengan seorang wanita yang bernama Ketura.
2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Istrinya itu melahirkan anak-anak yang bernama: Zimran, Yoksan, Medan, Midian, Isybak, dan Suah.
3 And Jokshan brings forth Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Yoksan ayah Syeba dan Dedan, dan keturunan Dedan ialah orang Asyur, orang Letus, dan orang Leum.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Anak-anak Midian ialah: Efa, Efer, Henokh, Abida, dan Eldaa. Mereka semuanya keturunan Ketura.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
Walaupun Abraham mewariskan segala harta bendanya kepada Ishak,
6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
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 are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
Abraham meninggal pada usia yang lanjut, yaitu 175 tahun.
8 Then Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
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 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah 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 the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
Setelah Abraham meninggal, Allah memberkati Ishak, anak Abraham. Pada waktu itu Ishak tinggal di dekat sumur yang disebut "Dia Yang Memperhatikan Aku".
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
Ismael adalah anak Abraham dan Hagar, wanita Mesir, hamba Sara itu.
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
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 Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the spirit and died; and was gathered unto his people.
Ismael berumur 137 tahun ketika ia meninggal.
18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria: and he died 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, Abraham's son: Abraham brings forth Isaac:
Inilah riwayat Ishak, anak Abraham.
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
Ishak berumur empat puluh tahun ketika ia menikah dengan Ribka, adik Laban, anak Betuel, seorang Aram dari Mesopotamia.
21 And Isaac implored the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was implored of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Karena Ribka tidak mendapat anak, Ishak berdoa kepada TUHAN untuk istrinya. Dan TUHAN mengabulkan doa Ishak, sehingga Ribka mengandung.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? 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 unto her, Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; 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 when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were 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, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Yang sulung warnanya kemerah-merahan, dan kulitnya seperti jubah yang berbulu. Sebab itu ia dinamakan Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare 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 boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
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 he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Ishak lebih sayang kepada Esau, sebab Ishak suka makan daging buruan. Tetapi Ribka lebih sayang kepada Yakub.
29 And Jacob cook pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
Pada suatu hari ketika Yakub sedang memasak sayur kacang merah, datanglah Esau dari perburuannya. Ia lapar.
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray you, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
Katanya kepada Yakub, "Saya lapar sekali. Minta sedikit kacang merah itu." (Itulah sebabnya ia disebut Edom.)
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day your birthright.
Jawab Yakub, "Baik, asal kauberikan lebih dahulu hakmu sebagai anak sulung."
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
Kata Esau, "Peduli apa hak itu bagi saya. Saya lapar setengah mati!"
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
Kata Yakub pula, "Bersumpahlah dulu bahwa kauberikan hakmu kepada saya." Esau bersumpah dan memberi haknya kepada Yakub.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised 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.
