Genesis 25

1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.

Abraham mengambil lagi seorang istri bernama Ketura.

2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

Dia melahirkan enam anak laki-laki yang diberi nama Zimran, Yoksan, Medan, Midian, Isbak, dan Suah.

3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

Yoksan mempunyai dua anak laki-laki bernama Seba dan Dedan. Keturunan Dedan menjadi bangsa Asyur, bangsa Letus, dan bangsa Leum.

4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah.

Anak laki-laki Midian adalah Efa, Efer, Henok, Abida, dan Eldaa. Itulah keturunan Ketura.

5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

Abraham mewariskan segala kepunyaannya kepada Isak,

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.

sedangkan kepada anak-anaknya yang lain, yaitu anak-anak dari para budak perempuan yang dia jadikan istri, dia memberikan hadiah-hadiah berharga. Sesudah itu, Abraham menyuruh mereka pindah ke daerah sebelah timur untuk meninggalkan Isak.

7 And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.

Abraham menikmati umur panjang selama 175 tahun, lalu mati. Sesudah itu, dia mendapat tempat bersama dengan nenek moyangnya yang sudah meninggal dunia.

8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, 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;

Isak dan Ismael menguburkan ayah mereka di gua yang ada di Makpela, di sebelah timur Hebron, di ladang yang dulu sudah dibeli Abraham dari Efron, anak orang Het bernama Zohar. Abraham dikuburkan di sisi Sara.

10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.

Sesudah itu, Allah memberkati Isak sebagaimana Dia memberkati ayahnya. Isak menetap di dekat sumur Beer Lahai Roi.

12 Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

Inilah daftar keturunan Ismael, anak Abraham melalui Hagar, orang Mesir itu, yang adalah budaknya Sara.

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 memiliki dua belas anak laki-laki. Nama-nama mereka adalah Nebayot, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

Misma, Duma, Masa,

15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

Hadad, Tema, Yetur, Nafis, dan Kedma.

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.

Itulah nama kedua belas anak Ismael. Semuanya menjadi pemimpin suku. Dan setiap kota yang menjadi pusat suku yang dipimpin dinamai sesuai dengan nama mereka masing-masing.

17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.

Ismael hidup selama 137 tahun, lalu meninggal dunia. Kemudian TUHAN menempatkan dia bersama dengan nenek moyangnya yang sudah meninggal.

18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all his brethren.

Keturunan Ismael tinggal di sebelah timur wilayah keturunan Isak, yaitu di daerah Hawila sampai Syur, ke arah negeri Asyur, di sebelah timur Mesir. Kedua belas suku ini tinggal jauh dari keturunan Isak.

19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:

Inilah riwayat keluarga Isak, anak Abraham:

20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

Ketika Isak berumur 40 tahun, dia menikah dengan Ribka, anak Betuel, adik perempuan Laban. Mereka adalah orang Aram dari Padan Aram.

21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

Tetapi Ribka mandul. Maka Isak berdoa kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN menjawab doanya sehingga istrinya 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.

Ternyata Ribka mengandung anak kembar. Kedua anaknya itu saling bertentangan di dalam rahimnya. Lalu Ribka berdoa meminta petunjuk TUHAN, katanya, “Ya TUHAN, mengapa hal ini terjadi padaku?”

23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and [the one] people shall be stronger than [the other] people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

Jawab TUHAN kepadanya, “Dua anak laki-laki ada di dalam kandunganmu. Keturunan mereka akan menjadi nenek moyang dari dua bangsa yang besar dan saling bermusuhan. Yang muda akan lebih kuat. Yang tua akan menjadi pelayannya.”

24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, [there were] twins in her womb.

Kemudian tibalah waktunya Ribka melahirkan dua anak kembar itu.

25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

Anak yang pertama kulitnya kemerahan dan seluruh tubuhnya berbulu. Mereka menamai dia 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 lahir, tangannya memegang tumit kakaknya. Maka mereka menamai dia Yakub. Isak berumur 60 tahun ketika anak-anaknya itu 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.

Sesudah kedua anak itu dewasa, Esau menjadi seorang pemburu ulung dan suka tinggal di padang, sedangkan Yakub menjadi seorang yang tenang dan suka tinggal di dalam kemah.

28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Karena itu, Isak lebih sayang kepada Esau karena dia suka makan daging hasil buruan Esau, sementara Ribka lebih sayang kepada Yakub.

29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint:

Suatu hari, ketika Yakub sedang memasak sup kacang merah, Esau pulang berburu dari padang dalam keadaan sangat lapar.

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage; ] for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

Berkatalah Esau kepada Yakub, “Aku kelaparan! Berilah aku sebagian sup kacang merah itu.” Inilah sebabnya Esau diberi nama julukan ‘Edom’, yang berarti ‘merah’.

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

Jawab Yakub kepada Esau, “Baiklah, tetapi kamu harus menukarnya dengan hak kesulunganmu.”

32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

Esau berkata, “Aku hampir mati kelaparan! Apalah gunanya hak kesulungan itu bagiku?!”

33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

Kata Yakub, “Bersumpahlah terlebih dahulu bahwa kamu akan memberikan hak kesulunganmu kepadaku.” Lalu dengan bersumpah, Esau menukar hak kesulungannya dengan masakan Yakub.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birthright.

Maka Yakub memberikan roti dan sup kacang merah itu kepada Esau. Dia makan dan minum, lalu pergi. Demikianlah Esau tidak menghargai hak kesulungannya.
