Genesis 25

1 And Abraham took another wife and her name, was Keturah;

١ وَعَادَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَأَخَذَ زَوْجَةً ٱسْمُهَا قَطُورَةُ،

2 and she bare to him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, —and Ishbak, and Shuah.

٢ فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ: زِمْرَانَ وَيَقْشَانَ وَمَدَانَ وَمِدْيَانَ وَيِشْبَاقَ وَشُوحًا.

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

٣ وَوَلَدَ يَقْشَانُ: شَبَا وَدَدَانَ. وَكَانَ بَنُو دَدَانَ: أَشُّورِيمَ وَلَطُوشِيمَ وَلَأُمِّيمَ.

4 And the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher and Hanoch, and Abida. and Eldaah, —all these, were the sons of Keturah.

٤ وَبَنُو مِدْيَانَ: عَيْفَةُ وَعِفْرُ وَحَنُوكُ وَأَبِيدَاعُ وَأَلْدَعَةُ. جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو قَطُورَةَ.

5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;

٥ وَأَعْطَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ.

6 but, to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, —and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived, eastward unto the land of the east.

٦ وَأَمَّا بَنُو ٱلسَّرَارِيِّ ٱللَّوَاتِي كَانَتْ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَطَايَا، وَصَرَفَهُمْ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنِهِ شَرْقًا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ، وَهُوَ بَعْدُ حَيٌّ.

7 Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.

٧ وَهَذِهِ أَيَّامُ سِنِي حَيَاةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلَّتِي عَاشَهَا: مِئَةٌ وَخَمْسٌ وَسَبْعُونَ سَنَةً.

8 So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto his people,

٨ وَأَسْلَمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رُوحَهُ وَمَاتَ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ، شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ أَيَّامًا، وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ.

9 And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him, in the cave of Machpelah, —in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is over against Mamre;

٩ وَدَفَنَهُ إِسْحَاقُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ٱبْنَاهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ فِي حَقْلِ عِفْرُونَ بْنِ صُوحَرَ ٱلْحِثِّيِّ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ مَمْرَا،

10 the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, —there, was buried Abraham, with Sarah his wife.

١٠ ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَرَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ بَنِي حِثٍّ. هُنَاكَ دُفِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَسَارَةُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ.

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

١١ وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ بَارَكَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ. وَسَكَنَ إِسْحَاقُ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ لَحَيْ رُئِي.

12 Now, these, are the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham;

١٢ وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ هَاجَرُ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّةُ جَارِيَةُ سَارَةَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ.

13 and these, are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names after their generations, —the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam;

١٣ وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ حَسَبَ مَوَالِيدِهِمْ: نَبَايُوتُ بِكْرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَقِيدَارُ، وَأَدَبْئِيلُ وَمِبْسَامُ

14 and Mishma and Dumah, and Massa;

١٤ وَمِشْمَاعُ وَدُومَةُ وَمَسَّا

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

١٥ وَحَدَارُ وَتَيْمَا وَيَطُورُ وَنَافِيشُ وَقِدْمَةُ.

16 these, same, are the sons of Ishmael and these, their names, by their villages and by their encampments, —twelve princes, after their tribes.

١٦ هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ بَنُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ بِدِيَارِهِمْ وَحُصُونِهِمْ. ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ رَئِيسًا حَسَبَ قَبَائِلِهِمْ.

17 And these, are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years, —and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto his people.

١٧ وَهَذِهِ سِنُو حَيَاةِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ: مِئَةٌ وَسَبْعٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً، وَأَسْلَمَ رُوحَهُ وَمَاتَ وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ.

18 And they stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur, which is over against Egypt, as thou goest in towards Assyria, —over against all his brethren, he settled down.

١٨ وَسَكَنُوا مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ إِلَى شُورَ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ مِصْرَ حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ نَحْوَ أَشُّورَ. أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ نَزَلَ.

19 And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;

١٩ وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: وَلَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ.

20 and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to wife.

٢٠ وَكَانَ إِسْحَاقُ ٱبْنَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا ٱتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ زَوْجَةً، رِفْقَةَ بِنْتَ بَتُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ، أُخْتَ لَابَانَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ مِنْ فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ.

21 So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

٢١ وَصَلَّى إِسْحَاقُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَجْلِ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ عَاقِرًا، فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَحَبِلَتْ رِفْقَةُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ.

22 And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.

٢٢ وَتَزَاحَمَ ٱلْوَلَدَانِ فِي بَطْنِهَا، فَقَالَتْ: «إِنْ كَانَ هَكَذَا فَلِمَاذَا أَنَا؟» فَمَضَتْ لِتَسْأَلَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

23 And Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.

٢٣ فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ: «فِي بَطْنِكِ أُمَّتَانِ، وَمِنْ أَحْشَائِكِ يَفْتَرِقُ شَعْبَانِ: شَعْبٌ يَقْوَى عَلَى شَعْبٍ، وَكَبِيرٌ يُسْتَعْبَدُ لِصَغِيرٍ».

24 Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.

٢٤ فَلَمَّا كَمُلَتْ أَيَّامُهَا لِتَلِدَ إِذَا فِي بَطْنِهَا تَوْأَمَانِ.

25 And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,

٢٥ فَخَرَجَ ٱلْأوَّلُ أَحْمَرَ، كُلُّهُ كَفَرْوَةِ شَعْرٍ، فَدَعَوْا ٱسْمَهُ «عِيسُوَ».

26 And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,

٢٦ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ أَخُوهُ وَيَدُهُ قَابِضَةٌ بِعَقِبِ عِيسُو، فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «يَعْقُوبَ». وَكَانَ إِسْحَاقُ ٱبْنَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا وَلَدَتْهُمَا.

27 And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.

٢٧ فَكَبِرَ ٱلْغُلَامَانِ، وَكَانَ عِيسُو إِنْسَانًا يَعْرِفُ ٱلصَّيْدَ، إِنْسَانَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَيَعْقُوبُ إِنْسَانًا كَامِلًا يَسْكُنُ ٱلْخِيَامَ.

28 And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!

٢٨ فَأَحَبَّ إِسْحَاقُ عِيسُوَ لِأَنَّ فِي فَمِهِ صَيْدًا، وَأَمَّا رِفْقَةُ فَكَانَتْ تُحِبُّ يَعْقُوبَ.

29 And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.

٢٩ وَطَبَخَ يَعْقُوبُ طَبِيخًا، فَأَتَى عِيسُو مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَهُوَ قَدْ أَعْيَا.

30 So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.

٣٠ فَقَالَ عِيسُو لِيَعْقُوبَ: «أَطْعِمْنِي مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْأَحْمَرِ لِأَنِّي قَدْ أَعْيَيْتُ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «أَدُومَ».

31 And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.

٣١ فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «بِعْنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ بَكُورِيَّتَكَ».

32 And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?

٣٢ فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «هَا أَنَا مَاضٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، فَلِمَاذَا لِي بَكُورِيَّةٌ؟»

33 And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and sold his birthright to Jacob.

٣٣ فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «ٱحْلِفْ لِيَ ٱلْيَوْمَ». فَحَلَفَ لَهُ، فَبَاعَ بَكُورِيَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ.

34 And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!

٣٤ فَأَعْطَى يَعْقُوبُ عِيسُوَ خُبْزًا وَطَبِيخَ عَدَسٍ، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ وَقَامَ وَمَضَى. فَٱحْتَقَرَ عِيسُو ٱلْبَكُورِيَّةَ.
