Genesis 25

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

Abraham menikah lagi dengan seorang wanita yang bernama Ketura.

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

Istrinya itu melahirkan anak-anak yang bernama: Zimran, Yoksan, Medan, Midian, Isybak, dan Suah.

3 And, Yokshan, begat 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 Abida. and Eldaah, —all these, were the sons of Keturah.

Anak-anak Midian ialah: Efa, Efer, Henokh, Abida, dan Eldaa. Mereka semuanya keturunan Ketura.

5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;

Walaupun Abraham mewariskan segala harta bendanya kepada Ishak,

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.

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

Abraham meninggal pada usia yang lanjut, yaitu 175 tahun.

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

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;

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 buried Abraham, with 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 Isaac his son, —and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

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 son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to 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 after their generations, —the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, 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 Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

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

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.

Ismael berumur 137 tahun ketika ia meninggal.

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.

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, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;

Inilah riwayat Ishak, anak Abraham.

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.

Ishak berumur empat puluh tahun ketika ia menikah dengan Ribka, adik Laban, anak Betuel, seorang Aram dari Mesopotamia.

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.

Karena Ribka tidak mendapat anak, Ishak berdoa kepada TUHAN untuk istrinya. Dan TUHAN mengabulkan doa Ishak, sehingga Ribka mengandung.

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

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 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.

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

Tibalah saatnya bagi Ribka untuk bersalin, dan ia melahirkan dua anak laki-laki kembar.

25 And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so 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 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,

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 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.

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 of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!

Ishak lebih sayang kepada Esau, sebab Ishak suka makan daging buruan. Tetapi Ribka lebih sayang kepada Yakub.

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

Pada suatu hari ketika Yakub sedang memasak sayur kacang merah, datanglah Esau dari perburuannya. Ia lapar.

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.

Katanya kepada Yakub, "Saya lapar sekali. Minta sedikit kacang merah itu." (Itulah sebabnya ia disebut Edom.)

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

Jawab Yakub, "Baik, asal kauberikan lebih dahulu hakmu sebagai anak sulung."

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

Kata Esau, "Peduli apa hak itu bagi saya. Saya lapar setengah mati!"

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

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.
