Genesis 25

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

١ وَعَادَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَاتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ زَوْجَةً تُدْعَى قَطُورَةَ،

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

٢ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ زِمْرَانَ وَيَقْشَانَ وَمَدَانَ وَمِدْيَانَ وَيِشْبَاقَ وَشُوحاً.

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

٣ وَأَنْجَبَ يَقْشَانُ شَبَا وَدَدَانَ. أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ دَدَانَ فَهُمْ: أَشُّورِيمُ وَلَطُوشِيمُ وَلأُمِّيمُ.

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

٤ وَأَبْنَاءُ مِدْيَانَ هُمْ: عَيْفَةُ وَعِفْرُ وَحَنُوكُ وَأَبِيدَاعُ، وَأَلْدَعَةُ. وَهَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ قَطُورَةَ.

5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

٥ وَوَرَّثَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحاقَ كُلَّ مَالَهُ.

6 But to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son (while he yet lived) eastward, to the east country.

٦ أَمَّا أَبْنَاؤُهُ مِنْ سَرَارِيهِ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَطَايَا، وَصَرَفَهُمْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حَيَاتِهِ نَحْوَ أَرْضِ الْمَشْرِقِ بَعِيداً عَنْ إِسْحاقَ ابْنِهِ.

7 And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred and seventy five years.

٧ وَعَاشَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِئَةً وَخَمْساً وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.

8 Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years]; and was gathered to his people.

٨ ثُمَّ مَاتَ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ وَانْضَمَّ إِلَى أَسْلافِهِ،

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;

٩ فَدَفَنَهُ ابْنَاهُ إِسْحاقُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ فِي مَغَارَةِ الْمَكْفِيلَةِ، فِي حَقْلِ عِفْرُونَ بْنِ صُوحَرَ الْحِثِّيِّ مُقَابِلَ مَمْرَا،

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

١٠ وَهُوَ الْحَقْلُ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنَ الْحِثِّيِّينَ، وَفِيهِ دُفِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَزَوْجَتُهُ سَارَةُ.

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.

١١ وَبَعْدَ وَفَاةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بَارَكَ اللهُ إِسْحاقَ ابْنَهُ، وَأَقَامَ إِسْحاقُ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ لَحَيْ رُئِي.

12 Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.

١٢ وَهَذَا سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَتْهُ هَاجَرُ الْمِصْرِيَّةُ جَارِيَةُ سَارَةَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ.

13 And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

١٣ وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ مَدَوَّنَةً حَسَبَ تَرْتِيبِ وِلادَتِهِمْ: نَبَايُوتُ بِكْرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَقِيدَارُ وَأَدَبْئِيلُ وَمِبْسَامُ،

14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

١٤ وَمِشْمَاعُ وَدُومَةُ وَمَسَّا،

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

١٥ وَحَدَارُ وَتَيْمَا وَيَطُورُ وَنَافِيشُ وَقِدْمَةُ.

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.

١٦ هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ بَنُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ حَسَبَ دِيَارِهِمْ وَحُصُونِهِمْ، وَقَدْ صَارُوا اثْنَي عَشَرَ رَئِيساً لاثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قَبِيلَةً.

17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael; a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he expired and died, and was gathered to his people.

١٧ وَمَاتَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَلَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَةٌ وَسَبْعٌ وَثَلاثُونَ سَنَةً، وَلَحِقَ بِقَوْمِهِ.

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

١٨ أَمَّا ذُرِّيَّتُهُ فَقَدِ انْتَشَرَتْ مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ إِلَى شُورَ الْمُتَاخِمَةِ لِمِصْرَ فِي اتِّجَاهِ أَشُّورَ، وَكَانَتْ عَلَى عَدَاءٍ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ إِخْوَتِهَا.

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

١٩ وَهَذَا سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ إِسْحاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. أَنْجَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحاقَ.

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.

٢٠ وَكَانَ إِسْحاقُ فِي الأَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا تَزَوَّجَ رِفْقَةَ بِنْتَ بَتُوئِيلَ الأَرَامِيِّ مِنْ سَهْلِ أَرَامَ، وَأُخْتَ لابَانَ الأَرَامِيِّ.

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

٢١ وَصَلَّى إِسْحاقُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ امْرَأَتِهِ لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ عَاقِراً، فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ، فَحَمَلَتْ رِفْقَةُ زَوْجَتُهُ.

22 And the children struggled together within her: and she said, If [it is] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.

٢٢ وَإِذْ تَصَارَعَ الطِّفْلانِ فِي بَطْنِهَا قَالَتْ: «إِنْ كَانَ الأَمْرُ هَكَذَا فَمَالِي وَالْحَبَلُ؟» وَمَضَتْ لِتَسْتَفْهِمَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ

23 And the LORD said to 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.

٢٣ فَقَالَ لَهَا الرَّبُّ: «فِي أَحْشَائِكِ أُمَّتَانِ، يَتَفَرَّعُ مِنْهُمَا شَعْبَانِ. شَعْبٌ يَسْتَقْوِي عَلَى شَعْبٍ، وَكَبِيرٌ يُسْتَعْبَدُ لِصَغِيرٍ».

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

٢٤ وَعِنْدَمَا اكْتَمَلَتْ أَيَّامُهَا لِتَلِدَ إِذَا فِي أَحْشَائِهَا تَوْأَمَانِ.

25 And the first was born red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau.

٢٥ فَخَرَجَ الأَوَّلُ مَكْسُوّاً بِالشَّعْرِ وَكَأَنَّهُ يَرْتَدِي فَرْوَةً حَمْرَاءَ، فَدَعَوْهُ عِيسُو (وَمَعْنَاهُ أَشْعَرُ).

26 And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was] sixty years old when she bore them.

٢٦ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ أَخُوهُ وَيَدُهُ قَابِضَةٌ عَلَى عَقِبِ عِيسُو فَدَعَوْهُ يَعْقُوبَ (وَمَعَنَاهُ مُتَعَقِّبٌ). وَكَانَ إِسْحاقُ فِي السِّتِّينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا أَنْجَبَتْهُمَا لَهُ رِفْقَةُ.

27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man dwelling in tents.

٢٧ وَكَبُرَ الْوَلَدَانِ، فَأَصْبَحَ عِيسُو صَيَّاداً مَاهِراً وَرَجُلَ بَرِّيَّةٍ، بَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَعْقُوبُ رَجُلاً هَادِئاً يُقِيمُ فِي الْخِيَامِ.

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

٢٨ وَأَحَبَّ إِسْحاقُ عِيسُو لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ صَيْدِهِ، أَمَّا رِفْقَةُ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّتْ يَعْقُوبَ.

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

٢٩ وَذَاتَ مَرَّةٍ عَادَ عِيسُو مِنَ الْحَقْلِ مُرْهَقاً فَوَجَدَ يَعْقُوبَ قَدْ طَبَخَ طَعَاماً،

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.

٣٠ فَقَالَ عِيسُو لِيَعْقُوبَ: «أَطْعِمْنِي مِنْ هَذَا الطَّبِيخِ الأَحْمَرِ لأَنَّنِي جَائِعٌ جِدّاً». لِهَذَا دُعِيَ عِيسُو بِأَدُومَ.

31 And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birth-right.

٣١ فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «بِعْنِي أَوَّلاً امْتِيَازَاتِ بَكُورِيَّتِكَ».

32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?

٣٢ فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «أَنَا لابُدَّ مَائِتٌ، فَأَيُّ نَفْعٍ لِي مِنْ بَكُورِيَّتِي؟»

33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob.

٣٣ فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «احْلِفْ لِي أَوَّلًا». فَحَلَفَ لَهُ، وَبَاعَ امْتِيَازَاتِ بَكُورِيَّتِهِ لِيَعْقُوبَ.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birth-right.

٣٤ عِنْدَئِذٍ أَعْطَى يَعْقُوبُ عِيسُو خُبْزاً وَطَبِيخَ عَدَسٍ، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ قَامَ وَمَضَى فِي سَبِيلِهِ. وَهَكَذَا احْتَقَرَ عِيسُو امْتِيَازَاتِ الْبَكُورِيَّةِ.
