< Genesis 25 >

1 And Abraham addeth and taketh a wife, and her name [is] Keturah;
Abraham menikah lagi dengan seorang wanita yang bernama Ketura.
2 and she beareth to 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 hath begotten 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 [are] Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah: all these [are] sons of Keturah.
Anak-anak Midian ialah: Efa, Efer, Henokh, Abida, dan Eldaa. Mereka semuanya keturunan Ketura.
5 And Abraham giveth all that he hath to Isaac;
Walaupun Abraham mewariskan segala harta bendanya kepada Ishak,
6 and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham hath, Abraham hath given gifts, and sendeth them away from Isaac his son (in his being yet alive) 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 the life of Abraham, which he lived, a hundred and seventy and five years;
Abraham meninggal pada usia yang lanjut, yaitu 175 tahun.
8 and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.
9 And Isaac and Ishmael his sons bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar 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 bought from the sons of Heth — there hath Abraham been buried, and Sarah his wife.
tetapi sudah dibeli oleh Abraham dari orang Het itu. Sara, istri Abraham, juga dikuburkan di sana.
11 And it cometh to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blesseth Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelleth by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.
Setelah Abraham meninggal, Allah memberkati Ishak, anak Abraham. Pada waktu itu Ishak tinggal di dekat sumur yang disebut "Dia Yang Memperhatikan Aku".
12 And these [are] births of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, hath borne 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, according to their births: first-born 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 sons of Ishmael, and these their names, by their villages, and by their towers; twelve princes according to their peoples.
17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people;
Ismael berumur 137 tahun ketika ia meninggal.
18 and they tabernacle from Havilah unto Shur, which [is] before Egypt, in [thy] going towards Asshur; in the presence of all his brethren hath he fallen.
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] births of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham hath begotten Isaac;
Inilah riwayat Ishak, anak Abraham.
20 and Isaac is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean, from Padan-Aram, sister of Laban the Aramaean, to him for a wife.
Ishak berumur empat puluh tahun ketika ia menikah dengan Ribka, adik Laban, anak Betuel, seorang Aram dari Mesopotamia.
21 And Isaac maketh entreaty to Jehovah before his wife, for she [is] barren: and Jehovah is entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiveth,
Karena Ribka tidak mendapat anak, Ishak berdoa kepada TUHAN untuk istrinya. Dan TUHAN mengabulkan doa Ishak, sehingga Ribka mengandung.
22 and the children struggle together within her, and she saith, 'If [it is] right — why [am] I thus?' and she goeth to seek Jehovah.
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 Jehovah saith to her, 'Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the [one] people than the [other] people is stronger; and the elder doth 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 her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins [are] in her womb;
Tibalah saatnya bagi Ribka untuk bersalin, dan ia melahirkan dua anak laki-laki kembar.
25 and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau;
Yang sulung warnanya kemerah-merahan, dan kulitnya seperti jubah yang berbulu. Sebab itu ia dinamakan Esau.
26 and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau's heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing 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 youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with] hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob [is] a plain man, inhabiting 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 loveth Esau, for [his] hunting [is] in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.
Ishak lebih sayang kepada Esau, sebab Ishak suka makan daging buruan. Tetapi Ribka lebih sayang kepada Yakub.
29 And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the field, and he [is] weary;
Pada suatu hari ketika Yakub sedang memasak sayur kacang merah, datanglah Esau dari perburuannya. Ia lapar.
30 and Esau saith unto Jacob, 'Let me eat, I pray thee, some of this red red thing, for I [am] weary;' therefore hath [one] called his name Edom [Red];
Katanya kepada Yakub, "Saya lapar sekali. Minta sedikit kacang merah itu." (Itulah sebabnya ia disebut Edom.)
31 and Jacob saith, 'Sell to-day thy birthright to me.'
Jawab Yakub, "Baik, asal kauberikan lebih dahulu hakmu sebagai anak sulung."
32 And Esau saith, 'Lo, I am going to die, and what is this to me — birthright?'
Kata Esau, "Peduli apa hak itu bagi saya. Saya lapar setengah mati!"
33 and Jacob saith, 'Swear to me to-day:' and he sweareth to him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob;
Kata Yakub pula, "Bersumpahlah dulu bahwa kauberikan hakmu kepada saya." Esau bersumpah dan memberi haknya kepada Yakub.
34 and Jacob hath given to Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he eateth, and drinketh, and riseth, and goeth; and Esau despiseth the 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.
