1 Mose 25
1 Abraham aber nahm nochmals ein Weib, namens Ketura.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 Und sie gebar ihm Zimran, Joksan, Medan, Midian, Isbak und Suach.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Joksan aber hatte Seba und Dedan gezeugt, und Dedans Söhne wurden zu Asuritern, Letusitern und Lëumitern.
Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
4 Und Midians Söhne sind Epha, Epher, Chanok, Abida und Eldaa; all dies sind Söhne der Ketura.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Dann übergab Abraham all sein Eigentum dem Isaak.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Den Nebenweibersöhnen aber, die Abraham besaß, hatte Abraham Geschenke gegeben; er ließ sie zugunsten seines Sohnes Isaak, noch bei seinen Lebzeiten, ostwärts ins Ostland ziehen.
But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
7 Dies ist der Lebensjahre Abrahams Dauer, die er durchlebte, 175 Jahre.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Und Abraham verschied und starb in schönem Alter, alt und lebenssatt, und ward zu seinen Stammesgenossen versammelt.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Ihn begruben seine Söhne Isaak und Ismael in der Höhle der Makpela, auf des Chittiters Ephrons, des Socharsohnes, Feld, Mamre gegenüber,
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
10 auf dem Feld, das Abraham von Chets Söhnen gekauft. Dort waren Abraham und sein Weib Sara begraben worden.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 Nach Abrahams Tode segnete Gott seinen Sohn Isaak; Isaak aber wohnte bei dem Brunnen Lachaj Roi.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Dies ist die Geschlechterfolge des Abrahamsohnes Ismael den die Ägypterin Hagar, Saras Magd, dem Abraham geboren hat.
(These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
13 Dies sind die Namen der Söhne Ismaels nach ihren Namen und ihrem Stammbaum: Ismaels Erstgeborener Nebajot, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Misma, Duma, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Chadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphis und Kedma.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Dies sind die Söhne Ismaels und dies ihre Namen nach ihren Gehöften und Zeltlagern, zwölf Fürsten nach ihren Stammverbänden.
The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
17 Und dies war Ismaels Lebensdauer: 137 Jahre; da verschied er. Er starb und ward zu seinen Stammesgenossen versammelt.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Sie lagerten von Chavila bis Schur, östlich von Ägypten und bis gen Assur hin. Er fiel zu Lebzeiten all seiner Brüder.
His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
19 Dies ist die Geschlechterfolge des Abrahamsohnes Isaak: Abraham hat Isaak gezeugt.
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Isaak aber war 40 Jahre alt, als er sich Rebekka, des Aramäers Betuel Tochter, aus Paddan Aram, die Schwester des Aramäers Laban, zum Weibe nahm.
and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
21 Isaak aber flehte zum Herrn für sein Weib, weil es unfruchtbar war. Und der Herr ließ sich von ihm erbitten, und so ward sein Weib Rebekka guter Hoffnung.
Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
22 Aber die Kinder rannten einander in ihrem Leibe an. Da sprach sie: "Steht's so, warum trifft es gerade mich?" Und sie ging den Herrn befragen.
She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
23 Da sprach der Herr zu ihr: "Zwei Völker sind in deinem Leibe, und zwei Stämme scheiden sich aus deinem Schoße. Ein Stamm beherrscht den anderen; lang wird der jüngere dienstbar sein."
Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
24 Als ihre Zeit kam zum Gebären, da waren Zwillinge in ihrem Leib.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Der erste, rötlich, kam wie ein haariger Mantel hervor, und man nannte ihn Esau.
The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
26 Danach kam sein Bruder hervor, und er hielt mit seiner Hand die Ferse Esaus. So nannte man ihn Jakob. Isaak aber war 60 Jahre alt, als sie geboren wurden.
Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
27 Die Knaben wuchsen nun heran. Esau ward ein tüchtiger Jäger, ein Mann der Steppe; Jakob aber war ein schlichter Mann, der bei den Zelten blieb.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
28 Isaak aber liebte Esau; denn er sprach gern von der Jagd. Rebekka aber liebte Jakob.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Einst kochte Jakob ein Gericht; da kam Esau ganz erschöpft aus der Steppe.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Und Esau sprach zu Jakob: "Laß mich doch eilends von dieser roten Zukost genießen! Denn ich bin erschöpft." Deshalb nannte man ihn Edom.
He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
31 Da sprach Jakob: "Verkaufe mir zuvor dein Erstgeburtsrecht!"
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Esau sprach: "Ich muß sonst sterben. Was nützt mir da die Erstgeburt?"
Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
33 Jakob sprach: "Schwöre mir zuvor!" Da schwur er ihm und verkaufte sein Erstgeburtsrecht an Jakob.
Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Jakob aber gab Esau Brot und das Linsengericht. Da aß er und trank, stand auf und ging von hinnen. So verscherzte Esau das Erstgeburtsrecht.
Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
