1 προσθέμενος δὲ Αβρααμ ἔλαβεν γυναῖκα ᾗ ὄνομα Χεττουρα
Abraham married another wife; her name was Keturah.
2 ἔτεκεν δὲ αὐτῷ τὸν Ζεμραν καὶ τὸν Ιεξαν καὶ τὸν Μαδαν καὶ τὸν Μαδιαμ καὶ τὸν Ιεσβοκ καὶ τὸν Σωυε
She had the following sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Ιεξαν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαβα καὶ τὸν Θαιμαν καὶ τὸν Δαιδαν υἱοὶ δὲ Δαιδαν ἐγένοντο Ραγουηλ καὶ Ναβδεηλ καὶ Ασσουριιμ καὶ Λατουσιιμ καὶ Λοωμιμ
Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
4 υἱοὶ δὲ Μαδιαμ Γαιφα καὶ Αφερ καὶ Ενωχ καὶ Αβιρα καὶ Ελραγα πάντες οὗτοι ἦσαν υἱοὶ Χεττουρας
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These were all descendants of Keturah.
5 ἔδωκεν δὲ Αβρααμ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ Ισαακ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ
Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
6 καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν παλλακῶν αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν Αβρααμ δόματα καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ Ισαακ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἔτι ζῶντος αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς εἰς γῆν ἀνατολῶν
But while he was still alive, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them to live in the east, well away from Isaac.
7 ταῦτα δὲ τὰ ἔτη ἡμερῶν ζωῆς Αβρααμ ὅσα ἔζησεν ἑκατὸν ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε ἔτη
Abraham lived to be 175
8 καὶ ἐκλιπὼν ἀπέθανεν Αβρααμ ἐν γήρει καλῷ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
when he breathed his last and died at a good old age. He had lived a full life, and now he joined his forefathers in death.
9 καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν Ισαακ καὶ Ισμαηλ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν Εφρων τοῦ Σααρ τοῦ Χετταίου ὅ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι Μαμβρη
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field that had belonged to Ephron, son of Zohar, the Hittite.
10 τὸν ἀγρὸν καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἐκτήσατο Αβρααμ παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Χετ ἐκεῖ ἔθαψαν Αβρααμ καὶ Σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ
This was the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
11 ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Αβρααμ εὐλόγησεν ὁ θεὸς Ισαακ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ κατῴκησεν Ισαακ παρὰ τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ὁράσεως
After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who was living near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 αὗται δὲ αἱ γενέσεις Ισμαηλ τοῦ υἱοῦ Αβρααμ ὃν ἔτεκεν Αγαρ ἡ παιδίσκη Σαρρας τῷ Αβρααμ
This is the genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael. His mother Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian slave.
13 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ισμαηλ κατ’ ὄνομα τῶν γενεῶν αὐτοῦ πρωτότοκος Ισμαηλ Ναβαιωθ καὶ Κηδαρ καὶ Ναβδεηλ καὶ Μασσαμ
These were the names of the sons of Ishmael according to their family genealogy: Nebaioth (firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 καὶ Μασμα καὶ Ιδουμα καὶ Μασση
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 καὶ Χοδδαδ καὶ Θαιμαν καὶ Ιετουρ καὶ Ναφες καὶ Κεδμα
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισμαηλ καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς σκηναῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐπαύλεσιν αὐτῶν δώδεκα ἄρχοντες κατὰ ἔθνη αὐτῶν
These were the sons of Ishmael, and these became the names of the places where they lived and camped—the twelve family rulers of their tribes.
17 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ἔτη τῆς ζωῆς Ισμαηλ ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα ἑπτὰ ἔτη καὶ ἐκλιπὼν ἀπέθανεν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ
Ishmael lived to be 137. Then he breathed his last and died, and joined his forefathers in death.
18 κατῴκησεν δὲ ἀπὸ Ευιλατ ἕως Σουρ ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον Αἰγύπτου ἕως ἐλθεῖν πρὸς Ἀσσυρίους κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ κατῴκησεν
Ishmael's descendants inhabited the region from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. They were forever fighting with one other.
19 καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Ισαακ τοῦ υἱοῦ Αβρααμ Αβρααμ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ισαακ
The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of Isaac.
20 ἦν δὲ Ισαακ ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὴν Ρεβεκκαν θυγατέρα Βαθουηλ τοῦ Σύρου ἐκ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας ἀδελφὴν Λαβαν τοῦ Σύρου ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκα
When Isaac was 40 he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 ἐδεῖτο δὲ Ισαακ κυρίου περὶ Ρεβεκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ ὅτι στεῖρα ἦν ἐπήκουσεν δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ θεός καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν γαστρὶ Ρεβεκκα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ
Isaac prayed to the Lord for help on behalf of his wife because she couldn't have children. The Lord answered his prayer and she became pregnant.
22 ἐσκίρτων δὲ τὰ παιδία ἐν αὐτῇ εἶπεν δέ εἰ οὕτως μοι μέλλει γίνεσθαι ἵνα τί μοι τοῦτο ἐπορεύθη δὲ πυθέσθαι παρὰ κυρίου
The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”
23 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος αὐτῇ δύο ἔθνη ἐν τῇ γαστρί σού εἰσιν καὶ δύο λαοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας σου διασταλήσονται καὶ λαὸς λαοῦ ὑπερέξει καὶ ὁ μείζων δουλεύσει τῷ ἐλάσσονι
“You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”
24 καὶ ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν καὶ τῇδε ἦν δίδυμα ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
25 ἐξῆλθεν δὲ ὁ υἱὸς ὁ πρωτότοκος πυρράκης ὅλος ὡσεὶ δορὰ δασύς ἐπωνόμασεν δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ησαυ
The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a coat. So they named him Esau.
26 καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐπειλημμένη τῆς πτέρνης Ησαυ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ιακωβ Ισαακ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα ὅτε ἔτεκεν αὐτοὺς Ρεβεκκα
Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they were born.
27 ηὐξήθησαν δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι καὶ ἦν Ησαυ ἄνθρωπος εἰδὼς κυνηγεῖν ἄγροικος Ιακωβ δὲ ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἄπλαστος οἰκῶν οἰκίαν
The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents.
28 ἠγάπησεν δὲ Ισαακ τὸν Ησαυ ὅτι ἡ θήρα αὐτοῦ βρῶσις αὐτῷ Ρεβεκκα δὲ ἠγάπα τὸν Ιακωβ
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 ἥψησεν δὲ Ιακωβ ἕψεμα ἦλθεν δὲ Ησαυ ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου ἐκλείπων
One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
30 καὶ εἶπεν Ησαυ τῷ Ιακωβ γεῦσόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἑψέματος τοῦ πυρροῦ τούτου ὅτι ἐκλείπω διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Εδωμ
“Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)
31 εἶπεν δὲ Ιακωβ τῷ Ησαυ ἀπόδου μοι σήμερον τὰ πρωτοτόκιά σου ἐμοί
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
32 εἶπεν δὲ Ησαυ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι τελευτᾶν καὶ ἵνα τί μοι ταῦτα τὰ πρωτοτόκια
“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ιακωβ ὄμοσόν μοι σήμερον καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ ἀπέδοτο δὲ Ησαυ τὰ πρωτοτόκια τῷ Ιακωβ
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
34 Ιακωβ δὲ ἔδωκεν τῷ Ησαυ ἄρτον καὶ ἕψεμα φακοῦ καὶ ἔφαγεν καὶ ἔπιεν καὶ ἀναστὰς ᾤχετο καὶ ἐφαύλισεν Ησαυ τὰ πρωτοτόκια
Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son.
