Genesis 25

1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Ceturam:

And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 quae peperit ei Zamran et Iecsan, et Madan, et Madian, et Iesboc, et Sue.

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

3 Iecsan quoque genuit Saba, et Dadan. Filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim, et Latusim, et Loomin.

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

4 At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha, et Opher, et Henoch, et Abida, et Eldaa: omnes hi filii Ceturae.

And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 Deditque Abraham cuncta quae possederat, Isaac:

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

6 filiis autem concubinarum largitus est munera, et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem.

But unto the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

7 Fuerunt autem dies vitae Abrahae, centum septuaginta quinque anni.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years.

8 Et deficiens mortuus est in senectute bona, provectaeque aetatis, et plenus dierum: congregatusque est ad populum suum.

And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years], and was gathered to his people.

9 Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismael filii sui in spelunca duplici, quae sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hethaei, e regione Mambre,

And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

10 quam emerat a filiis Heth: ibi sepultus est ipse, et Sara uxor eius.

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

11 Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio eius, qui habitabat iuxta puteum nomine Viventis et videntis.

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son: and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

12 Hae sunt generationes Ismael filii Abrahae, quem peperit ei Agar Aegyptia, famula Sarae: et

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

13 haec nomina filiorum eius in vocabulis et generationibus suis. Primogenitus Ismaelis Nabaioth, deinde Cedar, et Adbeel, et Mabsam,

and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 Masma quoque, et Duma, et Massa,

and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 Hadar, et Thema, et Itur, et Naphis, et Cedma.

Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 Isti sunt filii Ismaelis: et haec nomina per castella et oppida eorum, duodecim principes tribuum suarum.

these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations.

17 Et facti sunt anni vitae Ismaelis centum triginta septem, deficiensque mortuus est, et appositus ad populum suum.

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people.

18 Habitavit autem ab Hevila usque Sur, quae respicit Aegyptum introeuntibus Assyrios. coram cunctis fratribus suis obiit.

And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode over against all his brethren.

19 Hae quoque sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac:

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:

20 qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban.

and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccae.

And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren: and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 Sed collidebantur in utero eius parvuli; quae ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? Perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

23 Qui respondens, ait: Duae gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur, populusque populum superabit, et maior serviet minori.

And Jehovah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels: And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger.

24 Iam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero eius reperti sunt.

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

25 Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus: vocatumque est nomen eius Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu: et idcirco appellavit eum Iacob.

And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.

And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.

27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Iacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis.

And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.

28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Iacob.

Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Coxit autem Iacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,

And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:

30 ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen eius Edom.

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.

31 Cui dixit Iacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.

And Jacob said, Sell me first thy birthright.

32 Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita?

And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me?

33 Ait Iacob: Iura ergo mihi. Iuravit ei Esau, et vendidit primogenita.

And Jacob said, Swear to me first; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

34 Et sic accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit, et bibit, et abiit; parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.

And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright.
