Genesis 25

1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Ceturam:

And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

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

She became the mother of 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 became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the 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 from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.

5 Deditque Abraham cuncta quae possederat, Isaac:

Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;

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

But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.

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

Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.

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

And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with 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, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;

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

The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.

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

Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.

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

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:

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

These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then 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 in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.

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

And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.

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

And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.

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

Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:

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

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

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

Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.

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 were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.

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 the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.

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

And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.

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 out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.

26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.

And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

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

And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

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

Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.

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

And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;

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, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.

31 Cui dixit Iacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.

And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.

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

And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?

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

And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.

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

Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
