Genesis 25
1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Ceturam:
Abraham married another wife; her name was Keturah.
2 quae peperit ei Zamran et Iecsan, et Madan, et Madian, et Iesboc, et Sue.
She had the following sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Iecsan quoque genuit Saba, et Dadan. Filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim, et Latusim, et Loomin.
Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
4 At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha, et Opher, et Henoch, et Abida, et Eldaa: omnes hi filii Ceturae.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Deditque Abraham cuncta quae possederat, Isaac:
Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
6 filiis autem concubinarum largitus est munera, et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem.
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 Fuerunt autem dies vitae Abrahae, centum septuaginta quinque anni.
Abraham lived to be 175
8 Et deficiens mortuus est in senectute bona, provectaeque aetatis, et plenus dierum: congregatusque est ad populum suum.
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 Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismael filii sui in spelunca duplici, quae sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hethaei, e regione Mambre,
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 quam emerat a filiis Heth: ibi sepultus est ipse, et Sara uxor eius.
This was the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
11 Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio eius, qui habitabat iuxta puteum nomine Viventis et videntis.
After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who was living near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Hae sunt generationes Ismael filii Abrahae, quem peperit ei Agar Aegyptia, famula Sarae: et
This is the genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael. His mother Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian slave.
13 haec nomina filiorum eius in vocabulis et generationibus suis. Primogenitus Ismaelis Nabaioth, deinde Cedar, et Adbeel, et Mabsam,
These were the names of the sons of Ishmael according to their family genealogy: Nebaioth (firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Masma quoque, et Duma, et Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadar, et Thema, et Itur, et Naphis, et Cedma.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Isti sunt filii Ismaelis: et haec nomina per castella et oppida eorum, duodecim principes tribuum suarum.
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 Et facti sunt anni vitae Ismaelis centum triginta septem, deficiensque mortuus est, et appositus ad populum suum.
Ishmael lived to be 137. Then he breathed his last and died, and joined his forefathers in death.
18 Habitavit autem ab Hevila usque Sur, quae respicit Aegyptum introeuntibus Assyrios. coram cunctis fratribus suis obiit.
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 Hae quoque sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac:
The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of Isaac.
20 qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban.
When Isaac was 40 he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccae.
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 Sed collidebantur in utero eius parvuli; quae ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? Perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum.
The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”
23 Qui respondens, ait: Duae gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur, populusque populum superabit, et maior serviet minori.
“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 Iam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero eius reperti sunt.
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
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.
The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a coat. So they named him Esau.
26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.
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 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Iacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis.
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 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Iacob.
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Coxit autem Iacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,
One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
30 ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen eius Edom.
“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 Cui dixit Iacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
32 Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita?
“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 Ait Iacob: Iura ergo mihi. Iuravit ei Esau, et vendidit primogenita.
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
34 Et sic accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit, et bibit, et abiit; parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.
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.
