Genesis 25

1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Cetthuram

Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.

2 quae peperit ei Zamram et Iexan et Madan et Madian et Iesboch et Sue

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

3 Iexan quoque genuit Saba et Dadan filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim et Lathusim et Loommim

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 Enoch et Abida et Eldaa omnes hii filii Cetthurae

And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, 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, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

7 fuerunt autem dies vitae eius centum septuaginta quinque anni

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

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

Then 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 Ismahel filii sui in spelunca duplici quae sita est in agro Ephron filii Soor Hetthei e regione Mambre

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

10 quem emerat a filiis Heth ibi sepultus est ipse et Sarra uxor eius

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons 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 his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.

12 hae sunt generationes Ismahel filii Abraham quem peperit ei Agar Aegyptia famula Sarrae

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

13 et haec nomina filiorum eius in vocabulis et generationibus suis primogenitus Ismahelis Nabaioth dein Cedar et Abdeel et Mabsam

And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 Masma quoque et Duma et Massa

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 Adad et Thema Itur et Naphis et Cedma

Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 isti sunt filii Ismahel 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 towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.

17 anni vitae Ismahel centum triginta septem deficiens mortuus est et adpositus ad populum suum

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

18 habitavit autem ab Evila 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: [and] he died in the presence of 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 Bathuel Syri de Mesopotamiam sororem Laban

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

21 deprecatusque est Dominum pro uxore sua eo quod esset sterilis qui exaudivit eum et dedit conceptum Rebeccae

And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 sed conlidebantur 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, why [am] I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

23 qui respondens ait duae gentes in utero tuo sunt et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur populusque populum superabit et maior minori serviet

And the LORD said unto her, Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two manner of people 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 venerat et ecce gemini in utero repperti sunt

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

25 qui primus 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, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt parvuli

And after that came his brother out, and his hand took 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 cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man, dwelling in tents.

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

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 coxit autem Iacob pulmentum ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came 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 this day thy birthright.

32 ille respondit en morior quid mihi proderunt primogenita

And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

33 ait Iacob iura ergo mihi iuravit Esau et vendidit primogenita

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; 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

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birthright.
