Postanak 25
1 A Avram uze drugu ženu, po imenu Heturu.
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 I ona mu rodi Zomrana i Joksana i Madana i Madijama i Jesvoka i Soijena.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 A Joksan rodi Savana i Dedana. A Dedanovi sinovi biše Asurim i Latusim i Laomim.
Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
4 A sinovi Madijamovi: Efar i Afir i Enoh i Avida i Eldaga. Svi bjehu djeca Heturina.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 A Avram dade sve što imaše Isaku;
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 A sinovima svojih inoèa dade Avram dare, i opravi ih od Isaka sina svojega još za života svojega na istok, u istoèni kraj.
But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
7 I vijeka Avramova što poživje bješe sto i sedamdeset i pet godina.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 I onemoæav umrije Avram u dobroj starosti, sit života, i bi pribran k rodu svojemu.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 I pogreboše ga Isak i Ismailo u peæini Makpelskoj na njivi Efrona sina Sara Hetejina, koja je prema Mamriji;
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
10 Na njivi koju kupi Avram od sinova Hetovijeh, ondje je pogreben Avram sa Sarom ženom svojom.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 I po smrti Avramovoj blagoslovi Bog Isaka sina njegova; a Isak življaše kod studenca živoga koji me vidi.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 A ovo je pleme Ismaila sina Avramova, kojega rodi Avramu Agara Misirka robinja Sarina,
(These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
13 I ovo su imena sinova Ismailovijeh, kako se zvahu u plemenima svojim; prvenac Ismailov Navajot, pa Kidar i Navdeilo i Masam,
These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 I Masma i Duma i Masa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 I Hadar i Teman i Jetur i Nafes i Kedma.
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 To su sinovi Ismailovi, i to su im imena po selima i gradovima njihovijem, dvanaest knezova nad svojim narodima.
The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
17 A godine su vijeka Ismailova sto i trideset i sedam godina. Poslije onemoæav umrije, i bi pribran k rodu svojemu.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 I življahu od Evilata do Sura prema Misiru, kako se ide u Asiriju; i dopade mu prema svoj braæi svojoj da živi.
His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
19 A ovo je pleme Isaka sina Avramova: Avram rodi Isaka;
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 A Isaku bješe èetrdeset godina kad se oženi Revekom, kæerju Vatuila Sirina iz Mesopotamije, sestrom Lavana Sirina.
and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
21 I Isak se moljaše Gospodu za ženu svoju, jer bješe nerotkinja; i umoli Gospoda, te zatrudnje Reveka žena njegova.
Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
22 Ali udarahu jedno o drugo djeca u utrobi njezinoj, te reèe: ako je tako, našto sam? I otide da pita Gospoda.
She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
23 A Gospod joj reèe: dva su plemena u utrobi tvojoj, i dva æe naroda izaæi iz tebe; i jedan æe narod biti jaèi od drugoga naroda, i veæi æe služiti manjemu.
Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
24 I kad doðe vrijeme da rodi, a to blizanci u utrobi njezinoj.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 I prvi izaðe crven, sav kao runo rutav; i nadješe mu ime Isav.
The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
26 A poslije izaðe brat mu, držeæi rukom za petu Isava; i nadješe mu ime Jakov. A bješe Isaku šezdeset godina, kad ih rodi Reveka.
Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
27 I djeca odrastoše, i Isav posta lovac i ratar, a Jakov bješe èovjek krotak i bavljaše se u šatorima.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
28 I Isak milovaše Isava, jer rado jeðaše lova njegova; a Reveka milovaše Jakova.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Jednom Jakov skuha jelo, a Isav doðe iz polja umoran.
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 I reèe Isav Jakovu: daj mi da jedem toga jela crvenoga, jer sam umoran. Otuda se prozva Edom.
He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
31 A Jakov mu reèe: prodaj mi danas prvenaštvo svoje.
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 A Isav odgovori: evo, hoæu da umrem, pa što æe mi prvenaštvo?
Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
33 A Jakov reèe: zakuni mi se danas. I on mu se zakle; tako prodade svoje prvenaštvo Jakovu.
Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 I Jakov dade Isavu hljeba i skuhanoga leæa, i on se najede i napi, pa usta i otide. Tako Isav nije mario za prvenaštvo svoje.
Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
