Génesis 25
1 Y Abraham tomó otra mujer, cuyo nombre fue Cetura:
[Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
2 La cual le parió a Zamram, y a Jecsán, y a Madán, y a Madián, y a Jesboc, y a Sue.
She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Y Jecsán engendró a Saba, y a Dadán; e hijos de Dadán fueron Assurim, y Latussim, y 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 E hijos de Madián; Efa, y Efer, y Jenoc, y Abida, y Eldaa. Todos estos fueron hijos de Cetura.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
5 Y Abraham dio todo lo que tenía a Isaac.
Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
6 Y a los hijos de sus concubinas dio Abraham dones: y envióles de junto a Isaac su hijo, mientras él vivió, al oriente, a la tierra oriental.
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 Estos empero fueron los días de la vida de Abraham que vivió ciento y setenta y cinco años.
Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
8 Y espiró y murió Abraham en buena vejez, viejo, y harto de días, y fue agregado a sus pueblos.
He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
9 Y sepultáronle Isaac e Ismael sus hijos en la cueva doble, en la heredad de Efrón hijo de Seor Jetteo, que estaba en frente de Mamré:
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 La heredad que compró Abraham de los hijos de Jet; allí está sepultado y Sara su mujer.
Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
11 Y fue, que después de muerto Abraham, bendijo Dios a Isaac su hijo: y habitó Isaac junto al pozo del Viviente que me ve.
After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
12 Y estas son las generaciones de Ismael hijo de Abraham, que parió Agar Egipcia, sierva de Sara, a Abraham.
(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 Estos pues son los nombres de los hijos de Ismael por sus nombres, por sus linajes. El primogénito de Ismael, Nabajot; y Cedar, y Adbeel, y Mabsam,
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 Y Masma, y Duma, y Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadar, y Tema, y Jetur, y Nafis, y Cedma:
Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Estos son los hijos de Ismael; y estos son sus nombres por sus villas y por sus palacios; doce príncipes por sus familias.
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 Y estos fueron los años de la vida de Ismael, ciento y treinta y siete años: y espiró y murió Ismael, y fue agregado a sus pueblos.
Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
18 Y habitaron desde Hevila hasta el Sur, que está en frente de Egipto viniendo a Assur: delante de todos sus hermanos cayó.
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 Y estas fueron las generaciones de Isaac, hijo de Abraham: Abraham engendró a Isaac:
(This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
20 Y era Isaac de cuarenta años cuando tomó a Rebeca, hija de Batuel Arameo de Padan-aram, hermana de Labán Arameo, por su mujer.
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 Y oró Isaac a Jehová por su mujer que era estéril; y aceptólo Jehová, y concibió Rebeca su mujer.
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 Y los hijos se combatían dentro de ella, y dijo: Si así había de ser, ¿para qué vivo yo? Y fue a consultar a Jehová.
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 Y respondióle Jehová: Dos naciones hay en tu vientre, y dos pueblos serán divididos de tus entrañas; mas el un pueblo será más fuerte que el otro pueblo, y el mayor servirá al menor.
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 Y como se cumplieron sus días para parir, he aquí mellizos en su vientre.
When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
25 Y salió el primero bermejo, y todo él velludo como una ropa; y llamaron su nombre Esaú.
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 Y después salió su hermano, trabada su mano al calcañar de Esaú: y fue llamado su nombre Jacob. Y era Isaac de edad de sesenta años cuando Rebeca los parió.
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 Y crecieron los niños; y Esaú fue varón sabio en la caza, hombre del campo: Jacob empero era varón sincero, que estaba en las tiendas.
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 Y amó Isaac a Esaú, porque comía de su caza. Mas Rebeca amaba a Jacob.
Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
29 Y guisó Jacob un guisado: y volviendo Esaú del campo cansado,
One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
30 Dijo Esaú a Jacob: Ruégote que me des a comer de eso bermejo, eso bermejo, que estoy cansado. Por tanto fue llamado su nombre, 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 Y Jacob respondió: Véndeme hoy en este día tu primogenitura.
Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
32 Entonces dijo Esaú: He aquí, yo me voy a morir, ¿para qué pues me servirá la primogenitura?
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 Y dijo Jacob: Júrame hoy en este día. Y él le juró, y vendió su primogenitura a Jacob.
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 Entonces Jacob dio a Esaú del pan, y del guisado de las lantejas; y él comió, y bebió, y levantóse, y fuése. Y así menospreció Esaú la primogenitura.
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.
