Genesis 25

1 Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,

1 亚伯拉罕又娶了基土拉为妻。

2 and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

2 基土拉为亚伯拉罕生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴和书亚。

3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.

3 约珊生了示巴和底但，底但的子孙是亚书利族、利都示族和利乌米族。

4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.

4 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大和以勒大。这些都是基土拉的子孙。

5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.

5 亚伯拉罕把所有的财产都给了以撒。

6 But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.

6 他趁自己还在世的时候，把一些财物送给他的妾所生的儿子们，让他们离开他的儿子以撒到东方去。

7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years.

7 亚伯拉罕活了一百七十五岁，

8 And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.

8 享尽天年，寿终正寝，归到他祖先那里。

9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.

9 他的两个儿子以撒和以实玛利把他安葬在麦比拉洞，那山洞在幔利附近、赫人琐辖的儿子以弗仑的地里。

10 This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.

10 那块地是亚伯拉罕向赫人买的，他和妻子撒拉都葬在那里。

11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.

11 亚伯拉罕去世以后，上帝赐福给他的儿子以撒。以撒住在庇耳·拉海·莱附近。

12 This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.

12 以实玛利是亚伯拉罕和撒拉的婢女埃及人夏甲所生的儿子，以下是以实玛利的后代。

13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

13 以实玛利的儿子按出生的次序名字如下：长子尼拜约，然后是基达、亚德别、米比衫、

14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

14 米施玛、度玛、玛撒、

15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

15 哈大、提玛、伊突、拿非施、基底玛。

16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.

16 这些都是以实玛利的儿子，他们按照其村庄和营寨分别做了十二个族的族长。

17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.

17 以实玛利活了一百三十七岁，寿终正寝，归到他祖先那里。

18 Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.

18 他子孙居住的地方从哈腓拉一直延伸到埃及东面、通往亚述方向的书珥，他们与其他亲属作对 。

19 This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,

19 以下是关于亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的记载。 亚伯拉罕生以撒。

20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.

20 以撒四十岁娶利百加，利百加是巴旦·亚兰的亚兰人彼土利的女儿、拉班的妹妹。

21 Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.

21 以撒因为利百加不生育，就为她祈求耶和华。耶和华应允了他的祈求，利百加就怀了孕。

22 But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,

22 两个胎儿在她腹中彼此相争，她说：“怎么会这样？”于是，她去求问耶和华。

23 and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”

23 耶和华对她说： “你腹中有两个国家， 两族从你里面分出， 一族要比另一族强大， 将来大的要服侍小的。”

24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.

24 到了生产的时候，利百加果然生下双胞胎。

25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.

25 先出生的婴儿身体通红，浑身长毛，好像穿了皮衣，因此给他取名叫以扫 。

26 After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.

26 随后出生的弟弟手抓着以扫的脚跟，因此给他取名叫雅各 。那时以撒六十岁。

27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.

27 孩子们渐渐长大，以扫擅长狩猎，常在田野活动；雅各性情安静，喜欢待在家里。

28 Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

28 以撒疼爱以扫，因为他喜欢吃以扫打的野味，利百加却疼爱雅各。

29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.

29 一天，雅各正在熬汤，以扫筋疲力尽地从田野回来。

30 He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)

30 以扫对雅各说：“我要累死了，给我一些红汤喝吧！”因此，以扫又叫以东 。

31 “First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.

31 雅各回答说：“你今天把长子的名分卖给我吧！”

32 “Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”

32 以扫说：“我都快死了，长子的名分对我有什么用呢？”

33 “Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.

33 雅各说：“你现在向我起誓保证吧！”于是，以扫就起誓把长子的名分卖给了雅各。

34 Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

34 雅各把饼和豆汤给以扫，以扫吃完喝完便起身走了。以扫就这样轻看自己长子的名分。
