Genesis 25

1 Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,

1 وَعَادَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَأَخَذَ زَوْجَةً ٱسْمُهَا قَطُورَةُ،

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

2 فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ: زِمْرَانَ وَيَقْشَانَ وَمَدَانَ وَمِدْيَانَ وَيِشْبَاقَ وَشُوحًا.

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

3 وَوَلَدَ يَقْشَانُ: شَبَا وَدَدَانَ. وَكَانَ بَنُو دَدَانَ: أَشُّورِيمَ وَلَطُوشِيمَ وَلَأُمِّيمَ.

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

4 وَبَنُو مِدْيَانَ: عَيْفَةُ وَعِفْرُ وَحَنُوكُ وَأَبِيدَاعُ وَأَلْدَعَةُ. جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو قَطُورَةَ.

5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.

5 وَأَعْطَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ.

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 وَأَمَّا بَنُو ٱلسَّرَارِيِّ ٱللَّوَاتِي كَانَتْ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَطَايَا، وَصَرَفَهُمْ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنِهِ شَرْقًا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ، وَهُوَ بَعْدُ حَيٌّ.

7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years.

7 وَهَذِهِ أَيَّامُ سِنِي حَيَاةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلَّتِي عَاشَهَا: مِئَةٌ وَخَمْسٌ وَسَبْعُونَ سَنَةً.

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

8 وَأَسْلَمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رُوحَهُ وَمَاتَ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ، شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ أَيَّامًا، وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ.

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 وَدَفَنَهُ إِسْحَاقُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ٱبْنَاهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ فِي حَقْلِ عِفْرُونَ بْنِ صُوحَرَ ٱلْحِثِّيِّ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ مَمْرَا،

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

10 ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَرَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ بَنِي حِثٍّ. هُنَاكَ دُفِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَسَارَةُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ.

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

11 وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ بَارَكَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ. وَسَكَنَ إِسْحَاقُ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ لَحَيْ رُئِي.

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

12 وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ هَاجَرُ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّةُ جَارِيَةُ سَارَةَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ.

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 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ حَسَبَ مَوَالِيدِهِمْ: نَبَايُوتُ بِكْرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَقِيدَارُ، وَأَدَبْئِيلُ وَمِبْسَامُ

14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

14 وَمِشْمَاعُ وَدُومَةُ وَمَسَّا

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

15 وَحَدَارُ وَتَيْمَا وَيَطُورُ وَنَافِيشُ وَقِدْمَةُ.

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

16 هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ بَنُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ بِدِيَارِهِمْ وَحُصُونِهِمْ. ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ رَئِيسًا حَسَبَ قَبَائِلِهِمْ.

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

17 وَهَذِهِ سِنُو حَيَاةِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ: مِئَةٌ وَسَبْعٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً، وَأَسْلَمَ رُوحَهُ وَمَاتَ وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ.

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 وَسَكَنُوا مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ إِلَى شُورَ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ مِصْرَ حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ نَحْوَ أَشُّورَ. أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ نَزَلَ.

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

19 وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: وَلَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ.

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 وَكَانَ إِسْحَاقُ ٱبْنَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا ٱتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ زَوْجَةً، رِفْقَةَ بِنْتَ بَتُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ، أُخْتَ لَابَانَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ مِنْ فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ.

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 وَصَلَّى إِسْحَاقُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَجْلِ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ عَاقِرًا، فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَحَبِلَتْ رِفْقَةُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ.

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 وَتَزَاحَمَ ٱلْوَلَدَانِ فِي بَطْنِهَا، فَقَالَتْ: «إِنْ كَانَ هَكَذَا فَلِمَاذَا أَنَا؟» فَمَضَتْ لِتَسْأَلَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

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 فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ: «فِي بَطْنِكِ أُمَّتَانِ، وَمِنْ أَحْشَائِكِ يَفْتَرِقُ شَعْبَانِ: شَعْبٌ يَقْوَى عَلَى شَعْبٍ، وَكَبِيرٌ يُسْتَعْبَدُ لِصَغِيرٍ».

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

24 فَلَمَّا كَمُلَتْ أَيَّامُهَا لِتَلِدَ إِذَا فِي بَطْنِهَا تَوْأَمَانِ.

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

25 فَخَرَجَ ٱلْأوَّلُ أَحْمَرَ، كُلُّهُ كَفَرْوَةِ شَعْرٍ، فَدَعَوْا ٱسْمَهُ «عِيسُوَ».

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 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ أَخُوهُ وَيَدُهُ قَابِضَةٌ بِعَقِبِ عِيسُو، فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «يَعْقُوبَ». وَكَانَ إِسْحَاقُ ٱبْنَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا وَلَدَتْهُمَا.

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 فَكَبِرَ ٱلْغُلَامَانِ، وَكَانَ عِيسُو إِنْسَانًا يَعْرِفُ ٱلصَّيْدَ، إِنْسَانَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَيَعْقُوبُ إِنْسَانًا كَامِلًا يَسْكُنُ ٱلْخِيَامَ.

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

28 فَأَحَبَّ إِسْحَاقُ عِيسُوَ لِأَنَّ فِي فَمِهِ صَيْدًا، وَأَمَّا رِفْقَةُ فَكَانَتْ تُحِبُّ يَعْقُوبَ.

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

29 وَطَبَخَ يَعْقُوبُ طَبِيخًا، فَأَتَى عِيسُو مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَهُوَ قَدْ أَعْيَا.

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 فَقَالَ عِيسُو لِيَعْقُوبَ: «أَطْعِمْنِي مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْأَحْمَرِ لِأَنِّي قَدْ أَعْيَيْتُ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «أَدُومَ».

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

31 فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «بِعْنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ بَكُورِيَّتَكَ».

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

32 فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «هَا أَنَا مَاضٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، فَلِمَاذَا لِي بَكُورِيَّةٌ؟»

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

33 فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «ٱحْلِفْ لِيَ ٱلْيَوْمَ». فَحَلَفَ لَهُ، فَبَاعَ بَكُورِيَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ.

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 فَأَعْطَى يَعْقُوبُ عِيسُوَ خُبْزًا وَطَبِيخَ عَدَسٍ، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ وَقَامَ وَمَضَى. فَٱحْتَقَرَ عِيسُو ٱلْبَكُورِيَّةَ.
