1 و َتَزَوَّجَ إبْراهِيمُ امْرأةً أُخْرَى اسْمُها قَطُورَةَ.

Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 و َأنْجَبَتْ زِمْرانَ وَيَقْشانَ وَمَدانَ وَمِدْيانَ وَيِشْباقَ وَشُوحَ.

She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 و َأنجَبَ يَقْشانُ شَبا وَدَدانَ. وَنَسلُ دَدانَ هُمْ شَعبُ أشُّورِيمَ وَلَطُوشِيمَ وَلأُمِّيمَ.

Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

4 أ مّا أولادُ مِدْيانَ فَهُمْ عَيفَةُ وَعِفْرُ وَحَنُوكُ وَأبِيداعُ وَألْدَعَةُ. كانَ هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً أبْناءَ قَطُورَةَ.

The sons of Midian were: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 و َمَلَّكَ إبْراهِيمُ إسْحاقَ كُلَّ ما كانَ لَهُ.

Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,

6 ل َكِنَّهُ قَدَّمَ هِباتٍ لِأبْناءِ جَوارِيهِ. وَأثْناءَ حَياتِهِ، صَرَفَهُمْ شَرْقاً بَعِيداً عَنِ ابْنِهِ إسْحاقَ إلَى أرْضِ المَشْرِقِ.

but to the sons of Abraham’s concubines, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

7 و َعاشَ إبْراهِيمُ مِئَةً وَخَمْساً وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.

These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.

8 و َأسلَمَ رُوحَهُ فِي سِنِّ الشَّيخُوخَةِ، بَعْدَ حَياةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ مُرْضِيَةٍ، وَضُمَّ إلَى جَماعَتِهِ.

Abraham gave up his spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

9 و َدَفَنَهُ ابْناهُ إسْحاقُ وَإسْماعِيلُ فِي كَهفِ المَكْفِيلَةِ فِي حَقلِ عِفْرُونَ بْنِ صُوحَرَ الحِثِّيِّ، الَّذِي يَقَعُ شَرْقِيَّ مَمْرا.

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

10 و َهُوَ الكَهْفُ الَّذِي اشْتَراهُ إبْراهِيمُ مِنَ الحِثِّيِّينَ. وَدُفِنَ هُناكَ إبْراهِيمُ وَامْرَأتُهُ سارَةُ.

the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.

11 و َبَعْدَ مَوْتِ إبْراهِيمَ، بارَكَ اللهُ ابْنَهُ إسْحاقَ. وَاسْتَقَرَّ إسْحاقُ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ لَحَي رُئِي.

After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

12 ه َذِهِ أسْماءُ أبناءِ إسْماعِيلَ الَّذِي أنْجَبَهُ إبْراهِيمُ مِنَ الجارِيَةِ المِصْرِيَّةِ هاجَرَ.

Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.

13 ه َذِهِ أسْماءُ أولادِ إسْماعِيلَ حَسَبَ تَسَلْسُلِ وِلادَتِهِمْ: نَبايُوتُ، وَهُوَ بِكْرُ إسْماعِيلَ، وَقِيدارُ وَأدَبْئِيلُ وَمِبْسامُ،

These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 و َمِشْماعُ وَدُومَةُ وَمَسّا

Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

15 و َحَدارُ وَتَيماء وَيَطُورُ وَنافِيشُ وَقِدْمَةُ.

Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16 ه َؤُلاءِ هُمْ أولادُ إسْماعِيلَ. وَهَذِهِ أسْماؤُهُمُ الَّتِي سُمِّيَتْ عَلَيها قُراهُمْ وَمُخَيَّماتُهُمْ. وَكانُوا اثْنَي عَشَرَ شَيخَ عَشِيرَةٍ.

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.

17 و َعاشَ إسْماعِيلُ مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً. وَلَفَظَ أنفاسَهُ الأخِيرَةَ وَماتَ. وَضُمَّ إلَى جَماعَتِهِ.

These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.

18 و َنَصَبُوا خِيامَهُمْ مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ إلَى سُورِ مِصْرَ، امْتِداداً إلَى أشُّورَ فِي مُواجَهَةِ إخْوَتِهِمْ. عائلةُ إسْحاق

They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

19 و َهَذِهِ هِيَ قِصَّةُ عائِلَةِ إسْحَاقَ بْنِ إبْراهِيمَ. وَلَدَ إبْراهِيمُ إسْحَاقَ.

This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

20 و َكانَ إسحَاقُ فِي الأرْبَعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ تَزَوَّجَ رِفْقَةَ بِنتَ بَتُوئِيلَ الأرامِيِّ، الّذِي مِنْ فَدَّانَ أرامَ، وَهِيَ أُخْتُ لابانَ.

Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

21 و َصَلَّى إسْحَاقُ إلَى اللهِ لأجلِ زَوْجَتِهِ لأنَّها كانَتْ عاقِراً. وَاسْتَجابَ لَهُ اللهُ ، فَحَبِلَتْ رِفْقَةُ زَوْجَتُهُ.

Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 و َتَرافَسَ الوَلَدانِ داخِلَها. فَقالَتْ رِفْقَةُ: «إنْ كانَ الأمْرُ هَكَذا، فَلِماذا أنا حُبلَى؟» فَذَهَبَتْ لِتَسألَ اللهَ عَمّا يَحدُثُ.

The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is so, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh.

23 ف َقالَ لَها اللهُ: «فِي داخِلِكِ أُمَّتانِ، وَمِنْ بَطْنِكِ يَنْقَسِمُ شَعْبانِ. وَيَكُونُ أحَدُهُما أقْوَى مِنَ الآخَرِ، وَأكْبَرُهُما سَيَخْدِمُ أصْغَرَهُما.»

Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”

24 و َلَمّا حانَ وَقْتُ الوِلادَةِ، أنجَبَتْ تَوْأميْنِ.

When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 ك انَ الأوَّلُ أحمَرَ البَشَرَةِ، وَجِلْدُهُ أشْبَهُ بِرِداءٍ كَثِيفٍ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ. فَسُمِّيَ عِيسُو.

The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

26 ث ُمَّ خَرَجَ أخُوهُ وَيَدُهُ مُمْسِكَةٌ بِعَقِبِ عِيسُو، فَسُمِّيَ يَعْقُوبُ. وَكانَ إسْحاقُ فِي السِّتِّينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَما وُلِدا.

After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 و َكَبِرَ الوَلَدانِ. وَصارَ عِيسُو صَيّاداً ماهِراً مُحِبّاً لِلبَقاءِ فِي الخَلاءِ. أمّا يَعْقُوبُ فَكانَ رَجُلاً هادِئاً يَلْزَمُ المُخَيَّمَ.

The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

28 و َكانَ إسْحاقُ يُفَضِّلُ عِيسُو، لِأنَّهُ يُحِبُّ ما يَصْطادُهُ لَهُ. أمّا رِفْقَةُ فَكانَتْ تُفَضِّلُ يَعقُوبَ.

Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 و َذاتَ يَوْمٍ، كانَ يَعقُوبُ يَطبُخُ حَساءً. فَجاءَ عِيسُو مِنَ الحَقلِ، وَكانَ قَدْ أعْياهُ الجُوعُ.

Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

30 ف َقالَ عِيسُو لِيَعْقُوبَ: «أطْعِمْنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ الحَساءِ الأحْمَرِ، فَأنا جائِعٌ جِدّاً.» وَلِهَذا صارَ عِيسُو يُدْعَى أيضاً أدُومَ.

Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «بِعْنِي أوَّلاً حُقُوقَكَ كابنٍ بِكْرٍ.»

Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”

32 ف َقالَ عِيسُو: «ها أنا أمُوتُ مِنَ الجُوعِ، فَما نَفْعُ حُقُوقِي كَبِكْرٍ؟»

Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”

33 ف َقالَ يَعقُوبُ: «احلِفْ بِذَلِكَ أوَّلاً!» فَحَلَفَ لَهُ عِيسُو، وَباعَ حُقُوقَ بُكُورِيَّتِهِ لِيَعْقُوبَ.

Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 و َأعطَى يَعْقُوبُ عِيسُو خُبْزاً وَعَدَساً مَطْبُوخاً فَأكَلَ عِيسُو وَشَرِبَ وَقامَ وَمَضَى مُسْتَهيناً بِحُقُوقِهِ كابنٍ بِكْرٍ.

Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
