1 ¶ Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

وَتَزَوَّجَ إبْراهِيمُ امْرأةً أُخْرَى اسْمُها قَطُورَةَ.

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

وَأنْجَبَتْ زِمْرانَ وَيَقْشانَ وَمَدانَ وَمِدْيانَ وَيِشْباقَ وَشُوحَ.

3 A nd Jokshan begat Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

وَأنجَبَ يَقْشانُ شَبا وَدَدانَ. وَنَسلُ دَدانَ هُمْ شَعبُ أشُّورِيمَ وَلَطُوشِيمَ وَلأُمِّيمَ.

4 A nd the sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Enoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.

أمّا أولادُ مِدْيانَ فَهُمْ عَيفَةُ وَعِفْرُ وَحَنُوكُ وَأبِيداعُ وَألْدَعَةُ. كانَ هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً أبْناءَ قَطُورَةَ.

5 A nd Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

وَمَلَّكَ إبْراهِيمُ إسْحاقَ كُلَّ ما كانَ لَهُ.

6 B ut unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

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

7 A nd these were the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, one hundred seventy-five years.

وَعاشَ إبْراهِيمُ مِئَةً وَخَمْساً وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.

8 T hen Abraham expired and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

وَأسلَمَ رُوحَهُ فِي سِنِّ الشَّيخُوخَةِ، بَعْدَ حَياةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ مُرْضِيَةٍ، وَضُمَّ إلَى جَماعَتِهِ.

9 A nd his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is in front of Mamre;

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

10 t he field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

وَهُوَ الكَهْفُ الَّذِي اشْتَراهُ إبْراهِيمُ مِنَ الحِثِّيِّينَ. وَدُفِنَ هُناكَ إبْراهِيمُ وَامْرَأتُهُ سارَةُ.

11 ¶ And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.

وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِ إبْراهِيمَ، بارَكَ اللهُ ابْنَهُ إسْحاقَ. وَاسْتَقَرَّ إسْحاقُ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ لَحَي رُئِي.

12 N ow these are the generations of Ishmael, son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, gave birth unto Abraham:

هَذِهِ أسْماءُ أبناءِ إسْماعِيلَ الَّذِي أنْجَبَهُ إبْراهِيمُ مِنَ الجارِيَةِ المِصْرِيَّةِ هاجَرَ.

13 A nd these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their lineages: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth, and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

هَذِهِ أسْماءُ أولادِ إسْماعِيلَ حَسَبَ تَسَلْسُلِ وِلادَتِهِمْ: نَبايُوتُ، وَهُوَ بِكْرُ إسْماعِيلَ، وَقِيدارُ وَأدَبْئِيلُ وَمِبْسامُ،

14 M ishma, Dumah, Massa,

وَمِشْماعُ وَدُومَةُ وَمَسّا

15 H adar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

وَحَدارُ وَتَيماء وَيَطُورُ وَنافِيشُ وَقِدْمَةُ.

16 T hese are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns and by their palaces; twelve princes according to their families.

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

17 A nd these are the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred thirty-seven years; and Ishmael expired and died and was gathered unto his people.

وَعاشَ إسْماعِيلُ مِئَةً وَسَبْعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً. وَلَفَظَ أنفاسَهُ الأخِيرَةَ وَماتَ. وَضُمَّ إلَى جَماعَتِهِ.

18 A nd they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria; and he fell in the presence of all his brethren.

وَنَصَبُوا خِيامَهُمْ مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ إلَى سُورِ مِصْرَ، امْتِداداً إلَى أشُّورَ فِي مُواجَهَةِ إخْوَتِهِمْ. عائلةُ إسْحاق

19 ¶ And these are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac;

وَهَذِهِ هِيَ قِصَّةُ عائِلَةِ إسْحَاقَ بْنِ إبْراهِيمَ. وَلَدَ إبْراهِيمُ إسْحَاقَ.

20 a nd Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel, the Aramean of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Aramean.

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

21 A nd Isaac prayed unto the LORD for his wife because she was barren; and the LORD accepted him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

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

22 A nd the sons struggled together within her; and she said, If this is so, why should I live? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

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

23 A nd the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

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

24 A nd when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

وَلَمّا حانَ وَقْتُ الوِلادَةِ، أنجَبَتْ تَوْأميْنِ.

25 A nd the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

كانَ الأوَّلُ أحمَرَ البَشَرَةِ، وَجِلْدُهُ أشْبَهُ بِرِداءٍ كَثِيفٍ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ. فَسُمِّيَ عِيسُو.

26 A nd afterwards his brother came out with Esau’s heel grasped in his hand; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

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

27 A nd the boys grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was an upright man, remaining in the tents.

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

28 A nd Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

وَكانَ إسْحاقُ يُفَضِّلُ عِيسُو، لِأنَّهُ يُحِبُّ ما يَصْطادُهُ لَهُ. أمّا رِفْقَةُ فَكانَتْ تُفَضِّلُ يَعقُوبَ.

29 ¶ And Jacob boiled pottage; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint;

وَذاتَ يَوْمٍ، كانَ يَعقُوبُ يَطبُخُ حَساءً. فَجاءَ عِيسُو مِنَ الحَقلِ، وَكانَ قَدْ أعْياهُ الجُوعُ.

30 a nd Esau said to Jacob, Give me to eat, I pray thee, of that red pottage; for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.

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

31 A nd Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

فَقالَ لَهُ يَعْقُوبُ: «بِعْنِي أوَّلاً حُقُوقَكَ كابنٍ بِكْرٍ.»

32 A nd Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die; and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

فَقالَ عِيسُو: «ها أنا أمُوتُ مِنَ الجُوعِ، فَما نَفْعُ حُقُوقِي كَبِكْرٍ؟»

33 A nd Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

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

34 T hen Jacob gave Esau of the bread and of the pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up, and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

وَأعطَى يَعْقُوبُ عِيسُو خُبْزاً وَعَدَساً مَطْبُوخاً فَأكَلَ عِيسُو وَشَرِبَ وَقامَ وَمَضَى مُسْتَهيناً بِحُقُوقِهِ كابنٍ بِكْرٍ.
