Genesis 25
1 [Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
Und Abraham nahm wieder ein Weib, die hieß Ketura.
2 She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Die gebar ihm den Simran und den Jokschan, den Medan und den Midian, den Jischbak und den Schuach.
3 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.
Jokschan aber zeugte den Scheba und den Dedan. Die Kinder aber von Dedan waren die Assuriter, Letusiter und Leumiter
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
und die Kinder Midians waren Epha, Epher, Hanoch, Abida und Eldaa. Diese alle sind Kinder der Ketura.
5 Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
Und Abraham gab sein ganzes Gut dem Isaak.
6 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.
Aber den Kindern, die er von den Kebsweibern hatte, gab er Geschenke und schickte sie von seinem Sohne Isaak hinweg gegen Aufgang in das Morgenland, während er noch lebte.
7 Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
Dies ist aber die Zahl der Lebensjahre Abrahams: hundertfünfundsiebzig Jahre.
8 He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
Und Abraham nahm ab und starb in gutem Alter, da er alt und lebenssatt war, und ward zu seinem Volk gesammelt.
9 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.
Und seine Söhne Isaak und Ismael begruben ihn in der Höhle Machpelah auf dem Acker des Ephron, des Sohnes Zoars, des Hetiters, Mamre gegenüber,
10 Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
im Acker, welchen Abraham von den Hetitern gekauft hat. Daselbst sind Abraham und sein Weib Sarah begraben.
11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
Und nach dem Tode Abrahams segnete Gott seinen Sohn Isaak. Und Isaak wohnte bei dem «Brunnen des Lebendigen, der mich sieht».
12 (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.
Dies ist das Geschlecht Ismaels, des Sohnes Abrahams, den ihm Hagar, der Sarah ägyptische Magd, gebar.
13 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,
Und dieses sind die Namen der Kinder Ismaels, davon ihre Geschlechter genannt sind: Der erstgeborne Sohn Ismaels, Nebajoth, dann Kedar, Abdeel, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Misma, Duma, Massa,
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tema, Jethur, Naphis und Kedma.
16 The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
Das sind die Kinder Ismaels mit ihren Namen, in ihren Höfen und Zeltlagern, zwölf Fürsten in ihren Geschlechtern.
17 Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
Und Ismael ward hundertsiebenunddreißig Jahre alt, und er nahm ab und starb und ward zu seinem Volk gesammelt.
18 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).
Sie wohnten aber von Chavila an bis gen Schur, das vor Ägypten liegt; und bis man nach Assyrien kommt; gegenüber von allen seinen Brüdern ließ er sich nieder.
19 (This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Dies ist die Geschichte Isaaks, des Sohnes Abrahams. Abraham zeugte Isaak.
20 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.
Isaak aber war vierzig Jahre alt, da er die Tochter Bethuels, des Syrers von Mesopotamien, die Schwester des Syrers Laban, zum Weibe nahm.
21 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.
Isaak aber bat den HERRN für sein Weib, denn sie war unfruchtbar; und der HERR ließ sich von ihm erbitten, und sein Weib Rebekka ward guter Hoffnung.
22 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.
Und die Kinder stießen sich in ihrem Schoß. Da sprach sie: Wenn es so gehen soll, warum bin ich denn in diesen Zustand gekommen? Und sie ging hin, den HERRN zu fragen.
23 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]
Und der HERR sprach zu ihr: Zwei Völker sind in deinem Schoß, und zwei Stämme werden sich aus deinen Eingeweiden scheiden, und ein Volk wird dem andern überlegen sein, und der Ältere wird dem Jüngeren dienen.
24 When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
Da nun die Zeit kam, daß sie gebären sollte, siehe, da waren Zwillinge in ihrem Leibe.
25 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'].
Der erste, der herauskam, war rothaarig, ganz wie ein härenes Kleid, und sie nannte ihn Esau.
26 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.
Darnach kam sein Bruder heraus, und seine Hand hielt die Ferse Esaus; da nannte sie ihn Jakob. Und Isaak war sechzig Jahre alt, da sie geboren wurden.
27 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.
Und als die Knaben groß wurden, ward Esau ein Waidmann, der sich auf die Jagd verstand; Jakob aber war ein sittsamer Mann, der bei den Zelten blieb.
28 Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
Und Isaak hatte Esau lieb, weil ihm das Wildbret mundete; Rebekka aber hatte Jakob lieb.
29 One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
Und Jakob kochte ein Gericht. Da kam Esau vom Feld und war müde.
30 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]’.]
Und Esau sprach zu Jakob: Laß mich das rote Gericht versuchen, denn ich bin müde! Daher heißt er Edom.
31 Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
Aber Jakob sprach: Verkaufe mir heute deine Erstgeburt!
32 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]
Und Esau sprach zu Jakob: Siehe, ich muß doch sterben; was soll mir die Erstgeburt?
33 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.
Jakob sprach: So schwöre mir heute! Und er schwur ihm und verkaufte also dem Jakob seine Erstgeburt.
34 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.
Da gab Jakob dem Esau Brot und das Linsengericht. Und er aß und trank und stand auf und ging davon. Also verachtete Esau die Erstgeburt.
