Genesis 25
1 [Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
ED Abrahamo prese un'altra moglie, il cui nome era Chetura.
2 She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Ed ella gli partorì Zimran, e Iocsan, e Medan, e Madian, e Isbac, e Sua.
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.
E Iocsan generò Seba e Dedan. Ed i figliuoli di Dedan furono Assurim, e Letusim, e Leummim.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
Ed i figliuoli di Madian [furono] Efa, ed Efer ed Hanoc, ed Abida, ed Eldaa. Tutti questi [furono] figliuoli di Chetura.
5 Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
Ed Abrahamo donò tutto il suo avere ad Isacco.
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.
Ed a' figliuoli delle sue concubine diede doni; e mentre era in vita, li mandò via d'appresso al suo figliuolo Isacco, verso il Levante, nel paese Orientale.
7 Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
Or il tempo della vita di Abrahamo [fu] di centosettantacinque anni.
8 He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
Poi trapassò, e morì in buona vecchiezza, attempato, e sazio [di vita]: e fu raccolto a' suoi popoli.
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.
E Isacco ed Ismaele, suoi figliuoli, lo seppellirono nella spelonca di Macpela nel campo di Efron, figliuoli di Sohar Hitteo, ch'[è] dirimpetto a Mamre;
10 Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
[ch'è] il campo che Abrahamo avea comperato da' figliuoli di Het; quivi fu seppellito Abrahamo, e Sara, sua moglie.
11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
Ora, dopo che Abrahamo fu morto, Iddio benedisse Isacco, suo figliuolo; e Isacco abitò presso del Pozzo del Vivente che mi vede.
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.
OR queste [sono] le generazioni d'Ismaele, figliuolo di Abrahamo, il quale Agar Egizia, serva di Sara, avea partorito ad Abrahamo.
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,
E questi [sono] i nomi de' figliuoli d'Ismaele secondo i lor nomi nelle lor generazioni: Il primogenito d'Ismaele [fu] Nebaiot; poi [v'era] Chedar, ed Adbeel, e Mibsam;
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
e Misma, e Duma, e Massa;
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
ed Hadar, e Tema, e Ietur, e Nafis, e Chedma.
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.
Questi furono i figliuoli d'Ismaele, e questi [sono] i lor nomi, nelle lor villate, e nelle lor castella; [e furono] dodici principi fra' lor popoli.
17 Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
E gli anni della vita d'Ismaele [furono] centrentasette; poi trapassò, e morì, e fu raccolto a' suoi popoli.
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).
Ed i suoi figliuoli abitarono da Havila fin a Sur, ch'[è] dirimpetto all'Egitto, traendo verso l'Assiria. [Il paese di esso] gli scadde dirimpetto a tutti i suoi fratelli.
19 (This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
E QUESTE [sono] le generazioni d'Isacco, figliuolo di Abrahamo:
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.
Abrahamo generò Isacco. Ed Isacco era d'età di quarant'anni, quando prese per moglie Rebecca, figliuola di Betuel, Sirio, da Paddanaram, e sorella di Labano, Sirio.
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.
E Isacco fece orazione al Signore per la sua moglie; perciocchè ella [era] sterile: e il Signore l'esaudì; e Rebecca sua moglie concepette.
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.
Ed i figliuoli si urtavano l'un l'altro nel suo seno. Ed ella disse: Se così [è], perchè [sono] io in vita? E andò a domandar[ne] il Signore.
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]
E il Signore le disse: Due nazioni [sono] nel tuo seno; e due popoli diversi usciranno delle tue interiora; e l'un popolo sarà più possente dell'altro, e il maggiore servirà al minore.
24 When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
E quando fu compiuto il termine di essa da partorire, ecco, due gemelli [erano] nel suo seno.
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'].
E il primo uscì fuori, ed [era] rosso, tutto [peloso] come un mantel velluto; e gli fu posto nome Esaù.
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.
Appresso uscì il suo fratello, il quale con la mano teneva il calcagno di Esaù; e gli fu posto nome Giacobbe. Or Isacco [era] d'età di settant'anni, quando ella li partorì.
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.
ED i fanciulli crebbero; ed Esaù [fu] uomo intendente della caccia, uomo di campagna; ma Giacobbe [fu] uomo semplice, che se ne stava ne' padiglioni.
28 Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
E Isacco amava Esaù; perciocchè le selvaggine [erano] di suo gusto; e Rebecca amava Giacobbe.
29 One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
Ora, concendo Giacobbe una minestra, Esaù giunse da' campi, ed era stanco.
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]’.]
Ed Esaù disse a Giacobbe: Deh! dammi a mangiare un po' di cotesta [minestra] rossa; perciocchè io [sono] stanco; perciò egli fu nominato 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).”
E Giacobbe [gli] disse: Vendimi oggi la tua primogenitura.
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]
Ed Esaù disse: Ecco, io me ne vo alla morte, che mi [gioverà] la primogenitura?
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.
E Giacobbe disse: Giurami oggi [che tu me la vendi]. Ed Esaù gliel giurò; e vendette la sua primogenitura a Giacobbe.
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.
E Giacobbe diede ad Esaù del pane, ed una minestra di lenticchie. Ed egli mangiò e bevve; poi si levò e se ne andò. Così Esaù sprezzò la primogenitura.
