Genesis 25

1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Ceturam:

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

2 quæ peperit ei Zamran et Iecsan, et Madam, et Madian, et Iesboc, et Sue.

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

3 Iecsan quoque genuit Saba, et Dadan. Filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim, et Latusim, et Loomin.

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

4 At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha, et Opher, et Henoch, et Abida, et Eldaa: omnes hi filii Ceturæ.

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

5 Deditque Abraham cuncta quæ possederat, Isaac:

And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

6 filiis autem concubinarum largitus est munera, et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem.

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

7 Fuerunt autem dies vitæ Abrahæ, centum septuaginta quinque anni.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred and seventy and five years.

8 Et deficiens mortuus est in senectute bona, provectæque ætatis, et plenus dierum: congregatusque est ad populum suum.

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

9 Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismael filii sui in spelunca duplici, quæ sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hethæi, e regione Mambre,

And 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 before Mamre;

10 quem emerat a filiis Heth: ibi sepultus est ipse, et Sara uxor eius.

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio eius, qui habitabat iuxta puteum nomine Viventis et videntis.

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

12 Hæ sunt generationes Ismael filii Abrahæ, quem peperit ei Agar Ægyptia, famula Saræ: et

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham:

13 hæc nomina filiorum eius in vocabulis et generationibus suis. Primogenitus Ismaelis Nabaioth, deinde Cedar, et Adbeel, et Mabsam,

And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 Masma quoque, et Duma, et Massa,

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 Hadar, et Thema, et Iethur, et Naphis, et Cedma.

Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 Isti sunt filii Ismaelis: et hæc nomina per castella et oppida eorum, duodecim principes tribuum suarum.

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.

17 Et facti sunt anni vitæ Ismaelis centum triginta septem, deficiensque mortuus est, et appositus ad populum suum.

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered to his people.

18 Habitavit autem ab Hevila usque Sur, quæ respicit Ægyptum introeuntibus Assyrios. Coram cunctis fratribus suis obiit.

And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.

19 Hæ quoque sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac:

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:

20 qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban.

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah for a wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccæ.

And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 Sed collidebantur in utero eius parvuli; quæ ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? Perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

23 Qui respondens, ait: Duæ gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur, populusque populum superabit, et maior serviet minori.

And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be born of thee; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

24 Iam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero eius reperti sunt.

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

25 Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus: vocatumque est nomen eius Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu: et idcirco appellavit eum Iacob.

And the first was born red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.

And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Iacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis.

And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Iacob.

And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Coxit autem Iacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,

And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

30 ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen eius Edom.

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

31 Cui dixit Iacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.

And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birthright.

32 Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita?

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright bring to me?

33 Ait Iacob: Iura ergo mihi. Iuravit ei Esau, et vendidit primogenita.

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Et sic accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit, et bibit, et abiit; parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
