Genesis 25

Abraham’s Family
25 Abraham married again, and his new wife was Keturah [1 Chr. 1:32]. 2 She gave birth to Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian [C ancestor of the Midianites, the tribe into which Moses married; Ex. 3:1], Ishbak, and Shuah [C ancestor of the tribe of Job’s friend Bildad; Job 2:11]. 3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan [Is. 21:13; Jer. 49:8; Ezek. 27:20]. Dedan’s descendants were the people of Assyria, Letush, and Leum. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah. 5 Abraham ·left [gave] everything he owned to Isaac. 6 But ·before Abraham died [L while he was still alive], he did give gifts to the sons of his ·other wives [concubines], then sent them to the East to be away from Isaac [C to prevent rivalry over Abraham’s inheritance].
7 ·Abraham lived to be [L These are the days of the years of the life of Abraham] one hundred seventy-five years old. 8 He ·breathed his last breath [expired] and died at an old age, ·after a long and satisfying life [L an old man and full of years; he was gathered to his people/relatives; C buried in the family plot, though may imply joining his ancestors in the afterlife]. 9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah in the field of Ephron east of Mamre. (Ephron was the son of Zohar the Hittite.) 10 So Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah in the same field that he had bought from the Hittites [23:1–20]. 11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac was now living at Beer Lahai Roi [16:14].
12 ·This is the family history [L These are the generations; 2:4] of Ishmael, Abraham’s son. (Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian servant, ·was Ishmael’s mother [L bore him to Abraham].) 13 These are the names of Ishmael’s sons in the order they were born: Nebaioth, the ·first son [firstborn], then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These were Ishmael’s sons, and these are the names of the ·tribal leaders [L twelve princes/chieftains according to their tribes; 17:20] listed according to their ·settlements [villages] and camps. 17 ·Ishmael lived [L These are the years of the life of Ishmael] one hundred thirty-seven years and then ·breathed his last breath [expired] and died [L and was gathered to his people/relatives; 25:8]. 18 His descendants lived from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt stretching toward Assyria [C the area from the northern Sinai to the border of western Mesopotamia, the area of Arab tribes]. They often ·attacked [or settled among; L fell on] the descendants of his brothers.
Isaac’s Family
19 ·This is the family history [L These are the generations; 2:4] of Isaac. Abraham ·had a son named [or was the father of] Isaac. 20 When Isaac was forty years old, he ·married [L took as a wife] Rebekah [ch. 24], ·who came from northwestern Mesopotamia [L the Aramean from Paddan-aram]. She was Bethuel’s daughter and the sister of Laban the Aramean. 21 Isaac’s wife ·could not have children [was barren], so Isaac ·prayed to [entreated; interceded with] the Lord for her. The Lord heard Isaac’s prayer, and Rebekah ·became pregnant [conceived].
22 While she was pregnant, the ·babies [L children] struggled inside her. She asked, “·Why is this happening to me [L If thus, why this, I—; C the Hebrew is uncertain]?” Then she went to ·get an answer from [L seek; inquire of] the Lord.
23 The Lord said to her,
“Two nations are in your ·body [L womb],
and two groups of people ·will be taken from you [L are being divided within your body].
One group will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger [Rom. 9:10–13].”
24 When the time came, ·Rebekah gave birth to twins [L there were twins in her womb]. 25 The first baby ·was born [L came out] red. Since his skin was like a hairy robe, he was named Esau [C sounds like “hairy” in Hebrew]. 26 When ·the second baby [L his brother] ·was born [L came out], ·he [L his hand] was ·holding on to [gripping; grabbing] Esau’s heel, so that baby was named Jacob [C sounds like Hebrew for “heel”; grabbing a heel is a Hebrew idiom for tricking someone]. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a ·skilled [experienced] hunter. He ·loved to be out in the fields [L was a man of the fields]. But Jacob was a ·quiet [or mild; or blameless] man ·and stayed among the [L living in] tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because ·he hunted the wild animals that Isaac enjoyed eating [L game was in his (Isaac’s) mouth]. But Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 One day Jacob was ·boiling a pot of vegetable soup [or preparing stew]. Esau came in from hunting in the fields, ·weak from hunger [famished; starving]. 30 So Esau said to Jacob, “Let me ·eat [gulp down] some of that red ·soup [or stuff], because I am ·weak with hunger [famished; starving].” (That is why people call him Edom [C sounds like Hebrew for “red”].)
31 But Jacob said, “·First [L As the day; C an idiom meaning, “First of all…”] ·sell [or exchange with] me your ·rights as the firstborn son [birthright; C the firstborn had special inheritance rights and became the head of the family in the next generation].”
32 Esau said, “I am ·almost dead from hunger [L going to die]. ·If I die, all of my father’s wealth will not help me [L What will my birthright be to me?].”
33 But Jacob said, “First [v. 31], ·promise [swear to] me that you will give it to me.” So Esau ·made a promise to Jacob [L swore to him] and ·sold [exchanged] his ·part of their father’s wealth [L birthright] to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and ·vegetable soup [stew], and he ate and drank, and then left. So Esau ·showed how little he cared about his rights as the firstborn son [L despised/showed contempt toward his birthright; Heb. 12:16–17].
Genesis 25
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Iba pang mga Lahi ni Abraham(A)
25 Nag-asawa ulit si Abraham, at ang pangalan ng asawa niya ay Ketura. 2 Ang mga anak nila ay sina Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak at Shua. 3 Si Jokshan ang ama nina Sheba at Dedan. Ang mga lahi ni Dedan ay ang mga Asureo, Letuseo, at Leumeo. 4 Ang mga anak na lalaki ni Midian ay sina Efa, Efer, Hanoc, Abida at Eldaa. Silang lahat ang mga lahi ni Ketura.
5-6 Bago namatay si Abraham, iniwan niya ang lahat ng ari-arian niya kay Isaac. Pero binigyan niya ng mga regalo ang iba niyang mga anak sa iba niyang mga asawa, at pinapunta sa silangan para ihiwalay sa anak niyang si Isaac.
Ang Pagkamatay at Paglilibing kay Abraham
7 Nabuhay si Abraham ng 175 taon. 8 Namatay siya sa katandaan na kontento sa buhay at kasama na ng kanyang mga kamag-anak na sumakabilang buhay na. 9 Inilibing siya ng mga anak niyang sina Isaac at Ishmael doon sa kweba sa Macpela, sa silangan ng Mamre, sa bukid na dating pagmamay-ari ni Efron na anak ni Zohar na Heteo. 10 Ang bukid na iyon ay binili ni Abraham sa harapan ng mga Heteo. Doon inilibing si Abraham at ang asawa niyang si Sara. 11 Pagkatapos mamatay ni Abraham, binasbasan ng Dios si Isaac at doon siya nanirahan sa Beer Lahai Roi.
Ang mga Angkan ni Ishmael(B)
12 Ito ang salaysay tungkol sa pamilya ni Ishmael na anak ni Abraham kay Hagar na Egipcio, na alipin ni Sara.
13 Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Ishmael mula sa pinakamatanda: Nebayot, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Duma, Masa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafis at Kedema. 16 Sila ang mga anak ni Ishmael at naging pinuno ng 12 niyang angkan. Ang mga pangalan nila ay ang ipinangalan sa ibaʼt ibang lugar na kanilang tinitirhan.
17 Nabuhay si Ishmael ng 137 taon. Namatay siya at kasama na ng kanyang mga kamag-anak na sumakabilang buhay na. 18 Tumira ang mga angkan niya sa mga lugar na galing sa Havila hanggang sa Shur, sa silangan ng Egipto na papunta sa Asiria. Kinalaban nila ang lahat ng kamag-anak nila na mga lahi ni Isaac.
Ipinanganak sina Esau at Jacob
19 Ito ang salaysay tungkol sa pamilya ni Isaac na anak ni Abraham.
20 Si Isaac ay 40 taong gulang nang napangasawa niya si Rebeka na anak ni Betuel na Arameo na taga-Padan Aram.[a] Si Rebeka ay kapatid ni Laban na Arameo rin.
21 Dahil baog si Rebeka, nanalangin si Isaac sa Panginoon na magkaanak ito. Tinugon ng Panginoon ang dalangin niya, kaya nagbuntis si Rebeka. 22 Naramdaman niya na nagtutulakan ang kambal na sanggol sa loob ng kanyang tiyan. Sinabi ni Rebeka, “Kung ganyan lang ang mangyayari sa kanila pagdating ng panahon mabuti pang mamatay na lang ako.” Kaya nagtanong siya sa Panginoon tungkol dito. Sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon,
23 “Manggagaling sa dalawang sanggol na nasa tiyan mo ang dalawang bansa;
dalawang grupo ng mga tao na maglalaban-laban.
Ang isaʼy magiging makapangyarihan kaysa sa isa.
Ang nakatatanda ay maglilingkod sa nakababata niyang kapatid.”
24 Nang nanganak na si Rebeka, kambal ang anak niya. 25 Ang unang lumabas ay mapula-pula at balbon, kaya pinangalanan nila siyang Esau.[b] 26 Nang lumabas ang ikalawa, ang kamay niya ay nakahawak sa sakong ng kanyang kapatid, kaya pinangalanan nila siyang Jacob.[c] Si Isaac ay 60 taong gulang nang manganak si Rebeka ng kambal.
Ibinenta ni Esau ang Kanyang Karapatan bilang Panganay
27 Nang lumaki na ang dalawang sanggol, naging maliksing mangangaso si Esau at palagi lang siya sa bukid habang si Jacob naman ay tahimik na tao at palaging nasa loob ng mga tolda. 28 Mas nagustuhan ni Isaac si Esau dahil mahilig siyang kumain ng mga ipinangaso ni Esau, pero si Jacob naman ay mas nagustuhan ni Rebeka.
29 Isang araw, habang nagluluto si Jacob ng sabaw, dumating si Esau galing sa pangangaso na gutom na gutom. 30 Sinabi niya kay Jacob, “Pakiusap, bigyan mo nga ako ng niluluto mong mapula-pulang sabaw dahil gutom na gutom na ako.” (Kaya tinatawag din si Esau na Edom.)[d]
31 Pero sumagot si Jacob, “Bibigyan kita nito kung ibibigay mo sa akin ang karapatan mo bilang panganay.” 32 Sinabi ni Esau, “Sige, ano bang gagawin ko sa karapatan na iyan kung mamamatay din lang ako sa gutom.” 33 Sumagot si Jacob, “Kung ganoon, sumumpa ka muna sa akin,” Kaya sumumpa si Esau na mapupunta kay Jacob ang karapatan niya bilang panganay.
34 Binigyan agad siya ni Jacob ng tinapay at sabaw. Pagkatapos niyang kumain at uminom, umalis siya agad. Dahil sa ginawang iyon ni Esau, binalewala niya ang karapatan niya bilang panganay.
Genesis 25
King James Version
25 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 But 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.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 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 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 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 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 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 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 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 unto his people.
18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 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 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
