Genesis 25
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Mga Iba pang Lahi ni Abraham(A)
25 Muling nag-asawa si Abraham at ang pangalan ng babae ay Ketura. 2 Ang mga anak niya rito ay sina Zimran, Jocsan, Medan, Midian, Isbak at Suah. 3 Si Jocsan ang ama nina Seba at Dedan. Kay Dedan nagmula ang mga Asurim, Letusim at Leumim. 4 Ang mga anak naman ni Midian ay sina Efa, Efer, Enoc, Abida at Eldaa. Lahat sila'y buhat kay Ketura.
5 Kay Isaac ipinamana ni Abraham ang lahat niyang ari-arian. 6 Ngunit bago siya namatay, pinagbibigyan na niya ng regalo ang mga anak niya sa ibang asawa, at pinapunta sa lupain sa dakong silangan para mapalayo kay Isaac.
Namatay si Abraham
7 Si Abraham ay nabuhay nang 175 taon. 8 Matandang-matanda na siya nang mamatay. 9 At inilibing siya nina Isaac at Ismael sa yungib ng Macpela sa silangan ng Mamre, sa parang na dating kay Efron, anak ni Zohar na Heteo. 10 Ang(B) lugar na iyon ang binili ni Abraham sa mga Heteo at doon sila nalibing ni Sara. 11 Pagkamatay ni Abraham, pinagpala ng Diyos si Isaac. Doon siya tumira sa Beer-lahai-roi.
Ang Lahi ni Ismael(C)
12 Ito naman ang lahi ni Ismael na anak ni Abraham kay Hagar, ang taga-Egiptong alipin ni Sara. 13 Si Nebayot ang panganay, sumunod sina Kedar, Abdeel at Mibsam. 14 Sumunod sina Misma, Duma at Massa; 15 pagkatapos ay sina Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafis at Kedema. 16 Sila ang labindalawang anak ni Ismael na naging pinuno ng kani-kanilang lipi. Isinunod sa kanilang mga pangalan ang mga bayan at pinagkampuhan ng kani-kanilang mga lipi. 17 Namatay si Ismael sa gulang na 137 taon, at siya'y inilibing. 18 Ang lahi ni Ismael ay tumira sa lupain sa pagitan ng Havila at Shur, sa daang patungo sa Asiria sa silangan ng Egipto. Nakabukod sila sa ibang mga lipi ni Abraham.
Ipinanganak sina Esau at Jacob
19 Ito naman ang kasaysayan ni Isaac na anak ni Abraham. 20 Apatnapung taon na si Isaac nang mapangasawa niya si Rebeca, anak na dalaga ni Bethuel, isang Arameong taga-Mesopotamia. Si Rebeca'y kapatid ni Laban, isa ring Arameo. 21 Hindi magkaanak si Rebeca, kaya't nanalangin kay Yahweh si Isaac. Dininig naman siya at si Rebeca'y naglihi. 22 Kambal ang kanyang dinadala at nasa tiyan pa'y nagtutulakan na ang dalawa. Kaya't nasabi ng ina, “Kung ngayon pa'y ganito na ang nangyayari sa akin, bakit pa ako mabubuhay?” Kaya't siya'y nagtanong kay Yahweh. 23 Ganito(D) naman ang sagot ni Yahweh:
“Dalawang sanggol ang dala mo sa loob ng iyong tiyan,
larawan ng dalawang bansa na magiging magkalaban;
magiging higit na malakas ang mas bata kaysa sa nauna,
kaya maglilingkod ang mas matanda sa bata niyang kapatid.”
24 Dumating ang panahon at nanganak nga siya ng kambal. 25 Mamula-mula ang kutis at mabalahibo ang katawan ng panganay, kaya't Esau[a] ang ipinangalan dito. 26 Nang lumabas ang pangalawa, nakahawak ito sa sakong ng kanyang kakambal, kaya Jacob[b] naman ang itinawag sa kanya. Animnapung taon si Isaac noon.
Ipinagbili ni Esau ang Kanyang Karapatan
27 Lumaki ang mga bata. Naging mahusay na mangangaso si Esau at sa kaparangan na halos tumitira. Si Jacob naman ay tahimik at lagi sa bahay. 28 Higit ang pagtingin ni Isaac kay Esau, palibhasa'y kinawiwilihan niyang kainin ang mga nahuhuli nito sa pangangaso, samantalang si Jacob naman ang mas mahal ni Rebeca.
29 Minsan, si Jacob ay nagluluto ng sinabawang pulang patani; siya namang pagdating ni Esau mula sa pangangaso. 30 Sinabi niya, “Gutom na gutom na ako, bigyan mo naman ako niyang mapulang niluluto mo.” At dahil dito'y tinawag siyang Edom.[c]
31 Sumagot si Jacob, “Ibigay mo muna sa akin ang iyong karapatan bilang panganay.”
32 “Payag na ako,” sabi ni Esau, “aanhin ko pa ang pagiging panganay kung mamamatay naman ako sa gutom?”
33 “Kung(E) gayon,” sabi ni Jacob, “sumumpa ka muna.” Sumumpa nga si Esau, at ibinigay kay Jacob ang karapatan ng pagiging panganay. 34 Ibinigay naman ni Jacob kay Esau ang niluto niyang gulay at binigyan pa ito ng tinapay. Matapos kumai't uminom, umalis na agad si Esau. Iyon lamang ang halaga sa kanya ng kanyang karapatan bilang panganay.
Genesis 25
New King James Version
Abraham and Keturah(A)
25 Abraham again took a wife, and her name was (B)Keturah. 2 And (C)she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And (D)Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. 6 But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he (E)sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to (F)the country of the east.
Abraham’s Death and Burial
7 This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years. 8 Then Abraham breathed his last and (G)died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and (H)was gathered to his people. 9 And (I)his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of (J)Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, 10 (K)the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. (L)There Abraham was 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 at (M)Beer Lahai Roi.
The Families of Ishmael and Isaac(N)
12 Now this is the (O)genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham. 13 And (P)these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 [a]Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their [b]settlements, (Q)twelve princes according to their nations. 17 These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and (R)he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. 18 (S)(They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He [c]died (T)in the presence of all his brethren.
19 This is the (U)genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. (V)Abraham begot Isaac. 20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, (W)the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, (X)the sister of Laban the Syrian. 21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; (Y)and the Lord granted his plea, (Z)and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” (AA)So she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said to her:
(AB)“Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body;
One people shall be stronger than (AC)the other,
(AD)And the older shall serve the younger.”
24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red. He was (AE)like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name [d]Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out, and (AF)his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so (AG)his name was called [e]Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 So the boys grew. And Esau was (AH)a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was (AI)a [f]mild man, (AJ)dwelling in tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau because he (AK)ate of his game, (AL)but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Esau Sells His Birthright(AM)
29 Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called [g]Edom.
31 But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”
32 And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so (AN)what is this birthright to me?”
33 Then Jacob said, [h]“Swear to me as of this day.”
So he swore to him, and (AO)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then (AP)he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau (AQ)despised his birthright.
