创世记 25
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
亚伯拉罕娶基土拉(A)
25 亚伯拉罕又娶了一个妻子，名叫基土拉。 2 基土拉给他生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴和书亚。 3 约珊生了示巴和底但，而底但的子孙是亚书利人、利都示人和利乌米人。 4 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大和以勒大。这些人都是基土拉的子孙。 5 亚伯拉罕把自己一切所有的都给了以撒。 6 亚伯拉罕把礼物分给他庶出的众子，在自己还活着的时候，就打发他们离开他的儿子以撒，向东面行，往东方的地去。
亚伯拉罕逝世
7 亚伯拉罕一生的年日是一百七十五岁。 8 亚伯拉罕寿高年老，享尽天年，气绝而死，归到他的先人那里去了。 9 他的儿子以撒和以实玛利把他埋葬在麦比拉洞里。这洞是在幔利前面，赫人琐辖的儿子以弗仑的田间， 10 就是亚伯拉罕从赫人那里买来的那块田。亚伯拉罕和他的妻子撒拉都埋葬在那里。 11 亚伯拉罕死后， 神赐福给他的儿子以撒；那时，以撒住在庇耳．拉海．莱附近。
以实玛利的后代(B)
12 以下是撒拉的婢女埃及人夏甲，给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子以实玛利的后代。 13 以实玛利的众子，按着他们的家谱，名字如下：以实玛利的长子是尼拜约，其次是基达、押德别、米比衫、 14 米施玛、度玛、玛撒、 15 哈达、提玛、伊突、拿非施和基底玛。 16 这些都是以实玛利的儿子。他们的村庄和营地都按着他们的名字命名；他们作了十二族的族长。 17 以实玛利一生的岁数，是一百三十七岁；他气绝而死，归到他的先人那里去了。 18 他的子孙住在哈腓拉直到埃及东面的书珥，通往亚述的道上。以实玛利却住在自己众兄弟的东面。
以撒的后代
19 以下是亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的后代。亚伯拉罕生以撒。 20 以撒娶利百加为妻的时候，正四十岁。利百加是巴旦．亚兰地、亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹妹。 21 以撒因为自己的妻子不生育，就为她恳求耶和华。耶和华应允了他，他的妻子利百加就怀了孕。 22 双胎在她腹中彼此碰撞，她就说：“若是这样，我为甚么活着呢？”她就去求问耶和华。 23 耶和华回答她：
“两国在你肚里，
两族从你腹中要分出来；
将来这族必强过那族，
大的要服事小的。”
24 到了生产的时候，她肚腹中果然是一对双生子。 25 先出来的，全身赤红有毛，像毛衣一样，他们就给他起名叫以扫。 26 随后，他的弟弟也出来了，他的手抓住以扫的脚跟，因此就给他起名叫雅各。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年正六十岁。
以扫出卖长子名分
27 两个孩子渐渐长大；以扫善于打猎，喜欢生活在田野；雅各为人安静，常常住在帐棚里。 28 以撒爱以扫，因为他常吃以扫的野味；利百加却爱雅各。 29 有一次，雅各正在煮豆汤的时候，以扫从田野回来，疲乏得很。 30 以扫对雅各说：“求你把这红豆汤给我喝吧，因为我疲乏得很。”因此，以扫的名字又叫以东。 31 雅各说：“你要先把你的长子名分卖给我。” 32 以扫说：“我快要死了，这长子名分对我有甚么益处呢？” 33 雅各说：“你先向我起誓吧。”以扫就向他起了誓，把自己的长子名分卖给雅各。 34 于是，雅各把饼和红豆汤给了以扫；以扫吃了，喝了，就起来走了。以扫就这样轻看了他的长子名分。

亚伯拉罕的其他后代
25 亚伯拉罕又娶了基土拉。 2 基土拉为亚伯拉罕生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴和书亚。 3 约珊生了示巴和底但，底但的子孙是亚书利族、利都示族和利乌米族。 4 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大和以勒大。这些都是基土拉的子孙。 5 亚伯拉罕把所有的财产都给了以撒。 6 他趁自己还在世的时候，把一些礼物送给他的妾所生的儿子们，让他们离开他的儿子以撒到东方去。
7 亚伯拉罕活了一百七十五岁， 8 享尽天年，寿终正寝，归到他祖先那里。 9 他的两个儿子以撒和以实玛利把他安葬在麦比拉洞，那山洞在幔利附近、赫人琐辖的儿子以弗仑的地里。 10 那块地是亚伯拉罕向赫人买的，他和妻子撒拉葬在一起。 11 亚伯拉罕去世以后，上帝赐福给他的儿子以撒。以撒住在庇耳·拉海·莱附近。
12 以实玛利是亚伯拉罕和撒拉的婢女埃及人夏甲所生的儿子。 13 以下是以实玛利的儿子，按出生的次序是：尼拜约、基达、亚德别、米比衫、 14 米施玛、度玛、玛撒、 15 哈大、提玛、伊突、拿非施、基底玛。 16 他这十二个儿子后来分别成了十二个族的族长，各有自己的村庄和营寨。 17 以实玛利活了一百三十七岁，寿终正寝，归到他祖先那里。 18 他子孙居住的地方从哈腓拉一直延伸到埃及东面、通往亚述方向的书珥，他们与其他亲属作对[a]。
利百加生以扫和雅各
19 以下是关于亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的记载。
亚伯拉罕生以撒。 20 以撒四十岁娶利百加，利百加是巴旦·亚兰的亚兰人彼土利的女儿、拉班的妹妹。 21 以撒因为利百加没有生育，就为她祈求耶和华。耶和华应允了他的祈求，利百加就怀了孕。 22 两个胎儿在她腹中彼此相争，她说：“怎么会这样？”于是，她去求问耶和华。 23 耶和华对她说：
“你腹中有两个国家，
你要生出两个敌对的民族，
一族要比另一族强大，
将来大的要服侍小的。”
24 到了生产的时候，利百加果然生下双胞胎。 25 先出生的婴儿遍体通红，浑身长毛，好像穿了皮衣，因此给他取名叫以扫[b]。 26 随后出生的弟弟紧紧抓着以扫的脚跟，因此给他取名叫雅各[c]。那时以撒六十岁。
以扫出卖长子名分
27 孩子们渐渐长大，以扫擅长狩猎，常在田野活动；雅各生来安静，喜欢待在家里。 28 以撒疼爱以扫，因为他喜欢吃以扫带回来的猎物，利百加却疼爱雅各。
29 一天，雅各正在熬汤，以扫筋疲力尽地从田野回来。 30 以扫对雅各说：“我要饿死了，给我一些红豆汤喝吧！”因此，以扫又叫以东[d]。 31 雅各回答说：“好，你今天把长子的名分卖给我吧！” 32 以扫说：“我都快饿死了，长子的名分对我有什么用呢？” 33 雅各说：“好，你现在向我起誓保证吧！”于是，以扫就起誓把长子的名分卖给了雅各。 34 雅各把饼和红豆汤给以扫，以扫吃完喝完便走了。以扫轻看自己长子的名分。
Genesis 25
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
25 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
6 But to the sons of his concubines [Hagar and Keturah] Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them to the east country, away from Isaac his son [of promise].
7 The days of Abraham’s life were 175 years.
8 Then Abraham’s spirit was released, and he died at a good (ample, full) old age, an old man, satisfied and satiated, and [a]was gathered to his people.(A)
9 And his sons [b]Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is east of Mamre,
10 The field which Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried with Sarah his wife.
11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi [A well to the Living One Who sees me].
12 Now this is the history of the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham.
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their births: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments (sheepfolds)—twelve princes according to their tribes. [Foretold in Gen. 17:20.]
17 And Ishmael lived 137 years; then his spirit left him, and he died and was gathered to his kindred.
18 And [Ishmael’s sons] dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is before Egypt in the direction of Assyria. [Ishmael] dwelt close [to the lands] of all his brethren.
19 And this is the history of the descendants of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham was the father of Isaac.
20 Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Padan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 And Isaac prayed much to the Lord for his wife because she was unable to bear children; and the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife became pregnant.
22 [Two] children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so [that the Lord has heard our prayer], why am I like this? And she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 The Lord said to her, [The founders of] two nations are in your womb, and the separation of two peoples has begun in your body; the one people shall be stronger than the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 The first came out red all over like a hairy garment, and they named him Esau [hairy].
26 Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand grasped Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob [supplanter]. Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau was a cunning and skilled hunter, a man of the outdoors; but Jacob was a plain and quiet man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved [and was partial to] Esau, because he ate of Esau’s game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Jacob was boiling pottage (lentil stew) one day, when Esau came from the field and was faint [with hunger].
30 And Esau said to Jacob, I beg of you, let me have some of that red lentil stew to eat, for I am faint and famished! That is why his name was called Edom [red].
31 Jacob answered, Then sell me today your birthright (the rights of a firstborn).
32 Esau said, See here, I am at the point of death; what good can this birthright do me?
33 Jacob said, Swear to me today [that you are selling it to me]; and he swore to [Jacob] and sold him his birthright.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils, and he ate and drank and rose up and went his way. Thus Esau scorned his birthright as beneath his notice.
