創世記 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
亞伯拉罕的其他後代
25 亞伯拉罕又娶了基土拉。 2 基土拉為亞伯拉罕生了心蘭、約珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴和書亞。 3 約珊生了示巴和底但，底但的子孫是亞書利族、利都示族和利烏米族。 4 米甸的兒子是以法、以弗、哈諾、亞比大和以勒大。這些都是基土拉的子孫。 5 亞伯拉罕把所有的財產都給了以撒。 6 他趁自己還在世的時候，把一些禮物送給他的妾所生的兒子們，讓他們離開他的兒子以撒到東方去。
7 亞伯拉罕活了一百七十五歲， 8 享盡天年，壽終正寢，歸到他祖先那裡。 9 他的兩個兒子以撒和以實瑪利把他安葬在麥比拉洞，那山洞在幔利附近、赫人瑣轄的兒子以弗崙的地裡。 10 那塊地是亞伯拉罕向赫人買的，他和妻子撒拉葬在一起。 11 亞伯拉罕去世以後，上帝賜福給他的兒子以撒。以撒住在庇耳·拉海·萊附近。
12 以實瑪利是亞伯拉罕和撒拉的婢女埃及人夏甲所生的兒子。 13 以下是以實瑪利的兒子，按出生的次序是：尼拜約、基達、亞德別、米比衫、 14 米施瑪、度瑪、瑪撒、 15 哈大、提瑪、伊突、拿非施、基底瑪。 16 他這十二個兒子後來分別成了十二個族的族長，各有自己的村莊和營寨。 17 以實瑪利活了一百三十七歲，壽終正寢，歸到他祖先那裡。 18 他子孫居住的地方從哈腓拉一直延伸到埃及東面、通往亞述方向的書珥，他們與其他親屬作對[a]。
利百加生以掃和雅各
19 以下是關於亞伯拉罕的兒子以撒的記載。
亞伯拉罕生以撒。 20 以撒四十歲娶利百加，利百加是巴旦·亞蘭的亞蘭人彼土利的女兒、拉班的妹妹。 21 以撒因為利百加沒有生育，就為她祈求耶和華。耶和華應允了他的祈求，利百加就懷了孕。 22 兩個胎兒在她腹中彼此相爭，她說：「怎麼會這樣？」於是，她去求問耶和華。 23 耶和華對她說：
「你腹中有兩個國家，
你要生出兩個敵對的民族，
一族要比另一族強大，
將來大的要服侍小的。」
24 到了生產的時候，利百加果然生下雙胞胎。 25 先出生的嬰兒遍體通紅，渾身長毛，好像穿了皮衣，因此給他取名叫以掃[b]。 26 隨後出生的弟弟緊緊抓著以掃的腳跟，因此給他取名叫雅各[c]。那時以撒六十歲。
以掃出賣長子名分
27 孩子們漸漸長大，以掃擅長狩獵，常在田野活動；雅各生來安靜，喜歡待在家裡。 28 以撒疼愛以掃，因為他喜歡吃以掃帶回來的獵物，利百加卻疼愛雅各。
29 一天，雅各正在熬湯，以掃精疲力盡地從田野回來。 30 以掃對雅各說：「我要餓死了，給我一些紅豆湯喝吧！」因此，以掃又叫以東[d]。 31 雅各回答說：「好，你今天把長子的名分賣給我吧！」 32 以掃說：「我都快餓死了，長子的名分對我有什麼用呢？」 33 雅各說：「好，你現在向我起誓保證吧！」於是，以掃就起誓把長子的名分賣給了雅各。 34 雅各把餅和紅豆湯給以掃，以掃吃完喝完便走了。以掃輕看自己長子的名分。

Abraham’s Death
25 Now Abraham took another wife, [a]whose name was Keturah. 2 (A)She bore to him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All of these were the sons of Keturah. 5 (B)Now Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac; 6 but to the sons of [b]his concubines, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and (C)sent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east.
7 These are [c]all the years of Abraham’s life that he lived, (D)175 years. 8 Abraham breathed his last and died (E)at a good old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was (F)gathered to his people. 9 Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in (G)the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre, 10 (H)the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. 11 It came about after the death of Abraham, that (I)God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac [d]lived by (J)Beer-lahai-roi.
Descendants of Ishmael
12 Now these are the records of the generations of (K)Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave woman, bore to Abraham; 13 and these are the names of (L)the sons of Ishmael, by their names, [e]in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, 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 camps; (M)twelve princes according to their [f]tribes. 17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael, (N)137 years; and he breathed his last and died, and was (O)gathered to his people. 18 They [g]settled from (P)Havilah to (Q)Shur which is [h]east of Egypt [i]going toward Assyria; (R)he [j]settled in defiance of all his relatives.
Isaac’s Sons
19 Now these are the records of (S)the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac; 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took (T)Rebekah, the (U)daughter of Bethuel the [k]Aramean of Paddan-aram, the (V)sister of Laban the [l]Aramean, to be his wife. 21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was unable to have children; and (W)the Lord [m]answered him, and his wife Rebekah (X)conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why am I in this condition?” So she went to (Y)inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her,
“(Z)Two nations are in your womb;
(AA)And two peoples will be separated from your body;
And one people will be stronger than the other;
And (AB)the older will serve the younger.”
24 When her days leading to the delivery were at an end, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 Now the first came out red, (AC)all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out with (AD)his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so (AE)he was named [n]Jacob; and Isaac was (AF)sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a [o]civilized man, (AG)living in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau because [p]he had (AH)a taste for game; (AI)but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 When Jacob had cooked a (AJ)stew one day, Esau came in from the field and he was exhausted; 30 and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a mouthful of [q]that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.” Therefore he was called [r]Edom by name. 31 But Jacob said, “[s]First sell me your (AK)birthright.” 32 Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” 33 And Jacob said, “[t]First swear to me”; so he swore an oath to him, and (AL)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

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.
