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
New International Version
The Death of Abraham(A)
25 Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran,(B) Jokshan, Medan, Midian,(C) Ishbak and Shuah.(D) 3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba(E) and Dedan;(F) the descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah,(G) Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.(H) 6 But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines(I) and sent them away from his son Isaac(J) to the land of the east.(K)
7 Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years.(L) 8 Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age,(M) an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.(N) 9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him(O) in the cave of Machpelah(P) near Mamre,(Q) in the field of Ephron(R) son of Zohar the Hittite,(S) 10 the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites.[a](T) There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. 11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac,(U) who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi.(V)
Ishmael’s Sons(W)
12 This is the account(X) of the family line of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Sarah’s slave, Hagar(Y) the Egyptian, bore to Abraham.(Z)
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth(AA) the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar,(AB) Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah,(AC) Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema,(AD) Jetur,(AE) Naphish and Kedemah. 16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these are the names of the twelve tribal rulers(AF) according to their settlements and camps.(AG) 17 Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and he was gathered to his people.(AH) 18 His descendants(AI) settled in the area from Havilah to Shur,(AJ) near the eastern border of Egypt, as you go toward Ashur. And they lived in hostility toward[b] all the tribes related to them.(AK)
Jacob and Esau
19 This is the account(AL) of the family line of Abraham’s son Isaac.
Abraham became the father of Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old(AM) when he married Rebekah(AN) daughter of Bethuel(AO) the Aramean from Paddan Aram[c](AP) and sister of Laban(AQ) the Aramean.(AR)
21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless.(AS) The Lord answered his prayer,(AT) and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. 22 The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.(AU)
23 The Lord said to her,
“Two nations(AV) are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger.(AW)”
24 When the time came for her to give birth,(AX) there were twin boys in her womb.(AY) 25 The first to come out was red,(AZ) and his whole body was like a hairy garment;(BA) so they named him Esau.[d](BB) 26 After this, his brother came out,(BC) with his hand grasping Esau’s heel;(BD) so he was named Jacob.[e](BE) Isaac was sixty years old(BF) when Rebekah gave birth to them.
27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter,(BG) a man of the open country,(BH) while Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents. 28 Isaac, who had a taste for wild game,(BI) loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.(BJ)
29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew,(BK) Esau came in from the open country,(BL) famished. 30 He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew!(BM) I’m famished!” (That is why he was also called Edom.[f])(BN)
31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.(BO)”
32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”
33 But Jacob said, “Swear(BP) to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright(BQ) to Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew.(BR) He ate and drank, and then got up and left.
So Esau despised his birthright.
