Genesis 25
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Ang Iban nga mga Kaliwat nga Lalaki ni Abraham(A)
25 Nagpangasawa liwat si Abraham, kag ang ngalan sang iya asawa si Ketura. 2 Ang ila mga anak amo sila ni Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, kag Shua. 3 Si Jokshan amo ang amay ni Sheba kag ni Dedan. Ang mga kaliwat ni Dedan amo ang mga Ashurnon, Letushnon, kag Leumnon. 4 Ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Midian amo sila ni Efa, Efer, Hanoc, Abida, kag Eldaa. Amo ini sila tanan ang mga kaliwat ni Ketura.
5-6 Antes napatay si Abraham, ginbilin niya ang tanan niya nga pagkabutang kay Isaac. Pero ginhatagan niya sang mga regalo ang iban niya nga mga anak sa iban niya nga mga asawa, kag ginpaestar niya sila sa mga kadutaan sa sidlangan, palayo sa iya anak nga si Isaac.
Ang Pagkapatay kag Paglubong kay Abraham
7 Nagkabuhi si Abraham sing 175 ka tuig. 8 Napatay siya nga tigulang na gid, kag ginsimpon siya sa iya mga paryente nga nagkalamatay na. 9 Ginlubong siya sang iya mga anak nga si Isaac kag si Ishmael didto sa kuweba sa Macpela, sa sidlangan sang Mamre, sa uma nga iya anay ni Efron nga anak ni Zohar nga Hithanon. 10 Ato nga uma ginbakal ni Abraham sa presensya sang mga Hithanon. Didto ginlubong si Abraham kag ang iya asawa nga si Sara. 11 Pagkatapos nga napatay si Abraham, ginbendisyunan sang Dios si Isaac kag didto siya nag-estar sa Beer Lahai Roi.
Ang mga Kaliwat ni Ishmael(B)
12 Amo ini ang estorya parte sa pamilya ni Ishmael nga anak ni Abraham kay Hagar nga Egiptohanon, nga suluguon ni Sara.
13 Amo ini ang mga ngalan sang mga anak nga lalaki ni Ishmael halin sa kamagulangan: Nebayot, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Duma, Masa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafish, kag Kedema. 16 Sila ang mga anak ni Ishmael, kag nangin pangulo sila sang dose ka tribo nga mga kaliwat ni Ishmael. Ang ila mga ngalan amo ang ginpangalan sa mga lugar nga ila gin-estaran.
17 Nagkabuhi si Ishmael sing 137 ka tuig. Napatay siya kag ginsimpon siya sa iya mga paryente nga nagkalamatay na. 18 Nag-estar ang iya mga kaliwat sa mga lugar nga halin sa Havila hasta sa Shur, sa sidlangan dampi sang Egipto nga pakadto sa Asiria. Ginkontra nila ang tanan nila nga mga paryente nga mga kaliwat ni Isaac.
Ang Pagkatawo ni Esau kag ni Jacob
19 Amo ini ang estorya parte sa pamilya ni Isaac nga anak ni Abraham.
20 Nagaedad si Isaac sing 40 ka tuig sang magpangasawa siya kay Rebeka nga anak ni Betuel nga Arameanhon nga taga-Padan Aram.[a] Si Rebeka utod ni Laban nga Arameanhon man. 21 Tungod kay baw-as si Rebeka, nagpangamuyo si Isaac sa Ginoo nga makabata siya. Ginsabat sang Ginoo ang iya pangamuyo, gani nagbusong si Rebeka. 22 Nabatyagan niya nga nagadis-uganay ang kapid nga bata sa sulod sang iya tiyan. Nagsiling si Rebeka, “Ngaa amo ini ang nagakatabo sa akon?”[b] Gani nagpamangkot siya sa Ginoo parte sini. Nagsiling ang Ginoo sa iya,
23 “Magahalin sa duha ka bata nga ara sa imo tiyan ang duha ka nasyon;
duha ka grupo sang mga katawhan nga magakontrahanay.
Ang isa mangin gamhanan sang sa isa.
Ang magulang magaalagad sa manghod.”
24 Sang nagbata na si Rebeka, ang iya bata kapid. 25 Ang una nga nagguwa mapula-pula kag balahibuhon, gani gin-ngalanan nila siya nga Esau.[c] 26 Sang pagguwa sang ikaduha, ang iya kamot nagauyat sa tikod sang iya kapid, gani gin-ngalanan nila siya nga Jacob.[d] Nagaedad si Isaac sang 60 ka tuig sang magbata si Rebeka sang kapid.
Ginbaligya ni Esau ang Iya Kinamatarong Bilang Magulang
27 Sang nagdako na ang duha ka bata, nangin maabtik nga mangangayam si Esau kag permi lang siya sa latagon samtang si Jacob iya hipuson nga tawo kag permi lang nagatiner sa mga tolda. 28 Mas nagustuhan ni Isaac si Esau tungod kay gusto niya permi magkaon sang mga pinangayaman ni Esau, pero si Jacob amo ang mas nagustuhan ni Rebeka.
29 Isa ka adlaw, samtang nagaluto si Jacob sang sopas, nag-abot si Esau halin sa pagpangayam nga gutom gid katama. 30 Nagsiling siya kay Jacob, “Abi, pakan-a ako sinang ginaluto mo nga mapula kay gutom gid ako katama.” (Amo ina nga gintawag si Esau nga Edom.)[e]
31 Pero nagsabat si Jacob, “Hatagan ko ikaw sini kon ihatag mo sa akon ang imo kinamatarong bilang magulang.” 32 Nagsiling si Esau, “Sige, kay anhon ko man ina nga kinamatarong kon mapatay man lang ako sa kagutom.” 33 Nagsabat si Jacob, “Kon amo sina, magsumpa ka anay sa akon.” Gani nagsumpa si Esau nga mangin iya na ni Jacob ang iya kinamatarong bilang magulang.
34 Ginhatagan dayon siya ni Jacob sang tinapay kag sopas. Pagkatapos niya kaon kag inom, naglakat siya dayon. Sa sadtong ginhimo ni Esau, ginbaliwala niya ang iya kinamatarong bilang magulang.

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.

English Standard Version
Abraham's Death and His Descendants
25 Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 (A)She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered 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 (B)Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. 6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he (C)sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward (D)to the east country.
7 These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, 175 years. 8 Abraham (E)breathed his last and (F)died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. 9 Isaac and Ishmael (G)his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, 10 the field (H)that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. (I)There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. 11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at (J)Beer-lahai-roi.
12 These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, (K)whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham. 13 (L)These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: (M)Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and (N)Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, (O)Tema, (P)Jetur, (Q)Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, (R)twelve princes according to their tribes. 17 (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He (S)breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) 18 (T)They settled from Havilah to (U)Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled[a] over against all his kinsmen.
The Birth of Esau and Jacob
19 These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: (V)Abraham fathered Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, (W)the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of (X)Paddan-aram, (Y)the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. 21 And Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And (Z)the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”[b] So she went (AA)to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her,
(AB)“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you[c] shall be divided;
(AC)the one shall be stronger than the other,
(AD)the older shall serve the younger.”
24 When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out red, (AE)all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out with (AF)his hand holding Esau's heel, so (AG)his name was called Jacob.[d] Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau was (AH)a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, (AI)dwelling in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because (AJ)he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Esau Sells His Birthright
29 Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.[e]) 31 Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” 32 Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” 33 Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and (AK)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
