創世記

第25章

1 亞伯拉罕又娶了一妻,名叫基土拉。

2 基土拉給他生了心蘭、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、利都是族,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。這都是基土拉的子孫。

5 亞伯拉罕將一切所有的都給了以撒。

6 亞伯拉罕把財物分給他庶出的眾子,趁著自己還在世的時候打發他們離開他的兒子以撒,往東方去。

7 亞伯拉罕一生的年日是一百七十五歲。

8 亞伯拉罕壽高年邁,氣絕而死,歸到他本民[his people]那裏。

9 他兩個兒子以撒、以實瑪利把他埋葬在麥比拉洞裏。這洞在幔利前、赫人瑣轄的兒子以弗崙的田中,

10 就是亞伯拉罕向赫人買的那塊田。亞伯拉罕和他妻子撒拉都葬在那裏。

11 亞伯拉罕死了以後,神賜福給他的兒子以撒;以撒靠近拉海.萊[Lahai-roi][well]居住。

12 撒拉的使女埃及人夏甲給亞伯拉罕所生的兒子是以實瑪利,以實瑪利的宗族記在下面[Now these are the generations of Ishmael]

13 以實瑪利兒子們的名字,按著他們的宗族[generations]記在下面。以實瑪利的長子是尼拜約,又有基達、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 這是以實瑪利眾子的名字,照著他們的村莊、城壘[castles],作了十二族的族長。

17 以實瑪利享壽一百三十七歲,氣絕而死,歸到本民[his people]那裏。

18 他子孫住在哈腓拉直到埃及前的書珥[dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt];正在亞述的道上,以實瑪利便在眾弟兄面前死了[and he died in the presence of all his brethren]

19 亞伯拉罕的兒子以撒的後代記在下面。亞伯拉罕生以撒。

20 以撒娶利百加為妻的時候正四十歲。利百加是巴旦.亞蘭地的敘利亞人彼土利的女兒,是敘利亞人拉班的妹子。

21 以撒因他妻子不育[barren],就為她祈求耶和華;耶和華應允他的祈求,他的妻子利百加就懷了孕。

22 孩子們在她腹中彼此相爭,她就說:「若是這樣,我為甚麼如此[why am I thus]呢?」她就去求問耶和華。

23 耶和華對她說:兩國在你腹內;兩族要從你身上出來。這族必強於那族;將來大的要服事小的。

24 分娩[delivered]的日子到了,腹中果然是雙子。

25 先產的身體發紅,渾身有毛,如同皮衣,他們就給他起名叫以掃。

26 隨後又生了以掃的兄弟,手抓住以掃的腳跟,因此給他起名叫雅各。利百加生下兩個兒子的時候,以撒年正六十歲。

27 兩個孩子漸漸長大,以掃善於打獵,常在田野;雅各為人安靜,常住在帳棚裏。

28 以撒愛以掃,因為常吃他的野味;利百加卻愛雅各。

29 有一天,雅各熬湯,以掃從田野回來累昏了。

30 以掃對雅各說:「我累昏了,求你把這紅湯給我喝。」因此以掃又叫以東。

31 雅各說:「你今日把長子的名分賣給我吧。」

32 以掃說:「看哪[Behold],我將要死,這長子的名分於我有甚麼益處呢?」

33 雅各說:「你今日對我起誓吧。」以掃就對他起了誓,把長子的名分賣給雅各。

34 於是雅各將餅和紅豆湯給了以掃,以掃吃了喝了,便起來走了。這就是以掃輕看了他長子的名分。

Genesis

Chapter 25

1 THEN again Abraham took another wife, and her name was Kenturah.

2 And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 And Jokshan begot Sheba and Daran. And the sons of Daran were Asshurim, Letushim, and Ammim.

4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Haphar, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Kenturah.

5 And Abraham gave everything that he had to Isaac.

6 But to the sons of his concubine, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac, his son, eastward to the east country, while he was still alive.

7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.

8 Then Abraham became sick, and died in a good old age, an old man satisfied with his days; and was gathered to his people.

9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the double cave, (Machpelah) which is in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

10 The field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth, as a possession for a burial ground. 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 of Khaya-khezan (The Well of The Living One who saw me).

12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham;

13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebioth, and Kedar, Arbal, and Mibsam,

14 Mishma, Romah, Massa,

15 Hadar, Tema, Nator, Naphish, and Kedem.

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names by their villages and by their sheepfolds, twelve princes according to their nations.

17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he became sick and died; and was gathered to his people.

18 And they dwelt from Havilah as far as Shud, which extends from the border of Egypt to the gateway of Assyria; he dwelt adjacent to the lands of all his brethren.

19 These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac;

20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Padan-aram, the sister of Laban, the Aramean (Syrian).

21 And Isaac prayed before the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD answered him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 And the children struggled together within her womb; and she said, If it is to be like this, why do I live? So she went to enquire of the LORD.

23 And the LORD said to her, Two peoples are in your womb, and two nations shall be separated from your body; and the one nation shall be stronger than the other nation; 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 covered with ringlets of hair; and they called his name Esau.

26 And after him his brother came forth, and his hand held Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob; and Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah bore them.

27 And the boys grew up; and Esau became an expert hunter, a man of outdoor life; but Jacob was a simple man, living in a tent.

28 And Isaac was fond of Esau, because he ate of Esau's game; but Rebekah was fond of Jacob.

29 And Jacob cooked pottage, and behold, his brother Esau came in from the field, and he was very hungry;

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Give me some of that pottage, for I am famished; that is why he was called Edom.

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day your birthright.

32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point of death; and what profit shall a birthright be to me?

33 And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage; and he ate, and drank, and rose up and went his way; thus Esau despised his birthright.

12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham;

18 他子孫住在哈腓拉直到埃及前的書珥[dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt];正在亞述的道上,以實瑪利便在眾弟兄面前死了[and he died in the presence of all his brethren]

18 And they dwelt from Havilah as far as Shud, which extends from the border of Egypt to the gateway of Assyria; he dwelt adjacent to the lands of all his brethren.

19 亞伯拉罕的兒子以撒的後代記在下面。亞伯拉罕生以撒。

19 These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac;

20 以撒娶利百加為妻的時候正四十歲。利百加是巴旦.亞蘭地的敘利亞人彼土利的女兒,是敘利亞人拉班的妹子。

20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Padan-aram, the sister of Laban, the Aramean (Syrian).

21 以撒因他妻子不育[barren],就為她祈求耶和華;耶和華應允他的祈求,他的妻子利百加就懷了孕。

21 And Isaac prayed before the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD answered him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

23 And the LORD said to her, Two peoples are in your womb, and two nations shall be separated from your body; and the one nation shall be stronger than the other nation; and the elder shall serve the younger.

24 分娩[delivered]的日子到了,腹中果然是雙子。

24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 先產的身體發紅,渾身有毛,如同皮衣,他們就給他起名叫以掃。

25 And the first came out red, all covered with ringlets of hair; and they called his name Esau.

26 隨後又生了以掃的兄弟,手抓住以掃的腳跟,因此給他起名叫雅各。利百加生下兩個兒子的時候,以撒年正六十歲。

26 And after him his brother came forth, and his hand held Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob; and Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah bore them.

27 兩個孩子漸漸長大,以掃善於打獵,常在田野;雅各為人安靜,常住在帳棚裏。

27 And the boys grew up; and Esau became an expert hunter, a man of outdoor life; but Jacob was a simple man, living in a tent.

28 以撒愛以掃,因為常吃他的野味;利百加卻愛雅各。

28 And Isaac was fond of Esau, because he ate of Esau's game; but Rebekah was fond of Jacob.

29 有一天,雅各熬湯,以掃從田野回來累昏了。

29 And Jacob cooked pottage, and behold, his brother Esau came in from the field, and he was very hungry;

30 以掃對雅各說:「我累昏了,求你把這紅湯給我喝。」因此以掃又叫以東。

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Give me some of that pottage, for I am famished; that is why he was called Edom.

31 雅各說:「你今日把長子的名分賣給我吧。」

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day your birthright.

32 以掃說:「看哪[Behold],我將要死,這長子的名分於我有甚麼益處呢?」

32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point of death; and what profit shall a birthright be to me?

33 雅各說:「你今日對我起誓吧。」以掃就對他起了誓,把長子的名分賣給雅各。

33 And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 於是雅各將餅和紅豆湯給了以掃,以掃吃了喝了,便起來走了。這就是以掃輕看了他長子的名分。

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage; and he ate, and drank, and rose up and went his way; thus Esau despised his birthright.
