2quæ peperit ei Zamran et Jecsan, et Madan, et Madian, et Jesboc, et Sue.
2And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3Jecsan quoque genuit Saba et Dadan. Filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim, et Latusim, et Loomin.
3And Jokshan begot Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha, et Opher, et Henoch, et Abida, et Eldaa: omnes hi filii Ceturæ.
4And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5Deditque Abraham cuncta quæ possederat, Isaac:
5And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6filiis autem concubinarum largitus est munera, et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem.
6But unto the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7Fuerunt autem dies vitæ Abrahæ, centum septuaginta quinque anni.
7And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8Et deficiens mortuus est in senectute bona, provectæque ætatis et plenus dierum: congregatusque est ad populum suum.
8And Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismaël filii sui in spelunca duplici, quæ sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hethæi, e regione Mambre,
9And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10quem emerat a filiis Heth: ibi sepultus est ipse, et Sara uxor ejus.
10the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth; there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio ejus, qui habitabat juxta puteum nomine Viventis et videntis.
11And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
12Hæ sunt generationes Ismaël filii Abrahæ, quem peperit ei Agar Ægyptia, famula Saræ: et
12Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham.
13hæc nomina filiorum ejus in vocabulis et generationibus suis. Primogenitus Ismaëlis Nabaioth, deinde Cedar, et Adbeel, et Mabsam,
13And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14Masma quoque, et Duma, et Massa,
14and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa;
15Hadar, et Thema, et Jethur, et Naphis, et Cedma.
15Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedem;
16Isti sunt filii Ismaëlis: et hæc nomina per castella et oppida eorum, duodecim principes tribuum suarum.
16these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations.
17Et facti sunt anni vitæ Ismaëlis centum triginta septem, deficiensque mortuus est, et appositus ad populum suum.
17And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expired and died; and was gathered unto his people.
18Habitavit autem ab Hevila usque Sur, quæ respicit Ægyptum introëuntibus Assyrios; coram cunctis fratribus suis obiit.
18And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Asshur: over against all his brethren he did settle.
19Hæ quoque sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac:
19And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac.
20qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban.
20And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean, of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.
21Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccæ.
21And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD let Himself be entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22Sed collidebantur in utero ejus parvuli; quæ ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum.
22And the children struggled together within her; and she said: 'If it be so, wherefore do I live?' And she went to inquire of the LORD.
23Qui respondens ait: [Duæ gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur, populusque populum superabit, et major serviet minori.]
23And the LORD said unto her: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24Jam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero ejus reperti sunt.
24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus: vocatumque est nomen ejus Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu: et idcirco appellavit eum Jacob.
25And the first came forth ruddy, all over like a hairy mantle; and they called his name Esau.
26Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.
26And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was threescore years old when she bore them.
27Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Jacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis.
27And the boys grew; and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
28Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Jacob.
28Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; and Rebekah loved Jacob.
29Coxit autem Jacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,
29And Jacob sod pottage; and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint.
30ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen ejus Edom.
30And Esau said to Jacob: 'Let me swallow, I pray thee, some of this red, red pottage; for I am faint.' Therefore was his name called Edom.
31Cui dixit Jacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.
31And Jacob said: 'Sell me first thy birthright.'
32Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita?
32And Esau said: 'Behold, I am at the point to die; and what profit shall the birthright do to me?'
33Ait Jacob: Jura ergo mihi. Juravit ei Esau et vendidit primogenita.
33And Jacob said: 'Swear to me first'; and he swore unto him; and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34Et sic, accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit et bibit, et abiit, parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.
34And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
