Fyrsta bók Móse 25
Icelandic Bible
25 Abraham tók sér enn konu. Hún hét Ketúra.
2 Og hún ól honum Símran, Joksan, Medan, Midían, Jísbak og Súa.
3 Og Joksan gat Séba og Dedan, og synir Dedans voru Assúrítar, Letúsítar og Leúmmítar.
4 Og synir Midíans voru: Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abída og Eldaa. Allir þessir eru niðjar Ketúru.
5 Abraham gaf Ísak allt, sem hann átti.
6 En sonum þeim, sem Abraham hafði átt með hjákonunum, gaf hann gjafir og lét þá, meðan hann enn var á lífi, fara burt frá Ísak syni sínum í austurátt, til austurlanda.
7 Þetta eru ævidagar Abrahams, sem hann lifði, hundrað sjötíu og fimm ár.
8 Og Abraham andaðist og dó í góðri elli, gamall og saddur lífdaga, og safnaðist til síns fólks.
9 Og Ísak og Ísmael synir hans jörðuðu hann í Makpelahelli í landi Efrons, sonar Hetítans Sóars, sem er gegnt Mamre,
10 í landi því, sem Abraham hafði keypt af Hetítum, þar var Abraham jarðaður og Sara kona hans.
11 Og eftir andlát Abrahams blessaði Guð Ísak son hans. En Ísak bjó hjá Beer-lahaj-róí.
12 Þetta er ættartal Ísmaels Abrahamssonar, sem Hagar hin egypska, ambátt Söru, ól honum.
13 Og þessi eru nöfn Ísmaels sona, samkvæmt nöfnum þeirra, eftir kynþáttum þeirra. Nebajót var hans frumgetinn son, þá Kedar, Adbeel, Míbsam,
14 Misma, Dúma, Massa,
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetúr, Nafis og Kedma.
16 Þessir eru synir Ísmaels, og þessi eru nöfn þeirra, eftir þorpum þeirra og tjaldbúðum, tólf höfðingjar, eftir ættkvíslum þeirra.
17 Og þetta voru æviár Ísmaels: hundrað þrjátíu og sjö ár, _ þá andaðist hann og dó, og safnaðist til síns fólks.
18 Og þeir bjuggu frá Havíla til Súr, sem er fyrir austan Egyptaland, í stefnu til Assýríu. Fyrir austan alla bræður sína tók hann sér bústað.
19 Þetta er saga Ísaks Abrahamssonar. Abraham gat Ísak.
20 Ísak var fertugur að aldri, er hann gekk að eiga Rebekku, dóttur Betúels hins arameíska frá Paddan-aram, systur Labans hins arameíska.
21 Ísak bað Drottin fyrir konu sinni, því að hún var óbyrja, og Drottinn bænheyrði hann, og Rebekka kona hans varð þunguð.
22 Og er börnin hnitluðust í kviði hennar, sagði hún: "Sé það svona, hví lifi ég þá?" Gekk hún þá til frétta við Drottin.
23 En Drottinn svaraði henni: Þú gengur með tvær þjóðir, og tveir ættleggir munu af skauti þínu kvíslast. Annar verður sterkari en hinn, og hinn eldri mun þjóna hinum yngri.
24 Er dagar hennar fullnuðust, að hún skyldi fæða, sjá, þá voru tvíburar í kviði hennar.
25 Og hinn fyrri kom í ljós, rauður að lit og allur sem loðfeldur, og var hann nefndur Esaú.
26 Og eftir það kom bróðir hans í ljós, og hélt hann um hælinn á Esaú, og var hann nefndur Jakob. En Ísak var sextíu ára, er hún ól þá.
27 Er sveinarnir voru vaxnir, gjörðist Esaú slyngur veiðimaður og hafðist við á heiðum, en Jakob var maður gæfur og bjó í tjöldum.
28 Og Ísak unni Esaú, því að villibráð þótti honum góð, en Rebekka unni Jakob.
29 Einu sinni hafði Jakob soðið rétt nokkurn. Kom þá Esaú af heiðum og var dauðþreyttur.
30 Þá sagði Esaú við Jakob: "Gef mér fljótt að eta hið rauða, þetta rauða þarna, því að ég er dauðþreyttur." Fyrir því nefndu menn hann Edóm.
31 En Jakob mælti: "Seldu mér fyrst frumburðarrétt þinn."
32 Og Esaú mælti: "Ég er kominn í dauðann, hvað stoðar mig frumburðarréttur minn?"
33 Og Jakob mælti: "Vinn þú mér þá fyrst eið að því!" Og hann vann honum eiðinn og seldi Jakob frumburðarrétt sinn.
34 En Jakob gaf Esaú brauð og baunarétt, og hann át og drakk og stóð upp og gekk burt. Þannig lítilsvirti Esaú frumburðarrétt sinn.

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.
