25 ¶ Abraram te pran yon lòt fanm yo te rele Ketoura.

Ketoura fè sis pitit pou li: Zimran, Joksan, Medan, Madyan, Jisbak ak Swak.

Joksan te papa Seba ak Dedan. Men pitit Dedan yo: Se te moun Achou yo, moun Letouch yo ak moun Lemou yo.

Men pitit Madyan yo: Se te Efa, Efe, Enòk, Abida ak Elda. Se tout moun sa yo ki te pitit ak pitit pitit Ketoura.

Abraram kite tout byen l' yo pou Izarak.

Men anvan l' mouri, li te bay pitit li te fè ak lòt fanm kay yo kèk kado. Apre sa, li fè yo pati, li voye yo byen lwen Izarak, pitit gason l' lan, li voye yo nan peyi kote solèy leve a.

Abraram te viv sanswasannkenzan (175 an).

Abraram te fin granmoun, li te wè kont jou l', li te pase vye jou l' yo san pwoblèm. Apre sa li mouri, li al jwenn moun li yo ki te mouri deja.

Izarak ak Izmayèl, pitit li yo, antere l' nan twou wòch Makpela a, nan jaden Efwon, pitit Zoka, yon moun Et, anfas Manmre.

10 Se jaden sa a Abraram te achte nan men mesye Et yo. Se la yo te antere Abraram ak Sara, madanm li.

11 ¶ Apre Abraram mouri, Bondye te beni Izarak, pitit gason l' lan, ki te rete toupre Pi moun vivan ki wè m' lan.

12 Men pitit pitit Izmayèl, pitit Abraram lan. Se Aga, moun peyi Lejip, sèvant Sara, ki te fè pitit sa a pou Abraram.

13 Men non pitit Izmayèl yo. N'ap konmanse ak pi gran an pou rive sou pi piti a. Nebajòt te premye pitit Izmayèl. Apre li vini Keda, Adbeyèl, Mibsam,

14 Michma, Douma, Masa,

15 Adad, Tema, Jetou, Nafich ak Kedma.

16 Se yo ki te pitit Izmayèl. Se konsa yo te rele yo ansanm ak tout katye kote yo te rete ak kote yo te moute tant yo. Sa te fè douz chèf, chak ak nasyon pa yo.

17 Izmayèl te gen santrannsetan (137 an) lè l' mouri. Y al antere l' menm kote ak moun li yo ki te mouri deja.

18 Pitit pitit Izmayèl yo te rete sou teritwa ki konmanse depi Avila rive jouk Chou, anfas peyi Lejip sou bò solèy leve a, anvan ou pran peyi Lasiri. Yo t'ap viv pou kont yo. Yo pa t' mele ak rès fanmi yo.

19 ¶ Men istwa Izarak, pitit Abraram.

20 Abraram te papa Izarak. Izarak te gen karantan lè li marye ak Rebeka ki te pitit fi Betwèl, moun lavil Aram, ki te rete nan peyi Mezopotami an. Rebeka te sè Laban, moun lavil Aram.

21 Madanm Izarak pa t' ka fè pitit. Izarak lapriyè Seyè a pou li, Seyè a reponn li. Rebeka, madanm li, vin ansent.

22 De ti pitit yo t'ap plede goumen nan vant li. Rebeka di: -Si se konsa sa ye, mwen pa konprann anyen? li al lapriyè Seyè a.

23 Seyè a reponn li: -Ou gen de nasyon nan vant ou. W'ap fè de pèp: chak ap pran bò pa yo. Yonn p'ap vle wè lòt. Yonn ap pi gwonèg pase lòt. Pi gran an pral sou zòd pi piti a.

24 Lè jou pou Rebeka akouche a rive, li fè de marasa.

25 Premye ki te fèt la te tout wouj. Li te kouvri ak pwal sou tout kò l'. Se poutèt sa yo te rele l' Ezaou.

26 Lè dezyèm lan te fèt, men li te kenbe Ezaou nan talon pye l': se poutèt sa yo rele l' Jakòb. Izarak te gen swasantan sou tèt li lè yo te fèt.

27 Timoun yo grandi. Ezaou te vin yon bon chasè, li te toujou nan bwa. Men Jakòb te yon nonm byen dousman, li te renmen rete lakay.

28 Izarak te pito Ezaou, paske li te renmen manje vyann jibye, men Rebeka te pito Jakòb.

29 ¶ Yon jou, Jakòb te fin kwit yon bon bouyon, Ezaou antre sot nan jaden, li te bouke anpil.

30 Li di Jakòb konsa: -M'ap mouri grangou. Tanpri, ban m' ti gout nan bouyon pwa wouj ou a. Se poutèt sa yo te bay Ezaou yon lòt ti non. Yo te rele l' Edon.

31 Men Jakòb di l': -M'ap ba ou ti gout si ou vann mwen dwa ou kòm premye pitit.

32 Ezaou reponn: -Dakò. Mwen pral mouri. Kisa dwa kòm premye pitit la ap sèvi m'?

33 Jakòb di li: -Fè m' sèman anvan. Ezaou fè sèman ba li, li vann li dwa l' kòm premye pitit.

34 Lèfini, Jakòb ba li pen ak ti gout nan bouyon pwa a. Ezaou manje, li bwè. Li leve, li pati. Konsa, Ezaou te konsidere dwa li kòm premye pitit pou anyen.

The Death of Abraham(A)

25 Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore him Zimran,(B) Jokshan, Medan, Midian,(C) Ishbak and Shuah.(D) Jokshan was the father of Sheba(E) and Dedan;(F) the descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites. The sons of Midian were Ephah,(G) Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.

Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.(H) 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)

Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years.(L) 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) 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.
