Postanak 25

Studie

   

1 Abraham je sebi uzeo još jednu ženu; zvala se Ketura.

2 Ona mu je rodila Zimrana, Jokšana, Medana, Midjana, Jišbaka i Šuaha.

3 A od Jokšana rodili se Šeba i Dedan. Dedanovi su potomci: Ašurci, Letušci i Leumci.

4 Sinovi su Midjanovi: Efa, Efer, Hanok, Abida i Eldaa. Sve su to potomci Keturini.

5 Abraham prenese sav svoj imutak na Izaka;

6 a sinovima od svojih suložnica dade Abraham samo darove i još ih za svoga života razašalje po istoku - daleko od svog sina Izaka - u Istočni kraj.

7 Ovo je duljina Abrahamova života što ga je proživio: stotinu sedamdeset i pet godina.

8 Zatim Abraham preminu, umrije u sretnoj dobi - star i pun godina - te bi pridružen svojim precima.

9 Njegovi sinovi, Izak i Jišmael, sahrane ga u spilji Makpeli, na poljani Efrona, sina Hetita Sohara, nasuprot Mamri:

10 to je poljana što ju je Abraham kupio od Hetovih sinova. Ondje je sahranjen Abraham i njegova žena Sara.

11 Poslije Abrahamove smrti Bog je blagoslivljao njegova sina Izaka. Izak je živio blizu Beer Lahaj Roja.

12 Ovo je povijest Abrahamova sina Jišmaela, koga je Abrahamu rodila Sarina sluškinja, Egipćanka Hagara.

13 A ovo su sinovi Jišmaelovi, svaki po svom imenu i po svom rođenju: Jišmaelov prvenac Nebajot, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 Mišma, Duma, Masa,

15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafiš i Kedma.

16 To su Jišmaelovi sinovi i to su njihova imena prema njihovim naseljima i taborištima: dvanaest poglavica od isto toliko plemena.

17 A ovo je duljina Jišmaelova života: stotinu trideset i sedam godina. Zatim izdahnu; umrije i bi pridružen svojim precima.

18 Potomstvo mu se naselilo od Havile do Šura, koji je na istok Egiptu idući prema Ašuru. Nastaniše se nasuprot svojoj braći.

19 Ovo je povijest Abrahamova sina Izaka: Izak se rodio od Abrahama.

20 Izaku je bilo četrdeset godina kad se oženio Rebekom, kćerkom Aramejca Betuela iz Padan Arama, a sestrom Aramejca Labana.

21 Izak se obrati Jahvi za svoju ženu jer je bila nerotkinja. Jahve ga usliša te njegova žena Rebeka zače.

22 No djeca se u njezinoj utrobi tako sudarala te ona uzviknu: "Ako je tako, zašto ću živjeti!" Ode, dakle, da se posavjetuje s Jahvom.

23 I Jahve joj reče: "Dva su svijeta u utrobi tvojoj; Dva će se naroda iz tvog krila odijeliti. Narod će nad narodom gospodovati, stariji će služiti mlađemu."

24 Došlo vrijeme da rodi, kad gle - blizanci u njezinoj utrobi.

25 Pojavi se prvi. Bio je crven; sav runjav kao ogrtač. Stoga mu nadjenuše ime Ezav.

26 Potom se pojavi njegov brat. Rukom se držao Ezavu za petu. Zato mu nadjenuše ime Jakov. Izaku je bilo šezdeset godina kad su oni rođeni.

27 Kad su dječaci odrasli, Ezav postane vješt lovac, čovjek pustare. Jakov je bio čovjek krotak i boravio je u šatorima.

28 Izaku je Ezav bio draži jer je volio divljač, a Rebeka je više voljela Jakova.

29 Jednom Jakov kuhaše jelo. Ezav stigne s polja, gladan.

30 Reče Ezav Jakovu: "Daj mi toga crvenog variva da pojedem jer sam izgladnio." Stoga mu je ime Edom.

31 A Jakov odgovori: "Ustupi mi prije svoje prvorodstvo!"

32 Ezav reče: "Evo me skoro na smrti; što će mi prvorodstvo!"

33 Jakov nastavi: "Prije mi se zakuni!" On mu se zakune, i tako proda Jakovu svoje prvorodstvo.

34 Tada Jakov dade Ezavu kruha i čorbe od sočivice. Jeo je i pio, onda se digao i otišao. Tako Ezav pogazi svoje prvorodstvo.

3230. Genesis 25

1. And Abraham took another wife; and her name was Keturah.

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

3. And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

4. And the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher, and Enoch, 1 and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.

5. And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

6. And to the concubines' sons, whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from being with Isaac his son - while he was still living - eastwards to the land of the east.

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

8. And Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full [of years]; and he was gathered to his peoples.

9. And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which faced Mamre.

10. The field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth, there Abraham was buried and Sarah his wife.

11. And so it was after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt in 2 Beer Lahai Roi.

12. And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant-girl, bore to Abraham.

13. And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: Nebaioth, Ishmael's firstborn, and Kedar, and Abdeel, and Mibsam;

14. And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa;

15. Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16. And these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their villages, and in their fortified places; twelve princes of their peoples.

17. And these are the years of Ishmael's life, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his peoples.

18. And they resided from Havilah as far as Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you come towards Asshur. [His lot] fell opposite all his brothers.

19. And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac.

20. And Isaac was a son of forty years when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.

21. And Isaac prayed to Jehovah on behalf of his wife because she was barren; and Jehovah granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22. And the sons struggled together within her, and she said, If this is so, why am I [going through this]? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

23. And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from your bowels, and [one] people will prevail over [the other] people, and the greater will serve the less.

24. And her days for bringing forth were completed, and behold, there were twins in her womb.

25. And the first came out, ruddy all over, like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26. And after that his brother came out, and his hand was grasping Esau's heel; and he called his name Jacob. And Isaac was a son of sixty years when she bore them.

27. And the boys grew up, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a blameless man, dwelling in tents.

28. And Isaac loved Esau because of the venison 3 in his mouth; and Rebekah loved Jacob.

29. And Jacob boiled pottage; and Esau came from the field, and he was weary.

30. And Esau said to Jacob, Let me sip now from the red [pottage], this red [pottage], for I am weary. Therefore he called his name Edom.

31. And Jacob said, Sell me - as if today - your birthright.

32. And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; so what is this birthright to me?

33. And Jacob said, Swear to me, as if today; and he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

34. And Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil pottage; and he ate, and drank, and he rose up, and went. And Esau despised the birthright.
