1 ED Abrahamo prese un’altra moglie, il cui nome era Chetura.

2 Ed ella gli partorì Zimran, e Iocsan, e Medan, e Madian, e Isbac, e Sua.

3 E Iocsan generò Seba e Dedan. Ed i figliuoli di Dedan furono Assurim, e Letusim, e Leummim.

4 Ed i figliuoli di Madian furono Efa, ed Efer ed Hanoc, ed Abida, ed Eldaa. Tutti questi furono figliuoli di Chetura.

5 Ed Abrahamo donò tutto il suo avere ad Isacco.

6 Ed a’ figliuoli delle sue concubine diede doni; e mentre era in vita, li mandò via d’appresso al suo figliuolo Isacco, verso il Levante, nel paese Orientale.

7 Or il tempo della vita di Abrahamo fu di centosettanta cinque anni.

8 Poi trapassò, e morì in buona vecchiezza, attempato, e sazio di vita: e fu raccolto a’ suoi popoli.

9 E Isacco ed Ismaele, suoi figliuoli, lo seppellirono nella spelonca di Macpela nel campo di Efron, figliuoli di Sohar Hitteo, ch’è dirimpetto a Mamre;

10 ch’è il campo che Abrahamo avea comperato da’ figliuoli di Het; quivi fu seppellito Abrahamo, e Sara, sua moglie.

11 Ora, dopo che Abrahamo fu morto, Iddio benedisse Isacco, suo figliuolo; e Isacco abitò presso del Pozzo del Vivente che mi vede.

12 OR queste sono le generazioni d’Ismaele, figliuolo di Abrahamo, il quale Agar Egizia, serva di Sara, avea partorito ad Abrahamo.

13 E questi sono i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Ismaele secondo i lor nomi nelle lor generazioni: Il primogenito d’Ismaele fu Nebaiot; poi v’era Chedar, ed Adbeel, e Mibsam;

14 e Misma, e Duma, e Massa;

15 ed Hadar, e Tema, e Ietur, e Nafis, e Chedma.

16 Questi furono i figliuoli d’Ismaele, e questi sono i lor nomi, nelle lor villate, e nelle lor castella; e furono dodici principi fra’ lor popoli.

17 E gli anni della vita d’Ismaele furono centrentasette; poi trapassò, e morì, e fu raccolto a’ suoi popoli.

18 Ed i suoi figliuoli abitarono da Havila fin a Sur, ch’è dirimpetto all’Egitto, traendo verso l’Assiria. Il paese di esso gli scadde dirimpetto a tutti i suoi fratelli.

19 E QUESTE sono le generazioni d’Isacco, figliuolo di Abrahamo:

20 Abrahamo generò Isacco. Ed Isacco era d’età di quarant’anni, quando prese per moglie Rebecca, figliuola di Betuel, Sirio, da Paddanaram, e sorella di Labano, Sirio.

21 E Isacco fece orazione al Signore per la sua moglie; perciocchè ella era sterile: e il Signore l’esaudì; e Rebecca sua moglie concepette.

22 Ed i figliuoli si urtavano l’un l’altro nel suo seno. Ed ella disse: Se così è, perchè sono io in vita? E andò a domandarne il Signore.

23 E il Signore le disse: Due nazioni sono nel tuo seno; e Due popoli diversi usciranno delle tue interiora; e l’un popolo sarà più possente dell’altro, e il maggiore servirà al minore.

24 E quando fu compiuto il termine di essa da partorire, ecco, due gemelli erano nel suo seno.

25 E il primo uscì fuori, ed era rosso, tutto peloso come un mantel velluto; e gli fu posto nome Esaù.

26 Appresso uscì il suo fratello, il quale con la mano teneva il calcagno di Esaù; e gli fu posto nome Giacobbe. Or Isacco era d’età di settant’anni, quando ella li partorì.

27 ED i fanciulli crebbero; ed Esaù fu uomo intendente della caccia, uomo di campagna; ma Giacobbe fu uomo semplice, che se ne stava ne’ padiglioni.

28 E Isacco amava Esaù; perciocchè le selvaggine erano di suo gusto; e Rebecca amava Giacobbe.

29 Ora, concendo Giacobbe una minestra, Esaù giunse da’ campi, ed era stanco.

30 Ed Esaù disse a Giacobbe: Deh! dammi a mangiare un po’ di cotesta minestra rossa; perciocchè io sono stanco; perciò egli fu nominato Edom.

31 E Giacobbe gli disse: Vendimi oggi la tua primogenitura.

32 Ed Esaù disse: Ecco, io me ne vo alla morte, che mi gioverà la primogenitura?

33 E Giacobbe disse: Giurami oggi che tu me la vendi. Ed Esaù gliel giurò; e vendette la sua primogenitura a Giacobbe.

34 E Giacobbe diede ad Esaù del pane, ed una minestra di lenticchie. Ed egli mangiò e bevve; poi si levò e se ne andò. Così Esaù sprezzò la primogenitura.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

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.
