Yaratılış 25

¹İbrahim bir kez daha evlenerek adı Ketura olan bir kadın aldı.

²Kadın ona Zombran'ı, Yezan'ı, Madal'ı, Midyan'ı, Yesbok'u ve Suye'yi doğurdu.

³Yezan'ın ise Teman, Saba ve Dedan adında çocukları oldu; Dedan'ın oğulları ise Raguel, Nabdeil, Aşurim, Latusim ve Laomim'di.

⁴Midyan'ın oğulları Gefar, Afir, Enok, Abira ve Eldaga'ydı. Bunların hepsi Ketura'nın soyundandı.

⁵İbrahim sahip olduğu tüm varlıklarını oğlu İshak'a verdi.

⁶Ancak cariyelerinin oğullarına armağanlar verdi ve kendisi henüz hayattayken onları oğlu İshak'ın yanından uzaklaştırarak doğuya, doğu topraklarına gönderdi.

⁷İbrahim'in yaşadığı ömrün yıllarının toplamı yüz yetmiş beş yıldı.

⁸İbrahim gücünü yitirip güzel bir yaşlılıkta, yaşlanmış ve günlere doymuş olarak öldü ve kendi halkına katıldı.

⁹Oğulları İshak ile İsmail onu Mamre'nin karşısında, Hitti Saar oğlu Efron'un tarlasında bulunan çift mağaraya gömdüler.

¹⁰Bu tarla ve mağara, İbrahim'in Het oğullarından mülk edindiği yerdi; İbrahim ile karısı Sara oraya gömüldüler.

¹¹İbrahim'in ölümünden sonra Tanrı, oğlu İshak'ı kutsadı; İshak, Görüm Kuyusu'nun yakınında yaşadı.

¹²Sara'nın Mısırlı cariyesi Hacer'in İbrahim'e doğurduğu, İbrahim'in oğlu İsmail'in soyları şudur:

¹³Kuşaklarına göre adlarıyla İsmail'in oğullarının isimleri şunlardır: İsmail'in ilk doğanı Nebayot, sonra Kedar, Nabdeel ve Mabsam,

¹⁴Masma, Duma ve Masse,

¹⁵Hoddan, Teman, Yetur, Nafes ve Kedma.

¹⁶Çadırlarında ve obalarında yaşayan İsmail'in oğulları ve bunların adları bunlardı; uluslarına göre on iki önderdiler.

¹⁷İsmail'in yaşadığı ömrün yılları yüz otuz yedi yıldı; gücünü yitirip öldü ve kendi soyuna katıldı.

¹⁸Soyu, Mısır'ın önündeki Havila'dan Şur'a, Asurlulara giden yol üzerine kadar yerleşti; hepsi kardeşlerinin karşısında yaşadı.

¹⁹İbrahim'in oğlu İshak'ın soyları şudur:

²⁰İbrahim İshak'ın babasıydı. İshak, Suriye Mezopotamya'sından Suriyeli Betuel'in kızı, Suriyeli Laban'ın kız kardeşi Rebeka'yı kendisine eş olarak aldığında kırk yaşındaydı.

²¹İshak, karısı Rebeka için Rab'be yalvarıyordu, çünkü karısı kısırdı; Tanrı onun yakarışını işitti ve karısı Rebeka rahminde gebe kaldı.

²²Çocuklar rahminde birbirini hırpalıyordu; Rebeka, "Eğer başıma böyle gelecektiyse, bu durum benim için niye?" dedi ve Rab'be danışmaya gitti.

²³Rab ona şöyle dedi: "Rahminde iki ulus var, bedeninden iki ayrı halk ayrılacak; bir halk diğer halktan üstün olacak ve büyük olan küçük olana kulluk edecek."

²⁴Doğuracağı günler tamamlanınca, rahminde gerçekten ikizler olduğu görüldü.

²⁵İlk doğan kızıl ve her yanı tüylü bir post gibi çıktı; ona Esav adını verdiler.

²⁶Ondan sonra kardeşi çıktı; eliyle Esav'ın topuğunu kavramış durumdaydı; bu yüzden ona Yakup adı verildi. Rebeka onları doğurduğunda İshak altmış yaşındaydı.

²⁷Oğlanlar büyüdü; Esav avlanmayı bilen, kırda yaşayan yabanıl bir adam oldu; Yakup ise evde oturan, sade ve dürüst bir adamdı.

²⁸İshak Esav'ı severdi, çünkü onun avı kendisi için yiyecekti; Rebeka ise Yakup'u seviyordu.

²⁹Bir gün Yakup bir yemek haşlarken, Esav kırdan bitkin bir halde geldi.

³⁰Esav Yakup'a, "Lütfen bana şu kızıl haşlamadan tattır, çünkü çok bitkinim" dedi; bu yüzden ona Edom adı verildi.

³¹Yakup, "Bugün bana ilk doğanlık haklarını sat" dedi.

³²Esav, "İşte ben ölmeye doğru gidiyorum, bu ilk doğanlık hakları ne işime yarar?" dedi.

³³Yakup, "Bugün bana yemin et" dedi; Esav ona yemin etti ve ilk doğanlık haklarını Yakup'a sattı.

³⁴Yakup Esav'a ekmek ve mercimek haşlaması verdi; Esav yedi, içti, sonra kalkıp gitti; böylece Esav ilk doğanlık haklarını değersiz gördü.

¹ΠΡΟΣΘΕΜΕΝΟΣ δὲ ῾Αβραὰμ ἔλαβε γυναῖκα, ἧ ὄνομα Χεττούρα.

²ἔτεκε δὲ αὐτῷ τὸν Ζομβρᾶν καὶ τὸν ᾿Ιεζὰν καὶ τὸν Μαδὰλ καὶ τὸν Μαδιὰμ καὶ τὸν ᾿Ιεσβὼκ καὶ τὸν Σωυέ.

³Ἰεζὰν δὲ ἐγέννησε καὶ τὸν Θαιμὰν τὸν Σαβὰ καὶ τὸν Δεδάν· υἱοὶ δὲ Δεδὰν ἐγένοντο Ραγουὴλ καὶ Ναβδεὴλ καὶ ᾿Ασσουριεὶμ καὶ Λατουσιεὶμ καὶ Λαωμείμ.

⁴υἱοὶ δὲ Μαδιὰμ Γεφὰρ καὶ ᾿Αφεὶρ καὶ ᾿Ενὼχ καὶ ᾿Αβειρὰ καὶ ᾿Ελδαγά. πάντες οὗτοι ἦσαν υἱοὶ Χεττούρας.

⁵῎Εδωκε δὲ ῾Αβραὰμ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ ᾿Ισαὰκ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ,

⁶καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν παλλακῶν αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν ῾Αβραὰμ δόματα καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ᾿Ισαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἔτι ζῶντος αὐτοῦ, πρὸς ἀνατολὰς εἰς γῆν ἀνατολῶν.

⁷ταῦτα δὲ τὰ ἔτη ἡμερῶν τῆς ζωῆς ῾Αβραὰμ ὅσα ἔζησεν, ἑκατὸν ἑβδομηκονταπέντε ἔτη.

⁸καὶ ἐκλείπων ἀπέθανεν ῾Αβραὰμ ἐν γήρᾳ καλῷ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.

⁹καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ ᾿Ισμαὴλ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν, εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν ᾿Εφρὼν τοῦ Σαὰρ τοῦ Χετταίου, ὅς ἐστιν ἀπέναντι Μαμβρῆ,

¹⁰τὸν ἀγρὸν καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον, ὃ ἐκτήσατο ῾Αβραὰμ παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ Χέτ, ἐκεῖ ἔθαψαν ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ Σάρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ.

¹¹ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν ῾Αβραάμ, εὐλόγησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν ᾿Ισαὰκ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ κατῴκησεν ᾿Ισαὰκ παρὰ τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ὁράσεως.

¹²Αὗται δὲ αἱ γενέσεις ᾿Ισμαὴλ τοῦ υἱοῦ ῾Αβραάμ, ὃν ἔτεκεν ῎Αγαρ ἡ Αἰγυπτία ἡ παιδίσκη Σάρρας τῷ ῾Αβραάμ.

¹³καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισμαὴλ κατ᾿ ὀνόματα τῶν γενεῶν αὐτοῦ· πρωτότοκος ᾿Ισμαὴλ Ναβαιώθ, καὶ Κηδὰρ καὶ Ναβδεὴλ καὶ Μασσὰμ

¹⁴καὶ Μασμὰ καὶ Δουμὰ καὶ Μασσῆ

¹⁵καὶ Χοδδὰν καὶ Θαιμὰν καὶ ᾿Ιετοὺρ καὶ Ναφὲς καὶ Κεδμά.

¹⁶οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισμαὴλ καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς σκηναῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐπαύλεσιν αὐτῶν· δώδεκα ἄρχοντες κατὰ ἔθνη αὐτῶν.

¹⁷καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ἔτη τῆς ζωῆς ᾿Ισμαήλ· ἑκατὸν τριακονταεπτὰ ἔτη· καὶ ἐκλείπων ἀπέθανε καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ.

¹⁸κατῴκησε δὲ ἀπὸ Εὐϊλὰτ ἕως Σούρ, ἥ ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον Αἰγύπτου, ἕως ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ᾿Ασσυρίους· κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ κατῴκησε.

¹⁹Καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις ᾿Ισαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ ῾Αβραάμ·

²⁰῾Αβραὰμ ἐγέννησε τὸν ᾿Ισαάκ. ἦν δὲ ᾿Ισαὰκ ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα, ὅτε ἔλαβε τὴν Ρεβέκκαν θυγατέρα Βαθουὴλ τοῦ Σύρου ἐκ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας Συρίας, ἀδελφὴν Λάβαν τοῦ Σύρου, ἑαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα.

²¹ἐδέετο δὲ ᾿Ισαὰκ Κυρίου περὶ Ρεβέκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι στεῖρα ἦν· ἐπήκουσε δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ Θεός, καὶ συνέλαβεν ἐν γαστρὶ Ρεβέκκα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ.

²²ἐσκίρτων δὲ τὰ παιδία ἐν αὐτῇ· εἶπε δέ, εἰ οὕτω μοι μέλλει γίνεσθαι, ἵνα τί μοι τοῦτο; ἐπορεύθη δὲ πυθέσθαι παρὰ Κυρίου.

²³καὶ εἶπε Κύριος αὐτῇ· δύο ἔθνη ἐν γαστρί σου εἰσί, καὶ δύο λαοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας σου διασταλήσονται· καὶ λαὸς λαοῦ ὑπερέξει, καὶ ὁ μείζων δουλεύσει τῷ ἐλάσσονι.

²⁴καὶ ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, καὶ τῇδε ἦν δίδυμα ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς.

²⁵ἐξῆλθε δὲ ὁ πρωτότοκος πυρράκης, ὅλος ὡσεὶ δορὰ δασύς· ἐπωνόμασε δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ῾Ησαῦ.

²⁶καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐπειλημμένη τῆς πτέρνης ῾Ησαῦ· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιακώβ. ᾿Ισαὰκ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα, ὅτε ἔτεκεν αὐτοὺς Ρεβέκκα.

²⁷Ηὐξήθησαν δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι, καὶ ἦν ῾Ησαῦ ἄνθρωπος εἰδὼς κυνηγεῖν, ἄγροικος, ᾿Ιακὼβ δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἄπλαστος, οἰκῶν οἰκίαν.

²⁸ἠγάπησε δὲ ᾿Ισαὰκ τὸν ῾Ησαῦ, ὅτι ἡ θήρα αὐτοῦ βρῶσις αὐτῷ· Ρεβέκκα δὲ ἠγάπα τὸν ᾿Ιακώβ.

²⁹ἥψησε δὲ ᾿Ιακὼβ ἕψημα· ἦλθε δὲ ῾Ησαῦ ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου ἐκλείπων,

³⁰καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ησαῦ τῷ ᾿Ιακώβ· γεῦσόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἑψήματος τοῦ πυρροῦ τούτου, ὅτι ἐκλείπω. διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ᾿Εδώμ.

³¹εἶπε δὲ ᾿Ιακὼβ τῷ ῾Ησαῦ· ἀπόδου μοι σήμερον τὰ πρωτοτόκιά σου ἐμοί.

³²καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ησαῦ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι τελευτᾶν, καὶ ἵνα τί μοι ταῦτα τὰ πρωτοτόκια;

³³καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Ιακώβ· ὄμοσόν μοι σήμερον. καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ· ἀπέδοτο δὲ ῾Ησαῦ τὰ πρωτοτόκια τῷ ᾿Ιακώβ.

³⁴᾿Ιακὼβ δὲ ἔδωκε τῷ ῾Ησαῦ ἄρτον καὶ ἕψημα φακοῦ, καὶ ἔφαγε καὶ ἔπιε καὶ ἀναστὰς ᾤχετο· καὶ ἐφαύλισεν ῾Ησαῦ τὰ πρωτοτόκια.

¹AND Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.

²And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.

³And Jezan begot Thaeman and Saba and Daedan. And the sons of Daedan were Ragouel and Nabdeil and the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.

⁴And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeira, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.

⁵But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.

⁶But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east.

⁷And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.

⁸And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.

⁹And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre:

¹⁰[even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.

¹¹And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac dwelt by the well of the vision.

¹²And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the hand-maid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.

¹³And these [are] the names of the sons of Ismael, according to the names of their generations. The firstborn of Ismael, Nabaioth, and Kedar, and Nabdeel, and Massam,

¹⁴and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,

¹⁵and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.

¹⁶These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.

¹⁷And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.

¹⁸And he dwelt from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.

¹⁹And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.

²⁰Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.

²¹And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.

²²And the babes leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of the Lord.

²³And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.

²⁴And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.

²⁵And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.

²⁶And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them.

²⁷And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.

²⁸And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.

²⁹And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.

³⁰And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.

³¹And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright.

³²And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me?

³³And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.

³⁴And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.
