Genesis 25

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 In truth, Abraham took another wife, named Keturah.	1 ED Abrahamo prese un’altra moglie, il cui nome era Chetura.
2 And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.	2 Ed ella gli partorì Zimran, e Iocsan, e Medan, e Madian, e Isbac, e Sua.
3 Likewise, Jokshan conceived Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.	3 E Iocsan generò Seba e Dedan. Ed i figliuoli di Dedan furono Assurim, e Letusim, e Leummim.
4 And truly, from Midian was born Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.	4 Ed i figliuoli di Madian furono Efa, ed Efer ed Hanoc, ed Abida, ed Eldaa. Tutti questi furono figliuoli di Chetura.
5 And Abraham gave everything that he possessed to Isaac.	5 Ed Abrahamo donò tutto il suo avere ad Isacco.
6 But to the sons of the concubines he gave generous gifts, and he separated them from his son Isaac, while he still lived, toward the eastern region.	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 Now the days of Abraham’s life were one hundred and seventy-five years.	7 Or il tempo della vita di Abrahamo fu di centosettanta cinque anni.
8 And declining, he died in a good old age, and at an advanced stage of life, and full of days. And he was gathered to his people.	8 Poi trapassò, e morì in buona vecchiezza, attempato, e sazio di vita: e fu raccolto a’ suoi popoli.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron, of the son of Zohar the Hittite, across from the region of Mamre,	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 which he had bought from the sons of Heth. There he was buried, with his wife Sarah.	10 ch’è il campo che Abrahamo avea comperato da’ figliuoli di Het; quivi fu seppellito Abrahamo, e Sara, sua moglie
11 And after his passing, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near the well named ‘of the One who lives and who sees.’	11 Ora, dopo che Abrahamo fu morto, Iddio benedisse Isacco, suo figliuolo; e Isacco abitò presso del Pozzo del Vivente che mi vede.
12 These are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to him.	12 OR queste sono le generazioni d’Ismaele, figliuolo di Abrahamo, il quale Agar Egizia, serva di Sara, avea partorito ad Abrahamo.
13 And these are the names of his sons according to their language and generations. The firstborn of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,	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 likewise Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,	14 e Misma, e Duma, e Massa;
15 Hadad, and Tema, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Kedemah.	15 ed Hadar, e Tema, e Ietur, e Nafis, e Chedma.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael. And these are their names throughout their fortresses and towns: the twelve princes of their tribes.	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 And the years of the life of Ishmael that passed were one hundred and thirty-seven. And declining, he died and was placed with his people.	17 E gli anni della vita d’Ismaele furono centrentasette; poi trapassò, e morì, e fu raccolto a’ suoi popoli.
18 Now he had lived from Havilah as far as Shur, which overlooks Egypt as it approaches the Assyrians. He passed away in the sight of all his brothers.	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 Likewise, these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham conceived Isaac,	19 E QUESTE sono le generazioni d’Isacco, figliuolo di Abrahamo:
20 who, when he was forty years old, took Rebekah, the sister of Laban, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian from Mesopotamia, as a wife.	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 And Isaac beseeched the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And he heard him, and he gave conception to Rebekah.	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 But the little ones struggled in her womb. So she said, “If it was to be so with me, what need was there to conceive?” And she went to consult the Lord.	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 And responding, he said, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be divided out of your womb, and one people will overcome the other people, and the elder will serve the younger.”	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 Now the time had arrived to give birth, and behold, twins were discovered in her womb.	24 E quando fu compiuto il termine di essa da partorire, ecco, due gemelli erano nel suo seno.
25 He who departed first was red, and entirely hairy like a pelt; and his name was called Esau. At once the other departed and he held his brother’s foot in his hand; and because of this he was called Jacob.	25 E il primo uscì fuori, ed era rosso, tutto peloso come un mantel velluto; e gli fu posto nome Esaù.
26 Isaac was sixty years old when the little ones were born to him.	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 And as adults, Esau became a knowledgeable hunter and a man of agriculture, but Jacob, a simple man, dwelt in tents.	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 Isaac was fond of Esau, because he was fed from his hunting; and Rebekah loved Jacob.	28 E Isacco amava Esaù; perciocchè le selvaggine erano di suo gusto; e Rebecca amava Giacobbe
29 Then Jacob boiled a small meal. Esau, when he had arrived weary from the field,	29 Ora, concendo Giacobbe una minestra, Esaù giunse da’ campi, ed era stanco.
30 said to him, “Give me this red stew, for I am very tired.” For this reason, his name was called Edom.	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 Jacob said to him, “Sell me your right of the firstborn.”	31 E Giacobbe gli disse: Vendimi oggi la tua primogenitura.
32 He answered, “Lo, I am dying, what will the right of the firstborn provide for me?”	32 Ed Esaù disse: Ecco, io me ne vo alla morte, che mi gioverà la primogenitura?
33 Jacob said, “So then, swear to me.” Esau swore to him, and he sold his right of the firstborn.	33 E Giacobbe disse: Giurami oggi che tu me la vendi. Ed Esaù gliel giurò; e vendette la sua primogenitura a Giacobbe.
34 And so, taking bread and the food of lentils, he ate, and he drank, and he went away, giving little weight to having sold the right of the firstborn.	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
