Genesi 25

BIBBIA RICCIOTTI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 - Abramo poi prese un'altra moglie, di nome Cetura,	1 In truth, Abraham took another wife, named Keturah.
2 che gli partorì Zamram, Iecstan, Madan, Madian, Iesboc e Sue.	2 And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Iecsan generò Saba e Dadan. Figli di Dadan furono gli Assurim, i Latusim ed i Loomim.	3 Likewise, Jokshan conceived Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 Da Madian poi nacquero Efa, Ofer, Henoc, Abida ed Eldaa: tutti questi discesero da Cetura.	4 And truly, from Midian was born Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.
5 Dette Abramo tutti i suoi beni ad Isacco;	5 And Abraham gave everything that he possessed to Isaac.
6 ai figli delle altre sue donne assegnò pure dei doni, ma mentre ancora viveva li separò dal figlio Isacco [inviandoli] nella regione orientale.	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.
7 Furono dunque i giorni della vita d'Abramo centosettantacinque anni.	7 Now the days of Abraham’s life were one hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Venuto meno, morì in buona vecchiaia, di grande età, pieno di anni, ed andò a riunirsi al suo popolo.	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.
9 Isacco ed Ismaele suoi figli lo seppellirono nella spelonca doppia situata nel campo di Efron, figlio di Seor heteo nella regione di Mambre,	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,
10 ch'egli aveva comprato dai figli di Het. Ivi fu egli sepolto con Sara sua moglie.	10 which he had bought from the sons of Heth. There he was buried, with his wife Sarah.
11 E dopo la sua morte, Dio benedisse il figlio di lui, Isacco, che abitava presso il pozzo "Di chi vive e vede".	11 And after his passing, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near the well named ‘of the One who lives and who sees.’
12 È questa la discendenza di Ismaele figlio di Abramo, partoritogli da Agar egiziana, serva di Sar;	12 These are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to him.
13 questi sono i nomi de' figli di lui, secondo il loro nome ed ordine: primogenito di Ismaele fu Nabaiot; di poi, Cedar, Adbeel, Mabsam,	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,
14 Masma, Duma, Massa,	14 likewise Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Nafis, e Cedma.	15 Hadad, and Tema, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Questi sono i figli di Ismaele, dodici capi d'altrettante tribù, e questi i loro nomi, dati anche ai loro borghi ed accampamenti.	16 These are the sons of Ishmael. And these are their names throughout their fortresses and towns: the twelve princes of their tribes.
17 Gli anni della vita d'Ismaele furono centotrentasette; poi venne meno, morì, e si ricongiunse a' suoi maggiori.	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.
18 Dimorò [nella regione] di Hevila e Sur, che guarda l'Egitto per chi è diretto in Assiria. Morì, presenti tutti i suoi fratelli.	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.
19 Questa è la discendenza di Isacco figlio di Abramo. Abramo generò Isacco;	19 Likewise, these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham conceived Isaac,
20 il quale, in età di quarant'anni, prese in moglie Rebecca, figlia di Batuel siro di Mesopotamia, sorella di Labano.	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.
21 Isacco pregava il Signore per la moglie sua, perchè era sterile. Ed il Signore l'esaudì, e dette a Rebecca di concepire.	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.
22 Ma i piccoli le si urtavano nel seno; perciò disse: «Se così mi doveva accadere, che importava il concepire?». E andò a consultare il Signore.	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.
23 Il quale le rispose: «Due nazioni ti stanno in seno; due popoli usciti dalle tue viscere si divideranno; un popolo soggiogherà l'altro, ed il maggiore servirà il minore».	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.”
24 Venuto poi il tempo di partorire, ecco due gemelli si trovarono nelle sue viscere.	24 Now the time had arrived to give birth, and behold, twins were discovered in her womb.
25 Quello che uscì per primo era rosso, peloso a mo' d'una pelliccia, e gli fu messo nome Esaù. Poi subito uscì l'altro, il quale con una mano teneva il calcagno del fratello; laonde lo chiamò Giacobbe.	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.
26 Isacco era di sessant'anni quando gli nacquero questi figliuoli.	26 Isaac was sixty years old when the little ones were born to him.
27 Fatti adulti, Esaù divenne uomo appassionato per la caccia, ed amante della campagna; Giacobbe invece, uomo semplice, rimaneva nell'attendamento.	27 And as adults, Esau became a knowledgeable hunter and a man of agriculture, but Jacob, a simple man, dwelt in tents.
28 Isacco amava Esaù, perchè mangiava della sua cacciagione; Rebecca amava Giacobbe.	28 Isaac was fond of Esau, because he was fed from his hunting; and Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Ora Giacobbe si era cotta una minestra; Esaù, tornato stanco dalla campagna gli disse:	29 Then Jacob boiled a small meal. Esau, when he had arrived weary from the field,
30 «Dammi di codesta roba rossa cotta, perchè son stanco della camminata». Perciò gli fu messo nome Edom.	30 said to him, “Give me this red stew, for I am very tired.” For this reason, his name was called Edom.
31 Gli disse Giacobbe: «Vendimi la tua primogenitura».	31 Jacob said to him, “Sell me your right of the firstborn.”
32 Rispose: «Se muoio, a che mi giova la primogenitura?».	32 He answered, “Lo, I am dying, what will the right of the firstborn provide for me?”
33 Disse Giacobbe: «Giuramelo dunque». Esaù glielo giurò, e vendè la sua primogenitura.	33 Jacob said, “So then, swear to me.” Esau swore to him, and he sold his right of the firstborn.
34 Così, preso il pane e la minestra di lenti, mangiò e bevve; poi se ne andò, poco curandosi d'aver venduto la primogenitura.	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.
