NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Ceturam,	1 Abraham married another wife, whose name was Keturah.
2 quae peperit ei Zamran et Iecsan et Madan et Madian et Iesboc et Sue.	2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Iecsan quoque genuit Saba et Dedan. Filii Dedan fuerunt Assurim et Latusim et Loommim.	3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshurim, the Letushim, and the Leummim.
4 At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha et Opher et Henoch et Abida et Eldaa. Omnes hi filii Ceturae.	4 The descendants of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All of these were descendants of Keturah.
5 Deditque Abraham cuncta, quae possederat, Isaac;	5 Abraham deeded everything that he owned to his son Isaac.
6 filiis autem concubinarum suarum largitus est munera et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem.	6 To his sons by concubinage, however, he made grants while he was still living, as he sent them away eastward, to the land of Kedem, away from his son Isaac.
7 Fuerunt autem dies vitae Abrahae centum septuaginta quinque anni.	7 The whole span of Abraham's life was one hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Et deficiens mortuus est Abraham in senectute bona provectaeque aetatis et plenus dierum congregatusque est ad populum suum.	8 Then he breathed his last, dying at a ripe old age, grown old after a full life; and he was taken to his kinsmen.
9 Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismael filii sui in spelunca Machpela, quae sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hetthaei e regione Mambre,	9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, son of Zohar the Hittite, which faces Mamre,
10 quem emerat a filiis Heth. Ibi sepultus est ipse et Sara uxor eius.	10 the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites; there he was buried next to his wife Sarah.
11 Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio eius, qui habitabat iuxta puteum Lahairoi.	11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac, who made his home near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Hae sunt generationes Ismael filii Abrahae, quem peperit ei Agar Aegyptia famula Sarae.	12 These are the descendants of Abraham's son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's slave, bore to Abraham.
13 Et haec nomina filiorum Ismael in vocabulis et generationibus suis: primogenitus Ismaelis Nabaioth, dein Cedar et Adbeel et Mabsam,	13 These are the names of Ishmael's sons, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth (Ishmael's firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Masma quoque et Duma et Massa,	14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad et Thema, Iethur et Naphis et Cedma.	15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Isti sunt filii Ismaelis, et haec nomina eorum per vicos et mansiones eorum: duodecim principes tribuum suarum.	16 These are the sons of Ishmael, their names by their villages and encampments; twelve chieftains of as many tribal groups.
17 Et facti sunt anni vitae Ismaelis centum triginta septem; deficiens mortuus est et appositus ad populum suum.	17 The span of Ishmael's life was one hundred and thirty-seven years. After he had breathed his last and died, he was taken to his kinsmen.
18 Habitaverunt autem ab Hevila usque Sur, quae respicit Aegyptum introeuntibus Assyriam. In faciem cunctorum fratrum suorum obiit.	18 The Ishmaelites ranged from Havilah-by-Shur, which is on the border of Egypt, all the way to Asshur; and each of them pitched camp in opposition to his various kinsmen.
19 Hae sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac;	19 This is the family history of Isaac, son of Abraham; Abraham had begotten Isaac.
20 qui, cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Aramaei de Paddanaram, sororem Laban Aramaei.	20 Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis. Qui exaudivit eum et dedit conceptum Rebeccae.	21 Isaac entreated the LORD on behalf of his wife, since she was sterile. The LORD heard his entreaty, and Rebekah became pregnant.
22 Sed collidebantur in utero eius parvuli. Quae ait: “Si sic est, cur mihi?”. Perrexitque, ut consuleret Dominum.	22 But the children in her womb jostled each other so much that she exclaimed, "If this is to be so, what good will it do me!" She went to consult the LORD,
23 Qui respondens ait: “Duae gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur; populusque populum superabit, et maior serviet minori”.	23 and he answered her: "Two nations are in your womb, two peoples are quarreling while still within you; But one shall surpass the other, and the older shall serve the younger."
24 Iam tempus pariendi venerat, et ecce gemini in utero eius.	24 When the time of her delivery came, there were twins in her womb.
25 Qui primus egressus est rufus erat et totus quasi pallium pilosum; vocatumque est nomen eius Esau. Postea frater eius egrediens plantam Esau tenebat manu, et idcirco appellatum est nomen eius Iacob.	25 The first to emerge was reddish, and his whole body was like a hairy mantle; so they named him Esau.
26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac, quando nati sunt parvuli.	26 His brother came out next, gripping Esau's heel; so they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi et homo agrestis; Iacob autem vir compositus et habitans in tabernaculis.	27 As the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man who lived in the open; whereas Jacob was a simple man, who kept to his tents.
28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius libenter vesceretur; et Rebecca diligebat Iacob.	28 Isaac preferred Esau, because he was fond of game; but Rebekah preferred Jacob.
29 Coxit autem Iacob pulmentum; ad quem, cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,	29 Once, when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the open, famished.
30 ait: “Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum”. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen eius Edom (id est Rufus).	30 He said to Jacob, "Let me gulp down some of that red stuff; I'm starving." (That is why he was called Edom.)
31 Cui dixit Iacob: “Vende mihi prius primogenita tua”.	31 But Jacob replied, "First give me your birthright in exchange for it."
32 Ille respondit: “En morior; quid mihi proderunt primogenita?”.	32 "Look," said Esau, "I'm on the point of dying. What good will any birthright do me?"
33 Ait Iacob: “Iura ergo mihi”. Iuravit et vendidit primogenita.	33 But Jacob insisted, "Swear to me first!" So he sold Jacob his birthright under oath.
34 Et sic, accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit et bibit; surrexit et abiit parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.	34 Jacob then gave him some bread and the lentil stew; and Esau ate, drank, got up, and went his way. Esau cared little for his birthright.
