Genesis 25

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA TINTORI
1 In truth, Abraham took another wife, named Keturah.	1 Abramo prese poi un'altra moglie chiamata Cetura,
2 And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.	2 Che gli partorì Zamran, Iecsan, Madan, Madian, lesboc e Sue.
3 Likewise, Jokshan conceived Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.	3 Iecsan poi generò Saba e Dadan. I figlioli di Dadan furono Assurim, Latusim e Loomirn.
4 And truly, from Midian was born Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.	4 Da Madian poi nacquero Efa, Ofer, Enoc, Abida ed Eldaa: tutti questi furono figlioli di Cetura.
5 And Abraham gave everything that he possessed to Isaac.	5 E Abramo diede quanto possedeva a 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 ma fece dei doni ai figlioli delle altre sue donne, e mentre era ancora in vita, li separò da Isacco suo figliolo, mandandoli verso l'oriente.
7 Now the days of Abraham’s life were one hundred and seventy-five years.	7 Or la vita d'Abramo giunse a centosettantacinque 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 E Abramo venne meno e morì in buona vecchiezza, in età avanzata e pieno di giorni, e andò ad unirsi al suo popolo.
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 e Ismaele, suoi figlioli, lo seppellirono nella doppia spelonca del campo di Efron, figlio di Seor Eteo, dirimpetto a Mambre
10 which he had bought from the sons of Heth. There he was buried, with his wife Sarah.	10 nel campo che Abramo aveva comprato dai figli di Het. Quivi fu sepolto egli 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 E dopo la morte di Abramo, Dio benedisse Isacco di lui figliolo, il quale dimorò presso il pozzo detto « del Vivente che vede ».
12 These are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to him.	12 Questi sono i discendenti d'Ismaele faglio di Abramo, partorito a lui dall'egiziana Agar, schiava di Sara.
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 dei figli d'Ismaele, secondo i loro nomi, nelle loro generazioni: Nabaiot, il primogenito d'Ismaele, poi Cedar, Adbeel, Mabsam,
14 likewise Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,	14 Masma, Duma, Massa,
15 Hadad, and Tema, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Kedemah.	15 Adar, Tema, IeturNafìs e Cedma.
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 sono i figli d'Ismaele, e questi i loro nomi, secondo i loro villaggi e i loro accampamenti: essi furono dodici principi delle loro tribù.
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 Or gli anni della vita d'Ismaele furono centotrentasette, poi venne meno e morì, e andò a raggiungere il suo popolo.
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 Egli abitò da Evila fino a Sur, che è dirimpetto all'Egitto, andando verso l'Assiria. Egli morì presenti tutti i suoi fratelli.
19 Likewise, these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham conceived Isaac,	19 Questi sono i discendenti d'Isacco, figlio di Abramo. Abramo generò Isacco,
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 e Isacco aveva quarantanni quando sposò Rebecca, figlia di Batuel Siro della Mesopotamia, e sorella di Labano.
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 preghiere al Signore per la sua moglie che era sterile; e il Signore lo esaudì e fece che Rebecca concepisse.
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 Ma i bambini si urtavano nel suo seno, ed essa esclamò: « Se mi doveva accader questo non valeva la pena di concepire! E se ne andò a consultare 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 Il quale rispose e disse:« Due nazioni sono nel tuo seno, e due popoli saran separati fin dalle tue viscere: uno dei popoli sarà più forte 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 Allorché venne il tempo di partorire, nel suo seno furono trovati due gemelli.
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 Quello che venne fuori per il primo era rosso, e tutto peloso come una pelliccia, e fu chiamato Esaù. L'altro, che uscì immediatamente, teneva con una mano il calcagno del fratello, e per questo fu chiamato Giacobbe.
26 Isaac was sixty years old when the little ones were born to him.	26 Isacco aveva sessanta anni quando gli nacquero questi bambini.
27 And as adults, Esau became a knowledgeable hunter and a man of agriculture, but Jacob, a simple man, dwelt in tents.	27 Quando furono adulti, Esaù divenne buon cacciatore e uomo dei campi; Giacobbe invece fu uomo tranquillo e abìtava sotto le tende.
28 Isaac was fond of Esau, because he was fed from his hunting; and Rebekah loved Jacob.	28 Or Isacco amava Esaù, perchè gli piaceva molto la cacciagione: e Rebecca amava Giacobbe.
29 Then Jacob boiled a small meal. Esau, when he had arrived weary from the field,	29 Aveva Giacobbe fatto cocere un minestra, quando Esaù affaticato giunse dalla campagna,
30 said to him, “Give me this red stew, for I am very tired.” For this reason, his name was called Edom.	30 e gli disse: « Dammi un po' di cotesta rossa roba cotta, perchè son molto stanco ». Per questo appunto fu chiamato Edom.
31 Jacob said to him, “Sell me your right of the firstborn.”	31 Giacobbe gli rispose: «Vendimi la tua primogenitura ».
32 He answered, “Lo, I am dying, what will the right of the firstborn provide for me?”	32 L'altro replicò: « Ecco io sto per morire, e 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 Giacobbe disse: «Allora giuramelo». Esaù glielo giurò e vendette 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.	34 E così, avuto il pane e la minestra di lenticchie, Esaù mangiò e bevve e se ne andò, poco curando di aver venduta la primogenitura.
