1 Приложи́въ же а҆враа́мъ, поѧ̀ женꙋ̀, є҆́йже и҆́мѧ хеттꙋ́ра:
1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 роди́ же є҆мꙋ̀ зомвра́на и҆ і҆еза́на, и҆ мада́ла и҆ мадїа́ма, и҆ і҆есво́ка и҆ сѡїе́на.
2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 І҆еза́нъ же родѝ сава́на и҆ ѳама́на и҆ деда́на. Сы́нове же деда̑ни бы́ша: рагꙋи́лъ и҆ навдеи́лъ, и҆ а҆сꙋрїи́мъ и҆ латꙋсїи́мъ и҆ лаѡмі́мъ.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
4 Сы́нове же мадїа̑мли: є҆фа́ръ и҆ а҆фи́ръ, и҆ є҆нѡ́хъ и҆ а҆вїда̀ и҆ є҆лдага̀. Всѝ сі́и бы́ша сы́нове хеттꙋ̑рины.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 Даде́ же а҆враа́мъ всѧ̑ своѧ̑ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ і҆саа́кꙋ сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀:
5 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,
6 сынѡ́мъ же нало́жницъ свои́хъ дадѐ а҆враа́мъ да́ры и҆ ѿпꙋстѝ ѧ҆̀ ѿ і҆саа́ка сы́на своегѡ̀, є҆щѐ жи́въ сы́й, къ восто́кꙋ на зе́млю восто́чнꙋю.
6 but Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Abraham’s concubines. While he still lived, he sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward, to the east country.
7 Сїѧ̑ же лѣ̑та дні́й житїѧ̀ а҆враа́млѧ, є҆ли̑ка поживѐ, лѣ́тъ сто̀ се́дмьдесѧтъ пѧ́ть:
7 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.
8 и҆ ѡ҆слабѣ́въ ᲂу҆́мре а҆враа́мъ въ ста́рости до́брѣй, ста́рецъ и҆спо́лненъ дні́й, и҆ приложи́сѧ къ лю́демъ свои̑мъ.
8 Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
9 И҆ погребо́ша є҆го̀ і҆саа́къ и҆ і҆сма́илъ два̀ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ въ пеще́рѣ сꙋгꙋ́бѣй, на селѣ̀ є҆фрѡ́новѣ сы́на саа́рова хетте́анина, є҆́же є҆́сть прѧ́мѡ мамврі́и,
9 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is near Mamre,
10 на селѣ̀ и҆ въ пеще́рѣ, ю҆́же притѧжа̀ а҆враа́мъ ѿ сынѡ́въ хетте́овыхъ: та́мѡ погребо́ша а҆враа́ма и҆ са́ррꙋ женꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
10 the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
11 Бы́сть же по ᲂу҆ме́ртвїи а҆враа́мли, блгⷭ҇вѝ бг҃ъ і҆саа́ка сы́на є҆гѡ̀: и҆ всели́сѧ і҆саа́къ ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ видѣ́нїѧ.
11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
12 Сїѧ̑ же бытїѧ̑ і҆сма́ила сы́на а҆враа́млѧ, є҆го́же родѝ а҆́гарь є҆гѵ́птѧнынѧ, раба̀ са́ррина, а҆враа́мꙋ:
12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.
13 и҆ сїѧ̑ и҆мена̀ сынѡ́въ і҆сма́илихъ, по и҆менѡ́мъ родѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀: пе́рвенецъ і҆сма́иловъ наваїѡ́ѳъ, и҆ кида́ръ и҆ навдеи́лъ, и҆ масса́мъ
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 и҆ масма̀, и҆ дꙋма̀ и҆ массѝ,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 и҆ ходда́нъ и҆ ѳема́нъ, и҆ і҆етꙋ́ръ и҆ нафе́съ и҆ кедма̀.
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Сі́и сꙋ́ть сы́нове і҆сма̑или: и҆ сїѧ̑ и҆мена̀ и҆́хъ въ ски́нїѧхъ и҆́хъ и҆ въ се́лѣхъ и҆́хъ: двана́десѧть кнѧ̑зи въ ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ и҆́хъ.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.
17 И҆ сїѧ̑ лѣ̑та житїѧ̀ і҆сма́илова, сто̀ три́десѧть се́дмь лѣ́тъ: и҆ ѡ҆слабѣ́въ ᲂу҆́мре, и҆ приложи́сѧ къ ро́дꙋ своемꙋ̀.
17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 Всели́сѧ же ѿ є҆ѵїла́та да́же до сꙋ́ра, и҆́же є҆́сть въ лицѐ є҆гѵ́птꙋ, да́же доитѝ ко а҆ссѷрі́ѡмъ: пред̾ лице́мъ всѣ́хъ бра́тїй свои́хъ всели́сѧ.
18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.
19 И҆ сїѧ̑ бытїѧ̑ і҆саа́ка сы́на а҆враа́млѧ: а҆враа́мъ родѝ і҆саа́ка.
19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20 Бѧ́ше же і҆саа́къ лѣ́тъ четы́редесѧти, є҆гда̀ поѧ̀ реве́ккꙋ дще́рь ваѳꙋи́ла сѵ́рїна ѿ месопота́мїи сѵ́рскїѧ, сестрꙋ̀ лава́на сѵ́рїна, себѣ̀ въ женꙋ̀.
20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21 Молѧ́шесѧ же і҆саа́къ гдⷭ҇еви ѡ҆ реве́кцѣ женѣ̀ свое́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ непло́ды бѧ́ше: послꙋ́ша же є҆го̀ бг҃ъ, и҆ зача́тъ во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ реве́кка жена̀ є҆гѡ̀.
21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 И҆гра́ста же младє́нца въ не́й, и҆ речѐ: а҆́ще та́кѡ мѝ хо́щетъ бы́ти, почто́ ми сїѐ; И҆ и҆́де вопроша́ти гдⷭ҇а.
22 The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh.
23 И҆ речѐ є҆́й гдⷭ҇ь: два̀ ꙗ҆зы̑ка во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ твое́й сꙋ́ть, и҆ дво́и лю́дїе ѿ ᲂу҆тро́бы твоеѧ̀ разлꙋча́тсѧ: и҆ лю́дїе люді́й превзы́дꙋтъ, и҆ бо́льшїй порабо́таетъ ме́ньшемꙋ.
23 Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”
24 И҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ дні́е роди́ти є҆́й, и҆ бѧ́хꙋ се́й близнѧ́та во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ є҆ѧ̀:
24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 и҆зы́де же сы́нъ пе́рвенецъ че́рменъ, ве́сь, ꙗ҆́кѡ ко́жа, косма́тъ: и҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆са́ѵъ:
25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
26 и҆ посе́мъ и҆зы́де бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀, рꙋка́ же є҆гѡ̀ придержа́сѧ пѧтѣ̀ и҆са́ѵовѣ: и҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ. І҆саа́кꙋ же бѣ̀ шестьдесѧ́тъ лѣ́тъ, є҆гда̀ родѝ и҆̀хъ реве́кка.
26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 Возрасто́ша же ю҆́нѡши: и҆ бы́сть и҆са́ѵъ человѣ́къ вѣ́дый лови́ти, се́льный: і҆а́кѡвъ же бы́сть человѣ́къ нелꙋка́въ, живы́й въ домꙋ̀.
27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 И҆ возлюбѝ і҆саа́къ и҆са́ѵа, ꙗ҆́кѡ лови́тва є҆гѡ̀ бѧ́ше бра́шно є҆мꙋ̀: реве́кка же люблѧ́ше і҆а́кѡва.
28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Свари́ же і҆а́кѡвъ варе́нїе: и҆ прїи́де и҆са́ѵъ съ по́лѧ и҆знемо́гъ,
29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 и҆ речѐ и҆са́ѵъ і҆а́кѡвꙋ: напита́й мѧ̀ варе́нїемъ со́чива сегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆знемога́ю. Сегѡ̀ ра́ди прозва́сѧ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆дѡ́мъ.
30 Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
31 И҆ речѐ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆са́ѵꙋ: ѿда́ждь мѝ дне́сь пе́рвенство своѐ.
31 Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32 Рече́ же и҆са́ѵъ: сѐ, а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀ ᲂу҆мре́ти, и҆ вскꙋ́ю мѝ пе́рвенство сїѐ;
32 Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 И҆ речѐ і҆а́кѡвъ є҆мꙋ̀: клени́сѧ мѝ дне́сь. И҆ клѧ́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ѿдадѐ и҆са́ѵъ і҆а́кѡвꙋ пе́рвенство своѐ.
33 Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 І҆а́кѡвъ же дадѐ и҆са́ѵꙋ хлѣ́бъ и҆ варе́нїе со́чевно: ꙗ҆де́ же и҆ пѝ, и҆ воста́въ ѿи́де: и҆ нивочто́же вмѣнѝ себѣ̀ и҆са́ѵъ пе́рвенство.
34 Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
