1 وَعَادَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَأَخَذَ زَوْجَةً ٱسْمُهَا قَطُورَةُ،
1 Y ABRAHAM tomó otra mujer, cuyo nombre fué Cetura;
1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ: زِمْرَانَ وَيَقْشَانَ وَمَدَانَ وَمِدْيَانَ وَيِشْبَاقَ وَشُوحًا.
2 La cual le parió á Zimram, y á Joksan, y á Medan, y á Midiam, y á Ishbak, y á Sua.
2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 وَوَلَدَ يَقْشَانُ: شَبَا وَدَدَانَ. وَكَانَ بَنُو دَدَانَ: أَشُّورِيمَ وَلَطُوشِيمَ وَلَأُمِّيمَ.
3 Y Joksan engendró á Seba, y á Dedán: é hijos de Dedán fueron Assurim, y Letusim, y Leummim.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
4 وَبَنُو مِدْيَانَ: عَيْفَةُ وَعِفْرُ وَحَنُوكُ وَأَبِيدَاعُ وَأَلْدَعَةُ. جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو قَطُورَةَ.
4 E hijos de Midiam: Epha, y Epher, y Enech, y Abida, y Eldaa. Todos estos [fueron] hijos de Cetura.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 وَأَعْطَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ.
5 Y Abraham dió todo cuanto tenía á Isaac.
5 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,
6 وَأَمَّا بَنُو ٱلسَّرَارِيِّ ٱللَّوَاتِي كَانَتْ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَطَايَا، وَصَرَفَهُمْ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنِهِ شَرْقًا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ، وَهُوَ بَعْدُ حَيٌّ.
6 Y á los hijos de sus concubinas dió Abraham dones, y enviólos de junto Isaac su hijo, mientras él vivía, hacia el oriente, á la tierra oriental.
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 وَهَذِهِ أَيَّامُ سِنِي حَيَاةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلَّتِي عَاشَهَا: مِئَةٌ وَخَمْسٌ وَسَبْعُونَ سَنَةً.
7 Y estos fueron los días de vida que vivió Abraham: ciento setenta y cinco años.
7 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.
8 وَأَسْلَمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رُوحَهُ وَمَاتَ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ، شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ أَيَّامًا، وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ.
8 Y exhaló el espíritu, y murió Abraham en buena vejez, anciano y lleno [de días], y fué unido á su pueblo.
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 وَدَفَنَهُ إِسْحَاقُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ٱبْنَاهُ فِي مَغَارَةِ ٱلْمَكْفِيلَةِ فِي حَقْلِ عِفْرُونَ بْنِ صُوحَرَ ٱلْحِثِّيِّ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ مَمْرَا،
9 Y sepultáronlo Isaac é Ismael sus hijos en la cueva de Macpela, en la heredad de Ephrón, hijo de Zoar Hetheo, que está enfrente de Mamre;
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 ٱلْحَقْلِ ٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَرَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ بَنِي حِثٍّ. هُنَاكَ دُفِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَسَارَةُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ.
10 Heredad que compró Abraham de los hijos de Heth; allí fué Abraham sepultado, y Sara su mujer.
10 the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
11 وَكَانَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ بَارَكَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱبْنَهُ. وَسَكَنَ إِسْحَاقُ عِنْدَ بِئْرِ لَحَيْ رُئِي.
11 Y sucedió, después de muerto Abraham, que Dios bendijo á Isaac su hijo: y habitó Isaac junto al pozo del Viviente que me ve.
11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
12 وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَتْهُ هَاجَرُ ٱلْمِصْرِيَّةُ جَارِيَةُ سَارَةَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ.
12 Y estas son las generaciones de Ismael, hijo de Abraham, que le parió Agar Egipcia, sierva de Sara:
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 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ حَسَبَ مَوَالِيدِهِمْ: نَبَايُوتُ بِكْرُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَقِيدَارُ، وَأَدَبْئِيلُ وَمِبْسَامُ
13 Estos, pues, son los nombres de los hijos de Ismael, por sus nombres, por sus linajes: El primogénito de Ismael, Nabaioth; luego Cedar, y Abdeel, y Mibsam,
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 وَمِشْمَاعُ وَدُومَةُ وَمَسَّا
14 Y Misma, y Duma, y Massa,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 وَحَدَارُ وَتَيْمَا وَيَطُورُ وَنَافِيشُ وَقِدْمَةُ.
15 Hadad, y Tema, y Jetur, y Naphis, y Cedema.
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ بَنُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ بِدِيَارِهِمْ وَحُصُونِهِمْ. ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ رَئِيسًا حَسَبَ قَبَائِلِهِمْ.
16 Estos son los hijos de Ismael, y estos sus nombres, por sus villas y por sus campamentos; doce príncipes por sus familias.
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 وَهَذِهِ سِنُو حَيَاةِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ: مِئَةٌ وَسَبْعٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً، وَأَسْلَمَ رُوحَهُ وَمَاتَ وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ.
17 Y estos fueron los años de la vida de Ismael, ciento treinta y siete años: y exhaló el espíritu Ismael, y murió; y fué unido á su pueblo.
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 وَسَكَنُوا مِنْ حَوِيلَةَ إِلَى شُورَ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ مِصْرَ حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ نَحْوَ أَشُّورَ. أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِخْوَتِهِ نَزَلَ.
18 Y habitaron desde Havila hasta Shur, que está enfrente de Egipto viniendo á Asiria; y murió en presencia de todos sus hermanos.
18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.
19 وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: وَلَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْحَاقَ.
19 Y estas son las generaciones de Isaac, hijo de Abraham. Abraham engendró á Isaac:
19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20 وَكَانَ إِسْحَاقُ ٱبْنَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا ٱتَّخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ زَوْجَةً، رِفْقَةَ بِنْتَ بَتُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ، أُخْتَ لَابَانَ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّ مِنْ فَدَّانِ أَرَامَ.
20 Y era Isaac de cuarenta años cuando tomó por mujer á Rebeca, hija de Bethuel Arameo de Padan-aram, hermana de Labán Arameo.
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 وَصَلَّى إِسْحَاقُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَجْلِ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ عَاقِرًا، فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَحَبِلَتْ رِفْقَةُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ.
21 Y oró Isaac á Jehová por su mujer, que era estéril; y aceptólo Jehová, y concibió Rebeca su mujer.
21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 وَتَزَاحَمَ ٱلْوَلَدَانِ فِي بَطْنِهَا، فَقَالَتْ: «إِنْ كَانَ هَكَذَا فَلِمَاذَا أَنَا؟» فَمَضَتْ لِتَسْأَلَ ٱلرَّبَّ.
22 Y los hijos se combatían dentro de ella; y dijo: Si es así ¿para qué vivo yo? Y fué á consultar á Jehová.
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 فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ: «فِي بَطْنِكِ أُمَّتَانِ، وَمِنْ أَحْشَائِكِ يَفْتَرِقُ شَعْبَانِ: شَعْبٌ يَقْوَى عَلَى شَعْبٍ، وَكَبِيرٌ يُسْتَعْبَدُ لِصَغِيرٍ».
23 Y respondióle Jehová: Dos gentes hay en tu seno, y dos pueblos serán divididos desde tus entrañas: y el un pueblo será más fuerte que el otro pueblo, y el mayor servirá al menor.
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 فَلَمَّا كَمُلَتْ أَيَّامُهَا لِتَلِدَ إِذَا فِي بَطْنِهَا تَوْأَمَانِ.
24 Y como se cumplieron sus días para parir, he aquí mellizos en su vientre.
24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 فَخَرَجَ ٱلْأوَّلُ أَحْمَرَ، كُلُّهُ كَفَرْوَةِ شَعْرٍ، فَدَعَوْا ٱسْمَهُ «عِيسُوَ».
25 Y salió el primero rubio, y todo él velludo como una pelliza; y llamaron su nombre Esaú.
25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
26 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ أَخُوهُ وَيَدُهُ قَابِضَةٌ بِعَقِبِ عِيسُو، فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «يَعْقُوبَ». وَكَانَ إِسْحَاقُ ٱبْنَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا وَلَدَتْهُمَا.
26 Y después salió su hermano, trabada su mano al calcañar de Esaú: y fué llamado su nombre Jacob. Y era Isaac de edad de sesenta años cuando ella los parió.
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 فَكَبِرَ ٱلْغُلَامَانِ، وَكَانَ عِيسُو إِنْسَانًا يَعْرِفُ ٱلصَّيْدَ، إِنْسَانَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَيَعْقُوبُ إِنْسَانًا كَامِلًا يَسْكُنُ ٱلْخِيَامَ.
27 Y crecieron los niños, y Esaú fué diestro en la caza, hombre del campo: Jacob empero era varón quieto, que habitaba en tiendas.
27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 فَأَحَبَّ إِسْحَاقُ عِيسُوَ لِأَنَّ فِي فَمِهِ صَيْدًا، وَأَمَّا رِفْقَةُ فَكَانَتْ تُحِبُّ يَعْقُوبَ.
28 Y amó Isaac á Esaú, porque comía de su caza; mas Rebeca amaba á Jacob.
28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 وَطَبَخَ يَعْقُوبُ طَبِيخًا، فَأَتَى عِيسُو مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَهُوَ قَدْ أَعْيَا.
29 Y guisó Jacob un potaje; y volviendo Esaú del campo cansado,
29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 فَقَالَ عِيسُو لِيَعْقُوبَ: «أَطْعِمْنِي مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْأَحْمَرِ لِأَنِّي قَدْ أَعْيَيْتُ». لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «أَدُومَ».
30 Dijo á Jacob: Ruégote que me des á comer de eso bermejo, pues estoy muy cansado. Por tanto fué llamado su nombre Edom.
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 فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «بِعْنِي ٱلْيَوْمَ بَكُورِيَّتَكَ».
31 Y Jacob respondió: Véndeme en este día tu primogenitura.
31 Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32 فَقَالَ عِيسُو: «هَا أَنَا مَاضٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، فَلِمَاذَا لِي بَكُورِيَّةٌ؟»
32 Entonces dijo Esaú: He aquí yo me voy á morir; ¿para qué, pues, me servirá la primogenitura?
32 Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: «ٱحْلِفْ لِيَ ٱلْيَوْمَ». فَحَلَفَ لَهُ، فَبَاعَ بَكُورِيَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ.
33 Y dijo Jacob: Júrame[lo] en este día. Y él le juró, y vendió á Jacob su primogenitura.
33 Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 فَأَعْطَى يَعْقُوبُ عِيسُوَ خُبْزًا وَطَبِيخَ عَدَسٍ، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ وَقَامَ وَمَضَى. فَٱحْتَقَرَ عِيسُو ٱلْبَكُورِيَّةَ.
34 Entonces Jacob dió á Esaú pan y del guisado de las lentejas; y él comió y bebió, y levantóse, y fuése. Así menospreció Esaú la primogenitura.
34 Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

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).

  3. Quotes verse 25:26 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XXI)

    Thus, in the first place, at his birth, since he laid hold on his brother's heel, he was called Jacob, that is, the supplanter--one who holds, but is not held; binding the feet, but not being bound; striving and conquering; grasping in his hand his adversary's heel, that is, victory.
