Genesis 25
Maori Bible
25 Na ka tangohia e Aperahama tetahi wahine ano, ko Ketura tona ingoa.
2 A whanau ake a raua tama ko Timirana, ko Iokohana, ko Merana, ko Miriana, ko Ihipaka, ratou ko Huaha.
3 A whanau ake a Iokohana ko Hepa, ko Rerana. A ko nga tama a Rerana ko Ahurimi, ko Retuhimi, ko Reumime.
4 A ko nga tama a Miriana ko Epa, ko Epere, ko Hanoka, ko Apira, ko Ereraaha. He tama katoa enei na Ketura.
5 A i hoatu e Aperahama ana mea katoa ki a Ihaka.
6 Ki nga tama ia a nga wahine iti a Aperahama i hoatu e ia etahi taonga, a tonoa atu ana e ia i a ia ano e ora ana kia matara atu i a Ihaka, i tana tama, whaka te rawhiti, ki te whenua i te rawhiti.
7 Ko nga ra enei o nga tau o te oranga o Aperahama i ora ai ia, kotahi rau e whitu tekau ma rima nga tau.
8 Na ka hemo a Aperahama, a ka mate, he pai hoki tona koroheketanga, he kaumatua, kua ata tutuki ona tau; a kohia ana ia ki tona iwi.
9 A ka tanumia ia e ana tama e Ihaka raua ko Ihimaera ki te ana o Makapera, ki te wahi o Eperona tama a Tohara Hiti, i te ritenga o Mamere;
10 Ki te wahi i hokona ra e Aperahama i nga tama a Hete: i tanumia ki reira a Aperahama, raua ko Hara, ko tana wahine.
11 A muri iho i te matenga o Aperahama ka manaakitia e te Atua a Ihaka, tana tama; a ka noho a Ihaka ki te taha o Peererahairoi.
12 Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Ihimaera tama a Aperahama, i whanau nei ma Aperahama i a Hakara, i te Ihipiana, pononga wahine a Hara:
13 A ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Ihimaera, o ratou ingoa i o ratou whakatupuranga: ta Ihimaera matamua ko Nepaioto; na, ko Kerara, ko Arapeere, ko Mipihama,
14 Ko Mihima, ko Ruma, ko Maha,
15 Ko Hatara, ko Tema, ko Ieturu, ko Napihi, ko Kerema:
16 Ko nga tama enei a Ihimaera, ko o ratou ingoa hoki enei i o ratou pa, i o ratou puni; kotahi tekau ma rua nga rangatira o o ratou iwi.
17 A ko nga tau enei o te oranga o Ihimaera, kotahi rau e toru tekau ma whitu nga tau: na ka hemo ia, a ka mate; ka kohia ki tona iwi.
18 A ko o ratou nohoanga i Hawira a tae noa ki Huru, i te ritenga o Ihipa ina haere koe ki Ahiria: a i noho ia ki te aroaro o ona teina katoa.
19 Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Ihaka tama a Aperahama: na Aperahama ko Ihaka:
20 Na e wha tekau nga tau o Ihaka i tana tangohanga i a Ripeka, tamahine a Petuere Hiriani o Paranaarama, tuahine o Rapana Hiriani, hei wahine mana.
21 Na ka inoi a Ihaka ki a Ihowa mo tana wahine, no te mea he pakoko ia: a ka whakaae a Ihowa ki a ia, a ka hapu a Ripeka, tana wahine.
22 A ka takatakahi nga tamariki i a raua i roto i a ia; a ka mea ia, Ki te mea ko tenei, he aha ahau i penei ai? Na haere ana ia ki a Ihowa ki te ui.
23 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, e rua nga iwi kei roto i tou kopu, a e rua nga iwi e wehea mai i roto i ou whekau; a ka kaha tetahi iwi i tetahi iwi; ka waiho hoki te tuakana hei papa mo te teina.
24 A ka rite ona ra e whanau ai ia, na, he mahanga kei roto i tona kopu.
25 Na ka puta mai te tuatahi, he whero, rite katoa ia ki te kakahu huruhuru; a huaina ana e ratou tona ingoa ko Ehau.
26 A muri iho ka puta mai tona teina, me te pupuri ano tona ringa i te rekereke o Ehau; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Hakopa; a e ono tekau nga tau o Ihaka i to raua whanautanga.
27 Na ka tupu nga tamariki ra: ko Ehau he tangata mohio ki te hopu kirehe mohoao, he tangata noho koraha; ko Hakopa ia he tangata ata noho, he tangata noho teneti.
28 Na i aroha a Ihaka ki a Ehau, he kai nona i ana i hopu ai: ko Ripeka i aroha ki a Hakopa.
29 Na ka kohuatia he kai e Hakopa, a ka haere mai a Ehau i te koraha, a e hemo ana ia:
30 A ka mea a Ehau ki a Hakopa, E, homai he kai maku i taua mea whero e whero na, ne? e hemo ana hoki ahau: koia i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Eroma.
31 Na ko te meatanga mai a Hakopa, Hokona mai ki ahau i tenei ra tou matamuatanga.
32 Na ka mea a Ehau, Na, kua tata ahau te mate: a he aha te hua o te matamuatanga ki ahau?
33 A ka mea a Hakopa, Oati mai ki ahau aianei; na ka oati ia ki a ia: a ka hokona atu e ia tona matamuatanga ki a Hakopa.
34 Katahi ka hoatu e Hakopa he taro ki a Ehau me nga pi i kohuatia ra: na ka kai ia, ka inu, ka whakatika hoki, haere ana: na whakahaweatia ana e Ehau tona matamuatanga.
Genesis 25
New King James Version
Abraham and Keturah(A)
25 Abraham again took a wife, and her name was (B)Keturah. 2 And (C)she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And (D)Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. 6 But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he (E)sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to (F)the country of the east.
Abraham’s Death and Burial
7 This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years. 8 Then Abraham breathed his last and (G)died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and (H)was gathered to his people. 9 And (I)his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of (J)Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, 10 (K)the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. (L)There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife. 11 And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at (M)Beer Lahai Roi.
The Families of Ishmael and Isaac(N)
12 Now this is the (O)genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham. 13 And (P)these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 [a]Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their [b]settlements, (Q)twelve princes according to their nations. 17 These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and (R)he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. 18 (S)(They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He [c]died (T)in the presence of all his brethren.
19 This is the (U)genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. (V)Abraham begot Isaac. 20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, (W)the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, (X)the sister of Laban the Syrian. 21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; (Y)and the Lord granted his plea, (Z)and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” (AA)So she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said to her:
(AB)“Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body;
One people shall be stronger than (AC)the other,
(AD)And the older shall serve the younger.”
24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red. He was (AE)like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name [d]Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out, and (AF)his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so (AG)his name was called [e]Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 So the boys grew. And Esau was (AH)a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was (AI)a [f]mild man, (AJ)dwelling in tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau because he (AK)ate of his game, (AL)but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Esau Sells His Birthright(AM)
29 Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called [g]Edom.
31 But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”
32 And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so (AN)what is this birthright to me?”
33 Then Jacob said, [h]“Swear to me as of this day.”
So he swore to him, and (AO)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then (AP)he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau (AQ)despised his birthright.

Abraham's Death and His Descendants
25 Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 (A)She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 5 (B)Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. 6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he (C)sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward (D)to the east country.
7 These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, 175 years. 8 Abraham (E)breathed his last and (F)died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. 9 Isaac and Ishmael (G)his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, 10 the field (H)that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. (I)There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. 11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at (J)Beer-lahai-roi.
12 These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, (K)whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham. 13 (L)These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: (M)Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and (N)Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, (O)Tema, (P)Jetur, (Q)Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, (R)twelve princes according to their tribes. 17 (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He (S)breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) 18 (T)They settled from Havilah to (U)Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled[a] over against all his kinsmen.
The Birth of Esau and Jacob
19 These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: (V)Abraham fathered Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, (W)the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of (X)Paddan-aram, (Y)the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. 21 And Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And (Z)the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”[b] So she went (AA)to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her,
(AB)“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you[c] shall be divided;
(AC)the one shall be stronger than the other,
(AD)the older shall serve the younger.”
24 When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out red, (AE)all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out with (AF)his hand holding Esau's heel, so (AG)his name was called Jacob.[d] Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau was (AH)a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, (AI)dwelling in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because (AJ)he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Esau Sells His Birthright
29 Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.[e]) 31 Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” 32 Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” 33 Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and (AK)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
