Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God proved Abraham, and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
Et après ces choses il arriva que Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve; et Il lui dit: Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou love, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah. And offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Et Il dit: Eh bien! prends ton fils, ton unique, que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t'en au pays de Moriah, et là offre-le en holocauste sur l'une des montagnes que je te dirai.
3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. And he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
Et Abraham se leva Je matin et bâta son âne, et prit deux de ses valets avec lui, et Isaac, son fils, et il fendit du bois pour l'holocauste, et il se leva et prit son chemin vers le lieu que Dieu lui avait indiqué.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut le lieu de loin.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and come again to you.
Alors Abraham dit à ses valets: Restez ici avec l'âne, et moi et l'enfant nous irons jusque-là, et nous adorerons, puis nous vous rejoindrons.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. And they went both of them together.
Puis Abraham prit le bois de l'holocauste, et en chargea Isaac, son fils, et il prit en sa main le feu et le couteau; et ils s'acheminèrent les deux ensemble.
7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he said, Here I am, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
Et Isaac parla à Abraham, son père, et dit: Mon père! Et il répondit: Me voici, mon fils. Et il dit: Voici bien le feu et le bois; mais où est la victime pour l'holocauste?
8 And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son. So they went both of them together.
Et Abraham répondit: Dieu verra à se trouver la victime pour l'holocauste, mon fils. Puis ils cheminèrent les deux ensemble.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
Et ils arrivèrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit, et Abraham y éleva l'autel, et disposa le bûcher, et lia Isaac, son fils, et le plaça sur l'autel par dessus le bûcher.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Et Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour immoler son fils.
11 And the agent of Jehovah called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.
Alors l'ange de l'Éternel l'appela des cieux et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
12 And he said, Do not lay thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything to him. For now I know that thou fear God, since thou have not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.
Et il dit: Ne porte pas la main sur l'enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car maintenant je sais que tu crains Dieu, et tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
Alors Abraham leva les yeux et regarda, et voilà que derrière lui un bélier était pris par les cornes dans le hallier, et Abraham alla prendre le bélier, et il l'offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of Jehovah it shall be provided.
Et Abraham donna à ce lieu le nom de: L'Éternel verra; d'où vient l'expression d'aujourd'hui: A la montagne de l'Éternel Il se rendra visible.
15 And the agent of Jehovah called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
Et l'ange de l'Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham des cieux
16 and said, By myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, because thou have done this thing, and have not withheld thy son, thine only son,
et dit: Je jure par moi-même, déclare l'Éternel, que parce que tu as accompli cet acte, et n'as point refusé ton fils, ton unique,
17 that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore, and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies,
je te bénirai et multiplierai ta postérité comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta postérité sera maîtresse de la porte de ses ennemis.
18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou have obeyed my voice.
Et toutes les nations de la terre chercheront leur bénédiction dans ta postérité par la raison que tu as obéi à ma voix.
19 So Abraham returned to his young men. And they rose up and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Et Abraham rejoignit ses valets; puis ils se levèrent, et gagnèrent ensemble Beerséba, et Abraham demeura à Beerséba. –
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:
Et sur ces entrefaites Abraham reçut un renseignement conçu en ces termes: Voici, Milca a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
21 Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uts, son premier-né, et Buz, son frère, et Kemuel, père d'Aram,
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
et Chésed et Hazo et Pila: das et Jidlaph et Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Et Bethuel a engendré Rebecca: Ce sont là les huit enfants que Milca a enfantés à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Et sa concubine, nommée Reumah, a aussi enfanté Tebach et Gaham et Thachas et Maacha.
