Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Lo! I [am here].
Après ces choses, Dieu mit Abraham à l’épreuve, et lui dit: Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
2 And he said, Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Dieu dit: Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac; va-t’en au pays de Morija, et là offre-le en holocauste sur l’une des montagnes que je te dirai.
3 And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole-burnt-offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
Abraham se leva de bon matin, sella son âne, et prit avec lui deux serviteurs et son fils Isaac. Il fendit du bois pour l’holocauste, et partit pour aller au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.
4 on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, vit le lieu de loin.
5 And Abraam said to his servants, Sit ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.
Et Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: Restez ici avec l’âne; moi et le jeune homme, nous irons jusque-là pour adorer, et nous reviendrons auprès de vous.
6 And Abraam took the wood of the whole-burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.
Abraham prit le bois pour l’holocauste, le chargea sur son fils Isaac, et porta dans sa main le feu et le couteau. Et ils marchèrent tous deux ensemble.
7 And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole-burnt-offering?
Alors Isaac, parlant à Abraham, son père, dit: Mon père! Et il répondit: Me voici, mon fils! Isaac reprit: Voici le feu et le bois; mais où est l’agneau pour l’holocauste?
8 And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole-burnt-offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
Abraham répondit: Mon fils, Dieu se pourvoira lui-même de l’agneau pour l’holocauste. Et ils marchèrent tous deux ensemble.
9 came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Lorsqu’ils furent arrivés au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit, Abraham y éleva un autel, et rangea le bois. Il lia son fils Isaac, et le mit sur l’autel, par-dessus le bois.
10 And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to slay his son.
Puis Abraham étendit la main, et prit le couteau, pour égorger son fils.
11 And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
Alors l’ange de l’Éternel l’appela des cieux, et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that thou fearest God, and for my sake thou hast not spared thy beloved son.
L’ange dit: N’avance pas ta main sur l’enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car je sais maintenant que tu crains Dieu, et que tu ne m’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
13 And Abraam lifted up his eyes and beheld, and lo! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole-burnt-offering in the place of Isaac his son.
Abraham leva les yeux, et vit derrière lui un bélier retenu dans un buisson par les cornes; et Abraham alla prendre le bélier, et l’offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
14 And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord hath seen; that they might say to-day, In the mount the Lord was seen.
Abraham donna à ce lieu le nom de Jehova-Jiré. C’est pourquoi l’on dit aujourd’hui: A la montagne de l’Éternel il sera pourvu.
15 And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because thou hast done this thing, and on my account hast not spared thy beloved son,
L’ange de l’Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham des cieux,
16 surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and thy seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
et dit: Je le jure par moi-même, parole de l’Éternel! Parce que tu as fait cela, et que tu n’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,
17 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
je te bénirai et je multiplierai ta postérité, comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta postérité possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
18 And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam dwelt at the well of the oath.
Toutes les nations de la terre seront bénies en ta postérité, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix.
19 And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor thy brother,
Abraham étant retourné vers ses serviteurs, ils se levèrent et s’en allèrent ensemble à Beer-Schéba; car Abraham demeurait à Beer-Schéba.
20 Uz the first-born, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
Après ces choses, on fit à Abraham un rapport, en disant: Voici, Milca a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
21 Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
Uts, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Kemuel, père d’Aram,
22 these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
Késed, Hazo, Pildasch, Jidlaph et Bethuel.
23 And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
Bethuel a engendré Rebecca. Ce sont là les huit fils que Milca a enfantés à Nachor, frère d’Abraham.
Sa concubine, nommée Réuma, a aussi enfanté Thébach, Gaham, Tahasch et Maaca.
