Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to you, when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.
Dieu dit à Jacob: " Lève-toi, monte à Béthel et demeures-y, et dresse là un autel au Dieu qui t'est apparu quand tu fuyais devant Esaü, ton frère. "
2 And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
Jacob dit à sa famille et à tous ceux qui étaient avec lui: " Otez les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieu de vous; purifiez-vous et changez de vêtements.
3 And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an altar to God who listened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
Nous nous lèverons et nous monterons à Béthel, et là je dresserai un autel au Dieu qui m'a exaucé au jour de mon angoisse, et qui a été avec moi, dans le voyage que j'ai fait. "
4 And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
Et ils donnèrent à Jacob tous les dieux étrangers qui étaient entre leurs mains et les boucles qu'ils avaient aux oreilles, et Jacob les enfouit sous le térébinthe qui est à Sichem.
5 So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
Ils partirent, et la terreur de Dieu se répandit sur les villes d'alentour, et on ne poursuivit pas les fils de Jacob.
6 And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Jacob, avec tous les gens qui étaient avec lui, arriva à Luz, au pays de Chanaan: c'est Béthel.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
Il y bâtit un autel, et il appela ce lieu El-Béthel, car c'est là que Dieu lui était apparu lorsqu'il fuyait devant son frère.
8 And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
Alors mourut Débora, nourrice de Rebecca, et elle fut enterrée au-dessous de Béthel, au pied du chêne auquel on donna le nom de Chêne des pleurs.
9 And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
Dieu apparut encore à Jacob, après son retour de Paddan-Aram, et il le bénit.
10 And God said to him, Your name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; and he called his name Israel.
Dieu lui dit: " Ton nom est Jacob; tu ne seras plus appelé Jacob, mais Israël sera ton nom. " Et il le nomma Israël.
11 And God said to him, I am your God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins.
Dieu lui dit: " Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant. Sois fécond et multiplie; il naîtra de toi une nation et une assemblée de nations, et de tes reins sortiront des rois.
12 And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to you; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to your seed after you.
Le pays que j'ai donné à Abraham et à Isaac, je te le donnerai, et je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité après toi. "
13 And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
Et Dieu remonta d'auprès de lui, dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
Et dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé, Jacob dressa un monument de pierre, sur lequel il fit une libation et versa de l'huile.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
Il donna le nom de Béthel au lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé.
16 [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew near to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labour.
Ils partirent de Béthel. Il y avait encore une certaine distance avant d'arriver à Ephrata, lorsque Rachel enfanta, et son accouchement fut pénible.
17 And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for you shall also have this son.
Pendant les douleurs de l'enfantement, la sage-femme lui dit: " Ne crains point, car c'est encore un fils que tu vas avoir. "
18 And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.
Comme son âme s'en allait, — car elle était mourante, — elle le nomma Bénoni; mais son père l'appela Benjamin.
19 So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
Rachel mourut, et elle fut enterrée au chemin d'Ephrata, qui est Bethléem.
20 And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
Jacob éleva un monument sur sa tombe; c'est le monument de la Tombe de Rachel, qui subsiste encore aujourd'hui.
21 And it came to pass when Israel lived in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.
Israël partit, et il dressa sa tente au delà de Migdal-Eder.
22 And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Pendant qu'Israël demeurait dans cette contrée, Ruben vint et coucha avec Bala, concubine de son père; et Israël l'apprit. Les fils de Jacob étaient au nombre de douze.
23 The sons of Lea, the firstborn of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.
Fils de Lia: Ruben, premier-né de Jacob, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issachar et Zabulon.
24 And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
Fils de Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin.
25 And the sons of Balla, the handmaid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
Fils de Bala, servante de Rachel: Dan et Nephthali.
26 And the sons of Zelpha, the handmaid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
Fils de Zelpha, servante de Lia: Gad et Aser. Ce sont là les fils de Jacob, qui lui naquirent à Paddan-Aram.
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
Jacob arriva auprès d'Isaac, son père, à Mambré, à Qiryath-Arbé, qui est Hébron, où avaient séjourné Abraham et Isaac.
28 And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
Les jours d'Isaac furent de cent quatre-vingts ans.
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
Isaac expira et mourut, et il fut réuni à son peuple, vieux et rassasié de jours. Esaü et Jacob, ses fils, l'enterrèrent.
