Genesis 22
1 After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
Après cela, Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve et lui dit: " Abraham! " Il répondit: " Me voici. "
2 He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
Et Dieu dit: " Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t'en au pays de Moria, et là offre-le en holocauste sur l'une des montagnes que je t'indiquerai. "
3 And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
Abraham se leva de bon matin et, ayant sellé son âne, il prit avec lui deux de ses serviteurs et son fils Isaac; il fendit le bois de l'holocauste et partit pour aller au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.
4 Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut le lieu de loin;
5 And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
et Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: " Restez ici avec l'âne; moi et l'enfant, nous voulons aller jusque-là et adorer, puis nous reviendrons vers vous. "
6 He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
Et Abraham prit le bois de l'holocauste, et le mit sur Isaac, son fils, lui-même portait dans sa main le feu et le couteau, et ils s'en allèrent tous deux ensemble.
7 Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
Isaac parla à Abraham, son père, et dit: " Mon père! " Il répondit: " Me voici, mon fils. " Et Isaac dit: " Voici le feu et le bois; mais où est l'agneau pour l'holocauste? "
8 But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
Abraham répondit: " Dieu verra à trouver l'agneau pour l'holocauste, mon fils. " Et ils allaient tous deux ensemble.
9 And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
Lorsqu'ils furent arrivés au lieu que Dieu lui avait désigné, Abraham y éleva l'autel et arrangea le bois; puis il lia Isaac, son fils, et le mit sur l'autel, au-dessus du bois.
10 And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
Et Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour égorger son fils.
11 And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
Alors l'ange de Yahweh lui cria du ciel et dit: " Abraham! Abraham! " Il répondit: " Me voici. "
12 And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
Et l'ange dit: " Ne porte pas la 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 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
Abraham, ayant levé les yeux, vit derrière lui un bélier pris 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 he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
Et Abraham nomma ce lieu: " Yahweh-Yiréh ", d'où l'on dit aujourd'hui: " Sur la montagne de Yahweh, il sera vu. "
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
L'ange de Yahweh appela du ciel Abraham une seconde fois, en disant:
16 “By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
" Je l'ai juré par moi-même, dit Yahweh: parce que tu as fait cela, et que tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,
17 I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
je te bénirai; je multiplierai ta postérité comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est au bord de la mer, et ta postérité possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
18 And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
En ta postérité seront bénies toutes les nations de la terre, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix. "
19 Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
Abraham retourna vers ses serviteurs et, s'étant levés, ils s'en allèrent ensemble à Bersabée. Et Abraham habita à Bersabée.
20 After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
Après ces événements, on apporta à Abraham cette nouvelle: " Voici, Melcha a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
21 Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
Hus, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Camuel, père d'Aram,
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
Cased, Azau, Pheldas, Jedlaph et Bathuel. "
23 as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
Bathuel fut père de Rébecca. Ce sont là les huit fils que Melcha enfanta à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
24 In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Sa concubine, nommée Roma, eut aussi des enfants: Tabée, Gaham, Taas et Maacha.
