Genesis 25
1 In truth, Abraham took another wife, named Keturah.
Abraham prit une autre femme, qui s'appelait Ketura.
2 And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Elle lui enfanta Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak et Shuah.
3 Likewise, Jokshan conceived Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Jokshan engendra Saba et Dedan. Les fils de Dedan furent Asshurim, Letushim et Leummim.
4 And truly, from Midian was born Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.
Les fils de Madian furent: Épha, Épher, Hanoch, Abida et Eldaa. Tous ceux-là étaient les enfants de Ketura.
5 And Abraham gave everything that he possessed to Isaac.
Abraham donna tout ce qu'il avait à Isaac,
6 But to the sons of the concubines he gave generous gifts, and he separated them from his son Isaac, while he still lived, toward the eastern region.
mais Abraham fit des dons aux fils de ses concubines. Tant qu'il vivait encore, il les envoya loin de son fils Isaac, vers l'orient, dans le pays d'Orient.
7 Now the days of Abraham’s life were one hundred and seventy-five years.
Voici les jours des années de la vie d'Abraham, qu'il a vécues: cent soixante-quinze ans.
8 And declining, he died in a good old age, and at an advanced stage of life, and full of days. And he was gathered to his people.
Abraham rendit l'esprit, et mourut dans un âge avancé, un vieillard rassasié d'années, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron, of the son of Zohar the Hittite, across from the region of Mamre,
Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l'enterrèrent dans la caverne de Macpéla, dans le champ d'Éphron, fils de Zohar, le Hittite, qui est près de Mamré,
10 which he had bought from the sons of Heth. There he was buried, with his wife Sarah.
champ qu'Abraham avait acheté des fils de Heth. Abraham y fut enterré avec Sara, sa femme.
11 And after his passing, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near the well named ‘of the One who lives and who sees.’
Après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit Isaac, son fils. Isaac habitait près de Beer Lahai Roi.
12 These are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to him.
Or voici l'histoire des générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, qu'Agar l'Égyptienne, servante de Sara, enfanta à Abraham.
13 And these are the names of his sons according to their language and generations. The firstborn of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Voici les noms des fils d'Ismaël, selon leurs noms, d'après l'ordre de leur naissance: le premier-né d'Ismaël, Nebaioth, puis Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 likewise Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad, and Tema, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish et Kedemah.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael. And these are their names throughout their fortresses and towns: the twelve princes of their tribes.
Ce sont là les fils d`Ismaël, et ce sont là leurs noms, selon leurs villages et selon leurs campements: douze princes, selon leurs nations.
17 And the years of the life of Ishmael that passed were one hundred and thirty-seven. And declining, he died and was placed with his people.
Voici les années de la vie d'Ismaël: cent trente-sept ans. Il rendit l'esprit et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
18 Now he had lived from Havilah as far as Shur, which overlooks Egypt as it approaches the Assyrians. He passed away in the sight of all his brothers.
Ils habitèrent depuis Havila jusqu'à Shur, qui est en face de l'Égypte, en allant vers l'Assyrie. Il habitait en face de tous ses parents.
19 Likewise, these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham conceived Isaac,
Voici l'histoire des générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham devint le père d'Isaac.
20 who, when he was forty years old, took Rebekah, the sister of Laban, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian from Mesopotamia, as a wife.
Isaac avait quarante ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bethuel, l'Araméen de Paddan Aram, sœur de Laban l'Araméen.
21 And Isaac beseeched the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And he heard him, and he gave conception to Rebekah.
Isaac implora Yahvé pour sa femme, car elle était stérile. Il implora Yahvé, et Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
22 But the little ones struggled in her womb. So she said, “If it was to be so with me, what need was there to conceive?” And she went to consult the Lord.
Les enfants luttaient ensemble dans son sein. Elle dit: « Si c'est ainsi, pourquoi est-ce que je vis? » Elle alla consulter l'Éternel.
23 And responding, he said, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be divided out of your womb, and one people will overcome the other people, and the elder will serve the younger.”
L'Éternel lui répondit, « Deux nations sont dans ton sein. Deux peuples seront séparés de votre corps. L'un des peuples sera plus fort que les autres. L'aîné servira le cadet. »
24 Now the time had arrived to give birth, and behold, twins were discovered in her womb.
Lorsque les jours où elle devait accoucher furent accomplis, voici qu'il y avait des jumeaux dans son sein.
25 He who departed first was red, and entirely hairy like a pelt; and his name was called Esau. At once the other departed and he held his brother’s foot in his hand; and because of this he was called Jacob.
Le premier sortit tout rouge, comme un vêtement de poil. On lui donna le nom d'Ésaü.
26 Isaac was sixty years old when the little ones were born to him.
Après cela, son frère sortit, et sa main saisit le talon d'Ésaü. On l'appela Jacob. Isaac avait soixante ans lorsqu'elle les mit au monde.
27 And as adults, Esau became a knowledgeable hunter and a man of agriculture, but Jacob, a simple man, dwelt in tents.
Les garçons grandirent. Ésaü était un chasseur habile, un homme des champs. Jacob était un homme tranquille, qui vivait sous la tente.
28 Isaac was fond of Esau, because he was fed from his hunting; and Rebekah loved Jacob.
Isaac aimait Ésaü, car il mangeait son gibier. Rébecca aimait Jacob.
29 Then Jacob boiled a small meal. Esau, when he had arrived weary from the field,
Jacob faisait bouillir un ragoût. Ésaü revint des champs, et il était affamé.
30 said to him, “Give me this red stew, for I am very tired.” For this reason, his name was called Edom.
Ésaü dit à Jacob: « Donne-moi un peu de ce ragoût rouge, car je suis affamé. » C'est pourquoi on l'appela Edom.
31 Jacob said to him, “Sell me your right of the firstborn.”
Jacob a dit: « Vends-moi d'abord ton droit d'aînesse. »
32 He answered, “Lo, I am dying, what will the right of the firstborn provide for me?”
Ésaü dit: « Voici, je vais mourir. A quoi me servira le droit d'aînesse? »
33 Jacob said, “So then, swear to me.” Esau swore to him, and he sold his right of the firstborn.
Jacob a dit: « Jure-le-moi d'abord. » Il lui a juré. Il a vendu son droit d'aînesse à Jacob.
34 And so, taking bread and the food of lentils, he ate, and he drank, and he went away, giving little weight to having sold the right of the firstborn.
Jacob donna à Ésaü du pain et du ragoût de lentilles. Il mangea et but, se leva et s'en alla. Ésaü méprisa donc son droit d'aînesse.
