Genesis 25
1 In truth, Abraham took another wife, named Keturah.
Abraham prit encore une femme, nommée Qetoura.
2 And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Et elle lui enfanta Zamran, Jecsan, Madan, Madian, Jesboc et Sué. —
3 Likewise, Jokshan conceived Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Jecsan engendra Saba et Dadan; les fils de Dadan furent les Assurim, les Latusim et les Laomim. —
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 Epha, Opher, Hénoch, Abida et Eldaa. — Ce sont là tous les fils de Qetoura.
5 And Abraham gave everything that he possessed to Isaac.
Abraham donna tous ses biens 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.
Quant aux fils de ses concubines, il leur donna des présents, et il les envoya de son vivant loin de son fils Isaac, à l’orient, au 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: il vécut 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 expira et mourut dans une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut réuni à 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’Ephron, fils de Séor le Hittite, qui est vis-à-vis de Mambré:
10 which he had bought from the sons of Heth. There he was buried, with his wife Sarah.
c’est le champ qu’Abraham avait acheté des fils de Heth. Là fut enterré Abraham, 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; et Isaac habitait près du puits de Lachaï-Roï.
12 These are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to him.
Voici l’histoire d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, qu’avait enfanté à Abraham Agar l’Egyptienne, servante de Sara.
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 les noms de leurs postérités: premier-né d’Ismaël, Nebaïoth; puis Cédar, Adbéel, Mabsam,
14 likewise Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Masma, Duma, Massa,
15 Hadad, and Tema, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Théma, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.
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, ce sont là leurs noms, selon leurs villages et leurs campements: ce furent les douze chefs de leurs tribus.
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; puis il expira et mourut et il fut réuni à 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.
Ses fils habitèrent depuis Hévila jusqu’à Sur qui est en face de l’Égypte, dans la direction de l’Assyrie. Il s’étendit en face de tous ses frères.
19 Likewise, these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham conceived Isaac,
Voici l’histoire d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham. Abraham engendra 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 était âgé de quarante ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bathuel l’Araméen, de Paddan-Aram, et 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 Yahweh au sujet de sa femme, car elle était stérile; Yahweh l’exauça et Rebecca, sa femme, conçut.
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 se heurtaient dans son sein, et elle dit: « S’il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? » Elle alla consulter Yahweh;
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.”
et Yahweh lui dit: « Deux nations sont dans ton sein; deux peuples, au sortir de tes entrailles, se sépareront; un peuple l’emportera sur l’autre, et l’aîné servira le cadet. »
24 Now the time had arrived to give birth, and behold, twins were discovered in her womb.
Le temps où elle devait enfanter arriva, et voici, il y avait deux 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.
Celui qui sortit le premier était roux, tout entier comme un manteau de poil, et ils l’appelèrent Esaü; ensuite sortit son frère, tenant dans sa main le talon d’Esaü, et on le nomma Jacob.
26 Isaac was sixty years old when the little ones were born to him.
Isaac était âgé de soixante ans quand ils naquirent.
27 And as adults, Esau became a knowledgeable hunter and a man of agriculture, but Jacob, a simple man, dwelt in tents.
Ces enfants grandirent. Esaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob était un homme paisible, demeurant sous la tente.
28 Isaac was fond of Esau, because he was fed from his hunting; and Rebekah loved Jacob.
Isaac prit en affection Esaü, parce qu’il aimait la venaison, et l’affection de Rebecca était pour Jacob.
29 Then Jacob boiled a small meal. Esau, when he had arrived weary from the field,
Comme Jacob faisait un potage, Esaü arriva des champs, accablé de fatigue.
30 said to him, “Give me this red stew, for I am very tired.” For this reason, his name was called Edom.
Esaü dit à Jacob: « Laisse-moi donc manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué. » — C’est pour cela qu’on a donné à Esaü le nom d’Edom. —
31 Jacob said to him, “Sell me your right of the firstborn.”
Jacob 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?”
Esaü répondit: « Voici je m’en vais mourir; que me servira mon droit d’aînesse? »
33 Jacob said, “So then, swear to me.” Esau swore to him, and he sold his right of the firstborn.
Et Jacob dit: « Jure-le-moi d’abord. » Il jura et vendit 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.
Alors Jacob donna à Esaü du pain et du potage de lentilles; celui-ci mangea et but; puis il se leva et s’en alla. C’est ainsi qu’Esaü méprisa le droit d’aînesse.
