Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to 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; là, tu dresseras un autel au Dieu qui t’apparut, lorsque tu fuyais Ésaü, ton frère.
2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
Jacob dit à sa maison 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 arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
Nous nous lèverons, et nous monterons à Béthel; là, je dresserai un autel au Dieu qui m’a exaucé dans le jour de ma détresse, et qui a été avec moi pendant le voyage que j’ai fait.
4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
Ils donnèrent à Jacob tous les dieux étrangers qui étaient entre leurs mains, et les anneaux qui étaient à leurs oreilles. Jacob les enfouit sous le térébinthe qui est près de Sichem.
5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Ensuite ils partirent. La terreur de Dieu se répandit sur les villes qui les entouraient, et l’on ne poursuivit point les fils de Jacob.
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Jacob arriva, lui et tous ceux qui étaient avec lui, à Luz, qui est Béthel, dans le pays de Canaan.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
Il bâtit là un autel, et il appela ce lieu El-Béthel; car c’est là que Dieu s’était révélé à lui lorsqu’il fuyait son frère.
8 But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
Débora, nourrice de Rebecca, mourut; et elle fut enterrée au-dessous de Béthel, sous le chêne auquel on a donné le nom de chêne des pleurs.
9 And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and 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 is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more 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 ton nom sera Israël. Et il lui donna le nom d’Israël.
11 And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company 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: une nation et une multitude de nations naîtront de toi, et des rois sortiront de tes reins.
12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you will I give the land.
Je te donnerai le pays que j’ai donné à Abraham et à Isaac, et je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité après toi.
13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
Dieu s’éleva au-dessus de lui, dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
Et Jacob dressa un monument dans le lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé, un monument de pierres, sur lequel il fit une libation et versa de l’huile.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
Jacob donna le nom de Béthel au lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé.
16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
Ils partirent de Béthel; et il y avait encore une certaine distance jusqu’à Éphrata, lorsque Rachel accoucha. Elle eut un accouchement pénible;
17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you shall have this son also.
et pendant les douleurs de l’enfantement, la sage-femme lui dit: Ne crains point, car tu as encore un fils!
18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
Et comme elle allait rendre l’âme, car elle était mourante, elle lui donna le nom de Ben-Oni; mais le père l’appela Benjamin.
19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
Rachel mourut, et elle fut enterrée sur le chemin d’Éphrata, qui est Bethléhem.
20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
Jacob éleva un monument sur son sépulcre; c’est le monument du sépulcre de Rachel, qui existe encore aujourd’hui.
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
Israël partit; et il dressa sa tente au-delà de Migdal-Éder.
22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelled in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
Pendant qu’Israël habitait cette contrée, Ruben alla coucher avec Bilha, concubine de son père. Et Israël l’apprit. Les fils de Jacob étaient au nombre de douze.
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
Fils de Léa: Ruben, premier-né de Jacob, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar et Zabulon.
24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
Fils de Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin.
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
Fils de Bilha, servante de Rachel: Dan et Nephthali.
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
Fils de Zilpa, servante de Léa: 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 Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Jacob arriva auprès d’Isaac, son père, à Mamré, à Kirjath-Arba, qui est Hébron, où avaient séjourné Abraham et Isaac.
28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
Les jours d’Isaac furent de cent quatre-vingts ans.
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Il expira et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple, âgé et rassasié de jours, et Ésaü et Jacob, ses fils, l’enterrèrent.
