Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did prove Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
Après cela, Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve et lui dit: " Abraham! " Il répondit: " Me voici. "
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
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 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told 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 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut le lieu de loin;
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the donkey; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again 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 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them 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 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
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 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them 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 which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the 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 Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Et Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour égorger son fils.
11 And the angel of Yhwh called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Alors l'ange de Yahweh lui cria du ciel et dit: " Abraham! Abraham! " Il répondit: " Me voici. "
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
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 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead 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 Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah–jireh, Yhwh Will Provide: as it is said to this day, In the mount of Yhwh it shall be seen.
Et Abraham nomma ce lieu: " Yahweh-Yiréh ", d'où l'on dit aujourd'hui: " Sur la montagne de Yahweh, il sera vu. "
15 And the angel of Yhwh called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
L'ange de Yahweh appela du ciel Abraham une seconde fois, en disant:
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith Yhwh, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
" 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 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his 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 thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
En ta postérité seront bénies toutes les nations de la terre, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix. "
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer–sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer–sheba.
Abraham retourna vers ses serviteurs et, s'étant levés, ils s'en allèrent ensemble à Bersabée. Et Abraham habita à Bersabée.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
Après ces événements, on apporta à Abraham cette nouvelle: " Voici, Melcha a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Hus, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Camuel, père d'Aram,
22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Cased, Azau, Pheldas, Jedlaph et Bathuel. "
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
Bathuel fut père de Rébecca. Ce sont là les huit fils que Melcha enfanta à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Sa concubine, nommée Roma, eut aussi des enfants: Tabée, Gaham, Taas et Maacha.
