Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Behold! I [am here].
Et après ces choses il arriva que Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve; et Il lui dit: Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
2 And he said, Take your son, the beloved one, whom you have loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
Et Il dit: Eh bien! prends ton fils, ton unique, que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t'en au pays de Moriah, et là offre-le en holocauste sur l'une des montagnes que je te dirai.
3 And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole burnt offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
Et Abraham se leva Je matin et bâta son âne, et prit deux de ses valets avec lui, et Isaac, son fils, et il fendit du bois pour l'holocauste, et il se leva et prit son chemin vers le lieu que Dieu lui avait indiqué.
4 on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut le lieu de loin.
5 And Abraam said to his servants, Sit you here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you.
Alors Abraham dit à ses valets: Restez ici avec l'âne, et moi et l'enfant nous irons jusque-là, et nous adorerons, puis nous vous rejoindrons.
6 And Abraam took the wood of the whole burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together.
Puis Abraham prit le bois de l'holocauste, et en chargea Isaac, son fils, et il prit en sa main le feu et le couteau; et ils s'acheminèrent les deux ensemble.
7 And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole burnt offering?
Et Isaac parla à Abraham, son père, et dit: Mon père! Et il répondit: Me voici, mon fils. Et il dit: Voici bien le feu et le bois; mais où est la victime pour l'holocauste?
8 And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole burnt offering, [my] son. And both having gone together,
Et Abraham répondit: Dieu verra à se trouver la victime pour l'holocauste, mon fils. Puis ils cheminèrent les deux ensemble.
9 came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Et ils arrivèrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit, et Abraham y éleva l'autel, et disposa le bûcher, et lia Isaac, son fils, et le plaça sur l'autel par dessus le bûcher.
10 And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to kill his son.
Et Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour immoler son fils.
11 And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
Alors l'ange de l'Éternel l'appela des cieux et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
12 And he said, Lay not your hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, and for my sake you have not spared your beloved son.
Et il dit: Ne porte pas la main sur l'enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car maintenant je sais que tu crains Dieu, et tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
13 And Abraam lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering in the place of Isaac his son.
Alors Abraham leva les yeux et regarda, et voilà que derrière lui un bélier était pris par les cornes dans le hallier, et Abraham alla prendre le bélier, et il l'offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
14 And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord has seen; that they might say today, In the mount the Lord was seen.
Et Abraham donna à ce lieu le nom de: L'Éternel verra; d'où vient l'expression d'aujourd'hui: A la montagne de l'Éternel Il se rendra visible.
15 And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and on my account have not spared your beloved son,
Et l'ange de l'Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham des cieux
16 surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and your seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
et dit: Je jure par moi-même, déclare l'Éternel, que parce que tu as accompli cet acte, et n'as point refusé ton fils, ton unique,
17 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice.
je te bénirai et multiplierai ta postérité comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta postérité sera maîtresse de la porte de ses ennemis.
18 And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam lived at the well of the oath.
Et toutes les nations de la terre chercheront leur bénédiction dans ta postérité par la raison que tu as obéi à ma voix.
19 And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor your brother,
Et Abraham rejoignit ses valets; puis ils se levèrent, et gagnèrent ensemble Beerséba, et Abraham demeura à Beerséba. –
20 Uz the firstborn, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
Et sur ces entrefaites Abraham reçut un renseignement conçu en ces termes: Voici, Milca a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
21 Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca;
Uts, son premier-né, et Buz, son frère, et Kemuel, père d'Aram,
22 these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam.
et Chésed et Hazo et Pila: das et Jidlaph et Bethuel.
23 And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha.
Et Bethuel a engendré Rebecca: Ce sont là les huit enfants que Milca a enfantés à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
Et sa concubine, nommée Reumah, a aussi enfanté Tebach et Gaham et Thachas et Maacha.
