Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to you, when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.
Cependant Dieu dit à Jacob: Lève-toi, et monte à Béthel; demeure là, et fais un autel au Dieu qui t’apparut, quand tu fuyais Esaü ton frère.
2 And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
Jacob donc, toute sa maison assemblée, dit: Jetez les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieu de vous, purifiez-vous, et changez vos vêtements.
3 And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an altar to God who listened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
Levez-vous et montons à Béthel, afin que nous fassions là un autel au Dieu qui m’a exaucé au jour de ma tribulation et qui a été le compagnon de mon voyage.
4 And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
Ils lui donnèrent donc tous les dieux étrangers qu’ils avaient, et les pendants qui étaient à leurs oreilles; et lui les enfouit sous le térébinthe qui est derrière la ville de Sichem.
5 So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
Et lorsqu’ils furent partis, la terreur de Dieu saisit toutes les villes d’alentour, et on n’osa pas les poursuivre dans leur retraite.
6 And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Jacob donc vint à Luza, qui est dans la terre de Chanaan, et surnommée Béthel, lui et tous ses gens avec lui.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
Il bâtit là un autel, et il appela ce lieu du nom de Maison de Dieu; car c’est là que lui apparut Dieu, lorsqu’il fuyait son frère.
8 And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
Dans le même temps mourut Débora, nourrice de Rébecca, et elle fut ensevelie au pied de Béthel sous le chêne: et on donna à ce lieu le nom de Chêne de pleur.
9 And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
Mais Dieu apparut de nouveau à Jacob, après qu’il fut revenu de la Mésopotamie de Syrie, et il le bénit,
10 And God said to him, Your name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; and he called his name Israel.
Disant: Tu ne seras plus appelé Jacob, mais Israël sera ton nom. Et il l’appela Israël.
11 And God said to him, I am your God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins.
Il lui dit aussi: Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant; crois et te multiplie; des peuples et une foule de nations viendront de toi, et des rois sortiront de tes flancs;
12 And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to you; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to your seed after you.
Et la terre que j’ai donnée à Abraham et à Isaac, je te la donnerai, à toi et à ta postérité après toi.
13 And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
Et il s’éloigna de lui.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
Mais lui érigea un monument de pierre au lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé, faisant des libations dessus et y répandant de l’huile;
15 And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
Et donnant à ce lieu le nom de Béthel.
16 [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew near to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labor.
Or, parti de là, il vint au printemps dans la terre qui conduit à Ephrata. Comme Rachel y était en travail,
17 And it came to pass in her hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for you shall also have this son.
À cause de la difficulté de l’enfantement, elle commença à être en danger. Or la sage-femme lui dit: Ne crains point; car tu auras encore ce fils.
18 And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.
Mais son âme étant près de sortir par l’excès de la douleur, et la mort déjà s’approchant, elle appela son fils du nom de Bénoni, c’est-à-dire, fils de ma douleur; mais son père l’appela Benjamin, c’est-à-dire, fils de la droite.
19 So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
Rachel mourut donc, et elle fut ensevelie sur le chemin qui conduit à Ephrata; c’est Bethléem.
20 And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
Et Jacob érigea un monument sur son sépulcre: c’est le monument du sépulcre de Rachel, jusqu’au présent jour.
21 And it came to pass when Israel lived in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.
Sorti de là, il planta sa tente au-delà de la Tour du troupeau.
22 And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Et pendant qu’il habitait en cette contrée, Ruben s’en alla et dormit avec Bala, seconde femme de son père; ce qui ne fut nullement ignoré de lui. Or, les fils de Jacob étaient douze:
23 The sons of Lea, the firstborn of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.
Les fils de Lia: Ruben, premier-né, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issachar et Zabulon;
24 And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
Les fils de Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin;
25 And the sons of Balla, the handmaid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
Les fils de Bala, servante de Rachel: Dan et Nephtali;
26 And the sons of Zelpha, the handmaid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
Les fils de Zelpha, servante de Lia: Gad et Aser. Ce sont là les fils de Jacob qui lui naquirent en Mésopotamie de Syrie.
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
Jacob vint aussi vers Isaac son père à Mambré, ville d’Arbée (c’est Hébron), en laquelle demeurèrent comme étrangers Abraham et Isaac.
28 And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
Et les jours d’Isaac complétèrent cent quatre-vingts ans.
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
Et, consumé par l’âge, il mourut; et il fut réuni à son peuple, vieux et plein de jours; et Esaü et Jacob ses fils l’ensevelirent.
