Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and he said unto him, Abraham, and he said, Behold, here am I.
Il arriva, après ces choses, que Dieu éprouva Abraham, et il lui dit: Abraham! et il répondit: Me voici.
2 And he said: Take now thy son, thy only one, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I tell thee of.
Et il dit: Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t'en au pays de Morija, et là offre-le en holocauste, sur une des montagnes que je te dirai.
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and arose, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Et Abraham se leva de bon matin, bâta son âne, prit deux de ses serviteurs avec lui, et Isaac son fils; il fendit du bois pour l'holocauste; puis il partit et s'en alla vers le lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, vit le lieu de loin.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and then come again to you.
Et Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: Demeurez ici avec l'âne. Moi et l'enfant nous irons jusque-là, et nous adorerons; puis nous reviendrons vers vous.
6 And Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
Et Abraham prit le bois de l'holocauste, et le mit sur Isaac son fils; puis il prit dans sa main le feu et le couteau, et ils s'en allèrent tous d'eux ensemble.
7 And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father, and said, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, here is the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?
Alors Isaac parla à Abraham son père, et dit: Mon père! Abraham répondit: Me voici, mon fils. Et il dit: Voici le feu et le bois; mais où est l'agneau pour l'holocauste?
8 And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son; so they went both of them together.
Et Abraham répondit: Mon fils, Dieu se pourvoira lui-même de l'agneau pour l'holocauste. Et ils marchèrent tous deux ensemble.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built there an altar, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar above the wood.
Et ils vinrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit, et Abraham y bâtit l'autel, et rangea le bois; et il lia Isaac son fils, et le mit sur l'autel, par-dessus le bois.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Puis Abraham étendit la main, et prit le couteau pour égorger son fils.
11 But the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
Mais l'ange de l'Éternel lui cria des cieux, et dit: Abraham, Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici.
12 And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou the least unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thy only one, from me.
Et il dit: Ne porte pas ta main sur l'enfant, et ne lui fais rien. Car maintenant je sais que tu crains Dieu, puisque tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a ram that was afterward 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.
Et Abraham leva les yeux et regarda, et voici derrière lui un bélier, retenu dans un buisson par les cornes. Alors 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, Adonai-yireh: as it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
Et Abraham appela ce lieu-là, Jéhova-jiré (l'Éternel y pourvoira). De sorte qu'on dit aujourd'hui: Sur la montagne de l'Éternel il y sera pourvu.
15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham the second time out of heaven,
Et l'ange de l'Éternel cria des cieux à Abraham pour la seconde fois,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, since, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only one:
Et dit: Je jure par moi-même, dit l'Éternel, que, puisque tu as fait cela, et que tu n'as point refusé ton fils, ton unique,
17 That I will greatly bless thee, and I will exceedingly multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Je te bénirai certainement, et je multiplierai ta postérité comme les étoiles des cieux, et comme le sable qui est sur le 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 that thou hast obeyed my voice.
Et toutes les nations de la terre seront bénies en ta postérité, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix.
19 And Abraham returned unto his young men; and they rose up, and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
Alors Abraham retourna vers ses serviteurs; et ils se levèrent et s'en allèrent ensemble à Béer-Shéba; et Abraham demeura à Béer-Shéba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also, hath born children unto Nachor thy brother;
Or, après ces choses, on fit rapport à Abraham, en disant: Voici, Milca a enfanté, elle aussi, des enfants à Nachor ton frère:
21 'Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uts son premier-né, Buz son frère, Kémuël, père d'Aram;
22 And Kesed, and Chazo, and Pildash, and Yidlaph, and Bethuel.
Késed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph et Béthuël.
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah; these eight did Milcah bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother.
Et Béthuël a engendré Rébecca. Milca enfanta ces huit à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebach, and Gacham, and Thachash, and Maachah.
Et sa concubine, nommée Réuma, enfanta, elle aussi, Thébah, Gaham, Tahash et Maaca.
