Genesis 27
1 And it comes to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes are too dim for seeing, and he calls [for] his older son Esau and says to him, “My son”; and he says to him, “Here I [am].”
Isaac était devenu vieux, et ses yeux s'étaient obscurcis au point de ne plus voir. Il appela Esaü, son fils aîné, et lui dit: " Mon fils! " Celui-ci lui–répondit: " Me voici. "
2 And he says, “Now behold, I have become aged, I have not known the day of my death;
Isaac dit: " Voici donc, je suis vieux; je ne connais pas le jour de ma mort.
3 and now, please take up your instruments, your quiver, and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt provision for me,
Maintenant donc, prends tes armes, ton carquois et ton arc, va dans la campagne et tue-moi du gibier.
4 and make tasteful things for me, [such] as I have loved, and bring [them] to me, and I eat, so that my soul blesses you before I die.”
Fais-m'en un bon plat, selon mon goût, et apporte-le-moi, que je le mange, afin que mon âme te bénisse avant que je meure. "
5 And Rebekah is listening while Isaac is speaking to his son Esau; and Esau goes to the field to hunt game—to bring in;
— Rebecca entendait pendant qu'Isaac parlait à Esaü, son fils. — Et Esaü s'en alla dans la campagne pour tuer du gibier et l'apporter.
6 and Rebekah has spoken to her son Jacob, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,
Alors Rebecca parla ainsi à Jacob, son fils: " Voici, j'ai entendu ton père qui parlait ainsi à ton frère Esaü:
7 Bring game for me, and make tasteful things for me, and I eat, and bless you before YHWH before my death.
Apporte-moi du gibier et fais-m'en un bon plat, afin que je le mange et que je te bénisse devant Yahweh avant de mourir.
8 And now, my son, listen to my voice, to that which I am commanding you:
Maintenant, mon fils, écoute ma voix dans ce que je vais te commander.
9 Now go to the flock, and take for me two good kids of the goats from there, and I make them tasteful things for your father, [such] as he has loved;
Va au troupeau et prends-moi deux beaux chevreaux; j'en ferai pour ton père un bon plat, selon son goût,
10 and you have taken [them] to your father, and he has eaten, so that his soul blesses you before his death.”
et tu le porteras à ton père, et il en mangera, afin qu'il te bénisse avant de mourir. "
11 And Jacob says to his mother Rebekah, “Behold, my brother Esau [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man,
Jacob répondit à Rebecca, sa mère: " Voici, Esaü, mon frère, est velu, et moi j'ai la peau lisse.
12 it may be my father feels me, and I have been in his eyes as a deceiver, and have brought on me disapproval, and not a blessing”;
Peut-être que mon père me touchera, et je passerai à ses yeux pour m'être joué de lui, et j'attirerai sur moi une malédiction au lieu d'une bénédiction. "
13 and his mother says to him, “On me your disapproval, my son; only listen to my voice, and go, take for me.”
Sa mère lui dit: " Je prends sur moi ta malédiction, mon fils. Ecoute seulement ma voix et va me prendre les chevreaux. "
14 And he goes, and takes, and brings to his mother, and his mother makes tasteful things, [such] as his father has loved;
Jacob alla les prendre et les apporta à sa mère, qui en fit un bon plat, selon le goût de son père.
15 and Rebekah takes the desirable garments of Esau her older son, which [are] with her in the house, and puts them on Jacob her younger son;
Et Rebecca prit les habits d'Esaü, son fils aîné, les plus beaux, qu'elle avait dans la maison, et elle en revêtit Jacob, son fils cadet.
16 and she has put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck,
Puis elle lui couvrit les mains de la peau des chevreaux, ainsi que la partie lisse du cou.
17 and she gives the tasteful things, and the bread which she has made, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Et elle mit dans la main de Jacob, son fils, le bon plat et le pain qu'elle avait préparés.
18 And he comes to his father and says, “My father”; and he says, “Here I [am]; who [are] you, my son?”
Il vint vers son père et dit: " Mon père! " — " Me voici, dit Isaac; qui es-tu, mon fils? "
19 And Jacob says to his father, “I [am] Esau your firstborn; I have done as you have spoken to me; please rise, sit and eat of my game, so that your soul blesses me.”
Jacob répondit à son père: « Je suis Esaü, ton premier-né; j'ai fait ce que tu m'as dit. Lève-toi, je te prie, assieds-toi et mange de ma chasse, afin que ton âme me bénisse. »
20 And Isaac says to his son, “What [is] this you have hurried to find, my son?” And he says, “That which your God YHWH has caused to come before me.”
Isaac dit à son fils: " Comment as-tu trouvé si vite, mon fils? " Jacob, répondit: " C'est que Yahweh, ton Dieu, l'a fait venir devant moi. "
21 And Isaac says to Jacob, “Please come near, and I feel you, my son, whether you [are] he, my son Esau, or not.”
Et Isaac dit à Jacob: " Approche donc, que je te touche, mon fils, pour savoir si tu es bien mon fils Esaü, ou non. "
22 And Jacob comes near to his father Isaac, and he feels him, and says, “The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands hands of Esau.”
Jacob s'étant approché d'Isaac, son père, celui-ci le toucha et dit: " La voix est la voix de Jacob, mais les mains sont les mains d'Esaü. "
23 And he has not discerned him, for his hands have been hairy, as the hands of his brother Esau, and he blesses him,
Il ne le reconnut pas, parce que ses mains étaient velues, comme les mains d'Esaü, son frère, et il le bénit.
24 and says, “You are he—my son Esau?” And he says, “I [am].”
Il dit: " C'est bien toi qui es mon fils Esaü? " — " C'est moi ", répondit Jacob.
25 And he says, “Bring [it] near to me, and I eat of my son’s game, so that my soul blesses you”; and he brings [it] near to him, and he eats; and he brings wine to him, and he drinks.
Et Isaac dit: " Sers-moi, que je mange du gibier de mon fils et que mon âme te bénisse. " Jacob le servit, et il mangea; il lui présenta aussi du vin, et il but.
26 And his father Isaac says to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son”;
Alors Isaac, son père, lui dit: " Approche-toi donc et baise-moi, mon fils. "
27 and he comes near, and kisses him, and he smells the fragrance of his garments, and blesses him, and says, “See, the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which YHWH has blessed;
Jacob s'approcha et le baisa; et Isaac sentit l'odeur de ses vêtements, et il le bénit en disant: " Voici, l'odeur de mon fils est comme l'odeur d'un champ qu'a béni Yahweh. "
28 and God gives to you of the dew of the heavens, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and wine;
Que Dieu te donne de la rosée du ciel et de la graisse de la terre, et abondance de froment et de vin!
29 peoples serve you, and nations bow themselves to you, be mighty over your brothers, and the sons of your mother bow themselves to you; those who curse you [are] cursed, and those who bless you [are] blessed.”
Que des peuples te servent, et que des nations se prosternent devant toi! Sois le maître de tes frères, et que les fils de ta mère se prosternent devant toi! Maudit soit qui te maudira, et béni soit qui te bénira!
30 And it comes to pass, as Isaac has finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of his father Isaac, that his brother Esau has come in from his hunting;
Isaac avait achevé de bénir Jacob, et Jacob venait de quitter Isaac, son père, lorsqu'Esaü, son frère, revint de la chasse.
31 and he also makes tasteful things, and brings to his father, and says to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s game, so that your soul blesses me.”
Il prépara, lui aussi, un bon plat, et l'apporta à son père; et il dit à son père: " Que mon père se lève et mange de la chasse de son fils, afin que ton âme me bénisse. "
32 And his father Isaac says to him, “Who [are] you?” And he says, “I [am] your son, your firstborn, Esau”;
Isaac, son père, lui dit: " Qui es-tu? " Il répondit: " Je suis ton fils, ton premier-né, Esaü. "
33 and Isaac trembles a very great trembling and says, “Who, now, [is] he who has provided game, and brings to me, and I eat of all before you come in, and I bless him? Indeed, he is blessed.”
Isaac fut saisi d'une terreur extrême, et il dit: " Qui est donc celui qui a chassé du gibier et m'en a apporté? J'ai mangé de tout avant que tu vinsses, et je l'ai béni; et il sera béni en effet. "
34 When Esau hears the words of his father, then he cries a very great and bitter cry, and says to his father, “Bless me, me also, O my father”;
Lorsqu'Esaü eut entendu les paroles de son père, il jeta un grand cri, une plainte très amère, et il dit à son père: " Bénis-moi, moi aussi, mon père. "
35 and he says, “Your brother has come with subtlety, and takes your blessing.”
Isaac dit: " Ton frère est venu avec ruse, et il a pris ta bénédiction. "
36 And he says, “Is it because he whose name is called Jacob takes me by the heel these two times? He has taken my birthright; and behold, now he has taken my blessing”; he also says, “Have you not kept back a blessing for me?”
Esaü dit: " Est-ce parce qu'on l'appelle Jacob qu'il m'a supplanté deux fois? Il a pris mon droit d'aînesse, et voilà maintenant qu'il a pris ma bénédiction! " Il ajouta: " N'as-tu pas réservé pour moi une bénédiction? "
37 And Isaac answers and says to Esau, “Behold, a mighty one have I set him over you, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants, and [with] grain and wine have I sustained him; and for you now, what will I do, my son?”
Isaac répondit et dit à Esaü: " Voici, je l'ai établi ton maître et je lui ai donné tous ses frères pour serviteurs, et je l'ai pourvu de froment et de vin; et pour toi donc, que puis-je faire, mon fils?
38 And Esau says to his father, “One blessing have you my father? Bless me, me also, O my father”; and Esau lifts up his voice, and weeps.
Esaü dit à son père: " N'as-tu que cette seule bénédiction, mon père? Bénis-moi, moi aussi, mon père! " Et Esaü éleva la voix et pleura.
39 And his father Isaac answers and says to him, “Behold, of the fatness of the earth is your dwelling, and of the dew of the heavens from above;
Isaac, son père, lui répondit: " Privée de la graisse de la terre sera ta demeure, privée de la rosée qui descend du ciel.
40 and by your sword you live, and your brother serves you; and it has come to pass, when you rule, that you have broken his yoke from off your neck.”
Tu vivras de ton épée, et tu seras asservi à ton frère; mais il arrivera que, en secouant son joug, tu le briseras de dessus ton cou. "
41 And Esau hates Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau says in his heart, “The days of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay my brother Jacob.”
Esaü conçut de la haine contre Jacob à cause de la bénédiction que son père lui avait donnée, et Esaü dit en son cœur: " Les jours où je ferai le deuil de mon père approchent; alors je tuerai Jacob, mon frère. "
42 And the words of Esau her older son are declared to Rebekah, and she sends and calls for Jacob her younger son, and says to him, “Behold, your brother Esau is comforting himself in regard to you—to slay you;
On rapporta à Rebecca les paroles d'Esaü, son fils aîné. Elle fit appeler Jacob, son fils cadet, et lui dit: " Voici qu'Esaü, ton frère, veut se venger de toi en te tuant.
43 and now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran,
Maintenant donc, mon fils, écoute ma voix: lève-toi, fuis vers Laban, mon frère, à Haran;
44 and you have dwelt with him some days, until your brother’s fury turns back,
et tu resteras quelque temps auprès de lui, jusqu'à ce que la fureur de ton frère soit apaisée,
45 until your brother’s anger turns back from you, and he has forgotten that which you have done to him, and I have sent and taken you from there; why am I bereaved even of you both the same day?”
jusqu'à ce que la colère de ton frère se soit détournée de toi, et qu'il ait oublié ce que tu lui as fait; alors je t'enverrai chercher de là. Pourquoi serais-je privée de vous deux en un même jour? "
46 And Rebekah says to Isaac, “I have been disgusted with my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these—from the daughters of the land—why do I live?”
Rebecca dit à Isaac: " Je suis dégoûtée de la vie, à cause des filles de Heth. Si Jacob prend une femme, comme celles-là, parmi les filles de Heth, parmi les filles de ce pays, à quoi me sert la vie? "
