Genesis 22
1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
Il arriva, après ces faits, que Dieu éprouva Abraham. II lui dit: "Abraham!" II répondit: "Me voici."
2 He said, "Now take your son, your only one, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
II reprit "Prends ton fils, ton fils unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac; achemine-toi vers la terre de Moria et là offre-le en holocauste sur une montagne que je te désignerai."
3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
Abraham se leva de bonne heure, sangla son âne, emmena ses deux serviteurs et Isaac, son fils et ayant fendu le bois du sacrifice, il se mit en chemin pour le lieu que lui avait indiqué le Seigneur.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut l’endroit dans le lointain.
5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there, and we will worship, and come back to you."
Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: "Tenez-vous ici avec l’âne; moi et le jeune homme nous irons jusque là-bas, nous nous prosternerons et nous reviendrons vers vous."
6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
Abraham prit le bois du sacrifice, le chargea sur Isaac son fils, prit en main le feu et le couteau et ils allèrent tous deux ensemble.
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
Isaac, s’adressant à Abraham son père, dit "Mon père!" Il répondit: "Me voici mon fils." II reprit: "Voici le feu et le bois, mais où est l’agneau de l’holocauste?"
8 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
Abraham répondit: "Dieu choisira lui-même l’agneau de l’holocauste mon fils!" Et ils allèrent tous deux ensemble.
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Ils arrivèrent à l’endroit que Dieu lui avait indiqué. Abraham y construisit un autel, disposa le bois, lia Isaac son fils et le plaça sur l’autel, par-dessus le bois.
10 Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Abraham étendit la main et saisit le couteau pour immoler son fils.
11 But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "Here I am."
Mais un envoyé du Seigneur l’appela du haut du ciel, en disant: "Abraham! Abraham!"
12 He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me."
II répondit: "Me voici." II reprit: "Ne porte pas la main sur ce jeune homme, ne lui fais aucun mal! car, désormais, j’ai constaté que tu honores Dieu, toi qui ne m’as pas refusé ton fils, ton fils unique!"
13 And Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Abraham, levant les yeux, remarqua qu’un bélier, derrière lui, s’était embarrassé les cornes dans un buisson. Abraham alla prendre ce bélier et l’offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
14 Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
Abraham dénomma cet endroit: Adonaï-Yiré; d’où l’on dit aujourd’hui: "Sur le mont d’Adônaï-Yéraé."
15 The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
L’Envoyé de l’Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham du haut du ciel,
16 and said, "I have sworn by myself," says Jehovah, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
et dit: "Je jure par moi-même, a dit l’Éternel, que parce que tu as agi ainsi, parce que tu n’as point épargné ton enfant, ton fils unique,
17 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your offspring like the stars of the sky, and like the sand which is on the seashore; and your offspring will possess the gate of their enemies.
je te comblerai de mes faveurs; je multiplierai ta race comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable du rivage de la mer et ta postérité conquerra les portes de ses ennemis.
18 And through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
Et toutes les nations de la terre s’estimeront heureuses par ta postérité, en récompense de ce que tu as obéi à ma voix."
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Abraham retourna vers ses serviteurs; ils se remirent en route ensemble pour Beer Shava, où Abraham continua d’habiter.
20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Après cet événement, Abraham reçut les nouvelles suivantes: "Milka, elle aussi, a donné des enfants à Nahor ton frère:
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Ouç, son premier-né; Bouz, son frère; Kemouel, père d’Aram;
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
Késed, Hazo, Pildach, Yidlaf et Bathuel,
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
lequel Bathuel a engendré Rébecca." Milka avait donné ces huit fils à Nahor, frère d’Abraham.
24 His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Sa concubine, nommée Reouma, avait eu aussi des enfants: Tébah, Gaham, Tahach et Maaka.
