Genesis 22
1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
Et après ces choses il arriva que Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve; et Il lui dit: Abraham! Et il 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."
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 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.
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 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
Le troisième jour Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut le lieu de loin.
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."
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 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.
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 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?"
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 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
Et Abraham répondit: Dieu verra à se trouver la victime pour l'holocauste, mon fils. Puis ils cheminèrent les 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.
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 Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Et Abraham étendit la main et prit 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."
Alors l'ange de l'Éternel l'appela des cieux et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
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."
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 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.
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 Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
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 The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
Et l'ange de l'Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham des cieux
16 and said, "I have sworn by myself," says the LORD, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
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 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 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 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 chercheront leur bénédiction dans ta postérité par la raison 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.
Et Abraham rejoignit ses valets; puis ils se levèrent, et gagnèrent ensemble Beerséba, et Abraham demeura à Beerséba. –
20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Et sur ces entrefaites Abraham reçut un renseignement conçu en ces termes: Voici, Milca a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uts, son premier-né, et Buz, son frère, et Kemuel, père d'Aram,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
et Chésed et Hazo et Pila: das et Jidlaph et Bethuel.
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Et Bethuel a engendré Rebecca: Ce sont là les huit enfants que Milca a enfantés à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
24 His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Et sa concubine, nommée Reumah, a aussi enfanté Tebach et Gaham et Thachas et Maacha.
