Genesis 25
1 Abraham [Father of a multitude] took another wife, and her name was Keturah [Incense].
Abraham prit une nouvelle épouse, nommée Ketoura.
2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian [Strife], Ishbak, and Shuah.
EIIe lui enfanta Zimrân, Yokchân, Medân, Midyân, Yichbak et Chouah.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
Yokchân engendra Cheba et Dedân; et les fils de Dedân furent les Achourim, les Letouchim et les Leoummim.
4 The sons of Midian [Strife] were: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah [Incense].
Les enfants de Midyân: Efa, Efer, Hanoc, Abida et Eldaa. Tous ceux-là furent les enfants de Ketoura.
5 Abraham [Father of a multitude] gave all that he had to Isaac [Laughter],
Abraham donna tout ce qu’il possédait à Isaac.
6 but to the sons of Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s concubines, Abraham [Father of a multitude] gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac [Laughter] his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.
Quant aux fils des concubines qu’avait eues Abraham, il leur fit des présents; et tandis qu’il vivait encore, il les relégua loin d’Isaac, son fils, vers l’orient, dans le pays de Kédem.
7 These are the days of the years of Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.
Le nombre des années que vécut Abraham fut de cent soixante-quinze ans.
8 Abraham [Father of a multitude] gave up his spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
Abraham défaillit et mourut, dans une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et satisfait; et il rejoignit ses pères.
9 Isaac [Laughter] and Ishmael [Pays attention God], his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah [Double], in the field of Ephron [Fawn-like], the son of Zohar the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], which is before Mamre [Bitter, Fatness],
Il fut inhumé par Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, dans le caveau de Makpéla, dans le domaine d’Efrôn, fils de Çohar, Héthéen, qui est en face de Mambré;
10 the field which Abraham [Father of a multitude] purchased of the children of Heth [Trembling fear]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] was buried there with Sarah [Princess], his wife.
ce domaine qu’Abraham avait acquis des enfants de Heth. Là furent ensevelis Abraham et Sara son épouse.
11 After the death of Abraham [Father of a multitude], God blessed Isaac [Laughter], his son. Isaac [Laughter] lived by Beer Lahai Roi [Well of the one who lives and sees].
Après la mort d’Abraham, le Seigneur bénit Isaac, son fils. Isaac s’établit prés de la source du Vivant-qui-me-voit.
12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael [Pays attention God], Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s son, whom Hagar [Flight] the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], Sarah [Princess]’s servant, bore to Abraham [Father of a multitude].
Suivent les générations d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, que l’Égyptienne Agar, esclave de Sara, avait enfanté à Abraham.
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael [Pays attention God], by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael [Pays attention God], Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Voici les noms des fils d’Ismaël, désignés selon leur ordre de naissance: le premier-né d’Ismaël, Nebaïoth; puis Kédar, Adbeél, Mibsam;
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Michma, Douma, Massa;
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tèma, Yetour, Nafich et Kédma
16 These are the sons of Ishmael [Pays attention God], and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.
Tels sont les fils d’Ismaël et tels sont leurs noms, chacun dans sa bourgade et dans son domaine; douze chefs de peuplades distinctes.
17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael [Pays attention God]: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.
Le nombre des années de la vie d’Ismaël fut de cent trente-sept ans. Il défaillit et mourut et rejoignit ses pères.
18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt [Abode of slavery], as you go toward Assyria [Level plain]. He lived opposite all his relatives.
Ces peuplades habitaient depuis Havila jusqu’à Chour, en face de l’Égypte, jusque vers Achour. Il s’étendit ainsi à la face de tous ses frères.
19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac [Laughter], Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s son. Abraham [Father of a multitude] became the father of Isaac [Laughter].
Ceci est l’histoire d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham: Abraham engendra Isaac.
20 Isaac [Laughter] was forty years old when he took Rebekah [Securely bound], the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram [Elevated], the sister of Laban [White] the Syrian, to be his wife.
Isaac avait quarante ans lorsqu’il prit pour épouse Rébecca, fille de Bathuel, l’Araméen, du territoire d’Aram, sœur de Laban, l’Araméen.
21 Isaac [Laughter] entreated Adonai for his wife, because she was barren. Adonai was entreated by him, and Rebekah [Securely bound] his wife conceived.
Isaac implora l’Éternel au sujet de sa femme parce qu’elle était stérile; l’Éternel accueillit sa prière et Rébecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
22 The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is so, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Adonai.
Comme les enfants s’entre poussaient dans son sein, elle dit"Si cela est ainsi, à quoi suis-je destinée!" Et elle alla consulter le Seigneur.
23 Adonai said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”
Le Seigneur lui dit: "Deux nations sont dans ton sein et deux peuples sortiront de tes entrailles; un peuple sera plus puissant que l’autre et l’aîné obéira au plus jeune."
24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
L’Époque de sa délivrance arrivée, il se trouva qu’elle portait des jumeaux.
25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau [Hairy].
Le premier qui sortit était roux et tout son corps pareil à une pelisse; on lui donna le nom d’Ésaü.
26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau [Hairy]’s heel. He was named Jacob [Supplanter]. Isaac [Laughter] was sixty years old when she bore them.
Ensuite naquit son frère tenant de la main le talon d’Ésaü et on le nomma Jacob. Isaac avait soixante ans lors de leur naissance.
27 The boys grew. Esau [Hairy] was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob [Supplanter] was a quiet man, living in tents.
Les enfants ayant grandi, Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs, tandis que Jacob, homme inoffensif, vécut sous la tente.
28 Now Isaac [Laughter] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Esau [Hairy], because he ate Esau’s venison. Rebekah [Securely bound] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Jacob [Supplanter].
lsaac préférait Ésaü parce qu’il mettait du gibier dans sa bouche; mais Rébecca préférait Jacob.
29 Jacob [Supplanter] boiled stew. Esau [Hairy] came in from the field, and he was famished.
Un jour Jacob faisait cuire un potage quand Ésaü revint des champs, fatigué.
30 Esau [Hairy] said to Jacob [Supplanter], “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom [Red].
Ésaü dit à Jacob: "Laisse-moi avaler, je te prie, de ce rouge, de ce mets rouge, car je suis fatigué." C’Est à ce propos qu’on le nomma Édom.
31 Jacob [Supplanter] said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
Jacob dit: "Vends-moi d’abord ton droit d’aînesse."
32 Esau [Hairy] said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
Ésaü répondit: "Certes! Je marche à la mort; à quoi me sert donc le droit d’aînesse?"
33 Jacob [Supplanter] said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob [Supplanter].
Jacob dit: "Jure le moi dès à présent." Et il lui fit serment et il vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.
34 Jacob [Supplanter] gave Esau [Hairy] bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau [Hairy] despised his birthright.
Jacob servit à Ésaü du pain et un plat de lentilles; il mangea et but, se leva et ressortit. C’Est ainsi qu’Ésaü dédaigna le droit d’aînesse.
