Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did prove Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
Et il arriva, après ces choses, que Dieu éprouva Abraham, et lui dit: Abraham! Et il dit: Me voici.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, 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 will tell thee of.
Et [Dieu] 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 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 rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Et Abraham se leva de bon matin et bâta son âne et prit avec lui deux de ses jeunes hommes, et Isaac, son fils; et il fendit le bois pour l’holocauste, et se leva, 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 leva ses yeux, et 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 come again to you.
Et Abraham dit à ses jeunes hommes: Restez ici, vous, avec l’âne; et moi et l’enfant nous irons jusque-là, et nous adorerons; et nous reviendrons vers vous.
6 And Abraham took the wood of 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; et il prit dans sa main le feu et le couteau; et ils allaient les deux ensemble.
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, 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 dit: 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 dit: Mon fils, Dieu se pourvoira de l’agneau pour l’holocauste. Et ils allaient les deux ensemble.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
Et ils arrivèrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit. Et Abraham bâtit là l’autel, et arrangea le bois, et lia Isaac, son fils, et le mit sur l’autel, sur le bois.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Et Abraham étendit sa main et prit le couteau pour égorger son fils.
11 And 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 dit: Me voici.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.
Et il dit: N’étends pas ta main sur l’enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car maintenant je sais que tu crains Dieu, et que tu ne m’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind [him] a ram caught in the 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 ses yeux, et vit, et voici, il y avait derrière [lui] un bélier retenu à un buisson par les cornes; et Abraham alla et prit le bélier, et l’offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.
Et Abraham appela le nom de ce lieu-là: Jéhovah-Jiré, comme on dit aujourd’hui: En la montagne de l’Éternel il y sera pourvu.
15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven,
Et l’Ange de l’Éternel cria des cieux à Abraham, une seconde fois,
16 and said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
et dit: J’ai juré par moi-même, dit l’Éternel: Parce que tu as fait cette chose-là, et que tu n’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,
17 that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
certainement je te bénirai, et je multiplierai abondamment ta semence comme les étoiles des cieux et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta semence possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Et toutes les nations de la terre se béniront en ta semence, parce que tu as écouté ma voix.
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Et Abraham retourna vers ses jeunes hommes; et ils se levèrent, et s’en allèrent ensemble à Beër-Shéba; et Abraham habita à Beër-Shéba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also hath borne children unto thy brother Nahor;
Et il arriva, après ces choses, qu’on rapporta à Abraham en disant: Voici, Milca, elle aussi, a enfanté des enfants à Nakhor, ton frère:
21 Uz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram;
Uts, son premier-né; et Buz, son frère; et Kemuel, père d’Aram;
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
et Késed, et Hazo, et Pildash, et Jidlaph, et Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
Or Bethuel engendra Rebecca. Milca enfanta ces huit à Nakhor, frère d’Abraham.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bare Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Et sa concubine, nommée Reüma, elle aussi enfanta Tébakh, et Gakham, et Thakhash, et Maaca.
