Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
Après ces choses, Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve, et lui dit: « Abraham! » Il a dit: « Je suis là. »
2 And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto thee.
Il dit: « Prends maintenant ton fils, ton fils unique, Isaac, que tu aimes, et va au pays de Moriah. Là, tu l'offriras en holocauste sur l'une des montagnes dont je te parlerai. »
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to him.
Abraham se leva de bon matin, sella son âne, prit avec lui deux de ses jeunes gens, et son fils Isaac. Il fendit le bois pour l'holocauste, se leva, et alla au lieu dont Dieu lui avait parlé.
4 It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour, Abraham leva les yeux, et vit le lieu au loin.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto you.
Abraham dit à ses jeunes gens: « Reste ici avec l'âne. Le garçon et moi, nous irons là-bas. Nous nous prosternerons, et nous reviendrons vers toi. »
6 So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, both of them together.
Abraham prit le bois de l'holocauste et le posa sur son fils Isaac. Il prit dans sa main le feu et le couteau. Ils partirent tous deux ensemble.
7 Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
Isaac parla à Abraham, son père, et dit: « Mon père? » Il a dit: « Me voici, mon fils. » Il a dit: « Voici le feu et le bois, mais où est l'agneau pour l'holocauste? »
8 And Abraham said, God, will provide for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, together.
Abraham dit: « Dieu fournira lui-même l'agneau pour l'holocauste, mon fils. » Ils partirent donc tous deux ensemble.
9 Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.
Ils arrivèrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait indiqué. Abraham y bâtit l'autel, et disposa le bois en ordre; il lia son fils Isaac, et le déposa sur l'autel, sur le bois.
10 And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour tuer son fils.
11 Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
L'ange de Yahvé l'appela du ciel et dit: « Abraham, Abraham! » Il a dit: « Je suis là. »
12 Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.
Il dit: « Ne pose pas la main sur l'enfant et ne lui fais rien. Car je sais maintenant que tu crains Dieu, puisque tu ne m'as pas caché ton fils, ton fils unique. »
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead of his son.
Abraham leva les yeux et regarda, et il vit que derrière lui se trouvait un bélier pris dans le fourré par ses cornes. Abraham alla prendre le bélier, et il l'offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
14 So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
Abraham donna à ce lieu le nom de « Yahvé pourvoyeur ». Comme on le dit encore aujourd'hui: « Sur la montagne de Yahvé, il sera pourvu ».
15 Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
L'ange de Yahvé appela une seconde fois Abraham du haut du ciel,
16 and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,
et dit: « Je le jure par moi-même, dit Yahvé, parce que tu as fait cela et que tu n'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,
17 That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
je te bénirai grandement, et je multiplierai ta postérité comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est au bord de la mer. Ta descendance possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
18 So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
Toutes les nations de la terre seront bénies par ta descendance, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix.'"
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
Abraham retourna donc vers ses jeunes gens, et ils se levèrent et partirent ensemble pour Beersheba. Abraham habitait à Beersheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, —Behold! Milcah—she also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
Après cela, on dit à Abraham: « Voici Milca, elle aussi a enfanté des enfants à ton frère Nachor:
21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
Uz, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Kemuel, père d'Aram,
22 and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, —and Bethuel;
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph et Bethuel. »
23 And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
Bethuel devint le père de Rebecca. Ces huit enfants, Milca les porta à Nachor, frère d`Abraham.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Sa concubine, dont le nom était Reuma, enfanta aussi Teba, Gaham, Tahash et Maaca.
