Genesis 25
1 And Abraham took another wife and her name, was Keturah;
Abraham prit une autre femme, qui s'appelait Ketura.
2 and she bare to him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, —and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Elle lui enfanta Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak et Shuah.
3 And, Yokshan, begat Sheba and Dedan, —and, the sons of Dedan, were Asshurim and Letushim, and Leummim.
Jokshan engendra Saba et Dedan. Les fils de Dedan furent Asshurim, Letushim et Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher and Hanoch, and Abida. and Eldaah, —all these, were the sons of Keturah.
Les fils de Madian furent: Épha, Épher, Hanoch, Abida et Eldaa. Tous ceux-là étaient les enfants de Ketura.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;
Abraham donna tout ce qu'il avait à Isaac,
6 but, to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, —and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived, eastward unto the land of the east.
mais Abraham fit des dons aux fils de ses concubines. Tant qu'il vivait encore, il les envoya loin de son fils Isaac, vers l'orient, dans le pays d'Orient.
7 Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.
Voici les jours des années de la vie d'Abraham, qu'il a vécues: cent soixante-quinze ans.
8 So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto his people,
Abraham rendit l'esprit, et mourut dans un âge avancé, un vieillard rassasié d'années, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
9 And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him, in the cave of Machpelah, —in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is over against Mamre;
Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l'enterrèrent dans la caverne de Macpéla, dans le champ d'Éphron, fils de Zohar, le Hittite, qui est près de Mamré,
10 the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, —there, was buried Abraham, with Sarah his wife.
champ qu'Abraham avait acheté des fils de Heth. Abraham y fut enterré avec Sara, sa femme.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son, —and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
Après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit Isaac, son fils. Isaac habitait près de Beer Lahai Roi.
12 Now, these, are the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham;
Or voici l'histoire des générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, qu'Agar l'Égyptienne, servante de Sara, enfanta à Abraham.
13 and these, are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names after their generations, —the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam;
Voici les noms des fils d'Ismaël, selon leurs noms, d'après l'ordre de leur naissance: le premier-né d'Ismaël, Nebaioth, puis Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 and Mishma and Dumah, and Massa;
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish et Kedemah.
16 these, same, are the sons of Ishmael and these, their names, by their villages and by their encampments, —twelve princes, after their tribes.
Ce sont là les fils d`Ismaël, et ce sont là leurs noms, selon leurs villages et selon leurs campements: douze princes, selon leurs nations.
17 And these, are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years, —and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto his people.
Voici les années de la vie d'Ismaël: cent trente-sept ans. Il rendit l'esprit et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
18 And they stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur, which is over against Egypt, as thou goest in towards Assyria, —over against all his brethren, he settled down.
Ils habitèrent depuis Havila jusqu'à Shur, qui est en face de l'Égypte, en allant vers l'Assyrie. Il habitait en face de tous ses parents.
19 And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;
Voici l'histoire des générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham devint le père d'Isaac.
20 and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to wife.
Isaac avait quarante ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bethuel, l'Araméen de Paddan Aram, sœur de Laban l'Araméen.
21 So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Isaac implora Yahvé pour sa femme, car elle était stérile. Il implora Yahvé, et Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
22 And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.
Les enfants luttaient ensemble dans son sein. Elle dit: « Si c'est ainsi, pourquoi est-ce que je vis? » Elle alla consulter l'Éternel.
23 And Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.
L'Éternel lui répondit, « Deux nations sont dans ton sein. Deux peuples seront séparés de votre corps. L'un des peuples sera plus fort que les autres. L'aîné servira le cadet. »
24 Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.
Lorsque les jours où elle devait accoucher furent accomplis, voici qu'il y avait des jumeaux dans son sein.
25 And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,
Le premier sortit tout rouge, comme un vêtement de poil. On lui donna le nom d'Ésaü.
26 And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,
Après cela, son frère sortit, et sa main saisit le talon d'Ésaü. On l'appela Jacob. Isaac avait soixante ans lorsqu'elle les mit au monde.
27 And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.
Les garçons grandirent. Ésaü était un chasseur habile, un homme des champs. Jacob était un homme tranquille, qui vivait sous la tente.
28 And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!
Isaac aimait Ésaü, car il mangeait son gibier. Rébecca aimait Jacob.
29 And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.
Jacob faisait bouillir un ragoût. Ésaü revint des champs, et il était affamé.
30 So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.
Ésaü dit à Jacob: « Donne-moi un peu de ce ragoût rouge, car je suis affamé. » C'est pourquoi on l'appela Edom.
31 And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.
Jacob a dit: « Vends-moi d'abord ton droit d'aînesse. »
32 And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?
Ésaü dit: « Voici, je vais mourir. A quoi me servira le droit d'aînesse? »
33 And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Jacob a dit: « Jure-le-moi d'abord. » Il lui a juré. Il a vendu son droit d'aînesse à Jacob.
34 And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!
Jacob donna à Ésaü du pain et du ragoût de lentilles. Il mangea et but, se leva et s'en alla. Ésaü méprisa donc son droit d'aînesse.
