Genesis 25
1 And Abraham took another wife and her name, was Keturah;
Abraham prit encore une autre femme du nom de Cettura.
2 and she bare to him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, —and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Elle lui enfanta Zameran, Jezan, Madal, Madian, Jesboc et Sué.
3 And, Yokshan, begat Sheba and Dedan, —and, the sons of Dedan, were Asshurim and Letushim, and Leummim.
Jezan engendra Saba et Dedan; fils de Dedan: Assurini, Latusim. et Laomim.
4 And the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher and Hanoch, and Abida. and Eldaah, —all these, were the sons of Keturah.
Fils de Madian: Gephar, Aphir, Énoch, Abida et Elduga. Tous ceux-ci étaient issus de Cettura.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;
Or, Abraham donna tout ce qu'il possédait à Isaac, son fils.
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.
Quant aux fils de ses concubines, Abraham leur fit des présents de son vivant, il les envoya loin de son fils Isaac, à l'orient, en la terre des Orientaux.
7 Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.
Bientôt le nombre des jours que vécut Abraham forma cent soixante-cinq ans.
8 So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto his people,
Et Abraham mourut dans une belle vieillesse, âgé et plein de jours, et il fut réuni à 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'ensevelirent en la double caverne dans le champ de l'Hettéen Éphron, fils de Saar, en face de Membré.
10 the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, —there, was buried Abraham, with Sarah his wife.
C'était le champ et la caverne qu'Abraham avait achetés des fils de Het; ils y ensevelirent Abraham, auprès de sa femme Sarra.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son, —and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
Or après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac, qui demeura vers le puits de la Vision.
12 Now, these, are the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham;
Voici les générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, que lui enfanta l'Égyptienne Agar, servante de Sarra.
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, conformes aux noms de leurs tribus: Nabaïoth, le premier-né d'Ismaël, puis Cédar, Abdéel, Massan,
14 and Mishma and Dumah, and Massa;
Masma, Duma, Massi,
15 Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Puis Choddan, Théman, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.
16 these, same, are the sons of Ishmael and these, their names, by their villages and by their encampments, —twelve princes, after their tribes.
Ceux-ci sont les fils d'Ismaël; ces noms sont ceux qu'ils portèrent sous leurs tentes, dans leurs camps; ils formèrent douze chefs d'autant de 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.
Ismaël vécut cent trente-sept ans, et il mourut, et il fut réuni à sa race.
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.
Il avait demeuré entre Hévilat et Sur, qui est en face de l'Égypte, du côté des Assyriens, vis-à-vis de ses frères.
19 And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;
Voici les générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra 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.
Or, Isaac avait quarante ans lorsqu'il prit pour femme Rébécca, fille de Bathuel, le Syrien, de la Mésopotamie syrienne, sœur de Laban, le Syrien.
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 pria au sujet de sa femme Rébécca, parce qu'elle était stérile; et le Seigneur l'exauça; Rébécca conçut.
22 And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.
Comme deux enfants s'agitaient en ses entrailles, elle dit: Cela devait- il m'arriver? pourquoi cela m'arrive-t-il? Et elle s'en alla interroger le Seigneur.
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.
Le Seigneur lui dit: Deux nations sont en ton sein; deux peuples en sortiront pour se séparer; l'un dominera l'autre, et le plus grand sera soumis au moindre.
24 Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.
Et les jours de l'enfantement étant accomplis, elle se trouvait avoir deux jumeaux en ses entrailles.
25 And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,
Le premier-né sortit roux, tout velu, semblable à une peau de bête fauve; et elle lui donna le nom d'Esaü.
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 lui sortit son frère, sa main tenait le pied d'Esaü; aussi lui donna-t-elle le nom de Jacob. Isaac avait cinquante ans, lorsque Rébécca les enfanta.
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 jeunes gens grandirent. Esaü fut un homme rustique, habile chasseur; Jacob fut un homme paisible, se plaisant à la maison.
28 And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!
Isaac affectionnait Esaü, parce qu'il se nourrissait de son gibier; mais Rébécca chérissait Jacob.
29 And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.
Or, Jacob avait fait cuire un mets, comme Esaü arriva de la plaine, défaillant.
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.
Et Esaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi manger de cette bouillie rousse; car je suis défaillant.
31 And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.
Jacob répondit à Esaü: Cède-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.
32 And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?
Esaü reprit: Je vais mourir; à quoi me sert mon 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 lui dit: Prête-moi serment aujourd'hui, et son frère jura; ainsi le droit d'aînesse d'Esaü fut transmis 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 donc à son frère du pain et de la bouillie de lentilles; Esaü mangea et il but; puis, s'étant levé, il partit, sans se mettre davantage en peine de son droit d'aînesse.
