Genesis 25
1 [Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
Or Abraham prit une autre femme, nommée Kétura,
2 She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Qui lui enfanta Zimram, Joksan, Médan, Madian, Jisba, et Suah.
3 Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
Et Joksan engendra Séba et Dédan. Et les enfants de Dédan furent Assurim, et Létusim, et Léummim.
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
Et les enfants de Madian furent Hépha, Hépher, Hanoc, Abidah, Eldaha. Tous ceux-là sont enfants de Kétura.
5 Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
Et Abraham donna tout ce qui lui [appartenait] à Isaac.
6 But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
Mais il fit des présents aux fils de ses concubines, et les envoya loin de son fils Isaac, vers l'Orient au pays d'Orient, lui étant encore en vie.
7 Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
Et les ans que vécut Abraham furent cent soixante et quinze ans.
8 He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
Et Abraham défaillant, mourut dans une heureuse vieillesse, fort âgé, et rassasié [de jours], et fut recueilli vers ses peuples.
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
Et Isaac et Ismaël ses fils l'enterrèrent en la caverne de Macpéla, au champ d'Héphron, fils de Tsohar Héthien, qui est vis-à-vis de Mamré.
10 Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
Le champ qu'Abraham avait acheté des Héthiens: là fut enterré Abraham avec Sara sa femme.
11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
Or il arriva après la mort d'Abraham, que Dieu bénit Isaac son fils: et Isaac demeurait près du puits du Vivant qui me voit.
12 (These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
Ce sont ici les générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, qu'Agar Egyptienne, servante de Sara, avait enfanté à Abraham.
13 These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Et ce sont ici les noms des enfants d'Ismaël, desquels ils ont été nommés dans leurs générations. Le premier-né d'Ismaël fut Nébajoth, puis Kédar, Adbéel, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Mismah, Duma, Massa,
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadar, Téma, Jétur, Naphis, et Kedma.
16 The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
Ce sont là les enfants d'Ismaël, et ce sont là leurs noms, selon leurs villages, et selon leurs châteaux: douze Princes de leurs peuples.
17 Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
Et les ans de la vie d'Ismaël furent cent trente-sept ans; et il défaillit, et mourut, et fut recueilli vers ses peuples.
18 His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
Et [ses Descendants] habitèrent depuis Havila jusqu'à Sur, qui est vis-à-vis de l'Egypte, quand on vient vers l'Assyrie; et [le pays] qui était échu à [Ismaël] était à la vue de tous ses frères.
19 (This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Or ce sont ici les générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.
20 and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
Et Isaac était âgé de quarante ans, quand il se maria avec Rébecca, fille de Béthuel Syrien, de Paddan-Aram, sœur de Laban Syrien.
21 Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
Et Isaac pria instamment l'Eternel au sujet de sa femme, parce qu'elle était stérile; et l'Eternel fut fléchi par ses prières; et Rébecca sa femme conçut.
22 She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
Mais les enfants s'entrepoussaient dans son ventre, et elle dit: S'il est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je? Et elle alla consulter l'Eternel.
23 Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
Et l'Eternel lui dit: Deux nations sont dans ton ventre, et deux peuples sortiront de tes entrailles; et un peuple sera plus fort que l'autre peuple, et le plus grand sera asservi au moindre.
24 When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
Et quand son temps d'enfanter fut accompli, voici il y avait deux jumeaux en son ventre.
25 The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
Celui qui sortit le premier, était roux, et tout [velu], comme un manteau de poil: et ils appelèrent son nom Esaü.
26 Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
Et ensuite sortit son frère, tenant de sa main le talon d'Esaü; c'est pourquoi il fut appelé Jacob. Or Isaac était âgé de soixante ans quand ils naquirent.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
Depuis, les enfants devinrent grands, et Esaü était un habile chasseur, et homme de campagne; mais Jacob était un homme intègre et se tenant dans les tentes.
28 Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
Et Isaac aimait Esaü; car la venaison était sa viande. Mais Rébecca aimait Jacob.
29 One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
Or comme Jacob cuisait du potage, Esaü arriva des champs, et il était las.
30 He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
Et Esaü dit à Jacob: Donne-moi, je te prie, à manger de ce roux, de ce roux; car je suis las. C'est pourquoi on appela son nom, Edom.
31 Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
Mais Jacob lui dit: Vends-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.
32 Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
Et Esaü répondit: Voici je m'en vais mourir; et de quoi me servira le droit d'aînesse?
33 Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
Et Jacob dit: Jure-moi aujourd'hui; et il lui jura; ainsi il vendit son droit d'aînesse à Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
Et Jacob donna à Esaü du pain, et du potage de lentilles; et il mangea, et but; puis il se leva, et s'en alla; ainsi Esaü méprisa son droit d'aînesse.
