Genesis 22
1 It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
Après ces choses, Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve, et lui dit: « Abraham! » Il a dit: « Je suis là. »
2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
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, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had told him about.
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 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour, Abraham leva les yeux, et vit le lieu au loin.
5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again to 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 Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the knife; and they went 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 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
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 Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, both of them together.
Abraham dit: « Dieu fournira lui-même l'agneau pour l'holocauste, mon fils. » Ils partirent donc tous deux ensemble.
9 When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the 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 Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour tuer son fils.
11 Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
L'ange de Yahvé l'appela du ciel et dit: « Abraham, Abraham! » Il a dit: « Je suis là. »
12 He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, 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 Abraham looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering 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 that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
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 The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
L'ange de Yahvé appela une seconde fois Abraham du haut du ciel,
16 and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
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 I will surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
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 Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed 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 to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
Abraham retourna donc vers ses jeunes gens, et ils se levèrent et partirent ensemble pour Beersheba. Abraham habitait à Beersheba.
20 It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
Après cela, on dit à Abraham: « Voici Milca, elle aussi a enfanté des enfants à ton frère Nachor:
21 They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uz, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Kemuel, père d'Aram,
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph et Bethuel. »
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Bethuel devint le père de Rebecca. Ces huit enfants, Milca les porta à Nachor, frère d`Abraham.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Sa concubine, dont le nom était Reuma, enfanta aussi Teba, Gaham, Tahash et Maaca.
