Genesis 22
1 It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
Et il arriva, après ces choses, que Dieu éprouva Abraham, et lui dit: Abraham! Et il dit: Me voici.
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.”
Et [Dieu] dit: Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t’en au pays de Morija, et là offre-le en holocauste, sur une des montagnes que je te dirai.
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.
Et Abraham se leva de bon matin et bâta son âne et prit avec lui deux de ses jeunes hommes, et Isaac, son fils; et il fendit le bois pour l’holocauste, et se leva, et s’en alla vers le lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.
4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour, Abraham leva ses yeux, et vit le lieu de 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.”
Et Abraham dit à ses jeunes hommes: Restez ici, vous, avec l’âne; et moi et l’enfant nous irons jusque-là, et nous adorerons; et nous reviendrons vers vous.
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.
Et Abraham prit le bois de l’holocauste, et le mit sur Isaac, son fils; et il prit dans sa main le feu et le couteau; et ils allaient les 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?”
Et Isaac parla à Abraham, son père, et dit: Mon père! Et il dit: Me voici, mon fils. Et il 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.
Et Abraham dit: Mon fils, Dieu se pourvoira de l’agneau pour l’holocauste. Et ils allaient les 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.
Et ils arrivèrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit. Et Abraham bâtit là l’autel, et arrangea le bois, et lia Isaac, son fils, et le mit sur l’autel, sur le bois.
10 Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
Et Abraham étendit sa main et prit le couteau pour égorger son fils.
11 Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
Mais l’Ange de l’Éternel lui cria des cieux, et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il dit: Me voici.
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.”
Et il dit: N’étends pas ta main sur l’enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car maintenant je sais que tu crains Dieu, et que tu ne m’as pas refusé ton fils, ton 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.
Et Abraham leva ses yeux, et vit, et voici, il y avait derrière [lui] un bélier retenu à un buisson par les cornes; et Abraham alla et prit le bélier, et 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.”
Et Abraham appela le nom de ce lieu-là: Jéhovah-Jiré, comme on dit aujourd’hui: En la montagne de l’Éternel il y sera pourvu.
15 The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
Et l’Ange de l’Éternel cria des cieux à Abraham, une seconde fois,
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: J’ai juré par moi-même, dit l’Éternel: Parce que tu as fait cette chose-là, 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.
certainement je te bénirai, et je multiplierai abondamment ta semence comme les étoiles des cieux et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta semence 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.”
Et toutes les nations de la terre se béniront en ta semence, parce que tu as écouté ma voix.
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
Et Abraham retourna vers ses jeunes hommes; et ils se levèrent, et s’en allèrent ensemble à Beër-Shéba; et Abraham habita à Beër-Shéba.
20 It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
Et il arriva, après ces choses, qu’on rapporta à Abraham en disant: Voici, Milca, elle aussi, a enfanté des enfants à Nakhor, ton frère:
21 They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uts, son premier-né; et Buz, son frère; et Kemuel, père d’Aram;
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
et Késed, et Hazo, et Pildash, et Jidlaph, et Bethuel.
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Or Bethuel engendra Rebecca. Milca enfanta ces huit à Nakhor, frère d’Abraham.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Et sa concubine, nommée Reüma, elle aussi enfanta Tébakh, et Gakham, et Thakhash, et Maaca.
