Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God tempted Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am].
Il arriva, après ces faits, que Dieu éprouva Abraham. II lui dit: "Abraham!" II répondit: "Me voici."
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thy only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will name to thee.
II reprit "Prends ton fils, ton fils unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac; achemine-toi vers la terre de Moria et là offre-le en holocauste sur une montagne que je te désignerai."
3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and cleft the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose and went to the place which God had named to him.
Abraham se leva de bonne heure, sangla son âne, emmena ses deux serviteurs et Isaac, son fils et ayant fendu le bois du sacrifice, il se mit en chemin pour le lieu que lui avait indiqué le Seigneur.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut l’endroit dans le lointain.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide you here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and return to you.
Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: "Tenez-vous ici avec l’âne; moi et le jeune homme nous irons jusque là-bas, nous nous prosternerons et nous reviendrons vers vous."
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife: and they went both of them together.
Abraham prit le bois du sacrifice, le chargea sur Isaac son fils, prit en main le feu et le couteau et ils allèrent tous deux ensemble.
7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt-offering?
Isaac, s’adressant à Abraham son père, dit "Mon père!" Il répondit: "Me voici mon fils." II reprit: "Voici le feu et le bois, mais où est l’agneau de l’holocauste?"
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt-offering: so they went both of them together.
Abraham répondit: "Dieu choisira lui-même l’agneau de l’holocauste mon fils!" Et ils allèrent tous deux ensemble.
9 And they came to the place which God had named to him; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order; and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Ils arrivèrent à l’endroit que Dieu lui avait indiqué. Abraham y construisit un autel, disposa le bois, lia Isaac son fils et le plaça sur l’autel, par-dessus le bois.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Abraham étendit la main et saisit le couteau pour immoler son fils.
11 And the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here [am] I.
Mais un envoyé du Seigneur l’appela du haut du ciel, en disant: "Abraham! Abraham!"
12 And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing to him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld from me thy son, thy only [son].
II répondit: "Me voici." II reprit: "Ne porte pas la main sur ce jeune homme, ne lui fais aucun mal! car, désormais, j’ai constaté que tu honores Dieu, toi qui ne m’as pas refusé ton fils, ton fils unique!"
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
Abraham, levant les yeux, remarqua qu’un bélier, derrière lui, s’était embarrassé les cornes dans un buisson. Abraham alla prendre ce bélier et l’offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it will be seen.
Abraham dénomma cet endroit: Adonaï-Yiré; d’où l’on dit aujourd’hui: "Sur le mont d’Adônaï-Yéraé."
15 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven the second time,
L’Envoyé de l’Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham du haut du ciel,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only [son]:
et dit: "Je jure par moi-même, a dit l’Éternel, que parce que tu as agi ainsi, parce que tu n’as point épargné ton enfant, ton fils unique,
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which [is] on the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
je te comblerai de mes faveurs; je multiplierai ta race comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable du rivage de la mer et ta postérité conquerra les portes de ses ennemis.
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed: because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Et toutes les nations de la terre s’estimeront heureuses par ta postérité, en récompense de ce que tu as obéi à ma voix."
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Abraham retourna vers ses serviteurs; ils se remirent en route ensemble pour Beer Shava, où Abraham continua d’habiter.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children to thy brother Nahor;
Après cet événement, Abraham reçut les nouvelles suivantes: "Milka, elle aussi, a donné des enfants à Nahor ton frère:
21 Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Ouç, son premier-né; Bouz, son frère; Kemouel, père d’Aram;
22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Késed, Hazo, Pildach, Yidlaf et Bathuel,
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah bore to Nahor Abraham's brother.
lequel Bathuel a engendré Rébecca." Milka avait donné ces huit fils à Nahor, frère d’Abraham.
24 And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Sa concubine, nommée Reouma, avait eu aussi des enfants: Tébah, Gaham, Tahach et Maaka.
