Genesis 22
1 After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
Après ces choses, Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve, et lui dit: « Abraham! » Il a dit: « Je suis là. »
2 He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
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 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
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 lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far 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. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back 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 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went 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?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a 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 will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
Abraham dit: « Dieu fournira lui-même l'agneau pour l'holocauste, mon fils. » Ils partirent donc tous deux ensemble.
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on 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 stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour tuer son fils.
11 The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” 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, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since 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 lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for 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 Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, 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 LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
L'ange de Yahvé appela une seconde fois Abraham du haut du ciel,
16 and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘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 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his 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 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, 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 rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Abraham retourna donc vers ses jeunes gens, et ils se levèrent et partirent ensemble pour Beersheba. Abraham habitait à Beersheba.
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Après cela, on dit à Abraham: « Voici Milca, elle aussi a enfanté des enfants à ton frère Nachor:
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uz, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Kemuel, père d'Aram,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph et Bethuel. »
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah 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.
