Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.

So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto his people,

And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him, in the cave of Machpelah, —in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is over against Mamre;

Now, these, are the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham;

these, same, are the sons of Ishmael and these, their names, by their villages and by their encampments, —twelve princes, after their tribes.
17 Voici les années de la vie d'Ismaël: cent trente-sept ans. Il rendit l'esprit et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
And these, are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years, —and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto his people.

And they stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur, which is over against Egypt, as thou goest in towards Assyria, —over against all his brethren, he settled down.
19 Voici l'histoire des générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham devint le père d'Isaac.
And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;
20 Isaac avait quarante ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bethuel, l'Araméen de Paddan Aram, sœur de Laban l'Araméen.
and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to wife.
21 Isaac implora Yahvé pour sa femme, car elle était stérile. Il implora Yahvé, et Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Les enfants luttaient ensemble dans son sein. Elle dit: « Si c'est ainsi, pourquoi est-ce que je vis? » Elle alla consulter l'Éternel.
And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.
23 L'Éternel lui répondit, « Deux nations sont dans ton sein. Deux peuples seront séparés de votre corps. L'un des peuples sera plus fort que les autres. L'aîné servira le cadet. »
And Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.
24 Lorsque les jours où elle devait accoucher furent accomplis, voici qu'il y avait des jumeaux dans son sein.
Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.
25 Le premier sortit tout rouge, comme un vêtement de poil. On lui donna le nom d'Ésaü.
And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,
26 Après cela, son frère sortit, et sa main saisit le talon d'Ésaü. On l'appela Jacob. Isaac avait soixante ans lorsqu'elle les mit au monde.
And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,
27 Les garçons grandirent. Ésaü était un chasseur habile, un homme des champs. Jacob était un homme tranquille, qui vivait sous la tente.
And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.
28 Isaac aimait Ésaü, car il mangeait son gibier. Rébecca aimait Jacob.
And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!
29 Jacob faisait bouillir un ragoût. Ésaü revint des champs, et il était affamé.
And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.
30 Ésaü dit à Jacob: « Donne-moi un peu de ce ragoût rouge, car je suis affamé. » C'est pourquoi on l'appela Edom.
So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.
31 Jacob a dit: « Vends-moi d'abord ton droit d'aînesse. »
And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.
32 Ésaü dit: « Voici, je vais mourir. A quoi me servira le droit d'aînesse? »
And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?
33 Jacob a dit: « Jure-le-moi d'abord. » Il lui a juré. Il a vendu son droit d'aînesse à Jacob.
And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Jacob donna à Ésaü du pain et du ragoût de lentilles. Il mangea et but, se leva et s'en alla. Ésaü méprisa donc son droit d'aînesse.
And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!
