19 Voici l'histoire des générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham devint le père d'Isaac.
These were the events concerning Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of 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.
Isaac was forty years old when he took as his wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Isaac implora Yahvé pour sa femme, car elle était stérile. Il implora Yahvé, et Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife because she was childless, and Yahweh answered his prayer, 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.
The children struggled together within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” She went to ask Yahweh about this.
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. »
Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from within you. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
24 Lorsque les jours où elle devait accoucher furent accomplis, voici qu'il y avait des jumeaux dans son sein.
When it was time for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Le premier sortit tout rouge, comme un vêtement de poil. On lui donna le nom d'Ésaü.
The first child came out red all over like a hairy garment. 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.
After that, his brother came out. His hand was grasping Esau's heel. He was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when his wife bore them.
27 Les garçons grandirent. Ésaü était un chasseur habile, un homme des champs. Jacob était un homme tranquille, qui vivait sous la tente.
The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a quiet man, who spent his time in the tents.
28 Isaac aimait Ésaü, car il mangeait son gibier. Rébecca aimait Jacob.
Now Isaac loved Esau because he ate the animals that he had hunted, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Jacob faisait bouillir un ragoût. Ésaü revint des champs, et il était affamé.
Jacob cooked some stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was weak from hunger.
30 Ésaü dit à Jacob: « Donne-moi un peu de ce ragoût rouge, car je suis affamé. » C'est pourquoi on l'appela Edom.
Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me with that red stew. Please, I am exhausted!” That is why his name was called Edom.
31 Jacob a dit: « Vends-moi d'abord ton droit d'aînesse. »
Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”
32 Ésaü dit: « Voici, je vais mourir. A quoi me servira le droit d'aînesse? »
Esau said, “Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 Jacob a dit: « Jure-le-moi d'abord. » Il lui a juré. Il a vendu son droit d'aînesse à Jacob.
Jacob said, “First swear to me,” so Esau swore an oath and in that way he 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.
Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, then got up and went on his way. In this manner Esau despised his birthright.
