1 Abraham prit encore une femme, nommée Qetoura.
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 Et elle lui enfanta Zamran, Jecsan, Madan, Madian, Jesboc et Sué. —
And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jecsan engendra Saba et Dadan; les fils de Dadan furent les Assurim, les Latusim et les Laomim. —
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 Les fils de Madian furent Epha, Opher, Hénoch, Abida et Eldaa. — Ce sont là tous les fils de Qetoura.
And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 Abraham donna tous ses biens à Isaac:
And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
6 Quant aux fils de ses concubines, il leur donna des présents, et il les envoya de son vivant loin de son fils Isaac, à l’orient, au pays d’Orient.
But to the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.
7 Voici les jours des années de la vie d’Abraham: il vécut cent soixante-quinze ans.
And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred three score and fifteen years.
8 Abraham expira et mourut dans une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut réuni à son peuple.
Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9 Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l’enterrèrent dans la caverne de Macpéla, dans le champ d’Ephron, fils de Séor le Hittite, qui est vis-à-vis de Mambré:
And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10 c’est le champ qu’Abraham avait acheté des fils de Heth. Là fut enterré Abraham, avec Sara, sa femme.
The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 Après la mort d’Abraham, Dieu bénit Isaac son fils; et Isaac habitait près du puits de Lachaï-Roï.
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelled by the well Lahairoi.
12 Voici l’histoire d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, qu’avait enfanté à Abraham Agar l’Egyptienne, servante de Sara.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham:
13 Voici les noms des fils d’Ismaël, selon les noms de leurs postérités: premier-né d’Ismaël, Nebaïoth; puis Cédar, Adbéel, Mabsam,
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 Masma, Duma, Massa,
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadad, Théma, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 Ce sont là les fils d’Ismaël, ce sont là leurs noms, selon leurs villages et leurs campements: ce furent les douze chefs de leurs tribus.
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
17 Voici les années de la vie d’Ismaël: cent trente-sept ans; puis il expira et mourut et il fut réuni à son peuple.
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered to his people.
18 Ses fils habitèrent depuis Hévila jusqu’à Sur qui est en face de l’Égypte, dans la direction de l’Assyrie. Il s’étendit en face de tous ses frères.
And they dwelled from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brothers.
19 Voici l’histoire d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 Isaac était âgé de quarante ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bathuel l’Araméen, de Paddan-Aram, et sœur de Laban, l’Araméen.
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 Isaac implora Yahweh au sujet de sa femme, car elle était stérile; Yahweh l’exauça et Rebecca, sa femme, conçut.
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Les enfants se heurtaient dans son sein, et elle dit: « S’il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? » Elle alla consulter Yahweh;
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
23 et Yahweh lui dit: « Deux nations sont dans ton sein; deux peuples, au sortir de tes entrailles, se sépareront; un peuple l’emportera sur l’autre, et l’aîné servira le cadet. »
And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Le temps où elle devait enfanter arriva, et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son sein.
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Celui qui sortit le premier était roux, tout entier comme un manteau de poil, et ils l’appelèrent Esaü; ensuite sortit son frère, tenant dans sa main le talon d’Esaü, et on le nomma Jacob.
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 Isaac était âgé de soixante ans quand ils naquirent.
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was three score years old when she bore them.
27 Ces enfants grandirent. Esaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob était un homme paisible, demeurant sous la tente.
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 Isaac prit en affection Esaü, parce qu’il aimait la venaison, et l’affection de Rebecca était pour Jacob.
And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Comme Jacob faisait un potage, Esaü arriva des champs, accablé de fatigue.
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 Esaü dit à Jacob: « Laisse-moi donc manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué. » — C’est pour cela qu’on a donné à Esaü le nom d’Edom. —
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray you, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 Jacob dit: « Vends-moi d’abord ton droit d’aînesse. »
And Jacob said, Sell me this day your birthright.
32 Esaü répondit: « Voici je m’en vais mourir; que me servira mon droit d’aînesse? »
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 Et Jacob dit: « Jure-le-moi d’abord. » Il jura et vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Alors Jacob donna à Esaü du pain et du potage de lentilles; celui-ci mangea et but; puis il se leva et s’en alla. C’est ainsi qu’Esaü méprisa le droit d’aînesse.
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
