And Abraham took another wife and her name, was Keturah;
2 Et elle lui enfanta Zamran, Jecsan, Madan, Madian, Jesboc et Sué. —
and she bare to him Zimran, and Yokshan, 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, Yokshan, 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 Abida. and Eldaah, —all these, were the sons 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 whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, —and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived, eastward unto the land of the east.
7 Voici les jours des années de la vie d’Abraham: il vécut cent soixante-quinze ans.
Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Abraham expira et mourut dans une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut réuni à son peuple.
So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto 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 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;
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 buried Abraham, with 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 Isaac his son, —and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
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 son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare 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 after their generations, —the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam;
14 Masma, Duma, Massa,
and Mishma and Dumah, and Massa;
15 Hadad, Théma, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.
Hadad, 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, 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; puis il expira et mourut et il fut réuni à 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.
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 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 d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.
And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —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 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 Yahweh au sujet de sa femme, car elle était stérile; Yahweh l’exauça et Rebecca, sa femme, conçut.
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 se heurtaient dans son sein, et elle dit: « S’il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? » Elle alla consulter Yahweh;
And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.
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 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 Le temps où elle devait enfanter arriva, et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son sein.
Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! 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 forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,
26 Isaac était âgé de soixante ans quand ils naquirent.
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 Ces enfants grandirent. Esaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob était un homme paisible, demeurant 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 prit en affection Esaü, parce qu’il aimait la venaison, et l’affection de Rebecca était pour Jacob.
And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!
29 Comme Jacob faisait un potage, Esaü arriva des champs, accablé de fatigue.
And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.
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. —
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 dit: « Vends-moi d’abord ton droit d’aînesse. »
And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.
32 Esaü répondit: « Voici je m’en vais mourir; que me servira mon droit d’aînesse? »
And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?
33 Et Jacob dit: « Jure-le-moi d’abord. » Il jura et vendit 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 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.
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!
