Genèse 22
1 Après cela, Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve et lui dit: " Abraham! " Il répondit: " Me voici. "
And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
2 Et Dieu dit: " Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t'en au pays de Moria, et là offre-le en holocauste sur l'une des montagnes que je t'indiquerai. "
And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto thee.
3 Abraham se leva de bon matin et, ayant sellé son âne, il prit avec lui deux de ses serviteurs et son fils Isaac; il fendit le bois de l'holocauste et partit pour aller au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.
So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to him.
4 Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut le lieu de loin;
It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 et Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: " Restez ici avec l'âne; moi et l'enfant, nous voulons aller jusque-là et adorer, puis nous reviendrons vers vous. "
And Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto you.
6 Et Abraham prit le bois de l'holocauste, et le mit sur Isaac, son fils, lui-même portait dans sa main le feu et le couteau, et ils s'en allèrent tous deux ensemble.
So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, both of them together.
7 Isaac parla à Abraham, son père, et dit: " Mon père! " Il répondit: " Me voici, mon fils. " Et Isaac dit: " Voici le feu et le bois; mais où est l'agneau pour l'holocauste? "
Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
8 Abraham répondit: " Dieu verra à trouver l'agneau pour l'holocauste, mon fils. " Et ils allaient tous deux ensemble.
And Abraham said, God, will provide for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, together.
9 Lorsqu'ils furent arrivés au lieu que Dieu lui avait désigné, Abraham y éleva l'autel et arrangea le bois; puis il lia Isaac, son fils, et le mit sur l'autel, au-dessus du bois.
Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.
10 Et Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour égorger son fils.
And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
11 Alors l'ange de Yahweh lui cria du ciel et dit: " Abraham! Abraham! " Il répondit: " Me voici. "
Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
12 Et l'ange dit: " Ne porte pas la main sur l'enfant et ne lui fais rien; car je sais maintenant que tu crains Dieu et que tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique. "
Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.
13 Abraham, ayant levé les yeux, vit derrière lui un bélier pris dans un buisson par les cornes; et Abraham alla prendre le bélier et l'offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead of his son.
14 Et Abraham nomma ce lieu: " Yahweh-Yiréh ", d'où l'on dit aujourd'hui: " Sur la montagne de Yahweh, il sera vu. "
So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
15 L'ange de Yahweh appela du ciel Abraham une seconde fois, en disant:
Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
16 " Je l'ai juré par moi-même, dit Yahweh: parce que tu as fait cela, et que tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,
and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,
17 je te bénirai; je multiplierai ta postérité comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est au bord de la mer, et ta postérité possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
18 En ta postérité seront bénies toutes les nations de la terre, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix. "
So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
19 Abraham retourna vers ses serviteurs et, s'étant levés, ils s'en allèrent ensemble à Bersabée. Et Abraham habita à Bersabée.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
20 Après ces événements, on apporta à Abraham cette nouvelle: " Voici, Melcha a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, —Behold! Milcah—she also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
21 Hus, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Camuel, père d'Aram,
Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
22 Cased, Azau, Pheldas, Jedlaph et Bathuel. "
and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, —and Bethuel;
23 Bathuel fut père de Rébecca. Ce sont là les huit fils que Melcha enfanta à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
24 Sa concubine, nommée Roma, eut aussi des enfants: Tabée, Gaham, Taas et Maacha.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
