And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Yishbak, and Shuach.

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.

And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Chanoch, and Abida', and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 Abraham donna tous ses biens à Isaac:

And Abraham gave all that he had unto 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 unto the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was yet living, eastward, unto 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, one hundred seventy and five years.

8 Abraham expira et mourut dans une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut réuni à son peuple.

Then Abraham departed this life, 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 Héthéen, 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 Zochar 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, 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 the well Lachai-roi.

12 Voici l'histoire d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, qu'avait enfanté à Abraham Agar l'Egyptienne, servante de Sara.

Now theses are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto 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 first-born of Ishmael, Nebayoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 Hadad, Théma, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.

Chadad, and Tema, Yetur, 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, one hundred and thirty and seven years: and he departed this life and died; and was gathered unto his people.

18 Ses fils habitèrent depuis Hévila jusqu'à Sur qui est en face de l'Egypte, dans la direction de l'Assyrie. Il s'étendit en face de tous ses frères.

And they dwelt from Chavilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.

19 Voici l'histoire d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.

And these are the generations of Isaac, the 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 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian, to himself as wife.

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 in behalf of 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 did I desire this? 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 le plus grand servira le plus petit. "

And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and 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 a 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, his hand holding on to Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty 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 up: and Esau was an expert 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 at one time boiled 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, Let me swallow down, I pray thee, some of that yonder 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 thy right of first-born.

32 Esaü répondit: " Voici je m'en vais mourir; que me servira mon droit d'aînesse? "

And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; and what profit then can the right of first-born be 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 unto him, and he sold his right of first-born unto 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 lentiles, and he did eat and drink, and he rose up, and went his way; thus Esau despised the birthright.
