Genèse 35

1 Dieu dit à Jacob: " Lève-toi, monte à Béthel et demeures-y, et dresse là un autel au Dieu qui t'est apparu quand tu fuyais devant Esaü, ton frère. "

And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.

2 Jacob dit à sa famille et à tous ceux qui étaient avec lui: " Otez les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieu de vous; purifiez-vous et changez de vêtements.

Then Jacob said to all his people, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and make yourselves clean, and put on a change of clothing:

3 Nous nous lèverons et nous monterons à Béthel, et là je dresserai un autel au Dieu qui m'a exaucé au jour de mon angoisse, et qui a été avec moi, dans le voyage que j'ai fait. "

And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.

4 Et ils donnèrent à Jacob tous les dieux étrangers qui étaient entre leurs mains et les boucles qu'ils avaient aux oreilles, et Jacob les enfouit sous le térébinthe qui est à Sichem.

Then they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which they had, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob put them away under the holy tree at Shechem.

5 Ils partirent, et la terreur de Dieu se répandit sur les villes d'alentour, et on ne poursuivit pas les fils de Jacob.

So they went on their journey: and the fear of God was on the towns round about, so that they made no attack on the sons of Jacob.

6 Jacob, avec tous les gens qui étaient avec lui, arriva à Luz, au pays de Chanaan: c'est Béthel.

And Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (which is the same as Beth-el), he and all his people.

7 Il y bâtit un autel, et il appela ce lieu El-Béthel, car c'est là que Dieu lui était apparu lorsqu'il fuyait devant son frère.

And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.

8 Alors mourut Débora, nourrice de Rebecca, et elle fut enterrée au-dessous de Béthel, au pied du chêne auquel on donna le nom de Chêne des pleurs.

And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.

9 Dieu apparut encore à Jacob, après son retour de Paddan-Aram, et il le bénit.

Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,

10 Dieu lui dit: " Ton nom est Jacob; tu ne seras plus appelé Jacob, mais Israël sera ton nom. " Et il le nomma Israël.

Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

11 Dieu lui dit: " Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant. Sois fécond et multiplie; il naîtra de toi une nation et une assemblée de nations, et de tes reins sortiront des rois.

And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;

12 Le pays que j'ai donné à Abraham et à Isaac, je te le donnerai, et je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité après toi. "

And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land.

13 Et Dieu remonta d'auprès de lui, dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé.

Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.

14 Et dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé, Jacob dressa un monument de pierre, sur lequel il fit une libation et versa de l'huile.

And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.

15 Il donna le nom de Béthel au lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé.

And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.

16 Ils partirent de Béthel. Il y avait encore une certaine distance avant d'arriver à Ephrata, lorsque Rachel enfanta, et son accouchement fut pénible.

So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.

17 Pendant les douleurs de l'enfantement, la sage-femme lui dit: " Ne crains point, car c'est encore un fils que tu vas avoir. "

And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.

18 Comme son âme s'en allait, — car elle était mourante, — elle le nomma Bénoni; mais son père l'appela Benjamin.

And in the hour when her life went from her (for death came to her), she gave the child the name Ben-oni: but his father gave him the name of Benjamin.

19 Rachel mourut, et elle fut enterrée au chemin d'Ephrata, qui est Bethléem.

So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).

20 Jacob éleva un monument sur sa tombe; c'est le monument de la Tombe de Rachel, qui subsiste encore aujourd'hui.

And Jacob put up a pillar on her resting-place; which is named, The Pillar of the resting-place of Rachel, to this day.

21 Israël partit, et il dressa sa tente au delà de Migdal-Eder.

And Israel went journeying on and put up his tents on the other side of the tower of the flock.

22 Pendant qu'Israël demeurait dans cette contrée, Ruben vint et coucha avec Bala, concubine de son père; et Israël l'apprit. Les fils de Jacob étaient au nombre de douze.

Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.

23 Fils de Lia: Ruben, premier-né de Jacob, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issachar et Zabulon.

Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

24 Fils de Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

25 Fils de Bala, servante de Rachel: Dan et Nephthali.

The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;

26 Fils de Zelpha, servante de Lia: Gad et Aser. Ce sont là les fils de Jacob, qui lui naquirent à Paddan-Aram.

The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.

27 Jacob arriva auprès d'Isaac, son père, à Mambré, à Qiryath-Arbé, qui est Hébron, où avaient séjourné Abraham et Isaac.

And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had been living.

28 Les jours d'Isaac furent de cent quatre-vingts ans.

And Isaac was a hundred and eighty years old.

29 Isaac expira et mourut, et il fut réuni à son peuple, vieux et rassasié de jours. Esaü et Jacob, ses fils, l'enterrèrent.

Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.
