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, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled 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 his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

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. "

Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been 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.

So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near 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.

Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

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

So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

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.

He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing 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.

Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

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

And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

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

God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name 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 El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

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. "

The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."

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 spoke 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 set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

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

Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.

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.

Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.

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. "

When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."

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

It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

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

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

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

Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

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

And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

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.

It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

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

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, 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.

And 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.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him 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.

So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

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

Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

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

And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
