Genèse 22
1 Et il arriva, après ces choses, que Dieu éprouva Abraham, et lui dit: Abraham! Et il dit: Me voici.
After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
2 Et [Dieu] dit: Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t’en au pays de Morija, et là offre-le en holocauste, sur une des montagnes que je te dirai.
He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
3 Et Abraham se leva de bon matin et bâta son âne et prit avec lui deux de ses jeunes hommes, et Isaac, son fils; et il fendit le bois pour l’holocauste, et se leva, et s’en alla vers le lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.
Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4 Le troisième jour, Abraham leva ses yeux, et vit le lieu de loin.
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
5 Et Abraham dit à ses jeunes hommes: Restez ici, vous, avec l’âne; et moi et l’enfant nous irons jusque-là, et nous adorerons; et nous reviendrons vers vous.
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
6 Et Abraham prit le bois de l’holocauste, et le mit sur Isaac, son fils; et il prit dans sa main le feu et le couteau; et ils allaient les deux ensemble.
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
7 Et Isaac parla à Abraham, son père, et dit: Mon père! Et il dit: Me voici, mon fils. Et il dit: Voici le feu et le bois; mais où est l’agneau pour l’holocauste?
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
8 Et Abraham dit: Mon fils, Dieu se pourvoira de l’agneau pour l’holocauste. Et ils allaient les deux ensemble.
Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
9 Et ils arrivèrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit. Et Abraham bâtit là l’autel, et arrangea le bois, et lia Isaac, son fils, et le mit sur l’autel, sur le bois.
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10 Et Abraham étendit sa main et prit le couteau pour égorger son fils.
Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 Mais l’Ange de l’Éternel lui cria des cieux, et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il dit: Me voici.
The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
12 Et il dit: N’étends pas ta main sur l’enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car maintenant je sais que tu crains Dieu, et que tu ne m’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 Et Abraham leva ses yeux, et vit, et voici, il y avait derrière [lui] un bélier retenu à un buisson par les cornes; et Abraham alla et prit le bélier, et l’offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 Et Abraham appela le nom de ce lieu-là: Jéhovah-Jiré, comme on dit aujourd’hui: En la montagne de l’Éternel il y sera pourvu.
Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
15 Et l’Ange de l’Éternel cria des cieux à Abraham, une seconde fois,
The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
16 et dit: J’ai juré par moi-même, dit l’Éternel: Parce que tu as fait cette chose-là, et que tu n’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,
and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 certainement je te bénirai, et je multiplierai abondamment ta semence comme les étoiles des cieux et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta semence possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
18 Et toutes les nations de la terre se béniront en ta semence, parce que tu as écouté ma voix.
All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
19 Et Abraham retourna vers ses jeunes hommes; et ils se levèrent, et s’en allèrent ensemble à Beër-Shéba; et Abraham habita à Beër-Shéba.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 Et il arriva, après ces choses, qu’on rapporta à Abraham en disant: Voici, Milca, elle aussi, a enfanté des enfants à Nakhor, ton frère:
After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uts, son premier-né; et Buz, son frère; et Kemuel, père d’Aram;
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 et Késed, et Hazo, et Pildash, et Jidlaph, et Bethuel.
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Or Bethuel engendra Rebecca. Milca enfanta ces huit à Nakhor, frère d’Abraham.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 Et sa concubine, nommée Reüma, elle aussi enfanta Tébakh, et Gakham, et Thakhash, et Maaca.
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
