Genèse 22
1 Il arriva, après ces faits, que Dieu éprouva Abraham. II lui dit: "Abraham!" II répondit: "Me voici."
It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
2 II reprit "Prends ton fils, ton fils unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac; achemine-toi vers la terre de Moria et là offre-le en holocauste sur une montagne que je te désignerai."
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
3 Abraham se leva de bonne heure, sangla son âne, emmena ses deux serviteurs et Isaac, son fils et ayant fendu le bois du sacrifice, il se mit en chemin pour le lieu que lui avait indiqué le Seigneur.
So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had told him about.
4 Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, aperçut l’endroit dans le lointain.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
5 Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: "Tenez-vous ici avec l’âne; moi et le jeune homme nous irons jusque là-bas, nous nous prosternerons et nous reviendrons vers vous."
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again to you.”
6 Abraham prit le bois du sacrifice, le chargea sur Isaac son fils, prit en main le feu et le couteau et ils allèrent tous deux ensemble.
Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
7 Isaac, s’adressant à Abraham son père, dit "Mon père!" Il répondit: "Me voici mon fils." II reprit: "Voici le feu et le bois, mais où est l’agneau de l’holocauste?"
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraham répondit: "Dieu choisira lui-même l’agneau de l’holocauste mon fils!" Et ils allèrent tous deux ensemble.
Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, both of them together.
9 Ils arrivèrent à l’endroit que Dieu lui avait indiqué. Abraham y construisit un autel, disposa le bois, lia Isaac son fils et le plaça sur l’autel, par-dessus le bois.
When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 Abraham étendit la main et saisit le couteau pour immoler son fils.
Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
11 Mais un envoyé du Seigneur l’appela du haut du ciel, en disant: "Abraham! Abraham!"
Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
12 II répondit: "Me voici." II reprit: "Ne porte pas la main sur ce jeune homme, ne lui fais aucun mal! car, désormais, j’ai constaté que tu honores Dieu, toi qui ne m’as pas refusé ton fils, ton fils unique!"
He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 Abraham, levant les yeux, remarqua qu’un bélier, derrière lui, s’était embarrassé les cornes dans un buisson. Abraham alla prendre ce bélier et l’offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
Abraham looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 Abraham dénomma cet endroit: Adonaï-Yiré; d’où l’on dit aujourd’hui: "Sur le mont d’Adônaï-Yéraé."
So Abraham called that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
15 L’Envoyé de l’Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham du haut du ciel,
The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
16 et dit: "Je jure par moi-même, a dit l’Éternel, que parce que tu as agi ainsi, parce que tu n’as point épargné ton enfant, ton fils unique,
and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 je te comblerai de mes faveurs; je multiplierai ta race comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable du rivage de la mer et ta postérité conquerra les portes de ses ennemis.
I will surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
18 Et toutes les nations de la terre s’estimeront heureuses par ta postérité, en récompense de ce que tu as obéi à ma voix."
Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
19 Abraham retourna vers ses serviteurs; ils se remirent en route ensemble pour Beer Shava, où Abraham continua d’habiter.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
20 Après cet événement, Abraham reçut les nouvelles suivantes: "Milka, elle aussi, a donné des enfants à Nahor ton frère:
It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
21 Ouç, son premier-né; Bouz, son frère; Kemouel, père d’Aram;
They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Késed, Hazo, Pildach, Yidlaf et Bathuel,
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 lequel Bathuel a engendré Rébecca." Milka avait donné ces huit fils à Nahor, frère d’Abraham.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 Sa concubine, nommée Reouma, avait eu aussi des enfants: Tébah, Gaham, Tahach et Maaka.
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
