Genèse 22
1 Il advint alors que Dieu tenta Abraham; il lui dit: Abraham, Abraham. Celui-ci répondit: Me voici.
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 Prends, lui dit Dieu, ton enfant, ton fils chéri, ton Isaac, que tu aimes tant; va en la haute terre, et là, offre-le en holocauste, sur l'une des montagnes que je te dirai.
And he said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and get you into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
3 Et Abraham, s'étant levé de grand matin, bâta son ânesse; il prit avec lui deux serviteurs et Isaac son fils; puis, ayant fendu le bois pour l'holocauste, il partit, et il arriva le troisième jour au lieu que lui avait dit le Seigneur.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4 Et Abraham, ayant levé les yeux, vit le lieu de loin,
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 Et dit à ses serviteurs: Arrêtez-vous ici avec l'ânesse, moi de mon côté j'irai avec l'enfant jusque là-bas; puis après avoir adoré, nous reviendrons auprès de vous.
And Abraham said to his young men, Abide you here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6 Abraham prit donc le bois de l'holocauste, et il le donna à porter à Isaac; lui-même porta dans ses mains le feu et le glaive; et ils marchèrent à côté l'un de l'autre.
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 Cependant, Isaac dit à Abraham, son père: Père, et celui-ci répondit: Qu'y a-t-il, mon enfant? Isaac reprit: Voici le feu et le bois; où est la brebis pour l'holocauste?
And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 Abraham répondit: Dieu se pourvoira lui-même d'une brebis pour l'holocauste, mon enfant, et, ayant marché tous deux ensemble,
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 Ils arrivèrent au lieu que lui avait dit le Seigneur; Abraham y éleva un autel; il disposa le bois, et, ayant lié Isaac son fils, il le plaça sur l'autel par-dessus le bois.
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar on the wood.
10 Et il étendit la main pour saisir le glaive, afin d'égorger son fils.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 Alors un ange du Seigneur l'appela du ciel, disant: Abraham, Abraham; il répondit: Me voici.
And the angel of the LORD called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 Et l'ange dit: Ne porte pas la main sur l'enfant: ne lui fais rien; car je sais maintenant que tu crains le Seigneur, puisque pour moi tu n'as pas épargné ton fils bien-aimé.
And he said, Lay not your hand on the lad, neither do you any thing to him: for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son from me.
13 Abraham, ayant levé les yeux, regarda: et voilà qu'un bélier se trouvait retenu par les cornes dans les broussailles de Sabec; aussitôt Abraham s'élance, prend le bélier, et l'offre en holocauste, au lieu de son fils Isaac.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 Abraham appela ce lieu: Le Seigneur a vu, de sorte que l'on dit encore aujourd'hui: sur la montagne le Seigneur est apparu.
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
15 L'ange du Seigneur appela une seconde fois Abraham du haut du ciel, disant:
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 Je l'ai juré par moi-même, dit le Seigneur: parce que tu as fait ce que tu viens de faire, et que, pour moi, tu n'as pas épargné ton fils bien-aimé,
And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:
17 Je te bénirai et te bénirai, je multiplierai et multiplierai ta race, comme les étoiles du ciel, comme les grains de sable du rivage des mers, et ta race possédera les villes des ennemis;
That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is on the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 Et, en ta race, seront bénies toutes les nations de la terre, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix.
And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.
19 Abraham retourna auprès de ses serviteurs, et ils partirent pour revenir ensemble vers le puits du Serment. Abraham demeura vers le puits du Serment.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelled at Beersheba.
20 Ensuite un message vint à lui, disant: Melcha a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor ton frère:
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she has also born children to your brother Nahor;
21 Uz d'abord, puis Bayx son frère, et Samuel, père des Syriens,
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Chazad, Azay, Phaldès, ensuite Jeddar et Bathuel;
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Bathuel a engendré Rébécca: voilà les huit fils que Melcha a enfantés à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 Et sa concubine nommée Rheuma a, de son côté, enfanté Tabec, Taam, Tochos et Mocha.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
