Genèse 22
1 Il advint alors que Dieu tenta Abraham; il lui dit: Abraham, Abraham. Celui-ci répondit: Me voici.
After these things, God tested Abraham [Father of a multitude], and said to him, “Abraham [Father of a multitude]!” He said, “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.
He said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you 'ahavta ·affectionately love·, even Isaac [Laughter], 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, 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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac [Laughter] 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 Et Abraham, ayant levé les yeux, vit le lieu de loin,
On the third day Abraham [Father of a multitude] lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far 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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· in worship, and come back 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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac [Laughter] his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went 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?
Isaac [Laughter] spoke to Abraham [Father of a multitude] 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 Abraham répondit: Dieu se pourvoira lui-même d'une brebis pour l'holocauste, mon enfant, et, ayant marché tous deux ensemble,
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went 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.
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham [Father of a multitude] built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac [Laughter] 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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 Alors un ange du Seigneur l'appela du ciel, disant: Abraham, Abraham; il répondit: Me voici.
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham! [Father of a multitude, Father of a multitude]!” He said, “Here I am.”
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.
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 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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham [Father of a multitude] went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead 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.
Abraham [Father of a multitude] called the name of that place Yahweh Yeer'eh [Yahweh will be seen / He sustains breathing will provide]. As it is said to this day, “On Adonai’s mountain, it will be provided.”
15 L'ange du Seigneur appela une seconde fois Abraham du haut du ciel, disant:
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] called to Abraham [Father of a multitude] a second time out of the sky,
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, “I have sworn by myself, says Adonai, 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;
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, en ta race, seront bénies toutes les nations de la terre, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix.
By your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed because you have sh'ma ·heard 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 [Father of a multitude] returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived at Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
20 Ensuite un message vint à lui, disant: Melcha a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor ton frère:
After these things, Abraham [Father of a multitude] was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz d'abord, puis Bayx son frère, et Samuel, père des Syriens,
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram [Elevated],
22 Chazad, Azay, Phaldès, ensuite Jeddar et Bathuel;
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Bathuel a engendré Rébécca: voilà les huit fils que Melcha a enfantés à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah [Securely bound]. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s brother.
24 Et sa concubine nommée Rheuma a, de son côté, enfanté Tabec, Taam, Tochos et Mocha.
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
