Genèse 25

1 Abraham prit encore une autre femme du nom de Cettura.

And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

2 Elle lui enfanta Zameran, Jezan, Madal, Madian, Jesboc et Sué.

She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.

3 Jezan engendra Saba et Dedan; fils de Dedan: Assurini, Latusim. et Laomim.

And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

4 Fils de Madian: Gephar, Aphir, Énoch, Abida et Elduga. Tous ceux-ci étaient issus de Cettura.

And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.

5 Or, Abraham donna tout ce qu'il possédait à Isaac, son fils.

Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;

6 Quant aux fils de ses concubines, Abraham leur fit des présents de son vivant, il les envoya loin de son fils Isaac, à l'orient, en la terre des Orientaux.

But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.

7 Bientôt le nombre des jours que vécut Abraham forma cent soixante-cinq ans.

Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.

8 Et Abraham mourut dans une belle vieillesse, âgé et plein de jours, et il fut réuni à son peuple.

And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.

9 Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l'ensevelirent en la double caverne dans le champ de l'Hettéen Éphron, fils de Saar, en face de Membré.

And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;

10 C'était le champ et la caverne qu'Abraham avait achetés des fils de Het; ils y ensevelirent Abraham, auprès de sa femme Sarra.

The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.

11 Or après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac, qui demeura vers le puits de la Vision.

Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.

12 Voici les générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, que lui enfanta l'Égyptienne Agar, servante de Sarra.

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:

13 Voici les noms des fils d'Ismaël, conformes aux noms de leurs tribus: Nabaïoth, le premier-né d'Ismaël, puis Cédar, Abdéel, Massan,

These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam

14 Masma, Duma, Massi,

And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,

15 Puis Choddan, Théman, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.

Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 Ceux-ci sont les fils d'Ismaël; ces noms sont ceux qu'ils portèrent sous leurs tentes, dans leurs camps; ils formèrent douze chefs d'autant de nations.

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.

17 Ismaël vécut cent trente-sept ans, et il mourut, et il fut réuni à sa race.

And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.

18 Il avait demeuré entre Hévilat et Sur, qui est en face de l'Égypte, du côté des Assyriens, vis-à-vis de ses frères.

And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.

19 Voici les générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.

Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:

20 Or, Isaac avait quarante ans lorsqu'il prit pour femme Rébécca, fille de Bathuel, le Syrien, de la Mésopotamie syrienne, sœur de Laban, le Syrien.

Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.

21 Isaac pria au sujet de sa femme Rébécca, parce qu'elle était stérile; et le Seigneur l'exauça; Rébécca conçut.

Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.

22 Comme deux enfants s'agitaient en ses entrailles, elle dit: Cela devait- il m'arriver? pourquoi cela m'arrive-t-il? Et elle s'en alla interroger le Seigneur.

And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.

23 Le Seigneur lui dit: Deux nations sont en ton sein; deux peuples en sortiront pour se séparer; l'un dominera l'autre, et le plus grand sera soumis au moindre.

And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.

24 Et les jours de l'enfantement étant accomplis, elle se trouvait avoir deux jumeaux en ses entrailles.

And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.

25 Le premier-né sortit roux, tout velu, semblable à une peau de bête fauve; et elle lui donna le nom d'Esaü.

And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.

26 Après lui sortit son frère, sa main tenait le pied d'Esaü; aussi lui donna-t-elle le nom de Jacob. Isaac avait cinquante ans, lorsque Rébécca les enfanta.

And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

27 Les jeunes gens grandirent. Esaü fut un homme rustique, habile chasseur; Jacob fut un homme paisible, se plaisant à la maison.

And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

28 Isaac affectionnait Esaü, parce qu'il se nourrissait de son gibier; mais Rébécca chérissait Jacob.

Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.

29 Or, Jacob avait fait cuire un mets, comme Esaü arriva de la plaine, défaillant.

And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;

30 Et Esaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi manger de cette bouillie rousse; car je suis défaillant.

And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.

31 Jacob répondit à Esaü: Cède-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.

And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.

32 Esaü reprit: Je vais mourir; à quoi me sert mon droit d'aînesse?

And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?

33 Jacob lui dit: Prête-moi serment aujourd'hui, et son frère jura; ainsi le droit d'aînesse d'Esaü fut transmis à Jacob.

And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.

34 Jacob donna donc à son frère du pain et de la bouillie de lentilles; Esaü mangea et il but; puis, s'étant levé, il partit, sans se mettre davantage en peine de son droit d'aînesse.

Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
