3 Jezan engendra Saba et Dedan; fils de Dedan: Assurini, Latusim. et Laomim.
And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.

But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.
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 concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east.
7 Bientôt le nombre des jours que vécut Abraham forma cent soixante-cinq ans.
And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Et Abraham mourut dans une belle vieillesse, âgé et plein de jours, et il fut réuni à son peuple.
And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to 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 Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre:
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.
[even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.
11 Or après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac, qui demeura vers le puits de la Vision.
And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived by the well of the vision.
12 Voici les générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, que lui enfanta l'Égyptienne Agar, servante de Sarra.
And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the handmaid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.

15 Puis Choddan, Théman, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.
and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.
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 Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.
17 Ismaël vécut cent trente-sept ans, et il mourut, et il fut réuni à sa race.
And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.
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 he lived from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he lived in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Voici les générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.
And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.
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.
Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took as wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.
21 Isaac pria au sujet de sa femme Rébécca, parce qu'elle était stérile; et le Seigneur l'exauça; Rébécca conçut.
And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.
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 babes leapt within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of 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, There are two nations in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Et les jours de l'enfantement étant accomplis, elle se trouvait avoir deux jumeaux en ses entrailles.
And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.
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, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name 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 this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore 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 lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.
28 Isaac affectionnait Esaü, parce qu'il se nourrissait de son gibier; mais Rébécca chérissait Jacob.
And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 Or, Jacob avait fait cuire un mets, comme Esaü arriva de la plaine, défaillant.
And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.
30 Et Esaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi manger de cette bouillie rousse; car je suis défaillant.
And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.
31 Jacob répondit à Esaü: Cède-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.
And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day your birthright.
32 Esaü reprit: Je vais mourir; à quoi me sert mon droit d'aînesse?
And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] 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 to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold 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.
And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.
