Genèse 25
1 Abraham prit encore une autre femme du nom de Cettura.
In truth, Abraham took another wife, named Keturah.
2 Elle lui enfanta Zameran, Jezan, Madal, Madian, Jesboc et Sué.
And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jezan engendra Saba et Dedan; fils de Dedan: Assurini, Latusim. et Laomim.
Likewise, Jokshan conceived Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 Fils de Madian: Gephar, Aphir, Énoch, Abida et Elduga. Tous ceux-ci étaient issus de Cettura.
And truly, from Midian was born Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.
5 Or, Abraham donna tout ce qu'il possédait à Isaac, son fils.
And Abraham gave everything that he possessed 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 the concubines he gave generous gifts, and he separated them from his son Isaac, while he still lived, toward the eastern region.
7 Bientôt le nombre des jours que vécut Abraham forma cent soixante-cinq ans.
Now the days of Abraham’s life were one 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 declining, he died in a good old age, and at an advanced stage of life, and full of days. And he was gathered 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 his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron, of the son of Zohar the Hittite, across from the region of 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.
which he had bought from the sons of Heth. There he was buried, with his wife Sarah.
11 Or après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac, qui demeura vers le puits de la Vision.
And after his passing, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near the well named ‘of the One who lives and who sees.’
12 Voici les générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, que lui enfanta l'Égyptienne Agar, servante de Sarra.
These are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to him.
13 Voici les noms des fils d'Ismaël, conformes aux noms de leurs tribus: Nabaïoth, le premier-né d'Ismaël, puis Cédar, Abdéel, Massan,
And these are the names of his sons according to their language and generations. The firstborn of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 Masma, Duma, Massi,
likewise Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Puis Choddan, Théman, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.
Hadad, and Tema, and Jetur, and 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 throughout their fortresses and towns: the twelve princes of their tribes.
17 Ismaël vécut cent trente-sept ans, et il mourut, et il fut réuni à sa race.
And the years of the life of Ishmael that passed were one hundred and thirty-seven. And declining, he died and was placed 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.
Now he had lived from Havilah as far as Shur, which overlooks Egypt as it approaches the Assyrians. He passed away in the sight of all his brothers.
19 Voici les générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.
Likewise, these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham conceived 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.
who, when he was forty years old, took Rebekah, the sister of Laban, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian from Mesopotamia, as a wife.
21 Isaac pria au sujet de sa femme Rébécca, parce qu'elle était stérile; et le Seigneur l'exauça; Rébécca conçut.
And Isaac beseeched the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And he heard him, and he gave conception to Rebekah.
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.
But the little ones struggled in her womb. So she said, “If it was to be so with me, what need was there to conceive?” And she went to consult 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 responding, he said, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be divided out of your womb, and one people will overcome the other people, and the elder will serve the younger.”
24 Et les jours de l'enfantement étant accomplis, elle se trouvait avoir deux jumeaux en ses entrailles.
Now the time had arrived to give birth, and behold, twins were discovered 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.
He who departed first was red, and entirely hairy like a pelt; and his name was called Esau. At once the other departed and he held his brother’s foot in his hand; and because of this he was called Jacob.
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.
Isaac was sixty years old when the little ones were born to him.
27 Les jeunes gens grandirent. Esaü fut un homme rustique, habile chasseur; Jacob fut un homme paisible, se plaisant à la maison.
And as adults, Esau became a knowledgeable hunter and a man of agriculture, but Jacob, a simple man, dwelt in tents.
28 Isaac affectionnait Esaü, parce qu'il se nourrissait de son gibier; mais Rébécca chérissait Jacob.
Isaac was fond of Esau, because he was fed from his hunting; and Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Or, Jacob avait fait cuire un mets, comme Esaü arriva de la plaine, défaillant.
Then Jacob boiled a small meal. Esau, when he had arrived weary from the field,
30 Et Esaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi manger de cette bouillie rousse; car je suis défaillant.
said to him, “Give me this red stew, for I am very tired.” For this reason, his name was called Edom.
31 Jacob répondit à Esaü: Cède-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.
Jacob said to him, “Sell me your right of the firstborn.”
32 Esaü reprit: Je vais mourir; à quoi me sert mon droit d'aînesse?
He answered, “Lo, I am dying, what will the right of the firstborn provide for 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.
Jacob said, “So then, swear to me.” Esau swore to him, and he sold his right of the firstborn.
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 so, taking bread and the food of lentils, he ate, and he drank, and he went away, giving little weight to having sold the right of the firstborn.
