1 Abraham prit encore une autre femme du nom de Cettura.
And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:
2 Elle lui enfanta Zameran, Jezan, Madal, Madian, Jesboc et Sué.
Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.
3 Jezan engendra Saba et Dedan; fils de Dedan: Assurini, Latusim. et Laomim.
Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.
4 Fils de Madian: Gephar, Aphir, Énoch, Abida et Elduga. Tous ceux-ci étaient issus de Cettura.
But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.
5 Or, Abraham donna tout ce qu'il possédait à Isaac, son fils.
And Abraham gave all his possessions 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.
And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.
7 Bientôt le nombre des jours que vécut Abraham forma cent soixante-cinq ans.
And the days of Abraham’s life were 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 decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and 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 Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, 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.
Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.
11 Or après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac, qui demeura vers le puits de la Vision.
And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.
12 Voici les générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, que lui enfanta l'Égyptienne Agar, servante de Sarra.
These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara’s servant, bore unto 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 children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.
14 Masma, Duma, Massi,
And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
15 Puis Choddan, Théman, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.
Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
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 by their castles and towns, 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 Ismael’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto 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 he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Voici les générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.
These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot 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 to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
21 Isaac pria au sujet de sa femme Rébécca, parce qu'elle était stérile; et le Seigneur l'exauça; Rébécca conçut.
And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
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 children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were 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 he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome 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 when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found 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 that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore 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 threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
27 Les jeunes gens grandirent. Esaü fut un homme rustique, habile chasseur; Jacob fut un homme paisible, se plaisant à la maison.
And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
28 Isaac affectionnait Esaü, parce qu'il se nourrissait de son gibier; mais Rébécca chérissait Jacob.
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 Or, Jacob avait fait cuire un mets, comme Esaü arriva de la plaine, défaillant.
And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
30 Et Esaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi manger de cette bouillie rousse; car je suis défaillant.
Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
31 Jacob répondit à Esaü: Cède-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.
And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
32 Esaü reprit: Je vais mourir; à quoi me sert mon droit d'aînesse?
He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail 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: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
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 pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.
