Genèse 25
1 Abraham prit encore une autre femme du nom de Cettura.
Abraham took another wife; her name was Keturah.
2 Elle lui enfanta Zameran, Jezan, Madal, Madian, Jesboc et Sué.
She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jezan engendra Saba et Dedan; fils de Dedan: Assurini, Latusim. et Laomim.
Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Assyrian people, the Letush people, and the Leum people.
4 Fils de Madian: Gephar, Aphir, Énoch, Abida et Elduga. Tous ceux-ci étaient issus de Cettura.
Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were Keturah's descendants.
5 Or, Abraham donna tout ce qu'il possédait à Isaac, son fils.
Abraham gave all that he owned 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.
However, while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them to the land of the east, away from Isaac, his son.
7 Bientôt le nombre des jours que vécut Abraham forma cent soixante-cinq ans.
These were the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, 175 years.
8 Et Abraham mourut dans une belle vieillesse, âgé et plein de jours, et il fut réuni à son peuple.
Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man with a full life, 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.
Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is 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.
This field Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah his wife.
11 Or après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac, qui demeura vers le puits de la Vision.
After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.
12 Voici les générations d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, que lui enfanta l'Égyptienne Agar, servante de Sarra.
Now these were the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
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 were the names of Ishmael's sons, according to their birth order: Nebaioth—the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Masma, Duma, Massi,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Puis Choddan, Théman, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma.
Hadad, 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 were Ishmael's sons, and these were their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their tribes.
17 Ismaël vécut cent trente-sept ans, et il mourut, et il fut réuni à sa race.
These were the years of the life of Ishmael, 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to 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.
They lived from Havilah to Ashhur, which is near Egypt, as one goes toward Assyria. They lived in hostility with each other.
19 Voici les générations d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.
These were the events concerning Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of 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 as his wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Isaac pria au sujet de sa femme Rébécca, parce qu'elle était stérile; et le Seigneur l'exauça; Rébécca conçut.
Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife because she was childless, and Yahweh answered his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
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.
The children struggled together within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” She went to ask Yahweh about this.
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.
Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from within you. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
24 Et les jours de l'enfantement étant accomplis, elle se trouvait avoir deux jumeaux en ses entrailles.
When it was time for her to give birth, behold, there were 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.
The first child came out red all over like a hairy garment. They 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.
After that, his brother came out. His hand was grasping Esau's heel. He was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when his wife bore them.
27 Les jeunes gens grandirent. Esaü fut un homme rustique, habile chasseur; Jacob fut un homme paisible, se plaisant à la maison.
The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a quiet man, who spent his time in the tents.
28 Isaac affectionnait Esaü, parce qu'il se nourrissait de son gibier; mais Rébécca chérissait Jacob.
Now Isaac loved Esau because he ate the animals that he had hunted, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Or, Jacob avait fait cuire un mets, comme Esaü arriva de la plaine, défaillant.
Jacob cooked some stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was weak from hunger.
30 Et Esaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi manger de cette bouillie rousse; car je suis défaillant.
Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me with that red stew. Please, I am exhausted!” That is why his name was called Edom.
31 Jacob répondit à Esaü: Cède-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.
Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”
32 Esaü reprit: Je vais mourir; à quoi me sert mon droit d'aînesse?
Esau said, “Look, I am about to die. What good 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.
Jacob said, “First swear to me,” so Esau swore an oath and in that way he 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.
Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, then got up and went on his way. In this manner Esau despised his birthright.
