Genèse 22
1 Après ces choses, Dieu mit Abraham à l’épreuve, et lui dit: Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
And it came to pass after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! and he said, Here am I.
2 Dieu dit: Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac; va-t’en au pays de Morija, et là offre-le en holocauste sur l’une des montagnes que je te dirai.
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son], whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 Abraham se leva de bon matin, sella son âne, et prit avec lui deux serviteurs et son fils Isaac. Il fendit du bois pour l’holocauste, et partit pour aller au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.
And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of.
4 Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, vit le lieu de loin.
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.
5 Et Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: Restez ici avec l’âne; moi et le jeune homme, nous irons jusque-là pour adorer, et nous reviendrons auprès de vous.
And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6 Abraham prit le bois pour l’holocauste, le chargea sur son fils Isaac, et porta dans sa main le feu et le couteau. Et ils marchèrent tous deux ensemble.
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and the knife, and they went both of them together.
7 Alors Isaac, parlant à Abraham, son père, dit: Mon père! Et il répondit: Me voici, mon fils! Isaac reprit: Voici le feu et le bois; mais où est l’agneau pour l’holocauste?
And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the sheep for a burnt-offering?
8 Abraham répondit: Mon fils, Dieu se pourvoira lui-même de l’agneau pour l’holocauste. Et ils marchèrent tous deux ensemble.
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself with the sheep for a burnt-offering. And they went both of them together.
9 Lorsqu’ils furent arrivés au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit, Abraham y éleva un autel, et rangea le bois. Il lia son fils Isaac, et le mit sur l’autel, par-dessus le bois.
And they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built the altar there, and piled the wood; and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 Puis Abraham étendit la main, et prit le couteau, pour égorger son fils.
And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 Alors l’ange de l’Éternel l’appela des cieux, et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.
12 L’ange dit: N’avance pas ta main sur l’enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car je sais maintenant que tu crains Dieu, et que tu ne m’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son], from me.
13 Abraham leva les yeux, et vit derrière lui un bélier retenu dans un buisson par les cornes; et Abraham alla prendre le bélier, et l’offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son.
14 Abraham donna à ce lieu le nom de Jehova-Jiré. C’est pourquoi l’on dit aujourd’hui: A la montagne de l’Éternel il sera pourvu.
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided.
15 L’ange de l’Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham des cieux,
And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time,
16 et dit: Je le jure par moi-même, parole de l’Éternel! Parce que tu as fait cela, et que tu n’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,
and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son],
17 je te bénirai et je multiplierai ta postérité, comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta postérité possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 Toutes les nations de la terre seront bénies en ta postérité, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix.
and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
19 Abraham étant retourné vers ses serviteurs, ils se levèrent et s’en allèrent ensemble à Beer-Schéba; car Abraham demeurait à Beer-Schéba.
And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 Après ces choses, on fit à Abraham un rapport, en disant: Voici, Milca a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:
21 Uts, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Kemuel, père d’Aram,
Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Késed, Hazo, Pildasch, Jidlaph et Bethuel.
and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Bethuel a engendré Rebecca. Ce sont là les huit fils que Milca a enfantés à Nachor, frère d’Abraham.
(And Bethuel begot Rebecca.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 Sa concubine, nommée Réuma, a aussi enfanté Thébach, Gaham, Tahasch et Maaca.
And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.
