Genèse 25
1 Abraham prit encore une femme, nommée Ketura.
And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.
2 Elle lui enfanta Zimran, Jokschan, Medan, Madian, Jischbak et Schuach.
She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.
3 Jokschan engendra Séba et Dedan. Les fils de Dedan furent les Aschurim, les Letuschim et les Leummim.
And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.
4 Les fils de Madian furent Épha, Épher, Hénoc, Abida et Eldaa. Ce sont là tous les fils de Ketura.
And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.
5 Abraham donna tous ses biens à Isaac.
Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;
6 Il fit des dons aux fils de ses concubines; et, tandis qu’il vivait encore, il les envoya loin de son fils Isaac du côté de l’orient, dans le pays d’Orient.
But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.
7 Voici les jours des années de la vie d’Abraham: il vécut cent soixante quinze ans.
Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.
8 Abraham expira et mourut, après une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.
9 Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l’enterrèrent dans la caverne de Macpéla, dans le champ d’Éphron, fils de Tsochar, le Héthien, vis-à-vis de Mamré.
And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;
10 C’est le champ qu’Abraham avait acquis des fils de Heth. Là furent enterrés Abraham et Sara, sa femme.
The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.
11 Après la mort d’Abraham, Dieu bénit Isaac, son fils. Il habitait près du puits de Lachaï-roï.
Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.
12 Voici la postérité d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, qu’Agar, l’Égyptienne, servante de Sara, avait enfanté à Abraham.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:
13 Voici les noms des fils d’Ismaël, par leurs noms, selon leurs générations: Nebajoth, premier-né d’Ismaël, Kédar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam
14 Mischma, Duma, Massa,
And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,
15 Hadad, Théma, Jethur, Naphisch et Kedma.
Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 Ce sont là les fils d’Ismaël; ce sont là leurs noms, selon leurs parcs et leurs enclos. Ils furent les douze chefs de leurs peuples.
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.
17 Et voici les années de la vie d’Ismaël: cent trente-sept ans. Il expira et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.
18 Ses fils habitèrent depuis Havila jusqu’à Schur, qui est en face de l’Égypte, en allant vers l’Assyrie. Il s’établit en présence de tous ses frères.
And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.
19 Voici la postérité d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham.
Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:
20 Abraham engendra Isaac. Isaac était âgé de quarante ans, quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bethuel, l’Araméen, de Paddan-Aram, et sœur de Laban, l’Araméen.
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.
21 Isaac implora l’Éternel pour sa femme, car elle était stérile, et l’Éternel l’exauça: Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.
22 Les enfants se heurtaient dans son sein; et elle dit: S’il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? Elle alla consulter l’Éternel.
And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.
23 Et l’Éternel lui dit: Deux nations sont dans ton ventre, et deux peuples se sépareront au sortir de tes entrailles; un de ces peuples sera plus fort que l’autre, et le plus grand sera assujetti au plus petit.
And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.
24 Les jours où elle devait accoucher s’accomplirent; et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son ventre.
And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.
25 Le premier sortit entièrement roux, comme un manteau de poil; et on lui donna le nom d’Ésaü.
And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.
26 Ensuite sortit son frère, dont la main tenait le talon d’Ésaü; et on lui donna le nom de Jacob. Isaac était âgé de soixante ans, lorsqu’ils naquirent.
And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27 Ces enfants grandirent. Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob fut un homme tranquille, qui restait sous les tentes.
And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 Isaac aimait Ésaü, parce qu’il mangeait du gibier; et Rebecca aimait Jacob.
Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.
29 Comme Jacob faisait cuire un potage, Ésaü revint des champs, accablé de fatigue.
And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;
30 Et Ésaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi, je te prie, manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué. C’est pour cela qu’on a donné à Ésaü le nom d’Édom.
And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.
31 Jacob dit: Vends-moi aujourd’hui ton droit d’aînesse.
And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.
32 Ésaü répondit: Voici, je m’en vais mourir; à quoi me sert ce droit d’aînesse?
And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?
33 Et Jacob dit: Jure-le moi d’abord. Il le lui jura, et il vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.
And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.
34 Alors Jacob donna à Ésaü du pain et du potage de lentilles. Il mangea et but, puis se leva et s’en alla. C’est ainsi qu’Ésaü méprisa le droit d’aînesse.
Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
