Genèse 22
1 Il arriva, après ces choses, que Dieu éprouva Abraham, et il lui dit: Abraham! et il répondit: Me voici.
AND it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 Et il dit: Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t'en au pays de Morija, et là offre-le en holocauste, sur une des montagnes que je te dirai.
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 Et Abraham se leva de bon matin, bâta son âne, prit deux de ses serviteurs avec lui, et Isaac son fils; il fendit du bois pour l'holocauste; puis il partit et s'en alla vers le lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, vit le lieu de loin.
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 Et Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: Demeurez ici avec l'âne. Moi et l'enfant nous irons jusque-là, et nous adorerons; puis nous reviendrons vers vous.
And Abraham said unto 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 Et Abraham prit le bois de l'holocauste, et le mit sur Isaac son fils; puis il prit dans sa main le feu et le couteau, et ils s'en allèrent tous d'eux ensemble.
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 Alors Isaac parla à Abraham son père, et dit: Mon père! Abraham répondit: Me voici, mon fils. Et il dit: Voici le feu et le bois; mais où est l'agneau pour l'holocauste?
And Isaac spake unto 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 lamb for a burnt offering?
8 Et 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 a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 Et ils vinrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit, et Abraham y bâtit l'autel, et rangea le bois; et il lia Isaac son fils, et le mit sur l'autel, par-dessus le bois.
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and 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 forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 Mais l'ange de l'Éternel lui cria des cieux, et dit: Abraham, Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici.
And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 Et il dit: Ne porte pas ta main sur l'enfant, et ne lui fais rien. Car maintenant je sais que tu crains Dieu, puisque tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 Et Abraham leva les yeux et regarda, et voici derrière lui un bélier, retenu dans un buisson par les cornes. Alors 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 him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 Et Abraham appela ce lieu-là, Jéhova-jiré (l'Éternel y pourvoira). De sorte qu'on dit aujourd'hui: Sur la montagne de l'Éternel il y sera pourvu.
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
15 Et l'ange de l'Éternel cria des cieux à Abraham pour la seconde fois,
And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 Et dit: Je jure par moi-même, dit l'Éternel, que, puisque tu as fait cela, et que tu n'as point refusé ton fils, ton unique,
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 Je te bénirai certainement, et je multiplierai ta postérité comme les étoiles des cieux, et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta postérité possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 Et 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 be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Alors Abraham retourna vers ses serviteurs; et ils se levèrent et s'en allèrent ensemble à Béer-Shéba; et Abraham demeura à Béer-Shéba.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 Or, après ces choses, on fit rapport à Abraham, en disant: Voici, Milca a enfanté, elle aussi, des enfants à Nachor ton frère:
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
21 Uts son premier-né, Buz son frère, Kémuël, père d'Aram;
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Késed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph et Béthuël.
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Et Béthuël a engendré Rébecca. Milca enfanta ces huit à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 Et sa concubine, nommée Réuma, enfanta, elle aussi, Thébah, Gaham, Tahash et Maaca.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
