Genèse 22
1 Il arriva, après ces choses, que Dieu éprouva Abraham, et il lui dit: Abraham! et il répondit: Me voici.
After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “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.
He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you 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.
Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
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 far 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.
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back 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.
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went 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?
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is 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.
Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went 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.
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10 Puis Abraham étendit la main, et prit le couteau pour égorger son fils.
Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 Mais l'ange de l'Éternel lui cria des cieux, et dit: Abraham, Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici.
Yahweh’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
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.
He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your 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.
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead 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.
Abraham called the name of that place “Yahweh Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On Yahweh’s mountain, it will be provided.”
15 Et l'ange de l'Éternel cria des cieux à Abraham pour la seconde fois,
Yahweh’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
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, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says Yahweh, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your 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 I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will 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.
All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have 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 to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 Or, après ces choses, on fit rapport à Abraham, en disant: Voici, Milca a enfanté, elle aussi, des enfants à Nachor ton frère:
After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uts son premier-né, Buz son frère, Kémuël, père d'Aram;
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Késed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph et Béthuël.
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Et Béthuël a engendré Rébecca. Milca enfanta ces huit à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 Et sa concubine, nommée Réuma, enfanta, elle aussi, Thébah, Gaham, Tahash et Maaca.
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
