Genèse 25
1 Or Abraham prit une autre femme du nom de Cétura,
Abraham took another wife; her name was Keturah.
2 Laquelle lui enfanta Zamran, Jecsan, Madan, Madian, Jesboc et Sué.
She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Et Jecsan engendra Saba et Dadan. Les fils de Dadan furent Assurim, Latusim et Loomim.
Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Assyrian people, the Letush people, and the Leum people.
4 Mais de Madian naquirent Epha, Opher, Hénoch, Abida et Eldaa. Tous ceux-ci sont les fils de Cétura.
Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were Keturah's descendants.
5 Abraham donna tout ce qu’il possédait à Isaac.
Abraham gave all that he owned to Isaac.
6 Mais aux fils de ses autres femmes, il fit des présents, les sépara d’Isaac, son fils, et les envoya, pendant que lui vivait encore, vers la région orientale.
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 Or les jours de la vie d’Abraham furent de cent soixante-quinze ans.
These were the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, 175 years.
8 Et manquant de forces, il mourut dans une heureuse vieillesse, étant d’un âge fort avancé, 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 Et Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l’ensevelirent dans la caverne double, qui est située dans le champ d’Ephron, fils de Séor l’Héthéen, vis-à-vis de Mambré,
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 Et qu’il avait acheté des fils de Heth: c’est là qu’il fut enseveli, lui, et Sara sa femme.
This field Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah his wife.
11 Et, après sa mort, Dieu bénit Isaac son fils qui habitait près du puits du nom de puits Du vivant et voyant.
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 Agar l’Egyptienne, servante de Sara:
Now these were the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
13 Et voici les noms de ses fils selon leurs noms et leurs générations. Le premier né d’Ismaël fut Nabaïoth, ensuite Cédar, Abdéel, Mabsam,
These were the names of Ishmael's sons, according to their birth order: Nebaioth—the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Masma, Duma, Massa,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Adar, Théma, Séthur, Naphis et Cedma.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 Ce sont là les fils d’Ismaël; ce sont aussi les noms de leurs châteaux et de leurs villes; ils ont été douze princes de leurs tribus.
These were Ishmael's sons, and these were their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their tribes.
17 Or la vie d’Ismaël fut de cent trente-sept ans; et manquant de forces, il mourut, et fut réuni à son peuple.
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 habita depuis Hévila jusqu’à Sur, qui regarde l’Égypte, quand on entre en Assyrie: c’est en présence de tous ses frères qu’il mourut.
They lived from Havilah to Ashhur, which is near Egypt, as one goes toward Assyria. They lived in hostility with each other.
19 Voici aussi 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 Lequel, lorsqu’il était âgé de quarante ans, prit pour femme Rébecca, fille de Bathuel, Syrien de Mésopotamie, et sœur de Laban.
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 Or Isaac implora le Seigneur pour sa femme, parce qu’elle était stérile: et le Seigneur l’exauça, et accorda la conception à Rébecca.
Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife because she was childless, and Yahweh answered his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Mais ses enfants s’entrechoquaient dans son sein; elle dit: S’il devait en être ainsi pour moi, qu’était-il besoin de concevoir? Et elle alla, pour consulter 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 Qui répondant, dit: Deux nations sont dans ton sein, et deux peuples sortis de ton ventre se diviseront; un peuple surpassera l’autre peuple, et l’aîné servira le plus jeune.
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 Déjà le temps d’enfanter était venu, et voilà que deux jumeaux se trouvèrent dans son sein.
When it was time for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Celui qui le premier sortit, était roux, tout hérissé de poils comme une peau; et il fut appelé du nom d’Esaü. Aussitôt l’autre sortant, tenait de sa main le pied de son frère: et c’est pour cela qu’elle l’appela Jacob.
The first child came out red all over like a hairy garment. They called his name Esau.
26 Isaac était sexagénaire, quand ces enfants lui naquirent.
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 Ceux-ci devenus grands, Esaü se rendit habile à chasser, et fut un homme des champs; Jacob, au contraire, homme simple, habitait sous les tentes.
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 aimait Esaü, parce qu’il se nourrissait de sa chasse; et Rébecca chérissait Jacob.
Now Isaac loved Esau because he ate the animals that he had hunted, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Or Jacob fit cuire un mets; Esaü étant venu vers lui des champs très fatigué,
Jacob cooked some stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was weak from hunger.
30 Dit: Donne-moi de ce mets roux; car je suis extrêmement fatigué. C’est pour ce motif qu’il fut appelé du nom d’Edom.
Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me with that red stew. Please, I am exhausted!” That is why his name was called Edom.
31 Jacob lui dit: Vends-moi ton droit d’aînesse.
Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”
32 Esaü répondit: Voici que je meurs; à quoi me servira mon droit d’aînesse?
Esau said, “Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 Jacob repartit: Jure-le moi donc. Esaü le lui jura, et il vendit son droit d’aînesse.
Jacob said, “First swear to me,” so Esau swore an oath and in that way he sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 C’est ainsi qu’ayant pris du pain et le plat de lentilles, il mangea et but, et s’en alla, estimant peu d’avoir vendu 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.
