Genesis 35

1 And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."

Dieu dit à Jacob: " Lève-toi, monte à Béthel et demeures-y, et dresse là un autel au Dieu qui t'est apparu quand tu fuyais devant Esaü, ton frère. "

2 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

Jacob dit à sa famille et à tous ceux qui étaient avec lui: " Otez les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieu de vous; purifiez-vous et changez de vêtements.

3 Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."

Nous nous lèverons et nous monterons à Béthel, et là je dresserai un autel au Dieu qui m'a exaucé au jour de mon angoisse, et qui a été avec moi, dans le voyage que j'ai fait. "

4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.

Et ils donnèrent à Jacob tous les dieux étrangers qui étaient entre leurs mains et les boucles qu'ils avaient aux oreilles, et Jacob les enfouit sous le térébinthe qui est à Sichem.

5 Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

Ils partirent, et la terreur de Dieu se répandit sur les villes d'alentour, et on ne poursuivit pas les fils de Jacob.

6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

Jacob, avec tous les gens qui étaient avec lui, arriva à Luz, au pays de Chanaan: c'est Béthel.

7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

Il y bâtit un autel, et il appela ce lieu El-Béthel, car c'est là que Dieu lui était apparu lorsqu'il fuyait devant son frère.

8 Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.

Alors mourut Débora, nourrice de Rebecca, et elle fut enterrée au-dessous de Béthel, au pied du chêne auquel on donna le nom de Chêne des pleurs.

9 And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

Dieu apparut encore à Jacob, après son retour de Paddan-Aram, et il le bénit.

10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So he called his name Israel.

Dieu lui dit: " Ton nom est Jacob; tu ne seras plus appelé Jacob, mais Israël sera ton nom. " Et il le nomma Israël.

11 And God said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

Dieu lui dit: " Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant. Sois fécond et multiplie; il naîtra de toi une nation et une assemblée de nations, et de tes reins sortiront des rois.

12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."

Le pays que j'ai donné à Abraham et à Isaac, je te le donnerai, et je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité après toi. "

13 Then God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

Et Dieu remonta d'auprès de lui, dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé.

14 And Jacob set up a standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

Et dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé, Jacob dressa un monument de pierre, sur lequel il fit une libation et versa de l'huile.

15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.

Il donna le nom de Béthel au lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé.

16 Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.

Ils partirent de Béthel. Il y avait encore une certaine distance avant d'arriver à Ephrata, lorsque Rachel enfanta, et son accouchement fut pénible.

17 When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."

Pendant les douleurs de l'enfantement, la sage-femme lui dit: " Ne crains point, car c'est encore un fils que tu vas avoir. "

18 It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

Comme son âme s'en allait, — car elle était mourante, — elle le nomma Bénoni; mais son père l'appela Benjamin.

19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

Rachel mourut, et elle fut enterrée au chemin d'Ephrata, qui est Bethléem.

20 Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.

Jacob éleva un monument sur sa tombe; c'est le monument de la Tombe de Rachel, qui subsiste encore aujourd'hui.

21 And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

Israël partit, et il dressa sa tente au delà de Migdal-Eder.

22 It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

Pendant qu'Israël demeurait dans cette contrée, Ruben vint et coucha avec Bala, concubine de son père; et Israël l'apprit. Les fils de Jacob étaient au nombre de douze.

23 The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

Fils de Lia: Ruben, premier-né de Jacob, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issachar et Zabulon.

24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

Fils de Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin.

25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.

Fils de Bala, servante de Rachel: Dan et Nephthali.

26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

Fils de Zelpha, servante de Lia: Gad et Aser. Ce sont là les fils de Jacob, qui lui naquirent à Paddan-Aram.

27 So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

Jacob arriva auprès d'Isaac, son père, à Mambré, à Qiryath-Arbé, qui est Hébron, où avaient séjourné Abraham et Isaac.

28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

Les jours d'Isaac furent de cent quatre-vingts ans.

29 And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Isaac expira et mourut, et il fut réuni à son peuple, vieux et rassasié de jours. Esaü et Jacob, ses fils, l'enterrèrent.
