Genesis 26
1 And it was a famine in the land besides the famine former which it was in [the] days of Abraham and he went Isaac to Abimelech [the] king of [the] Philistines Gerar towards.
II y eut une famine dans le pays, outre la première famine qui avait sévi du temps d’Abraham. Isaac alla chez Abimélec, roi des Philistins, à Gherar.
2 And he appeared to him Yahweh and he said may not you go down Egypt towards dwell in the land which I will say to you.
Le Seigneur lui apparut et dit: "Ne descends pas en Egypte; fixe ta demeure dans le pays que je te désignerai.
3 Sojourn in the land this so I may be with you and I will bless you for to you and to offspring your I will give all the lands these and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham father your.
Arrête-toi dans ce pays ci, je serai avec toi et je te bénirai; car à toi et à ta postérité je donnerai toutes ces provinces, accomplissant ainsi le serment que j’ai fait à ton père Abraham.
4 And I will multiply offspring your like [the] stars of the heavens and I will give to offspring your all the lands these and they will bless themselves by offspring your all [the] nations of the earth.
Je multiplierai ta race comme les astres du ciel; je lui donnerai toutes ces provinces et en ta race s’estimeront bénies toutes les nations du monde:
5 Consequence that he listened Abraham to voice my and he kept duty my commandments my statutes my and laws my.
En récompense de ce qu’Abraham a écouté ma voix et suivi mon observance, exécutant mes préceptes, mes lois et mes doctrines."
6 And he dwelt Isaac in Gerar.
Et Isaac demeura à Gherar.
7 And they asked [the] men of the place of wife his and he said [is] sister my she for he was afraid to say wife my lest they should kill me [the] men of the place on Rebekah for [was] good of appearance she.
Les habitants du lieu s’enquérant au sujet de sa femme, il dit: "Elle est ma sœur" car il n’osait dire ma femme: "les gens du lieu pourraient me tuer à cause de Rébecca, car elle est d’une grande beauté."
8 And it was that they had become long to him there the days and he looked down Abimelech [the] king of [the] Philistines through the window and he saw and there! Isaac [was] playing with Rebekah wife his.
Or, il y demeurait depuis longtemps lorsque Abimélec, roi des Philistins, regardant par la fenêtre, vit Isaac caresser Rébecca sa femme.
9 And he summoned Abimelech Isaac and he said surely here! [is] wife your she and how? did you say [is] sister my she and he said to him Isaac for I thought lest I should die on her.
Abimélec manda Isaac et dit: "Assurément, c’est ta femme; comment donc as tu pu dire: Elle est ma sœur!" Isaac lui répondit: "Parce que je me disais: Je pourrais périr à cause d’elle."
10 And he said Abimelech what? this have you done to us like a little he lay with one of the people wife your and you will bring on us guilt.
Abimélec dit: "Que nous as tu fait là! Peu s’en est fallu que l’un de nous n’eut commencé commerce avec ta femme et tu nous aurais rendu coupables."
11 And he commanded Abimelech all the people saying who [-ever] touches the man this and wife his certainly he will be put to death.
Abimélec fit une injonction à tout le peuple, en disant: "Quiconque touchera à cet homme ou à sa femme sera puni de mort."
12 And he sowed Isaac in the land that and he found in the year that one hundred measures and he blessed him Yahweh.
Isaac sema dans ce pays-là et recueillit, cette même année, au centuple: tant le Seigneur le bénissait.
13 And he became great the man and he went continuously and becoming great until for he became great exceedingly.
Cet homme devint grand; puis sa grandeur alla croissant et enfin il fut très grand.
14 And it be[longed] to him livestock of flock and livestock of herd and service much and they envied him [the] Philistines.
Il avait des possessions en menu bétail, des possessions en gros bétail, des cultures considérables et les Philistins le jalousèrent.
15 And all the wells which they had dug [the] servants of father his in [the] days of Abraham father his they stopped up them [the] Philistines and they filled them earth.
Tous les puits qu’avaient creusés les serviteurs de son père, du temps de son père Abraham, les Philistins les comblèrent en les remplissant de terre.
16 And he said Abimelech to Isaac go from with us for you have become [too] powerful for us much.
Abimélec dit à Isaac: "Cesse d’habiter avec nous car tu es trop puissant pour nous."
17 And he went from there Isaac and he encamped in [the] wadi of Gerar and he dwelt there.
Isaac se retira de ce lieu, fit halte dans la vallée de Gherar et s’y établit.
18 And he returned Isaac and he dug - [the] wells of water which people had dug in [the] days of Abraham father his and they had stopped up them [the] Philistines after [the] death of Abraham and he called them names like the names which he had called them father his.
Isaac se remit à creuser les puits qu’on avait creusés du temps d’Abraham son père et que les Philistins avaient comblés après la mort d’Abraham. II leur imposa les mêmes noms que leur avait imposés son père.
19 And they dug [the] servants of Isaac in the wadi and they found there a well of water living.
Les serviteurs d’Isaac, en creusant dans la vallée, y découvrirent une source d’eau vive.
20 And they disputed [the] herdsmen of Gerar with [the] herdsmen of Isaac saying [belongs] to us the water and he called [the] name of the well Esek for they quarreled with him.
Les pâtres de Gherar cherchèrent querelle à ceux d’Isaac, en disant: "L’Eau est à nous!" II appela ce puits Esek parce qu’on le lui avait contesté.
21 And they dug a well another and they disputed also on it and he called name its Sitnah.
lls creusèrent un nouveau puits sur lequel on se querella encore. II lui donna le nom de Sitna.
22 And he moved on from there and he dug a well another and not they disputed on it and he called name its Rehoboth and he said that now he has made space Yahweh for us and we will be fruitful in the land.
Il délogea de là et creusa un autre puits, qu’on ne lui disputa point; il le nomma Rehoboth, disant: "Pour le coup, le Seigneur nous a élargis et nous prospérerons dans la contrée."
23 And he went up from there Beer Sheba.
II monta de là à Beer Shava.
24 And he appeared to him Yahweh in the night that and he said I [am] [the] God of Abraham father your may not you be afraid for [am] with you I and I will bless you and I will multiply offspring your for sake of Abraham servant my.
L’Éternel se révéla à lui cette même nuit, en disant: "Je suis le Dieu d’Abraham ton père; sois sans crainte, car je suis avec toi, je te bénirai et je multiplierai ta race, pour l’amour d’Abraham mon serviteur."
25 And he built there an altar and he called on [the] name of Yahweh and he pitched there tent his and they dug there [the] servants of Isaac a well.
II érigea en ce lieu un autel et proclama le nom de l’Éternel. II y dressa sa tente et ses serviteurs y creusèrent un puits.
26 And Abimelech he came to him from Gerar and Ahuzzah close friend his and Phicol [the] commander of army his.
Or, Abimélec alla chez lui, de Gherar, avec Ahouzzath son confident et Pikol son général d’armée.
27 And he said to them Isaac why? have you come to me and you you hate me and you sent away me from with you.
Isaac leur dit: "Pourquoi êtes vous venus à moi, alors que vous me haïssez et que vous m’avez éconduit de chez vous?"
28 And they said certainly we have seen that he has been Yahweh - with you and we said let it be please an oath between us between us and between you and let us make a covenant with you.
Ils répondirent: "Nous avons bien vu que le Seigneur était avec toi et nous avons dit: ‘Oh! qu’il y ait un engagement réciproque entre nous et toi!’ Nous voudrions conclure ce pacte avec toi,
29 If you will do with us harm just as not we have touched you and just as we have done with you only good and we sent away you in peace you now [are] blessed of Yahweh.
que tu t’abstiendras de nous nuire, de même que nous ne t’avons pas touché, que nous en avons toujours bien usé avec toi et que nous t’avons renvoyé en paix. Maintenant, sois béni de Dieu!"
30 And he prepared for them a feast and they ate and they drank.
II leur prépara un festin, ils mangèrent et burent.
31 And they rose early in the morning and they swore an oath each to brother his and he sent off them Isaac and they went from with him in peace.
Le lendemain de bon matin ils se prêtèrent serment l’un à l’autre; Isaac les reconduisit et ils le quittèrent amicalement.
32 And it was - on the day that and they came [the] servants of Isaac and they told to him on [the] causes of the well which they had dug and they said to him we have found water.
Or ce même jour, les serviteurs d’Isaac virent lui donner des nouvelles du puits qu’ils avaient creusé; ils lui dirent: "Nous avons trouvé de l’eau."
33 And he called it Shibah there-fore [the] name of the city [is] Beer Sheba until the day this.
Il le nomma Chiba; de là cette ville s’est nommée Beer Shava, nom qu’elle porte encore.
34 And he was Esau a son of forty year[s] and he took a wife Judith [the] daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath [the] daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Ésaü, âgé de quarante ans, prit pour femmes Judith, fille de Beéri le Héthéen et Bâsemath, fille d’Élôn le Héthéen.
35 And they were bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Elles furent une amère affliction pour Isaac et pour Rébecca.
