Genèse 22
1 Et après ces choses il arriva que Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve; et Il lui dit: Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
2 Et Il dit: Eh bien! prends ton fils, ton unique, que tu aimes, Isaac, et va-t'en au pays de Moriah, et là offre-le en holocauste sur l'une des montagnes que je te dirai.
He said, "Now take your son, your only one, whom you love, even Isaac, 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 Je matin et bâta son âne, et prit deux de ses valets avec lui, et Isaac, son fils, et il fendit du bois pour l'holocauste, et il se leva et prit son chemin vers le lieu que Dieu lui avait indiqué.
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, aperçut le lieu de loin.
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
5 Alors Abraham dit à ses valets: Restez ici avec l'âne, et moi et l'enfant nous irons jusque-là, et nous adorerons, puis nous vous rejoindrons.
Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there, and we will worship, and come back to you."
6 Puis Abraham prit le bois de l'holocauste, et en chargea Isaac, son fils, et il prit en sa main le feu et le couteau; et ils s'acheminèrent les deux 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 Et Isaac parla à Abraham, son père, et dit: Mon père! Et il répondit: Me voici, mon fils. Et il dit: Voici bien le feu et le bois; mais où est la victime 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: Dieu verra à se trouver la victime pour l'holocauste, mon fils. Puis ils cheminèrent les deux ensemble.
Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
9 Et ils arrivèrent au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit, et Abraham y éleva l'autel, et disposa le bûcher, et lia Isaac, son fils, et le plaça sur l'autel par dessus le bûcher.
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 Et Abraham étendit la main et prit le couteau pour immoler son fils.
Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 Alors l'ange de l'Éternel l'appela des cieux et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!
But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "Here I am."
12 Et il dit: Ne porte pas la main sur l'enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car maintenant je sais que tu crains Dieu, et tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.
He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me."
13 Alors Abraham leva les yeux et regarda, et voilà que derrière lui un bélier était pris par les cornes dans le hallier, et Abraham alla prendre le bélier, et il l'offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.
And Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 Et Abraham donna à ce lieu le nom de: L'Éternel verra; d'où vient l'expression d'aujourd'hui: A la montagne de l'Éternel Il se rendra visible.
Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
15 Et l'ange de l'Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham des cieux
The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
16 et dit: Je jure par moi-même, déclare l'Éternel, que parce que tu as accompli cet acte, et n'as point refusé ton fils, ton unique,
and said, "I have sworn by myself," says YHWH, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
17 je te bénirai et multiplierai ta postérité comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta postérité sera maîtresse de la porte de ses ennemis.
I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your offspring like the stars of the sky, and like the sand which is on the seashore; and your offspring will possess the gate of their enemies.
18 Et toutes les nations de la terre chercheront leur bénédiction dans ta postérité par la raison que tu as obéi à ma voix.
And through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
19 Et Abraham rejoignit ses valets; puis ils se levèrent, et gagnèrent ensemble Beerséba, et Abraham demeura à Beerséba. –
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 Et sur ces entrefaites Abraham reçut un renseignement conçu en ces termes: Voici, Milca a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:
It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uts, son premier-né, et Buz, son frère, et Kemuel, père d'Aram,
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 et Chésed et Hazo et Pila: das et Jidlaph et Bethuel.
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
23 Et Bethuel a engendré Rebecca: Ce sont là les huit enfants que Milca a enfantés 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 Reumah, a aussi enfanté Tebach et Gaham et Thachas et Maacha.
His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
