Genesis 35

1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar unto the God that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

Dieu dit à Jacob: Lève-toi, monte à Béthel, et demeures-y; là, tu dresseras un autel au Dieu qui t’apparut, lorsque tu fuyais Ésaü, ton frère.

2 And Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;

Jacob dit à sa maison 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 and we will arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to the God that answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.

Nous nous lèverons, et nous monterons à Béthel; là, je dresserai un autel au Dieu qui m’a exaucé dans le jour de ma détresse, et qui a été avec moi pendant le voyage que j’ai fait.

4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the terebinth that [is] by Shechem.

Ils donnèrent à Jacob tous les dieux étrangers qui étaient entre leurs mains, et les anneaux qui étaient à leurs oreilles. Jacob les enfouit sous le térébinthe qui est près de Sichem.

5 And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

Ensuite ils partirent. La terreur de Dieu se répandit sur les villes qui les entouraient, et l’on ne poursuivit point les fils de Jacob.

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

Jacob arriva, lui et tous ceux qui étaient avec lui, à Luz, qui est Béthel, dans le pays de Canaan.

7 And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God had appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

Il bâtit là un autel, et il appela ce lieu El-Béthel; car c’est là que Dieu s’était révélé à lui lorsqu’il fuyait son frère.

8 And Deborah, Rebecca's nurse, died; and she was buried beneath Bethel, under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.

Débora, nourrice de Rebecca, mourut; et elle fut enterrée au-dessous de Béthel, sous le chêne auquel on a donné le nom de chêne des pleurs.

9 And God appeared to Jacob again after he had come from Padan-Aram, and blessed him.

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

10 And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called his name Israel.

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

11 And God said to him, I am the Almighty God: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee; and kings shall come out of thy loins.

Dieu lui dit: Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant. Sois fécond, et multiplie: une nation et une multitude de nations naîtront de toi, et des rois sortiront de tes reins.

12 And the land that I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

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

13 And God went up from him in the place where he had talked with him.

Dieu s’éleva au-dessus de lui, dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé.

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

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

15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God had talked with him, Beth-el.

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

16 And they journeyed from Bethel. And there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath, when Rachel travailed in childbirth; and it went hard with her in her childbearing.

Ils partirent de Béthel; et il y avait encore une certaine distance jusqu’à Éphrata, lorsque Rachel accoucha. Elle eut un accouchement pénible;

17 And it came to pass when it went hard with her in her childbearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.

et pendant les douleurs de l’enfantement, la sage-femme lui dit: Ne crains point, car tu as encore un fils!

18 And it came to pass as her soul was departing — for she died — that she called his name Benoni; but his father called him Benjamin.

Et comme elle allait rendre l’âme, car elle était mourante, elle lui donna le nom de Ben-Oni; mais le père l’appela Benjamin.

19 And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which [is] Bethlehem.

Rachel mourut, et elle fut enterrée sur le chemin d’Éphrata, qui est Bethléhem.

20 And Jacob erected a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to [this] day.

Jacob éleva un monument sur son sépulcre; c’est le monument du sépulcre de Rachel, qui existe encore aujourd’hui.

21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent on the other side of Migdal-Eder.

Israël partit; et il dressa sa tente au-delà de Migdal-Éder.

22 And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

Pendant qu’Israël habitait cette contrée, Ruben alla coucher avec Bilha, 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 Léa: Ruben, premier-né de Jacob, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar et Zabulon.

24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

Fils de Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin.

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

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

26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-Aram.

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

27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre — to Kirjath-Arba, which is Hebron; where Abraham had sojourned, and Isaac.

Jacob arriva auprès d’Isaac, son père, à Mamré, à Kirjath-Arba, qui est Hébron, où avaient séjourné Abraham et Isaac.

28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.

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

29 And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Il expira et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple, âgé et rassasié de jours, et Ésaü et Jacob, ses fils, l’enterrèrent.
