Genesis 25
1 Abraham took another wife; her name was Keturah.
Abraham prit une nouvelle épouse, nommée Ketoura.
2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
EIIe lui enfanta Zimrân, Yokchân, Medân, Midyân, Yichbak et Chouah.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Assyrian people, the Letush people, and the Leum people.
Yokchân engendra Cheba et Dedân; et les fils de Dedân furent les Achourim, les Letouchim et les Leoummim.
4 Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were Keturah's descendants.
Les enfants de Midyân: Efa, Efer, Hanoc, Abida et Eldaa. Tous ceux-là furent les enfants de Ketoura.
5 Abraham gave all that he owned to Isaac.
Abraham donna tout ce qu’il possédait à Isaac.
6 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.
Quant aux fils des concubines qu’avait eues Abraham, il leur fit des présents; et tandis qu’il vivait encore, il les relégua loin d’Isaac, son fils, vers l’orient, dans le pays de Kédem.
7 These were the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, 175 years.
Le nombre des années que vécut Abraham fut de cent soixante-quinze ans.
8 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.
Abraham défaillit et mourut, dans une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et satisfait; et il rejoignit ses pères.
9 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.
Il fut inhumé par Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, dans le caveau de Makpéla, dans le domaine d’Efrôn, fils de Çohar, Héthéen, qui est en face de Mambré;
10 This field Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah his wife.
ce domaine qu’Abraham avait acquis des enfants de Heth. Là furent ensevelis Abraham et Sara son épouse.
11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.
Après la mort d’Abraham, le Seigneur bénit Isaac, son fils. Isaac s’établit prés de la source du Vivant-qui-me-voit.
12 Now these were the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
Suivent les générations d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, que l’Égyptienne Agar, esclave de Sara, avait enfanté à Abraham.
13 These were the names of Ishmael's sons, according to their birth order: Nebaioth—the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Voici les noms des fils d’Ismaël, désignés selon leur ordre de naissance: le premier-né d’Ismaël, Nebaïoth; puis Kédar, Adbeél, Mibsam;
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Michma, Douma, Massa;
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Hadad, Tèma, Yetour, Nafich et Kédma
16 These were Ishmael's sons, and these were their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their tribes.
Tels sont les fils d’Ismaël et tels sont leurs noms, chacun dans sa bourgade et dans son domaine; douze chefs de peuplades distinctes.
17 These were the years of the life of Ishmael, 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
Le nombre des années de la vie d’Ismaël fut de cent trente-sept ans. Il défaillit et mourut et rejoignit ses pères.
18 They lived from Havilah to Ashhur, which is near Egypt, as one goes toward Assyria. They lived in hostility with each other.
Ces peuplades habitaient depuis Havila jusqu’à Chour, en face de l’Égypte, jusque vers Achour. Il s’étendit ainsi à la face de tous ses frères.
19 These were the events concerning Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
Ceci est l’histoire d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham: Abraham engendra Isaac.
20 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.
Isaac avait quarante ans lorsqu’il prit pour épouse Rébecca, fille de Bathuel, l’Araméen, du territoire d’Aram, sœur de Laban, l’Araméen.
21 Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife because she was childless, and Yahweh answered his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Isaac implora l’Éternel au sujet de sa femme parce qu’elle était stérile; l’Éternel accueillit sa prière et Rébecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” She went to ask Yahweh about this.
Comme les enfants s’entre poussaient dans son sein, elle dit"Si cela est ainsi, à quoi suis-je destinée!" Et elle alla consulter le Seigneur.
23 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.”
Le Seigneur lui dit: "Deux nations sont dans ton sein et deux peuples sortiront de tes entrailles; un peuple sera plus puissant que l’autre et l’aîné obéira au plus jeune."
24 When it was time for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.
L’Époque de sa délivrance arrivée, il se trouva qu’elle portait des jumeaux.
25 The first child came out red all over like a hairy garment. They called his name Esau.
Le premier qui sortit était roux et tout son corps pareil à une pelisse; on lui donna le nom d’Ésaü.
26 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.
Ensuite naquit son frère tenant de la main le talon d’Ésaü et on le nomma Jacob. Isaac avait soixante ans lors de leur naissance.
27 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.
Les enfants ayant grandi, Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs, tandis que Jacob, homme inoffensif, vécut sous la tente.
28 Now Isaac loved Esau because he ate the animals that he had hunted, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
lsaac préférait Ésaü parce qu’il mettait du gibier dans sa bouche; mais Rébecca préférait Jacob.
29 Jacob cooked some stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was weak from hunger.
Un jour Jacob faisait cuire un potage quand Ésaü revint des champs, fatigué.
30 Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me with that red stew. Please, I am exhausted!” That is why his name was called Edom.
Ésaü dit à Jacob: "Laisse-moi avaler, je te prie, de ce rouge, de ce mets rouge, car je suis fatigué." C’Est à ce propos qu’on le nomma Édom.
31 Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”
Jacob dit: "Vends-moi d’abord ton droit d’aînesse."
32 Esau said, “Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
Ésaü répondit: "Certes! Je marche à la mort; à quoi me sert donc le droit d’aînesse?"
33 Jacob said, “First swear to me,” so Esau swore an oath and in that way he sold his birthright to Jacob.
Jacob dit: "Jure le moi dès à présent." Et il lui fit serment et il vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.
34 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.
Jacob servit à Ésaü du pain et un plat de lentilles; il mangea et but, se leva et ressortit. C’Est ainsi qu’Ésaü dédaigna le droit d’aînesse.
