Genesis 25
1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
Abraham prit une nouvelle épouse, nommée Ketoura.
2 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
EIIe lui enfanta Zimrân, Yokchân, Medân, Midyân, Yichbak et Chouah.
3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Yokchân engendra Cheba et Dedân; et les fils de Dedân furent les Achourim, les Letouchim et les Leoummim.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Les enfants de Midyân: Efa, Efer, Hanoc, Abida et Eldaa. Tous ceux-là furent les enfants de Ketoura.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
Abraham donna tout ce qu’il possédait à Isaac.
6 But to the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.
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 And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred and seventy and five years.
Le nombre des années que vécut Abraham fut de cent soixante-quinze ans.
8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
Abraham défaillit et mourut, dans une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et satisfait; et il rejoignit ses pères.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before 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 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
ce domaine qu’Abraham avait acquis des enfants de Heth. Là furent ensevelis Abraham et Sara son épouse.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
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 are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham:
Suivent les générations d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, que l’Égyptienne Agar, esclave de Sara, avait enfanté à Abraham.
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and 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 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Michma, Douma, Massa;
15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Hadad, Tèma, Yetour, Nafich et Kédma
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
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 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost 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 And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
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 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
Ceci est l’histoire d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham: Abraham engendra Isaac.
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah for a wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
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 And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, 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 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
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 And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be born of thee; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall 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 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
L’Époque de sa délivrance arrivée, il se trouva qu’elle portait des jumeaux.
25 And the first was born red, all over like an hairy garment; and 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 And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she 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 And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
Les enfants ayant grandi, Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs, tandis que Jacob, homme inoffensif, vécut sous la tente.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
lsaac préférait Ésaü parce qu’il mettait du gibier dans sa bouche; mais Rébecca préférait Jacob.
29 And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
Un jour Jacob faisait cuire un potage quand Ésaü revint des champs, fatigué.
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name 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 And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birthright.
Jacob dit: "Vends-moi d’abord ton droit d’aînesse."
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright bring to me?
Ésaü répondit: "Certes! Je marche à la mort; à quoi me sert donc le droit d’aînesse?"
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and 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 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose, and went his way: thus 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.
