And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jokschan engendra Séba et Dedan. Les fils de Dedan furent les Aschurim, les Letuschim et les Leummim.
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

5 Abraham donna tous ses biens à Isaac.
And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 Il fit des dons aux fils de ses concubines; et, tandis qu’il vivait encore, il les envoya loin de son fils Isaac du côté de l’orient, dans le pays d’Orient.
But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7 Voici les jours des années de la vie d’Abraham: il vécut cent soixante quinze ans.
And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 Abraham expira et mourut, après une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
And 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.
9 Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l’enterrèrent dans la caverne de Macpéla, dans le champ d’Éphron, fils de Tsochar, le Héthien, vis-à-vis de Mamré.
And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10 C’est le champ qu’Abraham avait acquis des fils de Heth. Là furent enterrés Abraham et Sara, sa femme.
the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 Après la mort d’Abraham, Dieu bénit Isaac, son fils. Il habitait près du puits de Lachaï-roï.
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
12 Voici la postérité d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, qu’Agar, l’Égyptienne, servante de Sara, avait enfanté à Abraham.
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 Voici les noms des fils d’Ismaël, par leurs noms, selon leurs générations: Nebajoth, premier-né d’Ismaël, Kédar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 Mischma, Duma, Massa,
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa;
15 Hadad, Théma, Jethur, Naphisch et Kedma.
Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 Ce sont là les fils d’Ismaël; ce sont là leurs noms, selon leurs parcs et leurs enclos. Ils furent les douze chefs de leurs peuples.
these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations.
17 Et voici les années de la vie d’Ismaël: cent trente-sept ans. Il expira et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
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 unto his people.
18 Ses fils habitèrent depuis Havila jusqu’à Schur, qui est en face de l’Égypte, en allant vers l’Assyrie. Il s’établit en présence de tous ses frères.
And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Voici la postérité d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham.
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 Abraham engendra Isaac. Isaac était âgé de quarante ans, quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bethuel, l’Araméen, de Paddan-Aram, et sœur de Laban, l’Araméen.
and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21 Isaac implora l’Éternel pour sa femme, car elle était stérile, et l’Éternel l’exauça: Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Les enfants se heurtaient dans son sein; et elle dit: S’il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? Elle alla consulter l’Éternel.
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
23 Et l’Éternel lui dit: Deux nations sont dans ton ventre, et deux peuples se sépareront au sortir de tes entrailles; un de ces peuples sera plus fort que l’autre, et le plus grand sera assujetti au plus petit.
And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated even from thy bowels: And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Les jours où elle devait accoucher s’accomplirent; et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son ventre.
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Le premier sortit entièrement roux, comme un manteau de poil; et on lui donna le nom d’Ésaü.
And the first came forth red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 Ensuite sortit son frère, dont la main tenait le talon d’Ésaü; et on lui donna le nom de Jacob. Isaac était âgé de soixante ans, lorsqu’ils naquirent.
And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 Ces enfants grandirent. Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob fut un homme tranquille, qui restait sous les tentes.
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 Isaac aimait Ésaü, parce qu’il mangeait du gibier; et Rebecca aimait Jacob.
Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Comme Jacob faisait cuire un potage, Ésaü revint des champs, accablé de fatigue.
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:
30 Et Ésaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi, je te prie, manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué. C’est pour cela qu’on a donné à Ésaü le nom d’Édom.
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.
31 Jacob dit: Vends-moi aujourd’hui ton droit d’aînesse.
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 Ésaü répondit: Voici, je m’en vais mourir; à quoi me sert ce droit d’aînesse?
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me?
33 Et Jacob dit: Jure-le moi d’abord. Il le lui jura, et il vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Alors Jacob donna à Ésaü du pain et du potage de lentilles. Il mangea et but, puis se leva et s’en alla. C’est ainsi qu’Ésaü méprisa le droit d’aînesse.
And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright.
