1And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:
1Abraham prit encore une femme, nommée Ketura.
2Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.
2Elle lui enfanta Zimran, Jokschan, Medan, Madian, Jischbak et Schuach.
3Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.
3Jokschan engendra Séba et Dedan. Les fils de Dedan furent les Aschurim, les Letuschim et les Leummim.
4But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.
4Les fils de Madian furent Épha, Épher, Hénoc, Abida et Eldaa. Ce sont là tous les fils de Ketura.
5And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac.
5Abraham donna tous ses biens à Isaac.
6And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.
6Il 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.
7And the days of Abraham’s life were a hundred and seventy-five years.
7Voici les jours des années de la vie d’Abraham: il vécut cent soixante quinze ans.
8And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.
8Abraham expira et mourut, après une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
9And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre;
9Isaac 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.
10Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.
10C’est le champ qu’Abraham avait acquis des fils de Heth. Là furent enterrés Abraham et Sara, sa femme.
11And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.
11Après la mort d’Abraham, Dieu bénit Isaac, son fils. Il habitait près du puits de Lachaï-roï.
12These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara’s servant, bore unto him:
12Voici la postérité d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, qu’Agar, l’Égyptienne, servante de Sara, avait enfanté à Abraham.
13And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.
13Voici les noms des fils d’Ismaël, par leurs noms, selon leurs générations: Nebajoth, premier-né d’Ismaël, Kédar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
14Mischma, Duma, Massa,
15Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
15Hadad, Théma, Jethur, Naphisch et Kedma.
16These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes.
16Ce 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.
17And the years of Ismael’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people.
17Et voici les années de la vie d’Ismaël: cent trente-sept ans. Il expira et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
18And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.
18Ses 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.
19These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:
19Voici la postérité d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham.
20Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
20Abraham 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.
21And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
21Isaac implora l’Éternel pour sa femme, car elle était stérile, et l’Éternel l’exauça: Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
22But the children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord.
22Les enfants se heurtaient dans son sein; et elle dit: S’il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? Elle alla consulter l’Éternel.
23And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
23Et 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.
24And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
24Les jours où elle devait accoucher s’accomplirent; et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son ventre.
25He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.
25Le premier sortit entièrement roux, comme un manteau de poil; et on lui donna le nom d’Ésaü.
26Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
26Ensuite 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.
27And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
27Ces enfants grandirent. Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob fut un homme tranquille, qui restait sous les tentes.
28Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
28Isaac aimait Ésaü, parce qu’il mangeait du gibier; et Rebecca aimait Jacob.
29And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
29Comme Jacob faisait cuire un potage, Ésaü revint des champs, accablé de fatigue.
30Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
30Et 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.
31And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
31Jacob dit: Vends-moi aujourd’hui ton droit d’aînesse.
32He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?
32Ésaü répondit: Voici, je m’en vais mourir; à quoi me sert ce droit d’aînesse?
33Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
33Et Jacob dit: Jure-le moi d’abord. Il le lui jura, et il vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.
34And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.
34Alors 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.
