Louis Segond 1910
1Now the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
1L’Éternel dit à Abram: Vat’en de ton pays, de ta patrie, et de la maison de ton père, dans le pays que je te montrerai.
2I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
2Je ferai de toi une grande nation, et je te bénirai; je rendrai ton nom grand, et tu seras une source de bénédiction.
3I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
3Je bénirai ceux qui te béniront, et je maudirai ceux qui te maudiront; et toutes les familles de la terre seront bénies en toi.
4So Abram went, as the LORD had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
4Abram partit, comme l’Éternel le lui avait dit, et Lot partit avec lui. Abram était âgé de soixante-quinze ans, lorsqu’il sortit de Charan.
5Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.
5Abram prit Saraï, sa femme, et Lot, fils de son frère, avec tous les biens qu’ils possédaient et les serviteurs qu’ils avaient acquis à Charan. Ils partirent pour aller dans le pays de Canaan, et ils arrivèrent au pays de Canaan.
6Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
6Abram parcourut le pays jusqu’au lieu nommé Sichem, jusqu’aux chênes de Moré. Les Cananéens étaient alors dans le pays.
7The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
7L’Éternel apparut à Abram, et dit: Je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité. Et Abram bâtit là un autel à l’Éternel, qui lui était apparu.
8He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the LORD’s name.
8Il se transporta de là vers la montagne, à l’orient de Béthel, et il dressa ses tentes, ayant Béthel à l’occident et Aï à l’orient. Il bâtit encore là un autel à l’Éternel, et il invoqua le nom de l’Éternel.
9Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
9Abram continua ses marches, en s’avançant vers le midi.
10There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
10Il y eut une famine dans le pays; et Abram descendit en Égypte pour y séjourner, car la famine était grande dans le pays.
11When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
11Comme il était près d’entrer en Égypte, il dit à Saraï, sa femme: Voici, je sais que tu es une femme belle de figure.
12It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
12Quand les Égyptiens te verront, ils diront: C’est sa femme! Et ils me tueront, et te laisseront la vie.
13Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
13Dis, je te prie, que tu es ma sœur, afin que je sois bien traité à cause de toi, et que mon âme vive grâce à toi.
14When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
14Lorsque Abram fut arrivé en Égypte, les Égyptiens virent que la femme était fort belle.
15The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
15Les grands de Pharaon la virent aussi et la vantèrent à Pharaon; et la femme fut emmenée dans la maison de Pharaon.
16He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
16Il traita bien Abram à cause d’elle; et Abram reçut des brebis, des bœufs, des ânes, des serviteurs et des servantes, des ânesses, et des chameaux.
17The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
17Mais l’Éternel frappa de grandes plaies Pharaon et sa maison, au sujet de Saraï, femme d’Abram.
18Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
18Alors Pharaon appela Abram, et dit: Qu’est-ce que tu m’as fait? Pourquoi ne m’as-tu pas déclaré que c’est ta femme?
19Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
19Pourquoi as-tu dit: C’est ma sœur? Aussi l’ai-je prise pour ma femme. Maintenant, voici ta femme, prends-la, et va-t’en!
20Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
20Et Pharaon donna ordre à ses gens de le renvoyer, lui et sa femme, avec tout ce qui lui appartenait.
