1 ¶ And it came to pass after these things that God proved Abraham and said unto him, Abraham; and he said, Behold, here I am.

Après ces choses, Dieu mit Abraham à l'épreuve, et lui dit: Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!

2 A nd he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou dost love, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Dieu dit: Prends ton fils, ton unique, celui que tu aimes, Isaac; va-t'en au pays de Morija, et là offre-le en holocauste sur l'une des montagnes que je te dirai.

3 ¶ And Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his ass and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son, and cut the wood for the burnt offering and rose up and went unto the place of which God had told him.

Abraham se leva de bon matin, sella son âne, et prit avec lui deux serviteurs et son fils Isaac. Il fendit du bois pour l'holocauste, et partit pour aller au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit.

4 T hen on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.

Le troisième jour, Abraham, levant les yeux, vit le lieu de loin.

5 A nd Abraham said unto his young men, Abide here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship and come again to you.

Et Abraham dit à ses serviteurs: Restez ici avec l'âne; moi et le jeune homme, nous irons jusque-là pour adorer, et nous reviendrons auprès de vous.

6 A nd Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it upon Isaac, his son; and he took the fire in his hand and the knife; and they both went together.

Abraham prit le bois pour l'holocauste, le chargea sur son fils Isaac, et porta dans sa main le feu et le couteau. Et il marchèrent tous deux ensemble.

7 T hen Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father and said, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?

Alors Isaac, parlant à Abraham, son père, dit: Mon père! Et il répondit: Me voici, mon fils! Isaac reprit: Voici le feu et le bois; mais où est l'agneau pour l'holocauste?

8 A nd Abraham answered, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering, so they both went together.

Abraham répondit: Mon fils, Dieu se pourvoira lui-même de l'agneau pour l'holocauste. Et ils marchèrent tous deux ensemble.

9 A nd when they came to the place which God had told him of, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

Lorsqu'ils furent arrivés au lieu que Dieu lui avait dit, Abraham y éleva un autel, et rangea le bois. Il lia son fils Isaac, et le mit sur l'autel, par-dessus le bois.

10 A nd Abraham stretched forth his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

Puis Abraham étendit la main, et prit le couteau, pour égorger son fils.

11 ¶ Then the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.

Alors l'ange de l'Éternel l'appela des cieux, et dit: Abraham! Abraham! Et il répondit: Me voici!

12 A nd he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him; for now I know that thou doest fear God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

L'ange dit: N'avance pas ta main sur l'enfant, et ne lui fais rien; car je sais maintenant que tu crains Dieu, et que tu ne m'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique.

13 A nd Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked and beheld behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

Abraham leva les yeux, et vit derrière lui un bélier retenu dans un buisson par les cornes; et Abraham alla prendre le bélier, et l'offrit en holocauste à la place de son fils.

14 A nd Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Shall See (YHWH-jireh). Therefore it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

Abraham donna à ce lieu le nom de Jehova Jiré. C'est pourquoi l'on dit aujourd'hui: A la montagne de l'Éternel il sera pourvu.

15 ¶ And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time

L'ange de l'Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham des cieux,

16 a nd said, By myself I have sworn, said the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son;

et dit: Je le jure par moi-même, parole de l'Éternel! parce que tu as fais cela, et que tu n'as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,

17 t hat in blessing I will bless thee and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gates of his enemies;

je te bénirai et je multiplierai ta postérité, comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta postérité possédera la porte de ses ennemis.

18 a nd in thy seed shall all the Gentiles of the earth be blessed because thou hast hearkened unto my voice.

Toutes les nations de la terre seront bénies en ta postérité, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix.

19 S o Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

Abraham étant retourné vers ses serviteurs, ils se levèrent et s'en allèrent ensemble à Beer Schéba; car Abraham demeurait à Beer Schéba.

20 ¶ And it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she has also born sons unto thy brother Nahor;

Après ces choses, on fit à Abraham un rapport, en disant: Voici, Milca a aussi enfanté des fils à Nachor, ton frère:

21 H uz, his firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram

Uts, son premier-né, Buz, son frère, Kemuel, père d'Aram,

22 a nd Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.

Késed, Hazo, Pildasch, Jidlaph et Bethuel.

23 A nd Bethuel begat Rebekah. Milcah gave birth to these eight unto Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

Bethuel a engendré Rebecca. Ce sont là les huit fils que Milca a enfantés à Nachor, frère d'Abraham.

24 A nd his concubine, whose name was Reumah, also gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Thahash and Maachah.

Sa concubine, nommée Réuma, a aussi enfanté Thébach, Gaham, Tahasch et Maaca.
