19 V oici la postérité d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham.

This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham begot Isaac.

20 A braham engendra Isaac. Isaac était âgé de quarante ans, quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bethuel, l'Araméen, de Paddan Aram, et soeur de Laban, l'Araméen.

Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

21 I saac implora l'Éternel pour sa femme, car elle était stérile, et l'Éternel l'exauça: Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.

Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 L es enfants se heurtaient dans son sein; et elle dit: S'il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? Elle alla consulter l'Éternel.

But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.

23 E t 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 to her: “Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.”

25 L e premier sortit entièrement roux, comme un manteau de poil; et on lui donna le nom d'Ésaü.

And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.

26 E nsuite 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.

Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 C es enfants grandirent. Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob fut un homme tranquille, qui restait sous les tentes.

So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents.

28 I saac aimait Ésaü, parce qu'il mangeait du gibier; et Rebecca aimait Jacob.

And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. Esau Sells His Birthright

29 C omme Jacob faisait cuire un potage, Ésaü revint des champs, accablé de fatigue.

Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary.

30 E t 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, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 J acob dit: Vends-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.

But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”

32 É saü répondit: Voici, je m'en vais mourir; à quoi me sert ce droit d'aînesse?

And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?”

33 E t Jacob dit: Jure-le moi d'abord. Il le lui jura, et il vendit son droit d'aînesse à Jacob.

Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of this day.” So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 A lors 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 stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
