| 1 | Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. | Abraham prit encore une femme, nommée Cétura. |
| 2 | And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. | Et elle lui enfanta Zamran, Jecsan, Madan, Madian, Jesboc et Sué. - Jecsan engendra Saba et Dadan ; |
| 3 | And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. | les fils de Dadan furent les Assurim, les Latusim et les Laomim. |
| 4 | And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. | - Les fils de Madian furent Epha, Opher, Hénoch, Abida et Eldaa. - Ce sont là tous les fils de Cétura. |
| 5 | And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. | Abraham donna tous ses biens à Isaac : |
| 6 | But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. | Quant aux fils de ses concubines, il leur donna des présents, et il les envoya de son vivant loin de son fils Isaac, à l'orient, au pays d'Orient. |
| 7 | And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. | Voici les jours des années de la vie d'Abraham : il vécut cent soixante-quinze ans. |
| 8 | Then 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. | Abraham expira et mourut dans une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut réuni à son peuple. |
| 9 | And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; | Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l'enterrèrent dans la caverne de Macpéla, dans le champ d'Ephron, fils de Séor le Héthéen, qui est vis-à-vis de Mambré : |
| 10 | The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. | c'est le champ qu'Abraham avait acheté des fils de Heth. Là fut enterré Abraham, avec Sara, sa femme. |
| 11 | And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi. | Après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit Isaac son fils; et Isaac habitait près du puits de Lachaï-Roï. |
| 12 | Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: | Voici l'histoire d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, qu'avait enfanté à Abraham Agar l'Egyptienne, servante de Sara. |
| 13 | And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, | Voici les noms des fils d'Ismaël, selon les noms de leurs postérités : premier-né d'Ismaël, Nebaïoth ; |
| 14 | And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, | puis Cédar, Acibéel, Mabsam, Masma, Duma, Massa, Hadad, |
| 15 | Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: | Théma, Jéthur, Naphis et Cedma. |
| 16 | These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. | Ce sont là les fils d'Ismaël, ce sont là leurs noms, selon leurs villages et leurs campements : ce furent les douze chefs de leurs tribus. |
| 17 | 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. | Voici les années de la vie d'Ismaël : cent trente-sept ans ; puis il expira et mourut et il fut réuni à son peuple. |
| 18 | And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren. | Ses fils habitèrent depuis Hévila jusqu'à Sur qui est en face de l'Egypte, dans la direction de l'Assyrie. Il s'étendit en face de tous ses frères. |
| 19 | And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: | Voici l'histoire d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. |
| 20 | And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. | Abraham engendra Isaac. Isaac était âgé de quarante ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bathuel l'Araméen, de Paddan-Aram, et sœur de Laban, l'Araméen. |
| 21 | And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. | Isaac implora Yahweh au sujet de sa femme, car elle était stérile ; Yahweh l'exauça et Rebecca, sa femme, conçut. |
| 22 | And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. | Les enfants se heurtaient dans son sein, et elle dit : "S'il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte ?" |
| 23 | And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. | Elle alla consulter Yahweh; et Yahweh lui dit."Deux nations sont dans ton sein ; deux peuples, au sortir de tes entrailles, se sépareront; un peuple l'emportera sur l'autre, et le plus grand servira le plus petit." |
| 24 | And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. | Le temps où elle devait enfanter arriva, et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son sein. |
| 25 | And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. | Celui qui sortit le premier était roux, tout entier comme un manteau de poil, et ils l'appelèrent Esaü; |
| 26 | And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. | ensuite sortit son frère, tenant dans sa main le talon d'Esaü, et on le nomma Jacob. Isaac était âgé de soixante ans quand ils naquirent. |
| 27 | And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. | Ces enfants grandirent. Esaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob était un homme paisible, demeurant sous la tente. |
| 28 | And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. | Isaac prit en affection Esaü, parce qu'il aimait la venaison, et l'affection de Rebecca était polir Jacob. |
| 29 | And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: | Comme Jacob faisait un potage, Esaü arriva des champs, accablé de fatigue. |
| 30 | 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. | Esaü dit à Jacob : "Laisse-moi donc manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué." |
| 31 | And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. | - C'est pour cela qu'on a donné à Esaü le nom d'Edom. |
| 32 | And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? | - Jacob dit : "Vends-moi d'abord ton droit d'aînesse."Esaü répondit : "Voici je m'en vais mourir ; que me servira mon droit d'aînesse ?" |
| 33 | And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. | Et Jacob dit : "Jure-le-moi d'abord."Il jura et vendit son droit d'aînesse à Jacob. |
| 34 | Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. | Alors Jacob donna à Esaü du pain et du potage de lentilles ; celui-ci mangea et but ; puis il se leva et s'en alla. C'est ainsi qu'Esaü méprisa le droit d'aînesse. |
