Genesis 21
|
L`Éternel se souvint de ce qu`il avait dit à Sara, et l`Éternel accomplit pour Sara ce qu`il avait promis. | And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did unto Sarah as he had spoken. |
Sara devint enceinte, et elle enfanta un fils à Abraham dans sa vieillesse, au temps fixé dont Dieu lui avait parlé. | And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. |
Abraham donna le nom d`Isaac au fils qui lui était né, que Sara lui avait enfanté. | And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. |
Abraham circoncit son fils Isaac, âgé de huit jours, comme Dieu le lui avait ordonné. | And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. |
Abraham était âgé de cent ans, à la naissance d`Isaac, son fils. | And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. |
Et Sara dit: Dieu m`a fait un sujet de rire; quiconque l`apprendra rira de moi. | And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh. Every one that heareth will laugh with me. |
Elle ajouta: Qui aurait dit à Abraham: Sara allaitera des enfants? Cependant je lui ai enfanté un fils dans sa vieillesse. | And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? For I have borne him a son in his old age. |
L`enfant grandit, et fut sevré; et Abraham fit un grand festin le jour où Isaac fut sevré. | And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. |
Sara vit rire le fils qu`Agar, l`Égyptienne, avait enfanté à Abraham; | And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, mocking. |
et elle dit à Abraham: Chasse cette servante et son fils, car le fils de cette servante n`héritera pas avec mon fils, avec Isaac. | Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son. For the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. |
Cette parole déplut fort aux yeux d`Abraham, à cause de son fils. | And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son. |
Mais Dieu dit à Abraham: Que cela ne déplaise pas à tes yeux, à cause de l`enfant et de ta servante. Accorde à Sara tout ce qu`elle te demandera; car c`est d`Isaac que sortira une postérité qui te sera propre. | And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid. In all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice. For in Isaac shall thy seed be called. |
Je ferai aussi une nation du fils de ta servante; car il est ta postérité. | And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. |
Abraham se leva de bon matin; il prit du pain et une outre d`eau, qu`il donna à Agar et plaça sur son épaule; il lui remit aussi l`enfant, et la renvoya. Elle s`en alla, et s`égara dans le désert de Beer Schéba. | And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and [gave her] the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. |
Quand l`eau de l`outre fut épuisée, elle laissa l`enfant sous un des arbrisseaux, | And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. |
et alla s`asseoir vis-à-vis, à une portée d`arc; car elle disait: Que je ne voie pas mourir mon enfant! Elle s`assit donc vis-à-vis de lui, éleva la voix et pleura. | And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot. For she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. |
Dieu entendit la voix de l`enfant; et l`ange de Dieu appela du ciel Agar, et lui dit: Qu`as-tu, Agar? Ne crains point, car Dieu a entendu la voix de l`enfant dans le lieu où il est. | And God heard the voice of the lad. And the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not. For God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. |
Lève-toi, prends l`enfant, saisis-le de ta main; car je ferai de lui une grande nation. | Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand. For I will make him a great nation. |
Et Dieu lui ouvrit les yeux, et elle vit un puits d`eau; elle alla remplir d`eau l`outre, et donna à boire à l`enfant. | And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. |
Dieu fut avec l`enfant, qui grandit, habita dans le désert, et devint tireur d`arc. | And God was with the lad, and he grew. And he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer. |
Il habita dans le désert de Paran, et sa mère lui prit une femme du pays d`Égypte. | And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. |
En ce temps-là, Abimélec, accompagné de Picol, chef de son armée, parla ainsi à Abraham: Dieu est avec toi dans tout ce que tu fais. | And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest. |
Jure-moi maintenant ici, par le nom de Dieu, que tu ne tromperas ni moi, ni mes enfants, ni mes petits-enfants, et que tu auras pour moi et le pays où tu séjournes la même bienveillance que j`ai eue pour toi. | Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. |
Abraham dit: Je le jurerai. | And Abraham said, I will swear. |
Mais Abraham fit des reproches à Abimélec, au sujet d`un puits d`eau, dont s`étaient emparés de force les serviteurs d`Abimélec. | And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. |
Abimélec répondit: J`ignore qui a fait cette chose-là; tu ne m`en as point informé, et moi, je ne l`apprends qu`aujourd`hui. | And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing. Neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day. |
Et Abraham prit des brebis et des boeufs, qu`il donna à Abimélec; et ils firent tous deux alliance. | And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech. And they two made a covenant. |
Abraham mit à part sept jeunes brebis. | And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. |
Et Abimélec dit à Abraham: Qu`est-ce que ces sept jeunes brebis, que tu as mises à part? | And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? |
Il répondit: Tu accepteras de ma main ces sept brebis, afin que cela me serve de témoignage que j`ai creusé ce puits. | And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. |
C`est pourquoi on appelle ce lieu Beer Schéba; car c`est là qu`ils jurèrent l`un et l`autre. | Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba. Because there they sware both of them. |
Ils firent donc alliance à Beer Schéba. Après quoi, Abimélec se leva, avec Picol, chef de son armée; et ils retournèrent au pays des Philistins. | So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines. |
Abraham planta des tamariscs à Beer Schéba; et là il invoqua le nom de l`Éternel, Dieu de l`éternité. | And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Everlasting God. |
Abraham séjourna longtemps dans le pays des Philistins. | And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days. |
