Genesis 28
|
| Isaac appela Jacob, le bénit, et lui donna cet ordre: Tu ne prendras pas une femme parmi les filles de Canaan. | Then Isaac sent for Jacob, and blessing him, said, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan; |
| Lève-toi, va à Paddan Aram, à la maison de Bethuel, père de ta mère, et prends-y une femme d`entre les filles de Laban, frère de ta mère. | But go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father, and there get yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother. |
| Que le Dieu tout puissant te bénisse, te rende fécond et te multiplie, afin que tu deviennes une multitude de peuples! | And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples. |
| Qu`il te donne la bénédiction d`Abraham, à toi et à ta postérité avec toi, afin que tu possèdes le pays où tu habites comme étranger, et qu`il a donné à Abraham! | And may God give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed, so that the land of your wanderings, which God gave to Abraham, may be your heritage. |
| Et Isaac fit partir Jacob, qui s`en alla à Paddan Aram, auprès de Laban, fils de Bethuel, l`Araméen, frère de Rebecca, mère de Jacob et d`Ésaü. | So Isaac sent Jacob away: and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau. |
| Ésaü vit qu`Isaac avait béni Jacob, et qu`il l`avait envoyé à Paddan Aram pour y prendre une femme, et qu`en le bénissant il lui avait donné cet ordre: Tu ne prendras pas une femme parmi les filles de Canaan. | So when Esau saw that Isaac had given Jacob his blessing, and sent him away to Paddan-aram to get a wife for himself there, blessing him and saying to him, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan; |
| Il vit que Jacob avait obéi à son père et à sa mère, et qu`il était parti pour Paddan Aram. | And that Jacob had done as his father and mother said and had gone to Paddan-aram; |
| Ésaü comprit ainsi que les filles de Canaan déplaisaient à Isaac, son père. | It was clear to Esau that his father had no love for the women of Canaan, |
| Et Ésaü s`en alla vers Ismaël. Il prit pour femme, outre les femmes qu`il avait, Mahalath, fille d`Ismaël, fils d`Abraham, et soeur de Nebajoth. | So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had. |
| Jacob partit de Beer Schéba, et s`en alla à Charan. | So Jacob went out from Beer-sheba to go to Haran. |
| Il arriva dans un lieu où il passa la nuit; car le soleil était couché. Il y prit une pierre, dont il fit son chevet, et il se coucha dans ce lieu-là. | And coming to a certain place, he made it his resting-place for the night, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones which were there, and putting it under his head he went to sleep in that place. |
| Il eut un songe. Et voici, une échelle était appuyée sur la terre, et son sommet touchait au ciel. Et voici, les anges de Dieu montaient et descendaient par cette échelle. | And he had a dream, and in his dream he saw steps stretching from earth to heaven, and the angels of God were going up and down on them. |
| Et voici, l`Éternel se tenait au-dessus d`elle; et il dit: Je suis l`Éternel, le Dieu d`Abraham, ton père, et le Dieu d`Isaac. La terre sur laquelle tu es couché, je la donnerai à toi et à ta postérité. | And he saw the Lord by his side, saying, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: I will give to you and to your seed this land on which you are sleeping. |
| Ta postérité sera comme la poussière de la terre; tu t`étendras à l`occident et à l`orient, au septentrion et au midi; et toutes les familles de la terre seront bénies en toi et en ta postérité. | Your seed will be like the dust of the earth, covering all the land to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south: you and your seed will be a name of blessing to all the families of the earth. |
| Voici, je suis avec toi, je te garderai partout où tu iras, et je te ramènerai dans ce pays; car je ne t`abandonnerai point, que je n`aie exécuté ce que je te dis. | And truly, I will be with you, and will keep you wherever you go, guiding you back again to this land; and I will not give you up till I have done what I have said to you. |
| Jacob s`éveilla de son sommeil et il dit: Certainement, l`Éternel est en ce lieu, et moi, je ne le savais pas! | And Jacob, awaking from his sleep, said, Truly, the Lord is in this place and I was not conscious of it. |
| Il eut peur, et dit: Que ce lieu est redoutable! C`est ici la maison de Dieu, c`est ici la porte des cieux! | And fear came on him, and he said, This is a holy place; this is nothing less than the house of God and the doorway of heaven. |
| Et Jacob se leva de bon matin; il prit la pierre dont il avait fait son chevet, il la dressa pour monument, et il versa de l`huile sur son sommet. | And early in the morning Jacob took the stone which had been under his head, and put it up as a pillar and put oil on it. |
| Il donna à ce lieu le nom de Béthel; mais la ville s`appelait auparavant Luz. | And he gave that place the name of Beth-el, but before that time the town was named Luz. |
| Jacob fit un voeu, en disant: Si Dieu est avec moi et me garde pendant ce voyage que je fais, s`il me donne du pain à manger et des habits pour me vêtir, | Then Jacob took an oath, and said, If God will be with me, and keep me safe on my journey, and give me food and clothing to put on, |
| et si je retourne en paix à la maison de mon père, alors l`Éternel sera mon Dieu; | So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then I will take the Lord to be my God, |
| cette pierre, que j`ai dressée pour monument, sera la maison de Dieu; et je te donnerai la dîme de tout ce que tu me donneras. | And this stone which I have put up for a pillar will be God's house: and of all you give me, I will give a tenth part to you. |
