And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Voici l'histoire d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.
These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:
20 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.
Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
21 Isaac implora Yahweh au sujet de sa femme, car elle était stérile; Yahweh l'exauça et Rebecca, sa femme, conçut.
And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
22 Les enfants se heurtaient dans son sein, et elle dit: " S'il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? " Elle alla consulter Yahweh;
But the children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord.
23 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. "
And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Le temps où elle devait enfanter arriva, et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son sein.
And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
25 Celui qui sortit le premier était roux, tout entier comme un manteau de poil, et ils l'appelèrent Esaü; ensuite sortit son frère, tenant dans sa main le talon d'Esaü, et on le nomma Jacob.
He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.
26 Isaac était âgé de soixante ans quand ils naquirent.
Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
27 Ces enfants grandirent. Esaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob était un homme paisible, demeurant sous la tente.
And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
28 Isaac prit en affection Esaü, parce qu'il aimait la venaison, et l'affection de Rebecca était pour Jacob.
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 Comme Jacob faisait un potage, Esaü arriva des champs, accablé de fatigue.
And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
30 Esaü dit à Jacob: " Laisse-moi donc manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué. " — C'est pour cela qu'on a donné à Esaü le nom d'Edom. —
Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
31 Jacob dit: " Vends-moi d'abord ton droit d'aînesse. "
And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
32 Esaü répondit: " Voici je m'en vais mourir; que me servira mon droit d'aînesse? "
He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?
33 Et Jacob dit: " Jure-le-moi d'abord. " Il jura et vendit son droit d'aînesse à Jacob.
Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
34 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.
And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.
