Genèse 35

1 Dieu dit à Jacob: Lève-toi, monte à Béthel, et demeures-y; là, tu dresseras un autel au Dieu qui t’apparut, lorsque tu fuyais Ésaü, ton frère.

And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

2 Jacob dit à sa maison et à tous ceux qui étaient avec lui: Otez les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieu de vous, purifiez-vous, et changez de vêtements.

And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.

3 Nous nous lèverons, et nous monterons à Béthel; là, je dresserai un autel au Dieu qui m’a exaucé dans le jour de ma détresse, et qui a été avec moi pendant le voyage que j’ai fait.

And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an alter to God who hearkened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.

4 Ils donnèrent à Jacob tous les dieux étrangers qui étaient entre leurs mains, et les anneaux qui étaient à leurs oreilles. Jacob les enfouit sous le térébinthe qui est près de Sichem.

And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.

5 Ensuite ils partirent. La terreur de Dieu se répandit sur les villes qui les entouraient, et l’on ne poursuivit point les fils de Jacob.

So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.

6 Jacob arriva, lui et tous ceux qui étaient avec lui, à Luz, qui est Béthel, dans le pays de Canaan.

And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.

7 Il bâtit là un autel, et il appela ce lieu El-Béthel; car c’est là que Dieu s’était révélé à lui lorsqu’il fuyait son frère.

And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.

8 Débora, nourrice de Rebecca, mourut; et elle fut enterrée au-dessous de Béthel, sous le chêne auquel on a donné le nom de chêne des pleurs.

And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.

9 Dieu apparut encore à Jacob, après son retour de Paddan-Aram, et il le bénit.

And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.

10 Dieu lui dit: Ton nom est Jacob; tu ne seras plus appelé Jacob, mais ton nom sera Israël. Et il lui donna le nom d’Israël.

And God said to him, Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; and he called his name Israel.

11 Dieu lui dit: Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant. Sois fécond, et multiplie: une nation et une multitude de nations naîtront de toi, et des rois sortiront de tes reins.

And God said to him, I am thy God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.

12 Je te donnerai le pays que j’ai donné à Abraham et à Isaac, et je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité après toi.

And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to thee; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to thy seed after thee.

13 Dieu s’éleva au-dessus de lui, dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé.

And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.

14 Et Jacob dressa un monument dans le lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé, un monument de pierres, sur lequel il fit une libation et versa de l’huile.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.

15 Jacob donna le nom de Béthel au lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé.

And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.

16 Ils partirent de Béthel; et il y avait encore une certaine distance jusqu’à Éphrata, lorsque Rachel accoucha. Elle eut un accouchement pénible;

[[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew nigh to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labour.

17 et pendant les douleurs de l’enfantement, la sage-femme lui dit: Ne crains point, car tu as encore un fils!

And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for thou shalt also have this son.

18 Et comme elle allait rendre l’âme, car elle était mourante, elle lui donna le nom de Ben-Oni; mais le père l’appela Benjamin.

And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.

19 Rachel mourut, et elle fut enterrée sur le chemin d’Éphrata, qui est Bethléhem.

So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.

20 Jacob éleva un monument sur son sépulcre; c’est le monument du sépulcre de Rachel, qui existe encore aujourd’hui.

And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.

21 Israël partit; et il dressa sa tente au-delà de Migdal-Éder.

And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.

22 Pendant qu’Israël habitait cette contrée, Ruben alla coucher avec Bilha, concubine de son père. Et Israël l’apprit. Les fils de Jacob étaient au nombre de douze.

And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 Fils de Léa: Ruben, premier-né de Jacob, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar et Zabulon.

The sons of Lea, the first-born of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.

25 Fils de Bilha, servante de Rachel: Dan et Nephthali.

26 Fils de Zilpa, servante de Léa: Gad et Aser. Ce sont là les fils de Jacob, qui lui naquirent à Paddan-Aram.

And the sons of Zelpha, the hand-maid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.

27 Jacob arriva auprès d’Isaac, son père, à Mamré, à Kirjath-Arba, qui est Hébron, où avaient séjourné Abraham et Isaac.

And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.

28 Les jours d’Isaac furent de cent quatre-vingts ans.

And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.

29 Il expira et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple, âgé et rassasié de jours, et Ésaü et Jacob, ses fils, l’enterrèrent.

And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
