Genesis 27

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.	1 Isaac était âgé et ses yeux étaient si affaiblis qu’il ne voyait plus. Il appela Ésaü, son fils aîné, et lui dit: “Mon fils!” Celui-ci répondit: “Me voici.”
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:	2 Isaac dit: “Je suis devenu vieux, et je ne peux pas dire le jour de ma mort.
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;	3 Aussi tu vas prendre tes armes, tes flèches et ton arc, et tu vas sortir dans la campagne pour me rapporter du gibier.
4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.	4 Tu me le prépareras comme je l’aime, tu me l’apporteras pour que je le mange et je te bénirai avant de mourir.”
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.	5 Rébecca écoutait les paroles d’Isaac à son fils Ésaü. Quand Ésaü partit dans la campagne pour chasser et rapporter du gibier,
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,	6 Rébecca dit à son fils Jacob: “Ton père a parlé à ton frère Ésaü, et j’ai tout entendu. Il lui a dit:
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.	7 ‘Apporte-moi du gibier, tu le prépareras, j’en mangerai et je te bénirai devant Yahvé avant de mourir.’
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.	8 Maintenant mon fils, écoute-moi et fais ce que je te dis.
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:	9 Va-t’en au troupeau; tu prendras deux beaux chevreaux et j’en ferai pour ton père un repas comme il aime.
10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.	10 Tu le lui porteras, il en mangera et il te bénira avant de mourir.”
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:	11 Jacob répondit à sa mère Rébecca: “Mais mon frère Ésaü est un homme velu, et moi je n’ai pas de poil!
12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.	12 Si mon père me touche, il verra que je suis un malhonnête, et je m’attirerai une malédiction, non une bénédiction.”
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.	13 Mais sa mère lui dit: “La malédiction sera pour moi, mon fils. Écoute seulement ce que je te dis, et va chercher les deux chevreaux.”
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.	14 Il alla donc les prendre au troupeau et les apporta à sa mère, laquelle prépara un repas comme l’aimait son père.
15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:	15 Rébecca prit alors les meilleurs habits de son fils aîné Ésaü, et de ces habits qu’elle gardait dans la maison, elle habilla son plus jeune fils Jacob.
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:	16 Puis elle lui recouvrit les mains et la partie sans poil de son cou avec les peaux des chevreaux.
17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.	17 Elle mit ensuite dans les mains de son fils Jacob le repas et le pain qu’elle avait préparés.
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?	18 Jacob s’approcha de son père et lui dit: “Mon père!” Il répondit: “Je suis là. Qui es-tu mon fils?”
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.	19 Jacob dit à son père: “Je suis Ésaü, ton premier-né. J’ai fait comme tu me l’as demandé. Mange donc de mon gibier, et tu me béniras.”
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.	20 Isaac dit à son fils: “Tu as trouvé bien vite, mon fils!” Il répondit: “C’est que Yahvé ton Dieu m’a fait faire une bonne rencontre.”
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.	21 Isaac dit à Jacob: “Avance-toi donc que je te touche, mon fils, pour savoir si c’est toi mon fils Ésaü, ou non.”
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.	22 Jacob s’avança vers son père Isaac. Celui-ci le toucha et dit: “La voix est la voix de Jacob, mais les mains sont les mains d’Ésaü.”
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.	23 Il ne le reconnut pas avec ses mains velues comme les mains de son frère Ésaü, de sorte qu’il le bénit.
24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.	24 Il lui demanda: “C’est bien toi, mon fils Ésaü?” Jacob répondit: “C’est moi.”
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.	25 Son père lui dit: “Sers-moi donc, je veux manger du gibier de mon fils, et ensuite je te bénirai.” Jacob servit son père, qui mangea, puis il lui apporta du vin, et il but.
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.	26 Alors son père Isaac lui dit: “Avance-toi et embrasse-moi, mon fils.”
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:	27 Jacob s’avança et embrassa Isaac. Celui-ci respira la bonne odeur de ses habits et il lui donna cette bénédiction: “Cette odeur de mon fils est celle d’un champ que Yahvé a béni.
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:	28 Que Dieu te donne la rosée du ciel et te réserve les terres grasses, qu’il te donne abondance de blé et de vin.
29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.	29 Que des peuples te servent, que des nations se prosternent devant toi. Sois le chef de famille de tes frères et que les fils de ta mère s’inclinent devant toi. Maudits soient ceux qui te maudiront, bénis soient ceux qui te béniront!”
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.	30 Isaac venait tout juste de bénir Jacob, et Jacob quittait à peine son père Isaac, lorsque son frère Ésaü rentra de la chasse.
31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.	31 Il prépara lui aussi un repas et l’apporta à son père en lui disant: “Mon père, lève-toi et mange du gibier de ton fils, ensuite tu me béniras.”
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.	32 Son père demanda: “Qui es-tu?” Il répondit: “Je suis ton fils premier-né, Ésaü.”
33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.	33 Isaac fut secoué d’un grand tremblement et dit: “Qui est donc celui qui a chassé du gibier et m’en a apporté? J’ai mangé de tout avant que tu n’arrives et je l’ai béni: oui, il a la bénédiction!”
34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.	34 Lorsque Ésaü entendit les paroles de son père, il poussa des cris amers; il dit à son père: “Bénis-moi aussi, mon père!”
35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.	35 Isaac lui dit: “Ton frère est venu par ruse et il a volé ta bénédiction.”
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?	36 Ésaü répondit: “On a eu raison de l’appeler Jacob, car il m’a supplanté par deux fois. Il m’a déjà pris mon droit d’aînesse, et maintenant il me prend la bénédiction.” Il ajouta: “Ne m’as-tu pas réservé une bénédiction?”
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?	37 Isaac répondit à Ésaü: “Regarde, j’ai fait de lui ton chef de famille, et je lui ai donné tous ses frères pour serviteurs. Je l’ai pourvu de blé et de vin. Que puis-je encore pour toi, mon fils?”
38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.	38 Ésaü dit à son père: “N’aurais-tu donc qu’une seule bénédiction? Bénis-moi aussi mon père!” Ésaü pleurait, poussait des cris.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;	39 Alors Isaac, son père, déclara: “Tu auras ta demeure loin des terres grasses, loin de la rosée du ciel.
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.	40 Tu vivras de ton épée et tu serviras ton frère, mais lorsque tu le voudras, tu secoueras son joug de dessus ton cou.”
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.	41 Ésaü maintenant détestait Jacob à cause de la bénédiction que lui avait donnée son père. Il se dit en lui-même: “On fera bientôt le deuil de mon père, alors je tuerai mon frère Jacob.”
42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.	42 On rapporta à Rébecca ces paroles de son fils aîné, Ésaü. Elle envoya donc chercher Jacob, son plus jeune fils, et lui dit: “Ton frère Ésaü a décidé de se venger de toi et de te tuer.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;	43 Fais donc ce que je te dis, mon fils: il te faut partir et te réfugier chez mon frère Laban à Harrân.
44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;	44 Tu resteras chez lui quelque temps, jusqu’à ce que passe la fureur de ton frère.
45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?	45 Quand la colère de ton frère se sera détournée de toi et qu’il aura oublié ce que tu lui as fait, je t’enverrai chercher là-bas. Pourquoi serais-je privée de vous deux en un même jour?”
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?	46 Rébecca dit à Isaac: “Ces filles de Heth m’enlèvent le goût de vivre! Si Jacob aussi devait épouser une fille de Heth, une fille d’ici, je préférerais mourir.”
