Genesis 35

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	JERUSALEM
1 About this time, God said to Jacob, “Arise and go up to Bethel, and live there, and make an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”	1 Dieu dit à Jacob: "Debout! Monte à Béthel et fixe-toi là-bas. Tu y feras un autel au Dieu qui t'estapparu lorsque tu fuyais la présence de ton frère Esaü."
2 In truth, Jacob, having called together all his house, said: “Cast away the foreign gods that are in your midst and be cleansed, and also change your garments.	2 Jacob dit à sa famille et à tous ceux qui étaient avec lui:"Otez les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieude vous, purifiez-vous et changez vos vêtements.
3 Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, so that we may make an altar there to God, who heeded me in the day of my tribulation, and who accompanied me on my journey.”	3 Partons et montons à Béthel! J'y ferai un autel au Dieu qui m'a exaucé lorsque j'étais dansl'angoisse et m'a assisté dans le voyage que j'ai fait."
4 Therefore, they gave him all the foreign gods which they had, and the earrings which were in their ears. And then he buried them under the terebinth tree, which is beyond the city of Shechem.	4 Ils donnèrent à Jacob tous les dieux étrangers qu'ils possédaient et les anneaux qu'ils portaient auxoreilles, et Jacob les enfouit sous le chêne qui est près de Sichem.
5 And when they had set out, the terror of God invaded all the surrounding cities, and they dared not pursue them as they withdrew.	5 Ils levèrent le camp et une terreur divine tomba sur les villes d'alentour: on ne poursuivit pas lesfils de Jacob.
6 And so, Jacob arrived at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, also named Bethel: he and all the people with him.	6 Jacob arriva à Luz, au pays de Canaan, -- c'est Béthel, -- lui et tous les gens qu'il avait.
7 And he built an altar there, and he called the name of that place, ‘House of God.’ For there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.	7 Là, il construisit un autel et appela le lieu El-Béthel, car Dieu s'y était révélé à lui lorsqu'il fuyait laprésence de son frère.
8 About the same time, Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, died, and she was buried at the base of Bethel, under an oak tree. And the name of that place was called, ‘Oak of Weeping.’	8 Alors mourut Débora, la nourrice de Rébecca, et elle fut ensevelie au-dessous de Béthel, sous lechêne; aussi l'appela-t-on le Chêne-des-Pleurs.
9 Then God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,	9 Dieu apparut encore à Jacob, à son retour de Paddân-Aram, et il le bénit.
10 saying: “You will no longer be called Jacob, for your name shall be Israel.” And he called him Israel,	10 Dieu lui dit: "Ton nom est Jacob, mais on ne t'appellera plus Jacob, ton nom sera Israël." Aussil'appela-t-on Israël.
11 and he said to him: “I am Almighty God: increase and multiply. Tribes and peoples of nations will be from you, and kings will go forth from your loins.	11 Dieu lui dit: "Je suis El Shaddaï. Sois fécond et multiplie. Une nation, une assemblée de nationsnaîtra de toi et des rois sortiront de tes reins.
12 And the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your offspring after you.”	12 Le pays que j'ai donné à Abraham et à Isaac, je te le donne, et à ta postérité après toi je donneraice pays."
13 And he withdrew from him.	13 Et Dieu remonta d'auprès de lui.
14 In truth, he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him, pouring out libations over it, and pouring oil,	14 Jacob dressa une stèle à l'endroit où il lui avait parlé, une stèle de pierre, sur laquelle il fit unelibation et versa de l'huile.
15 and he called the name of that place, ‘Bethel.’	15 Et Jacob donna le nom de Béthel au lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé.
16 Then, departing from there, he arrived in springtime at the land that leads to Ephrath. And there, when Rachel was giving birth,	16 Ils partirent de Béthel. Il restait un bout de chemin pour arriver à Ephrata quand Rachel accoucha.Ses couches furent pénibles
17 because it was a difficult birth, she began to be in danger. And the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you will have this son also.”	17 et, comme elle accouchait difficilement, la sage-femme lui dit: "Rassure-toi, c'est encore un filsque tu as!"
18 Then, when her life was departing because of the pain, and death was now imminent, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain. Yet truly, his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand.	18 Au moment de rendre l'âme, car elle se mourait, elle le nomma Ben-Oni, mais son père l'appelaBenjamin.
19 And so Rachel died, and she was buried in the way that leads to Ephrath: this place is Bethlehem.	19 Rachel mourut et fut enterrée sur le chemin d'Ephrata -- c'est Bethléem.
20 And Jacob erected a monument over her sepulcher. This is the monument to Rachel’s tomb, even to the present day.	20 Jacob dressa une stèle sur son tombeau; c'est la stèle du tombeau de Rachel, qui existe encoreaujourd'hui.
21 Departing from there, he pitched his tent beyond the Tower of the Flock.	21 Israël partit et planta sa tente au-delà de Migdal-Edèr.
22 And when he was living in that region, Reuben went out, and he slept with Bilhah the concubine of his father, which was not such a small matter as to be hidden from him. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.	22 Pendant qu'Israël habitait dans cette région, Ruben alla coucher avec Bilha, la concubine de sonpère, et Israël l'apprit. Les fils de Jacob furent au nombre de douze.
23 The sons of Leah: Reuben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.	23 Les fils de Léa: le premier-né de Jacob, Ruben, puis Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issachar et Zabulon.
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.	24 Les fils de Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin.
25 The sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel: Dan and Naphtali.	25 Les fils de Bilha, la servante de Rachel: Dan et Nephtali.
26 The sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.	26 Les fils de Zilpa, la servante de Léa: Gad et Asher. Tels sontles fils qui furent enfantés à Jacob enPaddân-Aram.
27 And then he went to his father Isaac in Mamre, the city of Arba: this place is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.	27 Jacob arriva chez son père Isaac, à Mambré, à Qiryat-Arba, -- c'est Hébron, -- où séjournèrentAbraham et Isaac.
28 And the days of Isaac were completed: one hundred and eighty years.	28 La durée de la vie d'Isaac fut de 180 ans,
29 And being consumed by old age, he died. And he was placed with his people, being old and full of days. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.	29 et Isaac expira. Il mourut et il fut réuni à sa parenté, âgé et rassasié de jours; ses fils Esaü et Jacobl'ensevelirent.
