JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Abraham prit encore une femme, qui s'appelait Qetura.	1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 Elle lui enfanta Zimrân, Yoqshân, Medân, Madiân, Yishbaq etShuah. --	2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Yoqshân engendra Sheba et Dedân, et les fils de Dedân furent les Ashshurites, les Letushim et lesLéummim. --	3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 Fils de Madiân: Epha, Epher, Hanok, Abida, Eldaa. Tous ceux-là sont fils de Qetura.	4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 Abraham donna tous ses biens à Isaac.	5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 Quant aux fils de ses concubines, Abraham leur fit des présents et les envoya, de son vivant, loinde son fils Isaac, à l'est, au pays d'Orient.	6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7 Voici la durée de la vie d'Abraham: 175 ans.	7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 Puis Abraham expira, il mourut dans une vieillesse heureuse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il fut réunià sa parenté.	8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9 Isaac et Ismaël, ses fils, l'enterrèrent dans la grotte de Makpéla, dans le champ d'Ephrôn fils deCohar, le Hittite, qui est vis-à-vis de Mambré.	9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10 C'est le champ qu'Abraham avait acheté aux fils de Hèt; là furent enterrés Abraham et sa femmeSara.	10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 Après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac, et Isaac habita près du puits de Lahaï-Roï.	11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
12 Voici la descendance d'Ismaël, le fils d'Abraham, que lui enfanta Agar, la servante égyptienne deSara.	12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 Voici les noms des fils d'Ismaël, selon leurs noms et leur lignée: le premier-né d'Ismaël Nebayot,puis Qédar, Adbéel, Mibsam,	13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Duma, Massa,	14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadad, Téma, Yetur, Naphish et Qédma.	15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 Ce sont là les fils d'Ismaël et tels sont leurs noms, d'après leurs douars et leurs camps, douze chefsd'autant de clans.	16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
17 Voici la durée de la vie d'Ismaël: 137 ans. Puis il expira; il mourut et il fut réuni à sa parenté.	17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
18 Il habita depuis Havila jusqu'à Shur, qui est à l'est de l'Egypte, en allant vers l'Assyrie. Il s'étaitétabli à la face de tous ses frères.	18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 Voici l'histoire d'Isaac fils d'Abraham. Abraham engendra Isaac.	19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 Isaac avait 40 ans lorsqu'il épousa Rébecca, fille de Bétuel, l'Araméen de Paddân-Aram, et sœurde Laban l'Araméen.	20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 Isaac implora Yahvé pour sa femme, car elle était stérile: Yahvé l'exauça et sa femme Rébeccadevint enceinte.	21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Or les enfants se heurtaient en elle et elle dit: "S'il en est ainsi, à quoi bon vivre?" Elle alla doncconsulter Yahvé,	22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
23 et Yahvé lui dit: "Il y a deux nations en ton sein, deux peuples, issus de toi, se sépareront, unpeuple dominera un peuple, l'aîné servira le cadet."	23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Quand vint le temps de ses couches, voici qu'elle portait des jumeaux.	24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Le premier sortit: il était roux et tout entier comme un manteau de poils; on l'appela Esaü.	25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 Ensuite sortit son frère et sa main tenait le talon d'Esaü; on l'appela Jacob. Isaac avait 60 ans àleur naissance.	26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 Les garçons grandirent: Esaü devint un habile chasseur, courant la steppe, Jacob était un hommetranquille, demeurant sous les tentes.	27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 Isaac préférait Esaü car le gibier était à son goût, mais Rébecca préférait Jacob.	28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Une fois, Jacob prépara un potage et Esaü revint de la campagne, épuisé.	29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 Esaü dit à Jacob: "Laisse-moi avaler ce roux, ce roux-là; je suis épuisé" -- C'est pourquoi on l'aappelé Edom. --	30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 Jacob dit: "Vends-moi d'abord ton droit d'aînesse.	31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 Esaü répondit: "Voici que je vais mourir, à quoi me servira le droit d'aînesse?"	32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 Jacob reprit: "Prête-moi d'abord serment"; il lui prêta serment et vendit son droit d'aînesse àJacob.	33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Alors Jacob lui donna du pain et du potage de lentilles, il mangea et but, se leva et partit. C'esttout le cas qu'Esaü fit du droit d'aînesse.	34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
