KJV ¹ And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

OST ¹ Or, Jacob demeura au pays où son père avait séjourné, au pays de Canaan.

KJV ² These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.

OST ² Voici l'histoire des descendants de Jacob. Joseph, âgé de dix-sept ans, paissait les troupeaux avec ses frères; et il était jeune berger auprès des fils de Bilha, et auprès des fils de Zilpa, femmes de son père. Et Joseph rapporta à leur père leurs mauvais discours.

KJV ³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.

OST ³ Or, Israël aimait Joseph plus que tous ses autres fils, car c'était le fils de sa vieillesse; et il lui fit une robe de diverses couleurs.

KJV ⁴ And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.

OST ⁴ Mais ses frères, voyant que leur père l'aimait plus que tous ses frères, le haïssaient, et ne pouvaient lui parler sans aigreur.

KJV ⁵ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

OST ⁵ Et Joseph eut un songe, et le fit connaître à ses frères, et ils le haïrent encore plus.

KJV ⁶ And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

OST ⁶ Il leur dit donc: Écoutez, je vous prie, ce songe que j'ai eu.

KJV ⁷ For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

OST ⁷ Voici, nous étions à lier des gerbes au milieu des champs. Et voici, ma gerbe se leva et se tint debout. Et voici, vos gerbes l'environnèrent et se prosternèrent devant ma gerbe.

KJV ⁸ And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

OST ⁸ Alors ses frères lui dirent: Régnerais-tu donc sur nous? ou nous gouvernerais-tu? Et ils le haïrent encore plus pour ses songes et pour ses paroles.

KJV ⁹ And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

OST ⁹ Il eut encore un autre songe et le raconta à ses frères, et il dit: Voici, j'ai eu encore un songe. Et voici, le soleil, et la lune, et onze étoiles se prosternaient devant moi.

KJV ¹⁰ And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

OST ¹⁰ Et il le raconta à son père, et à ses frères; mais son père le reprit, et lui dit: Que veut dire ce songe que tu as eu? Faudra-t-il que nous venions, moi et ta mère et tes frères, nous prosterner en terre devant toi?

KJV ¹¹ And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

OST ¹¹ Et ses frères furent jaloux de lui; mais son père retint ces choses.

KJV ¹² And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

OST ¹² Or, ses frères allèrent paître les troupeaux de leur père à Sichem.

KJV ¹³ And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.

OST ¹³ Et Israël dit à Joseph: Tes frères ne paissent-ils pas les troupeaux à Sichem? Viens, que je t'envoie vers eux. Et il lui répondit: Me voici.

KJV ¹⁴ And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

OST ¹⁴ Et il lui dit: Va donc; vois comment vont tes frères et comment vont les troupeaux, et rapporte-m'en des nouvelles. Il l'envoya ainsi de la vallée d'Hébron, et il vint à Sichem.

KJV ¹⁵ And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

OST ¹⁵ Et un homme le trouva errant par les champs; et cet homme l'interrogea, et lui dit: Que cherches-tu?

KJV ¹⁶ And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.

OST ¹⁶ Et il répondit: Je cherche mes frères; enseigne-moi, je te prie, où ils paissent.

KJV ¹⁷ And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

OST ¹⁷ Et l'homme dit: Ils sont partis d'ici; car je les ai entendus dire: Allons à Dothaïn. Joseph alla donc après ses frères, et il les trouva à Dothaïn.

KJV ¹⁸ And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

OST ¹⁸ Et ils le virent de loin. Et avant qu'il fût près d'eux, ils complotèrent contre lui de le mettre à mort.

KJV ¹⁹ And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

OST ¹⁹ Et ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: Voici ce songeur qui vient.

KJV ²⁰ Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

OST ²⁰ Maintenant donc, venez, tuons-le, et le jetons dans quelque fosse, et nous dirons qu'une bête féroce l'a dévoré; et nous verrons ce que deviendront ses songes.

KJV ²¹ And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.

OST ²¹ Mais Ruben entendit cela, et le délivra de leurs mains, et dit: Ne lui ôtons point la vie.

KJV ²² And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.

OST ²² Puis Ruben leur dit: Ne répandez point le sang; jetez-le dans cette fosse, qui est au désert, et ne mettez point la main sur lui. C'était pour le délivrer de leurs mains, pour le rendre à son père.

KJV ²³ And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;

OST ²³ Et dès que Joseph fut arrivé auprès de ses frères, ils le dépouillèrent de sa robe, de la robe de diverses couleurs qui était sur lui.

KJV ²⁴ And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

OST ²⁴ Et ils le saisirent, et le jetèrent dans la fosse. Or la fosse était vide; il n'y avait point d'eau.

KJV ²⁵ And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

OST ²⁵ Ensuite ils s'assirent pour manger le pain. Et, levant les yeux, ils regardèrent, et voici une caravane d'Ismaélites qui venait de Galaad; et leurs chameaux, chargés d'aromates, de baume, et de myrrhe, allaient les porter en Égypte.

KJV ²⁶ And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

OST ²⁶ Et Juda dit à ses frères: A quoi nous servira de tuer notre frère et de cacher son sang?

KJV ²⁷ Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.

OST ²⁷ Venez, et vendons-le aux Ismaélites, et que notre main ne soit point sur lui; car il est notre frère, notre chair. Et ses frères lui obéirent.

KJV ²⁸ Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

OST ²⁸ Et comme les marchands Madianites passaient, ils tirèrent et firent remonter Joseph de la fosse; et ils vendirent Joseph pour vingt pièces d'argent aux Ismaélites, qui l'emmenèrent en Égypte.

KJV ²⁹ And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

OST ²⁹ Et Ruben retourna à la fosse, et voici, Joseph n'était plus dans la fosse. Alors il déchira ses vêtements;

KJV ³⁰ And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

OST ³⁰ Et il retourna vers ses frères, et dit: L'enfant n'y est plus; et moi, moi, où irai-je?

KJV ³¹ And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

OST ³¹ Et ils prirent la robe de Joseph, tuèrent un bouc, et trempèrent la robe dans le sang.

KJV ³² And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.

OST ³² Ensuite ils envoyèrent et firent parvenir à leur père la robe de diverses couleurs, en lui faisant dire: Nous avons trouvé ceci; reconnais si c'est la robe de ton fils, ou non.

KJV ³³ And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

OST ³³ Et il la reconnut, et dit: C'est la robe de mon fils; une bête féroce l'a dévoré; certainement Joseph a été mis en pièces.

KJV ³⁴ And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

OST ³⁴ Et Jacob déchira ses vêtements, et mit un sac sur ses reins, et mena deuil sur son fils pendant longtemps.

KJV ³⁵ And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

OST ³⁵ Et tous ses fils, et toutes ses filles vinrent pour le consoler; mais il refusa d'être consolé, et il dit: Je descendrai en deuil vers mon fils au Sépulcre! C'est ainsi que son père le pleura.

KJV ³⁶ And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.

OST ³⁶ Et les Madianites le vendirent en Égypte à Potiphar, officier de Pharaon, chef des gardes.
