D’Adam aux fils de Noé

1 Voici l’histoire de la famille d’Adam. Quand Dieu créa les êtres humains, il les fit de telle sorte qu’ils lui ressemblent. 2 Il les créa homme et femme, il les bénit et leur donna le nom d’hommes le jour où ils furent créés. 3 Adam était âgé de 130 ans quand il eut un fils qui lui ressemble, qui soit son image. Il lui donna le nom de Seth. 4 Après cela, Adam vécut encore 800 ans et il eut d’autres enfants. 5 La durée totale de sa vie fut de 930 ans, puis il mourut. 6 Quand Seth fut âgé de 105 ans, il eut pour fils^[1] Enosh. 7 Après cela, il vécut encore 807 ans et il eut d’autres enfants. 8 Il mourut à l’âge de 912 ans. 9 Quand Enosh fut âgé de 90 ans, il eut pour fils Qénân. 10 Après cela, il vécut encore 815 ans et il eut d’autres enfants. 11 Il mourut à l’âge de 905 ans. 12 Quand Qénân fut âgé de 70 ans, il eut pour fils Mahalaléel. 13 Après cela, il vécut encore 840 ans et il eut d’autres enfants. 14 Il mourut à l’âge de 910 ans. 15 Quand Mahalaléel fut âgé de 65 ans, il eut pour fils Yéred. 16 Après cela, Mahalaléel vécut encore 830 ans et il eut d’autres enfants. 17 Il mourut à l’âge de 895 ans. 18 Quand Yéred fut âgé de 162 ans, il eut pour fils Hénok. 19 Après cela, il vécut encore 800 ans, et il eut d’autres enfants. 20 Il mourut à l’âge de 962 ans. 21 Quand Hénok fut âgé de 65 ans, il eut pour fils Mathusalem. 22 Après cela, Hénok mena sa vie sous le regard de Dieu durant 300 ans et il eut d’autres enfants. 23 La durée totale de sa vie fut de 365 ans. 24 Hénok vécut en communion avec Dieu puis il disparut, car Dieu le prit^[2]. (He 11:5; Jude 1:14) 25 Quand Mathusalem fut âgé de 187 ans, il eut pour fils Lémek. 26 Après cela, il vécut encore 782 ans et il eut d’autres enfants. 27 Il mourut à l’âge de 969 ans. 28 Quand Lémek fut âgé de 182 ans, il eut un fils. 29 Il l’appela Noé (Consolation^[3]) en disant: Celui-ci nous consolera de notre travail et de la tâche pénible que nous impose ce sol que l’Eternel a maudit. 30 Après cela, Lémek vécut encore 595 ans, et il eut d’autres enfants. 31 Il mourut à l’âge de 777 ans. 32 Quand Noé fut âgé de 500 ans, il eut pour fils Sem, Cham et Japhet.

Adam’s Descendants to Noah

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. (Gn 1:26) 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man^[1] when they were created. 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. (Gn 4:25) 4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. (1Ch 1:1; Lc 3:36) 5 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. (Gn 3:19) 6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh. (Gn 4:26) 7 Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died. 9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan. 10 Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died. 12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel. 13 Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Thus all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died. 15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared. 16 Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died. 18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch. (Jude 1:14) 19 Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died. 21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. 22 Enoch walked with God^[2] after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. (Gn 5:24; Gn 6:9; Mi 6:8; Ml 2:6)

Gn 5:24Gn 6:9Mi 6:8Ml 2:6

23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not,^[3] for God took him. (Gn 5:22; 2R 2:11; He 11:5) 25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered Lamech. 26 Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Thus all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died. 28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son 29 and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed, this one shall bring us relief^[4] from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.” (Gn 3:17) 30 Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died. 32 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Gn 6:10; Gn 10:21)
