Genesis 17
1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the Almighty God: walk before my face, and be perfect.
Abram atteignit sa quatre-vingt -dix-neuvième année, et le Seigneur lui apparut, disant: Je suis ton Dieu; cherche à plaire à mes yeux; sois sans péché.
2 And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.
J'établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et je te multiplierai beaucoup.
3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,
Abram tomba la face contre terre, et Dieu lui parla, disant:
4 It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
Et moi voici que je fais alliance avec toi, tu seras le père d'une multitude de nations.
5 And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
Et tu ne t'appelleras plus Abram, mais ton nom sera Abraham, parce que je t'ai fait le père de beaucoup de nations.
6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Et je t'augmenterai beaucoup, beaucoup; je te constituerai père de plusieurs peuples, des rois proviendront de toi.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
J'établirai mon alliance entre moi et entre toi, et entre ta race après toi, dans toutes ses générations; alliance éternelle par laquelle je serai ton Dieu et le Dieu de ta race après toi.
8 And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them.
Je te donnerai, et après toi à ta race, la terre que tu habites, toute la terre de Chanaan, pour héritage perpétuel, et je serai votre Dieu.
9 And God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Dieu ajouta: De ton côté, tu maintiendras mon alliance, toi et ta postérité, dans toutes les générations.
10 This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee — that every male among you be circumcised.
Voici l'alliance que tu maintiendras entre moi et vous, c'est-à-dire ta postérité en toutes ses générations: Tout mâle parmi vous sera circoncis.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
Vous serez circoncis en la chair de votre prépuce, et ce sera le signe de l'alliance entre moi et vous.
12 And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you — he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.
Parmi vous, l'enfant de huit jours sera circoncis, tout enfant mâle en vos générations, tout serviteur, né dans votre maison, ou acheté à prix d'argent, provenant d'étrangers et non de votre sang,
13 He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Le serviteur né dans votre maison, et l'esclave acheté à prix d'argent, seront circoncis; ce sera là mon alliance sur votre chair, alliance éternelle.
14 And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.
Le mâle à qui, le huitième jour, on n'aura point circoncis la chair du prépuce, cette âme sera exterminée au milieu de sa famille, parce qu'elle aura violé mon alliance.
15 And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
Dieu dit ensuite à Abraham: Sara ta femme ne s'appellera plus Sara; Sarra sera son nom.
16 And I will bless her, and I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.
Je la bénirai, je te donnerai d'elle un enfant que je bénirai, et qui sera père de plusieurs peuples; des rois de nations tireront de lui leur origine.
17 And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
Abraham tomba la face contre terre; il rit, et il se dit en lui-même au fond du cœur: Un fils naîtra-t-il de moi dans ma centième année? Sarra à quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, enfantera-t-elle?
18 And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
Et Abraham dit à Dieu: Que mon Ismaël vive devant vous!
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Mais Dieu lui repartit: Oui, voici que Sarra ta femme t'enfantera un fils que tu appelleras Isaac, et j'établirai mon alliance avec lui, alliance éternelle, par laquelle je serai son Dieu, et le Dieu de sa race après lui.
20 And for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Par rapport à Ismaël, je t'ai aussi exaucé: je l'ai béni; je l'augmenterai, et je le multiplierai beaucoup. Il engendrera douze nations, et je le ferai père d'un grand peuple.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.
Mais c'est avec Isaac que te doit donner Sarra, à pareille époque, en l'année qui va suivre, que j'établirai mon alliance.
22 And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.
Et Dieu, cessant de parler, remonta au-dessus d'Abraham.
23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money — every male among the people of Abraham's house — and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.
Aussitôt Abraham prit Ismaël son fils, et tous ses serviteurs nés en sa maison, et tous ses esclaves achetés, et tout mâle de sa maison, et il les circoncit, le jour même, selon ce qu'avait dit le Seigneur Dieu.
24 And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Or, Abraham avait quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans lorsqu'il se circoncit.
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Et Ismaël son fils avait treize ans quand il le circoncit.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
Ce jour-là furent circoncis Abraham et son fils Ismaël,
27 and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Et tous les hommes de sa maison, et ses domestiques, et ses esclaves achetés des nations étrangères.
