Genesis 17
1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him: 'I am God Almighty; walk before Me, and be thou wholehearted.
Postquam vero nonaginta et novem annorum esse coeperat, apparuit ei Dominus: dixitque ad eum: Ego Deus omnipotens: ambula coram me, et esto perfectus.
2 And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.'
Ponamque foedus meum inter me et te, et multiplicabo te vehementer nimis.
3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying:
Cecidit Abram pronus in faciem.
4 'As for Me, behold, My covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations.
Dixitque ei Deus: Ego sum, et pactum meum tecum, erisque pater multarum gentium.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
Nec ultra vocabitur nomen tuum Abram: sed appellaberis Abraham: quia patrem multarum gentium constitui te.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Faciamque te crescere vehementissime, et ponam te in gentibus, regesque ex te egredientur.
7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
Et statuam pactum meum inter me et te, et inter semen tuum post te in generationibus suis foedere sempiterno: ut sim Deus tuus, et seminis tui post te.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.'
Daboque tibi et semini tuo terram peregrinationis tuae, omnem terram Chanaan in possessionem aeternam, eroque Deus eorum.
9 And God said unto Abraham: 'And as for thee, thou shalt keep My covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.
Dixit iterum Deus ad Abraham: Et tu ergo custodies pactum meum, et semen tuum post te in generationibus suis.
10 This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.
Hoc est pactum meum quod observabitis inter me et vos, et semen tuum post te: Circumcidetur ex vobis omne masculinum:
11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt Me and you.
et circumcidetis carnem praeputii vestri, ut sit in signum foederis inter me et vos.
12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed.
Infans octo dierum circumcidetur in vobis, omne masculinum in generationibus vestris: tam vernaculus, quam emptitius circumcidetur, et quicumque non fuerit de stirpe vestra:
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
eritque pactum meum in carne vestra in foedus aeternum.
14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant.'
Masculus, cuius praeputii caro circumcisa non fuerit, delebitur anima illa de populo suo: quia pactum meum irritum fecit.
15 And God said unto Abraham: 'As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
Dixit quoque Deus ad Abraham: Sarai uxorem tuam non vocabis Sarai, sed Saram.
16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.'
Et benedicam ei, et ex illa dabo tibi filium cui benedicturus sum, eritque in nationes, et reges populorum orientur ex eo.
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart: 'Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?'
Cecidit Abraham in faciem suam, et risit, dicens in corde suo: Putasne centenario nascetur filius? et Sara nonagenaria pariet?
18 And Abraham said unto God: 'Oh that Ishmael might live before Thee!'
Dixitque ad Deum: Utinam Ismael vivat coram te.
19 And God said: 'Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall 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.
Et ait Deus ad Abraham: Sara uxor tua pariet tibi filium, vocabisque nomen eius Isaac, et constituam pactum meum illi in foedus sempiternum, et semini eius post eum.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Super Ismael quoque exaudivi te. ecce, benedicam ei, et augebo, et multiplicabo eum valde: duodecim duces generabit, et faciam illum in gentem magnam.
21 But My covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.'
Pactum vero meum statuam ad Isaac, quem pariet tibi Sara tempore isto in anno altero.
22 And He left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
Cumque finitus esset sermo loquentis cum eo, ascendit Deus ad Abraham.
23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
Tulit autem Abraham Ismael filium suum, et omnes vernaculos domus suae, universosque quos emerat, cunctos mares ex omnibus viris domus suae: et circumcidit carnem praeputii eorum statim in ipsa die, sicut praeceperat ei Deus.
24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Abraham nonaginta et novem erat annorum quando circumcidit carnem praeputii sui.
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Et Ismael filius suus tredecim annos impleverat tempore circumcisionis suae.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
Eadem die circumcisus est Abraham et Ismael filius eius.
27 And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
Et omnes viri domus illius, tam vernaculi, quam emptitii et alienigenae pariter circumcisi sunt.
