Genesis 17

1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am your God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.

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 establish my covenant between me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.

J'établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et je te multiplierai beaucoup.

3 And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,

Abram tomba la face contre terre, et Dieu lui parla, disant:

4 And I, behold! my covenant [is] with you, and you shall 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 your name shall no more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraam, for I have made you a father of many nations.

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 increase you very exceedingly, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

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 you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you.

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 will give to you and to your seed after you the land wherein you sojourn, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

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 Abraam, You also shall fully keep my covenant, you and your seed after you for their generations.

Dieu ajouta: De ton côté, tu maintiendras mon alliance, toi et ta postérité, dans toutes les générations.

10 And this [is] the covenant which you shall fully keep between me and you, and between your seed after you for their generations; every male of you shall 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 you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a 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 the child of eight days [old] shall be circumcised by you, every male throughout your generations, and [the servant] born in the house and he that is bought with money, of every son of a stranger, who is not of your 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 that is born in your house, and he that is bought with money shall be surely circumcised, and my covenant shall be on 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 shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from its family, for he has 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 Abraam, Sara your wife—her name shall not be called Sara, Sarrha 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 give you a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.

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 Abraam fell upon his face, and laughed; and spoke in his heart, saying, Shall there be a child to one who is a hundred years old, and shall Sarrha 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 Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before you.

Et Abraham dit à Dieu: Que mon Ismaël vive devant vous!

19 And God said to Abraam, Yes, behold, Sarrha your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to him and to 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 concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard you, and, behold, I have blessed him, and will increase him and multiply him exceedingly; twelve nations 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 I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to you at this 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 speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.

Et Dieu, cessant de parler, remonta au-dessus d'Abraham.

23 And Abraam took Ismael his son, and all his home-born [servants], and all those bought with money, and every male of the men in the house of Abraam, and he circumcised their foreskins in the time of that day, according as God spoke 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 Abraam 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 Ismael 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 And at the period of that day, Abraam was circumcised, and Ismael his son,

Ce jour-là furent circoncis Abraham et son fils Ismaël,

27 and all the men of his house, both those born in the house, and those bought with money of foreign nations.

Et tous les hommes de sa maison, et ses domestiques, et ses esclaves achetés des nations étrangères.
