Genesis 17
1 And Abram is a son of ninety-nine years, and YHWH appears to Abram, and says to him, “I [am] God Almighty, habitually walk before Me, and be perfect;
Lorsque Abram fut âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, l’Éternel apparut à Abram, et lui dit: Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant. Marche devant ma face, et sois intègre.
2 and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”
J’établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et je te multiplierai à l’infini.
3 And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,
Abram tomba sur sa face; et Dieu lui parla, en disant:
4 “I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;
Voici mon alliance, que je fais avec toi. Tu deviendras père d’une multitude de nations.
5 and your name is no longer called Abram, but your name has been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you;
On ne t’appellera plus Abram; mais ton nom sera Abraham, car je te rends père d’une multitude de nations.
6 and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.
Je te rendrai fécond à l’infini, je ferai de toi des nations; et des rois sortiront de toi.
7 And I have established My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant, to become God to you, and to your seed after you;
J’établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et tes descendants après toi, selon leurs générations: ce sera une alliance perpétuelle, en vertu de laquelle je serai ton Dieu et celui de ta postérité après toi.
8 and I have given to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a continuous possession, and I have become their God.”
Je te donnerai, et à tes descendants après toi, le pays que tu habites comme étranger, tout le pays de Canaan, en possession perpétuelle, et je serai leur Dieu.
9 And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout their generations;
Dieu dit à Abraham: Toi, tu garderas mon alliance, toi et tes descendants après toi, selon leurs générations.
10 this [is] My covenant which you keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: every male of you [is] to be circumcised;
C’est ici mon alliance, que vous garderez entre moi et vous, et ta postérité après toi: tout mâle parmi vous sera circoncis.
11 and you have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
Vous vous circoncirez; et ce sera un signe d’alliance entre moi et vous.
12 And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male throughout your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of your seed;
A l’âge de huit jours, tout mâle parmi vous sera circoncis, selon vos générations, qu’il soit né dans la maison, ou qu’il soit acquis à prix d’argent de tout fils d’étranger, sans appartenir à ta race.
13 he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in your house, or bought with your money; and My covenant has become in your flesh a perpetual covenant;
On devra circoncire celui qui est né dans la maison et celui qui est acquis à prix d’argent; et mon alliance sera dans votre chair une alliance perpétuelle.
14 and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people; My covenant he has broken.”
Un mâle incirconcis, qui n’aura pas été circoncis dans sa chair, sera exterminé du milieu de son peuple: il aura violé mon alliance.
15 And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
Dieu dit à Abraham: Tu ne donneras plus à Saraï, ta femme, le nom de Saraï; mais son nom sera Sara.
16 and I have blessed her, and have also given to you a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she has become nations—kings of peoples are from her.”
Je la bénirai, et je te donnerai d’elle un fils; je la bénirai, et elle deviendra des nations; des rois de peuples sortiront d’elle.
17 And Abraham falls on his face, and laughs, and says in his heart, “Is one born to the son of one hundred years? Or does Sarah—daughter of ninety years—bear?”
Abraham tomba sur sa face; il rit, et dit en son cœur: Naîtrait-il un fils à un homme de cent ans? Et Sara, âgée de quatre-vingt-dix ans, enfanterait-elle?
18 And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”;
Et Abraham dit à Dieu: Oh! Qu’Ismaël vive devant ta face!
19 and God says, “Your wife Sarah is certainly bearing a son to you, and you have called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a perpetual covenant, to his seed after him.
Dieu dit: Certainement Sara, ta femme, t’enfantera un fils; et tu l’appelleras du nom d’Isaac. J’établirai mon alliance avec lui comme une alliance perpétuelle pour sa postérité après lui.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes does he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;
A l’égard d’Ismaël, je t’ai exaucé. Voici, je le bénirai, je le rendrai fécond, et je le multiplierai à l’infini; il engendrera douze princes, et je ferai de lui une grande nation.
21 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;
J’établirai mon alliance avec Isaac, que Sara t’enfantera à cette époque-ci de l’année prochaine.
22 and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham.
Lorsqu’il eut achevé de lui parler, Dieu s’éleva au-dessus d’Abraham.
23 And Abraham takes his son Ishmael, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money—every male among the men of Abraham’s house and circumcises the flesh of their foreskin, in this very same day, as God has spoken with him.
Abraham prit Ismaël, son fils, tous ceux qui étaient nés dans sa maison et tous ceux qu’il avait acquis à prix d’argent, tous les mâles parmi les gens de la maison d’Abraham; et il les circoncit ce même jour, selon l’ordre que Dieu lui avait donné.
24 And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Abraham était âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, lorsqu’il fut circoncis.
25 and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Ismaël, son fils, était âgé de treize ans lorsqu’il fut circoncis.
26 in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;
Ce même jour, Abraham fut circoncis, ainsi qu’Ismaël, son fils.
27 and all the men of his house—born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger—have been circumcised with him.
Et tous les gens de sa maison, nés dans sa maison, ou acquis à prix d’argent des étrangers, furent circoncis avec lui.
