Genesis 17
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.
Cuando Abram tenía noventa y nueve años, Yahvé se le apareció y le dijo: “Yo soy el Dios Todopoderoso. Camina delante de mí y sé irreprochable.
2 Then I will confirm my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
Haré mi pacto entre yo y tú, y te multiplicaré en gran manera”.
3 Abram bowed low with his face to the ground and God talked with him, saying,
Abram se postró sobre su rostro. Dios habló con él, diciendo:
4 “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
“En cuanto a mí, he aquí que mi pacto es contigo. Serás el padre de una multitud de naciones.
5 No longer will your name be Abram, but your name will be Abraham—for I appoint you to be the father of a multitude of nations.
Ya no te llamarás Abram, sino que tu nombre será Abraham, porque te he hecho padre de una multitud de naciones.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.
Te haré fructificar en gran medida, y haré naciones de ti. De ti saldrán reyes.
7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you, throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.
Estableceré mi pacto entre mí y tú y tu descendencia después de ti por sus generaciones, como un pacto eterno, para ser un Dios para ti y para tu descendencia después de ti.
8 I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land where you have been living, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.”
Te daré a ti, y a tu descendencia después de ti, la tierra por la que viajas, toda la tierra de Canaán, como posesión eterna. Yo seré su Dios”.
9 Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
Dios dijo a Abraham: “En cuanto a ti, guardarás mi pacto, tú y tu descendencia después de ti por sus generaciones.
10 This is my covenant, which you must keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you must be circumcised.
Este es mi pacto, que guardarás, entre tú y yo y tu descendencia después de ti. Todo varón de entre vosotros será circuncidado.
11 You must be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
Será circuncidado en la carne de su prepucio. Será una señal de la alianza entre mí y vosotros.
12 Every male among you that is eight days old must be circumcised, throughout your people's generations. This includes him who is born into your household and him who is bought with money from any foreigner who is not one of your descendants.
Será circuncidado entre vosotros el que tenga ocho días de edad, todo varón a lo largo de vuestras generaciones, el que haya nacido en la casa o haya sido comprado con dinero a cualquier extranjero que no sea de vuestra descendencia.
13 He who is born into your household and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised. Thus my covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
El que nazca en tu casa, y el que sea comprado con tu dinero, debe ser circuncidado. Mi pacto estará en tu carne como pacto eterno.
14 Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin will be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”
El varón incircunciso que no esté circuncidado en la carne de su prepucio, esa alma será cortada de su pueblo. Ha roto mi pacto”.
15 God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai any more. Instead, her name will be Sarah.
Dios dijo a Abraham: “En cuanto a Sarai, tu mujer, no la llamarás Sarai, sino que su nombre será Sara.
16 I will bless her, and I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will become the mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”
Yo la bendeciré, y además te daré un hijo de ella. Sí, la bendeciré, y será madre de naciones. De ella saldrán reyes de pueblos”.
17 Then Abraham bowed low with his face to the ground, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? How can Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a son?”
Entonces Abraham se postró sobre su rostro y se rió, y dijo en su corazón: “¿Le nacerá un hijo a quien tiene cien años? ¿Dará a luz Sara, que tiene noventa años?”
18 Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
Abraham dijo a Dios: “¡Oh, que Ismael viva ante ti!”
19 God said, “No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you must name him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant with his descendants after him.
Dios dijo: “No, pero Sara, tu mujer, te dará un hijo. Lo llamarás Isaac. Estableceré mi pacto con él como un pacto eterno para su descendencia después de él.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I hereby bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him abundantly. He will be the father of twelve leaders of tribes, and I will make him become a great nation.
En cuanto a Ismael, te he escuchado. He aquí que lo he bendecido, lo haré fructificar y lo multiplicaré en gran manera. Llegará a ser padre de doce príncipes, y haré de él una gran nación.
21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time in the next year.”
Pero yo estableceré mi alianza con Isaac, a quien Sara dará a luz en esta época del año próximo.”
22 When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
Cuando terminó de hablar con él, Dios se alejó de Abraham.
23 Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all those who were born into his household, and all those who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in that same day, as God had said to him.
Abraham tomó a su hijo Ismael, a todos los nacidos en su casa y a todos los comprados con su dinero; a todo varón de la casa de Abraham, y circuncidó la carne de su prepucio en el mismo día, como Dios le había dicho.
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Abraham tenía noventa y nueve años cuando fue circuncidado en la carne de su prepucio.
25 Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ismael, su hijo, tenía trece años cuando fue circuncidado en la carne de su prepucio.
26 On the very same day Abraham and Ishmael his son were both circumcised.
El mismo día fueron circuncidados Abraham e Ismael, su hijo.
27 All the men of his household were circumcised with him, including those born into the household and those bought with money from a foreigner.
Todos los hombres de su casa, los nacidos en ella y los comprados con dinero a un extranjero, fueron circuncidados con él.
