Genesis 17
1 And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, 'I [am] God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;
Postquam vero nonaginta et novem annorum esse cœperat, apparuit ei Dominus: dixitque ad eum: Ego Deus omnipotens: ambula coram me, et esto perfectus.
2 and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'
Ponamque fœdus meum inter me et te, et multiplicabo te vehementer nimis.
3 And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,
Cecidit Abram pronus in faciem.
4 'I — lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;
Dixitque ei Deus: EGO SUM, et pactum meum tecum, erisque pater multarum gentium.
5 and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for 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 have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.
Faciamque te crescere vehementissime, et ponam te in gentibus, regesque ex te egredientur.
7 'And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;
Et statuam pactum meum inter me et te, et inter semen tuum post te in generationibus suis fœdere sempiterno: ut sim Deus tuus, et seminis tui post te.
8 and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'
Daboque tibi et semini tuo terram peregrinationis tuæ, omnem terram Chanaan in possessionem æternam, eroque Deus eorum.
9 And God saith unto Abraham, 'And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to 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 keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you [is] to 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 have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
et circumcidetis carnem præputii vestri, ut sit in signum fœderis inter me et vos.
12 'And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who 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 is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;
eritque pactum meum in carne vestra in fœdus æternum.
14 and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.'
Masculus, cuius præputii caro circumcisa non fuerit, delebitur anima illa de populo suo: quia pactum meum irritum fecit.
15 And God saith unto Abraham, 'Sarai thy wife — thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
Dixit quoque Deus ad Abraham: Sarai uxorem tuam non vocabis Sarai, sed Saram.
16 and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations — kings of peoples are from her.'
Et benedicam ei, et ex illa dabo tibi filium cui benedicturus sum, eritque in nationes, et reges populorum orientur ex eo.
17 And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, 'To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah — daughter of ninety years — bear?'
Cecidit Abraham in faciem suam, et risit, dicens in corde suo: Putasne centenario nascetur filius? et Sara nonagenaria pariet?
18 And Abraham saith unto God, 'O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'
Dixitque ad Deum: Utinam Ismael vivat coram te.
19 and God saith, 'Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to 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 fœdus sempiternum, et semini eius post eum.
20 As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become 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 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'
Pactum vero meum statuam ad Isaac, quem pariet tibi Sara tempore isto in anno altero.
22 and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.
Cumque finitus esset sermo loquentis cum eo, ascendit Deus ab Abraham.
23 And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money — every male among the men of Abraham's house — and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.
Tulit autem Abraham Ismael filium suum, et omnes vernaculos domus suæ, universosque quos emerat, cunctos mares ex omnibus viris domus suæ: et circumcidit carnem præputii eorum statim in ipsa die, sicut præceperat ei Deus.
24 And Abraham [is] a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Abraham nonaginta et novem erat annorum quando circumcidit carnem præputii sui.
25 and Ishmael his son [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Et Ismael filius tredecim annos impleverat tempore circumcisionis suæ.
26 in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
Eadem die circumcisus est Abraham et Ismael filius eius.
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 omnes viri domus illius, tam vernaculi, quam emptitii et alienigenæ pariter circumcisi sunt.
