Genèse 17

1 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.

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be you perfect.

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

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

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

And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

4 Et moi voici que je fais alliance avec toi, tu seras le père d'une multitude de nations.

As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

5 Et tu ne t'appelleras plus Abram, mais ton nom sera Abraham, parce que je t'ai fait le père de beaucoup de nations.

Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you.

6 Et je t'augmenterai beaucoup, beaucoup; je te constituerai père de plusieurs peuples, des rois proviendront de toi.

And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

7 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.

And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you, and to your seed after you.

8 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.

And I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land wherein you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

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

And God said to Abraham, You shall keep my covenant therefore, you, and your seed after you in their generations.

10 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.

This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

11 Vous serez circoncis en la chair de votre prépuce, et ce sera le signe de l'alliance entre moi et vous.

And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you.

12 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,

And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of your seed.

13 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.

He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 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.

And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.

15 Dieu dit ensuite à Abraham: Sara ta femme ne s'appellera plus Sara; Sarra sera son nom.

And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

16 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.

And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her: yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

17 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?

Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

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

And Abraham said to God, O that Ishmael might live before you!

19 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.

And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed; and you shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

20 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.

And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: 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.

21 Mais c'est avec Isaac que te doit donner Sarra, à pareille époque, en l'année qui va suivre, que j'établirai mon alliance.

But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year.

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

And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

23 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.

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 to him.

24 Or, Abraham avait quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans lorsqu'il se circoncit.

And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 Et Ismaël son fils avait treize ans quand il le circoncit.

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

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

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

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

And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
