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 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;
2 J'établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et je te multiplierai beaucoup.
and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”
3 Abram tomba la face contre terre, et Dieu lui parla, disant:
And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,
4 Et moi voici que je fais alliance avec toi, tu seras le père d'une multitude de nations.
“I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of 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.
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;
6 Et je t'augmenterai beaucoup, beaucoup; je te constituerai père de plusieurs peuples, des rois proviendront de toi.
and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from 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 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;
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 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.”
9 Dieu ajouta: De ton côté, tu maintiendras mon alliance, toi et ta postérité, dans toutes les générations.
And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout 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 keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: every male of you [is] to 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 have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a token of a 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 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;
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 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;
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 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.”
15 Dieu dit ensuite à Abraham: Sara ta femme ne s'appellera plus Sara; Sarra sera son nom.
And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
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 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.”
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?
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?”
18 Et Abraham dit à Dieu: Que mon Ismaël vive devant vous!
And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may 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 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.
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.
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;
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.
and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;
22 Et Dieu, cessant de parler, remonta au-dessus d'Abraham.
and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes 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 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.
24 Or, Abraham avait quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans lorsqu'il se circoncit.
And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
25 Et Ismaël son fils avait treize ans quand il le circoncit.
and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
26 Ce jour-là furent circoncis Abraham et son fils Ismaël,
in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;
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 from the son of a stranger—have been circumcised with him.
