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 and nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

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

And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee 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 thee, and thou shalt 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 thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

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

And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come forth from thee.

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 thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

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 thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land in which thou art 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, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee 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 ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every male 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 ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a sign 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 male in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, who is not of thy 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 thy house, and he that is bought with thy 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 male whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath 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 thy wife, thou shalt 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 thee a son also by her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall come 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?

Then Abraham fell upon 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, who 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 thee!

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 thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt 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 thee: 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, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this set time in the next year.

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

And he finished 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 same day, as God had said to him.

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

And Abraham was ninety and nine years old, 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 same 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.
