Genèse 17

1 Lorsque Abram fut âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, l’Éternel apparut à Abram, et lui dit: Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant. Marche devant ma face, et sois intègre.

And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am your God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.

2 J’établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et je te multiplierai à l’infini.

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

3 Abram tomba sur sa face; et Dieu lui parla, en disant:

And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,

4 Voici mon alliance, que je fais avec toi. Tu deviendras père d’une multitude de nations.

And I, behold! my covenant [is] with you, and you shall be a father of a multitude of nations.

5 On ne t’appellera plus Abram; mais ton nom sera Abraham, car je te rends père d’une multitude de nations.

And your name shall no more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraam, for I have made you a father of many nations.

6 Je te rendrai fécond à l’infini, je ferai de toi des nations; et des rois sortiront de toi.

And I will increase you very exceedingly, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

7 J’établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et tes descendants après toi, selon leurs générations: ce sera une alliance perpétuelle, en vertu de laquelle je serai ton Dieu et celui de ta postérité après toi.

And I will establish my covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you.

8 Je te donnerai, et à tes descendants après toi, le pays que tu habites comme étranger, tout le pays de Canaan, en possession perpétuelle, et je serai leur Dieu.

And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land wherein you sojourn, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

9 Dieu dit à Abraham: Toi, tu garderas mon alliance, toi et tes descendants après toi, selon leurs générations.

And God said to Abraam, You also shall fully keep my covenant, you and your seed after you for their generations.

10 C’est ici mon alliance, que vous garderez entre moi et vous, et ta postérité après toi: tout mâle parmi vous sera circoncis.

And this [is] the covenant which you shall fully keep between me and you, and between your seed after you for their generations; every male of you shall be circumcised.

11 Vous vous circoncirez; et ce sera un signe d’alliance entre moi et vous.

And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.

12 A l’âge de huit jours, tout mâle parmi vous sera circoncis, selon vos générations, qu’il soit né dans la maison, ou qu’il soit acquis à prix d’argent de tout fils d’étranger, sans appartenir à ta race.

And the child of eight days [old] shall be circumcised by you, every male throughout your generations, and [the servant] born in the house and he that is bought with money, of every son of a stranger, who is not of your seed.

13 On devra circoncire celui qui est né dans la maison et celui qui est acquis à prix d’argent; et mon alliance sera dans votre chair une alliance perpétuelle.

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

14 Un mâle incirconcis, qui n’aura pas été circoncis dans sa chair, sera exterminé du milieu de son peuple: il aura violé mon alliance.

And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from its family, for he has broken my covenant.

15 Dieu dit à Abraham: Tu ne donneras plus à Saraï, ta femme, le nom de Saraï; mais son nom sera Sara.

And God said to Abraam, Sara your wife—her name shall not be called Sara, Sarrha shall be her name.

16 Je la bénirai, et je te donnerai d’elle un fils; je la bénirai, et elle deviendra des nations; des rois de peuples sortiront d’elle.

And I will bless her, and give you a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.

17 Abraham tomba sur sa face; il rit, et dit en son cœur: Naîtrait-il un fils à un homme de cent ans? Et Sara, âgée de quatre-vingt-dix ans, enfanterait-elle?

And Abraam fell upon his face, and laughed; and spoke in his heart, saying, Shall there be a child to one who is a hundred years old, and shall Sarrha who is ninety years old, bear?

18 Et Abraham dit à Dieu: Oh! Qu’Ismaël vive devant ta face!

And Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before you.

19 Dieu dit: Certainement Sara, ta femme, t’enfantera un fils; et tu l’appelleras du nom d’Isaac. J’établirai mon alliance avec lui comme une alliance perpétuelle pour sa postérité après lui.

And God said to Abraam, Yes, behold, Sarrha your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to him and to his seed after him.

20 A l’égard d’Ismaël, je t’ai exaucé. Voici, je le bénirai, je le rendrai fécond, et je le multiplierai à l’infini; il engendrera douze princes, et je ferai de lui une grande nation.

And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard you, and, behold, I have blessed him, and will increase him and multiply him exceedingly; twelve nations shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

21 J’établirai mon alliance avec Isaac, que Sara t’enfantera à cette époque-ci de l’année prochaine.

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

22 Lorsqu’il eut achevé de lui parler, Dieu s’éleva au-dessus d’Abraham.

And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.

23 Abraham prit Ismaël, son fils, tous ceux qui étaient nés dans sa maison et tous ceux qu’il avait acquis à prix d’argent, tous les mâles parmi les gens de la maison d’Abraham; et il les circoncit ce même jour, selon l’ordre que Dieu lui avait donné.

And Abraam took Ismael his son, and all his home-born [servants], and all those bought with money, and every male of the men in the house of Abraam, and he circumcised their foreskins in the time of that day, according as God spoke to him.

24 Abraham était âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, lorsqu’il fut circoncis.

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

25 Ismaël, son fils, était âgé de treize ans lorsqu’il fut circoncis.

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

26 Ce même jour, Abraham fut circoncis, ainsi qu’Ismaël, son fils.

And at the period of that day, Abraam was circumcised, and Ismael his son,

27 Et tous les gens de sa maison, nés dans sa maison, ou acquis à prix d’argent des étrangers, furent circoncis avec lui.

and all the men of his house, both those born in the house, and those bought with money of foreign nations.
