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 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 à l’infini.
and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”
3 Abram tomba sur sa face; et Dieu lui parla, en disant:
And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,
4 Voici mon alliance, que je fais avec toi. Tu deviendras père d’une multitude de nations.
“I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become 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 is no longer called Abram, but your name has been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you;
6 Je te rendrai fécond à l’infini, je ferai de toi des nations; et des rois sortiront 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 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 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 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 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 dit à Abraham: Toi, tu garderas mon alliance, toi et tes descendants après toi, selon leurs générations.
And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout 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.
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 vous circoncirez; et ce sera un signe d’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 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 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 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 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 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 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 à Abraham: Tu ne donneras plus à Saraï, ta femme, le nom de Saraï; mais son nom sera Sara.
And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] 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 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 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 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: Oh! Qu’Ismaël vive devant ta face!
And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may 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 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 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.
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 J’établirai mon alliance avec Isaac, que Sara t’enfantera à cette époque-ci de l’année prochaine.
and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;
22 Lorsqu’il eut achevé de lui parler, Dieu s’éleva au-dessus d’Abraham.
and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham.
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 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 Abraham était âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, lorsqu’il fut circoncis.
And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
25 Ismaël, son fils, était âgé de treize ans lorsqu’il fut circoncis.
and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
26 Ce même jour, Abraham fut circoncis, ainsi qu’Ismaël, son fils.
in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;
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—born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger—have been circumcised with him.
