Genesis 17
1 Postquam vero nonaginta et novem annorum esse coeperat, apparuit ei Dominus: dixitque ad eum: Ego Deus omnipotens: ambula coram me, et esto perfectus.
And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am thy God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.
2 Ponamque foedus meum inter me et te, et multiplicabo te vehementer nimis.
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 Cecidit Abram pronus in faciem.
And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,
4 Dixitque ei Deus: Ego sum, et pactum meum tecum, erisque pater multarum gentium.
And I, behold! my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
5 Nec ultra vocabitur nomen tuum Abram: sed appellaberis Abraham: quia patrem multarum gentium constitui te.
And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraam, for I have made thee a father of many nations.
6 Faciamque te crescere vehementissime, et ponam te in gentibus, regesque ex te egredientur.
And I will increase thee very exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 Et statuam pactum meum inter me et te, et inter semen tuum post te in generationibus suis foedere sempiterno: ut sim Deus tuus, et seminis tui post te.
And I will establish my covenant between thee and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be thy God, and [the God] of thy seed after thee.
8 Daboque tibi et semini tuo terram peregrinationis tuae, omnem terram Chanaan in possessionem aeternam, eroque Deus eorum.
And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou sojournest, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.
9 Dixit iterum Deus ad Abraham: Et tu ergo custodies pactum meum, et semen tuum post te in generationibus suis.
And God said to Abraam, Thou also shalt fully keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee for their generations.
10 Hoc est pactum meum quod observabitis inter me et vos, et semen tuum post te: Circumcidetur ex vobis omne masculinum:
And this [is] the covenant which thou shalt fully keep between me and you, and between thy seed after thee for their generations; every male of you shall be circumcised.
11 et circumcidetis carnem praeputii vestri, ut sit in signum foederis inter me et vos.
And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.
12 Infans octo dierum circumcidetur in vobis, omne masculinum in generationibus vestris: tam vernaculus, quam emptitius circumcidetur, et quicumque non fuerit de stirpe vestra:
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 thy seed.
13 eritque pactum meum in carne vestra in foedus aeternum.
He that is born in thy 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 Masculus, cuius praeputii caro circumcisa non fuerit, delebitur anima illa de populo suo: quia pactum meum irritum fecit.
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 Dixit quoque Deus ad Abraham: Sarai uxorem tuam non vocabis Sarai, sed Saram.
And God said to Abraam, Sara thy wife—her name shall not be called Sara, Sarrha shall be her name.
16 Et benedicam ei, et ex illa dabo tibi filium cui benedicturus sum, eritque in nationes, et reges populorum orientur ex eo.
And I will bless her, and give thee a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.
17 Cecidit Abraham in faciem suam, et risit, dicens in corde suo: Putasne centenario nascetur filius? et Sara nonagenaria pariet?
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 Dixitque ad Deum: Utinam Ismael vivat coram te.
And Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before thee.
19 Et ait Deus ad Abraham: Sara uxor tua pariet tibi filium, vocabisque nomen eius Isaac, et constituam pactum meum illi in foedus sempiternum, et semini eius post eum.
And God said to Abraam, Yea, behold, Sarrha thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt 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 Super Ismael quoque exaudivi te. ecce, benedicam ei, et augebo, et multiplicabo eum valde: duodecim duces generabit, et faciam illum in gentem magnam.
And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard thee, 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 Pactum vero meum statuam ad Isaac, quem pariet tibi Sara tempore isto in anno altero.
But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to thee at this time, in the next year.
22 Cumque finitus esset sermo loquentis cum eo, ascendit Deus ad Abraham.
And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.
23 Tulit autem Abraham Ismael filium suum, et omnes vernaculos domus suae, universosque quos emerat, cunctos mares ex omnibus viris domus suae: et circumcidit carnem praeputii eorum statim in ipsa die, sicut praeceperat ei Deus.
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 nonaginta et novem erat annorum quando circumcidit carnem praeputii sui.
And Abraam was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 Et Ismael filius suus tredecim annos impleverat tempore circumcisionis suae.
And Ismael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 Eadem die circumcisus est Abraham et Ismael filius eius.
And at the period of that day, Abraam was circumcised, and Ismael his son,
27 Et omnes viri domus illius, tam vernaculi, quam emptitii et alienigenae pariter circumcisi sunt.
and all the men of his house, both those born in the house, and those bought with money of foreign nations.
