Génesis 17

1 Abram tenía 99 años cuando Yavé se le apareció, y le dijo: Yo soy ʼEL-Shadday. Anda delante de Mí y sé perfecto.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.

2 Estableceré mi Pacto entre Yo y tú, y te multiplicaré muchísimo.

I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

3 Entonces Abram se postró sobre su rostro. ʼElohim le habló:

Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

4 Mira, establezco mi Pacto contigo: Serás padre de una multitud de pueblos.

“As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

5 Tu nombre ya no será Abram, sino Abraham, porque te constituí padre de una multitud de pueblos.

Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

6 Te haré muy fecundo. Haré naciones de ti, y de ti saldrán reyes.

I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

7 Yo establezco mi Pacto entre Yo y tú, y después de ti con tu descendencia en sus generaciones como alianza perpetua, para ser el ʼElohim tuyo y a tu descendencia.

I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.

8 Te daré por posesión perpetua la tierra de tus peregrinaciones, toda la tierra de Canaán, y a tu descendencia. Y seré su ʼElohim.

I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are travelling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”

9 Además ʼElohim dijo a Abraham: Tú guardarás mi Pacto, tú y tu descendencia en sus generaciones.

God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.

10 Éste es mi Pacto entre Yo y ustedes, el cual guardarán tú y tu descendencia: Que todo varón entre ustedes sea circuncidado.

This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male amongst you shall be circumcised.

11 Circuncidarán sus prepucios, y esta será la señal del Pacto entre Yo y ustedes.

You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

12 Todo varón entre ustedes en todas sus generaciones será circuncidado a los ocho días de nacido, tanto el nacido en casa, como el comprado con dinero a cualquier extranjero que no sea de tu descendencia.

He who is eight days old shall be circumcised amongst you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring.

13 Ciertamente será circuncidado el nacido en tu casa y el comprado con tu dinero. Mi Pacto estará en su cuerpo como Pacto eterno.

He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 Pero el varón incircunciso, que no haya circuncidado su prepucio, será cortado de su pueblo. Quebrantó mi Pacto.

The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

15 También ʼElohim dijo a Abraham: A tu esposa Saray no la llamarás Saray, sino su nombre será Sara.

God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.

16 La bendeciré y también te daré un hijo por medio de ella. Sí, la bendeciré. Ella [será madre de] naciones. Reyes de pueblos procederán de ella.

I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”

17 Abraham se postró sobre su rostro. Pero se rió y dijo en su corazón: ¿A un hombre de 100 años le nacerá un hijo? Y Sara, ¿dará a luz a los 90 años?

Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”

18 Abraham dijo a ʼElohim: ¡Ojalá Ismael viva delante de Ti!

Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”

19 Pero ʼElohim le dijo: Ciertamente tu esposa Sara te dará a luz un hijo. Tú lo llamarás Isaac, y estableceré mi Pacto con él como Pacto perpetuo para su descendencia después de él.

God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.

20 En cuanto a Ismael, te escuché: Ciertamente lo bendeciré, lo haré fecundo y lo multiplicaré muchísimo. Engendrará 12 príncipes y haré de él una gran nación.

As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

21 Pero mi Pacto lo confirmaré con Isaac, a quien Sara te dará a luz por este tiempo, el año próximo.

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

22 Cuando terminó de hablarle, ʼElohim ascendió de [la presencia] de Abraham.

When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

23 Entonces ese mismo día Abraham tomó a Ismael su hijo, a todos los nacidos en su casa, a todos los comprados con su dinero, y a todo varón entre las gentes de la casa de Abraham, y circuncidó su prepucio, como ʼElohim le dijo.

Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money: every male amongst the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.

24 Abraham tenía 99 años cuando circuncidó su prepucio,

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

25 y su hijo Ismael tenía 13 años cuando su prepucio fue circuncidado.

Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

26 Aquel mismo día Abraham se circuncidó, y también su hijo Ismael.

In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

27 Todos los hombres de su casa, nacidos en casa o comprados con dinero a un extranjero, fueron circuncidados con él.

All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
