Genèse 17
1 Lorsque Abram fut arrivé à l'âge de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, Yahweh lui apparut et lui dit: " Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant; marche devant ma face et sois irréprochable:
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.
2 j'établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et je te multiplierai à l'infini. "
I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
3 Abram tomba la face contre terre, et Dieu lui parla ainsi:
Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,
4 " Moi, voici mon alliance avec toi: tu deviendras père d'une multitude de nations.
“As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5 On ne te nommera plus Abram, mais ton nom sera Abraham, car je te fais père d'une multitude de nations.
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 Je te ferai croître extraordinairement, je ferai de toi des nations, et des rois sortiront de toi.
I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
7 J'établis mon alliance, entre moi et toi et tes descendants après toi, d'âge en âge, en une alliance perpétuelle, pour être ton Dieu et le Dieu de tes descendants après toi.
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 Je te donnerai, à toi et à tes descendants après toi, le pays où tu séjournes comme étranger, tout le pays de Chanaan, en possession perpétuelle, et je serai leur Dieu ".
I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”
9 Dieu dit à Abraham: " Et toi, tu garderas mon alliance, toi et tes descendants après toi, d'âge en âge.
God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
10 Voici l'alliance que vous avez à garder, l'alliance entre moi et vous, et tes descendants après toi: tout mâle parmi vous sera circoncis.
This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 Vous vous circoncirez dans votre chair, et ce sera le signe de l'alliance entre moi et vous.
You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
12 Quand il aura huit jours, tout mâle parmi vous, d'âge en âge, sera circoncis, qu'il soit né dans la maison, ou qu'il ait été acquis à prix d'argent d'un étranger quelconque, qui n'est pas de ta race.
He who is eight days old shall be circumcised among 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 On devra circoncire le mâle né dans la maison ou acquis à prix d'argent, et mon alliance sera dans votre chair comme alliance perpétuelle.
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 Un mâle incirconcis, qui n'aura pas été circoncis dans sa chair, sera retranché de son peuple: il aura violé mon alliance. "
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 Dieu dit à Abraham: " Tu ne donneras plus à Saraï, ta femme, le nom de Saraï, car son nom est Sara.
God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
16 Je la bénirai, et je te donnerai aussi d'elle un fils; je la bénirai, et elle deviendra des nations; des rois de peuples sortiront d'elle. "
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 tomba la face contre terre, et il rit, disant dans son cœur: " Naîtra-t-il un fils à un homme de cent ans? Et Sara, une femme de quatre-vingt-dix ans, enfantera-t-elle? "
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 Et Abraham dit à Dieu: " Oh! qu' Ismaël vive devant votre face! "
Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
19 Dieu dit: " Oui, Sara, ta femme, t'enfantera un fils; tu le nommeras Isaac, et j'établirai mon alliance avec lui comme une alliance perpétuelle pour ses descendants après lui.
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 Quant à Ismaël, je t'ai entendu. Voici, je l'ai béni, je le rendrai fécond et je le multiplierai extrêmement; 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 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 Mais mon alliance, je l'établirai avec Isaac, que Sara t'enfantera l'année prochaine, à cette époque. "
But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”
22 Et ayant achevé de parler avec lui, Dieu remonta d'auprès d'Abraham.
When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
23 Abraham prit Ismaël, son fils, ainsi que tous les serviteurs nés dans sa maison et tous ceux qu'il avait acquis à prix d'argent, tous les mâles parmi les gens de sa maison, et il les circoncit en ce jour même, comme Dieu le lui avait commandé.
Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who 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 Abraham était âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans lorsqu'il fut circoncis;
Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 et Ismaël, son fils, avait treize ans lorsqu'il fut circoncis.
Ishmael, 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;
In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
27 et tous les hommes de sa maison, ceux qui étaient nés chez lui et ceux qui avaient été acquis des étrangers à prix d'argent, furent circoncis avec lui.
All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
