Genesis 17
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord came to him, and said, I am God, Ruler of all; go in my ways and be upright in all things,
Abram tenía 99 años cuando Yavé se le apareció, y le dijo: Yo soy ʼEL-Shadday. Anda delante de Mí y sé perfecto.
2 And I will make an agreement between you and me, and your offspring will be greatly increased.
Estableceré mi Pacto entre Yo y tú, y te multiplicaré muchísimo.
3 And Abram went down on his face on the earth, and the Lord God went on talking with him, and said,
Entonces Abram se postró sobre su rostro. ʼElohim le habló:
4 As for me, my agreement is made with you, and you will be the father of nations without end.
Mira, establezco mi Pacto contigo: Serás padre de una multitud de pueblos.
5 No longer will your name be Abram, but Abraham, for I have made you the father of a number of nations.
Tu nombre ya no será Abram, sino Abraham, porque te constituí padre de una multitud de pueblos.
6 I will make you very fertile, so that nations will come from you and kings will be your offspring.
Te haré muy fecundo. Haré naciones de ti, y de ti saldrán reyes.
7 And I will make between me and you and your seed after you through all generations, an eternal agreement to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
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.
8 And to you and to your seed after you, I will give the land in which you are living, all the land of Canaan for an eternal heritage; and I will be their God.
Te daré por posesión perpetua la tierra de tus peregrinaciones, toda la tierra de Canaán, y a tu descendencia. Y seré su ʼElohim.
9 And God said to Abraham, On your side, you are to keep the agreement, you and your seed after you through all generations.
Además ʼElohim dijo a Abraham: Tú guardarás mi Pacto, tú y tu descendencia en sus generaciones.
10 And this is the agreement which you are to keep with me, you and your seed after you: every male among you is to undergo circumcision.
Éste es mi Pacto entre Yo y ustedes, el cual guardarán tú y tu descendencia: Que todo varón entre ustedes sea circuncidado.
11 In the flesh of your private parts you are to undergo it, as a mark of the agreement between me and you.
Circuncidarán sus prepucios, y esta será la señal del Pacto entre Yo y ustedes.
12 Every male among you, from one generation to another, is to undergo circumcision when he is eight days old, with every servant whose birth takes place in your house, or for whom you gave money to someone of another country, and not of your seed.
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.
13 He who comes to birth in your house and he who is made yours for a price, all are to undergo circumcision; so that my agreement may be marked in your flesh, an agreement for all time.
Ciertamente será circuncidado el nacido en tu casa y el comprado con tu dinero. Mi Pacto estará en su cuerpo como Pacto eterno.
14 And any male who does not undergo circumcision will be cut off from his people: my agreement has been broken by him.
Pero el varón incircunciso, que no haya circuncidado su prepucio, será cortado de su pueblo. Quebrantó mi Pacto.
15 And God said, As for Sarai, your wife, from now her name will be not Sarai, but Sarah.
También ʼElohim dijo a Abraham: A tu esposa Saray no la llamarás Saray, sino su nombre será Sara.
16 And I will give her a blessing so that you will have a son by her: truly my blessing will be on her, and she will be the mother of nations: kings of peoples will be her offspring.
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.
17 Then Abraham went down on his face, and laughing, said in his heart, May a man a hundred years old have a child? will Sarah, at ninety years old, give birth?
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?
18 And Abraham said to God, If only Ishmael's life might be your care!
Abraham dijo a ʼElohim: ¡Ojalá Ismael viva delante de Ti!
19 And God said, Not so; but Sarah, your wife, will have a son, and you will give him the name Isaac, and I will make my agreement with him for ever and with his seed after him.
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.
20 As for Ishmael, I have given ear to your prayer: truly I have given him my blessing and I will make him fertile and give him great increase; he will be the father of twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.
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.
21 But my agreement will be with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth a year from this time.
Pero mi Pacto lo confirmaré con Isaac, a quien Sara te dará a luz por este tiempo, el año próximo.
22 And having said these words, God went up from Abraham.
Cuando terminó de hablarle, ʼElohim ascendió de [la presencia] de Abraham.
23 And Abraham took Ishmael, his son, and all whose birth had taken place in his house, and all his servants whom he had made his for a price, every male of his house, and on that very day he gave them circumcision in the flesh of their private parts as God had said to him.
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.
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he underwent circumcision.
Abraham tenía 99 años cuando circuncidó su prepucio,
25 And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he underwent circumcision.
y su hijo Ismael tenía 13 años cuando su prepucio fue circuncidado.
26 Abraham and Ishmael, his son, underwent circumcision on that very day.
Aquel mismo día Abraham se circuncidó, y también su hijo Ismael.
27 And all the men of his house, those whose birth had taken place in the house and those whom he had got for money from men of other lands, underwent circumcision with him.
Todos los hombres de su casa, nacidos en casa o comprados con dinero a un extranjero, fueron circuncidados con él.
