< Genesis 17 >

1 Postquam vero nonaginta et novem annorum esse cœperat, apparuit ei Dominus: dixitque ad eum: Ego Deus omnipotens: ambula coram me, et esto perfectus.
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be you perfect.
2 Ponamque fœdus meum inter me et te, et multiplicabo te vehementer nimis.
And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.
3 Cecidit Abram pronus in faciem.
And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 Dixitque ei Deus: Ego sum, et pactum meum tecum, erisque pater multarum gentium.
As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
5 Nec ultra vocabitur nomen tuum Abram: sed appellaberis Abraham: quia patrem multarum gentium constitui te.
Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you.
6 Faciamque te crescere vehementissime, et ponam te in gentibus, regesque ex te egredientur.
And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.
7 Et statuam pactum meum inter me et te, et inter semen tuum post te in generationibus suis fœdere sempiterno: ut sim Deus tuus, et seminis tui post te.
And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you, and to your seed after you.
8 Daboque tibi et semini tuo terram peregrinationis tuæ, omnem terram Chanaan in possessionem æternam, eroque Deus eorum.
And I will give unto you, and to your seed after you, the land wherein you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9 Dixit iterum Deus ad Abraham: Et tu ergo custodies pactum meum, et semen tuum post te in generationibus suis.
And God said unto Abraham, You shall keep my covenant therefore, you, and your seed after you in their generations.
10 Hoc est pactum meum quod observabitis inter me et vos, et semen tuum post te: Circumcidetur ex vobis omne masculinum:
This is my covenant, which all of you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you; Every male child among you shall be circumcised.
11 et circumcidetis carnem præputii vestri, ut sit in signum fœderis inter me et vos.
And all of you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the 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 he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of your seed.
13 eritque pactum meum in carne vestra in fœdus æternum.
He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must essentially be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 Masculus, cuius præputii caro circumcisa non fuerit, delebitur anima illa de populo suo: quia pactum meum irritum fecit.
And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.
15 Dixit quoque Deus ad Abraham: Sarai uxorem tuam non vocabis Sarai, sed Saram.
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
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 you a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
17 Cecidit Abraham in faciem suam, et risit, dicens in corde suo: Putasne centenario nascetur filius? et Sara nonagenaria pariet?
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
18 Dixitque ad Deum: Utinam Ismael vivat coram te.
And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before you!
19 Et ait Deus ad Abraham: Sara uxor tua pariet tibi filium, vocabisque nomen eius Isaac, et constituam pactum meum illi in fœdus sempiternum, et semini eius post eum.
And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed; and you shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with 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 as for Ishmael, I have heard you: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he brought forth, 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 my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto you at this set time in the next year.
22 Cumque finitus esset sermo loquentis cum eo, ascendit Deus ab Abraham.
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
23 Tulit autem Abraham Ismael filium suum, et omnes vernaculos domus suæ, universosque quos emerat, cunctos mares ex omnibus viris domus suæ: et circumcidit carnem præputii eorum statim in ipsa die, sicut præceperat ei Deus.
And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the very same day, as God had said unto him.
24 Abraham nonaginta et novem erat annorum quando circumcidit carnem præputii sui.
And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 Et Ismael filius tredecim annos impleverat tempore circumcisionis suæ.
And Ishmael 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.
In the very same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
27 Et omnes viri domus illius, tam vernaculi, quam emptitii et alienigenæ pariter circumcisi sunt.
And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
