Génesis 17
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1Abraham étant âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, le Seigneur lui apparut et lui dit: "Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant; conduis-toi à mon gré, sois irréprochable,
2et je maintiendrai mon alliance avec toi, et je te multiplierai à l'infini."
3Abram tomba sur sa face, et Dieu lui parla de la sorte:
4"Moi-même, oui, je traite avec toi: tu seras le père d'une multitude de nations.
5Ton nom ne s'énoncera plus, désormais, Abram: ton nom sera Abraham, car je te fais le père d'une multitude de nations.
6Je te ferai fructifier prodigieusement; je ferai de toi des peuples, et des rois seront tes descendants.
7Cette alliance, établie entre moi et entre toi et ta postérité dernière, je l'érigerai en alliance perpétuelle, étant pour toi un Dieu comme pour ta postérité après toi.
8Et je donnerai à toi et à ta postérité la terre de tes pérégrinations, toute la terre de Canaan, comme possession indéfinie; et je serai pour eux un Dieu tutélaire."
9Dieu dit à Abraham: "Pour toi, sois fidèle à mon alliance, toi et ta postérité après toi dans tous les âges.
10Voici le pacte que vous observerez, qui est entre moi et vous, jusqu'à ta dernière postérité: circoncire tout mâle d'entre vous.
11Vous retrancherez la chair de votre excroissance, et ce sera un symbole d'alliance entre moi et vous.
12A l'âge de huit jours, que tout mâle, dans vos générations, soit circoncis par vous; même l'enfant né dans ta maison, ou acheté à prix d'argent parmi les fils de l'étranger, qui ne sont pas de ta race.
13Oui, il sera circoncis, l’enfant de ta maison ou celui que tu auras acheté; et mon alliance, à perpétuité, sera gravée dans votre chair.
14Et le mâle incirconcis, qui n'aura pas retranché la chair de son excroissance, sera supprimé lui-même du sein de son peuple pour avoir enfreint mon alliance."
15Dieu dit à Abraham: "Saraï, ton épouse, tu ne l'appelleras plus Saraï, mais bien Sara.
16Je la bénirai, en te donnant, par elle aussi, un fils; je la bénirai, en ce qu'elle produira des nations et que des chefs de peuples naîtront d'elle."
17Abraham tomba sur sa face et sourit; et il dit en son coeur"Quoi! un centenaire engendrerait encore! et à quatre-vingt-dix ans, Sara deviendrait mère!"
18Abraham dit au Seigneur: "Puisse Ismaël, à tes yeux, mériter de vivre!"
19Le Seigneur répondit: "Certes, Sara, ton épouse, te donnera un fils, et tu le nommeras Isaac. Je maintiendrai mon pacte avec lui, comme pacte perpétuel à l'égard de sa descendance.
20Quant à Ismaël, je t'ai exaucé: oui, je l'ai béni; je le ferai fructifier et multiplier à l'infini; il engendra douze princes, et je le ferai devenir une grande nation.
21Pour mon alliance, je la confirmerai sur Isaac, que Sara t'enfantera à pareille époque, l’année prochaine."
22Ayant achevé de lui parler, Dieu disparut de devant Abraham.
23Abraham prit Ismaël son fils, tous les enfants de ses esclaves et ceux qu'il avait achetés à prix d'argent, tous les mâles de la maison d'Abraham; il retrancha la chair de leur excroissance, ce jour-là même, ainsi que Dieu le lui avait dit.
24Or, Abraham était âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, lorsque fut retranchée la chair de son excroissance.
25Ismaël, son fils, était âgé de treize ans, lorsque la chair de son excroissance fut retranchée.
26C'est en ce même jour que fut circoncis Abraham, ainsi qu’Ismaël son fils.
27Et tous les gens de sa maison, nés chez lui ou achetés à prix d'argent à l'étranger, furent circoncis en même temps.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y SIENDO Abram de edad de noventa y nueve años, aparecióle Jehová, y le dijo: Yo soy el Dios Todopoderoso; anda delante de mí, y sé perfecto.
2Y pondré mi pacto entre mí y ti, y multiplicarte he mucho en gran manera.
3Entonces Abram cayó sobre su rostro, y Dios habló con él diciendo:
4Yo, he aquí mi pacto contigo: Serás padre de muchedumbre de gentes:
5Y no se llamará más tu nombre Abram, sino que será tu nombre Abraham, porque te he puesto por padre de muchedumbre de gentes.
6Y multiplicarte he mucho en gran manera, y te pondré en gentes, y reyes saldrán de ti.
7Y estableceré mi pacto entre mí y ti, y tu simiente después de ti en sus generaciones, por alianza perpetua, para serte á ti por Dios, y á tu simiente después de ti.
8Y te daré á ti, y á tu simiente después de ti, la tierra de tus peregrinaciones, toda la tierra de Canaán en heredad perpetua; y seré el Dios de ellos.
9Dijo de nuevo Dios á Abraham: Tú empero guardarás mi pacto, tú y tu simiente después de ti por sus generaciones.
10Este será mi pacto, que guardaréis entre mí y vosotros y tu simiente después de ti: Será circuncidado todo varón de entre vosotros.
11Circuncidaréis, pues, la carne de vuestro prepucio, y será por señal del pacto entre mí y vosotros.
12Y de edad de ocho días será circuncidado todo varón entre vosotros por vuestras generaciones: el nacido en casa, y el comprado á dinero de cualquier extranjero, que no fuere de tu simiente.
13Debe ser circuncidado el nacido en tu casa, y el comprado por tu dinero: y estará mi pacto en vuestra carne para alianza perpetua.
14Y el varón incircunciso que no hubiere circuncidado la carne de su prepucio, aquella persona será borrada de su pueblo; ha violado mi pacto.
15Dijo también Dios á Abraham: A Sarai tu mujer no la llamarás Sarai, mas Sara será su nombre.
16Y bendecirla he, y también te daré de ella hijo; sí, la bendeciré, y vendrá á ser madre de naciones; reyes de pueblos serán de ella.
17Entonces Abraham cayó sobre su rostro, y rióse, y dijo en su corazón: ¿A hombre de cien años ha de nacer hijo? ¿y Sara, ya de noventa años, ha de parir?
18Y dijo Abraham á Dios: Ojalá Ismael viva delante de ti.
19Y respondió Dios: Ciertamente Sara tu mujer te parirá un hijo, y llamarás su nombre Isaac; y confirmaré mi pacto con él por alianza perpetua para su simiente después de él.
20Y en cuanto á Ismael, también te he oído: he aquí que le bendeciré, y le haré fructificar y multiplicar mucho en gran manera: doce príncipes engendrará, y ponerlo he por gran gente.
21Mas yo estableceré mi pacto con Isaac, al cual te parirá Sara por este tiempo el año siguiente.
22Y acabó de hablar con él, y subió Dios de con Abraham.
23Entonces tomó Abraham á Ismael su hijo, y á todos los siervos nacidos en su casa, y á todos los comprados por su dinero, á todo varón entre los domésticos de la casa de Abraham, y circuncidó la carne del prepucio de ellos en aquel mismo día, como Dios le había dicho.
24Era Abraham de edad de noventa y nueve años cuando circuncidó la carne de su prepucio.
25E Ismael su hijo era de trece años, cuando fué circuncidada la carne de su prepucio.
26En el mismo día fué circuncidado Abraham é Ismael su hijo.
27Y todos los varones de su casa, el siervo nacido en casa, y el comprado por dinero del extranjero, fueron circuncidados con él.
King James Version
1And 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 thou perfect.
2And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
15And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
16And I will bless her, and give thee 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.
17Then 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?
18And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
22And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
23And 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 selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
24And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
27And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
World English Bible
1When 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.
2I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
3Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,
4“As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5Your 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.
6I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
7I 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.
8I 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.”
9God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
10This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
12He 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.
13He 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.
14The 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.”
15God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
16I 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.”
17Then 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?”
18Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
19God 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.
20As 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.
21But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”
22When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
23Abraham 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.
24Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
27All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
