Chapter 17

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 thou perfect.

Lorsque Abram fut âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, l`Éternel apparut à Abram, et lui dit: Je suis le Dieu tout puissant. Marche devant ma face, et sois intègre.

And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

J`établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et je te multiplierai à l`infini.

And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

Abram tomba sur sa face; et Dieu lui parla, en disant:

As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

Voici mon alliance, que je fais avec toi. Tu deviendras père d`une multitude de nations.

Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

On ne t`appellera plus Abram; mais ton nom sera Abraham, car je te rends père d`une multitude de nations.

And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

Je te rendrai fécond à l`infini, je ferai de toi des nations; et des rois sortiront de toi.

And 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.

J`établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et tes descendants après toi, selon leurs générations: ce sera une alliance perpétuelle, en vertu de laquelle je serai ton Dieu et celui de ta postérité après toi.

And 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.

Je te donnerai, et à tes descendants après toi, le pays que tu habites comme étranger, tout le pays de Canaan, en possession perpétuelle, et je serai leur Dieu.

And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

Dieu dit à Abraham: Toi, tu garderas mon alliance, toi et tes descendants après toi, selon leurs générations.

This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

C`est ici mon alliance, que vous garderez entre moi et vous, et ta postérité après toi: tout mâle parmi vous sera circoncis.

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

Vous vous circoncirez; et ce sera un signe d`alliance entre moi et vous.

And 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.

A l`âge de huit jours, tout mâle parmi vous sera circoncis, selon vos générations, qu`il soit né dans la maison, ou qu`il soit acquis à prix d`argent de tout fils d`étranger, sans appartenir à ta race.

He 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.

On devra circoncire celui qui est né dans la maison et celui qui est acquis à prix d`argent; et mon alliance sera dans votre chair une alliance perpétuelle.

And 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.

Un mâle incirconcis, qui n`aura pas été circoncis dans sa chair, sera exterminé du milieu de son peuple: il aura violé mon alliance.

And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

Dieu dit à Abraham: Tu ne donneras plus à Saraï, ta femme, le nom de Saraï; mais son nom sera Sara.

And 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.

Je la bénirai, et je te donnerai d`elle un fils; je la bénirai, et elle deviendra des nations; des rois de peuples sortiront d`elle.

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?

Abraham tomba sur sa face; il rit, et dit en son coeur: Naîtrait-il un fils à un homme de cent ans? et Sara, âgée de quatre-vingt-dix ans, enfanterait-elle?

And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

Et Abraham dit à Dieu: Oh! qu`Ismaël vive devant ta face!

And 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.

Dieu dit: Certainement Sara, ta femme, t`enfantera un fils; et tu l`appelleras du nom d`Isaac. J`établirai mon alliance avec lui comme une alliance perpétuelle pour sa postérité après lui.

And 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.

A l`égard d`Ismaël, je t`ai exaucé. Voici, je le bénirai, je le rendrai fécond, et je le multiplierai à l`infini; il engendrera douze princes, et je ferai de lui une grande nation.

But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

J`établirai mon alliance avec Isaac, que Sara t`enfantera à cette époque-ci de l`année prochaine.

And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

Lorsqu`il eut achevé de lui parler, Dieu s`éleva au-dessus d`Abraham.

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 selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

Abraham prit Ismaël, son fils, tous ceux qui étaient nés dans sa maison et tous ceux qu`il avait acquis à prix d`argent, tous les mâles parmi les gens de la maison d`Abraham; et il les circoncit ce même jour, selon l`ordre que Dieu lui avait donné.

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

Abraham était âgé de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, lorsqu`il fut circoncis.

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

Ismaël, son fils, était âgé de treize ans lorsqu`il fut circoncis.

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

Ce même jour, Abraham fut circoncis, ainsi qu`Ismaël, son fils.

And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

Et tous les gens de sa maison, nés dans sa maison, ou acquis à prix d`argent des étrangers, furent circoncis avec lui.
