| 1 | And after he began to be ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to him: and said unto him: I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be perfect. | Postquam vero nonaginta et novem annorum esse coeperat, apparuit ei Dominus, dixitque ad eum: Ego Deus omnipotens: ambula coram me, et esto perfectus. |
| 2 | And I will make my covenant between me and thee: and I will multiply thee exceedingly. | Ponamque foedus meum inter me et te, et multiplicabo te vehementer nimis. |
| 3 | Abram fell flat on his face. | Cecidit Abram pronus in faciem. |
| 4 | And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. | Dixitque ei Deus: Ego sum, et pactum meum tecum, erisque pater multarum gentium. |
| 5 | Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations. | Nec ultra vocabitur nomen tuum Abram, sed appellaberis Abraham: quia patrem multarum gentium constitui te. |
| 6 | And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. | Faciamque te crescere vehementissime, et ponam te in gentibus, regesque ex te egredientur. |
| 7 | And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee. | Et statuam pactum meum inter me et te, et inter semen tuum post te in generationibus suis, foedere sempiterno: ut sim Deus tuus, et seminis tui post te. |
| 8 | And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God. | Daboque tibi et semini tuo terram peregrinationis tuae, omnem terram Chanaan in possessionem aeternam, eroque Deus eorum. |
| 9 | Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations. | Dixit iterum Deus ad Abraham: Et tu ergo custodies pactum meum, et semen tuum post te in generationibus suis. |
| 10 | This is my covenant which you shall observe, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall be circumcised: | Hoc est pactum meum quod observabitis inter me et vos, et semen tuum post te: circumcidetur ex vobis omne masculinum: |
| 11 | And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you. | et circumcidetis carnem praeputii vestri, ut sit in signum foederis inter me et vos. |
| 12 | An infant of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations: he that is born in the house, as well as the bought servant shall be circumcised, and whosoever is not of your stock: | Infans octo dierum circumcidetur in vobis, omne masculinum in generationibus vestris: tam vernaculus, quam emptitius circumcidetur, et quicumque non fuerit de stirpe vestra: |
| 13 | And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant. | eritque pactum meum in carne vestra in foedus aeternum. |
| 14 | The male, whose flesh of his foreskin shall not be circumcised, that soul shall be destroyed out of his people: because he hath broken my covenant. | Masculus, cuius praeputii caro circumcisa non fuerit, delebitur anima illa de populo suo: quia pactum meum irritum fecit. |
| 15 | God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara. | Dixit quoque Deus ad Abraham: Sarai uxorem tuam non vocabis Sarai, sed Saram. |
| 16 | And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shall become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him. | Et benedicam ei, et ex illa dabo tibi filium cui benedicturus sum: eritque in nationes, et reges populorum orientur ex eo. |
| 17 | Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth? | Cecidit Abraham in faciem suam, et risit, dicens in corde suo: Putasne centenario nascetur filius? et Sara nonagenaria pariet? |
| 18 | And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee. | Dixitque ad Deum: Utinam Ismaël vivat coram te. |
| 19 | And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him. | Et ait Deus ad Abraham: Sara uxor tua pariet tibi filium, vocabisque nomen eius Isaac, et constituam pactum meum illi in foedus sempiternum, et semini eius post eum. |
| 20 | And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation. | Super Ismaël quoque exaudivi te: ecce, benedicam ei, et augebo, et multiplicabo eum valde: duodecim duces generabit, et faciam illum in gentem magnam. |
| 21 | But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year. | Pactum vero meum statuam ad Isaac, quem pariet tibi Sara tempore isto in anno altero. |
| 22 | And when he had left off speaking with him, God went up from Abraham. | Cumque finitus esset sermo loquentis cum eo, ascendit Deus ab Abraham. |
| 23 | And Abraham took Ismael his son, and all that were born in his house: and all whom he had bought, every male among the men of his house: and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin forthwith the very same day, as God had commanded him. | Tulit autem Abraham Ismaël filium suum, et omnes vernaculos domus suae, universosque quos emerat, cunctos mares ex omnibus viris domus suae: et circumcidit carnem praeputii eorum statim in ipsa die, sicut praeceperat ei Deus. |
| 24 | Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin. | Abraham nonaginta et novem erat annorum quando circumcidit carnem praeputii sui. |
| 25 | And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision. | Et Ismaël filius tredecim annos impleverat tempore circumcisionis suae. |
| 26 | The selfsame day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his son. | Eadem die circumcisus est Abraham et Ismaël filius eius: |
| 27 | And all the men of his house, as well they that were born in his house, as the bought servants and strangers were circumcised with him. | et omnes viri domus illius, tam vernaculi, quam emptitii et alienigenae pariter circumcisi sunt. |
