Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.
1Postquam vero nonaginta et novem annorum esse cœperat, apparuit ei Dominus, dixitque ad eum: Ego Deus omnipotens: ambula coram me, et esto perfectus.
2I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”
2Ponamque fœdus meum inter me et te, et multiplicabo te vehementer nimis.
3Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,
3Cecidit Abram pronus in faciem.
4“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.
4Dixitque ei Deus: Ego sum, et pactum meum tecum, erisque pater multarum gentium.
5No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.
5Nec ultra vocabitur nomen tuum Abram, sed appellaberis Abraham: quia patrem multarum gentium constitui te.
6I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.
6Faciamque te crescere vehementissime, et ponam te in gentibus, regesque ex te egredientur.
7I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
7Et 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.
8And to you and your descendants I will give the land where you are residing—all the land of Canaan—as an eternal possession; and I will be their God.”
8Daboque tibi et semini tuo terram peregrinationis tuæ, omnem terram Chanaan in possessionem æternam, eroque Deus eorum.
9God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.
9Dixit iterum Deus ad Abraham: Et tu ergo custodies pactum meum, et semen tuum post te in generationibus suis.
10This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.
10Hoc est pactum meum quod observabitis inter me et vos, et semen tuum post te: circumcidetur ex vobis omne masculinum:
11You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
11et circumcidetis carnem præputii vestri, ut sit in signum fœderis inter me et vos.
12Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner—even those who are not your offspring.
12Infans octo dierum circumcidetur in vobis, omne masculinum in generationibus vestris: tam vernaculus, quam emptitius circumcidetur, et quicumque non fuerit de stirpe vestra:
13Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.
13eritque pactum meum in carne vestra in fœdus æternum.
14But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
14Masculus, cujus præputii caro circumcisa non fuerit, delebitur anima illa de populo suo: quia pactum meum irritum fecit.
15Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.
15Dixit quoque Deus ad Abraham: Sarai uxorem tuam non vocabis Sarai, sed Saram.
16And I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her.”
16Et benedicam ei, et ex illa dabo tibi filium cui benedicturus sum: eritque in nationes, et reges populorum orientur ex eo.
17Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”
17Cecidit Abraham in faciem suam, et risit, dicens in corde suo: Putasne centenario nascetur filius? et Sara nonagenaria pariet?
18And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”
18Dixitque ad Deum: Utinam Ismaël vivat coram te.
19But God replied, “Your wife Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
19Et ait Deus ad Abraham: Sara uxor tua pariet tibi filium, vocabisque nomen ejus Isaac, et constituam pactum meum illi in fœdus sempiternum, et semini ejus post eum.
20As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.
20Super Ismaël quoque exaudivi te: ecce, benedicam ei, et augebo, et multiplicabo eum valde: duodecim duces generabit, et faciam illum in gentem magnam.
21But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”
21Pactum vero meum statuam ad Isaac, quem pariet tibi Sara tempore isto in anno altero.
22When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
22Cumque finitus esset sermo loquentis cum eo, ascendit Deus ab Abraham.
23On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised them, just as God had told him.
23Tulit autem Abraham Ismaël 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.
24So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,
24Abraham nonaginta et novem erat annorum quando circumcidit carnem præputii sui.
25and his son Ishmael was thirteen;
25Et Ismaël filius tredecim annos impleverat tempore circumcisionis suæ.
26Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
26Eadem die circumcisus est Abraham et Ismaël filius ejus:
27And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
27et omnes viri domus illius, tam vernaculi, quam emptitii et alienigenæ pariter circumcisi sunt.
