Genesis 17

The Message Bible MSG

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, God showed up and said to him, "I am The Strong God, live entirely before me, live to the hilt!

2 I'll make a covenant between us and I'll give you a huge family."

3 Overwhelmed, Abram fell flat on his face.

4 "This is my covenant with you: You'll be the father of many nations.

5 Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, meaning that 'I'm making you the father of many nations.'

6 I'll make you a father of fathers - I'll make nations from you, kings will issue from you.

7 I'm establishing my covenant between me and you, a covenant that includes your descendants, a covenant that goes on and on and on, a covenant that commits me to be your God and the God of your descendants.

8 And I'm giving you and your descendants this land where you're now just camping, this whole country of Canaan, to own forever. And I'll be their God."

9 God continued to Abraham, "And you: You will honor my covenant, you and your descendants, generation after generation.

10 This is the covenant that you are to honor, the covenant that pulls in all your descendants: Circumcise every male.

11 Circumcise by cutting off the foreskin of the penis; it will be the sign of the covenant between us.

12 Every male baby will be circumcised when he is eight days old, generation after generation - this includes house-born slaves and slaves bought from outsiders who are not blood kin.

13 Make sure you circumcise both your own children and anyone brought in from the outside. That way my covenant will be cut into your body, a permanent mark of my permanent covenant.

14 An uncircumcised male, one who has not had the foreskin of his penis cut off, will be cut off from his people - he has broken my covenant."

15 God continued speaking to Abraham, "And Sarai your wife: Don't call her Sarai any longer; call her Sarah.

16 I'll bless her - yes! I'll give you a son by her! Oh, how I'll bless her! Nations will come from her; kings of nations will come from her."

17 Abraham fell flat on his face. And then he laughed, thinking, "Can a hundred-year-old man father a son? And can Sarah, at ninety years, have a baby?"

18 Recovering, Abraham said to God, "Oh, keep Ishmael alive and well before you!"

19 But God said, "That's not what I mean. Your wife, Sarah, will have a baby, a son. Name him Isaac (Laughter). I'll establish my covenant with him and his descendants, a covenant that lasts forever.

20 "And Ishmael? Yes, I heard your prayer for him. I'll also bless him; I'll make sure he has plenty of children - a huge family. He'll father twelve princes; I'll make him a great nation.

21 But I'll establish my covenant with Isaac whom Sarah will give you about this time next year."

22 God finished speaking with Abraham and left.

23 Then Abraham took his son Ishmael and all his servants, whether houseborn or purchased - every male in his household - and circumcised them, cutting off their foreskins that very day, just as God had told him.

24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised.

25 His son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised.

26 Abraham and Ishmael were circumcised the same day

27 together with all the servants of his household, those born there and those purchased from outsiders - all were circumcised with him.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 postquam vero nonaginta et novem annorum esse coeperat apparuit ei Dominus dixitque ad eum ego Deus omnipotens ambula coram me et esto perfectus

2 ponamque foedus meum inter me et te et multiplicabo te vehementer nimis

3 cecidit Abram pronus in faciem

4 dixitque ei Deus ego sum et pactum meum tecum erisque pater multarum gentium

5 nec ultra vocabitur nomen tuum Abram sed appellaberis Abraham quia patrem multarum gentium constitui te

6 faciamque te crescere vehementissime et ponam in gentibus regesque ex te egredientur

7 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 daboque tibi et semini tuo terram peregrinationis tuae omnem terram Chanaan in possessionem aeternam eroque Deus eorum

9 dixit iterum Deus ad Abraham et tu ergo custodies pactum meum et semen tuum post te in generationibus suis

10 hoc est pactum quod observabitis inter me et vos et semen tuum post te circumcidetur ex vobis omne masculinum

11 et circumcidetis carnem praeputii vestri ut sit in signum foederis inter me et vos

12 infans octo dierum circumcidetur in vobis omne masculinum in generationibus vestris tam vernaculus quam empticius circumcidetur et quicumque non fuerit de stirpe vestra

13 eritque pactum meum in carne vestra in foedus aeternum

14 masculus cuius praeputii caro circumcisa non fuerit delebitur anima illa de populo suo quia pactum meum irritum fecit

15 dixit quoque Deus ad Abraham Sarai uxorem tuam non vocabis Sarai sed Sarram

16 et benedicam ei et ex illa dabo tibi filium cui benedicturus sum eritque in nationes et reges populorum orientur ex eo

17 cecidit Abraham in faciem et risit dicens in corde suo putasne centenario nascetur filius et Sarra nonagenaria pariet

18 dixitque ad Deum utinam Ismahel vivat coram te

19 et ait Deus ad Abraham Sarra uxor tua pariet tibi filium vocabisque nomen eius Isaac et constituam pactum meum illi in foedus sempiternum et semini eius post eum

20 super Ismahel quoque exaudivi te ecce benedicam ei et augebo et multiplicabo eum valde duodecim duces generabit et faciam illum in gentem magnam

21 pactum vero meum statuam ad Isaac quem pariet tibi Sarra tempore isto in anno altero

22 cumque finitus esset sermo loquentis cum eo ascendit Deus ab Abraham

23 tulit autem Abraham Ismahelem 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 nonaginta novem erat annorum quando circumcidit carnem praeputii sui

25 et Ismahel filius eius tredecim annos impleverat tempore circumcisionis suae

26 eadem die circumcisus est Abraham et Ismahel filius eius

27 et omnes viri domus illius tam vernaculi quam empticii et alienigenae pariter circumcisi sunt
