O that Ishmael might live before Utinam Ismael vivat coram to. (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
18. And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
18. Et dixit Abraham ad Deum, Utinam Ismael vivat coram to.
19. 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.
19. Et dixit Deus, Vere Sarah uxor tua pariet tibi filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Isaac: et statuam pactum meum cum eo in pactum perpetuum, et cum semine ejus post eum.
20. 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.
20. Et pro Ismael audivi to: ecce, benedixi ei, et crescere faciam eum, et multiplicare faciam eum supra modum: duodecim principes generabit, et ponam eum in gentem magnam.
21. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
21. Et pactum meum statuam cum Isaac, quem pariet tibi Sarah in tempore hoc, anno altero.
22. And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
22. Et finivit loqui cum co, et ascendit Deus ab Abraham.
23. 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.
23. Tunc Abraham tulit Ismael filium suum, et omnes vernas domus suae, et omnem acquisitum argento suo: omnis masculi in viris domus suae circumcidit carnem praeputii eorum in ipsomet die, sicut loquutus fuerat cum eo Deus.
24. And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
24. Abraham autem erat vir nonaginta et novem annorum, quando circumcisa fuit carno praeputii ipsius.
