اَلتَّكْوِينُ 17

١ 1 وَلَمَّا كَانَ أَبْرَامُ ٱبْنَ تِسْعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ سَنَةً ظَهَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا ٱللهُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ. سِرْ أَمَامِي وَكُنْ كَامِلًا،

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.

٢ 2 فَأَجْعَلَ عَهْدِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَأُكَثِّرَكَ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا».

I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”

٣ 3 فَسَقَطَ أَبْرَامُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ. وَتَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ مَعَهُ قَائِلًا:

Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,

٤ 4 «أَمَّا أَنَا فَهُوَذَا عَهْدِي مَعَكَ، وَتَكُونُ أَبًا لِجُمْهُورٍ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ،

“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

٥ 5 فَلَا يُدْعَى ٱسْمُكَ بَعْدُ أَبْرَامَ بَلْ يَكُونُ ٱسْمُكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، لِأَنِّي أَجْعَلُكَ أَبًا لِجُمْهُورٍ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

٦ 6 وَأُثْمِرُكَ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَأَجْعَلُكَ أُمَمًا، وَمُلُوكٌ مِنْكَ يَخْرُجُونَ.

I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.

٧ 7 وَأُقِيمُ عَهْدِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ، عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا، لِأَكُونَ إِلَهًا لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ.

I 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.

٨ 8 وَأُعْطِي لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ، كُلَّ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ مُلْكًا أَبَدِيًّا. وَأَكُونُ إِلَهَهُمْ».

And 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.”

٩ 9 وَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَحْفَظُ عَهْدِي، أَنْتَ وَنَسْلُكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ.

God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.

١٠ 10 هَذَا هُوَ عَهْدِي ٱلَّذِي تَحْفَظُونَهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ: يُخْتَنُ مِنْكُمْ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ،

This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.

١١ 11 فَتُخْتَنُونَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِكُمْ، فَيَكُونُ عَلَامَةَ عَهْدٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ.

You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

١٢ 12 اِبْنَ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ يُخْتَنُ مِنْكُمْ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ: وَلِيدُ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَٱلْمُبْتَاعُ بِفِضَّةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱبْنِ غَرِيبٍ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ.

Generation 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.

١٣ 13 يُخْتَنُ خِتَانًا وَلِيدُ بَيْتِكَ وَٱلْمُبْتَاعُ بِفِضَّتِكَ، فَيَكُونُ عَهْدِي فِي لَحْمِكُمْ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا.

Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا ٱلذَّكَرُ ٱلْأَغْلَفُ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُخْتَنُ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِهِ فَتُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسُ مِنْ شَعْبِهَا. إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَكَثَ عَهْدِي».

But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

١٥ 15 وَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «سَارَايُ ٱمْرَأَتُكَ لَا تَدْعُو ٱسْمَهَا سَارَايَ، بَلِ ٱسْمُهَا سَارَةُ.

Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.

١٦ 16 وَأُبَارِكُهَا وَأُعْطِيكَ أَيْضًا مِنْهَا ٱبْنًا. أُبَارِكُهَا فَتَكُونُ أُمَمًا، وَمُلُوكُ شُعُوبٍ مِنْهَا يَكُونُونَ».

And 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.”

١٧ 17 فَسَقَطَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَضَحِكَ، وَقَالَ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «هَلْ يُولَدُ لِٱبْنِ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ؟ وَهَلْ تَلِدُ سَارَةُ وَهِيَ بِنْتُ تِسْعِينَ سَنَةً؟».

Abraham 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?”

١٨ 18 وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِلهِ: «لَيْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَعِيشُ أَمَامَكَ!».

And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «بَلْ سَارَةُ ٱمْرَأَتُكَ تَلِدُ لَكَ ٱبْنًا وَتَدْعُو ٱسْمَهُ إِسْحَاقَ. وَأُقِيمُ عَهْدِي مَعَهُ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا لِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ.

But 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.

٢٠ 20 وَأَمَّا إِسْمَاعِيلُ فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ لَكَ فِيهِ. هَا أَنَا أُبَارِكُهُ وَأُثْمِرُهُ وَأُكَثِّرُهُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا. اِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَئِيسًا يَلِدُ، وَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً.

As 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.

٢١ 21 وَلَكِنْ عَهْدِي أُقِيمُهُ مَعَ إِسْحَاقَ ٱلَّذِي تَلِدُهُ لَكَ سَارَةُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْآتِيَةِ».

But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”

٢٢ 22 فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ مَعَهُ صَعِدَ ٱللهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.

٢٣ 23 فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ٱبْنَهُ، وَجَمِيعَ وِلْدَانِ بَيْتِهِ، وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْمُبْتَاعِينَ بِفِضَّتِهِ، كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَخَتَنَ لَحْمَ غُرْلَتِهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ كَمَا كَلَّمَهُ ٱللهُ.

On 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.

٢٤ 24 وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ٱبْنَ تِسْعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ خُتِنَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِهِ،

So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

٢٥ 25 وَكَانَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ٱبْنُهُ ٱبْنَ ثَلَاثَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ خُتِنَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِهِ.

and his son Ishmael was thirteen;

٢٦ 26 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ خُتِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ٱبْنُهُ.

Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.

٢٧ 27 وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ بَيْتِهِ وِلْدَانِ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَٱلْمُبْتَاعِينَ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْغَرِيبِ خُتِنُوا مَعَهُ.

And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
