اَلتَّكْوِينُ 17

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

And Abram is a son of ninety-nine years, and YHWH appears to Abram, and says to him, “I [am] God Almighty, habitually walk before Me, and be perfect;

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

and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”

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

And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,

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

“I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;

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

and your name is no longer called Abram, but your name has been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you;

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

and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.

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

And I have established My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant, to become God to you, and to your seed after you;

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

and I have given to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a continuous possession, and I have become their God.”

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

And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout their generations;

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

this [is] My covenant which you keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: every male of you [is] to be circumcised;

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

and you have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a token of a 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.

And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male throughout your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of your seed;

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

he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in your house, or bought with your money; and My covenant has become in your flesh a perpetual covenant;

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

and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people; My covenant he has broken.”

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

And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

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

and I have blessed her, and have also given to you a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she has become nations—kings of peoples are from her.”

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

And Abraham falls on his face, and laughs, and says in his heart, “Is one born to the son of one hundred years? Or does Sarah—daughter of ninety years—bear?”

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

And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”;

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

and God says, “Your wife Sarah is certainly bearing a son to you, and you have called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a perpetual covenant, to his seed 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; behold, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes does he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

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

and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;

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

and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham.

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.

And Abraham takes his son Ishmael, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money—every male among the men of Abraham’s house and circumcises the flesh of their foreskin, in this very same day, as God has spoken with him.

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

And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

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

and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

٢٦ 26 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ خُتِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ٱبْنُهُ.

in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;

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

and all the men of his house—born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger—have been circumcised with him.
