創世記 17
1 亞巴郎九十九歲時，上主顯現給他，對他說：「我是全能的天主，你當在我面前行走，作個成全的人。
When Abram was nynetye yere olde and ix. the LORde apeared to hym sayenge: I am the almyghtie God: walke before me ad be vncorrupte.
2 我要與你立約，使你極其繁盛。」
And I wyll make my bonde betwene the and me and wyll multiplye the excedyngly.
3 亞巴郎遂俯伏在地；天主又對他說：
And Abra fell on his face. And God talked moreover with hym saynge:
4 「看，是我與你立約：你要成為萬民之父；
I am beholde my testamet is with the that thou shalt be a father of many natios.
5 以後，你不再叫做亞巴郎，要叫做亞巴辣罕，因為我已立定你為萬民之父，
Therfore shalt thou no more be called Abram but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made the
6 使你極其繁衍，成為一大民族，君王要由你而出。
and I will multiplye the excedyngly and wyll make nations of the: yee and kynges shall sprynge out of the.
7 我要在我與你和你歷代後裔之間，訂立我的約，當作永久的約，就是我要做你和你後裔的天主。
Moreover I will make my bonde betwene me and the and thy seed after the in their tymes to be an everlastynge testament So that I wyll be God vnto the and to thy seed after the.
8 我必將你現今僑居之地，即客納罕全地，賜給你和你的後裔做永久的產業；我要作他們的天主。」
And I will geue vnto the ad to thy seed after the the lande where in thou arte a straunger: Euen all the lande of Canaan for an everlastynge possession and wil be their God.
9 天主又對亞巴郎說：「你和你的後裔，世世代代應遵守我的約。
And God sayde vnto Abraha: Se thou kepe my testamente both thou and thy seed after the in their tymes:
10 這就是你們應遵守的，在我與你們以及你的後裔之間所立的約：你們中所有的男子都應受割損。
This is my testamente which ye shall kepe betwene me and you and thy seed after the that ye circucyse all youre men childern ye shall circumcyse
11 你們都應割去肉體上的包皮，作為我與你們之間的盟約的標記。
the foreskynne of youre flesh ad it shal be a token of the bond betwixte me and you.
12 你們中世世代代所有的男子，在生後八日都應受割損；連家中生的，或是用錢買來而不屬你種族的外方人，都應受割損。
And euery manchilde when it is viij. dayes olde shal be circucysed amonge you in youre generations and all servauntes also borne at home or boughte with money though they be straungers and not of thy seed.
13 凡在你家中生的，和你用錢買來的奴僕，都該受割損。這樣，我的約刻在你們肉體上作為永久的約。
The seruaunte borne in thy housse ad he also that is bought with money must needes be circumcysed that my testament may be in youre flesh for an everlastinge bonde.
14 凡未割去包皮，未受割損的男子，應由民間剷除；因他違犯了我的約。」
Yf there be any vncircuncysed manchilde that hath not the forskynne of his flesh cutt of his soule shall perish from his people: because he hath broke my testamet
15 天主又對亞巴郎說：「你的妻子撒辣依，你不要再叫她撒辣依，而要叫她撒辣。
And God sayde vnto Abraham. Sarai thy wyfe shall nomore be called Sarai: but Sara shall hir name be.
16 我必要祝福她，使她也給你生個兒子。我要祝福她，使她成為一大民族，人民的君王要由她而生。
For I will blesse her and geue the a sonne of her and will blesse her: so that people ye and kynges of people shall springe of her.
17 亞巴郎遂俯伏在地笑起來，心想：「百歲的人還能生子嗎﹖撒辣已九十歲，還能生子﹖」
And Abraham fell vpon his face ad laughte and sayd in his harte: shall a childe be borne vnto hym that is an hundred yere olde ad shall Sara that is nynetie yere olde bere?
18 亞巴郎對天主說：「只望依市瑪耳在你面前生存就夠了! 」
And Abraha sayde vnto God. O that Ismaell myghte lyve in thy syghte.
19 天主說：「你的妻子撒辣確要給你生個兒子，你要給他起名叫依撒格；我要與他和他的後裔，訂立我的約當作永久的約。
The sayde God: na Sara thy wife shall bere the a sonne ad thou shalt call his name Isaac. And I will make my bonde with him that it shall be an everlastynge bonde vnto his seed after him.
20 至於依市瑪耳，我也聽從你；我要祝福他，使他繁衍，極其昌盛。他要生十二個族長，我要使他成為一大民族。
And as concernynge Ismaell also I haue herde thy request: loo I will blesse him and encrease him and multiplye him excedyingly. Twelve prynces shall be begete and I will make a great nation of him.
21 但是我的約，我要與明年此時撒辣給你生的依撒格訂立。」
But my bonde will I make with Isaac which Sara shall bere vnto the: even this tyme twelue moneth.
22 天主同亞巴郎說完話，就離開他上升去了。
And God left of talkynge with him and departed vp from Abraham.
23 當天，亞巴郎就照天主所吩咐的，召集他的兒子依市瑪耳幾以及凡家中生的，和用錢買來的奴僕，即自己家中的一切男子，割去了他們肉體上的包皮。
And Abraham toke Ismaell his sonne and all the servauntes borne in his housse and all that was bought with money as many as were menchildren amonge the me of Abrahas housse and circumcysed the foreskynne of their flesh even the selfe same daye as God had sayde vnto him.
24 亞巴郎受割損時，已九十九歲；
Abraham was nynetie yere olde and. ix. when he cutt of the foreskynne of his flesh.
25 他的兒子，依市瑪耳受割損時，是十三歲。
And Ismaell his sonne was. xiij. yere olde when the foreskynne of hys flesh was circumcysed.
26 亞巴郎和他的兒子依市瑪耳在同日上受了割損。
The selfe same daye was Abraha circucised and Ismael his sonne.
27 他家中所有的男人，不論是家中生的，或是由外方人那裏用錢買來的奴僕，都與他一同受了割損。
And all the men in his housse whether they were borne in his housse or bought wyth money (though they were straungers) were circumcysed with him.
