1 Mojžišova 17
1 Když pak Abram byl v devadesáti devíti letech, ukázal se mu Hospodin, a řekl jemu: Já jsem Bůh silný všemohoucí; chodiž ustavičně přede mnou a budiž dokonalým.
When Abram was 99 years old, Yahweh appeared to him again and said to him, “I am God Almighty. I want you to live in a way that I will regard you as someone that cannot be criticized.
2 A učiním smlouvu svou mezi sebou a tebou a rozmnožím tě náramně velmi.
If you do that, I will make an agreement with you in which I will promise to enable you to have very many descendants.” [MTY]
3 Padl pak Abram na tvář svou; i mluvil Bůh s ním, řka:
Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,
4 Jáť jsem, aj, smlouva má s tebou, a budeš otcem národů mnohých.
“Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.
5 Aniž více slouti bude jméno tvé Abram, ale bude jméno tvé Abraham; nebo otcem mnohých národů učinil jsem tě.
And no longer will your name be Abram. Instead, your name will be Abraham, [which means ‘father of many nations,’] because the people of many nations will descend from you.
6 A učiním, abys se rozplodil náramně velmi, a rozšířím tě v národy; i králové z tebe vyjdou.
I will enable you to have very many descendants, and I will cause them to become great nations/people-groups, and some of your descendants will become kings.
7 Utvrdím také smlouvu svou mezi sebou a tebou, i mezi semenem tvým po tobě, po rodech jejich, za smlouvu věčnou, totiž abych byl Bohem tvým i semene tvého po tobě.
I will make this agreement between me and you and your descendants. It will be an everlasting agreement to be in effect for many generations. This agreement is that I will be your God, and the God of your descendants.
8 Nadto dám tobě i semeni tvému po tobě zemi, v nížto obýváš pohostinu, všecku zemi Kananejskou k vládařství věčnému; a budu jejich Bohem.
I will give to you and to your descendants the land through which you are now traveling, all of the Canaan region. It will be an everlasting possession for your descendants, and I will be the God that they [will worship].”
9 Řekl ještě Bůh Abrahamovi: Ty pak ostříhati budeš smlouvy mé, ty i símě tvé po tobě, po rodech svých.
Then God said to Abraham, “Now you must obey [your part of] the agreement that I am making with you, and your descendants must also obey it, for all generations.
10 Tatoť jest smlouva má mezi mnou a mezi vámi, i mezi semenem tvým po tobě, kteréž ostříhati budete: Aby obřezán byl mezi vámi každý pohlaví mužského.
This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.
11 Obřežete pak tělo hanby své; a to bude znamením smlouvy mezi mnou a mezi vámi.
(Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.
12 Každý tedy pohlaví mužského osmého dne obřezán bude mezi vámi po rodech vašich, doma narozený i koupený za stříbro, z kterých by koli cizozemců byl, jenž není z semene tvého.
Every male child among you must be circumcised when he is eight days old, in all future generations. That includes baby boys in your household or those born from slaves that have been bought, and baby boys of foreigners who live among you but do not belong to your household.
13 Konečně ať jest obřezán narozený v domě tvém, i koupený za peníze tvé; a budeť smlouva má na těle vašem za smlouvu věčnou.
It does not matter whether their parents are members of your household or slaves that have been bought; they must all be circumcised. Your bodies will have this mark to show [you have accepted] this everlasting agreement I am making.
14 Neobřezaný pak pacholík, kterýž by neobřezal těla neobřízky své, vyhlazena zajisté bude duše ta z lidu svého; nebo smlouvu mou zrušil.
You must expel from your community any male who has not been circumcised, because [by not being circumcised] that person has disobeyed my agreement.”
15 Řekl také Bůh Abrahamovi: Sarai manželce své nebudeš říkati Sarai, ale Sára bude jméno její.
God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai, your wife, you must not call her Sarai any longer. [Since I changed your name, I will change her name also]. Her name will now be Sarah.
16 Nebo požehnám jí a dámť z ní syna; požehnámť jí, a bude v národy; králové národů z ní vyjdou.
I will bless her, and she will surely give birth to a son for you. And I will bless her so much that she will be the ancestor of people of many nations. Kings of some people-groups will be descended from her.”
17 Tedy padl Abraham na tvář svou, a zasmáv se, řekl v srdci svém: Zdali stoletému narodí se syn? A zdali Sára v devadesáti letech porodí?
Abraham prostrated himself with his face on the ground [to show respect to God]. But then he laughed as he said to himself, “Can a man who is a 100 years old become a father of a son? And since Sarah is 90 years old, how can she bear a child?”
18 I řekl Abraham Bohu: Ó byť jen Izmael živ byl před tebou!
Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”
19 Jemužto řekl Bůh: Nýbrž Sára manželka tvá porodí tobě syna, a nazůveš jméno jeho Izák; i utvrdím smlouvu svou s ním za smlouvu věčnou, i s semenem jeho po něm.
Then God replied, “[No!] Your wife Sarah will bear a son for you. You must name him Isaac. I will establish my agreement with him, one which will be an everlasting agreement for him and his descendants.
20 Také o Izmaele uslyšel jsem tě; a aj, požehnám jemu, a učiním to, aby se rozplodil, a rozmnožím ho náramně velmi; dvanáctero knížat zplodí, a rozšířím jej v národ veliký.
As for Ishmael, I have heard what you asked me to do for him. I will bless him so that he also will have many descendants. Among his descendants will be rulers of twelve nations. And I will cause his [descendants] [MTY] to also become a great nation.
21 Ale smlouvu svou utvrdím s Izákem, kteréhožť porodí Sára po roce, při tomto času.
But Isaac, the son whom Sarah will give birth to at this time next year, is the one with whom I will establish my agreement.”
22 A když dokonal Bůh řeč svou s ním, vstoupil od Abrahama.
When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.
23 Vzal tedy Abraham Izmaele syna svého, i všecky zrozené v domě svém, i všecky koupené za stříbro své, každého, kdož byl pohlaví mužského, z domácích svých, a obřezal tělo neobřízky jejich hned v ten den, jakž s ním Bůh mluvil.
On that same day, Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the males that were in his household, including the sons of all the slaves he had bought, and circumcised them. He cut off their foreskins, just as God told him to do.
24 A byl Abraham v devadesáti devíti letech, když obřezáno bylo tělo neobřízky jeho.
Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),
25 Izmael pak syn jeho byl v třinácti letech, když obřezáno bylo tělo neobřízky jeho.
and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.
26 Jednoho a téhož dne obřezáni jsou, Abraham a Izmael syn jeho.
On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.
27 I všickni domácí jeho, doma zrození i za stříbro od cizozemce koupení, obřezáni jsou s ním.
And all the males in his household, the ones who had been born there and those who had been bought from foreigners, were also circumcised.
