Genesis 17
1 When Abram was ninetie yeere olde and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said vnto him, I am God all sufficient. walke before me, and be thou vpright,
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。
2 And I will make my couenant betweene me and thee, and I will multiplie thee exceedingly.
我要與你立約，使你極其繁盛。」
3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
亞巴郎遂俯伏在地；天主又對他說：
4 Beholde, I make my couenant with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations,
「看，是我與你立約：你要成為萬民之父；
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made thee.
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，
6 Also I will make thee exceeding fruitfull, and will make nations of thee: yea, Kings shall proceede of thee.
使你極其繁衍，成為一大民族，君王要由你而出。
7 Moreouer I wil establish my couenant betweene me and thee, and thy seede after thee in their generations, for an euerlasting couenant, to be God vnto thee and to thy seede after thee.
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。
8 And I will giue thee and thy seede after thee the land, wherein thou art a stranger, euen all the land of Canaan, for an euerlasting possession, and I will be their God.
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。」
9 Againe God said vnto Abraham, Thou also shalt keepe my couenant, thou, and thy seede after thee in their generations.
天主又對亞巴郎說：「你和你的後裔，世世代代應遵守我的約。
10 This is my couenant which ye shall keepe betweene me and you, and thy seede after thee, Let euery man childe among you be circumcised:
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。
11 That is, ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shalbe a signe of the couenant betweene me and you.
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。
12 And euery man childe of eight dayes olde among you, shalbe circumcised in your generations, aswell he that is borne in thine house, as he that is bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seede.
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。
13 He that is borne in thine house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needes be circumcised: so my couenant shall be in your flesh for an euerlasting couenant.
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。
14 But the vncircumcised man childe, in whose flesh the foreskin is not circumcised, euen that person shall be cut off from his people, because he hath broken my couenant.
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。」
15 Afterward God said vnto Abraham, Sarai thy wife shalt thou not call Sarai, but Sarah shalbe her name.
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。
16 And I will blesse her, and will also giue thee a sonne of her, yea, I will blesse her, and she shall be the mother of nations: Kings also of people shall come of her.
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。
17 Then Abraham fell vpon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a childe be borne vnto him, that is an hundreth yeere olde? and shall Sarah that is ninetie yeere olde beare?
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﹖」
18 And Abraham saide vnto God, Oh, that Ishmael might liue in thy sight.
亞巴郎對天主說：「只望依市瑪耳在你面前生存就夠了! 」
19 Then God saide, Sarah thy wife shall beare thee a sonne in deede, and thou shalt call his name Izhak: and I will establish my couenant with him for an euerlasting couenant, and with his seede after him.
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。
20 And as concerning Ishmael, I haue heard thee: loe, I haue blessed him, and will make him fruitfull, and will multiplie him exceedingly: twelue princes shall he beget, and I will make a great nation of him.
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。
21 But my couenant will I establish with Izhak, which Sarah shall beare vnto thee, the next yeere at this season.
但是我的約，我要與明年此時撒辣給你生的依撒格訂立。」
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went vp from Abraham.
天主同亞巴郎說完話，就離開他上升去了。
23 Then Abraham tooke Ishmael his sonne and all that were borne in his house, and all that was bought with his money, that is, euery man childe among the men of Abrahams house, and he circumcised the foreskinne of their flesh in that selfe same day, as God had comaunded him.
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。
24 Abraham also himselfe was ninetie yeere olde and nine, when the foreskinne of his flesh was circumcised.
亞巴郎受割損時，已九十九歲；
25 And Ishmael his sonne was thirteene yeere olde, when the foreskinne of his flesh was circumcised.
他的兒子，依市瑪耳受割損時，是十三歲。
26 The selfe same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his sonne:
亞巴郎和他的兒子依市瑪耳在同日上受了割損。
27 And all the men of his house, both borne in his house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
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。
