< 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,
亚伯兰年九十九岁的时候,耶和华向他显现,对他说:“我是全能的 神。你当在我面前作完全人,
2 And I will make my couenant betweene me and thee, and I will multiplie thee exceedingly.
我就与你立约,使你的后裔极其繁多。”
3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
亚伯兰俯伏在地; 神又对他说:
4 Beholde, I make my couenant with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations,
“我与你立约:你要作多国的父。
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.
从此以后,你的名不再叫亚伯兰,要叫亚伯拉罕,因为我已立你作多国的父。
6 Also I will make thee exceeding fruitfull, and will make nations of thee: yea, Kings shall proceede of thee.
我必使你的后裔极其繁多;国度从你而立,君王从你而出。
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.
我要与你并你世世代代的后裔坚立我的约,作永远的约,是要作你和你后裔的 神。
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.
我要将你现在寄居的地,就是迦南全地,赐给你和你的后裔永远为业,我也必作他们的 神。”
9 Againe God said vnto Abraham, Thou also shalt keepe my couenant, thou, and thy seede after thee in their generations.
神又对亚伯拉罕说:“你和你的后裔必世世代代遵守我的约。
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:
你们所有的男子都要受割礼;这就是我与你并你的后裔所立的约,是你们所当遵守的。
11 That is, ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shalbe a signe of the couenant betweene me and you.
你们都要受割礼;这是我与你们立约的证据。
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.
你们世世代代的男子,无论是家里生的,是在你后裔之外用银子从外人买的,生下来第八日,都要受割礼。
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.
你家里生的和你用银子买的,都必须受割礼。这样,我的约就立在你们肉体上作永远的约。
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.
但不受割礼的男子必从民中剪除,因他背了我的约。”
15 Afterward God said vnto Abraham, Sarai thy wife shalt thou not call Sarai, but Sarah shalbe her name.
神又对亚伯拉罕说:“你的妻子撒莱不可再叫撒莱,她的名要叫撒拉。
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.
我必赐福给她,也要使你从她得一个儿子。我要赐福给她,她也要作多国之母;必有百姓的君王从她而出。”
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?
亚伯拉罕就俯伏在地喜笑,心里说:“一百岁的人还能得孩子吗?撒拉已经九十岁了,还能生养吗?”
18 And Abraham saide vnto God, Oh, that Ishmael might liue in thy sight.
亚伯拉罕对 神说:“但愿以实玛利活在你面前。”
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.
神说:“不然,你妻子撒拉要给你生一个儿子,你要给他起名叫以撒。我要与他坚定所立的约,作他后裔永远的约。
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.
至于以实玛利,我也应允你:我必赐福给他,使他昌盛,极其繁多。他必生十二个族长;我也要使他成为大国。
21 But my couenant will I establish with Izhak, which Sarah shall beare vnto thee, the next yeere at this season.
到明年这时节,撒拉必给你生以撒,我要与他坚定所立的约。”
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went vp from Abraham.
神和亚伯拉罕说完了话,就离开他上升去了。
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.
正当那日,亚伯拉罕遵着 神的命,给他的儿子以实玛利和家里的一切男子,无论是在家里生的,是用银子买的,都行了割礼。
24 Abraham also himselfe was ninetie yeere olde and nine, when the foreskinne of his flesh was circumcised.
亚伯拉罕受割礼的时候年九十九岁。
25 And Ishmael his sonne was thirteene yeere olde, when the foreskinne of his flesh was circumcised.
他儿子以实玛利受割礼的时候年十三岁。
26 The selfe same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his sonne:
正当那日,亚伯拉罕和他儿子以实玛利一同受了割礼。
27 And all the men of his house, both borne in his house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
家里所有的人,无论是在家里生的,是用银子从外人买的,也都一同受了割礼。
