Genesis 17

1 And he was Abram a son of ninety year[s] and nine years and he appeared Yahweh to Abram and he said to him I [am] God Almighty walk about before me and be blameless.

When Abram was 99, the Lord appeared to him and told him, “I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and don't do wrong.

2 So let me make covenant my between me and between you so I may increase you with muchness muchness.

I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”

3 And he fell Abram on face his and he spoke with him God saying.

Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God told him,

4 I here! covenant my [is] with you and you will become a father of a multitude of nations.

“Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,

5 And not it will be called again name your Abram and it will be name your Abraham for a father of a multitude of nations I have made you.

so your name won't be Abram any longer. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I'm going to make you the father of many nations.

6 And I will make fruitful you with muchness muchness and I will make you into nations and kings from you they will come out.

I will make sure you have a large number of descendants. They will become many nations, and some of their kings will also come from your line.

7 And I will establish covenant my between me and between you and between offspring your after you for generations their to a covenant of perpetuity to become for you God and for offspring your after you.

I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.

8 And I will give to you and to offspring your after you - [the] land of sojournings your all [the] land of Canaan to a possession of perpetuity and I will become for them God.

I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”

9 And he said God to Abraham and you covenant my you will keep you and offspring your after you for generations their.

Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.

10 This [is] covenant my which you will keep between me and between you and between offspring your after you they will be circumcised of you every male.

This is my agreement with you and your descendants who come after you, the agreement you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised.

11 And you will be circumcised [the] flesh of foreskin your and it will become a sign of [the] covenant between me and between you.

You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.

12 And a son of eight days he will be circumcised of you every male for generations your one born of [the] household and a purchase of silver from every son of foreignness who not [is] one of offspring your he.

From now and for all generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. This includes not only your sons but also those born in your household or bought from foreigners.

13 Definitely - he will be circumcised [the] one born of household your and [the] purchase of silver your and it will be covenant my in flesh your to a covenant of perpetuity.

You must circumcise those born in your household or bought from foreigners as a sign in your bodies of my eternal agreement.

14 And an uncircumcised - male who not he will be circumcised [the] flesh of foreskin his and it will be cut off the person that from kinspeople its covenant my he has broken.

Any uncircumcised male who refuses circumcision will be excluded from his people because he has broken my agreement.”

15 And he said God to Abraham Sarai wife your not you will call name her Sarai for [is] Sarah name her.

Then God told Abraham, “Now about Sarai your wife. Don't call her Sarai any longer. Instead, her name will be Sarah.

16 And I will bless her and also I will give from her to you a son and I will bless her and she will become nations kings of peoples from her they will be.

I will bless her and I promise to give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations, and kings will be among her descendants.”

17 And he fell Abraham on face his and he laughed and he said in heart his ¿ to a son of one hundred year[s] will he be born and or? Sarah ¿ a daughter of ninety year[s] will she bear a child.

Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground. But inside he was laughing, asking himself, “How on earth could I have a son at the age of one hundred? How could Sarah have a child when she is ninety?”

18 And he said Abraham to God if Ishmael he will live before you.

Abraham said to God, “May Ishmael always live under your blessing!”

19 And he said God but Sarah wife your [is] about to bear to you a son and you will call name his Isaac and I will establish covenant my with him to a covenant of perpetuity for offspring his after him.

“No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement.

20 And to Ishmael I have heard you here! - I will bless him and I will make fruitful him and I will multiply him with muchness muchness two [plus] ten princes he will father and I will make him into a nation great.

Now about Ishmael. I heard what you said, and I will also bless him. I will make sure he has a great many descendants. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.

21 And covenant my I will establish with Isaac whom she will bear to you Sarah to the time this in the year following.

But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”

22 And he finished to speak with him and he went up God from with Abraham.

When God had finished speaking with Abraham he left him.

23 And he took Abraham Ishmael son his and all those born of household his and all [the] purchase of silver his every male among [the] men of [the] household of Abraham and he circumcised [the] flesh of foreskin their on [the] substance of the day this just as he had spoken with him God.

That day Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael as well as all those born in his household or purchased, in fact every male among the members of Abraham's household, just as God had told him.

24 And Abraham [was] a son of ninety and nine year[s] when was circumcised he [the] flesh of foreskin his.

Abraham was 99 when he was circumcised,

25 And Ishmael son his [was] a son of thir-teen year[s] when was circumcised he [the] flesh of foreskin his.

and his son Ishmael was thirteen.

26 On [the] substance of the day this he was circumcised Abraham and Ishmael son his.

Both Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.

27 And all [the] men of household his one born of [the] household and a purchase of silver from with a son of foreignness they were circumcised with him.

All the males in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or purchased from foreigners, were circumcised with him.
