Genesis 17
1 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.
Ketika Abram berumur 99 tahun, TUHAN menampakkan diri lagi kepadanya dan berkata, “Akulah Allah Yang Mahakuasa. Taatilah Aku dengan setia dan hiduplah dengan tidak bercela.
2 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]
Jika kamu melakukan itu, Aku akan meneguhkan perjanjian yang sudah Aku buat dengan kamu, dan Aku akan memberimu banyak keturunan.”
3 Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,
Lalu Abram bersujud, dan Allah berkata kepadanya,
4 “Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.
“Aku berjanji bahwa kamu akan menjadi bapak dari banyak bangsa.
5 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.
Oleh karena itu, namamu bukan lagi Abram, melainkan Abraham, sebab Aku sudah menetapkanmu sebagai bapak atas banyak bangsa.
6 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.
Aku akan memberikan anak cucu yang banyak kepadamu dan membuat mereka menjadi bangsa-bangsa. Di antara mereka, akan ada yang menjadi raja-raja.
7 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.
“Aku akan meneguhkan perjanjian-Ku denganmu. Aku juga akan meneruskan perjanjian itu kepada anak cucumu turun-temurun sampai selama-lamanya. Aku akan menjadi Allahmu dan Allah keturunanmu.
8 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].”
Aku akan memberikan tanah ini kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu, yaitu seluruh negeri Kanaan yang sekarang kamu diami sebagai pendatang. Semua itu akan menjadi milik anak cucumu untuk selama-lamanya. Aku akan menjadi Allah mereka.”
9 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.
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Abraham, “Sebagai tanda bahwa kamu dan anak cucumu turun-temurun setuju untuk mematuhi segala ketentuan dalam perjanjian dengan-Ku, kalian harus memenuhi syarat ini: Setiap laki-laki di antara keturunanmu harus disunat.
10 This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.
11 (Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.
Mulai sekarang, ketetapan-Ku ini akan berlaku secara turun-temurun. Setiap anak laki-laki dalam keluargamu harus disunat ketika berumur delapan hari. Begitu pula dengan para budakmu laki-laki, baik yang lahir di rumahmu maupun yang kamu beli dari orang lain. Sunat itu akan menjadi tanda bahwa kalian masing-masing sudah berjanji untuk menaati perjanjian antara Aku dan kalian.
12 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 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.
Baik anak yang lahir dari anggota keluargamu sendiri, maupun budak yang kamu beli, semua bayi laki-laki harus disunat. Sunat itu merupakan tanda pengingat bagi kalian masing-masing bahwa kalian sepakat untuk mengikuti segala syarat dalam perjanjian-Ku, yang terus berlaku sampai selama-lamanya.
14 You must expel from your community any male who has not been circumcised, because [by not being circumcised] that person has disobeyed my agreement.”
Setiap laki-laki yang tidak disunat harus disingkirkan dari antara umat yang taat pada perjanjian-Ku.”
15 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.
Kemudian TUHAN berkata lagi kepada Abraham, “Mengenai istrimu Sarai, janganlah kamu memanggilnya Sarai lagi, karena sekarang Aku mengubah namanya menjadi Sara.
16 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.”
Aku akan memberkatinya sehingga dia akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagimu. Sara akan menjadi ibu bangsa-bangsa. Di antara keturunannya akan ada yang menjadi raja-raja.”
17 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?”
Lalu bersujudlah Abraham, tetapi dia tertawa ketika berpikir, “Mungkinkah aku, yang sudah berumur 100 tahun ini, akan punya anak?! Lagipula Sara sudah 90 puluh tahun!”
18 Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”
Dia berkata kepada Allah, “Oh TUHAN, biarlah Ismael saja yang menjadi ahli warisku.”
19 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.
Tetapi jawab Allah, “Tidak! Sara akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagimu. Namailah dia Isak. Aku akan mewariskan perjanjian-Ku itu kepadanya dan kepada keturunannya sampai selama-lamanya.
20 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.
Mengenai permintaanmu untuk Ismael, Aku sudah mengabulkannya. Aku akan memberkatinya sehingga dia juga memiliki keturunan yang banyak. Aku akan membuat keturunannya menjadi bangsa yang besar, dan dua belas dari keturunannya akan menjadi raja atas dua belas bangsa.
21 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.”
Tetapi Aku akan meneguhkan perjanjian-Ku yang resmi itu dengan Isak. Sara akan melahirkan dia satu tahun dari sekarang.”
22 When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.
Sesudah Allah selesai berbicara kepada Abraham, Dia meninggalkannya.
23 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.
Hari itu juga, Abraham menyunat Ismael. Semua laki-laki di rumahnya— termasuk anak-anak laki-laki dari para budak yang sudah dibelinya— juga disunat. Dia melakukan tepat seperti yang sudah diperintahkan Allah kepadanya.
24 Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),
Abraham berumur 99 tahun ketika dia disunat,
25 and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.
dan Ismael berumur 13 tahun ketika Abraham menyunat dia.
26 On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.
Semua laki-laki dalam keluarga Abraham— baik yang lahir di rumahnya maupun yang dibeli dari orang asing— disunat bersama-sama dengannya pada hari yang sama.
27 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.
