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.
アブラム九十九歳の時ヱホバ、アブラムに顯れて之に言たまひけるは我は全能の神なり汝我前に行みて完全かれよ
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]
我わが契約を我と汝の間に立て大に汝の子孫を増ん
3 Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,
アブラム乃ち俯伏たり神又彼に告て言たまひけるは
4 “Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.
我汝とわが契約を立つ汝は衆多の國民の父となるべし
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.
汝の名を此後アブラムと呼ぶべからず汝の名をアブラハム（衆多の人の父）とよぶべし其は我汝を衆多の國民の父と爲ばなり
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.
我汝をして衆多の子孫を得せしめ國々の民を汝より起さん王等汝より出べし
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.
我わが契約を我と汝および汝の後の世々の子孫との間に立て永久の契約となし汝および汝の後の子孫の神となるべし
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].”
我汝と汝の後の子孫に此汝が寄寓る地即ちカナンの全地を與へて永久の産業となさん而して我彼等の神となるべし
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.
神またアブラハムに言たまひけるは然ば汝と汝の後の世々の子孫わが契約を守るべし
10 This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.
汝等の中の男子は咸割禮を受べし是は我と汝等および汝の後の子孫の間の我が契約にして汝等の守るべき者なり
11 (Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.
汝等其陽の皮を割べし是我と汝等の間の契約の徴なり
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.
汝等の代々の男子は家に生れたる者も異邦人より金にて買たる汝の子孫ならざる者も皆生れて八日に至らば割禮を受べし
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.
汝の家に生れたる者も汝の金にて買たる者も割禮を受ざるべからず斯我契約汝等の身にありて永久の契約となるべし
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.”
割禮を受ざる男兒即ち其陽の皮を割ざる者は我契約を破るによりて其人其民の中より絶るべし
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.
神又アブラハムの言たまひけるは汝の妻サライは其名をサライと稱ぶべからず其名をサラと爲べし
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.”
我彼を祝み彼よりして亦汝に一人の男子を授けん我彼を祝み彼をして諸邦の民の母とならしむべし諸の民の王等彼より出べし
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?”
アブラハム俯伏て哂ひ其心に謂けるは百歳の人に豈で子の生るることあらんや又サラは九十歳なれば豈で産ことをなさんやと
18 Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”
アブラハム遂に神にむかひて願くはイシマエルの汝のまへに生存へんことをと曰ふ
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.
神言たまひけるは汝の妻サラ必ず子を生ん汝其名をイサクと名くべし我彼および其後の子孫と契約を立て永久の契約となさん
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.
又イシマエルの事に關ては我汝の願を聽たり視よ我彼を祝みて多衆の子孫を得さしめ大に彼の子孫を増すべし彼十二の君王を生ん我彼を大なる國民となすべし
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.”
然どわが契約は我翌年の今頃サラが汝に生ん所のイサクと之を立べし
22 When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.
神アブラハムと言ことを竟へ彼を離れて昇り給へり
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.
是に於てアブラハム神の己に言たまへる如く此日其子イシマエルと凡て其家に生れたる者および凡て其金にて買たる者即ちアブラハムの家の人の中なる諸の男を將きたりて其陽の皮を割たり
24 Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),
アブラハムは其陽の皮を割れたる時九十九歳
25 and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.
其子イシマエルは其陽の皮を割れたる時十三歳なりき
26 On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.
是日アブラハムと其子イシマエル割禮を受たり
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.
又其家の人家に生れたる者も金にて異邦人より買たる者も皆彼とともに割禮を受たり
