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.

Y siendo Abram de edad de noventa y nueve años, Jehová le apareció, y díjole: Yo soy el Dios Todopoderoso: Anda delante de mí, y sé perfecto.

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]

Y pondré mi concierto entre mí y ti, y multiplicarte he mucho en gran manera.

3 Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,

Entonces Abram cayó sobre su rostro, y Dios habló con él, diciendo:

4 “Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.

Yo, he aquí mi concierto contigo: Serás por padre de muchedumbre de gentes.

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.

Y no se llamará más tu nombre Abram; mas será tu nombre Abraham; porque padre de muchedumbre de gentes te he puesto.

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.

Y multiplicarte he mucho en gran manera, y ponerte he en gentes; y reyes saldrán de ti.

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.

Y estableceré mi concierto entre mí y ti, y entre tu simiente después de ti por sus generaciones por alianza perpetua, para ser a ti por Dios, y a tu simiente después de ti.

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].”

Y daré a ti, y a tu simiente después de ti, la tierra de tus peregrinaciones, toda la tierra de Canaán, en heredad perpetua: y serles he por Dios.

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.

Y dijo más Dios a Abraham: Tú empero mi concierto guardarás, tú y tu simiente después de ti por sus generaciones.

10 This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.

Este será mi concierto que guardaréis entre mí y vosotros, y tu simiente después de ti: Que será circuncidado entre vosotros todo varón:

11 (Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.

Circuncidaréis, pues, la carne de vuestro prepucio, y será por señal del concierto entre mí y vosotros.

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.

Y de edad de ocho días será circuncidado en vosotros todo varón por vuestras generaciones: el nacido en casa y el comprado a dinero de cualquier extranjero, que no fuere de tu simiente.

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.

Circuncidando será circuncidado el nacido en tu casa, y el comprado por tu dinero; y estará mi concierto en vuestra carne para alianza perpetua.

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.”

Y el varón incircunciso que no hubiere circuncidado la carne de su prepucio, aquella persona será cortada de sus pueblos: mi concierto anuló.

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.

Dijo también Dios a Abraham: A Sarai tu mujer no llamarás su nombre Sarai, mas Sara será su nombre.

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.”

Y bendecirla he, y también te daré de ella un hijo, y bendecirla he, y será madre de naciones: reyes de pueblos serán de ella.

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?”

Entonces Abraham cayó sobre su rostro, y rióse, y dijo en su corazón: ¿A hombre de cien años ha de nacer un hijo? ¿Y Sara, mujer de noventa años, ha de parir?

18 Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”

Y dijo Abraham a Dios: Ojalá Ismael viva delante de ti.

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.

Y respondió Dios: Ciertamente Sara tu mujer te parirá un hijo, y llamarás su nombre Isaac, y confirmaré mi concierto con él por concierto a su simiente después de él.

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.

Y por Ismael también te he oído: He aquí yo le bendeciré, y le haré fructificar, y multiplicar mucho en gran manera: doce príncipes engendrará; y ponerle he por gran gente.

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.”

Mas mi concierto estableceré con Isaac, al cual te parirá Sara en este tiempo el año siguiente.

22 When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.

Y acabó de hablar con él, y subió Dios de con Abraham.

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.

Entonces tomó Abraham a Ismael su hijo, y a todos los siervos nacidos en su casa, y a todos los comprados por su dinero, todo macho en los varones de la casa de Abraham, y circuncidó la carne de su prepucio en aquel mismo día, como Dios lo había hablado con él.

24 Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),

Era Abraham de edad de noventa y nueve años, cuando circuncidó él la carne de su prepucio.

25 and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.

E Ismael su hijo de trece años, cuando fue circuncidada la carne de su prepucio.

26 On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.

En aquel mismo día fue circuncidado Abraham, e Ismael su hijo:

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.

Y todos los varones de su casa, el siervo nacido en casa, y el comprado por dinero del extranjero, fueron circuncidados con él.
