Genesis 17
1 Forsothe aftir that Abram bigan to be of nynti yeer and nyne, the Lord apperide to hym, and seide to him, Y am Almyyti God; go thou bifore me, and be thou perfit;
亞巴郎九十九歲時，上主顯現給他，對他說：「我是全能的天主，你當在我面前行走，作個成全的人。
2 and Y schal sette my couenaunt of pees bitwixe me and thee; and Y schal multiplie thee ful greetli.
我要與你立約，使你極其繁盛。」
3 And Abram felde doun lowe on his face.
亞巴郎遂俯伏在地；天主又對他說：
4 And God seide to hym, Y am, and my couenaunt of pees is with thee, and thou schalt be the fadir of many folkis;
「看，是我與你立約：你要成為萬民之父；
5 and thi name schal no more be clepid Abram, but thou schalt be clepid Abraham, for Y haue maad thee fadir of many folkis;
以後，你不再叫做亞巴郎，要叫做亞巴辣罕，因為我已立定你為萬民之父，
6 and Y schal make thee to wexe ful greetli, and Y schal sette thee in folkis, and kyngis schulen go out of thee;
使你極其繁衍，成為一大民族，君王要由你而出。
7 and Y schal make my couenaunt bitwixe me and thee, and bitwixe thi seed after thee, in her generaciouns, bi euerlastynge bond of pees, that Y be thi God, and of thi seed after thee;
我要在我與你和你歷代後裔之間，訂立我的約，當作永久的約，就是我要做你和你後裔的天主。
8 and Y schal yyue to thee and to thi seed after thee the lond of thi pilgrymage, al the lond of Chanaan, in to euerlastynge possessioun, and Y schal be the God of hem.
我必將你現今僑居之地，即客納罕全地，賜給你和你的後裔做永久的產業；我要作他們的天主。」
9 God seide eft to Abraham, And therfor thou schalt kepe my couenaunt, and thi seed after thee, in her generaciouns.
天主又對亞巴郎說：「你和你的後裔，世世代代應遵守我的約。
10 This is my couenaunt, which ye schulen kepe bitwixe me and you, and thi seed after thee; ech male kynde of you schal be circumcidid,
這就是你們應遵守的，在我與你們以及你的後裔之間所立的約：你們中所有的男子都應受割損。
11 and ye schulen circumside the fleisch of youre mannes yeerd, that it be in to a signe of boond of pees bytwixe me and you.
你們都應割去肉體上的包皮，作為我與你們之間的盟約的標記。
12 A yong child of eiyte daies schal be circumsidid in you, al male kynde in youre generaciouns, as wel a borun seruaunt as a seruaunt bouyt schal be circumsidid, and who euere is of youre kynrede he schal be circumsidid;
你們中世世代代所有的男子，在生後八日都應受割損；連家中生的，或是用錢買來而不屬你種族的外方人，都應受割損。
13 and my couenaunt schal be in youre fleisch in to euerlastynge boond of pees.
凡在你家中生的，和你用錢買來的奴僕，都該受割損。這樣，我的約刻在你們肉體上作為永久的約。
14 A man whos fleisch of his yerde schal not be circumsidid, thilke man schal be doon a wei fro his puple; for he made voide my couenaunt.
凡未割去包皮，未受割損的男子，應由民間剷除；因他違犯了我的約。」
15 Also God seide to Abraham, Thou schalt not clepe Saray, thi wijf, Sarai, but Sara;
天主又對亞巴郎說：「你的妻子撒辣依，你不要再叫她撒辣依，而要叫她撒辣。
16 and Y schal blesse hir, and of hir I schal yyue to thee a sone, whom I schal blesse, and he schal be in to naciouns, and kyngis of puplis schulen be borun of hym.
我必要祝福她，使她也給你生個兒子。我要祝福她，使她成為一大民族，人民的君王要由她而生。
17 Abraham felde doun on his face, and leiyede in his hert, and seide, Gessist thou, whethir a sone schal be borun to a man of an hundrid yeer, and Sara of nynti yeer schal bere child?
亞巴郎遂俯伏在地笑起來，心想：「百歲的人還能生子嗎﹖撒辣已九十歲，還能生子﹖」
18 And he seide to the Lord, Y wolde that Ismael lyue bifore thee.
亞巴郎對天主說：「只望依市瑪耳在你面前生存就夠了! 」
19 And the Lord seide to Abraham, Sara, thi wijf, schal bere a sone to thee, and thou schalt clepe his name Ysaac, and Y schal make my couenaunt to hym in to euerlastynge boond of pees, and to his seed aftir hym;
天主說：「你的妻子撒辣確要給你生個兒子，你要給他起名叫依撒格；我要與他和他的後裔，訂立我的約當作永久的約。
20 also on Ysmael Y haue herd thee, lo! Y schal blesse him, and Y schal encreesse, and Y schal multiplie him greetli; he schal gendre twelue dukis, and Y schal make hym in to a greet folk.
至於依市瑪耳，我也聽從你；我要祝福他，使他繁衍，極其昌盛。他要生十二個族長，我要使他成為一大民族。
21 Forsothe Y schal make my couenaunt to Ysaac, whom Sare schal childe to thee in this tyme in the tother yeer.
但是我的約，我要與明年此時撒辣給你生的依撒格訂立。」
22 And whanne the word of the spekere with hym was endid, God stiede fro Abraham.
天主同亞巴郎說完話，就離開他上升去了。
23 Forsothe Abraham took Ismael, his sone, and alle the borun seruauntis of his hous, and alle which he hadde bouyte, alle the malis of alle men of his hous, and circumsidide the fleisch of her yerde, anoon in that dai, as the Lord comaundide him.
當天，亞巴郎就照天主所吩咐的，召集他的兒子依市瑪耳幾以及凡家中生的，和用錢買來的奴僕，即自己家中的一切男子，割去了他們肉體上的包皮。
24 Abraham was of nynti yeer and nyne whanne he circumsidide the fleisch of his yeerd,
亞巴郎受割損時，已九十九歲；
25 and Ismael, his sone, hadde fillid threttene yeer in the tyme of his circumsicioun.
他的兒子，依市瑪耳受割損時，是十三歲。
26 Abraham was circumsidid in the same day, and Ismael his sone,
亞巴郎和他的兒子依市瑪耳在同日上受了割損。
27 and alle men of his hows, as wel borun seruauntis as bouyt and aliens, weren circumcidid togidre.
他家中所有的男人，不論是家中生的，或是由外方人那裏用錢買來的奴僕，都與他一同受了割損。
