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;
亚伯兰年九十九岁的时候，耶和华向他显现，对他说：“我是全能的 神。你当在我面前作完全人，
2 and Y schal sette my couenaunt of pees bitwixe me and thee; and Y schal multiplie thee ful greetli.
我就与你立约，使你的后裔极其繁多。”
3 And Abram felde doun lowe on his face.
亚伯兰俯伏在地； 神又对他说：
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;
“我与你立约：你要作多国的父。
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;
从此以后，你的名不再叫亚伯兰，要叫亚伯拉罕，因为我已立你作多国的父。
6 and Y schal make thee to wexe ful greetli, and Y schal sette thee in folkis, and kyngis schulen go out of thee;
我必使你的后裔极其繁多；国度从你而立，君王从你而出。
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;
我要与你并你世世代代的后裔坚立我的约，作永远的约，是要作你和你后裔的 神。
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.
我要将你现在寄居的地，就是迦南全地，赐给你和你的后裔永远为业，我也必作他们的 神。”
9 God seide eft to Abraham, And therfor thou schalt kepe my couenaunt, and thi seed after thee, in her generaciouns.
神又对亚伯拉罕说：“你和你的后裔必世世代代遵守我的约。
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,
你们所有的男子都要受割礼；这就是我与你并你的后裔所立的约，是你们所当遵守的。
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.
你们都要受割礼；这是我与你们立约的证据。
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;
你们世世代代的男子，无论是家里生的，是在你后裔之外用银子从外人买的，生下来第八日，都要受割礼。
13 and my couenaunt schal be in youre fleisch in to euerlastynge boond of pees.
你家里生的和你用银子买的，都必须受割礼。这样，我的约就立在你们肉体上作永远的约。
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.
但不受割礼的男子必从民中剪除，因他背了我的约。”
15 Also God seide to Abraham, Thou schalt not clepe Saray, thi wijf, Sarai, but Sara;
神又对亚伯拉罕说：“你的妻子撒莱不可再叫撒莱，她的名要叫撒拉。
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.
我必赐福给她，也要使你从她得一个儿子。我要赐福给她，她也要作多国之母；必有百姓的君王从她而出。”
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?
亚伯拉罕就俯伏在地喜笑，心里说：“一百岁的人还能得孩子吗？撒拉已经九十岁了，还能生养吗？”
18 And he seide to the Lord, Y wolde that Ismael lyue bifore thee.
亚伯拉罕对 神说：“但愿以实玛利活在你面前。”
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;
神说：“不然，你妻子撒拉要给你生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫以撒。我要与他坚定所立的约，作他后裔永远的约。
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.
至于以实玛利，我也应允你：我必赐福给他，使他昌盛，极其繁多。他必生十二个族长；我也要使他成为大国。
21 Forsothe Y schal make my couenaunt to Ysaac, whom Sare schal childe to thee in this tyme in the tother yeer.
到明年这时节，撒拉必给你生以撒，我要与他坚定所立的约。”
22 And whanne the word of the spekere with hym was endid, God stiede fro Abraham.
神和亚伯拉罕说完了话，就离开他上升去了。
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.
正当那日，亚伯拉罕遵着 神的命，给他的儿子以实玛利和家里的一切男子，无论是在家里生的，是用银子买的，都行了割礼。
24 Abraham was of nynti yeer and nyne whanne he circumsidide the fleisch of his yeerd,
亚伯拉罕受割礼的时候年九十九岁。
25 and Ismael, his sone, hadde fillid threttene yeer in the tyme of his circumsicioun.
他儿子以实玛利受割礼的时候年十三岁。
26 Abraham was circumsidid in the same day, and Ismael his sone,
正当那日，亚伯拉罕和他儿子以实玛利一同受了割礼。
27 and alle men of his hows, as wel borun seruauntis as bouyt and aliens, weren circumcidid togidre.
家里所有的人，无论是在家里生的，是用银子从外人买的，也都一同受了割礼。
