創世記 17

1 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

And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the Almighty God: walk before my face, and be perfect.

2 我わが契約を我と汝の間に立て大に汝の子孫を増ん

And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.

3 アブラム乃ち俯伏たり神又彼に告て言たまひけるは

And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,

4 我汝とわが契約を立つ汝は衆多の國民の父となるべし

It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.

5 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

And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

6 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

And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7 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

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

8 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產業となさん而して我彼等の神となるべし

And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them.

9 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

And God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.

10 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

This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee — that every male among you be circumcised.

11 汝等其陽の皮を割べし是我と汝等の間の契約の徴なり

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

12 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

And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you — he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.

13 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

He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 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

And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.

15 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

And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

16 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

And I will bless her, and I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.

17 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產ことをなさんやと

And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

18 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

And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!

19 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

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

20 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

And for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

21 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

But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.

22 神アブラハムと言ことを竟へ彼を離れて昇り給へり

And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.

23 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

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money — every male among the people of Abraham's house — and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.

24 アブラハムは其陽の皮を割れたる時九十九歳

And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 其子イシマエルは其陽の皮を割れたる時十三歳なりき

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

26 是日アブラハムと其子イシマエル割禮を受たり

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

27 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

and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
