پیدایش 17
| وقتی ابرام نود و نه ساله بود، خداوند بر او ظاهر شد و فرمود: «من اِل شَدّای، خدای قادر مطلق هستم. از من اطاعت کن و آنچه راست است بجا آور. | 1 |
And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am God Almighty, walk before me, and be thou perfect.
| با تو عهد می‌بندم که نسل تو را زیاد کنم.» | 2 |
And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
| آنگاه ابرام رو به زمین خم شد و خدا به وی گفت: | 3 |
And Abram fell on his face. And God talked with him, saying,
| «من با تو عهد می‌بندم که قومهای بسیار از تو به وجود آورم. | 4 |
As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
| از این پس نام تو ابرام نخواهد بود، بلکه ابراهیم؛ زیرا من تو را پدر قومهای بسیار می‌سازم. | 5 |
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham, for I have made thee the father of a multitude of nations.
| نسل تو را بسیار زیاد می‌کنم و از آنها قومها و پادشاهان به وجود می‌آورم. | 6 |
And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful. And I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
| من عهد خود را تا ابد با تو و بعد از تو با فرزندانت، نسل اندر نسل برقرار می‌کنم. من خدای تو هستم و خدای فرزندانت نیز خواهم بود. | 7 |
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee.
| تمامی سرزمین کنعان را که اکنون در آن غریب هستی، تا ابد به تو و به نسل تو خواهم بخشید و خدای ایشان خواهم بود.» | 8 |
And I will 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 their God.
| آنگاه خدا به ابراهیم فرمود: «وظیفهٔ توست که عهد مرا نگاه داری، تو و فرزندانت و نسلهای بعد. | 9 |
And God said to Abraham, And as for thee, thou shall keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.
| این است عهدی که تو و نسلت باید نگاه دارید: تمام مردان و پسران شما باید ختنه شوند. | 10 |
This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.
| باید گوشت قُلفۀ خود را ببرید تا بدین وسیله نشان دهید که عهد مرا پذیرفته‌اید. | 11 |
And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a sign of a covenant between me and you.
| «در نسلهای شما، هر پسر هشت روزه باید ختنه شود. این قانون شامل تمام مردان خانه‌زاد و زرخرید هم می‌شود. | 12 |
And he who is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations: he who is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner that is not of thy seed.
| همه باید ختنه شوند و این نشانی بر بدن شما خواهد بود از عهد جاودانی من. | 13 |
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.
| هر کس نخواهد ختنه شود، باید از قومِ خود منقطع شود، زیرا عهد مرا شکسته است.» | 14 |
And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.
| خدا همچنین فرمود: «اما در خصوص سارای، زن تو: بعد از این دیگر او را سارای مخوان. نام او سارا (یعنی”شاهزاده“) خواهد بود. | 15 |
And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
| من او را برکت خواهم داد و از وی به تو پسری خواهم بخشید. بله، او را بسیار برکت خواهم داد و از او قومهای بسیار به وجود خواهم آورد. از میان فرزندان تو، پادشاهان خواهند برخاست.» | 16 |
And I will bless her. And moreover I will give thee a son by her. Yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be by her.
| آنگاه ابراهیم سجده کرد و خندید و در دل خود گفت: «آیا برای مرد صد ساله پسری متولد شود و سارا در نود سالگی بزاید؟» | 17 |
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him who is a hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
| پس به خدا عرض کرد: «خداوندا، همان اسماعیل را منظور بدار.» | 18 |
And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
| ولی خدا فرمود: «مطمئن باش خودِ سارا برای تو پسری خواهد زایید و تو نام او را اسحاق (یعنی”خنده“) خواهی گذاشت. من عهد خود را با او و نسل وی تا ابد برقرار خواهم ساخت. | 19 |
And God said, No, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shall call his name Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
| اما در مورد اسماعیل نیز تقاضای تو را اجابت نمودم و او را برکت خواهم داد و نسل او را چنان زیاد خواهم کرد که قوم بزرگی از او به وجود آید. دوازده امیر از میان فرزندان او برخواهند خاست. | 20 |
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
| اما عهد خود را با اسحاق که سارا او را سال دیگر در همین موقع برای تو خواهد زایید، استوار می‌سازم.» | 21 |
But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this set time in the next year.
| آنگاه خدا از سخن گفتن با ابراهیم بازایستاد و از نزد او رفت. | 22 |
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
| سپس ابراهیم، فرزندش اسماعیل و سایر مردان و پسرانی را که در خانه‌اش بودند، چنانکه خدا فرموده بود ختنه کرد. | 23 |
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 men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said to him.
| در آن زمان ابراهیم نود و نه ساله و اسماعیل سیزده ساله بود. هر دو آنها در همان روز با سایر مردان و پسرانی که در خانه‌اش بودند، چه خانه‌زاد و چه زرخرید، ختنه شدند. | 24 |
And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
| 25 |
And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
| 26 |
In the selfsame day Abraham was circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
| 27 |
And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
