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 |
In truth, after he began to be ninety-nine years of age, the Lord appeared to him. And he said to him: “I am the Almighty God. Walk in my sight and become complete.
| با تو عهد می‌بندم که نسل تو را زیاد کنم.» | 2 |
And I will set my covenant between me and you. And I will multiply you very exceedingly.”
| آنگاه ابرام رو به زمین خم شد و خدا به وی گفت: | 3 |
Abram fell prone on his face.
| «من با تو عهد می‌بندم که قومهای بسیار از تو به وجود آورم. | 4 |
And God said to him: “I AM, and my covenant is with you, and you will be the father of many nations.
| از این پس نام تو ابرام نخواهد بود، بلکه ابراهیم؛ زیرا من تو را پدر قومهای بسیار می‌سازم. | 5 |
No longer will your name be called Abram. But you will be called Abraham, for I have established you as the father of many nations.
| نسل تو را بسیار زیاد می‌کنم و از آنها قومها و پادشاهان به وجود می‌آورم. | 6 |
And I will cause you to increase very greatly, and I will set you among the nations, and kings will come forth from you.
| 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 you, and with your offspring after you in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
| 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 you and to your offspring, the land of your sojourn, all the land of Canaan, as an eternal 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 |
Again God said to Abraham: “And you therefore shall keep my covenant, and your offspring after you in 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 you shall observe, between me and you, and your offspring after you: All the males among you shall be circumcised.
| باید گوشت قُلفۀ خود را ببرید تا بدین وسیله نشان دهید که عهد مرا پذیرفته‌اید. | 11 |
And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, so that it may be a sign of the 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 |
An infant of eight days will be circumcised among you, every male in your generations. So also servants born to you, as well as those bought, shall be circumcised, even those who are not of your stock.
| همه باید ختنه شوند و این نشانی بر بدن شما خواهد بود از عهد جاودانی من. | 13 |
And my covenant shall be with your flesh as an eternal covenant.
| هر کس نخواهد ختنه شود، باید از قومِ خود منقطع شود، زیرا عهد مرا شکسته است.» | 14 |
The male, the flesh of whose foreskin will not be circumcised, that soul shall be eliminated from his people. For he has made my covenant void.”
| 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 |
God said also to Abraham: “Your wife Sarai, you shall not call Sarai, but 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 from her I will give you a son, whom I will bless, and he will be among the nations, and the kings of the peoples will rise from him.”
| 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 |
Abraham fell on his face, and he laughed, saying in his heart: “Do you think a son can be born to a one hundred year old man? And will Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”
| پس به خدا عرض کرد: «خداوندا، همان اسماعیل را منظور بدار.» | 18 |
And he said to God, “If only Ishmael would live in your sight.”
| 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 to Abraham: “Your wife Sarah shall give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him as a perpetual covenant, and with his offspring 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 |
Likewise, concerning Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I will bless and enlarge him, and I will multiply him greatly. He will produce twelve leaders, and I will make him into 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 |
Yet in truth, I will establish my covenant with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth for you at this time next year.”
| آنگاه خدا از سخن گفتن با ابراهیم بازایستاد و از نزد او رفت. | 22 |
And when he had finished speaking with him, God ascended from Abraham.
| سپس ابراهیم، فرزندش اسماعیل و سایر مردان و پسرانی را که در خانه‌اش بودند، چنانکه خدا فرموده بود ختنه کرد. | 23 |
Then Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all who were born in his house, and all whom he had bought, every male among the men of his house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin promptly, the very same day, just as God had instructed 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 |
Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.
| 25 |
And his son Ishmael had completed thirteen years at the time of his circumcision.
| 26 |
On the very same day, Abraham was circumcised with his son Ishmael.
| 27 |
And all the men of his house, those born in his house, as well as those who were bought, even the foreigners, were circumcised with him.
