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 years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be you perfect.
| با تو عهد می‌بندم که نسل تو را زیاد کنم.» | 2 |
And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you 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 you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
| از این پس نام تو ابرام نخواهد بود، بلکه ابراهیم؛ زیرا من تو را پدر قومهای بسیار می‌سازم. | 5 |
Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you.
| نسل تو را بسیار زیاد می‌کنم و از آنها قومها و پادشاهان به وجود می‌آورم. | 6 |
And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of 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 your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you, and to your seed 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 seed after you, the land wherein you are a stranger, 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, You shall keep my covenant therefore, you, and your seed 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 keep, between me and you and your seed after you; Every man child 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; and it shall be a token 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 |
And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of your seed.
| همه باید ختنه شوند و این نشانی بر بدن شما خواهد بود از عهد جاودانی من. | 13 |
He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must needs 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 man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, 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 your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
| 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 give you a son also of her: yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of 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 on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
| پس به خدا عرض کرد: «خداوندا، همان اسماعیل را منظور بدار.» | 18 |
And Abraham said to God, O that Ishmael might live before you!
| 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, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed; and you shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with 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 you: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, 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 my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear to you 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 that were born in his house, and all that 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 years old and nine, 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 was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
| 27 |
And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
