¹亚伯兰改名亚伯拉罕

¹And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, `I [am] God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;

²我要与你立约，要使你的后裔人丁兴旺。”

²and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.`

³于是亚伯兰俯伏在地，　神又告诉他，说：

³And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,

⁴“看哪，这就是我和你所立的约：你要作多国的父。

⁴`I — lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

⁵你的名不要再叫亚伯兰，要叫亚伯拉罕，因为我已经立了你作万国的父。

⁵and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

⁶我要使你极其昌盛，国度因你而立，君王必从你而出。

⁶and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.

⁷我要与你，和你世世代代的后裔，坚立我的约，成为永远的约，使我作你和你的后裔的　神。

⁷`And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

⁸我要把你现在寄居的地，就是迦南全地，赐给你和你的后裔，作永远的产业，我也要作他们的　神。”

⁸and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.`

⁹约的证据──立割礼　神又对亚伯拉罕说：“你和你世世代代的后裔都要谨守我的约。

⁹And God saith unto Abraham, `And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;

¹⁰我与你和你的后裔所立的这约，是你们应当谨守的，就是你们所有的男子，都要受割礼。

¹⁰this [is] My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you [is] to be circumcised;

¹¹你们都要割去身上的包皮，这就是我与你们立约的记号了。

¹¹and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.

¹²你们中间世世代代所有的男子，无论是在家里生的，或是用银子从不是属你后裔的外族人买来的，生下来第八日都要受割礼。

¹²`And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed;

¹³在你家里生的，和你用银子买来的，都一定要受割礼。这样，我的约就刻在你们身上，作永远的约。

¹³he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;

¹⁴但不受割礼的男子，就是没有割去身上的包皮的，那人必从民中剪除，因为他违背了我的约。”

¹⁴and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.`

¹⁵撒莱改名撒拉　神又对亚伯拉罕说：“至于你的妻子撒莱，不要再叫她的名撒莱，要叫撒拉。

¹⁵And God saith unto Abraham, `Sarai thy wife — thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

¹⁶我必赐福给她，也必使她为你生一个儿子；我要赐福给她，她也要作多国的母，万族的君王必从她而出。”

¹⁶and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations — kings of peoples are from her.`

¹⁷亚伯拉罕就俯伏在地，笑了起来，心里说：“一百岁的人，还能生孩子吗？撒拉已经九十岁了，还能生育吗？”

¹⁷And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, `To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah — daughter of ninety years — bear?`

¹⁸亚伯拉罕对　神说：“愿以实玛利能在你面前活着！”

¹⁸And Abraham saith unto God, `O that Ishmael may live before Thee;`

¹⁹应许生以撒　神说：“你的妻子撒拉，真的要为你生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫以撒，我要与他坚立我的约，作他后裔的永约。

¹⁹and God saith, `Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.

²⁰至于以实玛利，我也应允你。看哪，我已经赐福给他；我必使他昌盛，子孙极其众多；他必生十二个族长；我也必使他成为大国。

²⁰As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

²¹但我的约是要和以撒坚立的。这以撒，就是明年这时候，撒拉要为你生的。”

²¹and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;`

²²首次受割礼　神和亚伯拉罕说完了话，就离开他上升去了。

²²and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.

²³就在那一天，亚伯拉罕照着　神吩咐他的，给他儿子以实玛利，和他家里所有的男子，无论是在家里生的，或是用银子买来的，都割去了他们身上的包皮。

²³And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money — every male among the men of Abraham`s house — and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.

²⁴亚伯拉罕九十九岁的时候，割去了他身上的包皮。

²⁴And Abraham [is] a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

²⁵他的儿子以实玛利十三岁的时候，割去了他身上的包皮。

²⁵and Ishmael his son [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

²⁶就在那一天，亚伯拉罕和他的儿子以实玛利，都受了割礼。

²⁶in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

²⁷亚伯拉罕家里所有的男人，无论是在家里生的，或是用银子从外族人买来的，都与他一同受了割礼。

²⁷and all the men of his house — born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger — have been circumcised with him.
