创世记 17
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
神易亚伯兰为亚伯拉罕
17 亚伯兰年九十九岁的时候,耶和华向他显现,对他说:“我是全能的神,你当在我面前做完全人。 2 我就与你立约,使你的后裔极其繁多。” 3 亚伯兰俯伏在地,神又对他说: 4 “我与你立约:你要做多国的父。 5 从此以后,你的名不再叫亚伯兰,要叫亚伯拉罕,因为我已立你做多国的父。 6 我必使你的后裔极其繁多,国度从你而立,君王从你而出。 7 我要与你并你世世代代的后裔坚立我的约,做永远的约,是要做你和你后裔的神。 8 我要将你现在寄居的地,就是迦南全地,赐给你和你的后裔永远为业,我也必做他们的神。”
始定割礼
9 神又对亚伯拉罕说:“你和你的后裔,必世世代代遵守我的约。 10 你们所有的男子都要受割礼,这就是我与你并你的后裔所立的约,是你们所当遵守的。 11 你们都要受割礼[a],这是我与你们立约的证据。 12 你们世世代代的男子,无论是家里生的,是在你后裔之外用银子从外人买的,生下来第八日,都要受割礼。 13 你家里生的和你用银子买的,都必须受割礼。这样,我的约就立在你们肉体上做永远的约。 14 但不受割礼的男子,必从民中剪除,因他背了我的约。”
易撒莱名为撒拉
15 神又对亚伯拉罕说:“你的妻子撒莱,不可再叫撒莱,她的名要叫撒拉。 16 我必赐福给她,也要使你从她得一个儿子。我要赐福给她,她也要做多国之母,必有百姓的君王从她而出。” 17 亚伯拉罕就俯伏在地喜笑,心里说:“一百岁的人还能得孩子吗?撒拉已经九十岁了,还能生养吗?” 18 亚伯拉罕对神说:“但愿以实玛利活在你面前。”
应许生以撒
19 神说:“不然,你妻子撒拉要给你生一个儿子,你要给他起名叫以撒。我要与他坚定所立的约,做他后裔永远的约。 20 至于以实玛利,我也应允你,我必赐福给他,使他昌盛,极其繁多。他必生十二个族长,我也要使他成为大国。 21 到明年这时节,撒拉必给你生以撒,我要与他坚定所立的约。”
始受割礼
22 神和亚伯拉罕说完了话,就离开他上升去了。 23 正当那日,亚伯拉罕遵着神的命,给他的儿子以实玛利和家里的一切男子,无论是在家里生的,是用银子买的,都行了割礼。 24 亚伯拉罕受割礼的时候,年九十九岁。 25 他儿子以实玛利受割礼的时候,年十三岁。 26 正当那日,亚伯拉罕和他儿子以实玛利,一同受了割礼。 27 家里所有的人,无论是在家里生的,是用银子从外人买的,也都一同受了割礼。

Genèse 17
La Bible du Semeur
Le signe de l’alliance
17 Quand Abram eut quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans, l’Eternel lui apparut et lui dit : Je suis le Dieu tout-puissant. Mène ta vie sous mon regard et comporte-toi de manière intègre 2 afin que j’établisse mon alliance avec toi et que je multiplie ta descendance à l’extrême.
3 Abram se prosterna, la face contre terre, et Dieu ajouta : 4 Pour moi, voici quelle est mon alliance avec toi : Tu deviendras le père d’une multitude de peuples. 5 Désormais ton nom ne sera plus Abram (Père éminent), mais Abraham, car je ferai de toi le père d’une multitude de peuples[a]. 6 Je multiplierai à l’extrême le nombre de tes descendants et je te donnerai d’être à l’origine de divers peuples ; des rois même seront issus de toi. 7 Je maintiendrai pour toujours mon alliance avec toi, et avec ta descendance après toi, de génération en génération. En vertu de cette alliance, je serai ton Dieu et celui de ta descendance après toi. 8 Je te donnerai, ainsi qu’à ta descendance, ce pays de Canaan où tu vis maintenant en étranger. Il sera votre propriété pour toujours. Et je serai le Dieu de ta descendance[b].
9 Puis Dieu ajouta : De ton côté, tu respecteras les clauses de mon alliance, toi et ta descendance, de génération en génération. 10 Voici quelle est mon alliance avec vous et avec ta descendance, quels en sont les termes que vous devrez respecter : tous ceux qui sont de sexe masculin parmi vous seront circoncis[c]. 11 Vous porterez cette marque dans votre chair, et cela sera le signe de l’alliance entre moi et vous. 12 De génération en génération, tout garçon devra être circoncis à l’âge de huit jours. Cela s’applique aussi à tout garçon né dans ta maison, et aux étrangers qui auront été achetés comme esclaves, et qui ne sont pas de ta descendance. 13 Tous sans exception seront circoncis, qu’ils soient nés dans ta maison ou acquis à prix d’argent ; ainsi le signe de mon alliance sera gravé dans votre chair. C’est là une alliance à perpétuité. 14 Celui qui n’aura pas été circoncis sera retranché de son peuple parce qu’il n’aura pas respecté les clauses de mon alliance.
L’héritier de l’alliance
15 Dieu dit encore à Abraham : Pour ce qui concerne ta femme Saraï, tu ne l’appelleras plus Saraï (Ma princesse), désormais son nom est Sara (Princesse). 16 Je la bénirai et je t’accorderai par elle un fils ; je la bénirai et elle deviendra l’ancêtre de plusieurs peuples ; des rois de divers peuples sortiront d’elle.
17 Alors Abraham se prosterna de nouveau la face contre terre, et il se mit à rire en se disant intérieurement : Eh quoi ! un homme centenaire peut-il encore avoir un enfant ? Et Sara, une femme de quatre-vingt-dix ans, peut-elle donner naissance à un enfant ? 18 Et il dit à Dieu : Tout ce que je demande c’est qu’Ismaël vive et que tu prennes soin de lui[d].
19 Dieu reprit : Mais non ! c’est Sara, ta femme, qui te donnera un fils. Tu l’appelleras Isaac (Il rit) et j’établirai mon alliance avec lui, pour toujours, et avec sa descendance après lui. 20 En ce qui concerne Ismaël, j’ai entendu ta prière en sa faveur. Oui, je le bénirai. Je lui donnerai de nombreux descendants : je le multiplierai à l’extrême. Douze princes seront issus de lui et je ferai de lui l’ancêtre d’un grand peuple. 21 Mais mon alliance, c’est avec Isaac que je l’établirai, le fils que Sara te donnera l’année prochaine à cette époque.
La circoncision d’Abraham et des siens
22 Après avoir achevé de parler avec Abraham, Dieu s’éleva au-dessus de lui. 23 Ce même jour, Abraham circoncit Ismaël son fils, ainsi que tous les gens nés dans sa maison et tous les esclaves qu’il avait achetés. Tous les gens de sexe masculin qui appartenaient à la maison d’Abraham furent circoncis comme Dieu le lui avait ordonné. 24 Abraham avait quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ans quand il fut circoncis et 25 Ismaël son fils en avait treize. 26 Abraham et son fils Ismaël furent circoncis le même jour, 27 en même temps que tous les hommes de sa maison nés chez lui et les étrangers acquis à prix d’argent.
Genesis 17
New International Version
The Covenant of Circumcision
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old,(A) the Lord appeared to him(B) and said, “I am God Almighty[a];(C) walk before me faithfully and be blameless.(D) 2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you(E) and will greatly increase your numbers.”(F)
3 Abram fell facedown,(G) and God said to him, 4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you:(H) You will be the father of many nations.(I) 5 No longer will you be called Abram[b]; your name will be Abraham,[c](J) for I have made you a father of many nations.(K) 6 I will make you very fruitful;(L) I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.(M) 7 I will establish my covenant(N) as an everlasting covenant(O) between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God(P) and the God of your descendants after you.(Q) 8 The whole land of Canaan,(R) where you now reside as a foreigner,(S) I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you;(T) and I will be their God.(U)”
9 Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant,(V) you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.(W) 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.(X) 11 You are to undergo circumcision,(Y) and it will be the sign of the covenant(Z) between me and you. 12 For the generations to come(AA) every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised,(AB) including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised.(AC) My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.(AD) 14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised(AE) in the flesh, will be cut off from his people;(AF) he has broken my covenant.(AG)”
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai(AH) your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.(AI) 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her.(AJ) I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations;(AK) kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell facedown;(AL) he laughed(AM) and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old?(AN) Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?”(AO) 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael(AP) might live under your blessing!”(AQ)
19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son,(AR) and you will call him Isaac.[d](AS) I will establish my covenant with him(AT) as an everlasting covenant(AU) for his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers.(AV) He will be the father of twelve rulers,(AW) and I will make him into a great nation.(AX) 21 But my covenant(AY) I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you(AZ) by this time next year.”(BA) 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.(BB)
23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household(BC) or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.(BD) 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old(BE) when he was circumcised,(BF) 25 and his son Ishmael(BG) was thirteen; 26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that very day. 27 And every male in Abraham’s household(BH), including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.

New King James Version
The Sign of the Covenant(A)
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord (B)appeared to Abram and said to him, (C)“I am [a]Almighty God; (D)walk before Me and be (E)blameless. 2 And I will make My (F)covenant between Me and you, and (G)will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be (H)a father of [b]many nations. 5 No longer shall (I)your name be called [c]Abram, but your name shall be [d]Abraham; (J)for I have made you a father of [e]many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make (K)nations of you, and (L)kings shall come from you. 7 And I will (M)establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, (N)to be God to you and (O)your descendants after you. 8 Also (P)I give to you and your descendants after you the land (Q)in[f] which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and (R)I will be their God.”
9 And God said to Abraham: “As for you, (S)you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 10 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: (T)Every male child among you shall be circumcised; 11 and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be (U)a sign of the covenant between Me and you. 12 He who is eight days old among you (V)shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant. 13 He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person (W)shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but [g]Sarah shall be her name. 16 And I will bless her (X)and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother (Y)of nations; (Z)kings of peoples shall be from her.”
17 Then Abraham fell on his face (AA)and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” 18 And Abraham (AB)said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!”
19 Then God said: “No, (AC)Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My (AD)covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and (AE)will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget (AF)twelve princes, (AG)and I will make him a great nation. 21 But My (AH)covenant I will establish with Isaac, (AI)whom Sarah shall bear to you at this (AJ)set time next year.” 22 Then He finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
23 So Abraham took Ishmael his son, 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 foreskins that very same day, as God had said to him. 24 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 That very same day Abraham was circumcised, and his son Ishmael; 27 and (AK)all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

King James Version
17 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 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 unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
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 thy seed.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: 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.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
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 unto him.
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.
