Genesis 17
BasisBijbel
Gods verbond met Abraham
17 Toen Abram 99 jaar was, kwam de Heer naar hem toe en zei: "Ik ben de Almachtige God. Leef steeds zoals Ik het wil. 2 Dan zal Ik Mij houden aan het verbond dat Ik met je heb gesloten. Ik zal je een heel grote familie geven." 3 Toen knielde Abram op de grond en boog zich diep. God sprak met hem. 4 Hij zei: "Ik heb een verbond met je gesloten. Je zal de vader van heel veel volken worden. 5 Vanaf nu heet je niet langer Abram (= 'geëerde vader'), maar Abraham (= 'vader van heel veel volken'). Want Ik maak van jou een vader van heel veel volken. 6 Ik zal ervoor zorgen dat je een heel grote familie krijgt en dat er volken uit je zullen ontstaan. Er zullen zelfs koningen uit jou ontstaan. 7 Mijn verbond met jou is ook een verbond met je hele familie ná jou. Het is een eeuwig verbond. Zo zal Ik de God van jou én van je familie ná jou zijn. 8 Ik zal jou en je familie ná jou het land geven waar je nu als vreemdeling woont. Ik zal jullie het hele land Kanaän geven. Het zal voor eeuwig jullie eigendom zijn. En Ik zal jullie God zijn."
9 Verder zei God tegen Abraham: "Jij en je familie ná jou moeten je houden aan jullie deel van het verbond. 10 Jullie deel is, dat alle mannen van je familie moeten worden besneden. 11 Jullie moeten de voorhuid van je geslachtsdeel laten besnijden. Dat is het teken van het verbond tussen Mij en jullie. 12 Alle jongens moeten worden besneden als ze acht dagen oud zijn. Niet alleen de jongens die bij je familie horen. Ook alle mannen die als slaven gekocht zijn van andere volken. 13 Alle mannen die in jouw familie worden geboren en alle mannen die worden gekocht, moeten worden besneden. Zo zal het verbond dat Ik met jullie gesloten heb, te zien zijn in jullie lichaam. Het is een eeuwig verbond. 14 Iedere man die de voorhuid van zijn geslachtsdeel niet laat besnijden, zal worden gedood. Want hij heeft zijn verbond met Mij gebroken."
God belooft Abraham voor de tweede keer een zoon
15 Verder zei God tegen Abraham: "Noem je vrouw niet langer Saraï (= 'ruziemaakster'), maar Sara (= 'prinses'). 16 Want Ik zal goed voor haar zijn en ze zal de moeder worden van jouw zoon. Ik zal haar zegenen, zodat er volken uit haar zullen ontstaan. Er zullen ook koningen uit haar ontstaan." 17 Toen boog Abraham zich diep. Maar hij lachte bij zichzelf en dacht: "Ik ben al bijna 100 jaar. Zou ik dan nog een kind krijgen? En Sara is al 90 jaar. Zou ze dan nog in verwachting raken en een kind krijgen?" 18 En hij zei tegen God: "Heer, laat uw beloften alstublieft voor Ismaël zijn!" 19 Maar God zei tegen hem: "Nee, je vrouw Sara zal een zoon krijgen. Je moet hem Izaäk (= 'gelach') noemen. Met hem zal Ik mijn verbond sluiten. Het zal een eeuwig verbond zijn met hem en zijn familie ná hem. 20 Wat Ismaël betreft zal Ik doen wat je vraagt. Ik heb hem gezegend en hij zal een heel grote familie worden. Er zullen twaalf koningen uit hem geboren worden. Ik zal hem tot een groot volk maken. 21 Maar met Izaäk zal Ik mijn verbond sluiten. Volgend jaar om deze tijd zal Sara moeder van Izaäk zijn." 22 Toen was God uitgesproken en ging bij Abraham weg, terug naar de hemel.
23 Diezelfde dag nog besneed Abraham zijn zoon Ismaël. Ook besneed hij al zijn slaven: de slaven die in zijn huis geboren waren en de slaven die hij had gekocht, alle mannen in zijn huis, zoals God tegen hem had gezegd. 24 Abraham was 99 jaar toen hij zich liet besnijden. 25 Zijn zoon Ismaël was 13 jaar toen hij besneden werd. 26+27 Op de dag dat God het had bevolen, werden ze allebei besneden, samen met alle andere mannen die bij Abraham hoorden.
Gênesis 17
Nova Versão Internacional
A Circuncisão: O Sinal da Aliança
17 Quando Abrão estava com noventa e nove anos de idade o Senhor lhe apareceu e disse: “Eu sou o Deus todo-poderoso[a]; ande segundo a minha vontade e seja íntegro. 2 Estabelecerei a minha aliança entre mim e você e multiplicarei muitíssimo a sua descendência”.
3 Abrão prostrou-se, rosto em terra, e Deus lhe disse: 4 “De minha parte, esta é a minha aliança com você. Você será o pai de muitas nações. 5 Não será mais chamado Abrão; seu nome será Abraão[b], porque eu o constituí pai de muitas nações. 6 Eu o tornarei extremamente prolífero; de você farei nações e de você procederão reis. 7 Estabelecerei a minha aliança como aliança eterna entre mim e você e os seus futuros descendentes, para ser o seu Deus e o Deus dos seus descendentes. 8 Toda a terra de Canaã, onde agora você é estrangeiro, darei como propriedade perpétua a você e a seus descendentes; e serei o Deus deles.
9 “De sua parte”, disse Deus a Abraão, “guarde a minha aliança, tanto você como os seus futuros descendentes. 10 Esta é a minha aliança com você e com os seus descendentes, aliança que terá que ser guardada: Todos os do sexo masculino entre vocês serão circuncidados na carne. 11 Terão que fazer essa marca, que será o sinal da aliança entre mim e vocês. 12 Da sua geração em diante, todo menino de oito dias de idade entre vocês terá que ser circuncidado, tanto os nascidos em sua casa quanto os que forem comprados de estrangeiros e que não forem descendentes de vocês. 13 Sejam nascidos em sua casa, sejam comprados, terão que ser circuncidados. Minha aliança, marcada no corpo de vocês, será uma aliança perpétua. 14 Qualquer do sexo masculino que for incircunciso, que não tiver sido circuncidado, será eliminado do meio do seu povo; quebrou a minha aliança”.
15 Disse também Deus a Abraão: “De agora em diante sua mulher já não se chamará Sarai; seu nome será Sara[c]. 16 Eu a abençoarei e também por meio dela darei a você um filho. Sim, eu a abençoarei e dela procederão nações e reis de povos”.
17 Abraão prostrou-se, rosto em terra; riu-se e disse a si mesmo: “Poderá um homem de cem anos de idade gerar um filho? Poderá Sara dar à luz aos noventa anos?” 18 E Abraão disse a Deus: “Permite que Ismael seja o meu herdeiro![d]”
19 Então Deus respondeu: “Na verdade Sara, sua mulher, lhe dará um filho, e você lhe chamará Isaque[e]. Com ele estabelecerei a minha aliança, que será aliança eterna para os seus futuros descendentes. 20 E no caso de Ismael, levarei em conta o seu pedido. Também o abençoarei; eu o farei prolífero e multiplicarei muito a sua descendência. Ele será pai de doze príncipes e dele farei um grande povo. 21 Mas a minha aliança, eu a estabelecerei com Isaque, filho que Sara lhe dará no ano que vem, por esta época”. 22 Quando terminou de falar com Abraão, Deus subiu e retirou-se da presença dele.
23 Naquele mesmo dia Abraão tomou seu filho Ismael, todos os nascidos em sua casa e os que foram comprados, todos os do sexo masculino de sua casa, e os circuncidou, como Deus lhe ordenara. 24 Abraão tinha noventa e nove anos quando foi circuncidado, 25 e seu filho Ismael tinha treze; 26 Abraão e seu filho Ismael foram circuncidados naquele mesmo dia. 27 E com Abraão foram circuncidados todos os de sua casa, tanto os nascidos em casa como os comprados de estrangeiros.
Genesis 17
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.
