Covenant Circumcision
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him, saying, “I am God Almighty.(A) Live[a] in my presence and be blameless.(B) 2 I will set up my covenant between me and you, and I will multiply you greatly.”
3 Then Abram fell facedown and God spoke with him: 4 “As for me, here is my covenant with you: You will become the father of many nations. 5 Your name will no longer be Abram;[b] your name will be Abraham,[c] for I will make you the father of many nations.(C) 6 I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you. 7 I will confirm my covenant that is between me and you and your future offspring throughout their generations. It is a permanent covenant(D) to be your God and the God of your offspring after you.(E) 8 And to you and your future offspring[d](F) I will give the land where you are residing—all the land of Canaan—as a permanent possession,(G) and I will be their God.”
9 God also said to Abraham, “As for you, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations are to keep my covenant. 10 This is my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you, which you are to keep: Every one of your males must be circumcised. 11 You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskin to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you.[e](H) 12 Throughout your generations, every male among you is to be circumcised(I) at eight days old—every male born in your household or purchased from any foreigner and not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or purchased, he must be circumcised. My covenant will be marked in your flesh as a permanent covenant. 14 If any male is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that man will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”
15 God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, do not call her Sarai, for Sarah[f] will be her name. 16 I will bless her; indeed, I will give you a son by her.(J) I will bless her, and she will produce nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed(K) and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a hundred-year-old man? Can Sarah, a ninety-year-old woman, give birth?” 18 So Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael were acceptable[g] to you!”
19 But God said, “No. Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac.[h] I will confirm my covenant with him as a permanent covenant for his future offspring. 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will certainly bless him; I will make him fruitful and will multiply him greatly. He will father twelve tribal leaders,(L) and I will make him into a great nation. 21 But I will confirm my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”(M) 22 When he finished talking with him, God withdrew[i] from Abraham.(N)
23 So Abraham took his son Ishmael and those born in his household or purchased—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day, just as God had said to him. 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when the flesh of his foreskin was circumcised, 25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when the flesh of his foreskin was circumcised. 26 On that very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. 27 And all the men of his household—whether born in his household or purchased from a foreigner—were circumcised with him.

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.

上帝再次与亚伯兰立约
17 亚伯兰九十九岁那年，耶和华向他显现说：“我是全能的上帝。你要遵行我的旨意，做纯全无过的人。 2 我要与你立约，我要使你子孙极其兴旺。” 3 亚伯兰就俯伏在地，上帝又对他说： 4 “我要与你立约，你必成为许多民族的始祖。 5 以后你的名字不再叫亚伯兰，要改为亚伯拉罕[a]，因为我要立你为万族之父。 6 我要使你的子孙极其兴旺，许多民族和君王必从你而出。 7 我要和你并你的子子孙孙立永恒的约，我要做你和你子孙的上帝。 8 我要把你现在寄居的整个迦南赐给你和你的后裔永远作产业，我也必做他们的上帝。”
9 上帝又对亚伯拉罕说：“你和你的子孙世世代代都要遵守我的约。 10 你们所有的男子都要受割礼，这是我与你和你的子孙所立的约，你们要遵守。 11 你们都要割包皮，作为我与你们立约的记号。 12 你们世世代代的男子在出生后的第八日都要接受割礼。在你家里出生的和用钱从外族人那里买来的奴仆也要受割礼。 13 不论是在你家里生的，还是你用钱买来的男子，都要接受割礼，这样你们的肉体上就有我永恒之约的记号。 14 任何没有接受割礼的男子，要将他从民中铲除，因为他违背了我的约。”
15 上帝对亚伯拉罕说：“你的妻子以后不要叫撒莱，她的名字要叫撒拉。 16 我必赐福给她，让她为你生一个儿子。她必成为万族的母亲，万民的君王必从她而出。” 17 亚伯拉罕就俯伏在地，笑了起来，心想：“我一百岁了，还能有孩子吗？撒拉已经九十岁了，还能生养吗？” 18 亚伯拉罕对上帝说：“愿以实玛利蒙你赐福。” 19 上帝说：“不，你妻子撒拉必为你生一个儿子，你要给他取名叫以撒，我必向他和他的后代坚守我的约，直到永远。 20 至于以实玛利，我已听见你的祈求，我必赐福给他，使他的后代极其兴旺昌盛。他必做十二个族长的父亲，我必使他成为大国。 21 撒拉必在明年这时候给你生以撒，我必向他坚守我的约。” 22 上帝说完以后，便离开亚伯拉罕上升而去。
23 亚伯拉罕就在那天照着上帝的吩咐，为儿子以实玛利和家中所有的男子，不论是在家中出生的，还是买回来的，都行了割礼。 24 亚伯拉罕接受割礼的时候九十九岁。 25 他的儿子以实玛利接受割礼的时候十三岁。 26 他们父子二人就在那天接受了割礼。 27 亚伯拉罕家里所有的男子，包括家中出生的和买回来的，都一起接受了割礼。

El pacto y la circuncisión
17 Cuando Abram tenía noventa y nueve años, el Señor se apareció y dijo:
—Yo soy el Dios Todopoderoso. Anda delante de mí y sé íntegro. 2 Así confirmaré mi pacto contigo y multiplicaré tu descendencia en gran manera.
3 Al oír que Dios le hablaba, Abram cayó rostro en tierra y Dios continuó diciendo:
4 —Este es el pacto que establezco contigo: Tú serás el padre de una multitud de naciones. 5 Ya no te llamarás Abram,[a] sino que de ahora en adelante tu nombre será Abraham,[b] porque te he confirmado como padre de muchas naciones. 6 Te haré tan fecundo que de ti saldrán reyes y naciones. 7 Estableceré mi pacto contigo y con tu descendencia, como pacto eterno, por todas las generaciones. Yo seré tu Dios y el Dios de tus descendientes. 8 A ti y a tu descendencia daré, en posesión perpetua, toda la tierra de Canaán, donde ahora vives como extranjero. Y yo seré su Dios.
9 Dios también dijo a Abraham:
—Cumple con mi pacto, tú y toda tu descendencia, por todas las generaciones. 10 Y este es el pacto que establezco contigo y con tu descendencia, el cual todos deberán cumplir: Todos los varones entre ustedes deberán ser circuncidados. 11 Circuncidarán la carne de su prepucio; esa será la señal del pacto entre nosotros. 12 Todos los varones de cada generación deberán ser circuncidados a los ocho días de nacidos, tanto los niños nacidos en casa como los que hayan sido comprados por dinero a un extranjero y que, por lo tanto, no sean de la estirpe de ustedes. 13 Todos sin excepción, tanto el nacido en casa como el que haya sido comprado por dinero, deberán ser circuncidados. De esta manera mi pacto quedará como una marca indeleble en la carne de ustedes, como un pacto eterno. 14 Pero el varón incircunciso, al que no se le haya cortado la carne del prepucio, será eliminado de su pueblo por quebrantar mi pacto.
15 También dijo Dios a Abraham:
—A Saray, tu esposa, ya no la llamarás Saray, sino que su nombre será Sara.[c] 16 Yo la bendeciré y por medio de ella te daré un hijo. Tanto la bendeciré que será madre de naciones y de ella surgirán reyes de pueblos.
17 Entonces Abraham inclinó el rostro hasta el suelo y se rio de pensar: «¿Acaso puede un hombre tener un hijo a los cien años y Sara ser madre a los noventa?». 18 Por eso le dijo a Dios:
—¡Concédele a Ismael vivir bajo tu bendición!
19 A lo que Dios contestó:
—¡Pero es Sara, tu esposa, la que te dará un hijo, al que llamarás Isaac![d] Yo estableceré mi pacto con él y con sus descendientes, como pacto perpetuo. 20 En cuanto a Ismael, ya te he escuchado. Yo lo bendeciré, lo haré fecundo y le daré una descendencia numerosa. Él será el padre de doce gobernantes. Haré de él una nación muy grande. 21 Pero mi pacto lo estableceré con Isaac, el hijo que te dará Sara de aquí a un año, por estos días.
22 Cuando Dios terminó de hablar con Abraham, subió y se retiró de su presencia.
23 Ese mismo día Abraham tomó a su hijo Ismael, a los criados nacidos en su casa, a los que había comprado con su dinero, a todos los otros varones que había en su casa y los circuncidó, tal como Dios se lo había mandado. 24 Abraham tenía noventa y nueve años cuando fue circuncidado, 25 mientras que su hijo Ismael tenía trece. 26 Así que ambos fueron circuncidados el mismo día 27 junto con todos los varones de su casa, tanto los nacidos en ella como los comprados a extranjeros.
