Genesis 17
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.

Božje obećanje i savez s Abramom
17 Kad je Abram imao devedeset i devet godina, BOG mu se objavio i rekao mu: »Ja sam Bog Svemoćni[a]. Živi u mojoj prisutnosti, slušaj me i čini što je dobro. 2 Sklopit ću savez s tobom i dat ću ti mnogo potomaka.«
3 Abram se poklonio do zemlje, a Bog mu je rekao: 4 »Ovo je moj savez s tobom: Bit ćeš otac mnogih naroda. 5 Više se nećeš zvati Abram[b], nego će ti ime biti Abraham[c] jer sam te učinio ocem mnogih naroda. 6 Dat ću ti mnogo potomaka, pa će od tebe nastati narodi i poteći kraljevi. 7 Sklopit ću savez s tobom i tvojim potomcima iz naraštaja u naraštaj. Bit će to vječni savez. I bit ću tvoj Bog i Bog tvojih potomaka. 8 Tebi i tvojim potomcima zauvijek ću dati u posjed svu zemlju Kanaan, u kojoj si sada došljak. I bit ću njihov Bog.«
Obrezanje kao znak saveza
9 Zatim je Bog rekao Abrahamu: »A ti se drži mog saveza—ti i tvoji potomci iz naraštaja u naraštaj. 10 Ovo je moj savez s tobom i tvojim potomcima koji trebaš držati: svako vaše muško dijete mora biti obrezano[d]. 11 Odstranite kožicu spolovila, i to će biti znak saveza između mene i vas. 12 Neka se, iz naraštaja u naraštaj, svako muško dijete obreže osmog dana po rođenju. Tako i svaki rob rođen u tvome domu ili kupljen od stranca, a koji nije tvoj potomak. 13 Bilo da je rođen u tvom domu ili kupljen, mora ga se obrezati. Na vašem će tijelu biti znak da moj savez traje zauvijek. 14 Svako neobrezano muško—svaki onaj kome se ne obreže kožica spolovila—neka se odstrani iz svog naroda, zbog kršenja saveza.«
Obećani sin Izak
15 Bog je još rekao Abrahamu: »Svoju ženu više ne zovi Saraja jer će joj ime biti Sara[e]. 16 Blagoslovit ću je i od nje ti dati sina. Blagoslovit ću je tako da će postati majka narodima i kraljevi naroda poteći će od nje.«
17 Nato se Abraham pokloni do zemlje pa se nasmije i reče u sebi: »Zar će se čovjeku koji ima sto godina roditi dijete? Zar će Sara s devedeset godina postati majka?«
18 Zatim je rekao Bogu: »Kad bi barem Išmael uživao tvoju naklonost.«
19 Bog je odgovorio: »Ne! Tvoja žena Sara rodit će ti sina, a ti ćeš mu dati ime Izak[f]. S njim i njegovim potomcima sklopit ću vječni savez. 20 Čuo sam što si želio za Išmaela. Blagoslovit ću ga, učiniti ga plodnim i dati mu mnogo potomaka. Bit će otac dvanaestorici glavara i od njega ću načiniti velik narod. 21 No svoj ću savez sklopiti s Izakom, kojeg će ti Sara roditi dogodine u ovo vrijeme.«
22 Kad je završio razgovor s Abrahamom, Bog se podigao od njega.
23 Istoga je dana Abraham učinio što mu je Bog bio rekao. Obrezao je svog sina Išmaela i sve robove rođene u svom domu i sve kupljene robove—svako muško iz svog doma. 24 Abraham je imao devedeset i devet godina kad se obrezao, 25 a njegov sin Išmael trinaest. 26 Tako su se Abraham i njegov sin Išmael obrezali istog dana, 27 a s njima i svi muškarci u Abrahamovom domu—robovi rođeni u njegovom domu i oni kupljeni.

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.
