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.

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。

Löftet om Isak
17 När Abram var nittionio år[a] uppenbarade sig Herren för honom och sade: ”Jag är Gud den Allsmäktige[b]. Vandra inför mig och var fullkomlig. 2 Jag ska upprätta mitt förbund mellan mig och dig, och jag ska föröka dig mycket.”
3 Då föll Abram ner på sitt ansikte, och Gud sade till honom: 4 (A) ”Se, detta är mitt förbund med dig: Du ska bli far till många folk. 5 (B) Därför ska du inte mer heta Abram, utan ditt namn ska vara Abraham,[c] för jag har gjort dig till far för många folk.[d] 6 Jag ska göra dig mycket fruktsam och låta folkslag komma från dig, och kungar ska utgå från dig.
7 Och jag ska upprätta mitt förbund mellan mig och dig och dina efterkommande från släkte till släkte, ett evigt förbund. Jag ska vara din Gud och dina efterkommandes Gud. 8 Det land där du bor som främling, hela Kanaans land, ska jag ge åt dig och dina efterkommande som egendom för evigt. Och jag ska vara deras Gud.”
Omskärelse
9 Sedan sade Gud till Abraham: ”Du ska hålla mitt förbund, du och dina efterkommande från släkte till släkte. 10 (C) Och detta är det förbund mellan mig och dig och dina efterkommande som ni ska hålla: Alla av manligt kön hos er ska omskäras[e]. 11 Ni ska skära bort er förhud, och det ska vara tecknet på förbundet mellan mig och er. 12 I generation efter generation ska ni omskära alla av manligt kön bland er när de är åtta dagar gamla, både den som är född i huset och den som köpts för pengar från främmande folk och som inte är din ättling. 13 Den som är född i ditt hus och den som du köpt för pengar ska omskäras. Mitt förbund ska vara på ert kött som ett evigt förbund. 14 Men en oomskuren, en av manligt kön som inte fått förhuden bortskuren, han ska utrotas från sitt folk. Han har brutit mitt förbund.”
15 Och Gud sade till Abraham: ”Din hustru Saraj ska du inte mer kalla Saraj, utan hennes namn ska vara Sara.[f] 16 (D) Jag ska välsigna henne och ge dig en son också med henne. Jag ska välsigna henne så att folkslag och kungar över folk ska komma från henne.” 17 Då föll Abraham ner på sitt ansikte, men han log[g] och sade för sig själv: ”Ska det födas barn åt en man som är hundra år? Och ska Sara föda barn, hon som är nittio år?”
18 Och Abraham sade till Gud: ”Låt bara Ismael få leva inför dig!” 19 (E) Men Gud sade: ”Nej, din hustru Sara ska föda en son åt dig, och du ska ge honom namnet Isak. Jag ska upprätta mitt förbund med honom, som ett evigt förbund med hans avkomma efter honom.
20 (F) Men också när det gäller Ismael har jag hört din bön. Jag ska välsigna honom och göra honom fruktsam och föröka honom mycket. Han ska bli far till tolv hövdingar, och jag ska göra honom till ett stort folk. 21 (G) Men mitt förbund ska jag upprätta med Isak, honom som Sara ska föda åt dig vid denna tid nästa år.”
22 När Gud hade talat färdigt med Abraham steg han upp från honom.
23 Samma dag tog Abraham sin son Ismael och alla som var födda i hans hus och alla som var köpta för pengar, alla av manligt kön bland hans husfolk, och skar bort deras förhud så som Gud hade sagt till honom. 24 Abraham var nittionio år när han blev omskuren, 25 och hans son Ismael var tretton år när han blev omskuren. 26 På samma dag blev Abraham och hans son Ismael omskurna. 27 Och alla männen i hans hus, både de som var födda i huset och de som var köpta för pengar från främmande folk, blev omskurna tillsammans med honom.

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.

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.
