創世記 17
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
神易亞伯蘭為亞伯拉罕
17 亞伯蘭年九十九歲的時候,耶和華向他顯現,對他說:「我是全能的神,你當在我面前做完全人。 2 我就與你立約,使你的後裔極其繁多。」 3 亞伯蘭俯伏在地,神又對他說: 4 「我與你立約:你要做多國的父。 5 從此以後,你的名不再叫亞伯蘭,要叫亞伯拉罕,因為我已立你做多國的父。 6 我必使你的後裔極其繁多,國度從你而立,君王從你而出。 7 我要與你並你世世代代的後裔堅立我的約,做永遠的約,是要做你和你後裔的神。 8 我要將你現在寄居的地,就是迦南全地,賜給你和你的後裔永遠為業,我也必做他們的神。」
始定割禮
9 神又對亞伯拉罕說:「你和你的後裔,必世世代代遵守我的約。 10 你們所有的男子都要受割禮,這就是我與你並你的後裔所立的約,是你們所當遵守的。 11 你們都要受割禮[a],這是我與你們立約的證據。 12 你們世世代代的男子,無論是家裡生的,是在你後裔之外用銀子從外人買的,生下來第八日,都要受割禮。 13 你家裡生的和你用銀子買的,都必須受割禮。這樣,我的約就立在你們肉體上做永遠的約。 14 但不受割禮的男子,必從民中剪除,因他背了我的約。」
易撒萊名為撒拉
15 神又對亞伯拉罕說:「你的妻子撒萊,不可再叫撒萊,她的名要叫撒拉。 16 我必賜福給她,也要使你從她得一個兒子。我要賜福給她,她也要做多國之母,必有百姓的君王從她而出。」 17 亞伯拉罕就俯伏在地喜笑,心裡說:「一百歲的人還能得孩子嗎?撒拉已經九十歲了,還能生養嗎?」 18 亞伯拉罕對神說:「但願以實瑪利活在你面前。」
應許生以撒
19 神說:「不然,你妻子撒拉要給你生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫以撒。我要與他堅定所立的約,做他後裔永遠的約。 20 至於以實瑪利,我也應允你,我必賜福給他,使他昌盛,極其繁多。他必生十二個族長,我也要使他成為大國。 21 到明年這時節,撒拉必給你生以撒,我要與他堅定所立的約。」
始受割禮
22 神和亞伯拉罕說完了話,就離開他上升去了。 23 正當那日,亞伯拉罕遵著神的命,給他的兒子以實瑪利和家裡的一切男子,無論是在家裡生的,是用銀子買的,都行了割禮。 24 亞伯拉罕受割禮的時候,年九十九歲。 25 他兒子以實瑪利受割禮的時候,年十三歲。 26 正當那日,亞伯拉罕和他兒子以實瑪利,一同受了割禮。 27 家裡所有的人,無論是在家裡生的,是用銀子從外人買的,也都一同受了割禮。

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.
