Genesis 17

وَلَمَّا كَانَ أَبْرَامُ ابْنَ تِسْعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ سَنَةً ظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ. سِرْ أَمَامِي وَكُنْ كَامِلاً،

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.

فَأَجْعَلَ عَهْدِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَأُكَثِّرَكَ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا».

And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

فَسَقَطَ أَبْرَامُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ. وَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ مَعَهُ قَائِلاً:

And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

«أَمَّا أَنَا فَهُوَذَا عَهْدِي مَعَكَ، وَتَكُونُ أَبًا لِجُمْهُورٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ،

As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

فَلاَ يُدْعَى اسْمُكَ بَعْدُ أَبْرَامَ بَلْ يَكُونُ اسْمُكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، لأَنِّي أَجْعَلُكَ أَبًا لِجُمْهُورٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ.

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.

وَأُثْمِرُكَ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَأَجْعَلُكَ أُمَمًا، وَمُلُوكٌ مِنْكَ يَخْرُجُونَ.

And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

وَأُقِيمُ عَهْدِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ، عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا، لأَكُونَ إِلهًا لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ.

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.

وَأُعْطِي لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أَرْضَ غُرْبَتِكَ، كُلَّ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ مُلْكًا أَبَدِيًّا. وَأَكُونُ إِلهَهُمْ».

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.

وَقَالَ اللهُ لإِبْرَاهِيم: «وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَحْفَظُ عَهْدِي، أَنْتَ وَنَسْلُكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ.

And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

هذَا هُوَ عَهْدِي الَّذِي تَحْفَظُونَهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ: يُخْتَنُ مِنْكُمْ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ،

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.

فَتُخْتَنُونَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِكُمْ، فَيَكُونُ عَلاَمَةَ عَهْدٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ.

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

اِبْنَ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ يُخْتَنُ مِنْكُمْ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ: وَلِيدُ الْبَيْتِ، وَالْمُبْتَاعُ بِفِضَّةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ ابْنِ غَرِيبٍ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ.

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.

يُخْتَنُ خِتَانًا وَلِيدُ بَيْتِكَ وَالْمُبْتَاعُ بِفِضَّتِكَ، فَيَكُونُ عَهْدِي فِي لَحْمِكُمْ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا.

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.

وَأَمَّا الذَّكَرُ الأَغْلَفُ الَّذِي لاَ يُخْتَنُ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِهِ فَتُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ النَّفْسُ مِنْ شَعْبِهَا. إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَكَثَ عَهْدِي».

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.

وَقَالَ اللهُ لإِئبْرَاهِيمَ: «سَارَايُ امْرَأَتُكَ لاَ تَدْعُو اسْمَهَا سَارَايَ، بَلِ اسْمُهَا سَارَةُ.

And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

وَأُبَارِكُهَا وَأُعْطِيكَ أَيْضًا مِنْهَا ابْنًا. أُبَارِكُهَا فَتَكُونُ أُمَمًا، وَمُلُوكُ شُعُوبٍ مِنْهَا يَكُونُونَ».

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.

فَسَقَطَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَضَحِكَ، وَقَالَ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «هَلْ يُولَدُ لابْنِ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ؟ وَهَلْ تَلِدُ سَارَةُ وَهِيَ بِنْتُ تِسْعِينَ سَنَةً؟».

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?

وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ِللهِ: «لَيْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَعِيشُ أَمَامَكَ!».

And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

فَقَالَ اللهُ: «بَلْ سَارَةُ امْرَأَتُكَ تَلِدُ لَكَ ابْنًا وَتَدْعُو اسْمَهُ إِسْحَاقَ. وَأُقِيمُ عَهْدِي مَعَهُ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا لِنَسْلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ.

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.

وَأَمَّا إِسْمَاعِيلُ فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ لَكَ فِيهِ. هَا أَنَا أُبَارِكُهُ وَأُثْمِرُهُ وَأُكَثِّرُهُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا. اِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَئِيسًا يَلِدُ، وَأَجْعَلُهُ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً.

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.

وَلكِنْ عَهْدِي أُقِيمُهُ مَعَ إِسْحَاقَ الَّذِي تَلِدُهُ لَكَ سَارَةُ فِي هذَا الْوَقْتِ فِي السَّنَةِ الآتِيَةِ».

But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنَ الْكَلاَمِ مَعَهُ صَعِدَ اللهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ابْنَهُ، وَجَمِيعَ وِلْدَانِ بَيْتِهِ، وَجَمِيعَ الْمُبْتَاعِينَ بِفِضَّتِهِ، كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَخَتَنَ لَحْمَ غُرْلَتِهِمْ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ كَمَا كَلَّمَهُ اللهُ.

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.

وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنَ تِسْعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ خُتِنَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِهِ،

And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

وَكَانَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُهُ ابْنَ ثَلاَثَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ خُتِنَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِهِ.

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ خُتِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُهُ.

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ بَيْتِهِ وِلْدَانِ الْبَيْتِ وَالْمُبْتَاعِينَ بِالْفِضَّةِ مِنِ ابْنِ الْغَرِيبِ خُتِنُوا مَعَهُ.

And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
