1 A nd Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I the Almighty God: walk before my face, and be perfect.

وَلَمّا بَلَغَ أبْرامُ التّاسِعَةَ وَالتِّسْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، ظَهَرَ لَهُ اللهُ. وَقالَ لَهُ: «أنا اللهُ الجَبّارُ. أطِعْنِي وَعِشْ حَياةً خالِيَةً مِنْ كُلِّ شائِبَةٍ.

2 A nd I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.

فَإنْ فَعَلْتَ هَذا، سَأقْطَعُ عَهْداً بَينِي وَبَينَكَ. وَسَأُعطِيكَ نَسلاً كَثِيراً جِدّاً.»

3 A nd Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,

فَسَجَدَ أبْرامُ. فَقالَ لَهُ اللهُ:

4 I t is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.

«أمّا أنا، فَهَذا هُوَ عَهْدِي مَعَكَ: سَتَكُونُ أصلَ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

5 A nd thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

وَلَنْ يَكُونَ اسْمُكَ فِيما بَعْدُ أبْرامَ، بَلْ إبْراهِيمَ. فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ أباً لِشُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

6 A nd I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

سَأُكَثِّرُ نَسلَكَ، حَتِّى إنِّي سَأجْعَلُ شُعُوباً كَثِيرَةً تَخرُجُ مِنْكَ. وَسَيَخرُجُ مِنْكَ مُلُوكٌ.

7 A nd 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 to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

وَسَأقْطَعُ عَهْداً أبَدِيّاً بَينِي وَبَينَكَ وَبَينَ نَسلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ عَلَى مَدَى الأجْيالِ. فَأنا أتَعَهَّدُ بِأنْ أكُونَ إلَهاً لَكَ وَلِنَسلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ.

8 A nd I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them.

وَسَأُعْطِيكَ وَنَسلَكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي تَتَغَرَّبُ فِيها الآنَ، أرْضَ كَنْعانَ كُلَّها. سَأُعْطِيها لَكَ وَلَهُمْ مَقْتَنَىً أبَدِيّاً. وَسَأكُونُ لَهُمْ إلَهاً.»

9 A nd God said to Abraham, And thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.

ثُمَّ قالَ اللهُ لإبْراهِيمَ: «أمّا أنْتَ فاحفَظْ عَهْدِي، أنْتَ وَكُلُّ نَسلِكَ عَلَى مَدَى الأجْيالِ.

10 T his is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee—that every male among you be circumcised.

وَهَذا هُوَ عَهْدِي الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي أنْ تَحفَظُوهُ. هَذا هُوَ العَهْدُ بَينِي وَبَينَكَ وَبَينَ نَسلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ: عَلَى كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ بَينَكُمْ أنْ يُختَنَ.

11 A nd ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

اختِنُوا لَحْمَ غُرلَتِكُمْ. هَذِهِ هِيَ العَلامَةُ الَّتِي تَقْبَلُونَها لِلعَهْدِ بَينِي وَبَينَكُمْ.

12 A nd at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you—he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.

عَلَى كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ ابْنِ ثَمانِيَةِ أيّامٍ أنْ يُخْتَتَنَ عَلَى مَدَى أجْيالِكُمْ. كَما يَنْبَغِي أنْ يُخْتَتَنَ الخَدَمُ الَّذِينَ يُولَدُونَ فِي بَيتِكَ. كَذَلِكَ لِيُخْتَتَنْ كُلُّ مَنِ اشْتَرَيتُمُوهُ بِالمالِ عَبْداً مِنْ أيِّ أجْنَبِيٍّ، حَتَّى وَإنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ نَسلِكَ.

13 H e who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

فَلْيُخْتَتَنْ حَتَّى العَبْدُ المَولُودُ فِي بَيتِكَ أوِ العَبْدُ الَّذِي اشْتَرَيتَهُ بِمالِكَ. وَهَكَذا يَحْمِلُ جَسَدُكَ عَلامَةَ عَهْدِيَ الأبَدِيِّ.

14 A nd the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.

أمّا الَّذِي يَرْفُضُ أنْ يَخْتِنَ غُرلَتَهُ، فَسَيُقْطَعُ مِنْ شَعبِهِ. فَهَذا قَدْ كَسَرَ عَهْدِي.» إسْحاقُ: ابْنُ الوَعْد

15 A nd God said to Abraham, Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

وَقالَ اللهُ لإبْراهِيمَ: «وَأمّا زَوْجَتُكَ سارايُ، فَلَنْ تُدْعَى سارايُ فِيما بَعْدُ، إذْ سَيَكُونُ اسْمُها سارَةَ.

16 A nd I will bless her, and I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.

وَأنا سَأُبارِكُها. وَسَأُعِطِيكَ ابْناً مِنْها. وَسَأُبارِكُها، وَسَتُصْبِحُ أُمّاً لِشُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. وَسَيَخرُجُ مُلُوكٌ مِنْها.»

17 A nd Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

فأنْكَبَّ إبْراهِيمُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، وَضَحِكَ، وَقالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «أيُولَدُ ابْنٌ لِرَجُلٍ فِي المِئَةِ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ؟ أمْ يُمْكِنُ لِسارَةَ ذاتِ التِّسْعِينَ سَنَةً أنْ تُنْجِبَ؟»

18 A nd Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!

ثُمَّ قالَ إبْراهِيمُ للهِ: «أرْجُو أنْ تُنْعِمَ عَلَى إسْماعِيلَ بِرِضاكَ.»

19 A nd God said, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

فَقالَ اللهُ: «لا بَلْ سارَةُ سَتُنْجِبُ لَكَ وَلَداً، وَأنْتَ سَتُسَمِّيهِ إسْحاقَ. وَسَأحفَظُ عَهْدِي مَعَهُ وَمَعَ نَسلِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ عَهْداً أبَدِيّاً.

20 A nd for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

«أمّا دُعاؤكَ مِنْ أجلِ إسْماعِيلَ، فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ. فَسَأُبارِكُهُ، وَسَأُعْطِيهِ أبْناءً كَثِيرِينَ. وَسَيَكُونُ أباً لاثْنَي عَشَرَ رَئِيساً. وَسَأجْعَلُهُ شَعباً عَظِيماً.

21 B ut my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.

أمّا عَهْدِي فَسَأقْطَعُهُ مَعَ إسْحاقَ الَّذِي سَتُنْجِبُهُ سارَةُ لَكَ فِي مِثلِ هَذا الوَقْتِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ القادِمَةِ.»

22 A nd he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.

وَبَعْدَ أنْ أنْهَى اللهُ كَلامَهُ مَعَ إبْراهِيمَ، اختَفَى عَنْ نَظَرِهِ.

23 A nd Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money—every male among the people of Abraham's house—and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.

ثُمَّ أخَذَ إبْراهِيمُ ابْنَهُ إسْماعِيلَ وَكُلَّ العَبِيدِ المَولُودِينَ فِي بَيتِهِ وَالَّذِينَ اشْتَراهُمْ بِمالِهِ – أخَذَ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فِي بَيتِهِ، وَخَتَنَهُمْ جَميعاً فِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ نَفْسِهِ، كَما أمَرَهُ اللهُ.

24 A nd Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

وَكانَ إبْراهِيمُ فِي التّاسِعَةِ وَالتِّسْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِندَما خُتِنَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرلَتِهِ.

25 A nd Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

وَكانَ ابْنُهُ إسْماعِيلُ فِي الثّالِثَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِندَما خُتِنَ فِي لَحمِ غُرلَتِهِ.

26 I n the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

فِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ نَفْسِهِ خُتِنَ إبْراهِيمُ وَابْنُهُ إسْماعِيلُ.

27 a nd all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

وَخُتِنَ مَعَهُ جَميعُ الذُّكُورِ الَّذِينَ فِي بَيتِهِ، سَواءٌ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا عَبِيداً فِي بَيتِهِ، أمِ الَّذِينَ اشْتَراهُمْ بِمالٍ مِنْ أجنَبِيٍّ.
