التكوين 17

الكتاب المقدس

عهد الختان

1 وَعِنْدَمَا كَانَ أَبْرَامُ فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَالتِّسْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، ظَهَرَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا هُوَ اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ. سِرْ أَمَامِي وَكُنْ كَامِلاً، 

2 فَأَجْعَلَ عَهْدِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَأُكَثِّرَ نَسْلَكَ جِدّاً». 

3 فَسَقَطَ أَبْرَامُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، فَخَاطَبَهُ اللهُ قَائِلاً: 

4 «هَا أَنَا أَقْطَعُ لَكَ عَهْدِي، فَتَكُونُ أَباً لأُمَمٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. 

5 وَلَنْ يُدْعَى اسْمُكَ بَعْدَ الآنَ أَبْرَامَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ الأَبُ الرَّفِيعُ) بَلْ يَكُونُ اسْمُكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ أَبٌ لِجُمْهُورٍ) لأَنِّي أَجْعَلُكَ أَباً لِجُمْهُورٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ؛ 

6 وَأُصَيِّرُكَ مُثْمِراً جِدّاً، وَأَجْعَلُ أُمَماً تَتَفَرَّعُ مِنْكَ، وَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ مُلُوكٌ. 

7 وَأُقِيمُ عَهْدِي الأَبَدِيَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ نَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ، فَأَكُونُ إِلَهاً لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ. 

8 وَأَهَبُكَ أَنْتَ وَذُرِّيَّتَكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ جَمِيعَ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، الَّتِي نَزَلْتَ فِيهَا غَرِيباً، مُلْكاً أَبَدِيًّا. وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً». 

9 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاحْفَظْ عَهْدِي، أَنْتَ وَذُرِّيَّتُكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ مَدَى أَجْيَالِهِمْ. 

10 هَذَا هُوَ عَهْدِي الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ الَّذِي عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَحْفَظُوهُ: أَنْ يُخْتَتَنَ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْكُمْ 

11 تَخْتِنُونَ رَأْسَ قُلْفَةِ غُرْلَتِكُمْ فَتَكُونُ عَلامَةَ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ 

12 تَخْتِنُونَ عَلَى مَدَى أَجْيَالِكُمْ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فِيكُمُ ابْنَ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ سَوَاءٌ كَانَ الْمَوْلُودُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ أَمْ كَانَ ابْناً لِغَرِيبٍ مُشْتَرىً بِمَالِكَ مِمَّنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ. 

13 فَعَلَى كُلِّ وَلِيدٍ سَوَاءٌ وُلِدَ فِي بَيْتِكَ أَمِ اشْتُرِيَ بِمَالٍ أَنْ يُخْتَنَ، فَيَكُونُ عَهْدِي فِي لَحْمِكُمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا. 

14 أَمَّا الذَّكَرُ الأَغْلَفُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُخْتَنْ، يُسْتَأْصَلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ قَوْمِهِ لأَنَّهُ نَكَثَ عَهْدِي». 

15 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: «أَمَّا سَارَايُ زَوْجَتُكَ فَلا تَدْعُوهَا سَارَايَ بَعْدَ الآنَ، بَلْ يَكُونُ اسْمُهَا سَارَةَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ أَمِيرةٌ). 

16 وَأُبَارِكُهَا وَأُعْطِيكَ ابْناً مِنْهَا. سَأُبَارِكُهَا وَأَجْعَلُهَا أُمّاً لِشُعُوبٍ، وَمِنْهَا يَتَحَدَّرُ مُلُوكُ أُمَمٍ». 

17 فَانْطَرَحَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَضَحِكَ قَائِلاً فِي نَفْسِهِ: «أَيُوْلَدُ ابْنٌ لِمَنْ بَلَغَ الْمِئَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ؟ وَهَلْ تُنْجِبُ سَارَةُ وَهِيَ فِي التِّسْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهَا؟» 

18 وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِلهِ: «لَيْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَحْيَا فِي رِعَايَتِكَ». 

19 فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «إِنَّ سَارَةَ زَوْجَتَكَ هِيَ الَّتِي تَلِدُ لَكَ ابْناً وَتَدْعُو اسْمَهُ إِسْحاقَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ يَضْحَكُ). وَأُقِيمُ عَهْدِي مَعَهُ وَمَعَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا. 

20 أَمَّا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، فَقَدِ اسْتَجَبْتُ لِطِلْبَتِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ. سَأُبَارِكُهُ حَقّاً، وَأَجْعَلُهُ مُثْمِراً، وَأُكَثِّرُ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ جِدّاً فَيَكُونُ أَباً لاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَئِيساً، وَيُصْبِحُ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً. 

21 غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَهْدِي أُبْرِمُهُ مَعَ إِسْحاقَ الَّذِي تُنْجِبُهُ لَكَ سَارَةُ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْقَادِمَةِ». 

22 وَلَمَّا انْتَهَى مِنْ مُحَادَثَتِهِ فَارَقَ اللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. 

23 وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ بِعَيْنِهِ أَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَجَمِيعَ الْمَوْلُودِينَ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَكُلَّ مَنِ اشْتُرِيَ بِمَالٍ، كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَخَتَنَ لَحْمَ غُرْلَتِهِمْ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ. 

24 وَكَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَالتِّسْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا خُتِنَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِهِ، 

25 أَمَّا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُهُ فَقَدْ كَانَ ابْنَ ثَلاثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ خُتِنَ فِي لَحْمِ غُرْلَتِهِ. 

26 وَهَكَذَا خُتِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ نَفْسِهِ. 

27 وَكَذَلِكَ خُتِنَ مَعَهُ كُلُّ رِجَالِ بَيْتِهِ الْمَوْلُودِينَ فِيهِ وَالْمُبْتَاعِينَ بِمَالٍ مِنَ الْغَرِيبِ.

التكوين 17

English Standard Version

Abraham and the Covenant of Circumcision

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless, (تك 6:9; تث 18:13; أي 1:1; مز 119:1; مت 5:48) 

2 that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” (تك 12:2; تك 13:16; تك 22:17) 

3 Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, (تك 17:17) 

4 “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. (رو 4:11; رو 4:16) 

5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. (نح 9:7; رو 4:17) 

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you. (تك 17:16; تك 35:11) 

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. (تك 26:24; تك 28:13; غل 3:17; عب 11:16) 

8 And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.” (تك 12:7; تك 13:15; خر 6:7; لا 26:12; مز 105:11) 

9 And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. 

10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 

11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. (أع 7:8; رو 4:11) 

12 He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, (خر 12:48; لا 12:3; لو 1:59; لو 2:21; في 3:5) 

13 both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money, shall surely be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant. 

14 Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.” 

Isaac’s Birth Promised

15 And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. 

16 I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.” (تك 18:10; تك 35:11) 

17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” (تك 17:3; تك 21:6; يو 8:56; رو 4:19) 

18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!” 

19 God said, “No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him. (تك 18:10; تك 21:2; تك 21:3; غل 4:23; غل 4:28) 

20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation. (تك 16:10; تك 21:13; تك 21:18; تك 25:12) 

21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.” (تك 21:2; تك 26:2) 

22 When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham. (تك 35:13) 

23 Then Abraham took Ishmael his son and all those born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very 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 day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. 

27 And all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
