¹ Kad je Abramu bilo devedeset i devet godina, ukaza mu se Jahve pa mu reče: "Ja sam El Šadaj - Bog Svesilni, Mojim hodi putem i neporočan budi.

² A Savez svoj ja sklapam s tobom i silno ću te razmnožiti."

³ Abram pade ničice dok mu Bog govoraše dalje:

⁴ "A ovo je Savez moj s tobom: postat ćeš ocem mnogim narodima;

⁵ i nećeš se više zvati Abram - već Abraham će ti ime biti, jer naroda mnogih ocem ja te postavljam.

⁶ Silno ću te rodnim učiniti; narode ću iz tebe izvesti; i kraljevi će od tebe izaći.

⁷ Savez svoj sklapam između sebe i tebe i tvoga potomstva poslije tebe - Savez svoj za vjekove: ja ću biti Bogom tvojim i tvoga potomstva poslije tebe.

⁸ Tebi i tvome potomstvu poslije tebe dajem zemlju u kojoj boraviš kao pridošlica - svu zemlju kanaansku - u vjekovni posjed; a ja ću biti njihov Bog."

⁹ Još reče Bog Abrahamu: "A ti Savez čuvaj moj - ti i tvoje potomstvo poslije tebe u sve vijeke.

¹⁰ A ovo je Savez moj s tobom i tvojim potomstvom poslije tebe koji ćeš vršiti: svako muško među vama neka bude obrezano.

¹¹ Obrezujte se, i to neka bude znak Saveza između mene i vas.

¹² Svako muško među vama, kroz vaša pokoljenja, kad mu se navrši osam dana, neka bude obrezano; i rob, rođen u vašem domu, i onaj što bude kupljen od stranca, koji ne bude od vaše krvi.

¹³ Da, i rob rođen u tvome domu ili za novac kupljen mora se obrezati! Tako će moj Savez na vašem tijelu ostati vječnim Savezom.

¹⁴ Muško koje se ne bi obrezalo neka se odstrani od svoga roda: takav je prekršio moj Savez."

¹⁵ Još reče Bog Abrahamu: "Tvojoj ženi Saraji nije više ime Saraja: Sara će joj ime biti.

¹⁶ Nju ću ja blagosloviti i od nje ti dati sina; blagoslov ću na nju izliti te će se narodi od nje razviti; kraljevi će narodima od nje poteći."

¹⁷ Abraham pade ničice pa se nasmija i reče u sebi: "Onome komu je stotinu godina, zar se može roditi dijete? Zar će Sara u devedesetoj rod rađati!"

¹⁸ Abraham reče Bogu: "Neka tvojom milošću Jišmael poživi!"

¹⁹ A Bog reče: "Ipak će ti tvoja žena Sara roditi sina; nadjeni mu ime Izak. Savez svoj s njime ću sklopiti, Savez vječni s njime i s njegovim potomstvom poslije njega.

²⁰ I za Jišmaela uslišah te. Evo ga blagoslivljam: rodnim ću ga učiniti i silno ga razmnožiti; dvanaest će knezova od njega postati i u velik će narod izrasti.

²¹ Ali ću držati svoj Savez s Izakom, koga će ti roditi Sara dogodine u ovo doba."

²² Kad je završio razgovor s njim, od Abrahama Bog se podiže.

²³ Uzme zatim Abraham svoga sina Jišmaela i sve robove koji su bili rođeni u njegovu domu i sve koje je kupio novcem - sve muške ukućane - pa ih toga istog dana obreže, kako mu je Bog rekao.

²⁴ Abrahamu bijaše devedeset i devet godina kad se obrezao,

²⁵ a njegovu sinu Jišmaelu bijaše trinaest godina kad ga obreza.

²⁶ Tako su toga istog dana bili obrezani Abraham i njegov sin Jišmael;

²⁷ i svi muškarci njegova doma, rođeni u njegovoj kući ili za novac kupljeni od stranca - svi s njim bijahu obrezani.

¹ When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.

² I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."

³ Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

⁴ "As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

⁵ Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

⁶ I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

⁷ I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

⁸ I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God."

⁹ God said to Abraham, "As for you, you will keep my covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.

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

¹¹ You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

¹² He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your seed.

¹³ He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

¹⁴ The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."

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

¹⁶ I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."

¹⁷ Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"

¹⁸ Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you!"

¹⁹ God said, "No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

²⁰ As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

²¹ But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."

²² When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

²³ 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 foreskin in the 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 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

²⁶ In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

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