2 Ad-akna arkawal ən tassaqq-in dər-ək, akfaq-qay əzzurriya iknan igət.»

3 Issəjad Abram daɣ aṃadal, ilas Məššina iššewal:

4 «Ənta da arkawal ən tassaqq-in dər-ək: ad təqqəlaɣ əmaraw ən təmattiwen əknanen igət,

5 wər za-tələsa ətəwəɣra s Abram, eṣəm-nak ad-iqqəl Ibrahim fəlas əmaraw ən təmattiwen əknanen igət a kay z-aga.

6 A-kay-əkanna əsəssirəw, təqqəla šimattiwen a daɣ z-agin mənokalan.

7 Ad-ak-əṭṭəfaɣ arkawal iɣlalan ən tassaqq-in, əṭṭəfaq-qu y əzzurriya-nnak ihayawan əs hayawan dəffər-ək fəl ad-əqqəla Məššina-nnak kay d əzzurriya-nnak.

8 A-kay-akfa kay d əzzurriya-nnak akal wa daɣ tənnəftaɣa, akal kul wa n Kanan. Akal wa ad-iggəz təla n əzzurriya-nnak har faw, əqqəla Məššina-nnet.

9 Iṇṇa Məššina y Ibrahim: «Əmərədda, kay d əzzurriya-nnak ihayawan əs hayawan ad-təṭṭəfam arkawal ən tassaqq-in dər-wan.

10 Ənta da təməwit as za-təṭṭəfa arkawal ən tassaqq-in dər-wan, kay d əzzurriya-nnak: I daɣ-wan iṃosan yay ad-ammaṇkad.

15 Iṇṇa Məššina y Ibrahim: «Tanṭut-nak wər tat təllisa teɣaray əs Saray eṣəm-net ad-iqqəl Sarata.

16 A fall-as aga albaraka aṃaran akfaq-qay dər-əs barar. A fall-as aga albaraka təqqəl təmarawt ən təmattiwen šiyyaḍ n əddənet, əg̣mədan-tanat-du mənokalan.

17 Issəjad Ibrahim daɣ aṃadal, ad iḍazzu. Iṇṇa daɣ ṃan-net: «Mas du-z-arəw i igan ṭemeday n awatay? Aṃaran Sarata təgat ṭazayat təṃərwen n awatay ma zza-tassahu?»

18 Təzzar iṇṇa Ibrahim i Məššina: «Igd-i ad iddar Ismaɣil, təṣṣana daɣ-as.»

19 Məššina iṇṇa: «Kala kala, tanṭut-nak Sarata ad-təgrəw barar as za-tagaɣ eṣəm Isxaq. A das əṭṭəfaɣ arkawal iɣlalan ənta d əzzurriya-nnet.

20 Mišan ad-əqbəla maṇsay-nak y Ismaɣil: a fall-as aga albaraka, əsəssirəwaq-qu, agaq-qu a wər nəla əket. Ad-arəw ṃaraw mənokalan d əššin, agaq-qu əmaraw ən tamattay təknat igət.

21 Mišan ad-əṭṭəfa arkawal y Isxaq a za-təgrəwa əd Sarata azzaman a da azanen.»

22 As iɣrad Məššina awal y Ibrahim, ig̣mad-as ənəfilal.

23 Ibrahim idkal Ismaɣil d eklan-net kul win ɣur-əs əhunen əd win d-izzənza, xasil yayyan n ahan-net kul, isammaṇkad-tan əzəl wen da, əmmək wa as t-omar Məššina. Ibrahim iga ṭazayat təṃərwen n awatay əd ṭaza, Ismaɣil barar-net iga ṃaraw elan əd karad as əmməṇkadan. Əmməṇkadan əzəl wen da əntanay əd yayyan kul n ahan n Ibrahim, eklan-net win ɣur-əs əhunen əd win d-izzənza daɣ təsədag.

Arcana Coelestia #2051

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

2051. Circumcising he shall be circumcised. That this signifies that they must wholly remove from themselves the loves of self and of the world, that is, that they must do this who are within the church and who are signified by him “that is born in the house,” and by him “that is bought with silver,” is evident from the representation of circumcision,” as being purification from the loves of self and of the world (see above, n. 2039). It is here repeated that they are to be circumcised, and it is said, “circumcising he shall be circumcised,” by which is expressed the necessity, that is, for their being wholly purified from those loves. And as those are signified who are within the church, the “sons that are strangers” are not mentioned here, because by them (as shown above, n. 2049) are signified those who are outside the church.

[2] From the repetition of what was said in the preceding verse concerning those born in the house and those bought with silver, everyone can see that there is a Divine arcanum which is not seen from the sense of the letter. The arcanum is, that purification from those filthy loves is necessary most of all within the church, and this for the reason that they who are within the church are able to render holy things themselves impure, which they who are outside the church-that is, the Gentiles cannot do; so that the danger of damnation is greater in the case of the former. Moreover those who are within the church are able to form principles of falsity contrary to the very truths of faith, and to become imbued with them; whereas those who are outside the church cannot do this, because they are ignorant of these truths. Thus the former can profane holy truths, but not the latter (concerning which more may be seen in Part First, n. 1059, 1327, 1328).
