所以從一個如同已經死了的人，就生出了許多人，像天空的星那樣眾多，像海邊的沙那樣無法數算。

所以从一个仿佛已死的人就生出子孙，如同天上的星那样众多，海边的沙那样无数。

所以，从一个仿佛已死的人竟生出子孙，如同天上的星那样众多，海边的沙那样无数。

所以，从一个垂暮之年的人生出许多子孙，好像天上的星、海边的沙那么多。

所以从一个好像已死的人，竟然生出许多子孙来，仿佛天上的星那么众多，海边的沙那么无数。

所以从一个如同已经死了的人，就生出了许多人，像天空的星那样众多，像海边的沙那样无法数算。

故此竟從一個人、又是彷彿死了的、生出子孫來，像天上的星辰那麼眾多，像海濱的沙那麼無數。

故自一人猶已死者、生育如天星之繁多、海沙之無數、○

是以一人血氣雖衰、生育蕃衍、如眾星之在天、猶海沙之無量、

故由一人、身若已死者、生育蕃衍、如天星之眾、如海沙之無數、

因此之故、以一衰邁瀕死之人、其所出子孫、如天上之星、海濱之沙、有不可勝數者焉。

And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

Abraham was past the time when he could have children. But many children came from that one man. They were as many as the stars in the sky. They were as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. No one could count them.

Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead— a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them.

Therefore, from one man— in fact, from one as good as dead— came offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and as innumerable as the grains of sand along the seashore.

Therefore even from one man, and one who was as good as dead at that, there were born descendants who were just as the stars of heaven in number, and as the innumerable grains of sand along the seashore.

Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude— innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea- shore, innumerable.

Therefore from one man— in fact, from one as good as dead— came offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as innumerable as the grains of sand by the seashore.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead,[ so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

So in fact children were fathered by one man– and this one as good as dead– like the number of stars in the sky and like the innumerable grains of sand on the seashore.

Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

我必定大大祝福你，使你的後裔大大增多，如同天上的星辰、海邊的沙粒；你的後裔必占有仇敵的城門。

但你說過：『我必定厚待你，使你的後裔如同海邊的沙粒，多得無法數清。』」

耶和華把他帶到外面，說：「你向天觀看，如果你能數清星辰，就去數吧！」又對他說：「你的後裔也必如此眾多。」

以色列啊，雖然你的子民多如海邊的沙粒，卻只有其中的餘剩者將回歸。滅絕已經註定，公義必如水漫溢，

我必使你的後裔增多，如同天上的星辰，我必把所有這些地都賜給你的後裔；地上萬國都必因你的後裔而蒙福，

正如經上所記：「我已經指派你為眾多民族的父。」亞伯拉罕所信的那一位，就是叫死人得生命、使無變為有的神。亞伯拉罕在沒有盼望的時候，仍然懷著盼望去相信，因而成為眾多民族的父，正如先前所說：「你的後裔將要如此眾多。」他快到一百歲的時候，想到自己的身體如同已經死了，又想到撒拉也已經不能生育，但是他的信仰卻沒有軟弱。

它將出去迷惑在大地四角中的列國，就是歌革和瑪各，召集他們參與戰爭；他們的人數多如海沙。

撒母耳對他們說：「今天，耶和華在你們中間作見證，他的受膏者也作見證：你們在我的手中沒有找到什麼。」他們說：「願他作見證！」

你的後裔也會多如沙粒，你腹中所生的會多如細沙；他們的名號在我面前不會被剪除，也不會被除滅。」

因此我建議，把以色列全軍從但到比爾-謝巴都招聚到你這裡，他們多如海邊的沙粒；你親自率領出戰，

以賽亞論到以色列人，呼喊說：「以色列子民的人數雖然多如海沙，將要得救的卻是剩餘的少數。
