經云、我命爾為萬民父焉、且上帝使死者生、變無為有亞伯拉罕篤信上帝、故在其前、得為吾眾之父、

亚伯拉罕所信的，是那叫死人复活、使无变为有的神，他在主面前作我们世人的父。如经上所记：“我已经立你作多国的父。”

亚伯拉罕在上帝面前是我们所有人的父，正如圣经上说：“我已经立你为万族之父。”他所信的上帝是能够使死人复活、使无变有的上帝。

如经上所记：“我已经立了你作万国的父。”他所信的，是叫死人得生命、使无变为有的神。

如經云、我立爾為萬邦之父、夫上帝即甦諸死者、命無為有者也、

蓋亞伯漢實為萬民之父。經曰：『吾使爾為萬邦之父』此之謂也。顧其所以能在天主之前為眾人之父者、亦曰篤信天主而已。蓋惟天主能予死者以生命、而出萬有於無有耳。

As it is written:“ I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed— the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

It is written,“ I have made you a father of many nations.”( Genesis 17:5) God considers Abraham to be our father. The God that Abraham believed in gives life to the dead. Abraham’s God also creates things that did not exist before.

as it is written,“ I have made you the father of many nations”— in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.

That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him,“ I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.

As it is written: I have made you the father of many nations— in the presence of the God in whom he believed, the one who gives life to the dead and calls things into existence that do not exist.

( As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed,[ even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

( as it is written,“ I have made you the father of many nations”). He is our father in the presence of God whom he believed– the God who makes the dead alive and summons the things that do not yet exist as though they already do.

As it is written,“ I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

且選世之不貴者、見棄者、人視為無有者、以廢世之有者、

我與爾約、命爾為萬民父、今而後、不復名爾為亞伯蘭、乃以亞伯拉罕稱爾、因我命爾為萬民父焉。

其所知者、則預定效其子、使彼為眾子中冢子、其所預定者、則召之、所召者、則稱義之、所稱義者、則加榮之、

父起死者而甦之、子甦所欲者亦若是、

夫神所以生、肉無益、我所言者、神也、生也、

浸假甦耶穌者之神在爾心、則甦基督之上帝、以其神牖于爾衷、甦爾死體、

素爾異邦人、陷罪惡如死焉、從世俗、服在空乘權者、即惑不信者之神、我猶太人、素逞嗜欲、任血氣、縱私意、本當服刑、如異邦人、惟上帝洪慈、愛我甚溥、當我陷罪如死時、乃使我與基督俱甦、而爾曹以恩得救矣、

汝素非上帝民、今為上帝民、素未沾恩、今已沾恩、

我誠告爾、時至、今是也、死者必聞上帝子之聲、而聞之者必生、

我導爾出、以享平康、必欣然以往、山岡緣爾謳歌、林木為爾鼓掌。

曰、上帝獨猶太人之上帝乎、抑異邦人之上帝乎、曰、亦異邦人之上帝也、

是以一人血氣雖衰、生育蕃衍、如眾星之在天、猶海沙之無量、

生萬有者上帝也、善自訴於本丟彼拉多前者、基督耶穌也、於上帝暨基督前、余命爾、

有人自遠方、有人自北自西、有人自秦國而至。

挪亞得上帝默示未來之事、信而畏之、遂造方舟、以救其眷屬、於是挪亞罪此世、信而得稱義、

良朋當思之、主觀一日猶千年、千年猶一日、

越在疇昔、我立斯民、未來之事、我皆預言、莫不徵應、孰能與我比儗哉、如有其人、使試言未來事、以為徵據。

我將錫嘏、賜之生子、為群民母、列王由之出。

曰、縱有之、亦無可誇、若亞伯拉罕恃己所行而稱義、則有可誇、惟在上帝前、本無可誇也、

我布穹蒼、造寰宇、使之奠定、無不應命。

又曰、時有語人者云、爾非我民、異日將稱為永生上帝眾子、

經云、前之亞當、血氣之人、余言後亞當者、甦人之神、

謂北方曰、當反我民、謂南方曰、無阻我民、使我子女、歸從四極、

願全能之上帝、鍚嘏於爾、使爾繁衍、為兆民祖。

勿自以為亞伯拉罕吾祖也、吾語爾、上帝能使此石為亞伯拉罕子孫焉、

至以實馬利、我應爾求、我將錫嘏其裔、繁衍不可勝數、必出十二牧伯、昌大其國。

亞伯拉罕繼娶、名基都喇、生心蘭、約山、米但、米田、益八、書亞。約山生示巴、底但。底但生亞書利、利都是、利烏米。米田生以法、以弗、哈諾、亞庇大、以勒大、咸屬基都喇子孫。○亞伯拉罕以凡所有遺於以撒。當其存日、眾庶子各有所予、使往東方、以避以撒。亞伯拉罕享壽一百七十有五。壽高年邁、氣絕而終、乃返其本、其子以撒以實馬利葬之於麥比拉穴、與慢哩相對、即赫人鎖轄子以弗崙之田、昔亞伯拉罕所購者、其妻撒拉亦葬於此。○
