1 A: ibala: me ea lalelegei ode 99 da gidigiloba, Hina Gode da ema misini, amane sia: i, “Na da Gode Bagadedafa. Di da Na hadigi ganodini ahoanoma amola hou moloidafa fawane hamoma.
When Abram was 99, the Lord appeared to him and told him, “I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and don't do wrong.
2 Na da ania gousa: su hamoi amo dafawane hamomu. Na da digaga dunu bagohame dima imunu.”
I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”
3 A: ibala: me da beguduli ea odagiga osobo digila sa: i. Amalalu, Gode da ema amane sia: i,
Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God told him,
4 “Na gousa: su dima da agoane. Di da dunu fi bagohame ilima eda agoane ba: mu.
“Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,
5 Na da di dunu fi bagohame ilima eda hamoi dagoiba: le, wali dia dio da A: ibala: me hame, be bu afadenene A: ibalaha: me hamoi dagoi.
so your name won't be Abram any longer. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I'm going to make you the father of many nations.
6 Di da mano bagohame lamu. Di da dunu fi bagohame lamu, amola fi hina bagade dunu bagohame di da lamu.
I will make sure you have a large number of descendants. They will become many nations, and some of their kings will also come from your line.
7 Na gousa: su Na da di amola digaga mano dilima Na da hamomu, da mae dagole dialalalumu. Na da dia Gode esalumu amola digaga mano huluane ilia Gode esalumu.
I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.
8 Di da wali Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini ga fi dunu agoane ba: sa. Be amo soge huluane, di eso huluane mae yolesili gagulaloma: ne, Na da di amola dia fa: no lalelegemu manolali dilima imunu. Amola Na da ilia Gode esalumu.”
I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”
9 Amalalu, Gode da A: ibalaha: mema amane sia: i, “Be di da Na gousa: su noga: le ouligima. Di amola digaga fa: no lalelegemu fi.
Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.
10 Na gousa: su dima amola dia manolali ilima - amo gousa: su di noga: le agoane ouligima. Dunu huluane dia fi amo ganodini da ilia gadofo damuma: mu.
This is my agreement with you and your descendants who come after you, the agreement you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 Dilia huluane gadofo damuma: mu. Amo da Na gousa: su dilima amo dawa: digima: ne olelesu gala.
You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.
12 Dunu huluane dia fi ganodini fa: no lalelegesea, dunu mano huluane da lalelegesea, eso godoane fisili ilia gadofo damuma: mu. Amo da huluanedafa - dia fi amo ganodini lalelegei amola dunu mano ga fi amoga bidilai, amo huluane.
From now and for all generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. This includes not only your sons but also those born in your household or bought from foreigners.
13 Dia fi amo ganodini lalelegei o ga fi ilima bidi lai - huluane. Na gousa: su defei dilia hu amo ganodini hamoi da eso huluane mae dagole dialalalumu. Amo da Na dilima gousa: su hamoi dagoi olelesa.
You must circumcise those born in your household or bought from foreigners as a sign in your bodies of my eternal agreement.
14 Be nowa dunu da dia fi amo ganodini ea hu gadofo hame damui ba: sea, amo dunu da Na gousa: su fi dagoiba: le, fadegale fasima.”
Any uncircumcised male who refuses circumcision will be excluded from his people because he has broken my agreement.”
15 Gode da A: ibalaha: mema eno amane sia: i, “Dia uda Selai ema Selai dio bu mae sia: ma. Ea dio da wali Sela.
Then God told Abraham, “Now about Sarai your wife. Don't call her Sarai any longer. Instead, her name will be Sarah.
16 Na da ema hahawane dogolegele ilegemu. Amola e da diagofe lalelegemu. E da dunu fi bagohame ilima eme esalumu. Dunu fi hina dunu bagohame da ema lalelegemu.”
I will bless her and I promise to give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations, and kings will be among her descendants.”
17 A: ibalaha: me da beguduli ea odagiga osobo digila sa: ili, hahawane bagade ousu. E da ea dogo ganodini amane sia: i, “Dunu da 100 ode lai, amo mano lamu da defelela: ? Sela amola da ode 90 lai dagoiba: le, mano lama: bela: ?”
Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground. But inside he was laughing, asking himself, “How on earth could I have a son at the age of one hundred? How could Sarah have a child when she is ninety?”
18 E da Godema amane adole ba: i, “Isiama: ile da na fi ganodini na sogebi lamu da defeala: ?”
Abraham said to God, “May Ishmael always live under your blessing!”
19 Be Gode bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Dia uda Sela da dia manodafa dia da: i amoga hamoi, amo lalelegemu. Di da ema Aisage dio asulima. Na da Na gousa: su ema amola egaga mano ilima hamoi, amo hamedafa yolesimu. Amo gousa: su da mae dagole eso huluane dialalalusu liligi.
“No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement.
20 Dia adole ba: su amo Isiama: ile fidima: ne Na da nabi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Na da ema amola hahawane dogolegele ilegemu. Na da ema mano bagohame imunu. Ema da fi hina bagade dunu fagoyale amo lalelegemu, amola ea mano da dunu fi bagadedafa hamomu.
Now about Ishmael. I heard what you said, and I will also bless him. I will make sure he has a great many descendants. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.
21 Be Na gousa: sudafa da dia mano Aisage ema dialumu. Waha oubi wewaba amo ode enoga e da Selama lalelegemu.”
But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”
22 Gode da A: ibalaha: mema sia: i dagoiba: le, yolesili asi.
When God had finished speaking with Abraham he left him.
23 Amo esoga A: ibalaha: me da hedolo nabasu hou hamoi. E da Isiama: ile amola ea fi dunu huluane amola dunu da ea fi amo ganodini lalelegei amola udigili hawa: hamosu dunu e bidi lai, amo huluane ilia gadofo damui.
That day Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael as well as all those born in his household or purchased, in fact every male among the members of Abraham's household, just as God had told him.
24 A: ibalaha: me da lalelegele, ode 99 doaga: le, gadofo damui.
Abraham was 99 when he was circumcised,
25 Amola Isiama: ile da ea ode 13 amoga gadofo damui ba: i.
and his son Ishmael was thirteen.
26 A: ibalaha: me amola egefe Isiama: ile ela da eso afae ganodini gadofo damui.
Both Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
27 Amola dunu huluane A: ibalaha: me ea sosogo fi ganodini-amo da ea fi ganodini lalelegei, amola ga fi dunu e da bidilai dagoi-huluane da e amola gilisili gadofo damui ba: i.
All the males in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or purchased from foreigners, were circumcised with him.
