< Genesis 17 >

1 Sa nag-edad na si Abram ug 99 ka tuig, mipakita si Yahweh kaniya ug miingon, “Ako ang Dios nga Labing Gamhanan. Pagsunod kanako, ug pagmatarong.
When Abram was 99 years old, Yahweh appeared to him again and said to him, “I am God Almighty. I want you to live in a way that I will regard you as someone that cannot be criticized.
2 Unya pamatud-an ko ang akong kasabotan tali kanako ug kanimo, ug pasanayon ko ikaw pag-ayo.”
If you do that, I will make an agreement with you in which I will promise to enable you to have very many descendants.” [MTY]
3 Mihapa si Abraham sa yuta, ug ang Dios nakigsulti kaniya, nga nagaingon,
Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,
4 “Alang kanako, tan-awa, ang akong kasabotan anaa kanimo. Mahimo kang amahan sa daghang kanasoran.
“Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.
5 Dili na Abram ang imong ngalan, kondili Abraham na—kay ako kang gipili nga mahimong amahan sa daghang kanasoran.
And no longer will your name be Abram. Instead, your name will be Abraham, [which means ‘father of many nations,’] because the people of many nations will descend from you.
6 Himoon ko ikaw nga magmabungahon pag-ayo, ug himoon ko ang kanasoran gikan kanimo, ug ang mga hari magagikan kanimo.
I will enable you to have very many descendants, and I will cause them to become great nations/people-groups, and some of your descendants will become kings.
7 Pagatukoron ko ang kasabotan tali kanako ug kanimo, ug ang imong mga kaliwat sunod kanimo, sa tibuok nilang mga kaliwatan alang sa walay kataposang kasabotan, mahimong Dios kanimo ug sa mosunod nimong mga kaliwat.
I will make this agreement between me and you and your descendants. It will be an everlasting agreement to be in effect for many generations. This agreement is that I will be your God, and the God of your descendants.
8 Ihatag ko kanimo, ug sa mosunod nimong mga kaliwat, ang yuta diin ikaw nagpuyo, ang tanang kayutaan sa Canaan, alang sa walay kataposan nga kabtangan, ug mahimo nila ako nga Dios.”
I will give to you and to your descendants the land through which you are now traveling, all of the Canaan region. It will be an everlasting possession for your descendants, and I will be the God that they [will worship].”
9 Unya miingon ang Dios kang Abraham, “Alang kanimo, tipigi ang akong kasabotan, ikaw ug ang imong mga kaliwat sunod kanimo ngadto sa tibuok nilang mga kaliwatan.
Then God said to Abraham, “Now you must obey [your part of] the agreement that I am making with you, and your descendants must also obey it, for all generations.
10 Mao kini ang akong kasabotan, nga kinahanglan nimong tipigan, tali kanako ug kanimo ug sa imong mga kaliwatan sunod kanimo: Matag lalaki nga anaa kaninyo kinahanglan matuli.
This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.
11 Kinahanglan ka nga matuli, ug mao kini ang timaan sa kasabotan tali kanako ug kanimo.
(Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.
12 Matag lalaki nga anaa kaninyo nga nagpangidaron ug walo ka adlaw kinahanglan matuli, ngadto sa mga kaliwatan sa imong katawhan. Naglakip kini kaniya nga gipakatawo sa imong panimalay ug kaniya nga gipalit sa salapi gikan ni bisan kinsa nga langyaw nga dili lakip sa imong mga kaliwat.
Every male child among you must be circumcised when he is eight days old, in all future generations. That includes baby boys in your household or those born from slaves that have been bought, and baby boys of foreigners who live among you but do not belong to your household.
13 Siya usab nga natawo sa imong panimalay ug siya nga imong gipalit sa salapi kinahanglan nga tulion. Kining akong kasabotan maanaa sa inyong unod alang sa walay kataposan nga kasabotan.
It does not matter whether their parents are members of your household or slaves that have been bought; they must all be circumcised. Your bodies will have this mark to show [you have accepted] this everlasting agreement I am making.
14 Si bisan kinsa ang wala matuli nga lalaki nga dili tinuli sa unod sa iyang panit igasalikway gikan sa iyang katawhan. Giguba niya ang akong kasabotan.”
You must expel from your community any male who has not been circumcised, because [by not being circumcised] that person has disobeyed my agreement.”
15 Ang Dios nag-ingon kang Abraham, “Alang kang Sarai nga imong asawa, ayaw na siya pagatawaga nga Sarai. Hinuon, ang iyang ngalan mahimo nang Sara.
God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai, your wife, you must not call her Sarai any longer. [Since I changed your name, I will change her name also]. Her name will now be Sarah.
16 Panalanginan ko siya, ug pagahatagan ko ikaw ug anak nga lalaki pinaagi kaniya. Panalanginan ko siya, ug mahimo siyang inahan sa mga kanasoran. Ang mga hari sa katawhan magagikan kaniya.”
I will bless her, and she will surely give birth to a son for you. And I will bless her so much that she will be the ancestor of people of many nations. Kings of some people-groups will be descended from her.”
17 Unya mihapa si Abraham sa yuta, ug mikatawa, ug miingon sa iyang kasingkasing, “Makabuhat pa ba ug bata ang usa ka tawo nga nagpanuigon na ug 100? Ug makaanak pa ba si Sara, nga 90 na ang panuigon?”
Abraham prostrated himself with his face on the ground [to show respect to God]. But then he laughed as he said to himself, “Can a man who is a 100 years old become a father of a son? And since Sarah is 90 years old, how can she bear a child?”
18 Miingon si Abraham sa Dios, “O hinaot unta nga mabuhi si Ismael sa imong atubangan!”
Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”
19 Miingon ang Dios, “Dili, apan si Sara nga imong asawa magmabdos ug lalaki nga anak, ug kinahanglan nga imong panganlan siya ug Isaac. Tukoron ko ang kasabotan kaniya ingon nga walay kataposang kasabotan uban sa iyang mga kaliwat sunod kaniya.
Then God replied, “[No!] Your wife Sarah will bear a son for you. You must name him Isaac. I will establish my agreement with him, one which will be an everlasting agreement for him and his descendants.
20 Alang kang Ismael, nadungog ko ikaw. Tan-awa, ania ako magpanalangin kaniya, ug himoon ko siya nga magmabungahon, ug pasanayon ko siya nga madagayaon gayod. Mahimo siya nga amahan sa dose ka mga pangulo sa mga tribo, ug pagahimoon ko siyang dako nga nasod.
As for Ishmael, I have heard what you asked me to do for him. I will bless him so that he also will have many descendants. Among his descendants will be rulers of twelve nations. And I will cause his [descendants] [MTY] to also become a great nation.
21 Apan pagatukoron ko ang kasabotan uban kang Isaac, nga imabdos ni Sara kanimo sama niining taknaa sa sunod tuig.”
But Isaac, the son whom Sarah will give birth to at this time next year, is the one with whom I will establish my agreement.”
22 Sa dihang nahuman na siya sa pakigsulti kaniya, ang Dios mibiya kang Abraham.
When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.
23 Unya gikuha ni Abraham si Ismael nga iyang anak nga lalaki, ug ang tanang natawo sa iyang panimalay, ug kadtong tanang gipalit sa iyang salapi, ang matag kalalakin-an sa panimalay ni Abraham, ug gituli niya sila sa unod sa panit nianang adlawa, sumala sa gisulti sa Dios kaniya.
On that same day, Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the males that were in his household, including the sons of all the slaves he had bought, and circumcised them. He cut off their foreskins, just as God told him to do.
24 Si Abraham nagpangidaron ug 99 na ka tuig sa dihang gituli ang unod sa iyang panit.
Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),
25 Ug si Ismael nga iyang anak napulo ug tulo ka tuig ang edad sa dihang gituli ang panit sa iyang kinatawo.
and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.
26 Sa maong adlaw usab silang duha ni Abraham ug Ismael nga iyang anak gituli.
On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.
27 Ang tanang mga lalaki nga anaa sa iyang panimalay gituli uban kaniya, lakip kadtong mga natawo sa panimalay ug kadtong gipalit sa salapi gikan sa mga langyaw.
And all the males in his household, the ones who had been born there and those who had been bought from foreigners, were also circumcised.
