Genesis 17
1 Pamene Abramu anali ndi zaka 99, Yehova anamuonekera nati, “Ine ndine Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse. Ukhale munthu wochita zolungama nthawi zonse.
When Abram was nynetye yere olde and ix. the LORde apeared to hym sayenge: I am the almyghtie God: walke before me ad be vncorrupte.
2 Ndipo Ine ndikulonjeza kuti ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri.”
And I wyll make my bonde betwene the and me and wyll multiplye the excedyngly.
3 Pomwepo Abramu anadziponya pansi ndipo Mulungu anati kwa iye,
And Abra fell on his face. And God talked moreover with hym saynge:
4 “Pangano langa ndi iwe ndi ili: Udzakhala kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
I am beholde my testamet is with the that thou shalt be a father of many natios.
5 Sudzatchedwanso Abramu; dzina lako lidzakhala Abrahamu, chifukwa ndakusandutsa kukhala kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
Therfore shalt thou no more be called Abram but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made the
6 Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri motero kuti mitundu yambiri ya anthu idzatuluka mwa iwe. Mafumunso adzatuluka mwa iwe.
and I will multiplye the excedyngly and wyll make nations of the: yee and kynges shall sprynge out of the.
7 Pangano langa ndi iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu za mibado ya mʼtsogolo lidzakhala la muyaya. Ndidzakhala Mulungu wako ndi Mulungu wa zidzukulu zako.
Moreover I will make my bonde betwene me and the and thy seed after the in their tymes to be an everlastynge testament So that I wyll be God vnto the and to thy seed after the.
8 Dziko lonse la Kanaani, limene iwe ukukhala tsopano, ndalipereka kwa iwe ndi kwa zidzukulu zako kuti likhale chuma chanu mpaka muyaya. Ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wa zidzukulu zako.”
And I will geue vnto the ad to thy seed after the the lande where in thou arte a straunger: Euen all the lande of Canaan for an everlastynge possession and wil be their God.
9 Kenaka Mulungu anati kwa Abrahamu, “Koma iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako mʼmibado ya mʼtsogolomo, sungani pangano langali.
And God sayde vnto Abraha: Se thou kepe my testamente both thou and thy seed after the in their tymes:
10 Iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako muzisunga pangano ili loti mwamuna aliyense pakati panupa azichita mdulidwe.
This is my testamente which ye shall kepe betwene me and you and thy seed after the that ye circucyse all youre men childern ye shall circumcyse
11 Kuyambira tsopano muzichita mdulidwe ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro cha pangano langa ndi iwe.
the foreskynne of youre flesh ad it shal be a token of the bond betwixte me and you.
12 Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mibado ya mʼtsogolomo mwana wamwamuna aliyense pakati panu amene wakwana masiku asanu ndi atatu ayenera kuchita mdulidwe. Awa ndi ana obadwa mʼbanja lako, kapena akapolo ochita kugula ndi ndalama, mlendo osakhala wa mʼmbumba yako.
And euery manchilde when it is viij. dayes olde shal be circucysed amonge you in youre generations and all servauntes also borne at home or boughte with money though they be straungers and not of thy seed.
13 Achite mdulidwe ndithu mwana wamwamuna aliyense, mbadwa ngakhale kapolo wochita kugula ndi ndalama, ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro pa thupi lanu cha pangano langa lamuyaya.
The seruaunte borne in thy housse ad he also that is bought with money must needes be circumcysed that my testament may be in youre flesh for an everlastinge bonde.
14 Mwamuna aliyense amene adzakhala wosachita mdulidwe adzachotsedwa pakati pa anthu ake chifukwa sanasunge pangano langa.”
Yf there be any vncircuncysed manchilde that hath not the forskynne of his flesh cutt of his soule shall perish from his people: because he hath broke my testamet
15 Mulungu anatinso kwa Abrahamu, “Sarai mkazi wako, sudzamutchanso Sarai; dzina lake lidzakhala Sara.
And God sayde vnto Abraham. Sarai thy wyfe shall nomore be called Sarai: but Sara shall hir name be.
16 Ndidzamudalitsa ndipo adzakubalira mwana wamwamuna. Ndidzamudalitsa kuti akhale mayi wa mitundu ya anthu; mafumu a anthuwo adzachokera mwa iye.”
For I will blesse her and geue the a sonne of her and will blesse her: so that people ye and kynges of people shall springe of her.
17 Abrahamu anadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pa Yehova, Iye anaseka nati, “Kodi munthu wa zaka 100 nʼkubala mwana? Kodi Sara adzabereka mwana pa msinkhu wa zaka makumi asanu ndi anayi?”
And Abraham fell vpon his face ad laughte and sayd in his harte: shall a childe be borne vnto hym that is an hundred yere olde ad shall Sara that is nynetie yere olde bere?
18 Ndipo Abrahamu anati kwa Mulungu, “Bwanji mumudalitse Ismaeli.”
And Abraha sayde vnto God. O that Ismaell myghte lyve in thy syghte.
19 Koma Mulungu anati, “Ayi, koma mkazi wako Sara adzakubalira mwana wamwamuna, ndipo udzamutcha Isake. Ndidzasunga pangano langa losatha ndi iyeyu komanso ndi zidzukulu zobwera pambuyo pake.
The sayde God: na Sara thy wife shall bere the a sonne ad thou shalt call his name Isaac. And I will make my bonde with him that it shall be an everlastynge bonde vnto his seed after him.
20 Koma za Ismaeli, ndamva. Ndidzamudalitsadi, ndipo adzakhala ndi zidzukulu zambiri. Iye adzakhala kholo la mafumu khumi ndi awiri ndipo mwa iye mudzatuluka mtundu waukulu wa anthu.
And as concernynge Ismaell also I haue herde thy request: loo I will blesse him and encrease him and multiplye him excedyingly. Twelve prynces shall be begete and I will make a great nation of him.
21 Koma ndidzasunga pangano langali ndi Isake amene Sara adzakubalira pofika nthawi ngati ino chaka chamawa.”
But my bonde will I make with Isaac which Sara shall bere vnto the: even this tyme twelue moneth.
22 Atatha kuyankhula, Mulungu anamuchokera Abrahamu.
And God left of talkynge with him and departed vp from Abraham.
23 Tsono Abrahamu anachita mdulidwe mwana wake Ismaeli ndi onse amene anali mʼbanja lake, mbadwa ngakhale kapolo ochita kugula ndi ndalama, monga mmene Mulungu analamulira.
And Abraham toke Ismaell his sonne and all the servauntes borne in his housse and all that was bought with money as many as were menchildren amonge the me of Abrahas housse and circumcysed the foreskynne of their flesh even the selfe same daye as God had sayde vnto him.
24 Abrahamu anali ndi zaka 99 pamene anachita mdulidwe,
Abraham was nynetie yere olde and. ix. when he cutt of the foreskynne of his flesh.
25 ndipo mwana wake Ismaeli anali ndi zaka khumi ndi zitatu;
And Ismaell his sonne was. xiij. yere olde when the foreskynne of hys flesh was circumcysed.
26 Onse, Abrahamu ndi mwana wake Ismaeli, anachita mdulidwe tsiku limodzi.
The selfe same daye was Abraha circucised and Ismael his sonne.
27 Aliyense wamwamuna wa pa banja pa Abrahamu, kuphatikizapo iwo amene anabadwira pa banja pomwepo kapena akapolo ogula ndi ndalama kwa alendo, anachita mdulidwe.
And all the men in his housse whether they were borne in his housse or bought wyth money (though they were straungers) were circumcysed with him.
