Genesis 17
1 Abram loe saning qui takawt, takawtto naah, Angraeng mah amtueng thuih; anih khaeah, Kai loe Thacak Sithaw ah ka oh; na koep thai hanah, ka hmaa ah caeh ah.
And when Abram was ninety and nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 Kai hoi nang salakah lokmaihaih ka sak moe, nang to pop parai ah kang pungsak han, tiah a naa.
And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 To naah Abram loe long ah akuep; Sithaw mah anih khaeah,
And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 khenah, ka sak ih lokmaihaih loe nang khaeah oh; nang loe prae kami boih ih ampa ah na om tih.
As for me, behold, my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Nang ih ahmin loe Abram, tiah kawk mak ai boeh; Abraham, tiah ni kawk tih boeh; nang loe prae kami boih ih ampa ah kang sak boeh.
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 Athaih paroeai kang thaisak moe, nang khae hoiah kami congca kang coengsak han; siangpahrangnawk doeh nang khae hoiah ni tacawt o tih.
And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee; and kings shall proceed from thee.
7 Kai loe na Sithaw, na caanawk ih Sithaw ah ka oh moe, nang hoi na caanawk boih nuiah dungzan khoek to ka sak ih lokmaihaih to ka caksak han.
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee, in their generations, for an everlasting covenant; to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee.
8 Vaihi angvin ah na ohhaih prae, Kanaan prae boih to dungzan ah toep hanah, nang hoi na hnuk ah angzo na caanawk khaeah ka paek han; kai loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, tiah a naa.
And I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land in which thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9 To pacoengah Sithaw mah Abraham khaeah, Nangmah hoi na hnuk ah angzo han koi na caanawk boih mah loe, ka sak ih lokmaihaih to pazui oh.
And God said to Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee, in their generations.
10 Hae loe nangmah hoi na hnuk ah angzo han koi na caanawk salakah, na pazui o han ih ka lokmaihaih ah oh; nangcae thung ih nongpa boih tangzat hin aat oh.
This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep between me and you, and thy seed after thee; Every male-child among you shall be circumcised.
11 Tangzat hin to aat oh; to loe kai hoi nang salakah sak ih lokmaih angmathaih ah om tih.
And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12 Angzo han koi na caanawk boih, na imthung ah tapen kami, to tih ai boeh loe nangmah ih acaeng na ai, phoisa hoi qan ih prae kalah kami boih, ni tazetto koep naah tangzat hin aat oh.
And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male-child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, who [is] not of thy seed.
13 Na imthung ah tapen kami doeh, phoisa hoi qan ih kami doeh, tangzat hin aah han angaih; na taksa nuiah ka sak ih lokmaihaih to dungzan khoek to om tih.
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 Tangzat hin aat ai caa nongpa, tangzat hin aat ai kami loe, acaeng thung hoiah pahnawt ah; anih loe ka lokmaihaih phraekung ah ni oh, tiah a naa.
And the uncircumcised male-child, whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
15 Sithaw mah Abram khaeah, na zu Sarai loe Sarai, tiah kawk hmah lai ah; anih ih ahmin loe Sarah, tiah om tih boeh.
And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah [shall] her name [be].
16 Anih to tahamhoihaih ka paek han, anih mah capa maeto na sah pae tih; ue, anih to tahamhoihaih ka paek han, anih loe prae kami boih ih amno ah om tih; siangpahrangnawk doeh anih thung hoiah ni tacawt tih, tiah a naa.
And I will bless her, and give thee a son also by her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations; kings of people shall proceed from her.
17 Abraham loe mikhmai akuep tathuk moe, pahnuih pacoengah, a palung thung hoiah, Saning cumvaito kaom kami mah caa sah vop tih maw? Saning qui takawt, takawtto kaom, Sarah mah caa sah vop tih maw? tiah thuih.
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
18 Abraham mah Sithaw khaeah, Aw Ishmael loe na hmaa ah hing nasoe, tiah a naa.
And Abraham said to God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19 Sithaw mah, Na zu Sarah mah capa na sah pae tih; anih ih ahmin to Issak, tiah sah ah; anih hoi anih hnuk ah angzo a caanawk khaeah doeh dungzan lokmaihaih to ka sak han.
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, [and] with his seed after him.
20 Ishmael han na thuih ih lok to ka thaih boeh; khenah, anih to tahamhoihaih ka paek han, athaih ka thaisak moe, pop parai ah ka pungsak han; anih loe ukkung hatlai hnetto ih ampa ah om ueloe, anih to kalen parai acaeng ah kang coengsak han.
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21 Toe hmabang saning vaihi atue ah, Sarah mah ang sak pae han ih Issak hoiah ni lokmaihaih to ka sak han, tiah a naa.
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this set time in the next year.
22 Lokthuih boih pacoengah, Sithaw loe Abraham khae hoiah caeh tahang ving.
And he ceased talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
23 To na niah Abraham mah a capa Ishmael, a imthung ah tapen kaminawk boih, phoisa hoi qan ih kaminawk boih, imthung ah kaom nongpa boih to kawk moe, Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, tangzat hin to aahsak.
And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin, in the same day, as God had said to him.
24 Tangzat hin aah naah, Abraham loe saning qui takawt, takawtto oh boeh.
And Abraham [was] ninety and nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 A capa Ishmael loe saning hatlai thumto oh boeh.
And Ishmael his son [was] thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 Abraham hoi a capa Ishmael loe to na niah tangzat hin aah hoi hmaek.
In the same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
27 Abraham im ah kaom nongpa boih, anih im ah tapen nongpa boih, prae kalah ah phoisa hoi qan ih kaminawk boih, angmah hoi nawnto tangzat hin aah o.
And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
