And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.

And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,

4 “Kai khaw he, nang taengah ka paipiaom vanbangla namtom hlangping kah a napa lana om ni.

And I, behold! my covenant [is] with you, and you shall be a father of a multitude of nations.

And your name shall no more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraam, for I have made you a father of many nations.

And I will increase you very exceedingly, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

And I will establish my covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you.

And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land wherein you sojourn, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

And God said to Abraam, You also shall fully keep my covenant, you and your seed after you for their generations.

And this [is] the covenant which you shall fully keep between me and you, and between your seed after you for their generations; every male of you shall be circumcised.

And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.

And the child of eight days [old] shall be circumcised by you, every male throughout your generations, and [the servant] born in the house and he that is bought with money, of every son of a stranger, who is not of your seed.

And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from its family, for he has broken my covenant.

And Abraam fell upon his face, and laughed; and spoke in his heart, saying, Shall there be a child to one who is a hundred years old, and shall Sarrha who is ninety years old, bear?

And Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before you.

And God said to Abraam, Yes, behold, Sarrha your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to him and to his seed after him.

20 Tedae Ishmael ham khaw ka yaak ngawn ne. Anih khaw yoethen ka paek vetih ka pungtai sak ni. Muep muep ka ping sak phoeiah khoboei hlai nit a sak vetih pilnu la ka khueh ni.

And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard you, and, behold, I have blessed him, and will increase him and multiply him exceedingly; twelve nations shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to you at this time, in the next year.

And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.
