Chakruok 17

1 Kane Abram ne ja-higni piero ochiko gochiko, Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorene mi nowachone niya, “An Nyasaye Maratego; bed ngʼama odimbore e nyima kendo maonge ketho.

And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, 'I [am] God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;

2 Abiro guro singruokna e kinda kodi kendo anamed kothi obed mangʼeny.”

and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'

3 Abram nopodho auma e nyim Nyasaye kendo Nyasaye nowachone niya,

And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,

4 “Singruok matimo kodi ema: Inibed wuon ogendini mangʼeny.

'I — lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

5 Ok nochak oluongi ni Abram; to enoluongi ni Ibrahim, nimar aseketi ibedo wuon ogendini mangʼeny.

and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

6 Anamiyi nyikwayo mathoth; ginidog ogendini madongo kendo ruodhi nowuog kuomgi.

and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.

7 Anagur singruokna manyaka chiengʼ e kinda kodi gi nyikwayi kod tienge mabiro, mi anabed Nyasachi kendo Nyasach nyikwayi nyaka chiengʼ.

'And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

8 Piny Kanaan duto makoro udakieni anamiyi kaachiel gi nyikwayi mondo obed girkeni manyaka chiengʼ kendo anabed Nyasachgi.”

and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'

9 Eka Nyasaye nowacho ne Ibrahim niya, “In kaachiel gi nyikwayi kod tienge mabiro nyaka rit singruokna.

And God saith unto Abraham, 'And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;

10 Singruokna manyaka iriti, in kaachiel gi nyikwayi ema: Ngʼato ka ngʼata madichwo e kindu nyaka ter nyangu.

this [is] My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you [is] to be circumcised;

11 Nyaka teru nyangu kendo ma nobed ranyisi mar singruokna e kinda kodu.

and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.

12 Kuom tienge mabiro ngʼato angʼata madichwo monywol e uteu kata ongʼiew gi pesa ma ok kothu nyaka ter nyangu, e odiechiengʼ mar aboro bangʼ nywolne.

'And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed;

13 Nyaka tergi nyangu bedni onywolgi e uteu kata ongʼiewogi gi pesa. Singruokna man kuom ringreu nyaka bed mosiko.

he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;

14 Ngʼato angʼata madichwo, mane ok oter nyangu e ringruok, nogol oko kuom jogi; nikech oseketho singruokna.”

and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.'

15 Nyasaye nomedo wachone Ibrahim niya, “Koro ok inichak iluong Sarai chiegi ni Sarai, to iniluonge ni Sara.

And God saith unto Abraham, 'Sarai thy wife — thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

16 Anagwedhe kendo anamiyi nyathi ma wuowi koa kuome. Anagwedhe mi nobed min ogendini; kendo ruodhi mag ogendini noa kuome.”

and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations — kings of peoples are from her.'

17 Ibrahim nopodho auma; monyiero kowacho e chunye niya, “Bende ngʼama ja-higni mia achiel nyalo nywolo wuowi? Bende Sara ma ja-higni piero ochiko nyalo nywolo nyathi?”

And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, 'To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah — daughter of ninety years — bear?'

18 Kendo Ibrahim nowacho ne Nyasaye niya, “Mano nyalo mana timore kaponi Ishmael odak e bwo ngʼwono mari!”

And Abraham saith unto God, 'O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'

19 Eka Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Ooyo, en mana Sara chiegi ema nonywolni wuowi, kendo iniluong nyinge ni Isaka. Anaket singruokna kode kaka singruok manyaka chiengʼ ne nyikwaye.

and God saith, 'Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.

20 To bende asewinjo kwayo mikwayo nikech Ishmael, omiyo anagwedhe, kendo anamiye nyithindo gi nyikwayo mangʼeny.

As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

21 Makmana singruokna abiro chopo gi Isaka ma Sara biro nywolone e kinde maka ma e higa mabiro.”

and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'

22 Kane Nyasaye osetieko wuoyo kod Ibrahim, noweye modhi.

and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.

23 E odiechiengno Ibrahim nokawo wuode Ishmael kod jogo duto machwo monywol e ode kata mane ongʼiewo gi pesa, kendo noterogi nyangu, mana kaka Nyasaye nonyise.

And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money — every male among the men of Abraham's house — and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.

24 Ibrahim ne ja-higni piero ochiko gochiko kane otere nyangu,

And Abraham [is] a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

25 to wuode Ishmael ne ja-higni apar gadek.

and Ishmael his son [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

26 Ibrahim kod wuode Ishmael noter nyangu odiechiengno.

in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

27 Kendo chwo duto mane ni e od Ibrahim, kaachiel gi monywol e ode kata ma ongʼiewo, bende noter nyangu kode.

and all the men of his house — born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger — have been circumcised with him.
