Genesis 17
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.
Hathnukkhu, Abram teh kum 99 a pha navah, BAWIPA ni Abram koe a kamnue teh, kai teh Athakasaipounge Cathut doeh ka hmalah toun hane kawi kaawm hoeh lah awm haw.
2 I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”
Kaie lawkkamnae nang hoi ka sak vaiteh moikapap na pungdaw sak han telah atipouh.
3 Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,
Abram ni a tabo teh Cathut ni,
4 “As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.
Thai haw kaie lawkkamnae teh nang koe ao. Nang teh miphun moikapap e a na pa lah na o han.
5 No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.
Nange na min hai Abram telah na kaw mahoeh toe. Abraham telah na kaw han toe, bangkongtetpawiteh nang teh miphun moikapap e na pa lah na coung han.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.
Kai ni moikapap na pungdaw sak han. Nang lahoi miphunnaw ka pung sak vaiteh, nang dawk hoi siangpahrang a tâco han.
7 I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
Ka lawkkamnae ka caksak vaiteh nang hoi kai rahak, na canaw hoi patuen e na catoun rahak vah a yungyoe e lawkkam lah ao han. Kai teh nang hoi na ca catounnaw e Cathut lah ka o han.
8 And to you and your descendants I will give the land where you are residing—all the land of Canaan—as an eternal possession; and I will be their God.”
Atu imyin lah na onae ram, Kanaan ram pueng nang hoi na ca catounnaw koe a yungyoe e râw lah na poe han. Kai teh ahnimae Cathut lah ka o han.
9 God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.
Hathnukkhu, Cathut ni Abraham koevah nang hoi na ca catounnaw pueng ni ka lawkkam heh na tarawi awh han.
10 This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.
Hete teh kai hoi nange na ca catounnaw ni a tarawi hane lawkkam doeh. Tongpa pueng vuensoma pouh han.
11 You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
Hatdawkvah, vuensom na a e tak teh kai hoi nang rahak mitnoutnae lawkkam lah ao han.
12 Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner—even those who are not your offspring.
Nangmouh dawkvah, na ca catounnaw totouh, ca tongpa pueng. Im dawk ka khe e thoseh, mae miphun nahoeh eiteh, alouke miphunnaw koe tangka hoi ran e hai thoseh, hnin 8 nah vuensom na a pouh han.
13 Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.
Na im dawk ka khe e hoi tangka hoi ran e tami ni vuensoma roeroe vaiteh ka lawkkam teh tak dawk yungyoe ka cak e lawkkam lah ao han.
14 But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
Hatei vuensom ka a hoeh e tongpa a tak dawk e vuengsom ka a hoeh e tami teh ka miphun dawk hoi takhoe lah ao han telah atipouh. Ahni teh kaie lawkkam a raphoe toe.
15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.
Cathut ni Abraham koevah Na yu Sarai hah, Sarai telah na kaw mahoeh, Sarah telah na kaw han toe.
16 And I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her.”
Ahni hah yawhawinae ka poe vaiteh ahni lahoi nang hai ca tongpa na poe han. Yawhawinae ka poe vaiteh miphun moikapap e manu lah ao han. Athung hoi miphunnaw hane siangpahrang a tâco han.
17 Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”
Hat torei teh, Abraham ni a minhmai hoi a tabo teh a panui. Kum 100 touh e ni ca khe han namaw. Kum 90 touh e Sarah ni ca a khe han rah maw telah ati.
18 And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”
Hatdawkvah, Abraham ni Cathut koe, na hmalah Ishmael mah hring yawkaw seh telah atipouh.
19 But God replied, “Your wife Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
Hatei Cathut ni telah nahoeh, na yu Sarah ni capa na khe pouh vaiteh, Isak telah a min na phung han. Ka lawkkam ka cak e lawkkam lah ao han.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.
Ishmael e kong dawk teh kai ni ka thai toe. Ahni yawhawinae ka poe toe. A ca catoun ka pungdaw sak vaiteh moikapap sak han. Ahni teh khobawi 12 touh e a na pa lah ao han. Miphun kalen poung lah ka sak han.
21 But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”
Hateiteh palawng atu e tueng navah, Sarah ni na khe pouh hane Isak dawk ka lawkkam ka caksak han telah atipouh.
22 When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
Hottelah Abraham hoi lawk a kâpato hnukkhu Cathut teh a luen.
23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised them, just as God had told him.
Hatdawkvah, Abraham ni a capa Ishmael hoi a im dawk ka khe e pueng, tangka hoi a ran e pueng Abraham imthung dawk e tongpa pueng a ceikhai teh Cathut ni ahni koe a dei pouh tangcoung e patetlah hnin touh dawkvah vuensom koung a a pouh.
24 So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,
Amae vuensom a a nah Abraham teh kum 99 touh a pha toe.
25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen;
Capa Ishmael, vuensom a a nah kum 13 touh a pha.
26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
Hnin touh dawk, Abraham hoi a capa Ishmael teh vuensom rei rei a a roi.
27 And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
Amae im dawk kaawm e tongpa pueng a im dawk ka khe e, miphun alouke koe tangka hoi a ran e tongpa pueng teh, ama hoi cungtalah vuensom a a awh.
