Genesis 17
1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am thy God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.
Abram kum sawmko neh kum ko a lo ca vaengah Abram taengla BOEIPA phoe tih, “Kai tah Tlungthang Pathen ni. Kai mikhmuh ah pongpa lamtah cuemthuek la om lah.
2 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly.
Ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah ka khueh vetih nang te muep muep kam ping sak ni,” a ti nah.
3 And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,
Te dongah Abram loh a hmai la a bakop hatah Pathen loh,
4 And I, behold! my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
“Kai khaw he, nang taengah ka paipi a om vanbangla namtom hlangping kah a napa la na om ni.
5 And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraam, for I have made thee a father of many nations.
Nang he namtom hlangping kah a napa la kan khueh coeng dongah na ming khaw Abram la n'khue voel mahpawh. Tedae nang ming te Abraham la om pawn ni.
6 And I will increase thee very exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Nang te muep muep kan pungtai sak vetih namtom rhoek la kan khueh ni. Te vaengah nang taeng lamkah manghai rhoek ha thoeng ni.
7 And I will establish my covenant between thee and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be thy God, and [the God] of thy seed after thee.
Te vaengah ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan, amih kah cadilcahma laklo ah kumhal paipi la ka thoh ni. Nang ham neh nang phoeikah na tiingan ham Pathen la ka om ni.
8 And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou sojournest, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.
Te vaengah na lampahnah khohmuen Kanaan kho pum te kumhal khohut la nang neh nang phoeikah na tiingan taengah kam paek vetih amih taengah Pathen la ka om ni “a ti nah.
9 And God said to Abraam, Thou also shalt fully keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee for their generations.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham taengah, “Te dongah ka paipi he nang namah ham khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan ham khaw, amih kah cadilcahma ham khaw ngaithuen.
10 And this [is] the covenant which thou shalt fully keep between me and you, and between thy seed after thee for their generations; every male of you shall be circumcised.
Ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan laklo ah ngaithuen vetih nangmih khuikah tongpa boeih te yahhmui rhet pah.
11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.
Te dongah yahhmui na rhet vaengkah na yahhmui saa te kai laklo neh nang laklo kah paipi miknoek la om ni.
12 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 thy seed.
Te phoeiah nangmih khuikah neh na cadilcahma, im kah cahlah, neh namah tiingan lamkah pawt tih tangka neh na lai kholong ca boeih khuikah tongpa boeih loh hnin rhet a lo ca vaengah yahhmui rhet saeh.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with money shall be surely circumcised, and my covenant shall be on your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Na im kah cahlah long khaw, na tangka neh na lai long khaw, yahhmui a rhet rhoela a rhet daengah ni ka paipi loh na pumsa dongah kumhal paipi la a om eh.
14 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.
Tedae amah kah yahhmui saa aka rhet mueh tongpa pumdul te tah ka paipi a kak sak dongah a pilnam khui lamkah tekah hinglu te khoe saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And God said to Abraam, Sara thy wife—her name shall not be called Sara, Sarrha shall be her name.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham taengah, “Na yuu Sarai amah ming neh na khue mahpawh. Anih ming Sarah te Sarai yuengla om coeng.
16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.
Anih khaw yoethen ka paek vetih anih rhang neh nang ham capa khaw kan paek ni. Anih yoethen ka paek vetih namtom la coeng ni. Pilnam rhoek kah manghai rhoek khaw anih khui lamkah ha thoeng uh ni,” a ti nah.
17 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?
Te vaengah Abraham tah a maelhmai neh bakop tih a nueih doela a lungbuei khuiah, “Kum yakhat pa loh a sak vetih kum sawmko nu Sarah loh ca a cun koinih?” a ti.
18 And Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before thee.
Te dongah Abraham loh Pathen taengah, “Na hmai ah Ishmael mah hing mai koinih,” a ti nah.
19 And God said to Abraam, Yea, behold, Sarrha thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt 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.
Tedae Pathen loh, “Thuem ngawn dae na yuu Sarah loh nang ham capa han cun vetih a ming te Isaak na sui ni. Ka paipi khaw anih neh anih phoeikah a tiingan ham dungyan paipi la ka thoh ni.
20 And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard thee, 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.
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.
21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to thee at this time, in the next year.
Tedae ka paipi he Isaak taengah ni ka thoh eh. Anih te hmai kum kah tahae khoning vaengah Sarah loh nang hamla a cun ni,” a ti nah.
22 And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.
Anih taengah thui ham te a khah van neh Pathen khaw Abraham taeng lamkah nong.
23 And Abraam took Ismael his son, and all his home-born [servants], and all those bought with money, and every male of the men in the house of Abraam, and he circumcised their foreskins in the time of that day, according as God spoke to him.
Te dongah Abraham loh a capa Ishmael khaw, a im kah cahlah boeih khaw, Abraham imkhui tongpa rhoek khuikah a tangka neh a lai tongpa boeih te a khuen tih Pathen loh a thui bangla amah khohnin van ah amih kah yahhmui saa te a rhet pah.
24 And Abraam was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Te dongah Abraham loh a yahhmui saa a rhet vaengah kum sawmko neh kum ko lo ca coeng.
25 And Ismael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
A capa Ishmael khaw kum hlai thum a lo ca vaengah a yahhmui saa te a rhet pah.
26 And at the period of that day, Abraam was circumcised, and Ismael his son,
Tekah khohnin van ah Abraham neh a capa Ishmael te yahhmui rhet pah la om.
27 and all the men of his house, both those born in the house, and those bought with money of foreign nations.
Te phoeiah a im kah hlang boeih, im kah cahlah neh kholong ca tangka neh a lai te khaw amah neh yahhmui a rhet uh.
