Genesis 17
1 In truth, after he began to be ninety-nine years of age, the Lord appeared to him. And he said to him: “I am the Almighty God. Walk in my sight and become complete.
Mgbe Ebram gbara iri afọ itoolu na itoolu, Onyenwe anyị gosiri ya onwe ya sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Jegharịa ije nʼihu m, bụrụ onye na-enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla.
2 And I will set my covenant between me and you. And I will multiply you very exceedingly.”
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ m dịrị nʼetiti mụ na gị, mekwa ka ị mụbaa nke ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ.”
3 Abram fell prone on his face.
Ebram dara nʼala, kpudo ihu ya nʼala. Chineke gwara ya sị,
4 And God said to him: “I AM, and my covenant is with you, and you will be the father of many nations.
“Lee, nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na gị. Ị ga-abụ nna ọtụtụ mba.
5 No longer will your name be called Abram. But you will be called Abraham, for I have established you as the father of many nations.
Aha gị agaghị abụkwa Ebram, kama ọ ga-abụ Ebraham, nʼihi na emeela m gị nna nke ọtụtụ mba.
6 And I will cause you to increase very greatly, and I will set you among the nations, and kings will come forth from you.
Aga m eme gị ka ị mụbaa nke ukwuu. Aga m eme ka ị ghọọ ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị eze ga-esitekwa na gị pụta.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and with your offspring after you in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na gị gbara guzosie ike, ka ọ dịkwara ụmụ ụmụ ndị ga-esote gị nʼọgbọ niile na-abịa. Ọ bụ ọgbụgba ndụ na-egosi na m bụ Chineke gị, na Chineke ụmụ ụmụ gị niile ga-eso gị.
8 And I will give to you and to your offspring, the land of your sojourn, all the land of Canaan, as an eternal possession, and I will be their God.”
Ala Kenan niile, ebe ị nọ ugbu a dịka ọbịa ka m ga-enye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-esote gị dịka ihe nketa ebighị ebi. Aga m abụ Chineke ha.”
9 Again God said to Abraham: “And you therefore shall keep my covenant, and your offspring after you in their generations.
Chineke gwara Ebraham okwu sị ya, “Ma nʼebe ị nọ, ị ghaghị irube isi imezu ihe ọgbụgba ndụ m kwuru, gị onwe gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị, ruo ọgbọ niile.
10 This is my covenant, which you shall observe, between me and you, and your offspring after you: All the males among you shall be circumcised.
Nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị, ọgbụgba ndụ nke unu na-aghaghị idebe. A ga-ebi nwoke ọbụla nʼetiti unu ugwu.
11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, so that it may be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
A ga-ebi unu ugwu, bipụ elu ahụ nke anụ ahụ unu. Nke a ga-abụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na unu.
12 An infant of eight days will be circumcised among you, every male in your generations. So also servants born to you, as well as those bought, shall be circumcised, even those who are not of your stock.
Nʼoge ọ gbara mkpụrụ ụbọchị asatọ, unu ga-ebi nwoke ọbụla nʼagbụrụ unu ugwu: ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ, maọbụ ndị eji ego zụta site nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ, ndị na-esighị na mkpụrụ nke afọ gị.
13 And my covenant shall be with your flesh as an eternal covenant.
A ga-ebi ha niile ugwu. Ma a mụrụ ha nʼezinaụlọ gị ma i ji ego zụta ha site nʼaka onye mba ọzọ. Ọgbụgba ndụ m nke ga-apụta ihe nʼanụ ahụ gị bụ ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi.
14 The male, the flesh of whose foreskin will not be circumcised, that soul shall be eliminated from his people. For he has made my covenant void.”
Nwoke ọbụla a na-ebighị ugwu nke anụ ahụ ka a ga-ebipụ site nʼetiti ụmụnna ya. Nʼihi na o mehiela megide ọgbụgba ndụ m.”
15 God said also to Abraham: “Your wife Sarai, you shall not call Sarai, but Sarah.
Chineke gwakwara Ebraham sị, “Ma nʼebe Serai nwunye gị nọ, ị gaghị akpọkwa ya Serai ọzọ, kama aha ya ga-abụ Sera.
16 And I will bless her, and from her I will give you a son, whom I will bless, and he will be among the nations, and the kings of the peoples will rise from him.”
Aga m agọzi ya, sitekwa na ya nye gị nwa nwoke. Aga m agọzi ya ruo na ọ ga-abụ nne nke ọtụtụ mba. Ndị eze ga-achị ọtụtụ mmadụ ga-esite na ya pụta.”
17 Abraham fell on his face, and he laughed, saying in his heart: “Do you think a son can be born to a one hundred year old man? And will Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”
Ebraham dara kpuo ihu nʼala, chịakwa ọchị nʼobi ya sị, “Ọ bụ onye gbara narị afọ ka a ga-amụrụ nwa? Sera, onye gbara iri afọ itoolu ọ ga-amụ nwa?”
18 And he said to God, “If only Ishmael would live in your sight.”
Ebraham gwara Chineke sị, “A sịkwa na ị ga-ekwe mee ka Ishmel bụrụ onye dị ndụ nʼihu gị.”
19 And God said to Abraham: “Your wife Sarah shall give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him as a perpetual covenant, and with his offspring after him.
Ma Chineke zara sị ya, “Ee, kama Sera nwunye gị ga-amụtara gị nwa nwoke. Ị ga-agụ ya Aịzik. Ọgbụgba ndụ m ga-adịkwara ya na agbụrụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
20 Likewise, concerning Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I will bless and enlarge him, and I will multiply him greatly. He will produce twelve leaders, and I will make him into a great nation.
Ma banyere Ishmel, anụla m ihe i kwuru. Aga m agọzi ya mee ya ka ọ baa ụba ma dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ọ ga-aghọ nna ndị eze iri na abụọ. Aga m eme ya ka ọ ghọọ mba dị ukwuu.
21 Yet in truth, I will establish my covenant with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth for you at this time next year.”
Ma ọgbụgba ndụ m ka m ga-eme ka o guzosie ike nʼebe Aịzik nọ, onye Sera ga-amụtara gị nʼoge dịka ugbu a nʼafọ ọzọ.”
22 And when he had finished speaking with him, God ascended from Abraham.
Mgbe ọ gwasịrị Ebraham okwu, Chineke si nʼebe ọ nọ pụọ.
23 Then Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all who were born in his house, and all whom he had bought, every male among the men of his house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin promptly, the very same day, just as God had instructed him.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Ebraham duuru Ishmel nwa ya nwoke, na ndị ikom niile a mụrụ nʼezinaụlọ ya, tinyere ndị e ji ego zụta, ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya, bie ha ugwu dịka Chineke gwara ya ka ọ mee.
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.
Ebraham gbara iri afọ itoolu na itoolu mgbe e biri ya ugwu,
25 And his son Ishmael had completed thirteen years at the time of his circumcision.
Ishmel nwa ya gbara afọ iri na atọ.
26 On the very same day, Abraham was circumcised with his son Ishmael.
E biri Ebraham na nwa ya bụ Ishmel ugwu nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ.
27 And all the men of his house, those born in his house, as well as those who were bought, even the foreigners, were circumcised with him.
Ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ Ebraham, ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ ya na ndị e si nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ zụta ka e biri ugwu nʼoge Ebraham biri ugwu.
