Genesis 17
1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the Almighty God: walk before my face, and be perfect.
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 set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.
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 on his face; and God talked with him, saying,
Te dongah Abram loh a hmai laa bakop hatah Pathen loh,
4 It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
“Kai khaw he, nang taengah ka paipiaom vanbangla namtom hlangping kah a napa lana om ni.
5 And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
Nang he namtom hlangping kah a napa la kan khueh coeng dongah na ming khaw Abram la n'khue voel mahpawh. Tedae nang mingte Abraham la om pawn ni.
6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Nang te muep muep kan pungtai sak vetih namtomrhoek la kan khueh ni. Te vaengah nang taeng lamkah manghai rhoek ha thoeng ni.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Te vaengah ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang lakloah khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan, amih kah cadilcahma lakloah kumhal paipi la ka thoh ni. Nang ham neh nang phoeikah na tiingan ham Pathen la ka om ni.
8 And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them.
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 Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in 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 This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee — that every male among you be circumcised.
Ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan lakloah ngaithuen vetih nangmih khuikah tongpa boeih te yahhmui rhet pah.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the 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 at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you — he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.
Te phoeiah nangmih khuikah neh na cadilcahma, im kah cahlah, neh namah tiingan lamkah pawttih tangka neh na lai kholong ca boeih khuikah tongpa boeih loh hnin rhet a lo ca vaengah yahhmui rhet saeh.
13 He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in 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 laa om eh.
14 And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.
Tedae amah kah yahhmui saa aka rhet mueh tongpa pumdul te tah ka paipia kak sak dongah a pilnamkhui lamkah tekah hinglu te khoe saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah 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 I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.
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 Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, 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 Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
Te dongah Abraham loh Pathen taengah, “Na hmai ah Ishmael mah hing mai koinih,” a ti nah.
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Tedae Pathen loh, “Thuem ngawn dae na yuu Sarah loh nang ham capa han cun vetih a ming te Isaakna sui ni. Ka paipi khaw anih neh anih phoeikah a tiingan ham dungyan paipi la ka thoh ni.
20 And for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes 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 my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.
Tedae ka paipi he Isaak taengah ni ka thoh eh. Anihte hmai kum kah tahae khoning vaengah Sarah loh nang hamlaa cun ni,” a ti nah.
22 And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.
Anih taengah thui ham te a khah van neh Pathen khaw Abraham taeng lamkah nong.
23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money — every male among the people of Abraham's house — and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.
Te dongah Abraham loh a capa Ishmael khaw, a im kah cahlah boeih khaw, Abraham imkhui tongparhoek khuikah a tangka neh a lai tongpa boeih te a khuen tih Pathenloh a thui bangla amah khohnin van ah amih kah yahhmui saa tea rhet pah.
24 And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Te dongah Abraham loh a yahhmui saaa rhet vaengah kum sawmko neh kum ko lo ca coeng.
25 And Ishmael 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 tea rhet pah.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael 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, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
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.
