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.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Aburamu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo kenda na kenda-rĩ, Jehova nĩamuumĩrĩire, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũrungu Mwene-Hinya-Wothe; tũũra ũnjathĩkagĩra, na ũtarĩ na ũcuuke.
2 And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.
Na niĩ nĩngũtũũria kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa nawe, na nĩngaingĩhia mũigana waku mũno.”
3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,
Aburamu agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ, nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
4 It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
“Hakwa-rĩ, gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa nawe: Wee nĩũgatuĩka ithe wa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ.
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.
Ndũgũcooka gwĩtwo Aburamu; ũrĩĩtagwo Iburahĩmu, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũtuĩte ithe wa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ.
6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Nĩngũtũma ũciare mũno; na ndũme ũtuĩke ithe wa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, nao athamaki nĩmakoima thĩinĩ waku.
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.
Nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa kĩrĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene gatagatĩ gakwa nawe na njiaro ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku, na nginya njiarwa ciaku cia thuutha, nĩguo nduĩke Ngai waku na Ngai wa njiaro iria igooka thuutha waku.
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.
Nĩngakũhe bũrũri ũyũ wothe wa Kaanani, kũrĩa ũrĩ mũgeni rĩu, ũtũũre ũrĩ igai rĩaku na rĩa njiaro ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku; na nĩngatuĩka Ngai wao.”
9 And God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Ningĩ Ngai agĩcooka akĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, no nginya ũmenyagĩrĩre kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa, wee na njiaro iria igooka thuutha waku, harĩ njiarwa na njiarwa iria igooka.
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.
Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa nawe na njiaro iria igooka thuutha waku, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ũrĩmenyagĩrĩra: Arũme othe thĩinĩ wanyu nĩmarĩruaga.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
Mũrĩruaga nĩguo ũndũ ũcio ũtuĩke kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa nawe.
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.
Harĩ njiarwa iria igooka thuutha, mũndũ mũrũme wothe thĩinĩ wanyu no nginya arue arĩ na ũkũrũ wa thikũ inyanya, kũrutia arĩa maciarĩtwo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yaku kana arĩa magũrĩtwo na mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ andũ a kũngĩ-arĩa matarĩ a rũciaro rwaku.
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.
Mũndũ ũcio, wagũciarĩrwo nyũmba-inĩ yaku kana wakũgũrwo na mbeeca ciaku-rĩ, no nginya arue. Kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa kĩa mĩĩrĩ yanyu gĩgũtuĩka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene.
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.
Mũndũ mũrũme wothe ũtarĩ mũruu, ũrĩa ũtaruithĩtio mwĩrĩ wake-rĩ, nĩakeherio harĩ andũ ao; ũcio ndahingĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa.”
15 And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Ha ũhoro wa Sarai mũtumia waku-rĩ, ndũgũcooka kũmwĩta Sarai; arĩĩtagwo Sara.
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.
Nĩngũmũrathima, na ti-itherũ nĩngũkũhe mwana wa kahĩĩ ũciarĩirwo nĩwe. Nĩngũmũrathima nĩguo atuĩke nyina wa ndũrĩrĩ; athamaki a ndũrĩrĩ makoima harĩwe.”
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?
Iburahĩmu agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ, agĩcooka agĩtheka, akĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩ na mĩaka igana nĩegũciara mwana wa kahĩĩ? Sara no aciare mwana arĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo kenda?”
18 And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
Nake Iburahĩmu akĩĩra Ngai atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo Ishumaeli atũũra arathimagwo nĩwe!”
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.
Nake Ngai akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩguo, no mũtumia waku Sara nĩagagũciarĩra kahĩĩ, na nĩũgaagatua Isaaka. Nĩngathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro nake gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene harĩ njiaro ciake iria igooka thuutha wake.
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.
Na ha ũhoro wa Ishumaeli, nĩndakũigua: Ti-itherũ nĩngũmũrathima; nĩngũtũma aciarane, aingĩhe mũno. Nĩagatuĩka ithe wa aathani ikũmi na eerĩ, na nĩngamũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.
No kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa ngaathondeka na Isaaka, ũrĩa Sara egũgũciarĩra mwaka ũyũ ũgũũka, ihinda-inĩ ta rĩĩrĩ tũrĩ.”
22 And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.
Ngai aarĩkia kwaria na Iburahĩmu, akĩambata, akĩmũtiga.
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.
Mũthenya o ro ũcio, Iburahĩmu akĩoya mũriũ wake Ishumaeli, na arĩa othe maciarĩirwo gwake, o na arĩa magũrĩtwo na mbeeca ciake, mũndũ mũrũme wothe wa nyũmba yake, akĩmaruithia, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwĩrĩte.
24 And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Iburahĩmu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo kenda na kenda rĩrĩa aaruire,
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
nake mũriũ wake Ishumaeli aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtatũ.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
Iburahĩmu na mũriũ wake Ishumaeli maaruire hamwe mũthenya o ro ũcio.
27 and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Na mũndũ mũrũme wothe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Iburahĩmu, arĩa maciarĩirwo gwake, kana mũndũ wagũrĩtwo kuuma kũrĩ mũndũ wa kũngĩ, maaruanĩire hamwe nake.
