< 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.
Sa’ad da Abram ya yi shekaru 99, sai Ubangiji ya bayyana a gare shi ya ce, ni “Ni ne Allah Maɗaukaki, ka yi tafiya a gabana ka kuma zama marar abin zargi.
2 And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.
Zan tabbatar da alkawarina tsakanina da kai, zan kuma ƙara zuriyarka ta yi yawa.”
3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,
Abram ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa, Allah kuma ya ce masa,
4 It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
“Gare ni kam, wannan shi ne alkawarina da kai, za ka zama mahaifin al’ummai masu yawa.
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.
Ba za a ƙara kiranka Abram ba; sunanka zai zama Ibrahim, gama na mai da kai uban al’ummai masu yawa.
6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Zan sa ka azurta sosai, zan yi al’ummai daga cikinka, sarakuna kuma za su fito daga cikinka,
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.
zan kafa alkawarina kamar madawwamin alkawari tsakanina da kai da kuma zuriyarka bayanka har tsararraki masu zuwa, in zama Allahnka da kuma Allahn zuriyarka a bayanka.
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.
Dukan ƙasar Kan’ana inda kake baƙo a yanzu, zan ba da ita a matsayin madawwamiyar mallaka gare ka da kuma zuriyarka a bayanka, zan kuma zama Allahnsu.”
9 And God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Sa’an nan Allah ya ce wa Ibrahim. “Kai fa, sai ka kiyaye alkawarina, kai da zuriyarka bayanka, har tsararraki masu zuwa.
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.
Wannan shi ne alkawarina da kai da kuma zuriyarka a bayanka, alkawarin da za ka kiyaye ke nan. Kowane namiji a cikinku kuwa za a yi masa kaciya.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
Za ku yi kaciya, za tă kuma zama alamar alkawari tsakanina da kai.
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.
Daga yanzu duk namijin da aka haifa a cikinku za a yi masa kaciya a rana ta takwas har dukan zamananku, ko haifaffen gida ne, ko sayayye da kuɗi daga kowane baƙo wanda ba na zuriyarku ba.
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.
Ko haifaffe a gidanka ko an sayo da kuɗi, dole a yi musu kaciya. Alkawarina cikin jikinku zai kasance madawwamin alkawari.
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.
Kowane namijin da ba a yi masa kaciya a jiki ba, za a fid da shi daga cikin mutanensa; domin ya karya alkawarina.”
15 And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
Allah ya kuma ce wa Ibrahim, “Game da Saira matarka kuwa, ba za ka ƙara kiranta Saira ba, sunanta zai zama Saratu.
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.
Zan sa mata albarka, ban da haka ma, zan ba ka ɗa ta wurinta, zan sa mata albarka, za tă kuwa zama mahaifiyar al’ummai; sarakunan mutane za su fito daga gare ta.”
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?
Ibrahim ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa, ya yi dariya, ya ce wa kansa, “Za a haifi ɗa wa mutum mai shekaru ɗari? Saratu za tă haifi ɗa tana da shekaru tasa’in?”
18 And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
Ibrahim ya kuma ce wa Allah, “Me zai hana a dai bar Ishmayel kawai yă gāji alkawarin nan da ka yi mini.”
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.
Sai Allah ya ce, “Duk da haka dai, matarka Saratu za tă haifi maka ɗa; za ka kuma kira shi Ishaku. A kansa zan tabbatar da madawwamin alkawarina, da kuma ga zuriyarsa da za su zo bayansa.
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.
Game da Ishmayel kuwa, na ji ka. Tabbatacce zan albarkace shi, zan sa yă azurta, zai kuma ƙaru ƙwarai. Zai zama mahaifin masu mulki goma sha biyu, zan kuma maishe shi babban al’umma!
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.
Amma dai zan kafa alkawarina da Ishaku wanda Saratu za tă haifa maka war haka shekara mai zuwa.”
22 And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.
Da ya gama magana da Ibrahim, sai Allah ya tashi daga gare shi.
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.
A wannan rana, Ibrahim ya ɗauki ɗansa Ishmayel da dukan waɗanda aka haifa cikin gidansa, da waɗanda aka sayo da kuɗinsa, ya kuwa yi wa kowane namiji a cikin gidansa kaciya kamar yadda Allah ya faɗa masa.
24 And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ibrahim yana da shekara tasa’in da tara sa’ad da aka yi masa kaciya,
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ishmayel ɗansa kuma yana da shekara goma sha uku.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
Aka yi wa Ibrahim da ɗansa Ishmayel kaciya a rana ɗaya.
27 and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Aka yi wa kowane namiji a gidan Ibrahim kaciya, da waɗanda aka haifa a gidansa, da waɗanda aka sayo da kuɗi daga baƙo.
