< 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.
अब्राम उनान्सय वर्षको हुँदा परमप्रभु तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म सर्वशक्‍तिमान् परमेश्‍वर हुँ । मेरो सामु आज्ञाकारी भएर हिँड्, र निर्दोष हो ।
2 And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.
त्यसपछि मेरो र तेरो बिचको आफ्नो करार म पक्‍का गर्नेछु, र तँलाई अत्यन्तै वृद्धि गराउनेछु ।”
3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,
अब्राम घोप्‍टो परे अनि परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो,
4 It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
“निश्‍चय नै मेरो करार तँसँगै छ । तँ धेरै जातिहरूका पिता बन्‍नेछस् ।”
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.
तेरो नाम अब्राम हुनेछैन, तर अब्राहाम हुनेछ । किनकि म तँलाई धेरै जातिका पिता हुनलाई नियुक्‍त गर्छु ।
6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
म तँलाई अत्यन्तै फल्दो-फुल्दो तुल्याउनेछु, र तँबाट धेरै जातिहरू बनाउनेछु । तँबाट राजाहरू उत्‍पन्‍न हुनेछन् ।
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.
तँ र तँपछिका तेरा सन्तानका परमेश्‍वर हुनलाई तेरो र मेरो र तँपछिका तेरा सन्‍तानको बिचमा नित्य रहिरहने करार म स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
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.
तँ बसेको देश अर्थात् सारा कनान तँ र तँपछि आउने तेरा सन्तानलाई सधैँको निम्ति अधिकारको रूपमा दिनेछु, र म तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनेछु ।”
9 And God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.
त्यसपछि परमेश्‍वरले अब्राहामलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँलेचाहिँ मेरो करार पालन गर्नुपर्छ, तँ र तँपछिका तेरा सन्तानहरूले तिनीहरूका पुस्तौँसम्म ।
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.
यो मेरो र तेरो र तँपछि आउने तेरा सन्‍तानहरूका बिचमा भएको तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नुपर्ने मेरो करार होः तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका हरेक पुरुषको खतना हुनुपर्छ ।
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
तिमीहरूको खलडीको खतना हुनुपर्छ । मेरो र तिमीहरूको बिचको करारको चिन्ह यही हुनेछ ।
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.
तिमीहरूका पुस्तौँसम्म तिमीहरूमा आठ दिन पुगेका हरेक पुरुषको खतना गरिनुपर्छ । यसमा तेरो घरमा जन्मेका र तेरो सन्‍तान नभए पनि विदेशीबाट दाम हालेर किनेका व्यक्‍ति पनि पर्दछन् ।
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.
तेरो घरमा जन्मेका र तेरो पैसाले किनेका सबैको खतना हुनैपर्छ । यसरी मेरो करार तिमीहरूको शरीरमा नित्य रहिरहने करार हुनेछ ।
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.
खलडीको खतना नगरिएको पुरुष उसका मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्कार गरिनेछ । त्यसले मेरो करार भङ्‍ग गरेको छ ।”
15 And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
पमेश्‍वरले अब्राहामलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरी पत्‍नी साराईलाई चाहिँ अबदेखि साराई भनेर नबोलाउनू । तर त्यसको नाउँ सारा हुनेछ ।
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.
म त्यसलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, र त्यसद्वारा म तँलाई एउटा छोरो दिनेछु । म त्यसलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, र त्यो जाति-जातिहरूकी आमा हुनेछे । जाति-जातिहरूका राजाहरू त्यसबाट उत्पन्‍न हुनेछन् ।”
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?
त्यसपछि अब्राहाम घोप्‍टो परेर हाँसे, अनि मनमनै यसो भने, “के सय वर्षको मानिसबाट सन्तान जन्मन सक्छ र? नब्बे वर्ष पुगेकी साराले कसरी सन्तान जन्माउन सक्छिन् र?”
18 And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
अब्राहामले परमेश्‍वरलाई भने, “इश्माएल नै तपाईंको आशिष्‍्‌मा बाँचिरहे त हुन्छ!”
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.
परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍नुभयो, “होइन, तर तेरी पत्‍नी साराले तेरो निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माउनेछे, र तैँले त्यसको नाउँ इसहाक राख्‍नू । नित्य रहिरहने करारको रूपमा म त्यससित र त्यसपछि आउने त्यसका सन्तानसित मेरो करार स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
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.
इश्माएको विषयमा मैले तेरो बिन्ति सुनेँ । हेर्, म त्यसलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, र त्यसलाई फल्दो‍-फुल्दो बनाएर प्रशस्त गरी त्यसको वृद्धि गर्नेछु । त्यो बाह्र जातिका अगुवाहरूका पिता हुनेछ, र त्यसलाई म ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु ।
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.
तर मेरो करार त म इसहाकसँग स्थापित गर्नेछु, जसलाई साराले अर्को वर्ष यही समयमा तँबाट जन्माउनेछे ।”
22 And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.
तिनीसँग कुरा गरिसक्‍नुभएपछि परमेश्‍वर अब्राहामदेखि छुट्टिनुभयो ।
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.
त्यसपछि अब्राहामले आफ्नो छोरो इश्माएल, र आफ्‍नो घरमा जन्मेका, र दाम हालेर किनेका सबै, परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍‍नुभएबमोजिम त्यसै दिन आफ्नो घरका सबै पुरुषहरूका खलडीको खतना गरे ।
24 And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
तिनको खलडीको खतना गर्दा अब्राहाम उनान्सय वर्षका थिए ।
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
तिनको छोरो इश्माएलचाहिँ आफ्नो खलडीको खतना गर्दा तेह्र वर्षका थिए ।
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
अब्राहाम र इश्माएलको खतना एकै दिनमा भयो ।
27 and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
तिनको घरमा जन्मेका र विदेशीबाट किनिएका सबै पुरुषहरूको खतना तिनको खतनासँगसँगै भयो ।
