Genesis 17
1 And after he began to be ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to him: and said unto him: I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be perfect.
Ary rehefa sivy amby sivi-folo taona Abrama, dia nisehoan’ i Jehovah izy ka nitenenany hoe: Izaho no Andriamanitra Tsitoha; mandehana eo anatrehako, ka aoka ho tsy misy tsiny ianao.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee: and I will multiply thee exceedingly.
Fa Izaho hanao ny fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminao ary hahamaro anao indrindra.
3 Abram fell flat on his face.
Dia niankohoka Abrama; ary Andriamanitra niteny taminy ka nanao hoe:
4 And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
Raha ny amiko, dia, indro, aminao ny fanekeko, ka ho tonga rain’ ny firenena maro ianao.
5 Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations.
Ary ny anaranao tsy hatao hoe Abrama intsony, fa hatao hoe Abrahama, satria efa nataoko ho rain’ ny firenena maro ianao.
6 And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Dia hahamaro ny taranakao indrindra Aho, ka hataoko ho firenena maro ianao; ary hisy mpanjaka hiseho avy aminao.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Ary haoriko ny fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminao mbamin’ ny taranakao mandimby anao hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby, ho fanekena mandrakizay, mba ho Andriamanitrao sy ny taranakao mandimby anao Aho.
8 And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God.
Ary homeko anao sy ny taranakao any aorianao ny tany fivahinianao, dia ny tany Kanana rehetra, ho fananana mandrakizay; ary ho Andriamaniny Aho.
9 Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Abrahama: Fa ny aminao kosa, dia hitandrina ny fanekeko ianao, dia ianao sy ny taranakao mandimby anao hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
10 This is my covenant which you shall observe, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall be circumcised:
Ary izao no fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminareo sy ny taranakao mandimby anao, dia izay hotandremanareo: hoforana ny lehilahy rehetra eo aminareo.
11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you.
Dia hoforana ianareo; ary ho famantarana ny fanekena ho amiko sy ho aminareo izany.
12 An infant of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations: he that is born in the house, as well as the bought servant shall be circumcised, and whosoever is not of your stock:
Ny zazalahy teraka havaloana eo aminareo no hoforana, dia ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny taranakareo hatramin’ ny fara mandimby: na ny ompikely, na izay novidim-bola tamin’ ny hafa firenena ka tsy avy amin’ ny taranakao.
13 And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.
Tsy maintsy hoforana ny ompikelinao sy izay novidinao vola; ary ny fanekeko dia ho ao amin’ ny nofonareo ho fanekena mandrakizay.
14 The male, whose flesh of his foreskin shall not be circumcised, that soul shall be destroyed out of his people: because he hath broken my covenant.
Ary ny lehilahy tsy voafora, izay tsy mbola noforana, dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny; efa nivadika ny fanekeko izy.
15 God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara.
Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Abrahama: Ny amin’ i Saray vadinao, dia tsy mba hataonao Saray intsony ny anarany, fa Saraha no ho anarany.
16 And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shall become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him.
Ary hitahy azy Aho ka hampanana azy zazalahy ho anao; eny, hitahy azy Aho, ka ho tonga firenena maro izy; ary hisy mpanjakan’ ny firenena maro avy aminy.
17 Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?
Dia niankohoka Abrahama ary nitsiky, dia nanao anakampo hoe: Hiteraka va aho, izay efa zato taona? ary hiteraka va Saraha, izay efa sivi-folo taona?
18 And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.
Ary hoy Abrahama tamin’ Andriamanitra: Enga anie ka Isimaela no ho velona eo anatrehanao!
19 And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him.
Ary hoy Andriamanitra: Tsia, fa Saraha vadinao hiteraka zazalahy aminao; ary ny anarany dia hataonao hoe Isaka; ary ny fanekeko haoriko aminy ho fanekena mandrakizay ho an’ ny taranany mandimby azy.
20 And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.
Ary ny amin’ Isimaela, dia efa nihaino anao Aho; indro, efa nitahy azy Aho ka hahamaro ny taranany sy hampitombo azy indrindra; hiteraka andriana roa ambin’ ny folo izy, satria efa notendreko ho firenena lehibe.
21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year.
Nefa ny fanekeko haoriko amin’ Isaka, izay haterak’ i Saraha aminao raha avy ny taona toy izao.
22 And when he had left off speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.
Ary rehefa vita ny teny nataony taminy, dia niakatra Andriamanitra niala teo amin’ i Abrahama.
23 And Abraham took Ismael his son, and all that 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 forthwith the very same day, as God had commanded him.
Koa dia nalain’ i Abrahama Isimaela zanany sy ny ompikeliny rehetra mbamin’ izay rehetra novidiny vola dia ny lehilahy rehetra tao an-tranony; dia noforany androtrizay indrindra ireo araka izay nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminy.
24 Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.
Ary efa sivy amby sivi-folo taona Abrahama, raha noforana izy.
25 And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision.
Ary efa telo ambin’ ny folo taona Isimaela zanany, raha noforana izy.
26 The selfsame day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his son.
Androtrizay indrindra no namorana an’ i Abrahama sy Isimaela zanany;
27 And all the men of his house, as well they that were born in his house, as the bought servants and strangers were circumcised with him.
ary ny lehilahy rehetra tao an-tranony, dia ny ompikely mbamin’ izay novidim-bola tamin’ ny hafa firenena, dia samy niara-noforana taminy avokoa.
