< 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.
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 make my covenant between me and thee: and I will multiply thee exceedingly.
त्यसपछि मेरो र तेरो बिचको आफ्नो करार म पक्का गर्नेछु, र तँलाई अत्यन्तै वृद्धि गराउनेछु ।”
3 Abram fell flat on his face.
अब्राम घोप्टो परे अनि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो,
4 And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
“निश्चय नै मेरो करार तँसँगै छ । तँ धेरै जातिहरूका पिता बन्नेछस् ।”
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.
तेरो नाम अब्राम हुनेछैन, तर अब्राहाम हुनेछ । किनकि म तँलाई धेरै जातिका पिता हुनलाई नियुक्त गर्छु ।
6 And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, 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 between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual 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 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.
तँ बसेको देश अर्थात् सारा कनान तँ र तँपछि आउने तेरा सन्तानलाई सधैँको निम्ति अधिकारको रूपमा दिनेछु, र म तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर हुनेछु ।”
9 Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, 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 you shall observe, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall 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 you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you.
तिमीहरूको खलडीको खतना हुनुपर्छ । मेरो र तिमीहरूको बिचको करारको चिन्ह यही हुनेछ ।
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:
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 And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.
तेरो घरमा जन्मेका र तेरो पैसाले किनेका सबैको खतना हुनैपर्छ । यसरी मेरो करार तिमीहरूको शरीरमा नित्य रहिरहने करार हुनेछ ।
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.
खलडीको खतना नगरिएको पुरुष उसका मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्कार गरिनेछ । त्यसले मेरो करार भङ्ग गरेको छ ।”
15 God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara.
पमेश्वरले अब्राहामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरी पत्नी साराईलाई चाहिँ अबदेखि साराई भनेर नबोलाउनू । तर त्यसको नाउँ सारा हुनेछ ।
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.
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 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?
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 he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.
अब्राहामले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “इश्माएल नै तपाईंको आशिष््मा बाँचिरहे त हुन्छ!”
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.
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 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.
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 I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year.
तर मेरो करार त म इसहाकसँग स्थापित गर्नेछु, जसलाई साराले अर्को वर्ष यही समयमा तँबाट जन्माउनेछे ।”
22 And when he had left off speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.
तिनीसँग कुरा गरिसक्नुभएपछि परमेश्वर अब्राहामदेखि छुट्टिनुभयो ।
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.
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 Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.
तिनको खलडीको खतना गर्दा अब्राहाम उनान्सय वर्षका थिए ।
25 And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision.
तिनको छोरो इश्माएलचाहिँ आफ्नो खलडीको खतना गर्दा तेह्र वर्षका थिए ।
26 The selfsame day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his son.
अब्राहाम र इश्माएलको खतना एकै दिनमा भयो ।
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.
तिनको घरमा जन्मेका र विदेशीबाट किनिएका सबै पुरुषहरूको खतना तिनको खतनासँगसँगै भयो ।
