Genesis 17
1 When Abram was 99, the Lord appeared to him and told him, “I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and don't do wrong.
Abram too sio nulu sio ma, LAMATUALAIN natudꞌu Aon neu e nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain fo Mana Koasa. Ho musi tungga mukundoo Au hihii Ngga, ma musodꞌa no ndo-tetuꞌ.
2 I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”
Au ae tao manggatee hehelu-fufuliꞌ Ngga, fo tao tititi-nonosi mara ramaheta.”
3 Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God told him,
Abram rena nala ma ana sendeꞌ lululangga na ma naloe langga na losa rae a. Lamatualain o olaꞌ nakandoo nae,
4 “Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,
“Au helu-fuli o nggo, taꞌo ia: Dei fo ho dadꞌi leo naeꞌ bei-baꞌi nara. Naa de, nara ma nda afiꞌ Abram sa (sosoa na ‘amaꞌ nenenahineꞌ’), te nara ma dadꞌi Abraham (sosoa na ‘nusaꞌ naeꞌ bei-baꞌi nara’).
5 so your name won't be Abram any longer. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I'm going to make you the father of many nations.
6 I will make sure you have a large number of descendants. They will become many nations, and some of their kings will also come from your line.
Dei fo Au tao tititi-nonosiꞌ mara ramahefu-ramabela. Au ufefela leo naeꞌ mia se, ma soꞌu maneꞌ naeꞌ mia tititi-nonosi naa ra.
7 I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.
Au toꞌu uhereꞌ hehelu Ngga o nggo ma tititi-nonosi mara. Hehelu-fufuliꞌ ia nda etu sa, huu Au ia, ho mo tititi-nonosi mara Lamatualain ma.
8 I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”
Basa rae Kanaꞌan ia, Au fee neu nggo mo tititi-nonosi mara. Oras ia, ho numban a sia ia. Dei fo tititi-nonosi mara soa rae Kanaꞌan ia losa doo na neu. Ma Au o dadꞌi sira Lamatualain na.
9 Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.
Te ho mo tititi-nonosi mara musi toꞌu mihereꞌ hehelu-fufuliꞌ ia losa babasa na. Basa touꞌ ra musi sunat.
10 This is my agreement with you and your descendants who come after you, the agreement you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.
Ia naa, ho musi muu sunat basa touꞌ mia fai beꞌe faluꞌ ra. Ho bobꞌonggi ma, atahori mana tao ues ra, no ate fo hasa mia nusa feaꞌ, basa se musi sunat. Sunat ia, dadꞌi hita ruꞌa nggita bukti hehelu-fufuliꞌ na sia hei ao mara.
12 From now and for all generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. This includes not only your sons but also those born in your household or bought from foreigners.
13 You must circumcise those born in your household or bought from foreigners as a sign in your bodies of my eternal agreement.
14 Any uncircumcised male who refuses circumcision will be excluded from his people because he has broken my agreement.”
Touꞌ bee nda sunat sa naa, ana nda masoꞌ sia Au hehelu-fufuli Ngga rala, ma nda dadꞌi Au atahori Ngga sa.”
15 Then God told Abraham, “Now about Sarai your wife. Don't call her Sarai any longer. Instead, her name will be Sarah.
Basa de, Lamatualain olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Mia faiꞌ ia, ho afiꞌ moꞌe sao ma, mae Sarai, te maeꞌ a Sara.
16 I will bless her and I promise to give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations, and kings will be among her descendants.”
Dei fo Au fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naeꞌ neu Sara, fo ana bonggi fee nggo ana touꞌ esa. Tebꞌe! Dei fo Sara dadꞌi leo naeꞌ bei-baꞌi nara. Au o soꞌu maneꞌ naeꞌ mia tititi-nonosi na.”
17 Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground. But inside he was laughing, asking himself, “How on earth could I have a son at the age of one hundred? How could Sarah have a child when she is ninety?”
Boe ma Abraham sendeꞌ lululangga na, ma beꞌutee losa rae a. Te ana mali sia rala na, ma duꞌa nae, “Tou lasi naeꞌ too natun esa onaꞌ au ia, feꞌe hambu anaꞌ? Ma Sara o lasi naeꞌ too sio nulu naa, feꞌe nae bꞌonggi ena?”
18 Abraham said to God, “May Ishmael always live under your blessing!”
De ana nafadꞌe Lamatualain nae, “Lamatualain. Hela fo Ismael hambu au hata-heto ngga o, nda saa saꞌ boe.”
19 “No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement.
Te Lamatualain nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ! Mete te sao ma Sara bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ho musi babꞌae naran, Isak. Au hehelu-fufuli Ngga tudꞌa neu e, no tititi-nonosi nara, losa doo na neu.
20 Now about Ishmael. I heard what you said, and I will also bless him. I will make sure he has a great many descendants. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.
Te Au o rena saa fo moꞌe fee Ismael. Naa de, Au o fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu e, ma tao umuhefu-umubela tititi-nonosi nara boe. Dei fo hambu maneleo sanahulu rua mia tititi-nonosi nara. Ma tititi-nonosi nara dadꞌi leo esa manaseliꞌ.
21 But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”
Onaꞌ mae taꞌo naa o, Au hehelu-fufuli Ngga ia fee neu ana ma Isak. To mana nemaꞌ ia, nandaa no leleꞌ ia, Sara bꞌonggi e.”
22 When God had finished speaking with Abraham he left him.
Olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa ma, Lamatualain lao hela Abraham.
23 That day Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael as well as all those born in his household or purchased, in fact every male among the members of Abraham's household, just as God had told him.
Faiꞌ naa boe, Abraham tungga Lamatualain parenda Na, de ana sunat. Ana o sunat Ismael no basa touꞌ mana sia ume na ma basa ate touꞌ ra boe. Leleꞌ naa, Abraham too sio nulu sio, ma Ismael too sanahulu telu.
24 Abraham was 99 when he was circumcised,
25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen.
26 Both Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
27 All the males in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or purchased from foreigners, were circumcised with him.
