Genesis 17
1 When Abram was ninetie yeere olde and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said vnto him, I am God all sufficient. walke before me, and be thou vpright,
Esi Abram xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ-vɔ-asiekɛ la, Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la. Ɖo tom, eye nànɔ agbe abe ale si dze ene.
2 And I will make my couenant betweene me and thee, and I will multiplie thee exceedingly.
Maɖo kpe nubabla si le nye kpli wò dome la dzi, eye miadzi ɖe edzi fũu.”
3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
Abram tsyɔ mo anyi, eye Mawu gblɔ nɛ be,
4 Beholde, I make my couenant with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations,
“Nye la, esiae nye nye nubabla kpli wò: ànye dukɔ geɖewo fofo.”
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made thee.
Mawu yi edzi be, “Wò ŋkɔ maganye Abram o, ke boŋ ezu Abraham, elabena meɖo wò dukɔ geɖewo fofoe.
6 Also I will make thee exceeding fruitfull, and will make nations of thee: yea, Kings shall proceede of thee.
Mana dzidzimevi akpe akpewo wò, eye woazu dukɔ geɖewo! Fiawo anɔ wò dzidzimeviwo dome!
7 Moreouer I wil establish my couenant betweene me and thee, and thy seede after thee in their generations, for an euerlasting couenant, to be God vnto thee and to thy seede after thee.
“Mana nye nubabla nazu nubabla mavɔ le nye kpli wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo dome hena dzidzime siwo gbɔna la, be manye wò Mawu kple Mawu na wò dzidzimeviwo.
8 And I will giue thee and thy seede after thee the land, wherein thou art a stranger, euen all the land of Canaan, for an euerlasting possession, and I will be their God.
Kanaanyigba blibo la, afi si nèle fifia abe amedzro ene la, matsɔe na wò wòanye tɔwò kple wò dzidzimeviwo tɔ tegbetegbe, eye manye woƒe Mawu.”
9 Againe God said vnto Abraham, Thou also shalt keepe my couenant, thou, and thy seede after thee in their generations.
Eye Mawu gblɔ na Abraham be, “Ele na wò be nàlé nye nubabla me ɖe asi, wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo le dzidzime siwo ava la me.
10 This is my couenant which ye shall keepe betweene me and you, and thy seede after thee, Let euery man childe among you be circumcised:
Esia nye nye nubabla kpli wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo, nubabla si mialé be na le mia dome lae nye be: Woatso aʋa na ŋutsu sia ŋutsu le mia dome.
11 That is, ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shalbe a signe of the couenant betweene me and you.
Woaɖe miaƒe aʋanuyiwo ɖa. Esia anye dzesi be wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo siaa miexɔ nubabla sia.
12 And euery man childe of eight dayes olde among you, shalbe circumcised in your generations, aswell he that is borne in thine house, as he that is bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seede.
Woatso aʋa na ŋutsuvi ɖe sia ɖe le gbe si gbe wodzii la ƒe ŋkeke enyia gbe. Woatso aʋa na wò kluvi siwo nèƒle kple ga alo wo ƒe viwo kple wò ŋutɔ wò dzidzimeviwo siaa. Esia nye nubabla ƒe akpa si anɔ anyi tegbee, eye wòanye dɔdeasi na wò dzidzimeviwo katã.
13 He that is borne in thine house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needes be circumcised: so my couenant shall be in your flesh for an euerlasting couenant.
Ele be woatso aʋa na ame sia ame. Ele be woato mɔ sia nu ade dzesi miaƒe ŋutilã be mianye gomekpɔlawo le nye nubabla mavɔ la me.
14 But the vncircumcised man childe, in whose flesh the foreskin is not circumcised, euen that person shall be cut off from his people, because he hath broken my couenant.
Woaɖe ame sia ame si metso aʋa o la ɖa le eƒe ƒometɔwo dome, elabena mewɔ nye nubabla la dzi o.”
15 Afterward God said vnto Abraham, Sarai thy wife shalt thou not call Sarai, but Sarah shalbe her name.
Mawu yi edzi gblɔ na Abraham be, “Womagayɔ srɔ̃wò be Sarai o, ke boŋ woayɔe azɔ be, ‘Sara’ si gɔmee nye ‘Fiavinyɔnu.’
16 And I will blesse her, and will also giue thee a sonne of her, yea, I will blesse her, and she shall be the mother of nations: Kings also of people shall come of her.
Mayrae, eye mana wòadzi ŋutsuvi na wò! Ɛ̃, makɔ yayra geɖe ɖe edzi, eye mana wòazu dukɔ geɖewo dada! Fia geɖewo anɔ miaƒe dzidzimeviwo dome.”
17 Then Abraham fell vpon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a childe be borne vnto him, that is an hundreth yeere olde? and shall Sarah that is ninetie yeere olde beare?
Esi Abraham se nya siawo la, etsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume. Eko nu le eɖokui me le dzimaxɔse ta, hebia eɖokui be, “Ɖe nye ame si xɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka la, magate ŋu azu fofo, eye Sara ame si xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ la agate ŋu adzi via?”
18 And Abraham saide vnto God, Oh, that Ishmael might liue in thy sight.
Abraham gblɔ na Mawu be, “Meɖe kuku, yra Ismael nam ko!”
19 Then God saide, Sarah thy wife shall beare thee a sonne in deede, and thou shalt call his name Izhak: and I will establish my couenant with him for an euerlasting couenant, and with his seede after him.
Mawu ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, menye nenemae megblɔ o. Sara adzi ŋutsuvi na wò, eye miana ŋkɔe be, Isak si gɔmee nye ‘Nukoko.’ Mabla nu kple eya kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo tegbetegbe.
20 And as concerning Ishmael, I haue heard thee: loe, I haue blessed him, and will make him fruitfull, and will multiplie him exceedingly: twelue princes shall he beget, and I will make a great nation of him.
Melɔ̃ be mayra Ismael hã abe ale si nèbiae ene. Mana wòadzi asɔ gbɔ, eye wòazu dukɔ gã aɖe. Fiavi ŋutsuvi wuieve anɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo dome.
21 But my couenant will I establish with Izhak, which Sarah shall beare vnto thee, the next yeere at this season.
Ke nye nubabla le nye kple Isak dome, ame si Sara adzi na wò le ƒe si gbɔna la ƒe ɣe aleawo ɣi.”
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went vp from Abraham.
Ale Abraham kple Mawu ƒe dzeɖoɖo wu enu, eye Mawu dzo.
23 Then Abraham tooke Ishmael his sonne and all that were borne in his house, and all that was bought with his money, that is, euery man childe among the men of Abrahams house, and he circumcised the foreskinne of their flesh in that selfe same day, as God had comaunded him.
Gbe ma gbe ke la, Abraham tso aʋa na via, Ismael kple ŋutsuvi bubu ɖe sia ɖe si wodzi ɖe eƒe aƒe me alo ƒle kple ga va eƒe aƒe me abe ale si Mawu ɖo nɛ ene.
24 Abraham also himselfe was ninetie yeere olde and nine, when the foreskinne of his flesh was circumcised.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Abraham xɔ ƒe blaasiekɛ-vɔ-asiekɛ hafi wotso aʋa nɛ,
25 And Ishmael his sonne was thirteene yeere olde, when the foreskinne of his flesh was circumcised.
eye Via ŋutsuvi, Ismael, xɔ ƒe wuietɔ̃ hafi wotso aʋa nɛ.
26 The selfe same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his sonne:
Wotso aʋa na Abraham kple Via ŋutsuvi, Ismael, le ŋkeke ɖeka ma dzi.
27 And all the men of his house, both borne in his house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Eye wotso aʋa na ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe le Abraham ƒe aƒe me, ame si wodzi le eƒe aƒe me kple kluvi si woƒle le amedzro aɖe si siaa.
