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,
Tango Abrami akokisaki mibu tuku libwa na libwa ya mbotama, Yawe abimelaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: « Nazali Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso. Tambola liboso na Ngai mpe zala moto azanga pamela.
2 And I will make my couenant betweene me and thee, and I will multiplie thee exceedingly.
Nakosala boyokani kati na Ngai mpe yo, mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele penza. »
3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
Abrami afukamaki elongi kino na mabele, mpe Nzambe alobaki na ye lisusu:
4 Beholde, I make my couenant with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations,
« Mpo na Ngai, tala boyokani oyo nazali kosala elongo na yo: ‹ Okozala tata ya bikolo ebele.
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.
Bakobenga yo lisusu Abrami te; kombo na yo ekokoma Abrayami, pamba te nakokomisa yo tata ya bikolo ebele.
6 Also I will make thee exceeding fruitfull, and will make nations of thee: yea, Kings shall proceede of thee.
Nakopesa yo mabota ebele, nakobimisa bikolo mpe bakonzi na nzela na yo.
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.
Nakobatela boyokani na Ngai lokola boyokani ya libela na libela kati na Ngai mpe yo, mpe elongo na bakitani na yo sima na yo, mpo na milongo oyo ekoya na sima, mpo ete nazala Nzambe na yo mpe Nzambe ya bakitani na yo sima na yo.
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.
Nakopesa lokola libula ya seko na seko, epai na yo mpe epai ya bakitani na yo sima na yo, mokili nyonso ya Kanana epai wapi ozali mopaya. Nakozala Nzambe ya bakitani na yo. › »
9 Againe God said vnto Abraham, Thou also shalt keepe my couenant, thou, and thy seede after thee in their generations.
Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Abrayami: « Kasi mpo na yo, osengeli kobatela boyokani na Ngai, yo elongo na bakitani na yo sima na yo mpo na milongo oyo ekoya sima.
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:
Tala boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo mpe bakitani na yo sima na yo, boyokani oyo osengeli kobatela: Mwana mobali nyonso kati na bino asengeli kokatama ngenga.
11 That is, ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shalbe a signe of the couenant betweene me and you.
Kokatama ngenga ekozala elembo ya boyokani kati na bino mpe Ngai.
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.
Mpo na milongo nyonso oyo ekoya, mwana mobali nyonso kati na bino, oyo akokisi mikolo mwambe asengeli kokatama ngenga: ezala mwana mobali oyo abotami kati na ndako na yo to mwana mobali oyo osombi na mosolo na yo epai ya mopaya, mwana mobali oyo azali mokitani na yo te, ye mpe asengeli kokatama ngenga.
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.
Mowumbu nyonso oyo abotami kati na ndako na yo to oyo osombi na mosolo na yo asengeli kokatama ngenga. Boyokani na Ngai ekozala kati na banzoto na bino lokola boyokani ya libela na libela.
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.
Mwana mobali nyonso oyo akokatama ngenga te, bakolongola ye kati na bato na ye, mpo ete abebisi boyokani na Ngai. »
15 Afterward God said vnto Abraham, Sarai thy wife shalt thou not call Sarai, but Sarah shalbe her name.
Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Abrayami: « Mpo na Sarayi, mwasi na yo, okobenga ye lisusu te Sarayi, kasi okokoma kobenga ye Sara.
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.
Nakopambola ye mpe nakopesa yo penza mwana mobali na nzela na ye; nakopambola ye mpo ete akoma mama ya bikolo. Bakonzi ya bikolo bakobima na nzela na ye. »
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?
Abrayami afukamaki elongi kino na mabele, asekaki mpe amilobelaki: « Eh! Mobali oyo azali na mibu nkama moko ya mbotama akoki lisusu kobota mwana! Bongo Sara, mwasi oyo azali na mibu tuku libwa ya mbotama, akoki penza kokumba zemi! »
18 And Abraham saide vnto God, Oh, that Ishmael might liue in thy sight.
Boye Abrayami alobaki na Nzambe: — Tika ete Isimaeli awumela na se ya lipamboli na Yo!
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.
Nzambe alobaki: — Te! Mwasi na yo, Sara, akobotela yo mwana mobali, mpe okobenga ye « Izaki. » Nakobatela boyokani na Ngai lokola boyokani ya libela elongo na ye mpe bakitani na ye sima na ye.
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.
Kasi mpo na Isimaeli, nayoki yo. Solo, nakopambola ye, nakopesa ye mabota ebele mpe nakokomisa bakitani na ye ebele. Akozala tata ya bakambi zomi na mibale, mpe nakokomisa ye tata ya ekolo monene.
21 But my couenant will I establish with Izhak, which Sarah shall beare vnto thee, the next yeere at this season.
Kasi na oyo etali boyokani na Ngai, nakosala yango elongo na Izaki, mwana mobali oyo Sara akobotela yo na eleko oyo, na mobu oyo ezali koya.
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went vp from Abraham.
Tango Nzambe asilisaki kosolola na Abrayami, akendeki.
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.
Kaka na mokolo wana, Abrayami azwaki mwana na ye ya mobali, Isimaeli, mpe bawumbu nyonso, ezala ba-oyo babotamaki na ndako na ye to ba-oyo asombaki na mosolo, akatisaki bango nyonso ngenga ndenge kaka Nzambe alobaki na ye.
24 Abraham also himselfe was ninetie yeere olde and nine, when the foreskinne of his flesh was circumcised.
Abrayami azalaki na mibu tuku libwa na libwa ya mbotama tango akatamaki ngenga;
25 And Ishmael his sonne was thirteene yeere olde, when the foreskinne of his flesh was circumcised.
mpe Isimaeli, mwana na ye ya mobali, azalaki na mibu zomi na misato tango akatamaki ngenga.
26 The selfe same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his sonne:
Abrayami mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Isimaeli, bakatamaki ngenga mokolo moko.
27 And all the men of his house, both borne in his house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Mibali nyonso kati na ndako ya Abrayami, ezala ba-oyo babotamaki na ndako na ye to ba-oyo asombaki na mokili ya bapaya, bakatamaki ngenga elongo na ye.
