Genesis 17

1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him: 'I am God Almighty; walk before Me, and be thou wholehearted.

Ibulaamu bwe yaweza emyaka kyenda mu mwenda, Mukama n’amulabikira, n’amugamba nti, “Ndi Katonda Ayinzabyonna, tambulira mu maaso gange obe nga toliiko kya kunenyezebwa.

2 And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.'

Ndikola endagaano yange naawe era ndikwaliza ddala nnyo.”

3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying:

Awo Ibulaamu n’avuunama; Katonda n’amugamba nti,

4 'As for Me, behold, My covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations.

“Laba, ndikola naawe endagaano, era onoobeeranga kitaawe w’amawanga mangi.

5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

Erinnya lyo tokyayitibwa Ibulaamu, wabula onooyitibwanga Ibulayimu, kubanga nkufudde kitaawe w’amawanga mangi.

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

Ndikwaza nnyo nnyini; era ndikufuula amawanga, ne bakabaka baliva mu ggwe.

7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.

Era ndituukiriza endagaano yange naawe, n’ezzadde lyo mbeere Katonda wo era Katonda w’ezzadde lyo eririddawo. Endagaano eno teriggwaawo emirembe n’emirembe.

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.'

Era ndikuwa ggwe n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo ensi mw’obadde omusenze, ensi yonna eya Kanani, okuba eyiyo emirembe gyonna; era ndiba Katonda waabwe.”

9 And God said unto Abraham: 'And as for thee, thou shalt keep My covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.

Awo Katonda n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Ggwe ky’olina okukola kwe kukwata endagaano yange, ggwe n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo emirembe gyabwe gyonna.

10 This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.

Eno y’endagaano yange naawe n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo, gy’onookuumanga: Buli musajja mu mmwe anaakomolebwanga.

11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt Me and you.

Munaakomolebwanga ekikuta eky’omubiri gwammwe, ekyo kibeere akabonero ak’endagaano yange naawe.

12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed.

Buli mwana owoobulenzi anaawezanga ennaku omunaana ez’obukulu mu mmwe mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna anaakomolebwanga,

13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

oyo azaaliddwa mu nnyumba yo oba gw’oguze n’ensimbi zo okuva ku munnaggwanga anaakomolebwanga. Endagaano yange eteriggwaawo eneebanga mu mubiri gwo.

14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant.'

Omwana owoobulenzi yenna atali mukomole, atakomolebbwa kikuta kya mubiri gwe, taabalibwenga mu bantu be, aba amenye endagaano yange.”

15 And God said unto Abraham: 'As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

Katonda n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Era Salaayi mukazi wo, tokyamuyita Salaayi, erinnya lye linaabanga Saala.

16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.'

Ndimuwa omukisa, era ndikuwa omwana owoobulenzi mu ye. Ndimuwa omukisa, alibeera jjajja w’amawanga, bakabaka baamawanga baliva mu ye.”

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart: 'Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?'

Awo Ibulayimu n’avuunama n’aseka, n’agamba munda ye nti, “Omwana alizaalirwa oyo eyaakamala emyaka ekikumi? Saala ow’emyaka ekyenda alizaala omwana?”

18 And Abraham said unto God: 'Oh that Ishmael might live before Thee!'

Ibulayimu n’agamba Katonda nti, “Isimayiri abeerenga mulamu mu maaso go!”

19 And God said: 'Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Nedda, naye Saala mukazi wo alikuzaalira omwana owoobulenzi, olimutuuma erinnya Isaaka. Ndinyweza endagaano yange naye okuba endagaano etaliggwaawo ku zadde lye eririddawo.

20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

Ku Isimayiri nkuwulidde: Laba, ndimuwa omukisa, alyeyongera, ndimwaliza ddala nnyo, aliba jjajja w’abalangira kkumi na babiri, era ndimufuula eggwanga ery’amaanyi.

21 But My covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.'

Kyokka ndinyweza endagaano yange ne Isaaka, Saala gw’alikuzaalira mu kiseera nga kino omwaka ogujja.”

22 And He left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

Katonda bwe yamala okwogera naye, Ibulayimu n’ava we yali.

23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

Awo Ibulayimu n’atwala Isimayiri mutabani we n’abaddu bonna abaazaalirwa mu nnyumba ye n’abo abaagulibwa n’ensimbi ze, buli musajja yenna mu nnyumba ya Ibulayimu n’akomolwa buli omu ekikuta ky’omubiri gwe ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, nga Katonda bwe yamugamba.

24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

Ibulayimu yali aweza emyaka kyenda mu mwenda bwe yakomolebwa ekikuta ky’omubiri gwe.

25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

Ne Isimayiri mutabani we yali wa myaka kkumi n’esatu bwe yakomolebwa ekikuta ky’omubiri gwe.

26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Ibulayimu ne mutabani we Isimayiri lwe baakomolebwa.

27 And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

N’abasajja bonna mu nnyumba y’abo abazaalirwamu n’abo abaagulibwa n’ensimbi ze okuva eri munnaggwanga, baakomolebwa wamu naye.
