Genesis 17

1 And when Abram was ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be thou perfect.

A, i te mea ka iwa tekau ma iwa nga tau o Aperama, ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a Aperama, ka mea ki a ia, Ko ahau te Atua Kaha Rawa; haereere i mua i toku aroaro, kia tapatahi hoki te whakaaro.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly.

A ka waiho e ahau taku kawenata ki waenganui i a taua, ka tino whakanui rawa ano ahau i a koe.

3 And Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,

Na ka kupapa te kanohi o Aperama: a ka korero te Atua ki a ia, ka mea,

4 As for me, behold my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt become the father of a multitude of nations.

Na ko ahau, kei a koe taku kawenata, a ka matua koe mo nga iwi maha.

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.

E kore hoki tou ingoa e huaina a muri ake nei ko Aperama, engari ko Aperahama te ingoa mou; ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei matua mo nga iwi maha.

6 And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will cause thee to become nations; and kings shall come out of thee.

Ka meinga ano koe e ahau kia tino hua rawa, ka meinga koe e ahau hei take mo nga iwi, a ka puta mai nga kingi i roto i a koe.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and between thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant: to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

A ka whakapumautia e ahau taku kawenata ki waenganui oku, o koutou hoki ko ou uri i muri i a koe, o tera whakatupuranga, o tera whakatupuranga o ratou, hei kawenata mau tonu, a hei Atua ahau mou, mo ou uri hoki i muri i a koe.

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

A ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki ou uri hoki i muri i a koe, te whenua e noho manene na koe, te whenua katoa o Kanaana, hei kainga pumau; a hei Atua ahau mo ratou.

9 And God said unto Abraham, But thou, for thy part, shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, in their generations.

I mea ano te Atua ki a Aperahama, Ina, ko koe, me whakarite e koe taku kawenata, e koutou ko ou uri i muri i a koe, e tera whakatupuranga, e tera whakatupuranga o ratou.

10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and between you, and between thy seed after thee: Every man-child among you shall be circumcised.

Ko taku kawenata tenei hei whakaritenga ma koutou i waenganui oku, o koutou ko ou uri i muri i a koe; Me kokoti a koutou tane katoa.

11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and this shall serve as the token of the covenant between me and you.

Me kokoti e koutou to koutou kiri matamata: a ka waiho tena hei tohu mo te kawenata i waenganui oku, o koutou.

12 And at eight days old shall every man-child in your generations be circumcised among you, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, who is not of thy seed.

Me kokoti e koutou nga tamariki ina waru nga ra, nga tane katoa o tena whakatupuranga, o tena whakatupuranga o koutou, nga mea i whanau i roto i te whare, i hokona ranei ki te moni i tetahi tangata ke, ehara nei i te uri nou.

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.

Me kokoti tonu te tangata i whanau i roto i tou whare, i hokona ranei ki tau moni, a ka mau taku kawenata ki o koutou kikokiko, hei kawenata mau tonu.

14 And any uncircumcised male, who circumciseth not the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

A, ko te tane kihai i kotia, kihai nei i kotia tona kiri matamata, ka hatepea atu tena wairua i roto i tona iwi; kua whakataka e ia taku kawenata.

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

A ka mea te Atua ki a Aperahama, Ko Harai, ko tau wahine, kaua e huaina tona ingoa ko Harai, engari ko Hara he ingoa mona.

16 And I will bless her, and give thee also a son of her; yea I will bless her, and she shall become a mother of nations; kings of people shall spring from her.

A ko manaaki ahau i a ia, ka hoatu ano hoki i tetahi tama ki a koe i roto i a ia: ina, ka manaaki ahau i a ia, a hei whaea ia mo nga iwi; ka puta mai nga kingi mo nga iwi i roto i a ia.

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

Na ka kupapa te kanohi o Aperahama ki raro, a ka kata ia, ka mea hoki i roto i tona ngakau, Tera ranei e whanau he tama ma te tangata kua kotahi rau nei ona tau? e whanau tamariki ranei a Hara, te wahine kua iwa tekau nei ona tau?

18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

Na ka mea ake a Aperahama ki te Atua, Kia ora noa oti a Ihimaera ki tou aroaro!

19 And God said, Truly, 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.

Na ka mea te Atua, Ehara, ka whanau ta korua tama ko Hara; a me hua e koe tona ingoa ko Ihaka: ka whakapumau ano ahau i taku kawenata ki a ia, ki ona uri hoki i muri i a ia, hei kawenata mau tonu.

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 of him a great nation.

Ko Ihimaera ia, na, kua whakarongo ahau ki a koe; nana, kua oti ia te manaaki e ahau, a ka meinga ia e ahau kia hua, kia tino nui rawa hoki; ka whanau ana tamariki kotahi tekau ma rua he ariki, a ka meinga ia e ahau hei iwi nui.

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

Ka whakapumautia ia e ahau taku kawenata ki a Ihaka, ka whanau nei i a korua ko Hara a te taima e rite ana ki tenei o te tau e haere ake nei.

22 And when he had left off talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

A ka mutu tana korero ki a ia, a mawehe atu ana te Atua i a Aperahama ki runga.

23 And Abraham now 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 he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on the selfsame day, as God had spoken unto him.

Katahi ka tongo a Aperahama i a Ihimaera i tana tama, ratou ko nga mea katoa i whanau i roto i tona whare, me nga mea katoa i hokona ki tana moni, nga tane katoa i roto i nga tangata o te whare o Aperahama; a kotia ana e ia to ratou kiri matamat a i taua ra pu ano, i pera me ta te Atua i korero ai ki a ia.

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

Na e iwa tekau ma iwa nga tau o Aperahama i te kotinga o tona kiri matamata.

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

Kotahi tekau ma toru hoki nga tau o tana tama o Ihimaera i te kotinga o tona kiri matamata.

26 On the self-same day was Abraham circumcised, with Ishmael his son.

No taua rangi pu ano i kotia ai a Aperahama, raua ko tana tama, ko Ihimaera.

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

A i kotia ngatahitia me ia nga tangata katoa o tona whare, nga mea i whanau i roto i te whare, me nga mea i hokona ki te moni i te tangata iwi ke.
