Genesis 17
1 And Abram is a son of ninety-nine years, and YHWH appears to Abram, and says to him, “I [am] God Almighty, habitually walk before Me, and be perfect;
Pamene Abramu anali ndi zaka 99, Yehova anamuonekera nati, “Ine ndine Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse. Ukhale munthu wochita zolungama nthawi zonse.
2 and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”
Ndipo Ine ndikulonjeza kuti ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri.”
3 And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,
Pomwepo Abramu anadziponya pansi ndipo Mulungu anati kwa iye,
4 “I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;
“Pangano langa ndi iwe ndi ili: Udzakhala kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
5 and your name is no longer called Abram, but your name has been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you;
Sudzatchedwanso Abramu; dzina lako lidzakhala Abrahamu, chifukwa ndakusandutsa kukhala kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
6 and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.
Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri motero kuti mitundu yambiri ya anthu idzatuluka mwa iwe. Mafumunso adzatuluka mwa iwe.
7 And I have established My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant, to become God to you, and to your seed after you;
Pangano langa ndi iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu za mibado ya mʼtsogolo lidzakhala la muyaya. Ndidzakhala Mulungu wako ndi Mulungu wa zidzukulu zako.
8 and I have given to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a continuous possession, and I have become their God.”
Dziko lonse la Kanaani, limene iwe ukukhala tsopano, ndalipereka kwa iwe ndi kwa zidzukulu zako kuti likhale chuma chanu mpaka muyaya. Ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wa zidzukulu zako.”
9 And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout their generations;
Kenaka Mulungu anati kwa Abrahamu, “Koma iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako mʼmibado ya mʼtsogolomo, sungani pangano langali.
10 this [is] My covenant which you keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: every male of you [is] to be circumcised;
Iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako muzisunga pangano ili loti mwamuna aliyense pakati panupa azichita mdulidwe.
11 and you have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
Kuyambira tsopano muzichita mdulidwe ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro cha pangano langa ndi iwe.
12 And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male throughout your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of your seed;
Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mibado ya mʼtsogolomo mwana wamwamuna aliyense pakati panu amene wakwana masiku asanu ndi atatu ayenera kuchita mdulidwe. Awa ndi ana obadwa mʼbanja lako, kapena akapolo ochita kugula ndi ndalama, mlendo osakhala wa mʼmbumba yako.
13 he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in your house, or bought with your money; and My covenant has become in your flesh a perpetual covenant;
Achite mdulidwe ndithu mwana wamwamuna aliyense, mbadwa ngakhale kapolo wochita kugula ndi ndalama, ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro pa thupi lanu cha pangano langa lamuyaya.
14 and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people; My covenant he has broken.”
Mwamuna aliyense amene adzakhala wosachita mdulidwe adzachotsedwa pakati pa anthu ake chifukwa sanasunge pangano langa.”
15 And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
Mulungu anatinso kwa Abrahamu, “Sarai mkazi wako, sudzamutchanso Sarai; dzina lake lidzakhala Sara.
16 and I have blessed her, and have also given to you a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she has become nations—kings of peoples are from her.”
Ndidzamudalitsa ndipo adzakubalira mwana wamwamuna. Ndidzamudalitsa kuti akhale mayi wa mitundu ya anthu; mafumu a anthuwo adzachokera mwa iye.”
17 And Abraham falls on his face, and laughs, and says in his heart, “Is one born to the son of one hundred years? Or does Sarah—daughter of ninety years—bear?”
Abrahamu anadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pa Yehova, Iye anaseka nati, “Kodi munthu wa zaka 100 nʼkubala mwana? Kodi Sara adzabereka mwana pa msinkhu wa zaka makumi asanu ndi anayi?”
18 And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”;
Ndipo Abrahamu anati kwa Mulungu, “Bwanji mumudalitse Ismaeli.”
19 and God says, “Your wife Sarah is certainly bearing a son to you, and you have called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a perpetual covenant, to his seed after him.
Koma Mulungu anati, “Ayi, koma mkazi wako Sara adzakubalira mwana wamwamuna, ndipo udzamutcha Isake. Ndidzasunga pangano langa losatha ndi iyeyu komanso ndi zidzukulu zobwera pambuyo pake.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes does he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;
Koma za Ismaeli, ndamva. Ndidzamudalitsadi, ndipo adzakhala ndi zidzukulu zambiri. Iye adzakhala kholo la mafumu khumi ndi awiri ndipo mwa iye mudzatuluka mtundu waukulu wa anthu.
21 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;
Koma ndidzasunga pangano langali ndi Isake amene Sara adzakubalira pofika nthawi ngati ino chaka chamawa.”
22 and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham.
Atatha kuyankhula, Mulungu anamuchokera Abrahamu.
23 And Abraham takes his son Ishmael, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money—every male among the men of Abraham’s house and circumcises the flesh of their foreskin, in this very same day, as God has spoken with him.
Tsono Abrahamu anachita mdulidwe mwana wake Ismaeli ndi onse amene anali mʼbanja lake, mbadwa ngakhale kapolo ochita kugula ndi ndalama, monga mmene Mulungu analamulira.
24 And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Abrahamu anali ndi zaka 99 pamene anachita mdulidwe,
25 and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
ndipo mwana wake Ismaeli anali ndi zaka khumi ndi zitatu;
26 in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;
Onse, Abrahamu ndi mwana wake Ismaeli, anachita mdulidwe tsiku limodzi.
27 and all the men of his house—born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger—have been circumcised with him.
Aliyense wamwamuna wa pa banja pa Abrahamu, kuphatikizapo iwo amene anabadwira pa banja pomwepo kapena akapolo ogula ndi ndalama kwa alendo, anachita mdulidwe.
