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;
Abram kum sawmko neh kum ko a lo ca vaengah Abram taengla BOEIPA phoe tih, “Kai tah Tlungthang Pathen ni. Kai mikhmuh ah pongpa lamtah cuemthuek la om lah.
2 and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”
Ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah ka khueh vetih nang te muep muep kam ping sak ni,” a ti nah.
3 And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,
Te dongah Abram loh a hmai la a bakop hatah Pathen loh,
4 “I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;
“Kai khaw he, nang taengah ka paipi a om vanbangla namtom hlangping kah a napa la na om ni.
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;
Nang he namtom hlangping kah a napa la kan khueh coeng dongah na ming khaw Abram la n'khue voel mahpawh. Tedae nang ming te Abraham la om pawn ni.
6 and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.
Nang te muep muep kan pungtai sak vetih namtom rhoek la kan khueh ni. Te vaengah nang taeng lamkah manghai rhoek ha thoeng ni.
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;
Te vaengah ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan, amih kah cadilcahma laklo ah kumhal paipi la ka thoh ni. Nang ham neh nang phoeikah na tiingan ham Pathen la ka om ni.
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.”
Te vaengah na lampahnah khohmuen Kanaan kho pum te kumhal khohut la nang neh nang phoeikah na tiingan taengah kam paek vetih amih taengah Pathen la ka om ni “a ti nah.
9 And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout their generations;
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham taengah, “Te dongah ka paipi he nang namah ham khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan ham khaw, amih kah cadilcahma ham khaw ngaithuen.
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;
Ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan laklo ah ngaithuen vetih nangmih khuikah tongpa boeih te yahhmui rhet pah.
11 and you have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
Te dongah yahhmui na rhet vaengkah na yahhmui saa te kai laklo neh nang laklo kah paipi miknoek la om ni.
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;
Te phoeiah nangmih khuikah neh na cadilcahma, im kah cahlah, neh namah tiingan lamkah pawt tih tangka neh na lai kholong ca boeih khuikah tongpa boeih loh hnin rhet a lo ca vaengah yahhmui rhet saeh.
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;
Na im kah cahlah long khaw, na tangka neh na lai long khaw, yahhmui a rhet rhoela a rhet daengah ni ka paipi loh na pumsa dongah kumhal paipi la a om eh.
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.”
Tedae amah kah yahhmui saa aka rhet mueh tongpa pumdul te tah ka paipi a kak sak dongah a pilnam khui lamkah tekah hinglu te khoe saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham taengah, “Na yuu Sarai amah ming neh na khue mahpawh. Anih ming Sarah te Sarai yuengla om coeng.
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.”
Anih khaw yoethen ka paek vetih anih rhang neh nang ham capa khaw kan paek ni. Anih yoethen ka paek vetih namtom la coeng ni. Pilnam rhoek kah manghai rhoek khaw anih khui lamkah ha thoeng uh ni,” a ti nah.
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?”
Te vaengah Abraham tah a maelhmai neh bakop tih a nueih doela a lungbuei khuiah, “Kum yakhat pa loh a sak vetih kum sawmko nu Sarah loh ca a cun koinih?” a ti.
18 And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”;
Te dongah Abraham loh Pathen taengah, “Na hmai ah Ishmael mah hing mai koinih,” a ti nah.
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.
Tedae Pathen loh, “Thuem ngawn dae na yuu Sarah loh nang ham capa han cun vetih a ming te Isaak na sui ni. Ka paipi khaw anih neh anih phoeikah a tiingan ham dungyan paipi la ka thoh ni.
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;
Tedae Ishmael ham khaw ka yaak ngawn ne. Anih khaw yoethen ka paek vetih ka pungtai sak ni. Muep muep ka ping sak phoeiah khoboei hlai nit a sak vetih pilnu la ka khueh ni.
21 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;
Tedae ka paipi he Isaak taengah ni ka thoh eh. Anih te hmai kum kah tahae khoning vaengah Sarah loh nang hamla a cun ni,” a ti nah.
22 and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham.
Anih taengah thui ham te a khah van neh Pathen khaw Abraham taeng lamkah nong.
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.
Te dongah Abraham loh a capa Ishmael khaw, a im kah cahlah boeih khaw, Abraham imkhui tongpa rhoek khuikah a tangka neh a lai tongpa boeih te a khuen tih Pathen loh a thui bangla amah khohnin van ah amih kah yahhmui saa te a rhet pah.
24 And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Te dongah Abraham loh a yahhmui saa a rhet vaengah kum sawmko neh kum ko lo ca coeng.
25 and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
A capa Ishmael khaw kum hlai thum a lo ca vaengah a yahhmui saa te a rhet pah.
26 in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;
Tekah khohnin van ah Abraham neh a capa Ishmael te yahhmui rhet pah la om.
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.
Te phoeiah a im kah hlang boeih, im kah cahlah neh kholong ca tangka neh a lai te khaw amah neh yahhmui a rhet uh.
