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;
Mgbe Ebram gbara iri afọ itoolu na itoolu, Onyenwe anyị gosiri ya onwe ya sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Jegharịa ije nʼihu m, bụrụ onye na-enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla.
2 and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ m dịrị nʼetiti mụ na gị, mekwa ka ị mụbaa nke ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ.”
3 And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,
Ebram dara nʼala, kpudo ihu ya nʼala. Chineke gwara ya sị,
4 “I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;
“Lee, nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na gị. Ị ga-abụ nna ọtụtụ mba.
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;
Aha gị agaghị abụkwa Ebram, kama ọ ga-abụ Ebraham, nʼihi na emeela m gị nna nke ọtụtụ mba.
6 and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.
Aga m eme gị ka ị mụbaa nke ukwuu. Aga m eme ka ị ghọọ ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị eze ga-esitekwa na gị pụta.
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;
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na gị gbara guzosie ike, ka ọ dịkwara ụmụ ụmụ ndị ga-esote gị nʼọgbọ niile na-abịa. Ọ bụ ọgbụgba ndụ na-egosi na m bụ Chineke gị, na Chineke ụmụ ụmụ gị niile ga-eso gị.
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.”
Ala Kenan niile, ebe ị nọ ugbu a dịka ọbịa ka m ga-enye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-esote gị dịka ihe nketa ebighị ebi. Aga m abụ Chineke ha.”
9 And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout their generations;
Chineke gwara Ebraham okwu sị ya, “Ma nʼebe ị nọ, ị ghaghị irube isi imezu ihe ọgbụgba ndụ m kwuru, gị onwe gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị, ruo ọgbọ niile.
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;
Nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị, ọgbụgba ndụ nke unu na-aghaghị idebe. A ga-ebi nwoke ọbụla nʼetiti unu ugwu.
11 and you have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
A ga-ebi unu ugwu, bipụ elu ahụ nke anụ ahụ unu. Nke a ga-abụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na unu.
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;
Nʼoge ọ gbara mkpụrụ ụbọchị asatọ, unu ga-ebi nwoke ọbụla nʼagbụrụ unu ugwu: ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ, maọbụ ndị eji ego zụta site nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ, ndị na-esighị na mkpụrụ nke afọ gị.
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;
A ga-ebi ha niile ugwu. Ma a mụrụ ha nʼezinaụlọ gị ma i ji ego zụta ha site nʼaka onye mba ọzọ. Ọgbụgba ndụ m nke ga-apụta ihe nʼanụ ahụ gị bụ ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi.
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.”
Nwoke ọbụla a na-ebighị ugwu nke anụ ahụ ka a ga-ebipụ site nʼetiti ụmụnna ya. Nʼihi na o mehiela megide ọgbụgba ndụ m.”
15 And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
Chineke gwakwara Ebraham sị, “Ma nʼebe Serai nwunye gị nọ, ị gaghị akpọkwa ya Serai ọzọ, kama aha ya ga-abụ Sera.
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.”
Aga m agọzi ya, sitekwa na ya nye gị nwa nwoke. Aga m agọzi ya ruo na ọ ga-abụ nne nke ọtụtụ mba. Ndị eze ga-achị ọtụtụ mmadụ ga-esite na ya pụta.”
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?”
Ebraham dara kpuo ihu nʼala, chịakwa ọchị nʼobi ya sị, “Ọ bụ onye gbara narị afọ ka a ga-amụrụ nwa? Sera, onye gbara iri afọ itoolu ọ ga-amụ nwa?”
18 And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”;
Ebraham gwara Chineke sị, “A sịkwa na ị ga-ekwe mee ka Ishmel bụrụ onye dị ndụ nʼihu gị.”
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.
Ma Chineke zara sị ya, “Ee, kama Sera nwunye gị ga-amụtara gị nwa nwoke. Ị ga-agụ ya Aịzik. Ọgbụgba ndụ m ga-adịkwara ya na agbụrụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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;
Ma banyere Ishmel, anụla m ihe i kwuru. Aga m agọzi ya mee ya ka ọ baa ụba ma dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ọ ga-aghọ nna ndị eze iri na abụọ. Aga m eme ya ka ọ ghọọ mba dị ukwuu.
21 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;
Ma ọgbụgba ndụ m ka m ga-eme ka o guzosie ike nʼebe Aịzik nọ, onye Sera ga-amụtara gị nʼoge dịka ugbu a nʼafọ ọzọ.”
22 and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham.
Mgbe ọ gwasịrị Ebraham okwu, Chineke si nʼebe ọ nọ pụọ.
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Ebraham duuru Ishmel nwa ya nwoke, na ndị ikom niile a mụrụ nʼezinaụlọ ya, tinyere ndị e ji ego zụta, ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya, bie ha ugwu dịka Chineke gwara ya ka ọ mee.
24 And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Ebraham gbara iri afọ itoolu na itoolu mgbe e biri ya ugwu,
25 and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Ishmel nwa ya gbara afọ iri na atọ.
26 in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;
E biri Ebraham na nwa ya bụ Ishmel ugwu nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ.
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.
Ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ Ebraham, ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ ya na ndị e si nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ zụta ka e biri ugwu nʼoge Ebraham biri ugwu.
