Genesis 17
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, God appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Walk before me, and be blameless.
Tango Abrami akokisaki mibu tuku libwa na libwa ya mbotama, Yawe abimelaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: « Nazali Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso. Tambola liboso na Ngai mpe zala moto azanga pamela.
2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you greatly."
Nakosala boyokani kati na Ngai mpe yo, mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele penza. »
3 Then Abram fell facedown, and God talked with him, saying,
Abrami afukamaki elongi kino na mabele, mpe Nzambe alobaki na ye lisusu:
4 "As for me, look, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
« Mpo na Ngai, tala boyokani oyo nazali kosala elongo na yo: ‹ Okozala tata ya bikolo ebele.
5 Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.
Bakobenga yo lisusu Abrami te; kombo na yo ekokoma Abrayami, pamba te nakokomisa yo tata ya bikolo ebele.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
Nakopesa yo mabota ebele, nakobimisa bikolo mpe bakonzi na nzela na yo.
7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.
Nakobatela boyokani na Ngai lokola boyokani ya libela na libela kati na Ngai mpe yo, mpe elongo na bakitani na yo sima na yo, mpo na milongo oyo ekoya na sima, mpo ete nazala Nzambe na yo mpe Nzambe ya bakitani na yo sima na yo.
8 I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God."
Nakopesa lokola libula ya seko na seko, epai na yo mpe epai ya bakitani na yo sima na yo, mokili nyonso ya Kanana epai wapi ozali mopaya. Nakozala Nzambe ya bakitani na yo. › »
9 God said to Abraham, "As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Abrayami: « Kasi mpo na yo, osengeli kobatela boyokani na Ngai, yo elongo na bakitani na yo sima na yo mpo na milongo oyo ekoya sima.
10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
Tala boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo mpe bakitani na yo sima na yo, boyokani oyo osengeli kobatela: Mwana mobali nyonso kati na bino asengeli kokatama ngenga.
11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
Kokatama ngenga ekozala elembo ya boyokani kati na bino mpe Ngai.
12 He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your descendants.
Mpo na milongo nyonso oyo ekoya, mwana mobali nyonso kati na bino, oyo akokisi mikolo mwambe asengeli kokatama ngenga: ezala mwana mobali oyo abotami kati na ndako na yo to mwana mobali oyo osombi na mosolo na yo epai ya mopaya, mwana mobali oyo azali mokitani na yo te, ye mpe asengeli kokatama ngenga.
13 He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Mowumbu nyonso oyo abotami kati na ndako na yo to oyo osombi na mosolo na yo asengeli kokatama ngenga. Boyokani na Ngai ekozala kati na banzoto na bino lokola boyokani ya libela na libela.
14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that person shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."
Mwana mobali nyonso oyo akokatama ngenga te, bakolongola ye kati na bato na ye, mpo ete abebisi boyokani na Ngai. »
15 God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.
Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Abrayami: « Mpo na Sarayi, mwasi na yo, okobenga ye lisusu te Sarayi, kasi okokoma kobenga ye Sara.
16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. And I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."
Nakopambola ye mpe nakopesa yo penza mwana mobali na nzela na ye; nakopambola ye mpo ete akoma mama ya bikolo. Bakonzi ya bikolo bakobima na nzela na ye. »
17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"
Abrayami afukamaki elongi kino na mabele, asekaki mpe amilobelaki: « Eh! Mobali oyo azali na mibu nkama moko ya mbotama akoki lisusu kobota mwana! Bongo Sara, mwasi oyo azali na mibu tuku libwa ya mbotama, akoki penza kokumba zemi! »
18 Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you."
Boye Abrayami alobaki na Nzambe: — Tika ete Isimaeli awumela na se ya lipamboli na Yo!
19 And God said, "Truly, Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him.
Nzambe alobaki: — Te! Mwasi na yo, Sara, akobotela yo mwana mobali, mpe okobenga ye « Izaki. » Nakobatela boyokani na Ngai lokola boyokani ya libela elongo na ye mpe bakitani na ye sima na ye.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Look, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
Kasi mpo na Isimaeli, nayoki yo. Solo, nakopambola ye, nakopesa ye mabota ebele mpe nakokomisa bakitani na ye ebele. Akozala tata ya bakambi zomi na mibale, mpe nakokomisa ye tata ya ekolo monene.
21 But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."
Kasi na oyo etali boyokani na Ngai, nakosala yango elongo na Izaki, mwana mobali oyo Sara akobotela yo na eleko oyo, na mobu oyo ezali koya.
22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
Tango Nzambe asilisaki kosolola na Abrayami, akendeki.
23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.
Kaka na mokolo wana, Abrayami azwaki mwana na ye ya mobali, Isimaeli, mpe bawumbu nyonso, ezala ba-oyo babotamaki na ndako na ye to ba-oyo asombaki na mosolo, akatisaki bango nyonso ngenga ndenge kaka Nzambe alobaki na ye.
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Abrayami azalaki na mibu tuku libwa na libwa ya mbotama tango akatamaki ngenga;
25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
mpe Isimaeli, mwana na ye ya mobali, azalaki na mibu zomi na misato tango akatamaki ngenga.
26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
Abrayami mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Isimaeli, bakatamaki ngenga mokolo moko.
27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
Mibali nyonso kati na ndako ya Abrayami, ezala ba-oyo babotamaki na ndako na ye to ba-oyo asombaki na mokili ya bapaya, bakatamaki ngenga elongo na ye.
