Genesis 17
1 And it came to pass that, when Abram was ninety and nine years old, Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said unto him, I, am GOD Almighty, —Walk, thou before me and become thou blameless:
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 That I may set my covenant betwixt me and thee, And may multiply thee, 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 fell on his face, —and God spake with him, saying:
Te dongah Abram loh a hmai la a bakop hatah Pathen loh,
4 As for me, lo! my covenant is with thee, —So shalt thou 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 thy name shall no more be called Abram, —but thy name shall become Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations, have I appointed thee;
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 will make thee fruitful, exceedingly, and grant thee to be nations, —Yea kings, out of thee, shall come forth;
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 will confirm my covenant betwixt me and thee and thy seed after thee to their generations for an age-abiding covenant, —to become to thee a God, and to thy seed after thee;
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 will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land of thy sojournings—all the land of Canaan, for an age-abiding possession—And I will be to them a 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 said unto Abraham, But, as for thee, my covenant, must thou keep, thou and thy seed after thee, to 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 ye shall keep, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee, —To circumcise to you every male:
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 So shall ye be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, —So shall it become a sign of a covenant, betwixt 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 he that is eight days old, shall be circumcised to you every male to your generations, —he that is born of the house, and he that is bought with silver of any son of a stranger, who is, not of thy 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 must surely be circumcised, born of thy house or bought with thy silver, —So shall my covenant be in your flesh for an age-abiding 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 But, as for the uncircumcised male who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, —that person shall be cut off from among his people, —my covenant, hath he made void.
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 said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, —but, 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 will bless her, yea moreover will give—from her—to thee, a son, —And I will bless her, and she shall become nations. Kings of peoples, from her, shall arise.
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 fell on his face and laughed, —and said in his heart To one a hundred years old, shall a child be born? And shall even Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?
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 said unto God, —Oh that, Ishmael, might live before thee!
Te dongah Abraham loh Pathen taengah, “Na hmai ah Ishmael mah hing mai koinih,” a ti nah.
19 And God said—Truly, Sarah thy wife, is about to bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name, Isaac, —and I will establish my covenant with him as an age-abiding 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 Yet as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo! I have blessed him and will make him fruitful, and multiply him, exceedingly, —twelve princes, shall he beget, and I will grant him to be 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 But my covenant, will I establish with Isaac, —whom Sarah shall bear, to thee, by this set 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 left off speaking with him, —and God went up from Abraham.
Anih taengah thui ham te a khah van neh Pathen khaw Abraham taeng lamkah nong.
23 So Abraham took Ishmael his son and all born of his house and all bought with his silver—every male among the men of the house of Abraham, —and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on this selfsame day, according to that which God had 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 Now Abraham, was ninety-nine years old, —when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Te dongah Abraham loh a yahhmui saa a rhet vaengah kum sawmko neh kum ko lo ca coeng.
25 And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
A capa Ishmael khaw kum hlai thum a lo ca vaengah a yahhmui saa te a rhet pah.
26 On this selfsame day, was Abraham circumcised, —and Ishmael his son;
Tekah khohnin van ah Abraham neh a capa Ishmael te yahhmui rhet pah la om.
27 and, all the men of his house, born of his house, and bought with silver from the son of a stranger, were 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.
