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:
Ibulaamu bwe yaweza emyaka kyenda mu mwenda, Mukama n’amulabikira, n’amugamba nti, “Ndi Katonda Ayinzabyonna, tambulira mu maaso gange obe nga toliiko kya kunenyezebwa.
2 That I may set my covenant betwixt me and thee, And may multiply thee, exceedingly.
Ndikola endagaano yange naawe era ndikwaliza ddala nnyo.”
3 And Abram fell on his face, —and God spake with him, saying:
Awo Ibulaamu n’avuunama; Katonda n’amugamba nti,
4 As for me, lo! my covenant is with thee, —So shalt thou become—father of a multitude of nations;
“Laba, ndikola naawe endagaano, era onoobeeranga kitaawe w’amawanga mangi.
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;
Erinnya lyo tokyayitibwa Ibulaamu, wabula onooyitibwanga Ibulayimu, kubanga nkufudde kitaawe w’amawanga mangi.
6 And I will make thee fruitful, exceedingly, and grant thee to be nations, —Yea kings, out of thee, shall come forth;
Ndikwaza nnyo nnyini; era ndikufuula amawanga, ne bakabaka baliva mu ggwe.
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;
Era ndituukiriza endagaano yange naawe, n’ezzadde lyo mbeere Katonda wo era Katonda w’ezzadde lyo eririddawo. Endagaano eno teriggwaawo emirembe n’emirembe.
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.
Era ndikuwa ggwe n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo ensi mw’obadde omusenze, ensi yonna eya Kanani, okuba eyiyo emirembe gyonna; era ndiba Katonda waabwe.”
9 And God said unto Abraham, But, as for thee, my covenant, must thou keep, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations: —
Awo Katonda n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Ggwe ky’olina okukola kwe kukwata endagaano yange, ggwe n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo emirembe gyabwe gyonna.
10 This, is my covenant which ye shall keep, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee, —To circumcise to you every male:
Eno y’endagaano yange naawe n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo, gy’onookuumanga: Buli musajja mu mmwe anaakomolebwanga.
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.
Munaakomolebwanga ekikuta eky’omubiri gwammwe, ekyo kibeere akabonero ak’endagaano yange naawe.
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,
Buli mwana owoobulenzi anaawezanga ennaku omunaana ez’obukulu mu mmwe mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna anaakomolebwanga,
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.
oyo azaaliddwa mu nnyumba yo oba gw’oguze n’ensimbi zo okuva ku munnaggwanga anaakomolebwanga. Endagaano yange eteriggwaawo eneebanga mu mubiri gwo.
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.
Omwana owoobulenzi yenna atali mukomole, atakomolebbwa kikuta kya mubiri gwe, taabalibwenga mu bantu be, aba amenye endagaano yange.”
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, —but, Sarah, is her name;
Katonda n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Era Salaayi mukazi wo, tokyamuyita Salaayi, erinnya lye linaabanga Saala.
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.
Ndimuwa omukisa, era ndikuwa omwana owoobulenzi mu ye. Ndimuwa omukisa, alibeera jjajja w’amawanga, bakabaka baamawanga baliva mu ye.”
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?
Awo Ibulayimu n’avuunama n’aseka, n’agamba munda ye nti, “Omwana alizaalirwa oyo eyaakamala emyaka ekikumi? Saala ow’emyaka ekyenda alizaala omwana?”
18 And Abraham said unto God, —Oh that, Ishmael, might live before thee!
Ibulayimu n’agamba Katonda nti, “Isimayiri abeerenga mulamu mu maaso go!”
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.
Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Nedda, naye Saala mukazi wo alikuzaalira omwana owoobulenzi, olimutuuma erinnya Isaaka. Ndinyweza endagaano yange naye okuba endagaano etaliggwaawo ku zadde lye eririddawo.
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;
Ku Isimayiri nkuwulidde: Laba, ndimuwa omukisa, alyeyongera, ndimwaliza ddala nnyo, aliba jjajja w’abalangira kkumi na babiri, era ndimufuula eggwanga ery’amaanyi.
21 But my covenant, will I establish with Isaac, —whom Sarah shall bear, to thee, by this set time, in the next year.
Kyokka ndinyweza endagaano yange ne Isaaka, Saala gw’alikuzaalira mu kiseera nga kino omwaka ogujja.”
22 And he left off speaking with him, —and God went up from Abraham.
Katonda bwe yamala okwogera naye, Ibulayimu n’ava we yali.
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.
Awo Ibulayimu n’atwala Isimayiri mutabani we n’abaddu bonna abaazaalirwa mu nnyumba ye n’abo abaagulibwa n’ensimbi ze, buli musajja yenna mu nnyumba ya Ibulayimu n’akomolwa buli omu ekikuta ky’omubiri gwe ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, nga Katonda bwe yamugamba.
24 Now Abraham, was ninety-nine years old, —when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ibulayimu yali aweza emyaka kyenda mu mwenda bwe yakomolebwa ekikuta ky’omubiri gwe.
25 And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ne Isimayiri mutabani we yali wa myaka kkumi n’esatu bwe yakomolebwa ekikuta ky’omubiri gwe.
26 On this selfsame day, was Abraham circumcised, —and Ishmael his son;
Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Ibulayimu ne mutabani we Isimayiri lwe baakomolebwa.
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.
N’abasajja bonna mu nnyumba y’abo abazaalirwamu n’abo abaagulibwa n’ensimbi ze okuva eri munnaggwanga, baakomolebwa wamu naye.
