< 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:
Ní ìgbà tí Abramu di ẹni ọ̀kàndínlọ́gọ́rùn-ún ọdún, Olúwa farahàn án, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Ọlọ́run alágbára, máa rìn níwájú mi, kí o sì jẹ́ aláìlábùkù.
2 That I may set my covenant betwixt me and thee, And may multiply thee, exceedingly.
Èmi yóò sì fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ. Èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di púpọ̀ gidigidi.”
3 And Abram fell on his face, —and God spake with him, saying:
Abramu sì dojúbolẹ̀, Ọlọ́run sì wí fún un pé.
4 As for me, lo! my covenant is with thee, —So shalt thou become—father of a multitude of nations;
“Ní ti èmi, májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ nìyí. Ìwọ yóò di baba orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀.
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;
A kì yóò pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Abramu mọ́, bí kò ṣe Abrahamu, nítorí, mo ti sọ ọ́ di baba orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀.
6 And I will make thee fruitful, exceedingly, and grant thee to be nations, —Yea kings, out of thee, shall come forth;
Èmi yóò mú ọ bí si lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, ọ̀pọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè ni èmi yóò sì mú ti ara rẹ jáde wá, àwọn ọba pẹ̀lú yóò sì ti inú rẹ jáde.
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;
Èmi yóò sì gbé májẹ̀mú mi kalẹ̀ láàrín tèmi tìrẹ, ní májẹ̀mú ayérayé àti láàrín irú-ọmọ rẹ ní ìran-ìran wọn, láti máa ṣe Ọlọ́run rẹ àti ti irú-ọmọ rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
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.
Gbogbo ilẹ̀ Kenaani níbi tí ìwọ ti ṣe àjèjì ni èmi yóò fi fún ọ àti fún irú-ọmọ rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ láéláé. Èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn.”
9 And God said unto Abraham, But, as for thee, my covenant, must thou keep, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations: —
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Ìwọ máa pa májẹ̀mú mi mọ́, ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ àti àwọn ìran tí ó ń bọ̀.
10 This, is my covenant which ye shall keep, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee, —To circumcise to you every male:
Èyí ni májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ àti ìran rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ, májẹ̀mú tí ẹ̀yin yóò máa pamọ́. Gbogbo ọkùnrin yín ni a gbọdọ̀ kọ ní ilà.
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.
Ẹ̀yin yóò kọ ara yín ní ilà, èyí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì májẹ̀mú láàrín tèmi tiyín.
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,
Ní gbogbo ìran tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn, gbogbo ọkùnrin ni a gbọdọ̀ kọ ni ilà ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ tí a bí wọn, àti àwọn tí a bí ní ilé rẹ, tàbí tí a fi owó rà lọ́wọ́ àwọn àjèjì, àwọn tí kì í ṣe ọmọ rẹ̀. Èyí yóò sì jẹ́ májẹ̀mú láéláé tí yóò wà láàrín Èmi àti irú-ọmọ rẹ.
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.
Ìbá à ṣe ẹni tí a bí nínú ilé rẹ, tàbí ẹni tí o fi owó rà, a gbọdọ̀ kọ wọ́n ní ilà; májẹ̀mú mí lára yín yóò jẹ́ májẹ̀mú ayérayé.
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.
Gbogbo ọmọkùnrin tí kò bá kọ ilà, tí a kò kọ ní ilà abẹ́, ni a ó gé kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, nítorí pé ó da májẹ̀mú mi.”
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, —but, Sarah, is her name;
Ọlọ́run wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Ní ti Sarai, aya rẹ̀, ìwọ kì yóò pè é ní Sarai mọ́, bí kò ṣe Sara.
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.
Èmi yóò bùkún fún un, èmi yóò sì fun ọ ní ọmọkùnrin kan nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀. Èmi yóò bùkún un, yóò sì di ìyá àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, àwọn ọba àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò sì ti ara rẹ̀ jáde wá.”
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?
Abrahamu sì dojúbolẹ̀, ó rẹ́rìn-ín, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “A ó ha bí ọmọ fún ẹni ọgọ́rùn-ún ọdún? Sara tí í ṣe ẹni àádọ́rùn-ún ọdún yóò ha bímọ bí?”
18 And Abraham said unto God, —Oh that, Ishmael, might live before thee!
Abrahamu sì wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Sá à jẹ́ kí Iṣmaeli kí ó wà láààyè lábẹ́ ìbùkún rẹ.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Mo gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n Sara aya rẹ̀ yóò bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún ọ, ìwọ yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Isaaki, èmi yóò fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ní májẹ̀mú ayérayé àti àwọn irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.
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;
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti Iṣmaeli, mo gbọ́ ohun tí ìwọ wí, èmi yóò bùkún fún un nítòótọ́, èmi ó sì mú un bí sí i, yóò sì pọ̀ sí i, òun yóò sì jẹ́ baba fún àwọn ọmọ ọba méjìlá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá.
21 But my covenant, will I establish with Isaac, —whom Sarah shall bear, to thee, by this set time, in the next year.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Isaaki, ẹni tí Sara yóò bí fún ọ ni ìwòyí àmọ́dún.”
22 And he left off speaking with him, —and God went up from Abraham.
Nígbà tí ó ti bá Abrahamu sọ̀rọ̀ tán, Ọlọ́run sì gòkè lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni Abrahamu mú Iṣmaeli ọmọ rẹ̀ àti àwọn ẹrú tí a bí ní ilé rẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ó fi owó rà, ó sì kọ wọ́n ní ilà. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì kọ gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ń bẹ ní ilé rẹ̀ ní ilà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Ọlọ́run.
24 Now Abraham, was ninety-nine years old, —when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Abrahamu jẹ́ ẹni ọ̀kàndínlọ́gọ́rùn-ún ọdún nígbà tí a kọ ọ́ ní ilà.
25 And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Iṣmaeli ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́tàlá.
26 On this selfsame day, was Abraham circumcised, —and Ishmael his son;
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni a kọ Abrahamu ní ilà pẹ̀lú Iṣmaeli ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin.
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.
Àti gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ó wà ní ilé Abrahamu, ìbá à ṣe èyí tí a bí ní ilé rẹ̀ tàbí èyí tí a fi owó rà lọ́wọ́ àlejò ni a kọ ní ilà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
