Genesis 17
1 When Abram was 99 years old, Yahweh appeared to him again and said to him, “I am God Almighty. I want you to live in a way that I will regard you as someone that cannot be criticized.
Abram chu kum somko le kumko alhin in Pathen in ahoulimpi in hitin aseipeh e, “Keima Elshaddai Pathen chungnung kahi. Hijeh chun lunglhaisel in nei hou jing in lang, chule thenna hinkho mang jing in,” ati.
2 If you do that, I will make an agreement with you in which I will promise to enable you to have very many descendants.” [MTY]
Keiman nangma to ikikah a kitepna nape ing ka-ting hichu thonlou hela nangma chilhah simsen lou kapeh ding nahi.
3 Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,
Hichun Abram in amai tol lang aven hichun Pathen in ahin hou vin hitin aseiye,
4 “Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.
Hiche hi keima le nangma kinop tona ahi, keiman nangma hi nam jouse mipa kaso ding nahi ati.
5 And no longer will your name be Abram. Instead, your name will be Abraham, [which means ‘father of many nations,’] because the people of many nations will descend from you.
Abanna jong na min jong kakhel peh ding, Abram nahi tahlou ding, Hinlah nangma hi Abraham na kiti ding ahi tai, ajeh chu nangma hi nam jouse mipa nahi ding ahi tai.
6 I will enable you to have very many descendants, and I will cause them to become great nations/people-groups, and some of your descendants will become kings.
Keiman nangma hatah a kaga sah ding, na lolhin ding na chilhah ten nam tamtah ahin sondoh diu, chule leng thupitah tah jong amaho lah a hung umdoh ding ahiye.
7 I will make this agreement between me and you and your descendants. It will be an everlasting agreement to be in effect for many generations. This agreement is that I will be your God, and the God of your descendants.
Keiman athah a nangma to iki noptona chu na chilhahte to kaki tepna avela ka phudoh kit ding nangma nunga na chilhahte a dinga jong, khang le khang kikah ajong, hiche hi atonsot'a hiding, keima na Pathen nu kahi jing ding chule nanam, na chilhahte Pathen jong kahi jing ding ahi.
8 I will give to you and to your descendants the land through which you are now traveling, all of the Canaan region. It will be an everlasting possession for your descendants, and I will be the God that they [will worship].”
Keiman Canaan gam pumpi ahin, tua nachen na gam kholjin banga nachen nau hi nason na chilhahte atonsot a goulo dinga ka peh ding, chule amaho dinga jong a Pathen'u kahi jing ding ahi,” ati.
9 Then God said to Abraham, “Now you must obey [your part of] the agreement that I am making with you, and your descendants must also obey it, for all generations.
Hichun Pathen in Abraham ahoulimpi in, “Nangma tah in jong kinopto na hi na jui ding, chule na nunga nason na chilhahte dinga jong akhang lhum kei uva ajui ding'u ahi.
10 This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.
Hiche hi ahi kinopto na nangma le na chilhahte jousen ajui cheh ding, nangho lah a pasal jousen chep akitan soh kei ding'u ahi.
11 (Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.
Nangman na bollou a hitheilou chu na tahsa vun val abohlai chu na chelhah soh kei ding, hichun avetsah chu ahile keima le nangma kikah a ki nopto na hijing ding ahi.
12 Every male child among you must be circumcised when he is eight days old, in all future generations. That includes baby boys in your household or those born from slaves that have been bought, and baby boys of foreigners who live among you but do not belong to your household.
Hiche hi nangma insung mite seh hilou vin, koi tobang nasoh na kol nangma insunga dinga na choh doh ho jouse jong ahop tha cheh ding,
13 It does not matter whether their parents are members of your household or slaves that have been bought; they must all be circumcised. Your bodies will have this mark to show [you have accepted] this everlasting agreement I am making.
Abonchauva chep na kitan cheh diu, na tahsa uva maha na poh u-chu keima toh atonsot na iki nopto na'uva umjing ding ahiye.
14 You must expel from your community any male who has not been circumcised, because [by not being circumcised] that person has disobeyed my agreement.”
Koi tobang pasal khat tou hiche kinopto na cheptan hi bol lou aumle ama chu kinopto na insunga kon'a paimanga um ding ahi, ajeh chu kinopto na ajuilou jeh ahi.
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai, your wife, you must not call her Sarai any longer. [Since I changed your name, I will change her name also]. Her name will now be Sarah.
Hichun Pathen in Abraham ahoulimpi in “Sarai na Inneipi Sarai na ti tahlou ding ahi, ijeh inem itile amanu min jong hi tua patna Sarah hiding ahi tai.
16 I will bless her, and she will surely give birth to a son for you. And I will bless her so much that she will be the ancestor of people of many nations. Kings of some people-groups will be descended from her.”
Keiman amanu hi phatthei kaboh a chu jongle ama nu akon a hi chapa khat kapeh ding nahi, hitia chu keiman amanu hi phatthei kaboh a ama jong “Sarah” chitin namtin nu hung hi ding mitin vaipi leng ding ho jeng jong amanu akona hung peng doh ding ahiuve,” ati.
17 Abraham prostrated himself with his face on the ground [to show respect to God]. But then he laughed as he said to himself, “Can a man who is a 100 years old become a father of a son? And since Sarah is 90 years old, how can she bear a child?”
Hichun Abraham jong akun in tol lang aven anui tai, chuin alungthim in amale ama akihou vin, Keima hi kum jakhat kahi nunga mipa kahi thei ding ham? Chule ka inneipi Sarah jong kum som ko le kum ko ahi jouva naosen iti anei thei ding ham? ati.
18 Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”
Abraham'in Pathen heng'a asei in, “Ahi thei ding le Ishmael hi nangma phattheibohna noiya um jing tahen.”
19 Then God replied, “[No!] Your wife Sarah will bear a son for you. You must name him Isaac. I will establish my agreement with him, one which will be an everlasting agreement for him and his descendants.
Hinlah Pathen in adonbut in, “ahipoi Sarah na inneipi in nangma adinga chapa khat nahin peh ding, nangman hiche chapang chu amin Isaac nasah ding ahi. Chule keiman amale ama nunga ason achilhahte dinga kinopto na chu atonsot geiya kinopto na a umjing dinga kaphu doh ding ahi.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard what you asked me to do for him. I will bless him so that he also will have many descendants. Among his descendants will be rulers of twelve nations. And I will cause his [descendants] [MTY] to also become a great nation.
Ishmael jong chu phatthei kaboh ding nangman nathum ma bang'a, ama jeng jong hatah a kapun sah ding, chule ama chilhahte ho jong hatah a pung dingu ahi.
21 But Isaac, the son whom Sarah will give birth to at this time next year, is the one with whom I will establish my agreement.”
Hinlah keima kitepna vang chu Sarah in khovei tulai phat'a hi nahin ding Isaac chuto bou ka phudoh ding ahi,” ati.
22 When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.
Pathen in thu aseijou phat chun Abraham chu adalhatai.
23 On that same day, Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the males that were in his household, including the sons of all the slaves he had bought, and circumcised them. He cut off their foreskins, just as God told him to do.
Hichun Abraham'in jong achapa Ishmael ahin, asoh pasal ama insunga peng den hihen, sum a achoh tho hi jongle, Abraham mite lah a pasal jouse chu apuikhom in, Pathen'in aseipeh bang bang chun hiche nikho mama chun chep atan peh soh kei in ahi.
24 Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),
Abraham'in chep akitan chun akum kum som ko le kum ko ana lhing tai.
25 and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.
Chule achapa Ishmael in chep akitan chun kum som le kum thum ana lhing tan ahi.
26 On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.
Ani lhon in Abraham le achapa Ishmael chu nikhat na chep tan lhon gel ahi.
27 And all the males in his household, the ones who had been born there and those who had been bought from foreigners, were also circumcised.
Chule a insunga pasal jouse, insunga pengden hihen lang gam dang mi soh dinga akichoh tho hi jongle aboncha amatoh tha khat'a chep kitan thah cheh ahiuve.
