< 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.
I KE kanaiwakumamaiwa o na makahiki o Aberama, ikea mai la o Iehova e Aberama, i mai la ia ia, Owau no ke Akua mana; e hele oe imua o ko'u alo, a e hemolele oe.
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]
A e hoopaa auanei au i kau berita mawaena o'u a ou; a e hoomahuahua aku au ia oe a nui loa.
3 Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,
Moe iho la o Aberama ilalo kona alo: a kamailio mai la ke Akua me ia, i mai la,
4 “Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.
Owau no, ea, aia hoi me oe ka'u berita, a e lilo auanei oe i kupuna no na lahuikanaka he nui loa.
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.
Aole oe e hea hou ia, o Aberama, aka, o Aberahama kou inoa: no ka mea, ua hoolilo aku no au ia oe i kupuna no na lahuikanaka he nui loa.
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.
A e hoolilo no wau ia oe i mea hoohua nui loa, e hoopuka auanei au i na lahuikanaka mailoko aku ou, a e puka mai no hoi na alii nui mailoko aku ou.
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.
A e hoopaa no hoi au i ka'u berita mawaena o'u a ou, a me kau poe mamo mahope ou ma na hanauna o lakou, i berita mau loa, i Akua no au nou, a no kau poe mamo mahope ou.
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].”
A e haawi aku no au i ka aina au e noho malihini nei, i ka aina a pau o Kanaana, nou, a no kau poe mamo mahope ou, i wahi e noho mau ai: a owau hoi ko lakou Akua.
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.
Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, Nolaila, e malama oe i ka'u berita, o oe a me kau poe mamo mahope ou, ma na hanauna o lakou.
10 This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.
Eia ka'u berita e malama ai oukou mawaena o'u a o oukou, a me kau poe mamo mahope ou; E okipoepoeia na keikikane a pau o oukou.
11 (Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.
E okipoepoe oukou i ka io o ko oukou omaka; o ka hoailona ia o ka berita mawaena o'u a o oukou.
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.
I ka poawalu o kona ola ana, e okipoepoeia na keikikane a pau o na hanauna o oukou; o ka mea i hanau ma kou wahi, a me ka mea i kuaiia i ke kala na ke kanaka e mai, ka mea aole nau i hua mai.
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.
O ka mea i hanau ma kou wahi, a me ka mea i kuaiia i kou kala, he pono no e okipoepoeia oia: a e pili auanei ka'u berita ma ko oukou io i berita mau loa.
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.”
A o ke keikikane okipoepoe ole ia, ke okipoepoe ole ia ka io o kona omaka, e hookiia'ku ia kanaka mai kona hanauna aku; ua haihai oia i ka'u berita.
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.
Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Aberahama, A o Sarai o kau wahine, aole oe e kahea hou aku i kona inoa, o Sarai, e kapaia oia, o Sara.
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.”
E hoopomaikai aku hoi au ia ia, a e haawi aku hoi au ia oe, i keikikane nana mai: oia, e hoopomaikai no au la ia, nana mai na lahuikanaka; a nana mai no hoi na alii o kanaka.
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?”
Alaila, moe iho la o Aberahama ilalo kona maka, akaaka iho la, a i iho la iloko o kona naau, E hanauia anei ke keiki na ka mea nona na makahiki he haneri? E hanau mai no anei o Sara, nona na makahiki he kanaiwa?
18 Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”
I aku la o Aberahama i ke Akua, Ina no o Isemaela e ola imua ou!
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.
I mai la ke Akua, He oiaio, na Sara e hanau ke keikikane nau, a e kapa aku oe i kona inoa o Isaaka: a e hoopaa auanei au i ka'u berita me ia, a me kana poe mamo mahope ona, i berita mau loa.
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.
A o Isemaela, ua hoolohe hoi au ia oe nona: Aia hoi, na hoopomaikai no au ia ia, a e hoohua auanei au i na keiki nana, a e hoomahuahua no hoi au ia ia; e hanau nana na alii he umikumamalua, a e hoolilo hoi au ia ia i Iahuikanaka nui.
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.”
Aka, e hoopaa auanei au i kuu berita ia Isaaka, i ka mea a Sara e hanau mai ai nau, i keia manawa o kela makahiki aku.
22 When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.
A oki iho la kana kamailio ana me ia, hoi aku la ke Akua iluna mai o Aberahama aku.
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.
Lalau aku la o Aberahama i kana keiki ia Isemaela, a me na mea a pau i hanau ma kona hale, a me na mea a pau i kuaiia i kana kala, i na kane a pau o ko Aberahama mau ohua; a okipoepoe iho la i ka io o ko lakou omaka ia la hookahi no, e like me, ka ke Akua i olelo mai ai ia ia.
24 Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),
He kanaiwa na makahiki a me kumamaiwa o ko Aberahama ola ana, ia ia i okipoepoeia'i ma ka io o kona omaka.
25 and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.
He umikumamakolu na makahiki o Isemaela, ia ia i okipoepoeia'i ma ka io o kona omaka.
26 On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.
Ia la hookahi no, i okipoepoeia'i o Aberahama, a me kana keiki o Isemaela.
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.
Ua okipoepoe pu ia me ia na kanaka a pau o kona mau ohua, i hanau ma kona hale, a i kuaiia i kona kala na ke kanaka e mai.
