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.
Nang siyamnapu't-siyam na taong gulang na si Abram, nagpakita si Yahweh sa kanya at sinabing, “Ako ang Diyos na makapangyarihan. Lumakad ka sa akin at mamuhay ka nang matuwid.
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]
Pagkatapos pagtitibayin ko ang aking tipan sa pagitan natin, at lubos kitang pararamihin.”
3 Abram prostrated himself with his face on the ground. Then God said to him,
Nagpatirapa si Abram na nakasayad ang mukha sa lupa at nangusap ang Diyos sa kanya, sinabing,
4 “Listen to this agreement that I am making with you: People of many nations will be your descendants.
“Para sa akin, masdan mo, ang aking tipan ay sumasaiyo. Ikaw ay magiging ama ng napakamaraming bansa.
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.
Ang pangalan mo ay magiging Abraham, at hindi na Abram—dahil itinalaga kita na maging ama ng napakamaraming bansa.
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.
Pamumungahin kita nang lubos, at magmumula sa iyo ang maraming bansa, at ang mga magiging hari ay magmumula rin sayo.
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.
Magtatatag ako ng tipan sa pagitan natin at sa iyong mga magiging kaapu-apuhan, hanggang sa kanilang buong salinlahi, para sa isang walang hanggang tipan, na ako ang magiging Diyos mo at ng mga susunod mong mga kaapu-apuhan.
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].”
Ibibigay ko sayo at sa mga susunod mong kaapu-apuhan, ang lupain kung saan ka naninirahan, lahat ng lupain sa Canaan, para sa walang hanggang pag-aari at ako ang magiging Diyos nila.”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng Diyos kay Abraham, “Para sayo, dapat mong ingatan ang aking tipan, ikaw at ang susunod mong kaapu-apuhan hanggang sa kanilang buong salinlahi.
10 This is the agreement that I am making, between myself and you and all your descendants: Every male among you must be circumcised.
Ito ang aking tipan sa pagitan ko at sa pagitan mo at sa susunod mong mga kaapu-apuhan na dapat mong ingatan: Lahat ng lalaki sa inyo ay dapat matuli.
11 (Cutting the foreskins of/Circumcising) them will be the sign [that you have accepted] the agreement I am making with you.
Dapat kayong matuli sa laman ng iyong balat, at ito ang magiging palatandaan ng tipan sa pagitan ko at pagitan mo.
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.
Bawat lalaki sa inyo ay dapat na matuli pagsapit ng ikawalong araw na gulang, maging sa mga susunod ninyong salinlahi. Kasama rito ang mga ipinanganak sa iyong sambahayan, pati na ang nabili ng salapi mula sa mga dayuhan na hindi kasama sa iyong mga kaapu-apuhan.
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.
Siya na ipinanganak sa iyong sambahayan, at nabili ng iyong salapi ay dapat matuli. Sa gayon ang aking tipan ay mapapasaiyong laman para sa walang hanggang tipan.
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.”
Sinuman sa mga hindi tuli ang hindi tinuli sa laman ng kaniyang balat ay ihihiwalay mula sa kanyang sambayahan. Sinira niya ang aking tipan.
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.
Sinabi ng Diyos kay Abraham, “Tungkol naman kay Sarai na iyong asawa, hindi na Sarai ang itatawag mo sa kanya. Sa halip, Sarah ang kanyang magiging pangalan.
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.”
Pagpapalain ko siya at bibigyan kita ng anak na lalaki sa pamamagitan niya. Pagpapalain ko siya, at siya ang magiging ina ng mga bansa. Ang mga hari ng mga tao ay magmumula sa kanya.”
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?”
Pagkatapos nagpatirapa si Abraham na nakasayad ang mukha, at tumawa, at sinabi sa kanyang puso, “Maaari bang magkaanak ang isang taong isandaang taong gulang na? At magkakaanak pa ba si Sarah, gayong siyamnapung taong gulang na siya?
18 Then Abraham said to God, “Perhaps you will let Ishmael receive your blessing [and inherit all I possess].”
Sinabi pa ni Abraham sa Diyos, “Nawa mabuhay si Ismael sa iyong harapan!”
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.
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Hindi, si Sarah na iyong asawa ay magdadalang-tao ng anak na lalaki, at pangalanan mo siyang Isaac. Magtatatag ako ng tipan sa kanya, bilang walang hanggang tipan sa mga susunod niyang mga magiging kaapu-apuhan.
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.
Tungkol naman kay Ismael, narinig kita. Pagmasdan mo, pinagpapala ko siya ngayon at pamumungahin ko siya, at pararamihin ko siya nang masagana. Siya ay magiging ama ng labindalawang mga pinuno ng mga lipi, at gagawin ko siyang isang malaking bansa.
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.”
Pero itatatag ko ang aking tipan kay Isaac, na siyang isisilang ni Sarah sa ganitong oras sa susunod na taon.”
22 When God finished talking to Abraham, God disappeared from his sight.
Nang siya ay tapos ng makipag-usap sa kanya, umakyat ang Diyos mula kay Abraham.
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.
Pagkatapos, kinuha ni Abraham ang kanyang anak na si Ismael at lahat ng ipinanganak sa kanyang sambahayan, at lahat ng mga nabili niya sa kanyang salapi, bawat lalaki na kabilang sa mga tauhan ng sambahayan ni Abraham, at tinuli sa laman ng kanilang balat sa parehong araw, gaya ng sinabi ng Diyos sa kanya.
24 Abraham was 99 years old when (he was circumcised/someone circumcised him),
Natuli si Abraham sa laman ng kanyang balat nang siya ay siyamnapu't-siyam na taong gulang.
25 and Ishmael was thirteen years old when Abraham circumcised him.
At natuli si Ismael sa laman ng kanyang balat nang siya ay labing tatlong taong gulang.
26 On that very day Abraham and his son, Ishmael were circumcised.
Sa magkaparehong araw, parehong natuli si Abraham at si Ismael na kanyang anak.
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.
Lahat ng lalaki sa kanyang sambahayan ay natuli rin kasama niya, pati na ang mga ipinanganak sa sambahayan, at ang mga nabili ng salapi mula sa dayuhan.
