Genesis 17
1 And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, 'I [am] God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;
Abram kum sawmko neh kum ko a lo ca vaengah Abram taengla BOEIPA phoe tih, “Kai tah Tlungthang Pathen ni. Kai mikhmuh ah pongpa lamtah cuemthuek la om lah.
2 and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'
Ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah ka khueh vetih nang te muep muep kam ping sak ni,” a ti nah.
3 And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,
Te dongah Abram loh a hmai la a bakop hatah Pathen loh,
4 'I — lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;
“Kai khaw he, nang taengah ka paipi a om vanbangla namtom hlangping kah a napa la na om ni.
5 and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;
Nang he namtom hlangping kah a napa la kan khueh coeng dongah na ming khaw Abram la n'khue voel mahpawh. Tedae nang ming te Abraham la om pawn ni.
6 and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.
Nang te muep muep kan pungtai sak vetih namtom rhoek la kan khueh ni. Te vaengah nang taeng lamkah manghai rhoek ha thoeng ni.
7 'And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;
Te vaengah ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan, amih kah cadilcahma laklo ah kumhal paipi la ka thoh ni. Nang ham neh nang phoeikah na tiingan ham Pathen la ka om ni.
8 and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'
Te vaengah na lampahnah khohmuen Kanaan kho pum te kumhal khohut la nang neh nang phoeikah na tiingan taengah kam paek vetih amih taengah Pathen la ka om ni “a ti nah.
9 And God saith unto Abraham, 'And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham taengah, “Te dongah ka paipi he nang namah ham khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan ham khaw, amih kah cadilcahma ham khaw ngaithuen.
10 this [is] My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you [is] to be circumcised;
Ka paipi he kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah khaw, nang phoeikah na tiingan laklo ah ngaithuen vetih nangmih khuikah tongpa boeih te yahhmui rhet pah.
11 and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
Te dongah yahhmui na rhet vaengkah na yahhmui saa te kai laklo neh nang laklo kah paipi miknoek la om ni.
12 'And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed;
Te phoeiah nangmih khuikah neh na cadilcahma, im kah cahlah, neh namah tiingan lamkah pawt tih tangka neh na lai kholong ca boeih khuikah tongpa boeih loh hnin rhet a lo ca vaengah yahhmui rhet saeh.
13 he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;
Na im kah cahlah long khaw, na tangka neh na lai long khaw, yahhmui a rhet rhoela a rhet daengah ni ka paipi loh na pumsa dongah kumhal paipi la a om eh.
14 and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.'
Tedae amah kah yahhmui saa aka rhet mueh tongpa pumdul te tah ka paipi a kak sak dongah a pilnam khui lamkah tekah hinglu te khoe saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And God saith unto Abraham, 'Sarai thy wife — thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Abraham taengah, “Na yuu Sarai amah ming neh na khue mahpawh. Anih ming Sarah te Sarai yuengla om coeng.
16 and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations — kings of peoples are from her.'
Anih khaw yoethen ka paek vetih anih rhang neh nang ham capa khaw kan paek ni. Anih yoethen ka paek vetih namtom la coeng ni. Pilnam rhoek kah manghai rhoek khaw anih khui lamkah ha thoeng uh ni,” a ti nah.
17 And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, 'To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah — daughter of ninety years — bear?'
Te vaengah Abraham tah a maelhmai neh bakop tih a nueih doela a lungbuei khuiah, “Kum yakhat pa loh a sak vetih kum sawmko nu Sarah loh ca a cun koinih?” a ti.
18 And Abraham saith unto God, 'O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'
Te dongah Abraham loh Pathen taengah, “Na hmai ah Ishmael mah hing mai koinih,” a ti nah.
19 and God saith, 'Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.
Tedae Pathen loh, “Thuem ngawn dae na yuu Sarah loh nang ham capa han cun vetih a ming te Isaak na sui ni. Ka paipi khaw anih neh anih phoeikah a tiingan ham dungyan paipi la ka thoh ni.
20 As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;
Tedae Ishmael ham khaw ka yaak ngawn ne. Anih khaw yoethen ka paek vetih ka pungtai sak ni. Muep muep ka ping sak phoeiah khoboei hlai nit a sak vetih pilnu la ka khueh ni.
21 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'
Tedae ka paipi he Isaak taengah ni ka thoh eh. Anih te hmai kum kah tahae khoning vaengah Sarah loh nang hamla a cun ni,” a ti nah.
22 and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.
Anih taengah thui ham te a khah van neh Pathen khaw Abraham taeng lamkah nong.
23 And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money — every male among the men of Abraham's house — and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.
Te dongah Abraham loh a capa Ishmael khaw, a im kah cahlah boeih khaw, Abraham imkhui tongpa rhoek khuikah a tangka neh a lai tongpa boeih te a khuen tih Pathen loh a thui bangla amah khohnin van ah amih kah yahhmui saa te a rhet pah.
24 And Abraham [is] a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Te dongah Abraham loh a yahhmui saa a rhet vaengah kum sawmko neh kum ko lo ca coeng.
25 and Ishmael his son [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
A capa Ishmael khaw kum hlai thum a lo ca vaengah a yahhmui saa te a rhet pah.
26 in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
Tekah khohnin van ah Abraham neh a capa Ishmael te yahhmui rhet pah la om.
27 and all the men of his house — born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger — have been circumcised with him.
Te phoeiah a im kah hlang boeih, im kah cahlah neh kholong ca tangka neh a lai te khaw amah neh yahhmui a rhet uh.
