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;
Tango Abrami akokisaki mibu tuku libwa na libwa ya mbotama, Yawe abimelaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: « Nazali Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso. Tambola liboso na Ngai mpe zala moto azanga pamela.
2 and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'
Nakosala boyokani kati na Ngai mpe yo, mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele penza. »
3 And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,
Abrami afukamaki elongi kino na mabele, mpe Nzambe alobaki na ye lisusu:
4 'I — lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;
« Mpo na Ngai, tala boyokani oyo nazali kosala elongo na yo: ‹ Okozala tata ya bikolo ebele.
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;
Bakobenga yo lisusu Abrami te; kombo na yo ekokoma Abrayami, pamba te nakokomisa yo tata ya bikolo ebele.
6 and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.
Nakopesa yo mabota ebele, nakobimisa bikolo mpe bakonzi na nzela na yo.
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;
Nakobatela boyokani na Ngai lokola boyokani ya libela na libela kati na Ngai mpe yo, mpe elongo na bakitani na yo sima na yo, mpo na milongo oyo ekoya na sima, mpo ete nazala Nzambe na yo mpe Nzambe ya bakitani na yo sima na yo.
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.'
Nakopesa lokola libula ya seko na seko, epai na yo mpe epai ya bakitani na yo sima na yo, mokili nyonso ya Kanana epai wapi ozali mopaya. Nakozala Nzambe ya bakitani na yo. › »
9 And God saith unto Abraham, 'And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;
Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Abrayami: « Kasi mpo na yo, osengeli kobatela boyokani na Ngai, yo elongo na bakitani na yo sima na yo mpo na milongo oyo ekoya sima.
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;
Tala boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo mpe bakitani na yo sima na yo, boyokani oyo osengeli kobatela: Mwana mobali nyonso kati na bino asengeli kokatama ngenga.
11 and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
Kokatama ngenga ekozala elembo ya boyokani kati na bino mpe Ngai.
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;
Mpo na milongo nyonso oyo ekoya, mwana mobali nyonso kati na bino, oyo akokisi mikolo mwambe asengeli kokatama ngenga: ezala mwana mobali oyo abotami kati na ndako na yo to mwana mobali oyo osombi na mosolo na yo epai ya mopaya, mwana mobali oyo azali mokitani na yo te, ye mpe asengeli kokatama ngenga.
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;
Mowumbu nyonso oyo abotami kati na ndako na yo to oyo osombi na mosolo na yo asengeli kokatama ngenga. Boyokani na Ngai ekozala kati na banzoto na bino lokola boyokani ya libela na libela.
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.'
Mwana mobali nyonso oyo akokatama ngenga te, bakolongola ye kati na bato na ye, mpo ete abebisi boyokani na Ngai. »
15 And God saith unto Abraham, 'Sarai thy wife — thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Abrayami: « Mpo na Sarayi, mwasi na yo, okobenga ye lisusu te Sarayi, kasi okokoma kobenga ye Sara.
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.'
Nakopambola ye mpe nakopesa yo penza mwana mobali na nzela na ye; nakopambola ye mpo ete akoma mama ya bikolo. Bakonzi ya bikolo bakobima na nzela na ye. »
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?'
Abrayami afukamaki elongi kino na mabele, asekaki mpe amilobelaki: « Eh! Mobali oyo azali na mibu nkama moko ya mbotama akoki lisusu kobota mwana! Bongo Sara, mwasi oyo azali na mibu tuku libwa ya mbotama, akoki penza kokumba zemi! »
18 And Abraham saith unto God, 'O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'
Boye Abrayami alobaki na Nzambe: — Tika ete Isimaeli awumela na se ya lipamboli na Yo!
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.
Nzambe alobaki: — Te! Mwasi na yo, Sara, akobotela yo mwana mobali, mpe okobenga ye « Izaki. » Nakobatela boyokani na Ngai lokola boyokani ya libela elongo na ye mpe bakitani na ye sima na ye.
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;
Kasi mpo na Isimaeli, nayoki yo. Solo, nakopambola ye, nakopesa ye mabota ebele mpe nakokomisa bakitani na ye ebele. Akozala tata ya bakambi zomi na mibale, mpe nakokomisa ye tata ya ekolo monene.
21 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'
Kasi na oyo etali boyokani na Ngai, nakosala yango elongo na Izaki, mwana mobali oyo Sara akobotela yo na eleko oyo, na mobu oyo ezali koya.
22 and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.
Tango Nzambe asilisaki kosolola na Abrayami, akendeki.
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.
Kaka na mokolo wana, Abrayami azwaki mwana na ye ya mobali, Isimaeli, mpe bawumbu nyonso, ezala ba-oyo babotamaki na ndako na ye to ba-oyo asombaki na mosolo, akatisaki bango nyonso ngenga ndenge kaka Nzambe alobaki na ye.
24 And Abraham [is] a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
Abrayami azalaki na mibu tuku libwa na libwa ya mbotama tango akatamaki ngenga;
25 and Ishmael his son [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
mpe Isimaeli, mwana na ye ya mobali, azalaki na mibu zomi na misato tango akatamaki ngenga.
26 in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
Abrayami mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Isimaeli, bakatamaki ngenga mokolo moko.
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.
Mibali nyonso kati na ndako ya Abrayami, ezala ba-oyo babotamaki na ndako na ye to ba-oyo asombaki na mokili ya bapaya, bakatamaki ngenga elongo na ye.
