Farawa 17

1 Sa’ad da Abram ya yi shekaru 99, sai Ubangiji ya bayyana a gare shi ya ce, ni “Ni ne Allah Maɗaukaki, ka yi tafiya a gabana ka kuma zama marar abin zargi.

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him: 'I am God Almighty; walk before Me, and be thou wholehearted.

2 Zan tabbatar da alkawarina tsakanina da kai, zan kuma ƙara zuriyarka ta yi yawa.”

And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.'

3 Abram ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa, Allah kuma ya ce masa,

And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying:

4 “Gare ni kam, wannan shi ne alkawarina da kai, za ka zama mahaifin al’ummai masu yawa.

'As for Me, behold, My covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations.

5 Ba za a ƙara kiranka Abram ba; sunanka zai zama Ibrahim, gama na mai da kai uban al’ummai masu yawa.

Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

6 Zan sa ka azurta sosai, zan yi al’ummai daga cikinka, sarakuna kuma za su fito daga cikinka,

And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7 zan kafa alkawarina kamar madawwamin alkawari tsakanina da kai da kuma zuriyarka bayanka har tsararraki masu zuwa, in zama Allahnka da kuma Allahn zuriyarka a bayanka.

And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.

8 Dukan ƙasar Kan’ana inda kake baƙo a yanzu, zan ba da ita a matsayin madawwamiyar mallaka gare ka da kuma zuriyarka a bayanka, zan kuma zama Allahnsu.”

And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.'

9 Sa’an nan Allah ya ce wa Ibrahim. “Kai fa, sai ka kiyaye alkawarina, kai da zuriyarka bayanka, har tsararraki masu zuwa.

And God said unto Abraham: 'And as for thee, thou shalt keep My covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.

10 Wannan shi ne alkawarina da kai da kuma zuriyarka a bayanka, alkawarin da za ka kiyaye ke nan. Kowane namiji a cikinku kuwa za a yi masa kaciya.

This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.

11 Za ku yi kaciya, za tă kuma zama alamar alkawari tsakanina da kai.

And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt Me and you.

12 Daga yanzu duk namijin da aka haifa a cikinku za a yi masa kaciya a rana ta takwas har dukan zamananku, ko haifaffen gida ne, ko sayayye da kuɗi daga kowane baƙo wanda ba na zuriyarku ba.

And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed.

13 Ko haifaffe a gidanka ko an sayo da kuɗi, dole a yi musu kaciya. Alkawarina cikin jikinku zai kasance madawwamin alkawari.

He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 Kowane namijin da ba a yi masa kaciya a jiki ba, za a fid da shi daga cikin mutanensa; domin ya karya alkawarina.”

And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant.'

15 Allah ya kuma ce wa Ibrahim, “Game da Saira matarka kuwa, ba za ka ƙara kiranta Saira ba, sunanta zai zama Saratu.

And God said unto Abraham: 'As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

16 Zan sa mata albarka, ban da haka ma, zan ba ka ɗa ta wurinta, zan sa mata albarka, za tă kuwa zama mahaifiyar al’ummai; sarakunan mutane za su fito daga gare ta.”

And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.'

17 Ibrahim ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa, ya yi dariya, ya ce wa kansa, “Za a haifi ɗa wa mutum mai shekaru ɗari? Saratu za tă haifi ɗa tana da shekaru tasa’in?”

Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart: 'Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?'

18 Ibrahim ya kuma ce wa Allah, “Me zai hana a dai bar Ishmayel kawai yă gāji alkawarin nan da ka yi mini.”

And Abraham said unto God: 'Oh that Ishmael might live before Thee!'

19 Sai Allah ya ce, “Duk da haka dai, matarka Saratu za tă haifi maka ɗa; za ka kuma kira shi Ishaku. A kansa zan tabbatar da madawwamin alkawarina, da kuma ga zuriyarsa da za su zo bayansa.

And God said: 'Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

20 Game da Ishmayel kuwa, na ji ka. Tabbatacce zan albarkace shi, zan sa yă azurta, zai kuma ƙaru ƙwarai. Zai zama mahaifin masu mulki goma sha biyu, zan kuma maishe shi babban al’umma!

And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

21 Amma dai zan kafa alkawarina da Ishaku wanda Saratu za tă haifa maka war haka shekara mai zuwa.”

But My covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.'

22 Da ya gama magana da Ibrahim, sai Allah ya tashi daga gare shi.

And He left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

23 A wannan rana, Ibrahim ya ɗauki ɗansa Ishmayel da dukan waɗanda aka haifa cikin gidansa, da waɗanda aka sayo da kuɗinsa, ya kuwa yi wa kowane namiji a cikin gidansa kaciya kamar yadda Allah ya faɗa masa.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

24 Ibrahim yana da shekara tasa’in da tara sa’ad da aka yi masa kaciya,

And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 Ishmayel ɗansa kuma yana da shekara goma sha uku.

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

26 Aka yi wa Ibrahim da ɗansa Ishmayel kaciya a rana ɗaya.

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

27 Aka yi wa kowane namiji a gidan Ibrahim kaciya, da waɗanda aka haifa a gidansa, da waɗanda aka sayo da kuɗi daga baƙo.

And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
