Jenesis 17

1 Abramu'a 99ni'a zagegafu higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a agrite efore huno amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra Hihamu'ane Anumzamo'na kagrira negasmue. Nagri namagenentanku fatgo kavu'kava hunka manio.

When Abram was 99, the Lord appeared to him and told him, “I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and don't do wrong.

2 Hanki Nagri huvempa keni'amo'a amu'nonti'afi me'nena, Nagra kagripinti vahera zamazeri hakare hugahue.

I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”

3 Abramu'a avugosaregati mopafi mase'negeno, Anumzamo'a mago'ene amanage huno asami'ne,

Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God told him,

4 Nagra kagrane huhagerafi huvempa ke huankino, hakare'a kokantega vahera kagripinti fore hu'za ku'ma ante'za mani avitesnagenka, kagra nafazami'za hugahane.

“Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,

5 Hagi Abramuge hu'za mago'enena kagia ohegahaze. Menina Abrahamuge hu'za hugahaze. Na'ankure kagra hakare'a veamokizmi nafazamiza hugahane.

so your name won't be Abram any longer. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I'm going to make you the father of many nations.

6 Nagra kazeri ra hanena kagripinti hakare'a kokankoka vahera fore nehanageno, kini vahe'enena fore hugahaze.

I will make sure you have a large number of descendants. They will become many nations, and some of their kings will also come from your line.

7 Hanki'na Nagra amunonti'afi huhagerafi huvempage huankino, ama ana mevava huvempa ke'mo'a, kagrite'ene kagripinti'ma fore hanaza vahete'ene henkama fore hunante anante hu'za vanaza vahete'enena meno nevanige'na Nagra kagri Anumza mani'nena, kagripinti'ma fore hu anante ante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mokizmi Anumza manigahue.

I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.

8 Kagri'ene, kagehe'ine, henkama fore hanamokizmine kragama emanina Kenani mopa tamivaneroe. Ana mopamo'a tamagriza seno mevava nehina, Nagra zamagri Anumza manigahue.

I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”

9 Hagi Anumzamo'a mago'ene amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, Kagrane mofavrezaga ka'ane, kase anante anante hanamozanena huvempa keni'a amage anteho.

Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.

10 Nagranema huhagerafi'nonku amanahu hugahaze, ne' mofavretmia mika zamagozamofo amega anoma'a taga hutregahaze. Henkama fore hu' anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mo'zanena ana zanke hugahaze.

This is my agreement with you and your descendants who come after you, the agreement you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised.

11 Abrahamuga, Nagrane huhagerafi'noa zamofo avame'zama mesiana, kagozamofo amega noma'a taga hutro.

You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.

12 Hagi maka ne' mofavre'ma kasentesamokizmia 8ti zage gnare, knane knanena henkama fore hanaza mofavre'mokizmi zamufga taga hugahaze. Nonka'afima eri'za vahe'mo'ma kasentesia vahe'pinti'ene zagoreti'ma mizasesana vahe'ma aruregati e'nesia vahe'enena zamufa taga huzmantegahaze.

From now and for all generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. This includes not only your sons but also those born in your household or bought from foreigners.

13 Kagri nompima mani'ne'za kasentenesa vahepi, zagoreti miza hu'nenaza vahe'mo'zanena, zamagoza anoma'a taga hugahaze. E'inama hanaza zamo'a Nagranema huhagerafi'noa zamofo avame'za zamagri zamufgarera mevava hugahie.

You must circumcise those born in your household or bought from foreigners as a sign in your bodies of my eternal agreement.

14 Hagi agoza anoma taga osanimo'a, Nagranema huhagerafi'noa kea ruhantaginigu, agrira naga'afintira avre atregahaze.

Any uncircumcised male who refuses circumcision will be excluded from his people because he has broken my agreement.”

15 Hanki Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abrahamuna asami'ne, kotera negnarona Sarai'e hu'nane. Hagi menina kasefa agi'a Sera'e hunka hugahane.

Then God told Abraham, “Now about Sarai your wife. Don't call her Sarai any longer. Instead, her name will be Sarah.

16 Nagra Serana asomu huntesugeno, agra mofavre eri fore hunegamina, asomu huntanena hakare vahe'mokizmi antazmiza nehanigeno, agripinti kini vahera fore hugahaze.

I will bless her and I promise to give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations, and kings will be among her descendants.”

17 Abrahamu'a rena reno kepri huno agu'afina kizanereno anage hu'ne, Nagra 100'a zagegafu hugeno Sera'a 90'a zagegafu higeta, ko' ozafa tavava re'noanki, inankna huta mofavre kasentenaku nehukeno nehie?

Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground. But inside he was laughing, asking himself, “How on earth could I have a son at the age of one hundred? How could Sarah have a child when she is ninety?”

18 Abrahamu'a amanage huno Anumzamofo kenona hu'ne, knare Ismaeli'a kavure mani'neno asomura erigahie!

Abraham said to God, “May Ishmael always live under your blessing!”

19 Hianagi Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, A'o tamage huno negnaro Sera'a mofavre kasentesigenka, agi'a Aisaki'e hunka antegahane. Nagra agrane huvempa hanugeno ana huvempa kemo'a agrite'ene, agripinti'ma henkama fore hu anante anante'ma hanaza vahete'ene mevava huno vugahie.

“No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement.

20 Ismaeli kazigagu'ma nantahima kanana, hago antahuanki'na Nagra asomu huntesugeno, agripintira rama'a vahe fore hu'za manigahaze. Ana nehanageno 12fu'a kva vahe'mokizmi nezmafaza hugahie. Nagra agehemokizmia zamazeri hankavetisuge'za hanvenentake vahe manigahaze.

Now about Ishmael. I heard what you said, and I will also bless him. I will make sure he has a great many descendants. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.

21 Hianagi Nagra hu hagerafi huvempa ke'ni'a, Sera'ma kasentesia mofavre Aisakinte eri hanavetigahue. Ama ana knare anaga'a kafufi kasentegahie.

But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”

22 Anumzamo'a anage huno Abrahamu asmiteno, atreno vu'ne.

When God had finished speaking with Abraham he left him.

23 Abrahamu'a Ismaeline, eri'za vahe'amokizmine zamazerino zamagoza anona taga huvagare zamante'ne. Agranema manine'za kasezmante'naza eri'za vahe'ane, ru mopareti miza se'nea vahe'ane miko zamagoza anona taga huzmante'ne. Anumzamo'ma asmi'nea kante anteno ana zupage'za taga hu'ne.

That day Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael as well as all those born in his household or purchased, in fact every male among the members of Abraham's household, just as God had told him.

24 Abrahamu'a 99ni'a zagegafu manino ozafa reteno, avufga taga hu'ne.

Abraham was 99 when he was circumcised,

25 Hanki Ismaeli'a 13ni'a zagegafu huno nehazave seno manigeno avufga taga hu'ne.

and his son Ishmael was thirteen.

26 E'i ana zupage Abrahamune, Ismaelikizni zanavufga taga huzanante'ne.

Both Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.

27 Miko eri'za vahe'ane, mofavrezimine agrane nemaniza kasente'nazampi, arurega vahe zagoreti miza sezmante'nea vahe'ene ana mika zamagoza anona taga hu'naze.

All the males in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or purchased from foreigners, were circumcised with him.
