< Genesis 17 >

1 Ke Abram el yac eungoul eu, LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel ac fahk, “Nga God Kulana. Akosyu ac oru ma suwohs pacl nukewa.
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, God appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Walk before me, and be blameless.
2 Nga ac fah oru sie wuleang inmasrlok kom, ac sot fwilin tulik puspis nutum.”
I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you greatly."
3 Abram el faksufi, ac God El fahk,
Then Abram fell facedown, and God talked with him, saying,
4 “Nga oru wuleang se inge inmasrlok ac kom: Nga wuleot mu kom ac fah papa tumun mutunfacl puspis.
"As for me, look, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5 Ac fah tia sifil pangpang kom Abram, a Abraham, mweyen nga ac oru kom in papa tumun mutunfacl puspis.
Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 Nga ac fah sot tulik puspis nutum, ac kutu selos ac fah tokosra. Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah arulana pukanten, pwanang elos ac fah orala mutunfacl puspis.
I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
7 Nga fah karinganang wuleang luk nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum in pacl fahsru uh, tuh in sie wuleang nwe tok. Nga fah God lom ac God lun fwil nutum.
I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.
8 Nga fah sot nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum fahl se inge su kom mwetsac nu fac in pacl inge. Facl Canaan nufon fah ma lun fwil nutum nwe tok, ac nga ac fah God lalos.”
I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God."
9 God El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Kom, ac fwilin tulik nutum nwe tok, enenu in wiyu pac insese in liyaung wuleang se inge.
God said to Abraham, "As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
10 Kom ac fwil nutum nukewa enenu in insese pac in kosrala mukul nukewa inmasrlowos.
This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 Kowos fah kosrala kulun ma mukul lowos, na ac fah pa ingan akul lun wuleang se inmasrlok ac kom inge.
You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
12 In fwil nukewa nutum, mukul nukewa inmasrlon mwet lom ac fah kosreyukla ke el sun len oalkosr matwa, wi pac mwet kohs su isusla in lohm sum, oayapa elos su kom molela sin mwetsac su tia ma nutum.
He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your descendants.
13 Kais sie mukul enenu in kosreyukla, ac ma se inge ac fah sie akul ke monuwos in akkalemye lah wuleang se inmasrlok ac kom inge ma na nwe tok.
He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 Kutena mukul su tia kosrkosrla ac fah wotla liki inmasrlon mwet luk, mweyen el kunausla wuleang luk.”
And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that person shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."
15 God El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Kom fah tia sifil pangon mutan kiom Sarai. Ingela inel ac fah pangpang Sarah.
God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.
16 Nga ac fah akinsewowoyal, ac nga fah oru tuh elan oswe sie wen nutum. Nga fah akinsewowoyal, ac el fah nina kien mutunfacl puspis. Ac fah oasr tokosra inmasrlon fwilin tulik natul.”
And I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. And I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."
17 Abraham el faksufi, tusruktu el mutawauk in israsr ke el nunku, “Mea, sie mukul ac ku in oasr tulik natul ke el yac siofok matu? Ya Sarah el ku in orek tulik ke el yac eungoul?”
Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"
18 Ac el siyuk sin God, “Efu ku kom tia tari sang na Ishmael elan mwet usru luk?”
Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you."
19 Tuh God El fahk, “Mo. Sarah mutan kiom el ac oswela wen se nutum ac kom fah sang inel Isaac. Nga fah sruokyana wuleang luk yorol ac yurin fwilin tulik natul nwe tok — sie wuleang su wangin saflaiya.
And God said, "Truly, Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him.
20 Nga lohng siyuk lom kacl Ishmael, ke ma inge nga fah akinsewowoyal ac sang tulik puspis natul ac fwil puspis. El ac fah papa tumun fisrak singoul luo, ac nga fah oru sie mutunfacl lulap ke fwil natul.
As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Look, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
21 Tusruktu nga fah liyaung wuleang luk yorol Isaac, wen nutum su Sarah el ac fah oswela ke pacl se pacna inge in yac fahsru.”
But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."
22 Ke God El sramsram tari nu sel Abraham, na El som lukel.
When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
23 In len sac pacna, Abraham el akos God ac kosralla Ishmael ac mukul nukewa in lohm sel, wi pac mwet kohs ma isusyang nu in paol, oayapa elos su el molela ke mani.
Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.
24 Abraham el yac eungoul eu ke el kosrkosrla,
Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 ac Ishmael wen natul el yac singoul tolu.
Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 Eltal kewa kosrkosrla ke len sefanna,
In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
27 wi mwet kulansap nukewa lal Abraham.
All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
