Genesisy 17

1 Ary rehefa sivy amby sivi-folo taona Abrama, dia nisehoan’ i Jehovah izy ka nitenenany hoe: Izaho no Andriamanitra Tsitoha; mandehana eo anatrehako, ka aoka ho tsy misy tsiny ianao.

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

2 Fa Izaho hanao ny fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminao ary hahamaro anao indrindra.

And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 Dia niankohoka Abrama; ary Andriamanitra niteny taminy ka nanao hoe:

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

4 Raha ny amiko, dia, indro, aminao ny fanekeko, ka ho tonga rain’ ny firenena maro ianao.

As for me, behold, my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

5 Ary ny anaranao tsy hatao hoe Abrama intsony, fa hatao hoe Abrahama, satria efa nataoko ho rain’ ny firenena maro ianao.

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

6 Dia hahamaro ny taranakao indrindra Aho, ka hataoko ho firenena maro ianao; ary hisy mpanjaka hiseho avy aminao.

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

7 Ary haoriko ny fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminao mbamin’ ny taranakao mandimby anao hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby, ho fanekena mandrakizay, mba ho Andriamanitrao sy ny taranakao mandimby anao Aho.

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

8 Ary homeko anao sy ny taranakao any aorianao ny tany fivahinianao, dia ny tany Kanana rehetra, ho fananana mandrakizay; ary ho Andriamaniny Aho.

And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

9 Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Abrahama: Fa ny aminao kosa, dia hitandrina ny fanekeko ianao, dia ianao sy ny taranakao mandimby anao hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.

And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

10 Ary izao no fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminareo sy ny taranakao mandimby anao, dia izay hotandremanareo: hoforana ny lehilahy rehetra eo aminareo.

This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

11 Dia hoforana ianareo; ary ho famantarana ny fanekena ho amiko sy ho aminareo izany.

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

12 Ny zazalahy teraka havaloana eo aminareo no hoforana, dia ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny taranakareo hatramin’ ny fara mandimby: na ny ompikely, na izay novidim-bola tamin’ ny hafa firenena ka tsy avy amin’ ny taranakao.

And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which [is] not of thy seed.

13 Tsy maintsy hoforana ny ompikelinao sy izay novidinao vola; ary ny fanekeko dia ho ao amin’ ny nofonareo ho fanekena mandrakizay.

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 Ary ny lehilahy tsy voafora, izay tsy mbola noforana, dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny; efa nivadika ny fanekeko izy.

And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

15 Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Abrahama: Ny amin’ i Saray vadinao, dia tsy mba hataonao Saray intsony ny anarany, fa Saraha no ho anarany.

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

16 Ary hitahy azy Aho ka hampanana azy zazalahy ho anao; eny, hitahy azy Aho, ka ho tonga firenena maro izy; ary hisy mpanjakan’ ny firenena maro avy aminy.

And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

17 Dia niankohoka Abrahama ary nitsiky, dia nanao anakampo hoe: Hiteraka va aho, izay efa zato taona? ary hiteraka va Saraha, izay efa sivi-folo taona?

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

18 Ary hoy Abrahama tamin’ Andriamanitra: Enga anie ka Isimaela no ho velona eo anatrehanao!

And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

19 Ary hoy Andriamanitra: Tsia, fa Saraha vadinao hiteraka zazalahy aminao; ary ny anarany dia hataonao hoe Isaka; ary ny fanekeko haoriko aminy ho fanekena mandrakizay ho an’ ny taranany mandimby azy.

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

20 Ary ny amin’ Isimaela, dia efa nihaino anao Aho; indro, efa nitahy azy Aho ka hahamaro ny taranany sy hampitombo azy indrindra; hiteraka andriana roa ambin’ ny folo izy, satria efa notendreko ho firenena lehibe.

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 Nefa ny fanekeko haoriko amin’ Isaka, izay haterak’ i Saraha aminao raha avy ny taona toy izao.

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

22 Ary rehefa vita ny teny nataony taminy, dia niakatra Andriamanitra niala teo amin’ i Abrahama.

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

23 Koa dia nalain’ i Abrahama Isimaela zanany sy ny ompikeliny rehetra mbamin’ izay rehetra novidiny vola dia ny lehilahy rehetra tao an-tranony; dia noforany androtrizay indrindra ireo araka izay nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminy.

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 Ary efa sivy amby sivi-folo taona Abrahama, raha noforana izy.

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

25 Ary efa telo ambin’ ny folo taona Isimaela zanany, raha noforana izy.

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

26 Androtrizay indrindra no namorana an’ i Abrahama sy Isimaela zanany;

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

27 ary ny lehilahy rehetra tao an-tranony, dia ny ompikely mbamin’ izay novidim-bola tamin’ ny hafa firenena, dia samy niara-noforana taminy avokoa.

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