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 Abram is a son of ninety-nine years, and YHWH appears to Abram, and says to him, “I [am] God Almighty, habitually walk before Me, and be perfect;

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

and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”

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

And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,

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

“I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;

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

and your name is no longer called Abram, but your name has been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you;

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

and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.

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 have established My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant, to become God to you, and to your seed after you;

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 have given to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a continuous possession, and I have become 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 says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout 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 you keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: every male of you [is] to be circumcised;

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

and you have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a token of a covenant between 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 a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male throughout your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of your seed;

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

he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in your house, or bought with your money; and My covenant has become in your flesh a perpetual covenant;

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

and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people; My covenant he has broken.”

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 says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

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 have blessed her, and have also given to you a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she has become nations—kings of peoples are from 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?

And Abraham falls on his face, and laughs, and says in his heart, “Is one born to the son of one hundred years? Or does Sarah—daughter of ninety years—bear?”

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

And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”;

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 says, “Your wife Sarah is certainly bearing a son to you, and you have called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a perpetual covenant, to 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.

As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes does he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

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

and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;

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

and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes 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 takes his son Ishmael, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money—every male among the men of Abraham’s house and circumcises the flesh of their foreskin, in this very same day, as God has spoken with him.

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

And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

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

and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

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

in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;

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 from the son of a stranger—have been circumcised with him.
