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 it came to pass that, when Abram was ninety and nine years old, Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said unto him, I, am GOD Almighty, —Walk, thou before me and become thou blameless:

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

That I may set my covenant betwixt me and thee, And may multiply thee, exceedingly.

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

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

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

As for me, lo! my covenant is with thee, —So shalt thou 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 thy name shall no more be called Abram, —but thy name shall become Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations, have I appointed 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 fruitful, exceedingly, and grant thee to be nations, —Yea kings, out of thee, shall come forth;

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 confirm my covenant betwixt me and thee and thy seed after thee to their generations for an age-abiding covenant, —to become to thee a God, 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 to thee and to thy seed after thee the land of thy sojournings—all the land of Canaan, for an age-abiding possession—And I will be to them a 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, But, as for thee, my covenant, must thou keep, thou and thy seed after thee, to 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, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee, —To circumcise to you every male:

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

So shall ye be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, —So shall it become a sign of a 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 to you every male to your generations, —he that is born of the house, and he that is bought with silver of any son of a stranger, who 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 must surely be circumcised, born of thy house or bought with thy silver, —So shall my covenant be in your flesh for an age-abiding covenant.

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

But, as for the uncircumcised male who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, —that person shall be cut off from among his people, —my covenant, hath he made void.

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, 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 will bless her, yea moreover will give—from her—to thee, a son, —And I will bless her, and she shall become nations. Kings of peoples, from her, shall arise.

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 fell on his face and laughed, —and said in his heart To one a hundred years old, shall a child be born? And shall even Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?

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

And Abraham said unto God, —Oh 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—Truly, Sarah thy wife, is about to bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name, Isaac, —and I will establish my covenant with him as an age-abiding 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.

Yet as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo! I have blessed him and will make him fruitful, and multiply him, exceedingly, —twelve princes, shall he beget, and I will grant him to be 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, —whom Sarah shall bear, to thee, by 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 speaking 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.

So Abraham took Ishmael his son and all born of his house and all bought with his silver—every male among the men of the house of Abraham, —and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on this selfsame day, according to that which God had spoken with him.

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

Now Abraham, was ninety-nine years old, —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;

On this 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 of his house, and bought with silver from the son of a stranger, were circumcised with him.
