and to be Abram son: aged ninety year and nine year and to see: see LORD to(wards) Abram and to say to(wards) him I God Almighty to go: walk to/for face: before my and to be unblemished: blameless

2 Njalo ngizakwenza isivumelwano sami phakathi kwami lawe, ngizakwandisa kakhulukazi.

4 Mina ngokwami, khangela, isivumelwano sami silawe; futhi uzakuba nguyise wezizwe ezinengi.

and to arise: establish [obj] covenant my between me and between you and between seed: children your after you to/for generation their to/for covenant forever: enduring to/for to be to/for you to/for God and to/for seed: children your after you

8 Ngizanika-ke wena lenzalo yakho emva kwakho ilizwe ohlala kilo njengowezizwe, ilizwe lonke leKhanani, libe yimfuyo elaphakade; njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu kibo.

9 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuAbrahama: Wena-ke uzagcina isivumelwano sami, wena lenzalo yakho emva kwakho ezizukulwaneni zayo.

and to say God to(wards) Abraham and you(m. s.) [obj] covenant my to keep: obey you(m. s.) and seed: children your after you to/for generation their

10 Lesi yisivumelwano sami elizasigcina phakathi kwami lani lenzalo yakho emva kwakho; sonke isilisa sisokwe kini.

15 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuAbrahama: NgoSarayi umkakho, ungabizi ibizo lakhe uthi nguSarayi, ngoba uSara libizo lakhe.

and to say God to(wards) Abraham Sarai woman: wife your not to call: call by [obj] name her Sarai for Sarah name her

16 Njalo ngizambusisa, ngikunike indodana evela lakuye; yebo ngizambusisa abesesiba yizizwe, amakhosi ezizwe azavela kuye.

and to bless [obj] her and also to give: give from her to/for you son: child and to bless her and to be to/for nation king people from her to be

17 UAbrahama wasesiwa ngobuso bakhe, wahleka, wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: Oleminyaka elikhulu uzazalelwa yini? Kambe loSara oleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye uzazala?

and to fall: fall Abraham upon face his and to laugh and to say in/on/with heart his to/for son: aged hundred year to beget and if: surely no Sarah daughter ninety year to beget

and to say Abraham to(wards) [the] God if Ishmael to live to/for face: before your

19 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Hatshi, uSara umkakho uzakuzalela indodana; uzayitha ibizo uthi nguIsaka; njalo ngizamisa isivumelwano sami laye, sibe yisivumelwano esilaphakade kunzalo yakhe emva kwakhe.

and to say God truly Sarah woman: wife your to beget to/for you son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Isaac and to arise: establish [obj] covenant my with him to/for covenant forever: enduring to/for seed: children his after him

20 Mayelana loIshmayeli ngikuzwile-ke; khangela, ngimbusisile, njalo ngizamenza abe lenzalo, ngimandise kakhulukazi; uzazala iziphathamandla ezilitshumi lambili, njalo ngizamenza isizwe esikhulu.

and to/for Ishmael to hear: hear you behold to bless [obj] him and be fruitful [obj] him and to multiply [obj] him in/on/with much much two ten leader to beget and to give: make him to/for nation great: large

21 Kodwa isivumelwano sami ngizasimisa loIsaka, uSara azakuzalela yena ngalesisikhathi esimisiweyo ngomnyaka ozayo.

23 UAbrahama wasethatha uIshmayeli indodana yakhe labo bonke ababezelwe endlini yakhe labo bonke ababethengwe ngemali yakhe, sonke isilisa phakathi kwabendlu kaAbrahama, wasoka inyama yejwabu labo laphambili, ngalona lolosuku, njengalokho uNkulunkulu akutshoyo kuye.
