उत्पत्ति 17
1 अब्राम उनान्सय वर्षको हुँदा परमप्रभु तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “म सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर हुँ । मेरो सामु आज्ञाकारी भएर हिँड्, र निर्दोष हो ।
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.
2 त्यसपछि मेरो र तेरो बिचको आफ्नो करार म पक्का गर्नेछु, र तँलाई अत्यन्तै वृद्धि गराउनेछु ।”
I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”
3 अब्राम घोप्टो परे अनि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो,
Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,
4 “निश्चय नै मेरो करार तँसँगै छ । तँ धेरै जातिहरूका पिता बन्नेछस् ।”
“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.
5 तेरो नाम अब्राम हुनेछैन, तर अब्राहाम हुनेछ । किनकि म तँलाई धेरै जातिका पिता हुनलाई नियुक्त गर्छु ।
No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.
6 म तँलाई अत्यन्तै फल्दो-फुल्दो तुल्याउनेछु, र तँबाट धेरै जातिहरू बनाउनेछु । तँबाट राजाहरू उत्पन्न हुनेछन् ।
I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.
7 तँ र तँपछिका तेरा सन्तानका परमेश्वर हुनलाई तेरो र मेरो र तँपछिका तेरा सन्तानको बिचमा नित्य रहिरहने करार म स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
8 तँ बसेको देश अर्थात् सारा कनान तँ र तँपछि आउने तेरा सन्तानलाई सधैँको निम्ति अधिकारको रूपमा दिनेछु, र म तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर हुनेछु ।”
And to you and your descendants I will give the land where you are residing—all the land of Canaan—as an eternal possession; and I will be their God.”
9 त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले अब्राहामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँलेचाहिँ मेरो करार पालन गर्नुपर्छ, तँ र तँपछिका तेरा सन्तानहरूले तिनीहरूका पुस्तौँसम्म ।
God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.
10 यो मेरो र तेरो र तँपछि आउने तेरा सन्तानहरूका बिचमा भएको तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नुपर्ने मेरो करार होः तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका हरेक पुरुषको खतना हुनुपर्छ ।
This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.
11 तिमीहरूको खलडीको खतना हुनुपर्छ । मेरो र तिमीहरूको बिचको करारको चिन्ह यही हुनेछ ।
You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
12 तिमीहरूका पुस्तौँसम्म तिमीहरूमा आठ दिन पुगेका हरेक पुरुषको खतना गरिनुपर्छ । यसमा तेरो घरमा जन्मेका र तेरो सन्तान नभए पनि विदेशीबाट दाम हालेर किनेका व्यक्ति पनि पर्दछन् ।
Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner—even those who are not your offspring.
13 तेरो घरमा जन्मेका र तेरो पैसाले किनेका सबैको खतना हुनैपर्छ । यसरी मेरो करार तिमीहरूको शरीरमा नित्य रहिरहने करार हुनेछ ।
Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.
14 खलडीको खतना नगरिएको पुरुष उसका मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्कार गरिनेछ । त्यसले मेरो करार भङ्ग गरेको छ ।”
But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
15 पमेश्वरले अब्राहामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरी पत्नी साराईलाई चाहिँ अबदेखि साराई भनेर नबोलाउनू । तर त्यसको नाउँ सारा हुनेछ ।
Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.
16 म त्यसलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, र त्यसद्वारा म तँलाई एउटा छोरो दिनेछु । म त्यसलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, र त्यो जाति-जातिहरूकी आमा हुनेछे । जाति-जातिहरूका राजाहरू त्यसबाट उत्पन्न हुनेछन् ।”
And I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her.”
17 त्यसपछि अब्राहाम घोप्टो परेर हाँसे, अनि मनमनै यसो भने, “के सय वर्षको मानिसबाट सन्तान जन्मन सक्छ र? नब्बे वर्ष पुगेकी साराले कसरी सन्तान जन्माउन सक्छिन् र?”
Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”
18 अब्राहामले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “इश्माएल नै तपाईंको आशिष््मा बाँचिरहे त हुन्छ!”
And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”
19 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “होइन, तर तेरी पत्नी साराले तेरो निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माउनेछे, र तैँले त्यसको नाउँ इसहाक राख्नू । नित्य रहिरहने करारको रूपमा म त्यससित र त्यसपछि आउने त्यसका सन्तानसित मेरो करार स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
But God replied, “Your wife Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
20 इश्माएको विषयमा मैले तेरो बिन्ति सुनेँ । हेर्, म त्यसलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, र त्यसलाई फल्दो-फुल्दो बनाएर प्रशस्त गरी त्यसको वृद्धि गर्नेछु । त्यो बाह्र जातिका अगुवाहरूका पिता हुनेछ, र त्यसलाई म ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु ।
As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.
21 तर मेरो करार त म इसहाकसँग स्थापित गर्नेछु, जसलाई साराले अर्को वर्ष यही समयमा तँबाट जन्माउनेछे ।”
But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”
22 तिनीसँग कुरा गरिसक्नुभएपछि परमेश्वर अब्राहामदेखि छुट्टिनुभयो ।
When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
23 त्यसपछि अब्राहामले आफ्नो छोरो इश्माएल, र आफ्नो घरमा जन्मेका, र दाम हालेर किनेका सबै, परमेश्वरले भन्नुभएबमोजिम त्यसै दिन आफ्नो घरका सबै पुरुषहरूका खलडीको खतना गरे ।
On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised them, just as God had told him.
24 तिनको खलडीको खतना गर्दा अब्राहाम उनान्सय वर्षका थिए ।
So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,
25 तिनको छोरो इश्माएलचाहिँ आफ्नो खलडीको खतना गर्दा तेह्र वर्षका थिए ।
and his son Ishmael was thirteen;
26 अब्राहाम र इश्माएलको खतना एकै दिनमा भयो ।
Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
27 तिनको घरमा जन्मेका र विदेशीबाट किनिएका सबै पुरुषहरूको खतना तिनको खतनासँगसँगै भयो ।
And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
