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, God appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Walk before me, and be blameless.

2 त्यसपछि मेरो र तेरो बिचको आफ्नो करार म पक्‍का गर्नेछु, र तँलाई अत्यन्तै वृद्धि गराउनेछु ।”

I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you greatly."

3 अब्राम घोप्‍टो परे अनि परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो,

Then Abram fell facedown, and God talked with him, saying,

4 “निश्‍चय नै मेरो करार तँसँगै छ । तँ धेरै जातिहरूका पिता बन्‍नेछस् ।”

"As for me, look, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

5 तेरो नाम अब्राम हुनेछैन, तर अब्राहाम हुनेछ । किनकि म तँलाई धेरै जातिका पिता हुनलाई नियुक्‍त गर्छु ।

Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.

6 म तँलाई अत्यन्तै फल्दो-फुल्दो तुल्याउनेछु, र तँबाट धेरै जातिहरू बनाउनेछु । तँबाट राजाहरू उत्‍पन्‍न हुनेछन् ।

I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of 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 between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to 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 ।”

I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting 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 said to Abraham, "As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

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, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

11 तिमीहरूको खलडीको खतना हुनुपर्छ । मेरो र तिमीहरूको बिचको करारको चिन्ह यही हुनेछ ।

You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It 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 ।

He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your descendants.

13 तेरो घरमा जन्मेका र तेरो पैसाले किनेका सबैको खतना हुनैपर्छ । यसरी मेरो करार तिमीहरूको शरीरमा नित्य रहिरहने करार हुनेछ ।

He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 खलडीको खतना नगरिएको पुरुष उसका मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्कार गरिनेछ । त्यसले मेरो करार भङ्‍ग गरेको छ ।”

And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that person shall 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 ।

God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will 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 moreover I will give you a son by her. And I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come 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?”

Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"

18 अब्राहामले परमेश्‍वरलाई भने, “इश्माएल नै तपाईंको आशिष्‍्‌मा बाँचिरहे त हुन्छ!”

Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you."

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 ।

And God said, "Truly, Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant and with 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. Look, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

21 तर मेरो करार त म इसहाकसँग स्थापित गर्नेछु, जसलाई साराले अर्को वर्ष यही समयमा तँबाट जन्माउनेछे ।”

But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."

22 तिनीसँग कुरा गरिसक्‍नुभएपछि परमेश्‍वर अब्राहामदेखि छुट्टिनुभयो ।

When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

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 ।

Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.

24 तिनको खलडीको खतना गर्दा अब्राहाम उनान्सय वर्षका थिए ।

Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 तिनको छोरो इश्माएलचाहिँ आफ्नो खलडीको खतना गर्दा तेह्र वर्षका थिए ।

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

26 अब्राहाम र इश्माएलको खतना एकै दिनमा भयो ।

In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

27 तिनको घरमा जन्मेका र विदेशीबाट किनिएका सबै पुरुषहरूको खतना तिनको खतनासँगसँगै भयो ।

All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
