Uumama 17
1 Yeroo Abraam nama waggaa sagaltamii sagalii turetti Waaqayyo isatti mulʼatee akkana jedheen; “Ani Waaqa Waan Hundumaa Dandaʼuu dha; ati fuula koo dura amanamummaan deddeebiʼi; hirʼinas hin qabaatin.
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord came to him, and said, I am God, Ruler of all; go in my ways and be upright in all things,
2 Ani kakuu koo anaa fi si gidduu nan dhaaba; guddaas sin baayʼisa.”
And I will make an agreement between you and me, and your offspring will be greatly increased.
3 Abraamis adda isaatiin lafatti gombifame; Waaqnis akkana isaan jedhe;
And Abram went down on his face on the earth, and the Lord God went on talking with him, and said,
4 “Kunoo, kakuun ani si wajjin galu kana: ati abbaa saba baayʼee taata.
As for me, my agreement is made with you, and you will be the father of nations without end.
5 Ati siʼachi Abraam jedhamtee hin waamamtu; waan ani abbaa saboota baayʼee si taasiseef maqaan kee Abrahaam taʼa.
No longer will your name be Abram, but Abraham, for I have made you the father of a number of nations.
6 Ani akka ati guddaa baayʼattu nan godha; akka sabni hedduun si keessaa argamu nan godha; mootonnis si keessaa ni argamu.
I will make you very fertile, so that nations will come from you and kings will be your offspring.
7 Ani Waaqa keetii fi Waaqa sanyii kee kan si duubaan dhufuu taʼuuf jedhee kakuu koo anaa, sii fi sanyii kee kan si duubaa, dhaloota dhufuuf jiru gidduutti kakuu bara baraa godhee nan dhaaba.
And I will make between me and you and your seed after you through all generations, an eternal agreement to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
8 Biyya Kanaʼaan guutuu lafa ati amma orma taatee jiraattu kana ani dhaala bara baraa godhee siʼii fi sanyiiwwan kee warra si booddeetiif nan kenna; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.”
And to you and to your seed after you, I will give the land in which you are living, all the land of Canaan for an eternal heritage; and I will be their God.
9 Waaqni Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Ati immoo kakuu koo eeguu qabda; ati, sanyiin kee warri si duubaas dhaloota isaanii keessatti kakuu koo eeguu qabdu.
And God said to Abraham, On your side, you are to keep the agreement, you and your seed after you through all generations.
10 Kakuun koo kan isin anaa fi siʼi gidduutti, sanyii kee kan siʼi duubaan dhufu gidduuttis eeguu qabdan kanaa dha; innis isin keessaa dhiirri hundinuu dhagna haa qabatu.
And this is the agreement which you are to keep with me, you and your seed after you: every male among you is to undergo circumcision.
11 Qola keessan dhagna qabadhaa; kunis kakuu anaa fi isin gidduu jiruuf mallattoo taʼa.
In the flesh of your private parts you are to undergo it, as a mark of the agreement between me and you.
12 Isin keessaa dhiirri guyyaa saddeet guute dhagna haa qabatu; dhaloota keessan hunda keessatti dhiirri mana keetti dhalate yookaan kan nama biyya ormaa irraa maallaqa keetiin bitame hundi kan sanyii kee hin taʼin dhagna haa qabatu.
Every male among you, from one generation to another, is to undergo circumcision when he is eight days old, with every servant whose birth takes place in your house, or for whom you gave money to someone of another country, and not of your seed.
13 Mana keetti dhalatanis yookaan maallaqa keetiin bitamanis isaan dhagna haa qabatan. Kakuun koo kan foon keessan irratti godhame kun kakuu bara baraa taʼa.
He who comes to birth in your house and he who is made yours for a price, all are to undergo circumcision; so that my agreement may be marked in your flesh, an agreement for all time.
14 Dhiirri dhagna hin qabatin, kan qola foon isaa dhagna hin qabatin kam iyyuu saba ofii isaa keessaa balleeffama; inni kakuu koo cabseeraatii.”
And any male who does not undergo circumcision will be cut off from his people: my agreement has been broken by him.
15 Waaqni ammas Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Ati siʼachi niitii kee Sooraadhaan, Sooraa hin jettu; maqaan ishee Saaraa taʼa.
And God said, As for Sarai, your wife, from now her name will be not Sarai, but Sarah.
16 Ani ishee nan eebbisa; ishee irraas ilma siif nan kenna. Akka isheen haadha sabootaa taatuufis ishee nan eebbisa; mootonni sabootaas ishee keessaa argamu.”
And I will give her a blessing so that you will have a son by her: truly my blessing will be on her, and she will be the mother of nations: kings of peoples will be her offspring.
17 Abrahaamis addaan gombifame; kolfees, “Nama waggaa dhibbaatiif ilmi ni dhalataa? Saaraanis waggaa sagaltamatti mucaa deessii?” jedhee yaade.
Then Abraham went down on his face, and laughing, said in his heart, May a man a hundred years old have a child? will Sarah, at ninety years old, give birth?
18 Abrahaamis Waaqaan, “Maaloo utuu Ishmaaʼeel fuula kee dura naa jiraatee!” jedhe.
And Abraham said to God, If only Ishmael's life might be your care!
19 Waaqnis akkana jedhe; “Tole; garuu niitiin kee Saaraan ilma siif deessi; maqaa isaas Yisihaaq jedhii moggaasi. Anis kakuu koo sanyii isaa kan isa duubaan dhufuuf kakuu bara baraa godhee isa wajjin nan dhaaba.
And God said, Not so; but Sarah, your wife, will have a son, and you will give him the name Isaac, and I will make my agreement with him for ever and with his seed after him.
20 Waaʼee Ishmaaʼeel immoo ani si dhagaʼeera; kunoo ani, isa nan eebbisa; akka inni baayʼatu nan godha; guddaa isa nan baayʼisa. Inni abbaa bulchitoota kudha lamaa taʼa; anis saba guddaa isa nan godha.
As for Ishmael, I have given ear to your prayer: truly I have given him my blessing and I will make him fertile and give him great increase; he will be the father of twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.
21 Kakuu koo garuu Yisihaaq isa Saaraan waggaa dhufu keessa yeroo kanatti siif deessu wajjin nan dhaaba.”
But my agreement will be with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth a year from this time.
22 Waaqni erga Abrahaam wajjin haasaʼee fixatee booddee isa biraa ol baʼe.
And having said these words, God went up from Abraham.
23 Abrahaamis guyyuma sana ilmaan isaa Ishmaaʼeelii fi warra mana isaatti dhalatan yookaan warra maallaqa isaatiin bitaman hunda, dhiira mana isaa hundumaas fuudhee akkuma Waaqni isatti himetti dhagna qabe.
And Abraham took Ishmael, his son, and all whose birth had taken place in his house, and all his servants whom he had made his for a price, every male of his house, and on that very day he gave them circumcision in the flesh of their private parts as God had said to him.
24 Abrahaam yeroo dhagna qabatetti nama waggaa sagaltamii sagalii ture.
Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he underwent circumcision.
25 Ilmi isaa Ishmaaʼeel immoo yeroo dhagna qabatetti nama waggaa kudha sadii ture.
And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he underwent circumcision.
26 Abrahaamii fi ilmi isaa Ishmaaʼeel guyyuma sana dhagna qabatan.
Abraham and Ishmael, his son, underwent circumcision on that very day.
27 Dhiirri mana Abrahaam hundinuu, warri mana isaatti dhalatan yookaan warri orma irraa maallaqaan bitamanis isa wajjin dhagna qabatan.
And all the men of his house, those whose birth had taken place in the house and those whom he had got for money from men of other lands, underwent circumcision with him.
