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.
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 Ani kakuu koo anaa fi si gidduu nan dhaaba; guddaas sin baayʼisa.”
That I may set my covenant betwixt me and thee, And may multiply thee, exceedingly.
3 Abraamis adda isaatiin lafatti gombifame; Waaqnis akkana isaan jedhe;
And Abram fell on his face, —and God spake with him, saying:
4 “Kunoo, kakuun ani si wajjin galu kana: ati abbaa saba baayʼee taata.
As for me, lo! my covenant is with thee, —So shalt thou become—father of a multitude of nations;
5 Ati siʼachi Abraam jedhamtee hin waamamtu; waan ani abbaa saboota baayʼee si taasiseef maqaan kee Abrahaam taʼa.
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 Ani akka ati guddaa baayʼattu nan godha; akka sabni hedduun si keessaa argamu nan godha; mootonnis si keessaa ni argamu.
And I will make thee fruitful, exceedingly, and grant thee to be nations, —Yea kings, out of thee, shall come forth;
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 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 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 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 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 unto Abraham, But, as for thee, my covenant, must thou keep, thou and thy seed after thee, to their 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.
This, is my covenant which ye shall keep, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee, —To circumcise to you every male:
11 Qola keessan dhagna qabadhaa; kunis kakuu anaa fi isin gidduu jiruuf mallattoo taʼa.
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 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.
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 Mana keetti dhalatanis yookaan maallaqa keetiin bitamanis isaan dhagna haa qabatan. Kakuun koo kan foon keessan irratti godhame kun kakuu bara baraa taʼa.
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 Dhiirri dhagna hin qabatin, kan qola foon isaa dhagna hin qabatin kam iyyuu saba ofii isaa keessaa balleeffama; inni kakuu koo cabseeraatii.”
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 Waaqni ammas Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Ati siʼachi niitii kee Sooraadhaan, Sooraa hin jettu; maqaan ishee Saaraa taʼa.
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, —but, Sarah, is her name;
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 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 Abrahaamis addaan gombifame; kolfees, “Nama waggaa dhibbaatiif ilmi ni dhalataa? Saaraanis waggaa sagaltamatti mucaa deessii?” jedhee yaade.
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 Abrahaamis Waaqaan, “Maaloo utuu Ishmaaʼeel fuula kee dura naa jiraatee!” jedhe.
And Abraham said unto God, —Oh that, Ishmael, might live before thee!
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—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 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.
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 Kakuu koo garuu Yisihaaq isa Saaraan waggaa dhufu keessa yeroo kanatti siif deessu wajjin nan dhaaba.”
But my covenant, will I establish with Isaac, —whom Sarah shall bear, to thee, by this set time, in the next year.
22 Waaqni erga Abrahaam wajjin haasaʼee fixatee booddee isa biraa ol baʼe.
And he left off speaking with him, —and 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.
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 Abrahaam yeroo dhagna qabatetti nama waggaa sagaltamii sagalii ture.
Now Abraham, was ninety-nine years old, —when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 Ilmi isaa Ishmaaʼeel immoo yeroo dhagna qabatetti nama waggaa kudha sadii ture.
And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 Abrahaamii fi ilmi isaa Ishmaaʼeel guyyuma sana dhagna qabatan.
On this selfsame day, was Abraham circumcised, —and Ishmael his son;
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, born of his house, and bought with silver from the son of a stranger, were circumcised with him.
