Genesisi 17
1 Abhurama akati ava namakore makumi mapfumbamwe namapfumbamwe okuberekwa, Jehovha akazviratidza kwaari akati, “Ndini Mwari Wamasimba Ose; famba pamberi pangu uye uve wakarurama.
And Abram is a son of ninety-nine years, and YHWH appears to Abram, and says to him, “I [am] God Almighty, habitually walk before Me, and be perfect;
2 Ndichasimbisa sungano yangu pakati pangu newe uye ndichakukurisa kwazvo.”
and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”
3 Abhurama akawira pasi nechiso chake, uye Mwari akati kwaari,
And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,
4 “Kana ndirini, iyi ndiyo sungano yangu newe: Uchava baba vendudzi zhinji.
“I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;
5 Hauchazonzi Abhurama; zita rako richanzi Abhurahama nokuti ndakuita baba vendudzi zhinji.
and your name is no longer called Abram, but your name has been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you;
6 Ndichakuita kuti uve navana vazhinji; ndichaita ndudzi kubva mauri, uye madzimambo achabva pauri.
and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.
7 Ndichasimbisa sungano yangu sesungano isingaperi pakati pangu newe uye nezvizvarwa zvako zvinotevera kumarudzi achauya, kuti ndive Mwari wako naMwari wezvizvarwa zvako zvinotevera.
And I have established My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant, to become God to you, and to your seed after you;
8 Nyika yose yeKenani, mauri mutorwa zvino, ndichaipa kwauri nokusingaperi kuti ive yako nezvizvarwa zvako zvinokutevera; uye ini ndichava Mwari wavo.”
and I have given to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a continuous possession, and I have become their God.”
9 Ipapo Mwari akati kuna Abhurahama, “Kana uriwe, unofanira kuchengeta sungano yangu, iwe nezvizvarwa zvako zvinokutevera kumarudzi achauya.
And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout their generations;
10 Iyi ndiyo sungano yangu newe nezvizvarwa zvako zvinokutevera, sungano yaunofanira kuchengeta: Munhurume wose ari pakati penyu anofanira kudzingiswa.
this [is] My covenant which you keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: every male of you [is] to be circumcised;
11 Munofanira kudzingiswa, uye ichi chichava chiratidzo chesungano pakati pangu newe.
and you have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
12 Kubva kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera, mwanakomana mumwe nomumwe ari pakati penyu ava namazuva masere okuberekwa anofanira kudzingiswa, kusanganisa navaya vakaberekerwa mumba mako kana vakatengwa nemari kumutorwa, vaya vasiri vana vako.
And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male throughout your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of your seed;
13 Angava akaberekerwa mumba mako kana akatengwa nemari yako, vanofanira kudzingiswa. Sungano yangu panyama yenyu inofanira kuva sungano isingaperi.
he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in your house, or bought with your money; and My covenant has become in your flesh a perpetual covenant;
14 Munhurume upi zvake, asina kudzingiswa panyama, achabviswa pavanhu vokwake; aputsa sungano yangu.”
and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people; My covenant he has broken.”
15 Mwari akatiwo kuna Abhurahama, “Kana ari Sarai mukadzi wako, hauchazomutizve Sarai; zita rake richanzi Sara.
And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;
16 Ndichamuropafadza uye zvirokwazvo ndichakupa mwanakomana naye. Ndichamuropafadza kuitira kuti agozova mai vendudzi; madzimambo amarudzi achabva kwaari.”
and I have blessed her, and have also given to you a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she has become nations—kings of peoples are from her.”
17 Abhurahama akawira pasi nechiso chake, akaseka uye akati mumwoyo make, “Ko, mwanakomana angaberekwa nomunhu ava namakore zana okuberekwa here? Ko, Sara angabereka mwana iye ava namakore makumi mapfumbamwe here?”
And Abraham falls on his face, and laughs, and says in his heart, “Is one born to the son of one hundred years? Or does Sarah—daughter of ninety years—bear?”
18 Uye Abhurahama akati kuna Mwari, “Dai hazvo Ishumaeri agara hake pamaropafadzo enyu!”
And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”;
19 Ipapo Mwari akati, “Hongu, asi mukadzi wako Sara achakuberekera mwanakomana, uye uchamutumidza kuti Isaka. Ndichasimbisa sungano yangu sesungano isingaperi yezvizvarwa zvake zvinomutevera.
and God says, “Your wife Sarah is certainly bearing a son to you, and you have called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a perpetual covenant, to his seed after him.
20 Uye kana ari Ishumaeri, ndakanzwa: Ndichamuropafadza zvirokwazvo, ndichamuita kuti ave navana vazhinji uye ndichaita kuti vawande kwazvo. Achava baba wavatongi gumi navaviri, uye ndichamuita rudzi rukuru.
As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes does he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;
21 Asi ndichasimbisa sungano yangu naIsaka, uyo achaberekerwa iwe naSara nenguva ino gore rinouya.”
and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;
22 Akati apedza kutaura naAbhurahama, Mwari akakwira kumusoro achibva paari.
and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham.
23 Pazuva racho iroro Abhurahama akatora mwanakomana wake Ishumaeri navose vakaberekwa mumba make kana vakanga vatengwa nemari, vanhurume vose vaiva mumba make, akavadzingisa, sezvaakanga audzwa naMwari.
And Abraham takes his son Ishmael, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money—every male among the men of Abraham’s house and circumcises the flesh of their foreskin, in this very same day, as God has spoken with him.
24 Abhurahama akanga ava namakore makumi mapfumbamwe namapfumbamwe okuberekwa paakadzingiswa,
And Abraham [is] a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
25 uye Ishumaeri mwanakomana wake akanga ava namakore gumi namatatu okuberekwa;
and his son Ishmael [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
26 Abhurahama naIshumaeri mwanakomana wake vakadzingiswa vose zuva rimwe chete iroro.
in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;
27 Uye munhurume wose aiva mumba maAbhurahama, kusanganisa vaya vakaberekerwa mumba make kana vakanga vatengwa kubva kuvatorwa, vakadzingiswa pamwe chete naye.
and all the men of his house—born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger—have been circumcised with him.
