Mwanzo 17
1 Abramu alipokuwa na miaka tisini na tisa, Bwana akamtokea akamwambia, “Mimi ndimi Mungu Mwenyezi; enenda mbele zangu na uishi kwa unyofu.
When Abram was nynetye yere olde and ix. the LORde apeared to hym sayenge: I am the almyghtie God: walke before me ad be vncorrupte.
2 Nami nitafanya Agano langu kati yangu na wewe, nami nitakuzidisha sana sana.”
And I wyll make my bonde betwene the and me and wyll multiplye the excedyngly.
3 Abramu akaanguka kifudifudi, naye Mungu akamwambia,
And Abra fell on his face. And God talked moreover with hym saynge:
4 “Kwa upande wangu, hili ndilo Agano langu na wewe: Wewe utakuwa baba wa mataifa mengi.
I am beholde my testamet is with the that thou shalt be a father of many natios.
5 Jina lako hutaitwa tena Abramu, bali jina lako litakuwa Abrahamu, kwa maana nimekufanya wewe baba wa mataifa mengi.
Therfore shalt thou no more be called Abram but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made the
6 Nitakufanya uwe na uzao mwingi sana, kwako yatatoka mataifa nao wafalme watatoka kwako.
and I will multiplye the excedyngly and wyll make nations of the: yee and kynges shall sprynge out of the.
7 Nitalithibitisha Agano langu kama Agano la milele kati yangu na wewe na wazao wako baada yako na vizazi vijavyo niwe Mungu wako na Mungu wa wazao wako.
Moreover I will make my bonde betwene me and the and thy seed after the in their tymes to be an everlastynge testament So that I wyll be God vnto the and to thy seed after the.
8 Nchi yote ya Kanaani, unakoishi sasa kama mgeni, nitakupa kuwa milki yako milele, na uzao wako, nami nitakuwa Mungu wao.”
And I will geue vnto the ad to thy seed after the the lande where in thou arte a straunger: Euen all the lande of Canaan for an everlastynge possession and wil be their God.
9 Ndipo Mungu akamwambia Abrahamu, “Kwa upande wako, lazima ushike Agano langu, wewe na wazao wako kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo.
And God sayde vnto Abraha: Se thou kepe my testamente both thou and thy seed after the in their tymes:
10 Hili ni Agano langu na wewe pamoja na wazao wako baada yako, Agano mtakalolishika: Kila mwanaume miongoni mwenu atatahiriwa.
This is my testamente which ye shall kepe betwene me and you and thy seed after the that ye circucyse all youre men childern ye shall circumcyse
11 Mtafanyiwa tohara na hii itakuwa ni alama ya Agano kati yangu na ninyi.
the foreskynne of youre flesh ad it shal be a token of the bond betwixte me and you.
12 Kwa vizazi vijavyo, kila mwanaume miongoni mwenu mwenye siku nane ni lazima atahiriwe, pamoja na watakaozaliwa nyumbani mwako au walionunuliwa kwa fedha kutoka kwa mgeni, wale ambao sio watoto wako.
And euery manchilde when it is viij. dayes olde shal be circucysed amonge you in youre generations and all servauntes also borne at home or boughte with money though they be straungers and not of thy seed.
13 Awe amezaliwa nyumbani mwako au amenunuliwa kwa fedha yako, ni lazima watahiriwe. Agano langu katika mwili wako litakuwa ni Agano la milele.
The seruaunte borne in thy housse ad he also that is bought with money must needes be circumcysed that my testament may be in youre flesh for an everlastinge bonde.
14 Kila mwanaume asiyetahiriwa, ambaye hajapata tohara ya mwilini, atatengwa na watu wake, amelivunja Agano langu.”
Yf there be any vncircuncysed manchilde that hath not the forskynne of his flesh cutt of his soule shall perish from his people: because he hath broke my testamet
15 Pia Bwana akamwambia Abrahamu, “Kwa upande wa Sarai mkeo, hutamwita tena Sarai bali jina lake litakuwa Sara.
And God sayde vnto Abraham. Sarai thy wyfe shall nomore be called Sarai: but Sara shall hir name be.
16 Nitambariki na hakika nitakupatia mwana kwake. Nitambariki na kwamba atakuwa mama wa mataifa, wafalme wa mataifa watatoka kwake.”
For I will blesse her and geue the a sonne of her and will blesse her: so that people ye and kynges of people shall springe of her.
17 Abrahamu akaanguka kifudifudi, akacheka na kusema moyoni mwake, “Je, mtu wa miaka mia moja aweza kuzaa mwana? Je, Sara atazaa mtoto katika umri wa miaka tisini?”
And Abraham fell vpon his face ad laughte and sayd in his harte: shall a childe be borne vnto hym that is an hundred yere olde ad shall Sara that is nynetie yere olde bere?
18 Abrahamu akamwambia Mungu, “Laiti Ishmaeli naye angeshiriki baraka yako!”
And Abraha sayde vnto God. O that Ismaell myghte lyve in thy syghte.
19 Ndipo Mungu akasema, “Ndiyo, lakini mkeo Sara atakuzalia wewe mwana, nawe utamwita jina lake Isaki. Nitalithibitisha Agano langu naye kama Agano la milele kwa ajili yake na wazao wake baada yake.
The sayde God: na Sara thy wife shall bere the a sonne ad thou shalt call his name Isaac. And I will make my bonde with him that it shall be an everlastynge bonde vnto his seed after him.
20 Kwa upande wa Ishmaeli, nimekusikia: hakika nitambariki, nitamfanya awe na uzao mwingi na nitaongeza sana idadi yake. Atakuwa baba wa watawala kumi na wawili, nami nitamfanya awe taifa kubwa.
And as concernynge Ismaell also I haue herde thy request: loo I will blesse him and encrease him and multiplye him excedyingly. Twelve prynces shall be begete and I will make a great nation of him.
21 Lakini Agano langu nitalithibitisha kwa Isaki, ambaye Sara atakuzalia mwaka ujao majira kama haya.”
But my bonde will I make with Isaac which Sara shall bere vnto the: even this tyme twelue moneth.
22 Wakati alipomaliza kuzungumza na Abrahamu, Mungu akapanda juu akaondoka kwa Abrahamu.
And God left of talkynge with him and departed vp from Abraham.
23 Siku ile ile, Abrahamu akamchukua Ishmaeli mwanawe na wote waliozaliwa nyumbani mwake pamoja na walionunuliwa kwa fedha zake, kila mwanaume wa nyumbani mwake, akawatahiri, kama Mungu alivyomwagiza.
And Abraham toke Ismaell his sonne and all the servauntes borne in his housse and all that was bought with money as many as were menchildren amonge the me of Abrahas housse and circumcysed the foreskynne of their flesh even the selfe same daye as God had sayde vnto him.
24 Abrahamu alikuwa na umri wa miaka tisini na tisa alipotahiriwa,
Abraham was nynetie yere olde and. ix. when he cutt of the foreskynne of his flesh.
25 naye Ishmaeli mwanawe alitahiriwa akiwa na umri wa miaka kumi na mitatu.
And Ismaell his sonne was. xiij. yere olde when the foreskynne of hys flesh was circumcysed.
26 Abrahamu na Ishmaeli mwanawe walitahiriwa siku ile ile,
The selfe same daye was Abraha circucised and Ismael his sonne.
27 Kila mwanaume nyumbani mwa Abrahamu, pamoja na wote waliozaliwa nyumbani mwake au aliyenunuliwa kwa fedha kutoka kwa mgeni, alitahiriwa pamoja naye.
And all the men in his housse whether they were borne in his housse or bought wyth money (though they were straungers) were circumcysed with him.
