Mwanzo 17
1 Wakati Abram alipokuwa na umri wa miaka tisini na tisa, Yahwe alimtokea Abram na akamwambia, “Mimi ni Mungu wa uwezo. Uende mbele yangu, na uwe mkamilifu.
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 Kisha nitalithibitisha agano langu kati yangu mimi na wewe, na nitakuzidisha sana.
And I wyll make my bonde betwene the and me and wyll multiplye the excedyngly.
3 Abram akainama uso wake hadi chini ardhini na Mungu akazungumza naye, akisema,
And Abra fell on his face. And God talked moreover with hym saynge:
4 “Mimi, tazama, agano langu liko nawe. Utakuwa baba wa mataifa mengi.
I am beholde my testamet is with the that thou shalt be a father of many natios.
5 Wala jina lako halitakuwa tena Abram, bali jina lako litakuwa Abraham - kwa kuwa ninakuchagua kuwa 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 zaidi, na nitakufanya mataifa, na wafalme watatoka kwako.
and I will multiplye the excedyngly and wyll make nations of the: yee and kynges shall sprynge out of the.
7 Nitaimarisha agao langu kati yangu mimi na wewe na uzao wako baada yako, katika vizazi vyao vyote kwa agano la milele, nitakuwa Mungu kwako na kwa wazao wako baada yako.
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 Nitakupa wewe, na wazao wako baada yako, nchi ambayo ulikuwa unaishi, nchi yote ya Kanaani, kuwa miliki ya milele, na 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 Kisha Mungu akamwambia Abraham, “nawe lazima ulishike agano langu, wewe pamoja na uzao wako baada yako kwa vizazi vyao.
And God sayde vnto Abraha: Se thou kepe my testamente both thou and thy seed after the in their tymes:
10 Hili ndilo agano langu, ambalo utalishika, kati yangu na wewe na wazao wako baada yako: Kila mwanaume wa kwenu lazima atahiriwe.
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 Lazima mtatahiriwa katika nyama ya govi la ngozi ya mbele, na hii itakuwa ishara ya agano kati yangu mimi na ninyi.
the foreskynne of youre flesh ad it shal be a token of the bond betwixte me and you.
12 Kila mwanaume wa kwenu aliye na umri wa siku nane lazima atahiriwe, katika vizazi ya watu wenu. Hii ni pamoja na yule azaliwaye katika nyumba yako na yeye ambaye amenunuliwa kwa fedha kutoka kwa mgeni yeyote ambaye si mmoja wa wazao 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 Mtu ambaye amezaliwa katika nyumba yako na yule aliye nunuliwa kwa fedha yako lazima atahiriwe. Hivyo agano langu litakuwa katika mwili wenu kuwa 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 Mwanaume yeyote asiye tahiriwa katika mwili govi la ngozi yake ya mbele atatengwa na watu wake. Amevunja 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 Mungu akamwambia Abraham, “kwa habari ya Sarai mkeo, usimuite tena Sarai. Badala yake 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 nitakupatia mtoto wa kiume kwake. Nitambariki, na atakuwa mama wa mataifa. Wafalme wa watu wa mataifa watapatikana kutokana na yeye.
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 Kisha Abraham akainama uso wake hadi ardhini, na akacheka, akasema moyoni mwake, Je yawezekana mtoto azaliwe kwa mwanaume ambaye ana umri wa miaka miamoja? na Je Sara, ambaye ana umri wa miaka tisini anaweza kuzaa mwana?”
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 Abraham akamwambia Mungu, “Lau Ishmaeli angeweza kuishi kabla yako!”
And Abraha sayde vnto God. O that Ismaell myghte lyve in thy syghte.
19 Mungu akasema, Hapana, Sarai mkeo atakuzalia mtoto wa kiume na utamwita jina lake Isaka. Nita imarisha agano langu na yeye kama agano la milele pamoja na uzao 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 Na kwa habari ya Ishmaeli nimekusikia. Tazama, ninambariki, na nitamfanya kuwa na uzao na kumzidisha maradufu. Atakuwa baba wa viongozi kumi na mbili wa makabila, na nitamfanya kuwa taifa kuu.
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 nitalifanya imara na Isaka, ambaye Sarai atazaa kwako majira haya mwakani.”
But my bonde will I make with Isaac which Sara shall bere vnto the: even this tyme twelue moneth.
22 Alipo kuwa amemaliza kuzungumza naye, Mungu akaondoka kwa Abraham.
And God left of talkynge with him and departed vp from Abraham.
23 Kisha Abraham akamtwaa Ishmaeli mwanawe, na wote ambao walizaliwa katika nyumba yake, na wote ambao walinunuliwa kwa fedha yake, kila mwanaume miongoni mwa watu wa nyumba ya Abraham, walitahiriwa mwili wa magovi ya ngozi ya mbele katika siku iyo hiyo, kama Mungu alivyo kuwa amesema.
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 Abraham alikuwa na umri wa miaka tisini na tisa alipotahiriwa katika mwili wa govi la ngozi yake ya mbele.
Abraham was nynetie yere olde and. ix. when he cutt of the foreskynne of his flesh.
25 Na Ishmaeli mwanawe alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na tatu alipotahiriwa katika mwili wa govi la ngozi yake ya mbele.
And Ismaell his sonne was. xiij. yere olde when the foreskynne of hys flesh was circumcysed.
26 Siku ile ile ambayo wote wawili Abraham na Ishmael mwanawe walipotahiriwa, ndipo
The selfe same daye was Abraha circucised and Ismael his sonne.
27 wanaume wote wa nyumba yake walitahiriwa pia, hawa ni pamoja na wale waliozaliwa katika nyumba ile na wale walionunuliwa kwa fedha kutoka kwa mgeni.
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.
