Genesis 17

1 At nang si Abram ay may siyam na pu't siyam na taon, ay napakita ang Panginoon kay Abram, at sa kaniya'y nagsabi, Ako ang Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat lumakad ka sa harapan ko, at magpakasakdal ka.

When Abram was 99, the Lord appeared to him and told him, “I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and don't do wrong.

2 At ako'y makikipagtipan sa iyo at ikaw ay aking pararamihing mainam.

I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”

3 At nagpatirapa si Abram: at ang Dios ay nakipagusap sa kaniya, na sinasabi,

Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God told him,

4 Tungkol sa akin, narito, ang aking tipan ay sumasaiyo, at ikaw ang magiging ama ng maraming bansa.

“Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,

5 At hindi na tatawagin ang pangalan mong Abram, kundi Abraham ang magiging iyong pangalan; sapagka't ikaw ay ginawa kong ama ng maraming bansa.

so your name won't be Abram any longer. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I'm going to make you the father of many nations.

6 At ikaw ay aking gagawing totoong palaanakin at papanggagalingin ko sa iyo ang mga bansa; at magbubuhat sa iyo ang mga hari.

I will make sure you have a large number of descendants. They will become many nations, and some of their kings will also come from your line.

7 At aking papagtitibayin ang aking tipan sa iyo at sa iyong binhi pagkamatay mo sa buong kalahian nila, na tipang walang hanggan, na ako'y magiging iyong Dios, at ng iyong binhi, pagkamatay mo.

I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.

8 At ibibigay ko sa iyo, at sa iyong binhi, pagkamatay mo, ang lupaing iyong mga pinaglakbayan, ang buong lupain ng Canaan, na pag-aaring walang hanggan at ako ang magiging Dios nila.

I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”

9 At sinabi pa ng Dios kay Abraham, At tungkol sa iyo, iingatan mo ang aking tipan, iingatan mo at ng iyong binhi pagkamatay mo, sa buong kalahian nila.

Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.

10 Ito ang aking tipan na inyong iingatan sa akin at sa inyo, at ng iyong binhi, pagkamatay mo; tutuliin ang bawa't lalake sa inyo.

This is my agreement with you and your descendants who come after you, the agreement you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised.

11 At kayo'y tutuliin sa laman ng inyong balat ng masama; at ito ang magiging tanda ng aking tipan sa inyo.

You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.

12 At ang may walong araw ay tutuliin sa inyo, ang bawa't lalake sa buong kalahian ninyo; ang ipinanganak sa bahay, o ang binili ng salapi sa sinomang taga ibang lupa na hindi sa iyong lahi.

From now and for all generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. This includes not only your sons but also those born in your household or bought from foreigners.

13 Ang ipinanganak sa bahay at ang binili ng iyong salapi, ay dapat tuliin: at ang aking tipan ay sasa iyong laman na pinakatipang walang hanggan.

You must circumcise those born in your household or bought from foreigners as a sign in your bodies of my eternal agreement.

14 At ang lalaking hindi tuli, na hindi tinuli ang laman ng kaniyang balat ng masama, ang taong yaon ay mahihiwalay sa kaniyang bayan; sinira niya ang aking tipan.

Any uncircumcised male who refuses circumcision will be excluded from his people because he has broken my agreement.”

15 At sinabi ng Dios kay Abraham, Tungkol kay Sarai na iyong asawa, ay huwag mo nang tatawagin ang kaniyang pangalang Sarai, kundi Sara ang magiging kaniyang pangalan.

Then God told Abraham, “Now about Sarai your wife. Don't call her Sarai any longer. Instead, her name will be Sarah.

16 At akin siyang pagpapalain, at saka sa kaniya'y bibigyan kita ng anak: oo, siya'y aking pagpapalain, at magiging ina ng mga bansa; ang mga hari ng mga bayan ay magmumula sa kaniya.

I will bless her and I promise to give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations, and kings will be among her descendants.”

17 Nang magkagayo'y nagpatirapa si Abraham, at nagtawa, at nasabi sa kaniyang sarili, Magkakaanak kaya siya na may isang daang taon na? at manganak pa kaya si Sara na may siyam na pung taon na?

Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground. But inside he was laughing, asking himself, “How on earth could I have a son at the age of one hundred? How could Sarah have a child when she is ninety?”

18 At sinabi ni Abraham sa Dios, Kahimanawari, si Ismael ay mabuhay sa harapan mo!

Abraham said to God, “May Ishmael always live under your blessing!”

19 At sinabi ng Dios, Hindi, kundi ang iyong asawang si Sara ay magkakaanak sa iyo; at tatawagin mo ang kaniyang ngalang Isaac; at aking pagtitibayin ang aking tipan sa kaniya ng pinakatipang walang hanggan, sa kaniyang lahi pagkamatay niya.

“No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement.

20 At tungkol kay Ismael, ay dininig din kita. Narito't aking pinagpala siya, at siya'y aking papagaanakin ng marami, at siya'y aking pararamihin ng di kawasa; labing dalawang prinsipe ang kaniyang magiging anak, at siya'y gagawin kong malaking bansa.

Now about Ishmael. I heard what you said, and I will also bless him. I will make sure he has a great many descendants. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.

21 Nguni't ang aking tipan ay pagtitibayin ko kay Isaac na iaanak sa iyo ni Sara, sa tadhanang araw, sa taong darating.

But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”

22 At nang matapos na makipagusap sa kaniya, ay napaitaas ang Dios mula sa piling ni Abraham.

When God had finished speaking with Abraham he left him.

23 At ipinagsama ni Abraham si Ismael, na kaniyang anak, at ang lahat na ipinanganak sa kaniyang bahay, at ang lahat ng binili niya ng kaniyang salapi, ang lahat ng lalake sa mga lalaking kasangbahay ni Abraham, at tinuli ang laman ng kanilang balat ng masama ng araw ding yaon, ayon sa sinabi ng Dios sa kaniya.

That day Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael as well as all those born in his household or purchased, in fact every male among the members of Abraham's household, just as God had told him.

24 At si Abraham ay may siyam na pu't siyam na taon, nang tuliin ang laman ng kaniyang balat ng masama.

Abraham was 99 when he was circumcised,

25 At si Ismael ay may labing tatlong taon, nang tuliin ang laman ng kaniyang balat ng masama.

and his son Ishmael was thirteen.

26 Nang araw ding yaon tinuli si Abraham, at si Ismael na kaniyang anak.

Both Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.

27 At lahat ng lalaking kasangbahay niya, maging ang mga ipinanganak sa bahay, at ang mga binili ng salapi sa taga ibang lupain, ay pinagtuling kasama niya.

All the males in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or purchased from foreigners, were circumcised with him.
