1 Mose 17
1 Abram dii mfeɛ aduɔkron nkron no, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no kaa sɛ, “Mene Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn, nante mʼanim na yɛ pɛ.
Forsothe aftir that Abram bigan to be of nynti yeer and nyne, the Lord apperide to hym, and seide to him, Y am Almyyti God; go thou bifore me, and be thou perfit;
2 Mɛsi apam a ɛda me ne wo ntam no so dua, na mama wʼasefoɔ adɔɔso.”
and Y schal sette my couenaunt of pees bitwixe me and thee; and Y schal multiplie thee ful greetli.
3 Abram de nʼanim butuu fam, na Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
And Abram felde doun lowe on his face.
4 “Me fa mu deɛ, saa apam yi na ɛda me ne wo ntam: wobɛyɛ aman bebree agya.
And God seide to hym, Y am, and my couenaunt of pees is with thee, and thou schalt be the fadir of many folkis;
5 Wɔremfrɛ wo Abram bio. Wɔbɛfrɛ wo Abraham, ɛfiri sɛ, mayɛ wo aman bebree agya.
and thi name schal no more be clepid Abram, but thou schalt be clepid Abraham, for Y haue maad thee fadir of many folkis;
6 Mɛma wʼasefoɔ adɔɔso. Wɔbɛyɛ amanaman bebree na ahemfo nso afiri wɔn mu.
and Y schal make thee to wexe ful greetli, and Y schal sette thee in folkis, and kyngis schulen go out of thee;
7 Mɛma mʼapam no ayɛ daapem apam a ɛbɛda me ne wo ne wʼasefoɔ ne awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no ntam. Na mɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ Onyankopɔn.
and Y schal make my couenaunt bitwixe me and thee, and bitwixe thi seed after thee, in her generaciouns, bi euerlastynge bond of pees, that Y be thi God, and of thi seed after thee;
8 Mede Kanaan asase a ɛnnɛ wote so sɛ ɔhɔhoɔ no nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefoɔ a wɔbɛba akyire no nyinaa. Ɛbɛyɛ asase a ɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ afebɔɔ. Na mɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.”
and Y schal yyue to thee and to thi seed after thee the lond of thi pilgrymage, al the lond of Chanaan, in to euerlastynge possessioun, and Y schal be the God of hem.
9 Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Wo deɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ ne wʼasefoɔ a wɔbɛba akyire no di mʼapam no so.
God seide eft to Abraham, And therfor thou schalt kepe my couenaunt, and thi seed after thee, in her generaciouns.
10 Yei ne mʼapam a ɛda me ne wo ntam a ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ ne wʼasefoɔ a wɔbɛba akyire no di so. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa ɔbarima biara twetia.
This is my couenaunt, which ye schulen kepe bitwixe me and you, and thi seed after thee; ech male kynde of you schal be circumcidid,
11 Ɛsɛ sɛ motwa twetia. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛda me ne mo ntam no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ.
and ye schulen circumside the fleisch of youre mannes yeerd, that it be in to a signe of boond of pees bytwixe me and you.
12 Ɔbarima biara a ɔyɛ wʼaseni a wɔbɛwo no no, ɔdi nnawɔtwe pɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no twetia. Nkoa a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ wo fie ne ɔnanani biara a woyii sika tɔɔ no firii ɔmamfrani nkyɛn a ɔnyɛ wʼaseni no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no twetia saa ara.
A yong child of eiyte daies schal be circumsidid in you, al male kynde in youre generaciouns, as wel a borun seruaunt as a seruaunt bouyt schal be circumsidid, and who euere is of youre kynrede he schal be circumsidid;
13 Sɛ wɔwoo no wo fie oo, sɛ nso, wokarii sika kɔtɔɔ no oo, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no twetia. Saa honam mu apam yi bɛyɛ daapem apam.
and my couenaunt schal be in youre fleisch in to euerlastynge boond of pees.
14 Wɔbɛpam ɔbarima biara a wɔntwaa no twetia no afiri ne nkurɔfoɔ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, saa onipa no anni mʼapam no so.”
A man whos fleisch of his yerde schal not be circumsidid, thilke man schal be doon a wei fro his puple; for he made voide my couenaunt.
15 Onyankopɔn sane ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, “Ɛfa wo yere Sarai ho nso, ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekɔ, woremfrɛ no Sarai bio. Wobɛfrɛ no Sara.
Also God seide to Abraham, Thou schalt not clepe Saray, thi wijf, Sarai, but Sara;
16 Mɛhyira no, na mɛma no awo ɔbabarima ama wo. Mɛhyira no ma wabɛyɛ aman nyinaa maame. Nʼasefoɔ mu na amanaman mu ahemfo bɛfiri.”
and Y schal blesse hir, and of hir I schal yyue to thee a sone, whom I schal blesse, and he schal be in to naciouns, and kyngis of puplis schulen be borun of hym.
17 Abraham de nʼanim butuu fam bio. Ɔsere bisaa ne ho sɛ, “Ɛbɛtumi aba sɛ ɔbarima a wadi mfeɛ ɔha bɛwo ɔba anaa? Sara nso a wadi mfeɛ aduɔkron no nso, ɔbɛtumi awo ɔba anaa?”
Abraham felde doun on his face, and leiyede in his hert, and seide, Gessist thou, whethir a sone schal be borun to a man of an hundrid yeer, and Sara of nynti yeer schal bere child?
18 Na Abraham ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ, “Ao, Onyankopɔn ɛnneɛ, hyira Ismael!”
And he seide to the Lord, Y wolde that Ismael lyue bifore thee.
19 Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Mmom, wo yere Sara bɛwo ɔbabarima ama wo, na wobɛto no edin Isak, a aseɛ ne Sereɛ. Me ne no bɛyɛ daapem apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ ama nʼasefoɔ a wɔbɛba akyire no nyinaa.
And the Lord seide to Abraham, Sara, thi wijf, schal bere a sone to thee, and thou schalt clepe his name Ysaac, and Y schal make my couenaunt to hym in to euerlastynge boond of pees, and to his seed aftir hym;
20 Na Ismael ho asɛm a wokaeɛ no nso, mate. Mɛhyira no ama nʼase adɔre bebree. Ɔbɛyɛ aberempɔn dumienu agya. Na mɛma no ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.
also on Ysmael Y haue herd thee, lo! Y schal blesse him, and Y schal encreesse, and Y schal multiplie him greetli; he schal gendre twelue dukis, and Y schal make hym in to a greet folk.
21 Nanso, me ne Isak a Sara bɛwo no, afe sɛsɛɛ no, na ɛbɛyɛ mʼapam no.”
Forsothe Y schal make my couenaunt to Ysaac, whom Sare schal childe to thee in this tyme in the tother yeer.
22 Onyankopɔn kasa kyerɛɛ Abraham wieeɛ no, ɔgyaa no hɔ kɔeɛ.
And whanne the word of the spekere with hym was endid, God stiede fro Abraham.
23 Saa ɛda no ara, Abraham faa ne babarima Ismael ne mmarima a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ ne fie ne mmarima a wɔtɔɔ wɔn firii ananafoɔ nkyɛn, twitwaa wɔn nyinaa twetia, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no.
Forsothe Abraham took Ismael, his sone, and alle the borun seruauntis of his hous, and alle which he hadde bouyte, alle the malis of alle men of his hous, and circumsidide the fleisch of her yerde, anoon in that dai, as the Lord comaundide him.
24 Wɔtwaa Abraham twetia no, na wadi mfeɛ aduɔkron nkron.
Abraham was of nynti yeer and nyne whanne he circumsidide the fleisch of his yeerd,
25 Ne babarima Ismael nso, wɔtwaa no twetia no, na wadi mfeɛ dumiɛnsa.
and Ismael, his sone, hadde fillid threttene yeer in the tyme of his circumsicioun.
26 Saa ɛda no ara, na wɔtwaa Abraham ne ne ba Ismael nyinaa twetia.
Abraham was circumsidid in the same day, and Ismael his sone,
27 Ɔbarima biara a ɔwɔ Abraham fie, wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ Abraham fie ne ɔbarima biara a wɔtɔɔ no firii ɔnanani bi nkyɛn no, wɔtwitwaa wɔn nyinaa twetia, kaa Abraham ho.
and alle men of his hows, as wel borun seruauntis as bouyt and aliens, weren circumcidid togidre.
