< Genesis 17 >
1 Ní ìgbà tí Abramu di ẹni ọ̀kàndínlọ́gọ́rùn-ún ọdún, Olúwa farahàn án, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Ọlọ́run alágbára, máa rìn níwájú mi, kí o sì jẹ́ aláìlábùkù.
In truth, after he began to be ninety-nine years of age, the Lord appeared to him. And he said to him: “I am the Almighty God. Walk in my sight and become complete.
2 Èmi yóò sì fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ. Èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di púpọ̀ gidigidi.”
And I will set my covenant between me and you. And I will multiply you very exceedingly.”
3 Abramu sì dojúbolẹ̀, Ọlọ́run sì wí fún un pé.
Abram fell prone on his face.
4 “Ní ti èmi, májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ nìyí. Ìwọ yóò di baba orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀.
And God said to him: “I AM, and my covenant is with you, and you will be the father of many nations.
5 A kì yóò pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Abramu mọ́, bí kò ṣe Abrahamu, nítorí, mo ti sọ ọ́ di baba orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀.
No longer will your name be called Abram. But you will be called Abraham, for I have established you as the father of many nations.
6 Èmi yóò mú ọ bí si lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, ọ̀pọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè ni èmi yóò sì mú ti ara rẹ jáde wá, àwọn ọba pẹ̀lú yóò sì ti inú rẹ jáde.
And I will cause you to increase very greatly, and I will set you among the nations, and kings will come forth from you.
7 Èmi yóò sì gbé májẹ̀mú mi kalẹ̀ láàrín tèmi tìrẹ, ní májẹ̀mú ayérayé àti láàrín irú-ọmọ rẹ ní ìran-ìran wọn, láti máa ṣe Ọlọ́run rẹ àti ti irú-ọmọ rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and with your offspring after you in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
8 Gbogbo ilẹ̀ Kenaani níbi tí ìwọ ti ṣe àjèjì ni èmi yóò fi fún ọ àti fún irú-ọmọ rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ láéláé. Èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn.”
And I will give to you and to your offspring, the land of your sojourn, all the land of Canaan, as an eternal possession, and I will be their God.”
9 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Ìwọ máa pa májẹ̀mú mi mọ́, ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ àti àwọn ìran tí ó ń bọ̀.
Again God said to Abraham: “And you therefore shall keep my covenant, and your offspring after you in their generations.
10 Èyí ni májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ àti ìran rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ, májẹ̀mú tí ẹ̀yin yóò máa pamọ́. Gbogbo ọkùnrin yín ni a gbọdọ̀ kọ ní ilà.
This is my covenant, which you shall observe, between me and you, and your offspring after you: All the males among you shall be circumcised.
11 Ẹ̀yin yóò kọ ara yín ní ilà, èyí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì májẹ̀mú láàrín tèmi tiyín.
And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, so that it may be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
12 Ní gbogbo ìran tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn, gbogbo ọkùnrin ni a gbọdọ̀ kọ ni ilà ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ tí a bí wọn, àti àwọn tí a bí ní ilé rẹ, tàbí tí a fi owó rà lọ́wọ́ àwọn àjèjì, àwọn tí kì í ṣe ọmọ rẹ̀. Èyí yóò sì jẹ́ májẹ̀mú láéláé tí yóò wà láàrín Èmi àti irú-ọmọ rẹ.
An infant of eight days will be circumcised among you, every male in your generations. So also servants born to you, as well as those bought, shall be circumcised, even those who are not of your stock.
13 Ìbá à ṣe ẹni tí a bí nínú ilé rẹ, tàbí ẹni tí o fi owó rà, a gbọdọ̀ kọ wọ́n ní ilà; májẹ̀mú mí lára yín yóò jẹ́ májẹ̀mú ayérayé.
And my covenant shall be with your flesh as an eternal covenant.
14 Gbogbo ọmọkùnrin tí kò bá kọ ilà, tí a kò kọ ní ilà abẹ́, ni a ó gé kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, nítorí pé ó da májẹ̀mú mi.”
The male, the flesh of whose foreskin will not be circumcised, that soul shall be eliminated from his people. For he has made my covenant void.”
15 Ọlọ́run wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Ní ti Sarai, aya rẹ̀, ìwọ kì yóò pè é ní Sarai mọ́, bí kò ṣe Sara.
God said also to Abraham: “Your wife Sarai, you shall not call Sarai, but Sarah.
16 Èmi yóò bùkún fún un, èmi yóò sì fun ọ ní ọmọkùnrin kan nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀. Èmi yóò bùkún un, yóò sì di ìyá àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, àwọn ọba àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò sì ti ara rẹ̀ jáde wá.”
And I will bless her, and from her I will give you a son, whom I will bless, and he will be among the nations, and the kings of the peoples will rise from him.”
17 Abrahamu sì dojúbolẹ̀, ó rẹ́rìn-ín, ó sì wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “A ó ha bí ọmọ fún ẹni ọgọ́rùn-ún ọdún? Sara tí í ṣe ẹni àádọ́rùn-ún ọdún yóò ha bímọ bí?”
Abraham fell on his face, and he laughed, saying in his heart: “Do you think a son can be born to a one hundred year old man? And will Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”
18 Abrahamu sì wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Sá à jẹ́ kí Iṣmaeli kí ó wà láààyè lábẹ́ ìbùkún rẹ.”
And he said to God, “If only Ishmael would live in your sight.”
19 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Mo gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n Sara aya rẹ̀ yóò bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún ọ, ìwọ yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Isaaki, èmi yóò fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ní májẹ̀mú ayérayé àti àwọn irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.
And God said to Abraham: “Your wife Sarah shall give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him as a perpetual covenant, and with his offspring after him.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti Iṣmaeli, mo gbọ́ ohun tí ìwọ wí, èmi yóò bùkún fún un nítòótọ́, èmi ó sì mú un bí sí i, yóò sì pọ̀ sí i, òun yóò sì jẹ́ baba fún àwọn ọmọ ọba méjìlá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá.
Likewise, concerning Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I will bless and enlarge him, and I will multiply him greatly. He will produce twelve leaders, and I will make him into a great nation.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Isaaki, ẹni tí Sara yóò bí fún ọ ni ìwòyí àmọ́dún.”
Yet in truth, I will establish my covenant with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth for you at this time next year.”
22 Nígbà tí ó ti bá Abrahamu sọ̀rọ̀ tán, Ọlọ́run sì gòkè lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
And when he had finished speaking with him, God ascended from Abraham.
23 Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni Abrahamu mú Iṣmaeli ọmọ rẹ̀ àti àwọn ẹrú tí a bí ní ilé rẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ó fi owó rà, ó sì kọ wọ́n ní ilà. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì kọ gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ń bẹ ní ilé rẹ̀ ní ilà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Ọlọ́run.
Then Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all who were born in his house, and all whom he had bought, every male among the men of his house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin promptly, the very same day, just as God had instructed him.
24 Abrahamu jẹ́ ẹni ọ̀kàndínlọ́gọ́rùn-ún ọdún nígbà tí a kọ ọ́ ní ilà.
Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.
25 Iṣmaeli ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́tàlá.
And his son Ishmael had completed thirteen years at the time of his circumcision.
26 Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni a kọ Abrahamu ní ilà pẹ̀lú Iṣmaeli ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin.
On the very same day, Abraham was circumcised with his son Ishmael.
27 Àti gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ó wà ní ilé Abrahamu, ìbá à ṣe èyí tí a bí ní ilé rẹ̀ tàbí èyí tí a fi owó rà lọ́wọ́ àlejò ni a kọ ní ilà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And all the men of his house, those born in his house, as well as those who were bought, even the foreigners, were circumcised with him.
