Genesis 17
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.
Mgbe Ebram gbara iri afọ itoolu na itoolu, Onyenwe anyị gosiri ya onwe ya sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Jegharịa ije nʼihu m, bụrụ onye na-enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla.
2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ m dịrị nʼetiti mụ na gị, mekwa ka ị mụbaa nke ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ.”
3 Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,
Ebram dara nʼala, kpudo ihu ya nʼala. Chineke gwara ya sị,
4 “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
“Lee, nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na gị. Ị ga-abụ nna ọtụtụ mba.
5 Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
Aha gị agaghị abụkwa Ebram, kama ọ ga-abụ Ebraham, nʼihi na emeela m gị nna nke ọtụtụ mba.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
Aga m eme gị ka ị mụbaa nke ukwuu. Aga m eme ka ị ghọọ ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị eze ga-esitekwa na gị pụta.
7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na gị gbara guzosie ike, ka ọ dịkwara ụmụ ụmụ ndị ga-esote gị nʼọgbọ niile na-abịa. Ọ bụ ọgbụgba ndụ na-egosi na m bụ Chineke gị, na Chineke ụmụ ụmụ gị niile ga-eso gị.
8 I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”
Ala Kenan niile, ebe ị nọ ugbu a dịka ọbịa ka m ga-enye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-esote gị dịka ihe nketa ebighị ebi. Aga m abụ Chineke ha.”
9 God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
Chineke gwara Ebraham okwu sị ya, “Ma nʼebe ị nọ, ị ghaghị irube isi imezu ihe ọgbụgba ndụ m kwuru, gị onwe gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị, ruo ọgbọ niile.
10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.
Nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị, ọgbụgba ndụ nke unu na-aghaghị idebe. A ga-ebi nwoke ọbụla nʼetiti unu ugwu.
11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
A ga-ebi unu ugwu, bipụ elu ahụ nke anụ ahụ unu. Nke a ga-abụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na unu.
12 He who is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring.
Nʼoge ọ gbara mkpụrụ ụbọchị asatọ, unu ga-ebi nwoke ọbụla nʼagbụrụ unu ugwu: ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ, maọbụ ndị eji ego zụta site nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ, ndị na-esighị na mkpụrụ nke afọ gị.
13 He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
A ga-ebi ha niile ugwu. Ma a mụrụ ha nʼezinaụlọ gị ma i ji ego zụta ha site nʼaka onye mba ọzọ. Ọgbụgba ndụ m nke ga-apụta ihe nʼanụ ahụ gị bụ ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi.
14 The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”
Nwoke ọbụla a na-ebighị ugwu nke anụ ahụ ka a ga-ebipụ site nʼetiti ụmụnna ya. Nʼihi na o mehiela megide ọgbụgba ndụ m.”
15 God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
Chineke gwakwara Ebraham sị, “Ma nʼebe Serai nwunye gị nọ, ị gaghị akpọkwa ya Serai ọzọ, kama aha ya ga-abụ Sera.
16 I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”
Aga m agọzi ya, sitekwa na ya nye gị nwa nwoke. Aga m agọzi ya ruo na ọ ga-abụ nne nke ọtụtụ mba. Ndị eze ga-achị ọtụtụ mmadụ ga-esite na ya pụta.”
17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”
Ebraham dara kpuo ihu nʼala, chịakwa ọchị nʼobi ya sị, “Ọ bụ onye gbara narị afọ ka a ga-amụrụ nwa? Sera, onye gbara iri afọ itoolu ọ ga-amụ nwa?”
18 Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
Ebraham gwara Chineke sị, “A sịkwa na ị ga-ekwe mee ka Ishmel bụrụ onye dị ndụ nʼihu gị.”
19 God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.
Ma Chineke zara sị ya, “Ee, kama Sera nwunye gị ga-amụtara gị nwa nwoke. Ị ga-agụ ya Aịzik. Ọgbụgba ndụ m ga-adịkwara ya na agbụrụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
Ma banyere Ishmel, anụla m ihe i kwuru. Aga m agọzi ya mee ya ka ọ baa ụba ma dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ọ ga-aghọ nna ndị eze iri na abụọ. Aga m eme ya ka ọ ghọọ mba dị ukwuu.
21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”
Ma ọgbụgba ndụ m ka m ga-eme ka o guzosie ike nʼebe Aịzik nọ, onye Sera ga-amụtara gị nʼoge dịka ugbu a nʼafọ ọzọ.”
22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
Mgbe ọ gwasịrị Ebraham okwu, Chineke si nʼebe ọ nọ pụọ.
23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money: every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Ebraham duuru Ishmel nwa ya nwoke, na ndị ikom niile a mụrụ nʼezinaụlọ ya, tinyere ndị e ji ego zụta, ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya, bie ha ugwu dịka Chineke gwara ya ka ọ mee.
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ebraham gbara iri afọ itoolu na itoolu mgbe e biri ya ugwu,
25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ishmel nwa ya gbara afọ iri na atọ.
26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
E biri Ebraham na nwa ya bụ Ishmel ugwu nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ.
27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
Ndị ikom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ Ebraham, ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ ya na ndị e si nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ zụta ka e biri ugwu nʼoge Ebraham biri ugwu.
