< 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.
Naho ni-sivampolo taoñe sive’ amby t’i Avrame le niboak’ amy Avrame t’Iehovà nanao ama’e ty hoe, Zaho i El-Saday; mañaveloa añatrefako an-kalio-tahiñe,
2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
le hifanao fañina, ihe naho Zaho, hampahatsifotofoto azo.
3 Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,
Nibabok’ an-dahara’e t’i Avrame; naho nifanaontsy ama’e t’i Andrianañahare,
4 “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
Naho zaho, inao, ty ifañinako ama’o: Ho rae’ ty foko maro rehe.
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.
Le tsy hatao Avrame ka ty añara’o, fa Avrahame ty ho tahina’o amy te hanoeko raem-poko tsiefa.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
Hampibodobodoeko naho hanoeko rofoko maro, vaho mpanjaka maro ty hiboak’ ama’o.
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.
Le hajadoko añivoko naho ihe naho ze hene tiry manonjohy azo, tariratse an-tariratse, ty fañinako, ho fañina nai­nai’e, le ho Andrianañahare’o naho amo tarira’o manonjohy azoo.
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.”
Le hatoloko azo naho o tariratse manonjohio ty tane ambahinie’o henaneo, naho ty tane Kanàne iaby ho fanaña’o nainai’e vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo raho.
9 God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
Hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Avrahame, Aa le hitañe ty fañinako rehe, ihe naho o tarira’oo naho ze hene hanonjohio.
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.
Intoy ty fañinako ho vonti­tire’areo añivoko naho ihe vaho o tariratse hanonjohy azoo te songa ho savareñe ze lahilahy ama’areo.
11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
Ho tampahe’ areo ty ofo’areo; izay ty ho vilo’ i fañina añivo anahareo naho zahoy.
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.
Ho savareñe ami’ty andro fahavalo’ ze lahilahy amo tarira’o iabio, ty nisamak’ añ’ anjomba’ areo ao, naho ty vinily drala amo ambahiny tsy tiri’oo.
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.
Tsy mete tsy songa savareñe ze nitoly añ’ anjomba’o ao ndra vinilin-drala’o; fa ho vilom-pañinako nainai’e ami’ty nofo’ areo.
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.”
Ze lahilahy tsy afa-boy, tsy tinampak’ofoke, le haitoañe amo longo’eo indatiy, amy te nivalik’ amy fañinakoy.
15 God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
Hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Avrahame, Aa naho i Sarae vali’o, tsy hatao’o Sarae ka ty añara’e fa Sarà ty ho tahina’e.
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.”
Hampanintsiñeko re naho ho meako anadahy ama’e rehe. Toe ho tahieko, le hahatoly foko maro re, vaho mpanjakam-poko maro ro hiboak’ ama’e.
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?”
Nibabok’ an-dahara’e amy zao t’i Avrahame naho nian­kahake, nanao ty hoe an-tro’e ao, Hisamak’ anake hao ty fa zato taoñe? Hahatoly anake hao t’i Sarà, ie sivam­­polo taoñe?
18 Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
Le hoe t’i Avrahame amy Andrianañahare, Ee te ho veloñe añatrefa’o t’Iesmaèle.
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.
Hoe t’i Andrianañahare, Aiy! toe hisamak’ anake ho azo t’i Sarà vali’o naho hatao’o Ietsàke ty añara’e, vaho horizako ama’e i fañinakoy ho fañina nainai’e tsy modo ho aze naho o tarira’e hanonjohy azeo.
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.
Le ty am’ Iesmaèle, fa tsinanoko rehe; ho tahieko naho hampirao­raoeko ho tsifotofoto o tarira’eo; hisamak’ ana-donake folo ro’ amby re vaho hanoeko foko ra’elahy.
21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”
Fe Ietsàke ty hañorizako i fañinakoy, ie ho samahe’ i Sarà ami’ty andro nifantañeñe toy ami’ty taoñe manonjohy.
22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
Ie nagado’e i nitsara’ey, le nienga i Avrahame t’i Andrianañahare.
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.
Aa le rinambe’ i Avrahame ty ana­dahi’e Iesmaèle rekets’ o naterak’ añ’an­jom­ba’eo naho o vinili’e an-drala’eo naho ze lahilahy añ’ anjomba’ i Avrahame ao vaho tinampa’e amy andro ni­tsaraen’ Añaharey ty ofo’iareo.
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ni-sivampolo sive-amby taoñe t’i Avrahame te sinavatse ty nofo’ i ofo’ey.
25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Ni-folo telo-amby taoñe ka t’Iesmaèle te tinampake ty nofo’ i ofo’ey.
26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
Sambe sinavatse amy àndroy avao t’i Avrahame naho Iesmaèle ana’e,
27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
songa nindre sinavatse ama’e ze lahilahy añ’ anjomba’e naho ze nitoly añ’ anjomba’e ao vaho ze vinili-drala ami’ty ambahiny.
