Genesis 17
1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Aburamu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo kenda na kenda-rĩ, Jehova nĩamuumĩrĩire, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũrungu Mwene-Hinya-Wothe; tũũra ũnjathĩkagĩra, na ũtarĩ na ũcuuke.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
Na niĩ nĩngũtũũria kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa nawe, na nĩngaingĩhia mũigana waku mũno.”
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
Aburamu agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ, nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations.
“Hakwa-rĩ, gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa nawe: Wee nĩũgatuĩka ithe wa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
Ndũgũcooka gwĩtwo Aburamu; ũrĩĩtagwo Iburahĩmu, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũtuĩte ithe wa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Nĩngũtũma ũciare mũno; na ndũme ũtuĩke ithe wa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, nao athamaki nĩmakoima thĩinĩ waku.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
Nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa kĩrĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene gatagatĩ gakwa nawe na njiaro ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku, na nginya njiarwa ciaku cia thuutha, nĩguo nduĩke Ngai waku na Ngai wa njiaro iria igooka thuutha waku.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Nĩngakũhe bũrũri ũyũ wothe wa Kaanani, kũrĩa ũrĩ mũgeni rĩu, ũtũũre ũrĩ igai rĩaku na rĩa njiaro ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku; na nĩngatuĩka Ngai wao.”
9 And God said unto Abraham, And as for thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations.
Ningĩ Ngai agĩcooka akĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, no nginya ũmenyagĩrĩre kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa, wee na njiaro iria igooka thuutha waku, harĩ njiarwa na njiarwa iria igooka.
10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.
Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa nawe na njiaro iria igooka thuutha waku, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ũrĩmenyagĩrĩra: Arũme othe thĩinĩ wanyu nĩmarĩruaga.
11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt me and you.
Mũrĩruaga nĩguo ũndũ ũcio ũtuĩke kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa nawe.
12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner that is not of thy seed.
Harĩ njiarwa iria igooka thuutha, mũndũ mũrũme wothe thĩinĩ wanyu no nginya arue arĩ na ũkũrũ wa thikũ inyanya, kũrutia arĩa maciarĩtwo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yaku kana arĩa magũrĩtwo na mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ andũ a kũngĩ-arĩa matarĩ a rũciaro rwaku.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Mũndũ ũcio, wagũciarĩrwo nyũmba-inĩ yaku kana wakũgũrwo na mbeeca ciaku-rĩ, no nginya arue. Kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa kĩa mĩĩrĩ yanyu gĩgũtuĩka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene.
14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
Mũndũ mũrũme wothe ũtarĩ mũruu, ũrĩa ũtaruithĩtio mwĩrĩ wake-rĩ, nĩakeherio harĩ andũ ao; ũcio ndahingĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa.”
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Ha ũhoro wa Sarai mũtumia waku-rĩ, ndũgũcooka kũmwĩta Sarai; arĩĩtagwo Sara.
16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother of] nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.
Nĩngũmũrathima, na ti-itherũ nĩngũkũhe mwana wa kahĩĩ ũciarĩirwo nĩwe. Nĩngũmũrathima nĩguo atuĩke nyina wa ndũrĩrĩ; athamaki a ndũrĩrĩ makoima harĩwe.”
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
Iburahĩmu agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ, agĩcooka agĩtheka, akĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩ na mĩaka igana nĩegũciara mwana wa kahĩĩ? Sara no aciare mwana arĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo kenda?”
18 And Abraham said unto God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!
Nake Iburahĩmu akĩĩra Ngai atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo Ishumaeli atũũra arathimagwo nĩwe!”
19 And God said, Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Nake Ngai akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩguo, no mũtumia waku Sara nĩagagũciarĩra kahĩĩ, na nĩũgaagatua Isaaka. Nĩngathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro nake gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene harĩ njiaro ciake iria igooka thuutha wake.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Na ha ũhoro wa Ishumaeli, nĩndakũigua: Ti-itherũ nĩngũmũrathima; nĩngũtũma aciarane, aingĩhe mũno. Nĩagatuĩka ithe wa aathani ikũmi na eerĩ, na nĩngamũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
No kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa ngaathondeka na Isaaka, ũrĩa Sara egũgũciarĩra mwaka ũyũ ũgũũka, ihinda-inĩ ta rĩĩrĩ tũrĩ.”
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
Ngai aarĩkia kwaria na Iburahĩmu, akĩambata, akĩmũtiga.
23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
Mũthenya o ro ũcio, Iburahĩmu akĩoya mũriũ wake Ishumaeli, na arĩa othe maciarĩirwo gwake, o na arĩa magũrĩtwo na mbeeca ciake, mũndũ mũrũme wothe wa nyũmba yake, akĩmaruithia, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwĩrĩte.
24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Iburahĩmu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo kenda na kenda rĩrĩa aaruire,
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
nake mũriũ wake Ishumaeli aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtatũ.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
Iburahĩmu na mũriũ wake Ishumaeli maaruire hamwe mũthenya o ro ũcio.
27 And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
Na mũndũ mũrũme wothe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Iburahĩmu, arĩa maciarĩirwo gwake, kana mũndũ wagũrĩtwo kuuma kũrĩ mũndũ wa kũngĩ, maaruanĩire hamwe nake.
