Genesis 17

1 And after he began to be ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to him: and said unto him: I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be perfect.

Alò, lè Abram te gen laj katre-ven-sèz ane, SENYÈ a te parèt a Abram. Li te di li: “Mwen menm se Bondye Toupwisan an. Mache devan mwen, e rete san fot.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee: and I will multiply thee exceedingly.

Mwen va etabli akò Mwen antre Mwen ak Ou, e Mwen va miltipliye ou anpil, anpil.”

3 Abram fell flat on his face.

Abram te tonbe atè sou figi li. Bondye te pale avèk li, e te di:

4 And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

“Pou Mwen, koute byen, akò Mwen avè ou a. Ou va papa a yon gran kantite nasyon.

5 Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations.

Yo p ap rele ou Abram ankò, men non ou va Abraham, paske Mwen ap fè ou papa a yon gran kantite nasyon.

6 And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

“M ap fè ou bay anpil fwi, Mwen va fè nasyon yo avè w, e wa yo va soti nan ou menm.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

“Mwen va etabli akò Mwen antre Mwen ak ou, e desandan ou yo selon tout jenerasyon pa yo kòm yon akò k ap pou tout tan, pou M rete kòm Bondye pou ou ak desandan apre ou yo.

8 And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God.

“Mwen va ba ou avèk desandan ou yo peyi kote nou vwayaje yo, tout tè Canaan an, kòm yon posesyon k ap pou tout tan, epi Mwen va Bondye pa yo.”

9 Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

Bondye te di anplis a Abraham: “Koulye a pou ou, ou va kenbe akò Mwen an, ou menm avèk desandan apre ou yo pou tout jenerasyon.

10 This is my covenant which you shall observe, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall be circumcised:

Sa se akò Mwen, ke nou va kenbe antre Mwen ak nou menm, e desandan apre nou yo: chak mal pami nou va vin sikonsi.

11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you.

““Nou va sikonsi nan chè sou avan chè nou, e sa ap sèvi kòm sign akò antre Mwen ak nou.

12 An infant of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations: he that is born in the house, as well as the bought servant shall be circumcised, and whosoever is not of your stock:

Epi chak mal antre nou ki gen uit jou va sikonsi selon tout jenerasyon nou yo, e osi yon sèvitè ki fèt lakay ou, oswa ki achte avèk lajan a nenpòt etranje ki pa sòti nan desandan pa nou yo.

13 And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.

Yon sèvitè ki fèt lakay nou, oswa ki te achte avèk lajan nou va asireman vin sikonsi; konsa akò Mwen va nan chè nou, yon akò pou tout tan.

14 The male, whose flesh of his foreskin shall not be circumcised, that soul shall be destroyed out of his people: because he hath broken my covenant.

Men yon mal ki pa sikonsi nan avan chè li, moun sila a va vin retire de pèp li a. Li vyole akò Mwen an.”

15 God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara.

Epi Bondye te di a Abraham: “Konsènan madanm ou, Saraï, ou pa pou rele li Saraï, men Sarah va non li.

16 And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shall become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him.

Mwen va beni li, Mwen va bay ou yon fis pa li. Alò, Mwen va beni li, e li va yon manman pou anpil nasyon. Wa a pèp yo va sòti nan li.”

17 Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?

Nan moman sa a, Abraham te tonbe sou figi li. Li te ri e li te di nan kè l: “Èske yon pitit va fèt a yon nonm santan? Epi èske Sarah, ki gen katre-ven-diz ane va fè yon pitit?”

18 And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.

Konsa, Abraham te di a Bondye: “O ke Ismaël kapab viv devan Ou!”

19 And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him.

Men Bondye te di: “Non, men Sarah, madanm ou an va fè yon fis, e ou va rele non li Isaac. Mwen va etabli akò Mwen an avèk li pou yon akò pou tout tan pou desandan apre li yo.

20 And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.

“Pou Ismaël, Mwen te tande ou. Gade byen, Mwen va fè li bay anpil fwi, e li va miltipliye li anpil, anpil. Li va vin papa a douz prens yo, e Mwen va fè li vin yon gran nasyon.

21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year.

“Men akò Mwen an, Mwen va etabli li avèk Isaac, ke Sarah va fè pou ou nan menm sezon sa a, lane pwochèn.”

22 And when he had left off speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.

Lè Li te fin pale avèk li, Bondye te monte kite Abraham.

23 And Abraham took Ismael his son, and all that 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 forthwith the very same day, as God had commanded him.

Alò, Abraham te pran Ismaël, fis li a, tout sèvitè ki te fèt nan kay li, tout ki te achte avèk lajan li, chak mal pami mesye lakay Abraham yo, e li te sikonsi prepis yo nan menm jou sa a jan Bondye te di li a.

24 Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.

Alò, Abraham te gen katre-ven-diz ane lè li te sikonsi nan chè pwen pye li.

25 And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision.

Epi Ismaël, fis li a te gen trèz ane lè li te sikonsi nan chè pwen pye li.

26 The selfsame day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his son.

Nan menm jou sa a, Abraham te sikonsi, ansanm ak fis li, Ismaël.

27 And all the men of his house, as well they that were born in his house, as the bought servants and strangers were circumcised with him.

Tout gason lakay li yo, ki te fèt lakay li, ki te achte avèk lajan nan men moun etranje, te sikonsi avèk li.
