< 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.
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.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee: and I will multiply thee exceedingly.
Èmi yóò sì fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ. Èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di púpọ̀ gidigidi.”
3 Abram fell flat on his face.
Abramu sì dojúbolẹ̀, Ọlọ́run sì wí fún un pé.
4 And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
“Ní ti èmi, májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ nìyí. Ìwọ yóò di baba orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀.
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.
A kì yóò pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Abramu mọ́, bí kò ṣe Abrahamu, nítorí, mo ti sọ ọ́ di baba orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀.
6 And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
9 Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
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.
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:
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.
11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you.
Ẹ̀yin yóò kọ ara yín ní ilà, èyí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì májẹ̀mú láàrín tèmi tiyín.
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:
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.
13 And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.
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.
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.
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.”
15 God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara.
Ọlọ́run wí fún Abrahamu pé, “Ní ti Sarai, aya rẹ̀, ìwọ kì yóò pè é ní Sarai mọ́, bí kò ṣe Sara.
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.
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.”
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?
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?”
18 And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.
Abrahamu sì wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Sá à jẹ́ kí Iṣmaeli kí ó wà láààyè lábẹ́ ìbùkún rẹ.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Isaaki, ẹni tí Sara yóò bí fún ọ ni ìwòyí àmọ́dún.”
22 And when he had left off speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.
Nígbà tí ó ti bá Abrahamu sọ̀rọ̀ tán, Ọlọ́run sì gòkè lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
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.
24 Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.
Abrahamu jẹ́ ẹni ọ̀kàndínlọ́gọ́rùn-ún ọdún nígbà tí a kọ ọ́ ní ilà.
25 And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision.
Iṣmaeli ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́tàlá.
26 The selfsame day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his son.
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni a kọ Abrahamu ní ilà pẹ̀lú Iṣmaeli ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin.
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.
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.
