Genesis 17
1 When Abram was 99, the Lord appeared to him and told him, “I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and don't do wrong.
Yeroo Abraam nama waggaa sagaltamii sagalii turetti Waaqayyo isatti mulʼatee akkana jedheen; “Ani Waaqa Waan Hundumaa Dandaʼuu dha; ati fuula koo dura amanamummaan deddeebiʼi; hirʼinas hin qabaatin.
2 I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”
Ani kakuu koo anaa fi si gidduu nan dhaaba; guddaas sin baayʼisa.”
3 Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God told him,
Abraamis adda isaatiin lafatti gombifame; Waaqnis akkana isaan jedhe;
4 “Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,
“Kunoo, kakuun ani si wajjin galu kana: ati abbaa saba baayʼee taata.
5 so your name won't be Abram any longer. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I'm going to make you the father of many nations.
Ati siʼachi Abraam jedhamtee hin waamamtu; waan ani abbaa saboota baayʼee si taasiseef maqaan kee Abrahaam taʼa.
6 I will make sure you have a large number of descendants. They will become many nations, and some of their kings will also come from your line.
Ani akka ati guddaa baayʼattu nan godha; akka sabni hedduun si keessaa argamu nan godha; mootonnis si keessaa ni argamu.
7 I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.
Ani Waaqa keetii fi Waaqa sanyii kee kan si duubaan dhufuu taʼuuf jedhee kakuu koo anaa, sii fi sanyii kee kan si duubaa, dhaloota dhufuuf jiru gidduutti kakuu bara baraa godhee nan dhaaba.
8 I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”
Biyya Kanaʼaan guutuu lafa ati amma orma taatee jiraattu kana ani dhaala bara baraa godhee siʼii fi sanyiiwwan kee warra si booddeetiif nan kenna; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa.”
9 Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.
Waaqni Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Ati immoo kakuu koo eeguu qabda; ati, sanyiin kee warri si duubaas dhaloota isaanii keessatti kakuu koo eeguu qabdu.
10 This is my agreement with you and your descendants who come after you, the agreement you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised.
Kakuun koo kan isin anaa fi siʼi gidduutti, sanyii kee kan siʼi duubaan dhufu gidduuttis eeguu qabdan kanaa dha; innis isin keessaa dhiirri hundinuu dhagna haa qabatu.
11 You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.
Qola keessan dhagna qabadhaa; kunis kakuu anaa fi isin gidduu jiruuf mallattoo taʼa.
12 From now and for all generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. This includes not only your sons but also those born in your household or bought from foreigners.
Isin keessaa dhiirri guyyaa saddeet guute dhagna haa qabatu; dhaloota keessan hunda keessatti dhiirri mana keetti dhalate yookaan kan nama biyya ormaa irraa maallaqa keetiin bitame hundi kan sanyii kee hin taʼin dhagna haa qabatu.
13 You must circumcise those born in your household or bought from foreigners as a sign in your bodies of my eternal agreement.
Mana keetti dhalatanis yookaan maallaqa keetiin bitamanis isaan dhagna haa qabatan. Kakuun koo kan foon keessan irratti godhame kun kakuu bara baraa taʼa.
14 Any uncircumcised male who refuses circumcision will be excluded from his people because he has broken my agreement.”
Dhiirri dhagna hin qabatin, kan qola foon isaa dhagna hin qabatin kam iyyuu saba ofii isaa keessaa balleeffama; inni kakuu koo cabseeraatii.”
15 Then God told Abraham, “Now about Sarai your wife. Don't call her Sarai any longer. Instead, her name will be Sarah.
Waaqni ammas Abrahaamiin akkana jedhe; “Ati siʼachi niitii kee Sooraadhaan, Sooraa hin jettu; maqaan ishee Saaraa taʼa.
16 I will bless her and I promise to give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations, and kings will be among her descendants.”
Ani ishee nan eebbisa; ishee irraas ilma siif nan kenna. Akka isheen haadha sabootaa taatuufis ishee nan eebbisa; mootonni sabootaas ishee keessaa argamu.”
17 Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground. But inside he was laughing, asking himself, “How on earth could I have a son at the age of one hundred? How could Sarah have a child when she is ninety?”
Abrahaamis addaan gombifame; kolfees, “Nama waggaa dhibbaatiif ilmi ni dhalataa? Saaraanis waggaa sagaltamatti mucaa deessii?” jedhee yaade.
18 Abraham said to God, “May Ishmael always live under your blessing!”
Abrahaamis Waaqaan, “Maaloo utuu Ishmaaʼeel fuula kee dura naa jiraatee!” jedhe.
19 “No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement.
Waaqnis akkana jedhe; “Tole; garuu niitiin kee Saaraan ilma siif deessi; maqaa isaas Yisihaaq jedhii moggaasi. Anis kakuu koo sanyii isaa kan isa duubaan dhufuuf kakuu bara baraa godhee isa wajjin nan dhaaba.
20 Now about Ishmael. I heard what you said, and I will also bless him. I will make sure he has a great many descendants. He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.
Waaʼee Ishmaaʼeel immoo ani si dhagaʼeera; kunoo ani, isa nan eebbisa; akka inni baayʼatu nan godha; guddaa isa nan baayʼisa. Inni abbaa bulchitoota kudha lamaa taʼa; anis saba guddaa isa nan godha.
21 But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”
Kakuu koo garuu Yisihaaq isa Saaraan waggaa dhufu keessa yeroo kanatti siif deessu wajjin nan dhaaba.”
22 When God had finished speaking with Abraham he left him.
Waaqni erga Abrahaam wajjin haasaʼee fixatee booddee isa biraa ol baʼe.
23 That day Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael as well as all those born in his household or purchased, in fact every male among the members of Abraham's household, just as God had told him.
Abrahaamis guyyuma sana ilmaan isaa Ishmaaʼeelii fi warra mana isaatti dhalatan yookaan warra maallaqa isaatiin bitaman hunda, dhiira mana isaa hundumaas fuudhee akkuma Waaqni isatti himetti dhagna qabe.
24 Abraham was 99 when he was circumcised,
Abrahaam yeroo dhagna qabatetti nama waggaa sagaltamii sagalii ture.
25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen.
Ilmi isaa Ishmaaʼeel immoo yeroo dhagna qabatetti nama waggaa kudha sadii ture.
26 Both Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
Abrahaamii fi ilmi isaa Ishmaaʼeel guyyuma sana dhagna qabatan.
27 All the males in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or purchased from foreigners, were circumcised with him.
Dhiirri mana Abrahaam hundinuu, warri mana isaatti dhalatan yookaan warri orma irraa maallaqaan bitamanis isa wajjin dhagna qabatan.
