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.

Abram loe saning qui takawt, takawtto naah, Angraeng mah amtueng thuih; anih khaeah, Kai loe Thacak Sithaw ah ka oh; na koep thai hanah, ka hmaa ah caeh ah.

2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

Kai hoi nang salakah lokmaihaih ka sak moe, nang to pop parai ah kang pungsak han, tiah a naa.

3 Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

To naah Abram loe long ah akuep; Sithaw mah anih khaeah,

4 “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

khenah, ka sak ih lokmaihaih loe nang khaeah oh; nang loe prae kami boih ih ampa ah na om tih.

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.

Nang ih ahmin loe Abram, tiah kawk mak ai boeh; Abraham, tiah ni kawk tih boeh; nang loe prae kami boih ih ampa ah kang sak boeh.

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

Athaih paroeai kang thaisak moe, nang khae hoiah kami congca kang coengsak han; siangpahrangnawk doeh nang khae hoiah ni tacawt o tih.

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.

Kai loe na Sithaw, na caanawk ih Sithaw ah ka oh moe, nang hoi na caanawk boih nuiah dungzan khoek to ka sak ih lokmaihaih to ka caksak han.

8 I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are travelling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”

Vaihi angvin ah na ohhaih prae, Kanaan prae boih to dungzan ah toep hanah, nang hoi na hnuk ah angzo na caanawk khaeah ka paek han; kai loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, tiah a naa.

9 God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.

To pacoengah Sithaw mah Abraham khaeah, Nangmah hoi na hnuk ah angzo han koi na caanawk boih mah loe, ka sak ih lokmaihaih to pazui oh.

10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male amongst you shall be circumcised.

Hae loe nangmah hoi na hnuk ah angzo han koi na caanawk salakah, na pazui o han ih ka lokmaihaih ah oh; nangcae thung ih nongpa boih tangzat hin aat oh.

11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

Tangzat hin to aat oh; to loe kai hoi nang salakah sak ih lokmaih angmathaih ah om tih.

12 He who is eight days old shall be circumcised amongst 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.

Angzo han koi na caanawk boih, na imthung ah tapen kami, to tih ai boeh loe nangmah ih acaeng na ai, phoisa hoi qan ih prae kalah kami boih, ni tazetto koep naah tangzat hin aat oh.

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.

Na imthung ah tapen kami doeh, phoisa hoi qan ih kami doeh, tangzat hin aah han angaih; na taksa nuiah ka sak ih lokmaihaih to dungzan khoek to om tih.

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.”

Tangzat hin aat ai caa nongpa, tangzat hin aat ai kami loe, acaeng thung hoiah pahnawt ah; anih loe ka lokmaihaih phraekung ah ni oh, tiah a naa.

15 God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.

Sithaw mah Abram khaeah, na zu Sarai loe Sarai, tiah kawk hmah lai ah; anih ih ahmin loe Sarah, tiah om tih boeh.

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.”

Anih to tahamhoihaih ka paek han, anih mah capa maeto na sah pae tih; ue, anih to tahamhoihaih ka paek han, anih loe prae kami boih ih amno ah om tih; siangpahrangnawk doeh anih thung hoiah ni tacawt tih, tiah a naa.

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?”

Abraham loe mikhmai akuep tathuk moe, pahnuih pacoengah, a palung thung hoiah, Saning cumvaito kaom kami mah caa sah vop tih maw? Saning qui takawt, takawtto kaom, Sarah mah caa sah vop tih maw? tiah thuih.

18 Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”

Abraham mah Sithaw khaeah, Aw Ishmael loe na hmaa ah hing nasoe, tiah a naa.

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.

Sithaw mah, Na zu Sarah mah capa na sah pae tih; anih ih ahmin to Issak, tiah sah ah; anih hoi anih hnuk ah angzo a caanawk khaeah doeh dungzan lokmaihaih to ka sak han.

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.

Ishmael han na thuih ih lok to ka thaih boeh; khenah, anih to tahamhoihaih ka paek han, athaih ka thaisak moe, pop parai ah ka pungsak han; anih loe ukkung hatlai hnetto ih ampa ah om ueloe, anih to kalen parai acaeng ah kang coengsak han.

21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

Toe hmabang saning vaihi atue ah, Sarah mah ang sak pae han ih Issak hoiah ni lokmaihaih to ka sak han, tiah a naa.

22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

Lokthuih boih pacoengah, Sithaw loe Abraham khae hoiah caeh tahang ving.

23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money: every male amongst the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.

To na niah Abraham mah a capa Ishmael, a imthung ah tapen kaminawk boih, phoisa hoi qan ih kaminawk boih, imthung ah kaom nongpa boih to kawk moe, Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, tangzat hin to aahsak.

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

Tangzat hin aah naah, Abraham loe saning qui takawt, takawtto oh boeh.

25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

A capa Ishmael loe saning hatlai thumto oh boeh.

26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

Abraham hoi a capa Ishmael loe to na niah tangzat hin aah hoi hmaek.

27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

Abraham im ah kaom nongpa boih, anih im ah tapen nongpa boih, prae kalah ah phoisa hoi qan ih kaminawk boih, angmah hoi nawnto tangzat hin aah o.
