17 Pamene Abramu anali ndi zaka 99, Yehova anamuonekera nati, “Ine ndine Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse. Ukhale munthu wochita zolungama nthawi zonse. 2 Ndipo Ine ndikulonjeza kuti ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri.”
3 Pomwepo Abramu anadziponya pansi ndipo Mulungu anati kwa iye, 4 “Pangano langa ndi iwe ndi ili: Udzakhala kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu. 5 Sudzatchedwanso Abramu; dzina lako lidzakhala Abrahamu, chifukwa ndakusandutsa kukhala kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu. 6 Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri motero kuti mitundu yambiri ya anthu idzatuluka mwa iwe. Mafumunso adzatuluka mwa iwe. 7 Pangano langa ndi iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu za mibado ya mʼtsogolo lidzakhala la muyaya. Ndidzakhala Mulungu wako ndi Mulungu wa zidzukulu zako. 8 Dziko lonse la Kanaani, limene iwe ukukhala tsopano, ndalipereka kwa iwe ndi kwa zidzukulu zako kuti likhale chuma chanu mpaka muyaya. Ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wa zidzukulu zako.”
9 Kenaka Mulungu anati kwa Abrahamu, “Koma iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako mʼmibado ya mʼtsogolomo, sungani pangano langali. 10 Iwe pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako muzisunga pangano ili loti mwamuna aliyense pakati panupa azichita mdulidwe. 11 Kuyambira tsopano muzichita mdulidwe ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro cha pangano langa ndi iwe. 12 Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mibado ya mʼtsogolomo mwana wamwamuna aliyense pakati panu amene wakwana masiku asanu ndi atatu ayenera kuchita mdulidwe. Awa ndi ana obadwa mʼbanja lako, kapena akapolo ochita kugula ndi ndalama, mlendo osakhala wa mʼmbumba yako. 13 Achite mdulidwe ndithu mwana wamwamuna aliyense, mbadwa ngakhale kapolo wochita kugula ndi ndalama, ndipo ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro pa thupi lanu cha pangano langa lamuyaya. 14 Mwamuna aliyense amene adzakhala wosachita mdulidwe adzachotsedwa pakati pa anthu ake chifukwa sanasunge pangano langa.”
15 Mulungu anatinso kwa Abrahamu, “Sarai mkazi wako, sudzamutchanso Sarai; dzina lake lidzakhala Sara. 16 Ndidzamudalitsa ndipo adzakubalira mwana wamwamuna. Ndidzamudalitsa kuti akhale mayi wa mitundu ya anthu; mafumu a anthuwo adzachokera mwa iye.”
17 Abrahamu anadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pa Yehova, Iye anaseka nati, “Kodi munthu wa zaka 100 nʼkubala mwana? Kodi Sara adzabereka mwana pa msinkhu wa zaka makumi asanu ndi anayi?” 18 Ndipo Abrahamu anati kwa Mulungu, “Bwanji mumudalitse Ismaeli.”
19 Koma Mulungu anati, “Ayi, koma mkazi wako Sara adzakubalira mwana wamwamuna, ndipo udzamutcha Isake. Ndidzasunga pangano langa losatha ndi iyeyu komanso ndi zidzukulu zobwera pambuyo pake. 20 Koma za Ismaeli, ndamva. Ndidzamudalitsadi, ndipo adzakhala ndi zidzukulu zambiri. Iye adzakhala kholo la mafumu khumi ndi awiri ndipo mwa iye mudzatuluka mtundu waukulu wa anthu. 21 Koma ndidzasunga pangano langali ndi Isake amene Sara adzakubalira pofika nthawi ngati ino chaka chamawa.” 22 Atatha kuyankhula, Mulungu anamuchokera Abrahamu.
23 Tsono Abrahamu anachita mdulidwe mwana wake Ismaeli ndi onse amene anali mʼbanja lake, mbadwa ngakhale kapolo ochita kugula ndi ndalama, monga mmene Mulungu analamulira. 24 Abrahamu anali ndi zaka 99 pamene anachita mdulidwe, 25 ndipo mwana wake Ismaeli anali ndi zaka khumi ndi zitatu; 26 Onse, Abrahamu ndi mwana wake Ismaeli, anachita mdulidwe tsiku limodzi. 27 Aliyense wamwamuna wa pa banja pa Abrahamu, kuphatikizapo iwo amene anabadwira pa banja pomwepo kapena akapolo ogula ndi ndalama kwa alendo, anachita mdulidwe.

The Covenant of Circumcision
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old,(A) the Lord appeared to him(B) and said, “I am God Almighty[a];(C) walk before me faithfully and be blameless.(D) 2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you(E) and will greatly increase your numbers.”(F)
3 Abram fell facedown,(G) and God said to him, 4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you:(H) You will be the father of many nations.(I) 5 No longer will you be called Abram[b]; your name will be Abraham,[c](J) for I have made you a father of many nations.(K) 6 I will make you very fruitful;(L) I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.(M) 7 I will establish my covenant(N) as an everlasting covenant(O) between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God(P) and the God of your descendants after you.(Q) 8 The whole land of Canaan,(R) where you now reside as a foreigner,(S) I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you;(T) and I will be their God.(U)”
9 Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant,(V) you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.(W) 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.(X) 11 You are to undergo circumcision,(Y) and it will be the sign of the covenant(Z) between me and you. 12 For the generations to come(AA) every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised,(AB) including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised.(AC) My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.(AD) 14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised(AE) in the flesh, will be cut off from his people;(AF) he has broken my covenant.(AG)”
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai(AH) your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.(AI) 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her.(AJ) I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations;(AK) kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell facedown;(AL) he laughed(AM) and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old?(AN) Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?”(AO) 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael(AP) might live under your blessing!”(AQ)
19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son,(AR) and you will call him Isaac.[d](AS) I will establish my covenant with him(AT) as an everlasting covenant(AU) for his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers.(AV) He will be the father of twelve rulers,(AW) and I will make him into a great nation.(AX) 21 But my covenant(AY) I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you(AZ) by this time next year.”(BA) 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.(BB)
23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household(BC) or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.(BD) 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old(BE) when he was circumcised,(BF) 25 and his son Ishmael(BG) was thirteen; 26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that very day. 27 And every male in Abraham’s household(BH), including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.
