Genesis 17 (JUM)

1Aŋ wääna Abram yuunge aŋŋene caykä kä waŋäḍeŋ witken kä waŋäḍeŋ ye, nüütkï woo Pïṭo yore, aŋ kiinne ogo, “Ika agä Jooŋ yaana Lïïṭït ye. Aŋ päy yeeni ken baaddä, aŋ dalä ïkï ḍoŋü ladaŋ.When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.

2Aŋ ika bi ḍuccu jiik ḍoocin waan yoono ti ika ke ïkï, aŋ kaaynä yüükü bi naŋä ḍirä kä yaac.”I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”

3Aŋ Abram waŋge kümjene ïñï Jooŋ ñomi ti, aŋ kiini Jooŋ ogo,Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,

4“A jiik ḍoocin yooko ke ïkï ikki, ïkï bi wäätci agä wäy yen ṭoŋ ḍiirken.“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

5Aŋ ïkï batta bi ŋuca batti me ogo Abram, ïkï bi batti me ogo Abrayiim, nääŋka ïkï naŋŋeni wäättii kä a wäy yen ṭoŋ ḍiirken ye.No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

6Aŋ merkä yüükü bi naŋä ḍirä kä yaac, aŋ kaaynä yüükü bi wäätï a ṭoŋ ḍiirken, aŋ yätkäni bi käjä woo iken ti.I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.

7“Aŋ ika bi ḍuccu jiik ḍoocin yeeki ke ïkï ke kaaynä yaaka ŋäñü ti ye, kil ke kil ti. Yaakki a jiik ḍoocin ke cüle, ika bi kamat agä Jooŋ yüünü, aŋ agä Jooŋ yen kaaynä yaaka ŋäñü ti ye.I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

8Aŋ ŋommañ yen mä Kanaan nänṭ'a cääyii agii kä boorgon yaanna, bi iñenii kä muureen, ïkï ke kaaynä yüükü. Aŋ bi wäätï a nänṭä yeenen ke cüle, aŋ ika bi wäätä agä Jooŋ yeenen.”And to you and your descendants I will give the land where you are residing—all the land of Canaan—as an eternal possession; and I will be their God.”

9Aŋ Jooŋ Abrayiim kiinne ogo, “Jiik ḍoocin yeeki tïïcke, ïkï ke kaaynä yüükü yaaka bäätïdï ŋäñü ti ye.God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.

10Aŋ a jiik ḍoocin yeeki yaaka ṭäkkä tïïje ye ikki, ïkï ke kaaynä yüükü, m'aka a ook waadgic ti ye dale iirgä me.This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.

11Dale purpurri yeekic iirjänä me woo, aŋ iirrä yeenic ken bi wäätï a baacbaac jiik ḍoocin waadgo ti.You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

12Aŋ kilkä yaaka äätä ye ti, merkä oogen waadgic ti yaaka nïïnken kä cunuuk ye, dale iirgä me, naana a giitin baannü halla batta a kaaynä yüükü a kiiygin kä tiil boorgu ti ye.Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner—even those who are not your offspring.

13Aŋ naana a giiton baannü halla a kiygon kä tiil ye, i dale ergä me. Nuŋko jiik ḍoocin yeeki wäätee kä yokic ti ke cüle.Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.

14Aŋ m'ana yaakkä kä errä ye, bi aŋgänä me yok mä yeeki gïtï, jiik ḍoocin yeeki tuuññe yok.”But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

15Aŋ Jooŋ Abrayiim kiinne ogo, “Caarraay ïïŋü ŋana ŋuca baddä ogo Caarraay, yäṇtonḍe bi wäätï ogo Caarra.Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.

16Ike bi ŋüülkü, aŋ ïkï bi gitkey minneni oone. Ike bi ŋüülkü, aŋ bi wäätï a miy yen ṭoŋ ḍiirken. Aŋ yätkäni yek ṭoŋ bi käjä woo kaaynä yeeke ti.”And I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her.”

17Aŋ Abrayiim waŋge kümjene ïñï aŋ yircin woo, aŋ jaajjin jone ti ogo, “Ika bi giidä minneni i yuungi wäättä caykä kä caay aŋŋi? Aŋ Caarra bi giit minneni i yuunge wäättä aŋŋi caykä kä waŋäḍeŋ aŋŋi?”Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”

18Aŋ Abrayiim Jooŋ kiinne ogo, “Dalä Icämayiil ken pïr ñomü ti!”And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”

19Aŋ luugi Jooŋ ogo, “Ba'ay! Ïïŋü Caarra ïkï bi gitkey minneni oone, aŋ bi äkkä ogo Icaak. Aŋ ika bi ḍuccu jiik ḍoocin yeeki ke ike, aŋ ke kaaynä yeeke yaaka ŋäñe ti ye. Aŋ bi wäätï a jiik ḍoocin yaaka batta düüñïdï ye.But God replied, “Your wife Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

20Aŋ Icämayiil ti, jiik yüükü tiiŋgenenii kä, ŋäjjä ike bi ŋüülkü, ike bi naŋä giit, aŋ bi ḍiirä kä yaac. Aŋ bi wäätï a wäy yen yätïnï yaaka kä caay witken kä yewwe ye, aŋ bi dalä wäätï a ṭoŋ yäwke.As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.

21Aŋ ika bi ḍuccu jiik ḍoocin yeeki ke Icaak yaana bi gitkini kä Caarra ye, waan bata yaanni, yun yaana äätä yaanja ti.”But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”

22Aŋ wääna Jooŋ ḍaŋŋee kä jiik ke Abrayiim ye, Abrayiim daljene ïñï.When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.

23Aŋ äŋ jïñe yaanna ti, Abrayiim minneni yeene Icämayiil koowne ke ook yaaka a giitin baanne ye, ke yaaka agee kä kiygin kä tiil yeeke ye, aŋ iirre bata yaana kiinene daa kä Jooŋ ye.On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised them, just as God had told him.

24Aŋ Abrayiim eri me i yuunge caykä kä waŋäḍeŋ witken kä waŋäḍeŋ.So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

25Aŋ minneni yeene Icämayiil yuunge kä caay witken kä ḍäk, wääna erene daa kä me ye.and his son Ishmael was thirteen;

26Aŋ äŋ jïñe yaanja ti, Abrayiimmä iiri me muuṭuk ke minneni yeene Icämayiil.Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.

27Aŋ ook muure yaaka baanne ye, ke merkä oogen yaaka a giitin baanne ye, ke yaaka agee kä kiygin kä tiil boorgu ti ye, iirene daa kä me muure.And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
