Genesis 17 (LGA)

1Totonai sa kamua ka sia ngavulu ka sia aorona si Ebarami sa, sa votu tana si Iahova beto sa paranga, <<Ara sa na Tamasa neqiqu jola, mu tutia na qua paranga beto mu toania na toa tuvisina.When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.

2Mana vatoqonigo ara ao sa na qua vinaego beto mana vavua vasosokugo ara sao,>> sau.I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”

3Poni sa vukele opo gore si Ebarami, beto pira saunia na Tamasa sisa,Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,

4<<Ara sa na qua vinaego qa vatoqonigo sapi, Ao sa muna tamadi ira doru na bubutu tinoni.“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

5Minake takuku ligunia i Ebarami sa na isongomu ao, gotona isongomu kopira si Ebarahami tu, ura muna tamadi soku bubutu tinoni mana veinigo ara.No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

6Mana vavua vasosokugo ara sao, tamu mai pidoko votu lame sa na bubutu tinoni beto ira na babangara.I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.

7Mana vatoqonigo ara ao sa na qua vinaego kole jolana, beto ira na tutimu vuka risa tadira na sasae tinoni korapa lame, ko ara sa mina mua Tamasa ao beto tadira na tutimu ao pa ligumu.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.

8Na ia doruna pa Kenani, ketakoi qu korapa suvere kopira vei na tinoni karovomu sa, mana vaisongonigo ao beto ira na tutimu ao vuka risa kamua na kamua beto ara sa mina dia Tamasa ira,>> saunia.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.”

9Beto poni sa paranga mutu sa na Tamasa lao tai Ebarahami, <<Goto ao sa, muna kopunia sa na vinaego taqu, ao beto ira na tutimu pa liguna lao tadira na sasae tinoni korapa lame.God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.

10Ko alepi sa na vinaego taqu qa vatoqonigo ao beto ira na tutimu ao ko muna kopunia agou pa liguna lao: Doru marene korapa suvere tavitigo ao sa mai isongo tapobe beto.This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.

11Muna pobea sa na vulitina na batu nonoimiu ko isa sa na vinagigilana na vinaego pa vaikorapaida gita karu.You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

12Pa dorudi na sasae tinoni korapa lame sa, doru marene sa mai isongo tapobe pa vinavesu rane liguna mai podo, tavitiria tugu vei ira mai podo lame pa miu tatamana babi mai tavai pa poata tadira na tinoni karovodi ira nake tavitimiu.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.

13Bai podo lame tu pa miu tatamana babi tavai tu pa miu poata ba mai isongo tapobe tugu. Na qua vinaego qa roitinia pa tinimiu sa mina kole jola kamua na kamua.Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.

14Na marene sake tapobe na vulitina na batu nonoina sa mina tapikata pale tadira na bubutu tinoni ura sa majai na qua vinaego ara,>> sau sisa.But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

15Na Tamasa sa parangia si Ebarahami, Pira saunia, <<I Serai na maqotamu sa munake kuku ligunia na isongona i Serai ura i Sera tu sa na isongona isa kopira.Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.

16Mana manania ara sisa ko sosoto jola sa mina vapore vanigo ao kai koburu marene. Mana manania ara sisa ko mina tinadi na bubutu tinoni beto na babangaradi na tinoni sa mai koko lame vei tana,>> sau.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.”

17Poni sa vukele opo gore si Ebarahami, sa avu beto pira sau mulenia mekana, <<Mina vaporea tu kai koburu marene sa na tinoni kai gogoto aorona? Mina vapodoa tu kai koburu si Sera ka sia ngavuluputa aorona?>> sau.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?”

18Beto sa paranga lao tai Tamasa si Ebarahami, <<Ai Vei i Isimeli gu sa bi toania na tavaragua tamu,>> sau.And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”

19Poni sa paranga na Tamasa tai Ebarahami, <<E, ba i Sera na maqotamu mina vapore vanigo tugu kai koburu marene ko muna vakukunia i Aisake. Mana vatoqonia ara i Aisake sa na qua vinaego, isa mina kole jola kamua na kamua tadira na tutina isa vuka risa.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.

20Goto pa kalena tai Isimeli sa, qa tei nongorigo tu: ko sosoto jola kode mana manania tugu ara sisa, mana vavua vasosokua beto mina mota tu lalaona sa na tutina isa. Isa sa mina tamadi ira ka manogarua bangara bubutu beto mina taroiti tana sa kai bubutu tinoni lavata.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.

21Ba na qua vinaego sa mana vatoqonia tai Aisake isa mina vapodo vanigo i Sera pa totoso vei api pa aoro lame ina,>> saunia.But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”

22Pa liguna qi kole parangia i Ebarahami, sa taloa saeona sa na Tamasa.When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.

23Pa vagigila rane tugu isa sa, i Ebarahami sa tekua si Isimeli na tuna marene beto dorudi ira qai podo pa nona tatamana babi sa vainiria nona poata, doru marene pa ruma tai Ebarahami beto ko sa poberia na batu nonoidi vei sa garununia na Tamasa.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.

24Ka sia ngavulu sia aorona si Ebarahami totonai sa tapobe na vulitina na batu nonoina,So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

25goto i Isimeli na tuna marene sa ka manoga ue aorona sa tonai sa tapobe na vulitina na batu nonoina.and his son Ishmael was thirteen;

26Ko pa kai muqisi rane tugu isa sa qai tapobe beto sira Ebarahami beto i Isimeli na tuna marene.Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.

27Beto doru marene qai suvere tana tavitiria ira qai podo pa ruma tana babi qai tavai poata tadira na tinoni karovodi sa qai somana tapobe tugu tonai tavitia isa.And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
