Genesis 17 (TCZCHONG)

1Abram chu kum somko le kumko alhinin Pakaijin ahoulimpi in hitin aseipeh e, “Keima El-Shaddai____ 'Pathen chungnung kahi.' Hijeh chun lunglhaisel in nei hou jingin lang, chule thenna hinkho mang jingin,” ati.When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.

2Keiman nangma to ikikah a kitepna nape ingting hichu thon louhel'a nangma chilhah simsen lou kapeh ding nahi.I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”

3Hichun Abram in amai tol lang aven hichun Pathen'in ahin houvin hitin aseiye,Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,

4Hiche hi keima le nangma kinoptona ahi, keiman nangma hi nam jouse pa kaso ding nahi, ati.“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

5Aban a namin jong kakhel peh ding, Abram nahi tah louding, Abraham na kiti ding ahitai, ajeh chu nangma hi nam jouse dia mipa nahi ding ahitai.No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

6Keiman nangma hatah a kagasah ding, na chilhah ten nam tamtah ahin sondoh diu, chule leng thupi tah-tah jong amaho lah a hung umdoh ding ahiye.I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.

7“Keiman athah a nangma to iki noptona chu na chilhah te to kakitepna avel'a ka phudoh kit ding nangma nunga na chilhah te a dinga jong, khang le khang kikah ajong, hiche hi atonsot a hi ding, keima na Pathen'u kahi jing ding chule nanam, na chilhah te Pathen jong kahi jing ding ahi.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.

8Keiman Canaan gam pumpi ahin, tua na chenna gam kholjin banga nachen nau hi nason na chilhah te atonsot a goulo dinga kapeh ding, chule amaho dinga jong a Pathen'u kahi jing ding ahi,” ati.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.”

9Hichun Pathen'in Abraham ahoulimpin, “Nangma tah in jong kinoptona hi najui ding, chule na nunga nason na chilhah te dinga jong akhang lhum kei uva ajui ding'u ahi.God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.

10Hiche hi ahi kinoptona nangma le na chilhah te jousen ajui cheh ding, nangho lah a pasal jousen chep akitan sohkei ding'u ahi.This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.

11Nangman na bollou a hitheilou chu natahsa vunval abohlai chu nachelhah sohkei ding, hichun avetsah chu ahile keima le nangma kikah a kinoptona hijing ding ahi.You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

12Hiche hi nangma insung mite seh hilouvin, koi tobang nasoh nakol nangma insunga dinga nachoh doh ho jouse jong ahop tha cheh ding,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.

13Abonchauva chep nakitan cheh diu, na tahsauva maha napoh uchu keima toh atonsotna iki nopto na'uva um jing ding ahiye.Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.

14Koi tobang pasal khat tou hiche kinoptona cheptan hi bollou aum le ama chu kinoptona insunga kon'a paimanga um ding ahi, ajeh chu kinoptona ajuilou jeh ahi.But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

15Hichun Pathen'in Abraham ahoulimpi'n “Na inneipi Sarai jong Sarai na ti tahlou ding ahi, ijeh inem itile amanu min jong hi tu apatna Sarah hi ding ahitai.Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.

16Keiman amanu hi phatthei kaboh a chujongleh amanu a konna hi chapa khat kapeh ding nahi, hitia chu keiman amanu hi phatthei kaboh a ama jong “Sarah” chitin namtin nu hung hi ding mitin vaipi leng ding ho jeng jong amanu a konna hung peng doh ding ahiuve,” ati.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.”

17Hichun Abraham jong akun in tol lang aven anui tai, chuin alungthim in ama le ama akihouvin, Keima hi kum jakhat kahi nunga mipa kahi thei ding ham? Chule ka inneipi Sarah jong kum som ko le kum ko ahi jouva naosen iti anei thei ding ham? ati.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?”

18Abraham'in Pathen heng'a aseijin, “Ahi thei ding le Ishmael hi nangma phatthei bohna noiya um jing tahen.”And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”

19Hinlah Pathen'in adonbut in, “ahipoi Sarah, na inneipi in nangma a dinga chapa khat nahin peh ding, nangman hiche chapang chu amin Isaac nasah ding ahi. Chule keiman ama le ama nunga ason achilhah te dinga kinoptona chu atonsot geiya kinoptona a um jing dinga ka phudoh ding ahi.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.

20Ishmael jong chu phatthei kaboh ding nangman nathum ma bang'a ama jeng jong hatah a kapun sah ding, chule ama chilhah te ho jong hatah a pung dingu ahi.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.

21Hinlah keima kitepna vang chu Sarah in khovei tulai phat a hi nahin ding Isaac chuto bou ka phudoh ding ahi,” ati.But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”

22Pathen'in thu aseijou phat chun Abraham chu adalhatai.When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.

23Hichun Abraham'in jong achapa Ishmael ahin, asoh pasal ama insunga peng den hihen, sum a achoh tho hijongleh, Abraham mite lah a pasal jouse chu apuikhom in, Pathen'in aseipeh bang-bang chun hiche nikho ma-ma chun chep atanpeh sohkeijin ahi.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.

24Abraham'in chep akitan chun akum kum somko le kum ko ana lhing tai.So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

25Chule achapa Ishmael in chep akitan chun kumsom le kum thum ana lhing tan ahi.and his son Ishmael was thirteen;

26Ani lhon'in Abraham le achapa Ishmael chun nikhat in chep atan gel lhon'in ahi.Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.

27Chule a insunga pasal jouse, insunga pengden hihen lang gam dang mi soh dinga akichoh tho hijongleh aboncha ama toh thakhat a chep kitan tha cheh ahiuve.And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
