¹And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the Almighty ùGod: walk before my face, and be perfect.

¹[Ny nanovan'Andriamanitra ny anaran'i Abrama mivady, sy ny nanendreny ny fora ho famantarana ny fanekena nataony taminy, ary ny amin'ny hahaterahan'Isaka] Ary rehefa sivy amby sivi-folo taona Abrama, dia nisehoan'i Jehovah izy ka nitenenany hoe: Izaho no Andriamanitra Tsitoha; mandehana eo anatrehako, ka aoka ho tsy misy tsiny ianao.

²And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.

²Fa Izaho hanao ny fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminao ary hahamaro anao indrindra.

³And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,

³Dia niankohoka Abrama; ary Andriamanitra niteny taminy ka nanao hoe:

⁴It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.

⁴Raha ny amiko, dia, indro, aminao ny fanekeko, ka ho tonga rain'ny firenena maro ianao.

⁵And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

⁵Ary ny anaranao tsy hatao hoe Abrama intsony, fa hatao hoe Abrahama, satria efa nataoko ho rain'ny firenena maro ianao.

⁶And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

⁶Dia hahamaro ny taranakao indrindra Aho, ka hataoko ho firenena maro ianao; ary hisy mpanjaka hiseho avy aminao.

⁷And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

⁷Ary haoriko ny fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminao mbamin'ny taranakao mandimby anao hatramin'ny taranaka fara mandimby, ho fanekena mandrakizay, mba ho Andriamanitrao sy ny taranakao mandimby anao Aho.

⁸And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them.

⁸Ary homeko anao sy ny taranakao any aorianao ny tany fivahinianao, dia ny tany Kanana rehetra, ho fananana mandrakizay; ary ho Andriamaniny Aho.

⁹And God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.

⁹Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin'i Abrahama: Fa ny aminao kosa, dia hitandrina ny fanekeko ianao, dia ianao sy ny taranakao mandimby anao hatramin'ny taranaka fara mandimby.

¹⁰This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee -- that every male among you be circumcised.

¹⁰Ary izao no fanekeko ho amiko sy ho aminareo sy ny taranakao mandimby anao, dia izay hotandremanareo: hoforana ny lehilahy rehetra eo aminareo.

¹¹And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

¹¹Dia hoforana ianareo; ary ho famantarana ny fanekena ho amiko sy ho aminareo izany.

¹²And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you -- he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.

¹²Ny zazalahy teraka havaloana eo aminareo no hoforana, dia ny lehilahy rehetra amin'ny taranakareo hatramin'ny fara mandimby: na ny ompikely. na izay novidim-bola tamin'ny hafa firenena ka tsy avy amin'ny taranakao.

¹³He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

¹³Tsy maintsy hoforana ny ompikelinao sy izay novidinao vola; ary ny fanekeko dia ho ao amin'ny nofonareo ho fanekena mandrakizay.

¹⁴And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.

¹⁴Ary ny lehilahy tsy voafora, izay tsy mbola noforana, dia hofongorana tsy ho amin'ny fireneny; efa nivadika ny fanekeko izy.

¹⁵And God said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

¹⁵Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin'i Abrahama: Ny amin'i Saray vadinao, dia tsy mba hataonao Saray intsony ny anarany, fa Saraha no ho anarany.

¹⁶And I will bless her, and I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.

¹⁶Ary hitahy azy Aho ka hampanana azy zazalahy ho anao; eny, hitahy azy Aho, ka ho tonga firenena maro izy; ary hisy mpanjakan'ny firenena maro avy aminy.

¹⁷And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

¹⁷Dia niankohoka Abrahama ary nitsiky, dia nanao anakampo hoe: Hiteraka va aho, izay efa zato taona? ary hiteraka va Saraha, izay efa sivi-folo taona?

¹⁸And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!

¹⁸Ary hoy Abrahama tamin'Andriamanitra : Enga anie ka Isimaela no ho velona eo anatrehanao!

¹⁹And God said, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

¹⁹Ary hoy Andriamanitra: Tsia, fa Saraha vadinao hiteraka zazalahy aminao; ary ny anarany dia hataonao hoe Isaka; ary ny fanekeko haoriko aminy ho fanekena mandrakizay ho an'ny taranany mandimby azy.

²⁰And for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

²⁰Ary ny amin'Isimaela, dia efa nihaino anao Aho; indro, efa nitahy azy Aho ka hahamaro ny taranany sy hampitombo azy indrindra; hiteraka andriana roa ambin'ny folo izy, satria efa notendreko ho firenena lehibe.

²¹But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.

²¹Nefa ny fanekeko haoriko amin'Isaka. izay haterak'i Saraha aminao raha avy ny taona toy izao.

²²And he left off talking with him; and God went up from Abraham.

²²Ary rehefa vita ny teny nataony taminy, dia niakatra Andriamanitra niala teo amin'i Abrahama.

²³And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money -- every male among the people of Abraham's house -- and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.

²³Koa dia nalain'i Abrahama Isimaela zanany sy ny ompikeliny rehetra mbamin'izay rehetra novidiny vola dia ny lehilahy rehetra tao an-tranony; dia noforany androtrizay indrindra ireo araka izay nolazain'Andriamanitra taminy.

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

²⁴Ary efa sivy amby sivi-folo taona Abrahama, raha noforana izy.

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

²⁵Ary efa telo ambin'ny folo taona Isimaela zanany, raha noforana izy.

²⁶In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

²⁶Androtrizay indrindra no namorana an'i Abrahama sy Isimaela zanany;ary ny lehilahy rehetra tao an-tranony, dia ny ompikely mbamin'izay novidim-bola tamin'ny hafa firenena, dia samy niara-noforana taminy avokoa.

²⁷and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

²⁷ary ny lehilahy rehetra tao an-tranony, dia ny ompikely mbamin'izay novidim-bola tamin'ny hafa firenena, dia samy niara-noforana taminy avokoa.
