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¶ A, i te mea ka iwa tekau ma iwa nga tau o Aperama, ka puta mai a Ihowa ki a Aperama, ka mea ki a ia, Ko ahau te Atua Kaha Rawa; haereere i mua i toku aroaro, kia tapatahi hoki te whakaaro.

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

²A ka waiho e ahau taku kawenata ki waenganui i a taua, ka tino whakanui rawa ano ahau i a koe.

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

³Na ka kupapa te kanohi o Aperama: a ka korero te Atua ki a ia, ka mea,

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

⁴¶ Na ko ahau, kei a koe taku kawenata, a ka matua koe mo nga iwi maha.

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.

⁵E kore hoki tou ingoa e huaina a muri ake nei ko Aperama, engari ko Aperahama te ingoa mou; ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei matua mo nga iwi maha.

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

⁶Ka meinga ano koe e ahau kia tino hua rawa, ka meinga koe e ahau hei take mo nga iwi, a ka puta mai nga kingi i roto i a koe.

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.

⁷¶ A ka whakapumautia e ahau taku kawenata ki waenganui oku, o koutou hoki ko ou uri i muri i a koe, o tera whakatupuranga, o tera whakatupuranga o ratou, hei kawenata mau tonu, a hei Atua ahau mou, mo ou uri hoki i muri i a koe.

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.

⁸A ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki ou uri hoki i muri i a koe, te whenua e noho manene na koe, te whenua katoa o Kanaana, hei kainga pumau; a hei Atua ahau mo ratou.

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

⁹I mea ano te Atua ki a Aperahama, Ina, ko koe, me whakarite e koe taku kawenata, e koutou ko ou uri i muri i a koe, e tera whakatupuranga, e tera whakatupuranga o ratou.

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

¹⁰Ko taku kawenata tenei hei whakaritenga ma koutou i waenganui oku, o koutou ko ou uri i muri i a koe; Me kokoti a koutou tane katoa.

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

¹¹Me kokoti e koutou to koutou kiri matamata: a ka waiho tena hei tohu mo te kawenata i waenganui oku, o koutou.

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.

¹²Me kokoti e koutou nga tamariki ina waru nga ra, nga tane katoa o tena whakatupuranga, o tena whakatupuranga o koutou, nga mea i whanau i roto i te whare, i hokona ranei ki te moni i tetahi tangata ke, ehara nei i te uri nou.

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.

¹³Me kokoti tonu te tangata i whanau i roto i tou whare, i hokona ranei ki tau moni, a ka mau taku kawenata ki o koutou kikokiko, hei kawenata mau tonu.

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.

¹⁴A, ko te tane kihai i kotia, kihai nei i kotia tona kiri matamata, ka hatepea atu tena wairua i roto i tona iwi; kua whakataka e ia taku kawenata.

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

¹⁵¶ A ka mea te Atua ki a Aperahama, Ko Harai, ko tau wahine, kaua e huaina tona ingoa ko Harai, engari ko Hara he ingoa mona.

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.

¹⁶A ko manaaki ahau i a ia, ka hoatu ano hoki i tetahi tama ki a koe i roto i a ia: ina, ka manaaki ahau i a ia, a hei whaea ia mo nga iwi; ka puta mai nga kingi mo nga iwi i roto i a ia.

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?

¹⁷Na ka kupapa te kanohi o Aperahama ki raro, a ka kata ia, ka mea hoki i roto i tona ngakau, Tera ranei e whanau he tama ma te tangata kua kotahi rau nei ona tau? e whanau tamariki ranei a Hara, te wahine kua iwa tekau nei ona tau?

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

¹⁸Na ka mea ake a Aperahama ki te Atua, Kia ora noa oti a Ihimaera ki tou aroaro!

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.

¹⁹Na ka mea te Atua, Ehara, ka whanau ta korua tama ko Hara; a me hua e koe tona ingoa ko Ihaka: ka whakapumau ano ahau i taku kawenata ki a ia, ki ona uri hoki i muri i a ia, hei kawenata mau tonu.

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.

²⁰Ko Ihimaera ia, na, kua whakarongo ahau ki a koe; nana, kua oti ia te manaaki e ahau, a ka meinga ia e ahau kia hua, kia tino nui rawa hoki; ka whanau ana tamariki kotahi tekau ma rua he ariki, a ka meinga ia e ahau hei iwi nui.

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

²¹Ka whakapumautia ia e ahau taku kawenata ki a Ihaka, ka whanau nei i a korua ko Hara a te taima e rite ana ki tenei o te tau e haere ake nei.

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

²²A ka mutu tana korero ki a ia, a mawehe atu ana te Atua i a Aperahama ki runga.

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.

²³¶ Katahi ka tongo a Aperahama i a Ihimaera i tana tama, ratou ko nga mea katoa i whanau i roto i tona whare, me nga mea katoa i hokona ki tana moni, nga tane katoa i roto i nga tangata o te whare o Aperahama; a kotia ana e ia to ratou kiri matamat a i taua ra pu ano, i pera me ta te Atua i korero ai ki a ia.

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

²⁴Na e iwa tekau ma iwa nga tau o Aperahama i te kotinga o tona kiri matamata.

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

²⁵Kotahi tekau ma toru hoki nga tau o tana tama o Ihimaera i te kotinga o tona kiri matamata.

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

²⁶No taua rangi pu ano i kotia ai a Aperahama, raua ko tana tama, ko Ihimaera.

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

²⁷A i kotia ngatahitia me ia nga tangata katoa o tona whare, nga mea i whanau i roto i te whare, me nga mea i hokona ki te moni i te tangata iwi ke.
