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.

¹And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, `I [am] God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;

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

²and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.`

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

³And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,

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

⁴`I — lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

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

⁵and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

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

⁶and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from 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.

⁷`And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

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

⁸and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.`

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.

⁹And God saith unto Abraham, `And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;

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

¹⁰this [is] My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you [is] to be circumcised;

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

¹¹and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.

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.

¹²`And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed;

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

¹³he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;

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

¹⁴and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.`

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

¹⁵And God saith unto Abraham, `Sarai thy wife — thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

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.

¹⁶and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations — kings of peoples are from her.`

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?

¹⁷And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, `To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah — daughter of ninety years — bear?`

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

¹⁸And Abraham saith unto God, `O that Ishmael may live before Thee;`

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.

¹⁹and God saith, `Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.

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.

²⁰As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

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

²¹and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;`

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

²²and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.

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.

²³And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money — every male among the men of Abraham`s house — and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.

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

²⁴And Abraham [is] a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

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

²⁵and Ishmael his son [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

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.

²⁶in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

²⁷ary 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 the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger — have been circumcised with him.
