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.

¹When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.

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

²I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

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

³Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

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

⁴“As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the 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.

⁵Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

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

⁶I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

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.

⁷I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

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

⁸I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be 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.

⁹God said to Abraham, “As for you, you will keep my covenant, you and your seed after you throughout 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 you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

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

¹¹You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the 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.

¹²He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your seed.

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

¹³He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

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

¹⁴The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

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

¹⁵God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.

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.

¹⁶I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come 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?

¹⁷Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”

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

¹⁸Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”

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.

¹⁹God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. Isaac means “he laughs.” I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for 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 for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

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

²¹But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

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

²²When he finished talking with him, God went 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

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

²⁷All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
