Genesis 17:1-27
17 Eshi Abram a li e na eedula 99, Jehova okwa li e mu lihololela, ndele ta ti kuye: “Aame Kalunga Omunaenghono adishe. Kala omudiinini kwaame nokuulika kutya ove omuyuki.*
2 Ohandi ningi ehangano pokati ketu naave, nohandi ka hapupalifa oludalo loye.”
3 Opo nee Abram okwa twa eengolo, ndele te linyongamene pedu, na Kalunga okwa twikila okupopya naye, ta ti:
4 “Onda ninga ehangano naave, noto ka ninga xe yoiwana ihapu.
5 Edina loye kali fi vali Abram,* ndele otali ningi Abraham,* molwaashi ohandi ke ku ninga xe yoiwana ihapu.
6 Ohandi ka hapupalifa oludalo loye, ndele tali ka ninga oiwana, nomwoove otamu ka dja eehamba.
7 “Ohandi ka kaleka po ehangano tali kalelele pokati ketu naave, noludalo loye nosho yo omapupi aeshe, ndi kale Kalunga koye nokoludalo loye.
8 Ove nosho yo oludalo loye ohandi ke mu pa edu omo wa kala u li omunailongo. Edu alishe laKaanan otali ka ninga leni fiyo alushe, nohandi ka kala Kalunga keni.”
9 Kalunga okwa lombwela vali Abraham, a ti: “Ove, oludalo loye nosho yo omapupi aeshe omu na okudiinina ehangano lange.
10 Ehangano, olo li li pokati ketu naave, olo u na okudiinina noludalo loye, oleli kutya: Omulumenhu keshe e li mokati keni oku na okukenghwa.*
11 Omu na okuteta ko oshipa shokoxulo youlumenhu weni, notashi ka kala edidiliko lehangano olo li li pokati ketu nanye.
12 Omapupi aeshe, omulumenhu keshe, oo a wanifa omafiku ahetatu, keshe oo a dalelwa meumbo loye, keshe oo ehe fi womoludalo loye, nomunailongo oo a landwa noimaliwa, oku na okukenghwa.
13 Omulumenhu keshe a dalwa meumbo loye, nakeshe oo a landwa noimaliwa yoye oku na okukenghwa, nedidiliko lokukenghwa kweni otali ulike kutya ehangano, olo li li pokati ketu, otali kalelele.
14 Keshe oo ita tete ko oshipa shokoxulo youlumenhu waye, omunhu* oo oku na okudimwa* mo mokati kovanhu. Molwaashi ina diinina ehangano lange.”
15 Kalunga okwa lombwela vali Abraham, a ti: “Omukulukadi woye ino mu ifana vali Sarai,* osheshi edina laye otali ningi Sara.*
16 Ohandi ke mu nangeka noupuna note ke ku dalela okaana okamati. Ohandi ke mu nangeka noupuna, noludalo laye otali ka ninga oiwana, nomuye otamu ka dja eehamba.”
17 Opo nee Abraham okwa twa eengolo, ndele te linyongamene pedu, nokwa hovela okuyola, ndele te lipopile momutima ta ti: “Mbela omulumenhu weedula 100 ota dulu tuu vali okudala okaana, na Sara, oo e na eedula 90, ota dulu tuu vali okudala?”
18 Opo nee Abraham okwa lombwela Kalunga kashili, a ti: “Nangeka noupuna Ismael.”
19 Kalunga okwa lombwela Abraham, a ti: “Omukulukadi woye Sara ota ka dala okaana okamati, noto ke ka luka Isak.* Ohandi ka ninga ehangano tali kalelele naye nosho yo noludalo laye.
20 Ashike eilikano loye li na sha naIsmael onde li uda. Ismael ohandi ke mu nangeka noupuna nota ka kala e na oludalo lihapu, nohandi ke li hapupalifa neenghono. Ota ka dala eehamba 12, noludalo laye otali ka ninga oshiwana shinene.
21 Ohandi ka ninga ehangano naIsak, oo Sara te ke ku dalela pefimbo eli modula tai uya.”
22 Eshi Kalunga a mana okupopya naAbraham, okwa dja po puye.
23 Opo nee Abraham okwa kufa Ismael, ovalumenhu aveshe, ovo va dalelwa meumbo laye, nakeshe oo a landa noimaliwa nosho yo ovalumenhu aveshe, ovo va li meumbo laye, ndele te va tete oshipa shokoxulo youlumenhu wavo mefiku olo, ngaashi ashike Kalunga a li e mu lombwela.
24 Abraham okwa li e na eedula 99, eshi a tetwa oshipa shokoxulo youlumenhu waye.
25 Omonamati waye, Ismael, okwa li e na eedula 13, eshi a tetwa oshipa shokoxulo youlumenhu waye.
26 Mefiku olo, Abraham nomonamati waye, Ismael, ova li va kenghwa.
27 Ovalumenhu aveshe ovo va li meumbo laye, aveshe ovo va dalelwa meumbo laye nomunailongo keshe oo a landwa noimaliwa, aveshe ova li va kenghwa pamwe naye.
