Mui 15
1 Amo hou fa: no, A:ibala: me da Gode sia: esala ba: su ganodini nabi. Gode da amane sia: i, “A: ibala: me! Mae beda: ma! Na da dima Gaga: su esala. Na da dima baligili bidi ida: iwane imunu.”
Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great.
2 Be A: ibala: me da bu adole i, “Ouligisu Hina Bagadedafa! Di da nama habodane ima: bela: ? Na da mano hame lai. Na bogosea, na hawa: hamosu dunu, Dama: sagase dunu amo Elia: isa amo da na nana liligi huluane lamu.”
And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.
3 Amola A: ibala: me amane sia: i, “Di da mano nama hame iba: le, na hawa: hamosu dunu fawane da na nana liligi huluane lamu.”
And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my heir.
4 Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea sia: ema amane misi, “Amo dunu da dia nana liligi hamedafa lamu. Be diagofedafa amo dia da: i hodo hamoi, hi fawane da dia nana liligi lamu.”
And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir.
5 Gode da A: ibala: me gadili oule asili, amane sia: i, “Muagado ba: legadoma! Gasumuni idima! Be huluane idimu da hamedei.” Amalalu, E da ema amane sia: i, “Dia mano ilia da amo gasumuni ilia idi defele ba: mu.”
And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars, if thou canst. And he said to him: So shall thy seed be.
6 A: ibala: me da Hina Gode dafawaneyale dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, Gode da A: ibala: me ea hou moloidafa hamoi defele ba: i.
Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
7 E da bu A: ibala: mema amane sia: i, “Na da Hina Godedafa. Na da di Ga: ladia fi moilai bai bagade E, amoga fisili masa: ne, amo soge lalegagumusa: guiguda: oule misi.”
And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land, and that thou mightest possess it.
8 Be A: ibala: me amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Ouligisudafa! Na da amo soge lalegagumusa: habodane dawa: ma: bela: ?”
But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it?
9 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Di bulamagau aseme, goudi amola sibi gawali amo huluane da ode osodoyale baligi, amo gaguli misa. Amola ‘dafe’ sio amola musuni sio gaguli misa.
And the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon.
10 A: ibala: me da amo liligi huluane gaguli misini, dogoa oudahida: le, la: idi afae la: idili ligisili, eno afae eno la: idili legei. Be sio e da dogoa hame oudahida: i.
And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other; but the birds he divided not.
11 Amalalu, gasa bagade sio buhiba eno ilia da amo liligi wamolamusa: misi. Be A: ibala: me da amo sio sefasi.
And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12 Eso da daloba, A:ibala: me da golai nanabunina asi ba: i. Amoga e da gasi dunasi bagade ba: beba: le, bagadewane beda: i galu.
And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.
13 Amalalu, Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Hou noga: le dawa: ma! Dia fa: no lalelegemu fi da eno dunu ilia soge ganodini, udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane esalumu. Ode 400 agoane, ilia da amo soge ganodini se nabawane esalumu.
And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years.
14 Be Na da fa: no ilima se iabe dunu fi ilima se iasu bidi imunu. Dia fi da fa: no amo soge yolesili, gadili masunu. Ilia da liligi bagade gagumu.
But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.
15 Be di da ode bagohame esalu, gagoalumu, olofoiwane dia aowalali amoga bu masunu. Dia da: i hodo da bogole, uli dogoi ganodini ba: mu.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age.
16 Be dia fi da asili, fi biyaduyale fifilai dagosea, ilia da guiguda: bu misunu. A: moulaide dunu ilia wadela: i hou da Na se iasu defei lama: ne amoga hame doaga: iba: le, dia fi da ode agoane aligili, bu misunu.
But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time.
17 Eso da gudu sa: i dagoi, amola gasi da doaga: loba, ganagu amoga mobi heda: lebe ba: i amola hanu gadodili nene, amo da lai gebo hu dadega: i gilisisu amo ganodini udigili asi.
And when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.
18 Amo esoga, Hina Gode da A: ibala: mema gousa: su hamoi. E amane sia: i, “Soge amo ea defei da Idibidi hano asili hano bagadedafa ea dio amo Iufala: idisi amoga doaga: le, amo soge huluane Na da dia mano fi ilima iaha.
That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt even to the great river Euphrates.
19 Amo soge ganodini dunu fi esalebe da Ginaide, Genisaide, Gadamunaide,
The Cineans and Cenezites, the Cedmonites,
20 Hidaide, Belisaide, Lefa: ide,
And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also,
21 A: moulaide, Ga: ina: naide, Gegasaide amola Yebusaide - amo dunu fi huluane ilia soge, Na da digaga fi ilima imunu.”
And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
