< 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.”
After these things, came the word of Yahweh unto Abram, in a vision saying, —Do not fear Abram, I am a shield to thee, thine exceeding great reward.
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 My Lord Yahweh, what canst thou give me, when, I, am going on childless, —and the heir of my house, is Eliezer, of Damascus,
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 said—Lo, to me, hast thou not given seed, —And lo! a son of my household, is mine 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 lo! the word of Yahweh [came] unto him, saying, This one, shall not be thine heir: But one who cometh forth of thy body—he shall be thine 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—Look steadfastly. I pray thee towards the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number, them, And he said to him, Thus, shall be thy seed.
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.
And he had faith in Yahweh, —so he reckoned it to him as righteousness.
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 unto him, —I, am Yahweh, who brought thee forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 Be A: ibala: me amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Ouligisudafa! Na da amo soge lalegagumusa: habodane dawa: ma: bela: ?”
And he said, My Lord Yahweh, whereby, can I know that I shall inherit 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 he said unto him, Take for me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle-dove and a young 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.
So he took for him all these, and divided them, in the midst, and placed each piece over against its fellow, but the birds, divided he not.
11 Amalalu, gasa bagade sio buhiba eno ilia da amo liligi wamolamusa: misi. Be A: ibala: me da amo sio sefasi.
Then came down the birds of prey upon the carcass, 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 it came to pass when, the sun, was about to go in, and, a deep sleep, had fallen upon Abram, lo! a terror a great darkness, was falling 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 he said to Abram—Thou must surely know, that, sojourners, will thy seed become in a land not theirs, and shall serve them and they will humble 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.
moreover also, the nation whom they will serve, I, am going to judge, and after that, shall they come forth 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.
But, thou, shalt go in unto thy fathers in peace, thou shalt 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.
And, in the fourth generation, shall they return hither, —for not complete, is the iniquity of the Amorites, as yet,
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.
So it came to pass when, the sun, had gone in, and, a thick darkness, had come on, that lo there was a smoking hearth and torch of fire, which passed through between these pieces.
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.
In that day, did Yahweh solemnise with Abram a covenant, saying, —To thy seed, have I given this land, from the river of Egypt as far as the great river—the river Euphrates:
19 Amo soge ganodini dunu fi esalebe da Ginaide, Genisaide, Gadamunaide,
the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite;
20 Hidaide, Belisaide, Lefa: ide,
and the Hittite and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim;
21 A: moulaide, Ga: ina: naide, Gegasaide amola Yebusaide - amo dunu fi huluane ilia soge, Na da digaga fi ilima imunu.”
and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
