Genesis 15
1 To pacoengah hnuksakhaih hoiah Angraeng ih lok Abram khaeah phak; Abram zii hmah; kai loe nang abuephaih, kalen parai nang ih tangqum ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.
2 Toe Abram mah, Angraeng Sithaw, timaw nang paek han? Kai loe caa tawn ai ah kho ka sak; Damaska ih Eliezer mah ni kai ih qawk to toep tih boeh, tiah a naa.
And Abram said, What will you give me? for I have no child and this Eliezer of Damascus will have all my wealth after me.
3 Abram mah, Khenah, kai han caa nang paek ai; to pongah ka imthung ah tapen kami mah ni kai ih qawk to toep tih boeh, tiah a naa.
And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.
4 To naah Angraeng ih lok anih khaeah angzoh; Na tamna mah nang ih qawk to toep mak ai; toe na takpum thung hoi tacawt na capa tangtang mah ni nang ih qawk to toep tih, tiah a naa.
Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.
5 Abram to tasa bangah caeh haih moe, anih khaeah, Van bang doeng tahang ah, cakaehnawk na kroek thaih nahaeloe, kroek ah; na caanawk loe to tiah om o tih, tiah a naa.
And he took him out into the open air, and said to him, Let your eyes be lifted to heaven, and see if the stars may be numbered; even so will your seed be.
6 Abram mah Angraeng to tang pongah, a tanghaih to toenghaih ah tapom pae.
And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
7 Anih khaeah, Kai loe hae prae hae qawk ah paek hanah, Khaldia prae Ur vangpui hoiah nang zaehoikung, Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
And he said to him, I am the Lord, who took you from Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land for your heritage.
8 Toe Abram mah, Angraeng Sithaw, hae prae hae qawk ah ka toep han, tito kawbang maw ka panoek thai tih? tiah a naa.
And he said, O Lord God, how may I be certain that it will be mine?
9 To pongah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Saning thumto kaom maitaw tae maeto, saning thumto kaom maeh amno maeto, saning thumto kaom tuu tae maeto, pahuu maeto hoi im pahuu maeto na sin ah, tiah a naa.
And he said, Take a young cow of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a sheep of three years old, and a dove and a young pigeon.
10 Abram mah to hmuennawk to sinh boih; hnetto ah a bawk moe, kalah kalah ah suek boih; toe tavaanawk loe hnetto ah bawk ai.
All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.
11 Moicaa tavaanawk loe kadueh qok moinawk nuiah azawk o tathuk, to naah Abram mah tavaanawk to huih boih.
And evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.
12 Niduem naah loe iih kangmue mah kae pongah Abraham loe iih; to naah zit kaom kalen parai khoving mah anih to khuk hmoek.
Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.
13 To naah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Na caanawk loe minawk prae ah angvin ah om o tih; to kaminawk ih tamna ah om o ueloe, nihcae mah saning cumvai palito thung pacaekthlaek o tih, tito panoek ah;
And he said to Abram, Truly, your seed will be living in a land which is not theirs, as servants to a people who will be cruel to them for four hundred years;
14 toe nangcae tamna ah patoh acaeng to lok ka caek han; to pacoengah ni nihcae to paroeai pop hmuenmaenawk hoiah tacawt o vop tih.
But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.
15 Nang loe lunghoih ta hoi nam panawk khaeah na caeh ueloe, mitong naah na phum o tih.
As for you, you will go to your fathers in peace; at the end of a long life you will be put in your last resting-place.
16 Na caanawk loe dung palito phak naah, hae ahmuen ah angzo o let tih; Amor kaminawk sakpazaehaih koep ai vop, tiah a naa.
And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.
17 Aduem bang khoving ah loe, akhue tacawt hmai kangqong, pa-aang ih hmai-im to tacawt moe, kalah kalah ah tapraek ih moi salakah caeh.
Then when the sun went down and it was dark, he saw a smoking fire and a flaming light which went between the parts of the bodies.
18 To na niah Angraeng mah Abram hoi lokmaihaih to sak moe, Izip prae vapui thung hoiah kalen parai vapui, Euphrates vapui;
In that day the Lord made an agreement with Abram, and said, To your seed have I given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 Ken, Ken-zi, Kadmon,
The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
20 Hit, Periz, Rephaim,
And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
21 Amor, Kanaan, Girgash hoi Jebus kaminawk ih prae loe na caanawk khaeah ka paek boeh, tiah a naa.
And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
