1 Hekah olka phoeiah tah BOEIPA kah olka te mikhlam ah Abram taengla thoeng tih, “Abram rhih boeh. Kai he nang kah photling la ka om, na thapang bahoeng yet ni,” a ti nah.
After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Fear not, Abram! I am your shield and your very great reward.”
2 Tedae Abram loh, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, kai ham balae na khueh? Kai loh cakol la ka van tih kamah im kah Damasaku hoel Eliezer ni ca la ka pang “a ti nah.
Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
3 Te phoeiah Abram loh, “Kai taengah tiingan nan paek moenih he. Te dongah ka im kah camoe ni ka pang coeng he,” a ti nah.
Abram said, “Since you have given me no descendant, see, the steward of my house is my heir.”
4 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah olka loh Abram la, “Anih na pang pawt vetih namah ko khui lamkah aka thoeng te tloep na pang eh ne,” a ti nah.
Then, behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir; but rather the one who will come from your own body will be your heir.”
5 Te phoeiah Abram te poeng la a khuen tih, “Vaan ke paelki lamtah aisi ke tae mai lah. Amih te na tae thai atah a thui vanbangla nang kah tiingan la om van ni,” a ti nah.
Then he brought him outside, and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So will your descendants be.”
6 Te daengah BOEIPA te a tangnah tih anih kah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
He believed Yahweh, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
7 Te dongah ni anih taengah, “Hekah khohmuen he nang taengah paek ham neh pang sak ham Khalden Ur lamkah nang aka khuen te BOEIPA kamah ni,” a ti nah.
He said to him, “I am Yahweh, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.”
8 Tedae anih loh, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, anih ka pang ni tila metlamlae ka ming eh?” a ti nah.
He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
9 Te dongah Abram la, “Kai taengah vaitola kum thum neh maae a la kum thum, tutal kum thum, vahu, vahuica hang khuen,” a ti nah.
Then he said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a dove, and a young pigeon.”
10 Te rhoek boeih te a taengla a khuen pah phoeiah a laklung ah a saek. Te phoeiah a kaekvang te a hui taengah a hmaitoh sak tih a tloeng pah. Tedae vathawt te tah saek pawh.
He brought him all these, and cut them in two, and placed each half opposite the other, but he did not divide the birds.
11 Te vaengah vatlung loh maehrhok te a cuk thil tih Abram loh a hawt.
When the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12 Tedae khomik tla tih Abram khaw ih ham a yalh thuk vaengah a soah mueirhih tamyin loh khuk a tlak thil tarha.
Then when the sun was going down, Abram fell sound asleep and, behold, a deep and terrifying darkness overwhelmed him.
13 Te phoeiah Abram te, “Na tiingan loh amah khohmuen mueh ah yinlai la om ni. Te vaengah amih te thotat uh vetih kum ya li a phaep uh ni tila ming rhoe ming laeh,” a ti nah.
Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years.
14 Tedae a thotat pah namtom te khaw kai loh lai ka tloek vetih a hnukah nang kah tiingan tah khuehtawn a yet neh ha pawk uh ni.
I will judge that nation that they will serve, and afterward they will come out with abundant possessions.
15 Te vaengah nang tah a then la na sampok neh na pa rhoek taengah na cet vetih sading la n'up uh ni.
But you will go to your fathers in peace, and you will be buried in a good old age.
16 Tedae tahae due Amori kathaesainah a rhoeh pawt dongah tahae lamkah a khong li vaengah ha bal uh ni.
In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.”
17 Khomik tla tih a hmuep a pha vaengah hmaipom hmaikhu neh hmaithoi hmai te maehpoel laklo ah a pak.
When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between the pieces.
18 Tekah khohnin ah BOEIPA loh Abram taengah moi a boh tih, “Tahae kah khohmuen he Egypt tuiva lamkah tuiva puei Perath tuiva duela,
On that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I hereby give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—
19 Keni te khaw, Kenizzi te khaw, Kadmoni khaw,
the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20 Khitti khaw, Perizzi khaw, Rapha khaw,
the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaites,
21 Amori khaw, Kanaani khaw, Girgashi khaw, Jebusi khaw, nang kah tiingan taengah ka paek coeng,” a ti nah.
the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
