After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram. I am thy shield, thy exceedingly 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.
And Abram said, O lord Jehovah, what will thou give me, since I go childless. And he who shall be possessor 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.
And Abram said, Behold, thou have given no seed to me. And, lo, a man born in 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.
And, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, saying, This man shall not be thine heir, but he who shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine 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.
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be.
6 Te daengah BOEIPA te a tangnah tih anih kah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
And he believed in Jehovah, and he reckoned it to him for 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.
And he said to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee 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.
And he said, O lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall 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.
And he said to him, Take a heifer three years old for me, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle 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.
And he took all these for him, and divided them in the midst, and laid 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.
And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and 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.
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon 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.
And he said to Abram, Know of a certainty that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs. And shall serve them, and they shall afflict them 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.
And also I will judge that nation, whom they shall serve, and afterward they shall come out with great substance.
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 thou will go to thy fathers in peace; thou 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.
And in the fourth generation they shall come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.
17 Khomik tla tih a hmuep a pha vaengah hmaipom hmaikhu neh hmaithoi hmai te maehpoel laklo ah a pak.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these 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,
In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
