Semtilbu 15
1 Phat chomkhat jou nung hin; Pathen in gaovin Abram aki houlim pin hitin asei peh'e. “Abram imacha kicha hih in, ajeh chu keiman ka huhding; kipa man jong atam atam na chan ding ahi,” ati.
And so, these things having been transacted, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your protector, and your reward is exceedingly great.”
2 Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai Pathen loupi pen nangma phatna na phatthei hohi keiman chapa kanei poi, ajeh chu nangman chate ding nei peh lou jeh in, ka insung a soh a pang Eliezer Damascus amapa bou hin ka gou alo ding joh in aum tai.
And Abram said: “Lord God, what will you give to me? I may go without children. And the son of the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.”
3 Pathen nang man keima chilhah ding a chikhai ding, neipe ta pon, hijeh a chu ka sohte lah a khat hin ka gou alo ding ahi tai.
And Abram added: “Yet to me you have not given offspring. And behold, my servant born in my house will be my heir.”
4 Pathen in ama chu ahoulim pin, “Ahipoi nangma soh hon na gou alo thei lou ding ahi, nangma a kona chapa um ding ama chun na gou alo ding ahi.”
And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: “This one will not be your heir. But he who will come from your loins, the same will you have for your heir.”
5 Hichun Pathenin Abram chu polama akou doh in aki hou pin, “Vanchung lam ven Ahsi ho khu simtem in nasim jou nah em? Hitobang chu ahi na chilhah atam ding dan chu,” ati.
And he brought him outside, and he said to him, “Take in the heavens, and number the stars, if you can.” And he said to him, “So also will your offspring be.”
6 Chuin Abram in jong Pakaiya tahsan na dihtah in aneitan ahile hichu ama ding in dihchan nan akisimpeh tai.
Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
7 Chujou vin Pathen in Abram ahoulimpi kit in, “Hiche gamhi nalo ding in na pe-ing'e tia Chaldea gam Ur khopia kona nangma na hin puidoh a Pakai chu keima kahi,” ati.
And he said to him, “I am the Lord who led you away from Ur of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land, and so that you would possess it.”
8 Hichun Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai ka Pathen hiche hi kalo ding ahi ti ipia iti kahet doh thei ding ham?” ati.
But he said, “Lord God, in what way may I be able to know that I will possess it?”
9 Hichun Pathen in Abram ahou lim pin ajah a, “Bongnou kum thum lhingsa khat toh, kelngoi chal kumthum lhingsa khat toh, chule vahui nou khat le vapal nou khat ka henga hin choi tan,” ati peh e.
And the Lord responded by saying: “Take for me a cow of three years, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years, also a turtle-dove and a pigeon.”
10 Hichun Abram in hichengse chu ape doh in athat in, hichun ahapsat cheh in, ahap lang ton alupsah in hinlah vacha ho vang chu asemkeh poi.
Taking all these, he divided them through the middle, and placed both parts opposite one another. But the birds he did not divide.
11 Chuin muthongho ahung lenglhao vin hiche sa kikoi ho chu ane kigo uvin ahile Abram in muthongho chu anodoh jin ahi.
And birds descended upon the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
12 Chuin nisa alhum dingkon in Abram ahung imut soh tan, chu jongle tijat umtah muthim lhangkhal ahung jing in amapa chu ahin jinkhum tai.
And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a dread, great and dark, invaded him.
13 Hichun Pathen in Abram ahoulimpi in, “Nangman thonlou dinga nahet ding chu na chilhah hohi gam danga hung mah thah diu ahiye, amaho se chu kum jali sunga mi bol genthei thoh'a ga um ding ahiuve.
And it was said to him: “Know beforehand that your future offspring will be sojourners in a land not their own, and they will subjugate them in servitude and afflict them for four hundred years.
14 Ahin keiman hiche nam sugenthei ho chu ka phulah ding ahi, chule phat ahung sot a achaina teng amaho chu hatah a nei le gou ahin nei diu ahi.
Yet truly, I will judge the nation that they will serve, and after this they will depart with great substance.
15 Nangman vang lungmong sel'a na pute heng na jot ding, chule na kum lhing set'a na hinkho kichai a na kivui ding ahiye.
But you will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age.
16 Chule amaho hi khangli ahung lhin phat le hiche gam'a hi hung ki nungle kit diu ahi, ajeh chu tuchan gei hin Amor mite khan gitlouna hi pilhing lou lai ahiye,” ati.
But in the fourth generation, they will return here. For the iniquities of the Amorites are not yet completed, even to this present time.”
17 Chuin nisa alhum phat in mu athim tan ahile, meikhu belsung khat ah mei al-lenglung khat le meivah tobang khat ahung kitol in, hiche pi chu sa kihapsat a kikoi teni kah achun ahung kitol lelen ahi.
Then, when the sun had set, there came a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.
18 Hichun Pathen in Abram chu hitin a kihoulimpi in, kinoptona aneilhon in hiche nichun, “Keiman nason na chilhahte kapeh gam chu hiche hi ahi, Egypt gamgi apat luipi dung gei Euphrate vadung gei,
On that day, God formed a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your offspring I will give this land, from the river of Egypt, even to the great river Euphrates:
19 Gamsung tutua Kenites, Kenizzites chule Kadmonites ten atoupha se,
the land of the Kenites and the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites
20 Hittites mite Perizzites mite chule Rephaites miten atoupha se,
and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, likewise the Rephaim,
21 Amorites mite ahi-uvin, Canaan mite ahiuvin, Girgash miho ahi uvin, chule Jebus miho gam ahi uve,” ati.
and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
