After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying: 'Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield, thy reward shall be exceeding 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: 'O Lord GOD, what wilt Thou give me, seeing I go hence childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is 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 said: 'Behold, to me Thou hast given no seed, and, lo, one born in my house is to be mine 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, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying: 'This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine 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 forth abroad, and said: 'Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if thou be able to count them'; and He said unto him: 'So shall thy seed be.'

6 Chuin Abram in jong Pakaiya tahsan na dihtah in aneitan ahile hichu ama ding in dihchan nan akisimpeh tai.

And he believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness.

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 unto him: 'I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit 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.

And he said: 'O Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit 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 He said unto him: 'Take Me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young 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.

And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other; but the birds divided he not.

11 Chuin muthongho ahung lenglhao vin hiche sa kikoi ho chu ane kigo uvin ahile Abram in muthongho chu anodoh jin ahi.

And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and 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 it came to pass, that, when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a dread, even a great darkness, fell upon 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 He said unto Abram: 'Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them 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.

and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterward shall they come out 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 thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in 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.

And in the fourth generation they shall come back hither; for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.'

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.

And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and there was thick darkness, behold a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces.

In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates;

19 Gamsung tutua Kenites, Kenizzites chule Kadmonites ten atoupha se,

the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,

20 Hittites mite Perizzites mite chule Rephaites miten atoupha se,

and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,

21 Amorites mite ahi-uvin, Canaan mite ahiuvin, Girgash miho ahi uvin, chule Jebus miho gam ahi uve,” ati.

and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.'
