Chakruok 15
1 Bangʼ ma, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Abram e fweny ni, “Abram, kik iluor. An e okumbani, kendo pokni maduongʼ moloyo.”
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 To Abram nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, en angʼo ma dimiya to pod asiko ka aonge nyathi kendo jacham mwanduna en mana Eliezer ja-Damaski?”
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 Kendo Abram nowacho niya, “Pod ok imiya nyithindo; omiyo achiel kuom wasumbini maga ema nobed jacham girkeni maga.”
And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.
4 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni ok nobed jacham girkeni magi, to wuowi ma owuok e ringri iwuon ema nobed jacham girkeni magi.”
Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.
5 Nogole oko mowachone niya, “Rang polo malo kendo kwan sulwe ka dipo ni inyalo kwanogi.” Eka nowachone niya, “Omiyo mano e kaka nyikwayi nobedi.”
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 noyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye, mi Jehova Nyasaye nokwane kaka ngʼama kare.
And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
7 Kendo nowachone niya, “An e Jehova Nyasaye manogoloi Ur piny jo-Kaldea mondo amiyigo obed girkeni mari.”
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 To Abram nopenje niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ere kaka anyalo ngʼeyo ni obiro bedo girkeni mara?”
And he said, O Lord God, how may I be certain that it will be mine?
9 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nonyise niya, “Kelna roya bwongʼ, diel kod im mahikgi adek, adek kaachiel gi akuch odugla kod nyathi akuru.”
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 nokelone magi duto, nongʼadogi diriyo moro ka moro kendo okelo nusegi moro ka moro omanyore gi wadgi, to kata kamano, winy ne ok ongʼado.
All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.
11 Eka achudhe nopiyo e ringʼogo, to Abram noriembogi.
And evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.
12 Kane chiengʼ podho, Abram nogore e nindo matut kendo mudho mandiwa noime.
Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.
13 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ngʼe malongʼo ni nyikwayi nobed jodak e piny moro ma ok margi, kendo nolokgi wasumbini mi nosandgi malit kuom higni mia angʼwen.
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 To anakum piny ma noketgi wasumbini, bangʼe giniwuogi gia gi mwandu mogundho.
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 To kata kamano, inidag amingʼa mi itho gi kwe kiluwo kwereni.
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 E tiengʼ mar angʼwen nyikwayi nodwogi ka, nikech e ndalogo ema noyud ka richo jo-Amor osemedore moromo kum.”
And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.
17 Kane chiengʼ osepodho kendo piny oyuso, tago mar mach madum iro kod chuk mach maliel nothinyore mi okadho e kind lemo mag gik manoyangʼ ka.
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 Odiechiengno Jehova Nyasaye notimo singruok gi Abram mowachone niya, “To ne nyikwayi, amiyogi pinyni, koa e aora mar Misri nyaka aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate.
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 Bende amiyogi pinje kaka piny jo-Keni, jo-Kenizi, jo-Kadmon,
The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
20 jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Refai,
And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
21 jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Girgash, kod jo-Jebus.”
And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
