Chakruok 15
1 Bangʼ ma, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Abram e fweny ni, “Abram, kik iluor. An e okumbani, kendo pokni maduongʼ moloyo.”
And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield you, your reward shall be very great.
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, Master [and] Lord, what will you give me? whereas I am departing without a child, but the son of Masek my home-born female slave, this Eliezer of Damascus [is mine heir.]
3 Kendo Abram nowacho niya, “Pod ok imiya nyithindo; omiyo achiel kuom wasumbini maga ema nobed jacham girkeni maga.”
And Abram said, [I am grieved] since you have given me no seed, but my home-born [servant] shall succeed me.
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.”
And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come out of you shall be your heir.
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 brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if you shall be able to number them fully, and he said, Thus shall your seed be.
6 Abram noyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye, mi Jehova Nyasaye nokwane kaka ngʼama kare.
And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for 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 God that brought you out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land to inherit.
8 To Abram nopenje niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ere kaka anyalo ngʼeyo ni obiro bedo girkeni mara?”
And he said, Master [and] Lord, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
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 to him, Take for me an heifer in her third year, and a she-goat in her third year, and a ram in his third year, and a dove and a 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.
So he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and set them opposite to each other, but the birds he did not divide.
11 Eka achudhe nopiyo e ringʼogo, to Abram noriembogi.
And birds came down upon the bodies, [even] upon the divided parts of them, and Abram sat down by them.
12 Kane chiengʼ podho, Abram nogore e nindo matut kendo mudho mandiwa noime.
And about sunset a trance fell upon Abram, and behold! a great gloomy terror falls upon him.
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 it was said to Abram, You shall surely know that your seed shall be a sojourner in a land not their won, and they shall enslave them, and afflict them, and humble them four hundred years.
14 To anakum piny ma noketgi wasumbini, bangʼe giniwuogi gia gi mwandu mogundho.
And the nation whoever they shall serve I will judge; and after this, they shall come forth hither with much property.
15 To kata kamano, inidag amingʼa mi itho gi kwe kiluwo kwereni.
But you shall depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age.
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 shall return hither, for the sins of the Amorites are not yet filled up, even until now.
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.
And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and behold a smoking furnace and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces.
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 a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.
19 Bende amiyogi pinje kaka piny jo-Keni, jo-Kenizi, jo-Kadmon,
The Kenites, and the Kenezites, and the Kedmoneans,
20 jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Refai,
and the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Raphaim,
21 jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Girgash, kod jo-Jebus.”
and the Amorites, and the Chananites, and the Evites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
