Genesis 15
1 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.
MAHOPE mai oia mau mea, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Aberama ma ka hihio, i mai la, Mai makau oe, e Aberama, owau no kou palekaua a me kau uku nui loa.
2 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?
I aku la o Aberama, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, heaha kau mea e haawi mai ai ia'u, no ka mea, ke hele keiki ole nei au, a o ka puuku o kuu hale, oia o Eliezera no Damaseko.
3 And Abram said, Behold, thou have given no seed to me. And, lo, a man born in my house is my heir.
I aku la o Aberama, Aia hoi, aole oe i haawi mai i keiki na'u; a o kekahi i hanau iloko o ko'u hale, oia kuu hooilina.
4 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.
Aia hoi, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai, Aole keia o kou hooilina; aka, o ka mea e hele mai ana mailoko mai ou iho, o kou hooilina ia.
5 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.
Kai aku la oia ia ia mawaho, i mai la, E nana aku oe iluna i ka lani, e helu i na hoku, ina e hiki ia oe ke helu: i mai la kela ia ia, Pela auanei kau poe mamo.
6 And he believed in Jehovah, and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.
Manaoio aku la oia ia Iehova, a hooili mai la oia ia mea i pono nona.
7 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.
I mai la kela ia ia, Owau no Iehova nana oe i lawe mai nei, mai Ura o ko Kaledea mai, e haawi aku nou i keia aina i wahi e noho ai.
8 And he said, O lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
I aku la ia, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, pehea la au e ike ai, e ili mai ana keia aina no'u?
9 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.
I mai la kela ia ia, E lalau oe na'u i bipiwahine akolu makahiki ona, i kaowahine akolu makahiki ona, i hipakane akolu ona makahiki, i manu kuhukuku, a me ka nunu opiopio.
10 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.
Lawe mai la oia ia mau mea a pau io na la, a mahele ae la ia lakou mawaena, a waiho iho la i kela apana i keia apana e ku pono aku i kona hoa: aka, aole ia i mahele i na manu.
11 And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
A lele mai la na manu maluna iho o na mohai, hoopuehu aku la o Aberama ia lakou.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
A i ka napoo ana o ka la, ua pauhia o Aberama i ka hiamoe nui; aia hoi, kau mai la ka, weliweli a me ka pouli nui maluna iho ona.
13 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.
Olelo mai la ia ia Aberama, E ike pono oe, e lilo ana kau poe mamo i malihini ma ka aina e aole no lakou, a e hookauwa aku na lakou; a e hoinoia mai lakou e kela poe i na haneri makahiki eha.
14 And also I will judge that nation, whom they shall serve, and afterward they shall come out with great substance.
A o ua lahuikanaka la nana lakou e hooluhi mai, na'u lakou e hoohewa aku: a mahope iho, e puka mai lakou iwaho me ka waiwai nui.
15 But thou will go to thy fathers in peace; thou will be buried in a good old age.
E huiia'ku oe i ou mau makua me ka malu; a e kanuia oe i ka wa elemakule maikai.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.
Aka, e hoi hou mai no lakou ia nei i ka ha o ka hanauna: no ka mea, aole i lawa ka hewa o ka Amori i nei manawa.
17 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.
A napoo iho la ka la, a poeleele iho la, aia hoi, nee ae la ka umuahi e punohu ana a me ke kukui e a ana mawaena o ua mau apana la.
18 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:
Ia la no, hoopaa iho la oia i berita me Aberama, i ka i ana mai, Ua haawi aku no wau i keia aina no kau poe mamo, mai ka muliwai o Aigupita a hiki aku i ka muliwai nui, ka muliwai o Euperate:
19 the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
I ka Kena, i ka Keniza, i ka Kademona,
20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
I ka Heta, i ka Periza, me ka Repaima,
21 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
I ka Amora, i ka Kanaana, i ka Giregasa, a me ka Iebusa.
