Genesis 15
1 After these events, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”
Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Abram iti maysa a sirmata, a kunana, “Saanka nga agbuteng, Abram! “Siak ti salaknibmo ken ti naidaklan unay a gunggonam.”
2 But Abram replied, “O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
Kinuna ni Abram, “Apo a Yahweh, anianto ti ipaaymo kaniak, ta kastoy met latta, awananak iti anak, ken ti agtawid iti balayko ket ni Elieser a taga-Damasco?”
3 Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
Kinuna ni Abram, “Agsipud ta awan intedmo kaniak a kaputotan, kitaem, ti katalek iti balayko ket isu ti agtawid.”
4 Then the word of the LORD came to Abram, saying, “This one will not be your heir, but one who comes from your own body will be your heir.”
Ket, pagammoan, immay kenkuana ti sao ni Yahweh, a kunana, “Saan a daytoy a lalaki ti agtawid iti sanikuam; ngem ketdi ti agtaudto a mismo iti bagim ti agtawidto.”
5 And the LORD took him outside and said, “Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able.” Then He told him, “So shall your offspring be.”
Kalpasanna, impanna isuna iti ruar ket kinunana, “Tumangadka iti langit, ket bilangem dagiti bituen, no kabaelam ida a bilangen.” Ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kastanto met ngarud dagiti kaputotam.”
6 Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
Namati isuna kenni Yahweh, ken imbilangna kenkuana daytoy a kinalinteg.
7 The LORD also told him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”
Kinunana kenkuana, “Siak ni Yahweh a nangiruar kenka idiay Ur dagiti Caldeo, tapno itedko kenka daytoy a daga a tawidem.”
8 But Abram replied, “Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”
Kinunana “Apo a Yahweh, kasanonto a maammoak a tawidekto daytoy?”
9 And the LORD said to him, “Bring Me a heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, along with a turtledove and a young pigeon.”
Ket kinunana kenkuana, “Mangidatagka kaniak iti tallo ti tawenna a baka a saan pay a nagmaya, tallo ti tawenna a kabaian a kalding, tallo ti tawenna a kalakian a karnero, kalapati ken sibong a pagaw.”
10 So Abram brought all these to Him, split each of them down the middle, and laid the halves opposite each other. The birds, however, he did not cut in half.
Impanna amin kenkuana dagitoy, ket ginuduana dagitoy. Ket inkabilna ti tunggal kagudua iti batug ti kapisina, ngem saanna a ginudua dagiti billit.
11 And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
Idi bimmaba dagiti billit a mangan kadagiti natay nga ayup, inabog ni Abram dagitoy.
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.
Ket idi lumlumneken ti init, nakaturog iti nasimbeng ni Abram ket pagammoan, nasallukoban isuna iti nakaam-amak ken nakabutbuteng a sipnget.
13 Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Abram, “Ammoem koma a gangannaetto dagiti kaputotam iti saanda a daga, ket matagabudanto ken maparigatdanto iti las-ud iti uppat a gasut a tawen.
14 But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.
Ukomekto dayta a nasion a pagserbianda, ket rummuardanto kalpasan nga addaan iti nawadwad a sanikua.
15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.
Ngem mapankanto kadagiti amam a sitatalna, ket lakaykanto unayen inton maitanemka.
16 In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
Iti maikapat a henerasion ket umaydanto manen ditoy. Ta saan pay a nadanon ti pagpatinggaan ti kinadagsen iti basol dagiti Amorreo.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the carcasses.
Idi limneken ti init ket nasipngeten, adda maysa nga agas-asuk a banga ken sumsumged nga aluten a limmasat iti nagbabaetan dagiti pidaso ti ayup.
18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land—from the river of Egypt to the great River Euphrates—
Iti dayta nga aldaw, nakitulag ni Yahweh kenni Abram, kunana, “Kadagiti kaputotamto, itedko daytoy a daga, manipud iti karayan ti Egipto inggana iti dakkel a karayan, ti Eufrates—
19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
dagiti Kineo, dagiti Kenizeo, dagiti Kadmoneo,
20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
dagiti Heteo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Refaim,
21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Girgaseo ken dagiti Jebuseo.”
