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.”
यी सबै कुराहरू भएपछि दर्शनमा अब्रामकहाँ यसो भन्ने परमप्रभुको वचन आयो, “अब्राम, नडराऊ । म नै तेरो ढाल तेरो धेरै महान् इनाम हुँ ।”
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?”
अब्रामले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले मलाई के दिनुहुन्छ र?, किनभने म सनतानविहीन रहिरहेको छु र मेरो गरको उत्तराधिकार दमस्कसको एलीएजर हुनेछ ।”
3 Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
अब्रामले भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, तपाईंले मलाई कुनै पनि सन्तान नदिनुभएको हुनाले मेरो घरको भण्डारे नै मेरो उत्तराधिकार हुन्छ ।”
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.”
हेर्नुहोस्, त्यसपछि यसो भन्ने परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो, “यो मानिस तेरो उत्तराधिकार हुनेछैन; तर तेरै शरीरबाट जन्मिने नै तेरो उत्तराधिकारी हुनेछ ।”
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.”
अनि उहाँले तिनलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “आकाशतिर हेर् र ताराहरूलाई गन्, यदि तैले तिनीहरूलाई गन्न सक्छस् भने ।” अनि उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरा सन्तानहरू पनि यस्तै हुनेछन् ।”
6 Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
तिनले परमप्रभुमा विश्वास गरे र उहाँले यसलाई तिनको धार्मिकताको रूपमा गन्नुभयो ।”
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.”
उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “म परमप्रभु हुँ, जसले यो भूमि तँलाई दिन कल्दीहरूका ऊरबाट निकालेर ल्यायो ।”
8 But Abram replied, “Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”
तिनले उहाँलाई भने, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, मैले यो प्राप्त गर्नेछु भनी मैले कसरी थाहा पाउने नि?”
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.”
तब उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मलाई तिन वर्षको एउटा कोरली, तिन वर्षको बाख्राको एउटा पाठी, तिन वर्षको एउटा थुमा, एउटा ढुकुर र एउटा परेवा लेऊ ।”
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.
तिनले ती सबै उहाँकहाँ ल्याए र तिनीहरूलाई दुई-दुई फ्याक गरेर काटे अनि हरेक फ्याकलाई आमनेसामने गरी राखे, तर पक्षीहरूलाईचाहिँ तिनले दुई फ्याक पारेनन् ।
11 And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
शिकारी चराहरू सिनोहरूमाथि झम्टिँदा अब्रामले तिनीहरूलाई धपाए ।
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.
घाम डुब्न लाग्दा अब्राम अब्राम मस्न निद्रामा परे र हेर, तिनलाई गाढा र डरलाग्दो अन्धकारले छोप्यो ।
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.
त्यपछि परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरा सन्तानहरू तिनीहरूको आफ्नो नभएको (अर्काको) मुलुकमा प्रवासी हुनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई चार सय वर्षसम्म दास बनाइनेछन् र अत्याचार गरिनेछन् ।
14 But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.
तिनीहरूले सेवा गरेको देशको मैले न्यान गर्नेछु र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू प्रशस्त धन-सम्पत्तिहरूसहित निस्केर आउनेछन् ।
15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.
तर तँचाहिँ तेरा पिता-पूर्खाहरूकहाँ शान्तिमा जानेछस् र तँलाई वृद्धवस्थामा दफन गरिनेछ ।
16 In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
तिनीहरू चौथो पुस्तामा फेरि यहाँ आउनेछन्, किनकि एमोरीहरूको अधर्मको सिमा अझै पुगेको छैन ।”
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.
सूर्य अस्ताउँदा र साँझ पर्दा, हेर, धूवाँ आइरहेको मकल र बलिरहेको आगोको ज्वाला ती फ्याकहरूका बिच भएर गयो ।
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—
त्यसै दिन परमप्रभुले यसो भनेर अब्रामसँग करार बाँध्नुभयो, “म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई यसैद्वारा यो भूमि दिन्छु, जुन मिश्रादेखि महानदी अर्थात् युफ्रेटिससम्म छ-
19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
केनीहरू, कनज्जीहरू, कदोनीहरू,
20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
हित्तीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, रपाईहरू,
21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
एमोरीहरू, कनानीहरू, गिर्गाशीहरू र यबूसीहरूलाई दिन्छु ।
