Genesis 15
1 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.
Hathnukkhu, Abram koe BAWIPA e lawk vision lahoi ka tho e teh, Abram, taket hanh kai teh nange bahling lah ka o, na tawkphu hmu hane a len poung telah atipouh.
2 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.
Hatei Abram ni, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, ca tawn laipalah ka o e na hmu nahlangva, bangmaw na poe han. Im e râw kacoekung teh Damaskas tami Eliezer doeh telah atipouh.
3 And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.
Hahoi Abram ni khenhaw! kai ca na poe hoeh. Ka im kaawm e ni doeh râw a coe toe telah bout atipouh.
4 Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.
BAWIPA e lawk Abram koe ka tho e teh, hete tami kaawm e ni nange râw coe mahoeh telah atipouh.
5 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.
Hahoi Abram hah alawilah a hrawi teh, kalvan lah khenhaw! âsi na touk thai pawiteh touk haw, hot patetlah na catoun ka pungdaw sak han.
6 And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
Abram ni BAWIPA a yuem dawkvah, ahnie a yuemnae hah a lannae lah a khoe pouh.
7 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.
Hahoi kai ni hete ram poe hane hoi coe sak hane ka ngai dawk doeh Khaldean taminaw a onae Ur kho hoi nang kahrawikung kai teh BAWIPA doeh telah atipouh.
8 And he said, O Lord God, how may I be certain that it will be mine?
Hatei ahni ni Bawipa Jehovah, hete bangtelah hoi maw ka coe han tie ka panue han telah atipouh.
9 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.
BAWIPA ni Abram koe a dei pouh e teh, kum thum touh e maito, kum thum touh e hmaela, kum thum touh e tutan buet touh âbakhuca hoi bakhuca buet touh thokhai loe atipouh.
10 All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.
Hote hnonaw pueng ahni koe a thokhai pouh teh a lungui hoi a sei teh avoivang lah a hruek. Hatei tava teh sei hoeh.
11 And evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.
Hote moinaw koevah langtanaw a tho navah Abram ni a pâlei.
12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.
Hatei kanî a khup toteh, Abram teh mat a i. Hahoi khenhaw! puenghoi hmonae ni a tho sin teh roumkalue.
13 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;
Hathnukkhu BAWIPA ni Abram koe, na ca catounnaw ni ayânaw e ram dawk imyin lah ao awh vaiteh, kum 400 touh thung rektapnae hoi san lah ao awh han tie kamcengcalah panuek.
14 But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.
Hatei ahnimanaw san lah ka hno e taminaw kai ni lawk ka ceng han. Hathnukkhu hnopai moikapap hoi a tâco awh han.
15 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.
Nang teh mintoenaw koe karoumcalah na cei vaiteh matawng lahoi na pakawp awh han.
16 And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.
Hateiteh a se palinae dawk hete ram dawk bout a ban awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh Amornaw ni thoesaknae kuep sak lah awm hoeh rah, telah atipouh.
17 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.
Kanî a khup teh kho bout a hmo torei teh hmaikhu tâconae hlaam hoi hmai paangnae hmaiim teh moi tâtueng e rahak yuengyoe a kâhlai.
18 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:
Hote hnin dawk BAWIPA ni Abram hoi lawkkamnae a sak teh Izip palang koehoi palang kalenpounge Euphrates totouh,
19 The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
Ken tami, Kene tami, Kadmon tami,
20 And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
Hit tami, Periz tami, Rephaim tami,
21 And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
Amor tami, Kanaan tami, Girgashite taminaw hoi Jebusit taminaw e ram, na ca catounnaw ka poe toe, telah atipouh.
