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.
यी सबै कुराहरू भएपछि दर्शनमा अब्रामकहाँ यसो भन्ने परमप्रभुको वचन आयो, “अब्राम, नडराऊ । म नै तेरो ढाल तेरो धेरै महान् इनाम हुँ ।”
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.
अब्रामले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले मलाई के दिनुहुन्छ र?, किनभने म सनतानविहीन रहिरहेको छु र मेरो गरको उत्तराधिकार दमस्कसको एलीएजर हुनेछ ।”
3 And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.
अब्रामले भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, तपाईंले मलाई कुनै पनि सन्तान नदिनुभएको हुनाले मेरो घरको भण्डारे नै मेरो उत्तराधिकार हुन्छ ।”
4 Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.
हेर्नुहोस्, त्यसपछि यसो भन्ने परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो, “यो मानिस तेरो उत्तराधिकार हुनेछैन; तर तेरै शरीरबाट जन्मिने नै तेरो उत्तराधिकारी हुनेछ ।”
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.
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 And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
तिनले परमप्रभुमा विश्वास गरे र उहाँले यसलाई तिनको धार्मिकताको रूपमा गन्नुभयो ।”
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.
उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “म परमप्रभु हुँ, जसले यो भूमि तँलाई दिन कल्दीहरूका ऊरबाट निकालेर ल्यायो ।”
8 And he said, O Lord God, how may I be certain that it will be mine?
तिनले उहाँलाई भने, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, मैले यो प्राप्त गर्नेछु भनी मैले कसरी थाहा पाउने नि?”
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.
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 All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.
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 evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.
शिकारी चराहरू सिनोहरूमाथि झम्टिँदा अब्रामले तिनीहरूलाई धपाए ।
12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.
घाम डुब्न लाग्दा अब्राम अब्राम मस्न निद्रामा परे र हेर, तिनलाई गाढा र डरलाग्दो अन्धकारले छोप्यो ।
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;
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 be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.
तिनीहरूले सेवा गरेको देशको मैले न्यान गर्नेछु र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू प्रशस्त धन-सम्पत्तिहरूसहित निस्केर आउनेछन् ।
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.
तर तँचाहिँ तेरा पिता-पूर्खाहरूकहाँ शान्तिमा जानेछस् र तँलाई वृद्धवस्थामा दफन गरिनेछ ।
16 And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.
तिनीहरू चौथो पुस्तामा फेरि यहाँ आउनेछन्, किनकि एमोरीहरूको अधर्मको सिमा अझै पुगेको छैन ।”
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.
सूर्य अस्ताउँदा र साँझ पर्दा, हेर, धूवाँ आइरहेको मकल र बलिरहेको आगोको ज्वाला ती फ्याकहरूका बिच भएर गयो ।
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:
त्यसै दिन परमप्रभुले यसो भनेर अब्रामसँग करार बाँध्नुभयो, “म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई यसैद्वारा यो भूमि दिन्छु, जुन मिश्रादेखि महानदी अर्थात् युफ्रेटिससम्म छ-
19 The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
केनीहरू, कनज्जीहरू, कदोनीहरू,
20 And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
हित्तीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, रपाईहरू,
21 And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
एमोरीहरू, कनानीहरू, गिर्गाशीहरू र यबूसीहरूलाई दिन्छु ।
