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.
Basa ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu Aon neu Abram nae, “Abram! Afiꞌ mumutau. Au usulaꞌe nggo mia musu ma. Ma Au fee nggo hahambuꞌ naeꞌ.”
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.
Te Abram nae, “Eee, Lamatualain. Onaꞌ mae Lamatualain nae fee au naeꞌ o, nda ngguna saa saꞌ boe. Huu au nda ma anaꞌ fo fee au tititi-nonosiꞌ sa. Dadꞌi hambu hata-hetoꞌ nae-nae tao neu saa? Neꞌo akaꞌ au ate ngga, Eliasar mia Damsik, hambu basa se.”
3 And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.
4 Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.
Te LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Te ho ana ma mana hambu hata-heto ma, nda ate a sa.”
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.
Boe ma Ana no Abram dea neu, de nafadꞌe nae, “Mete lalai a dei. Mete sobꞌa nduuꞌ ra. Ho reken mala se, do? Tititi-nonosi mara dei fo ramaheta onaꞌ nduuꞌ ra boe!”
6 And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
Abram rena nala ma, ana simbo LAMATUALAIN oꞌola na. De LAMATUALAIN uku nae, Abram rala ndos, huu namahere E.
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.
LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ tute nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain. Au mana o nggo lao hela kambo Ur sia atahori Kasdim rae na. Au mana fee rae ia dadꞌi hata-heto ma.”
8 And he said, O Lord God, how may I be certain that it will be mine?
Abram natane nae, “Dadꞌi taꞌo bee LAMATUALAIN? Taꞌo bee fo uhine ae rae ia dadꞌi au hata-heto ngga?”
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.
Boe ma nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Uma fo ata tao dalaꞌ esa dadꞌi hehelu-fufuliꞌ neu Au oꞌola Ngga faꞌ ra. De muu haꞌi banda fee Au. Naeni, sapi ine sa, hiek ine sa, ma bibꞌi lombo mone sa. Basa se musi too beꞌe teluꞌ. Boe ma mendi seluꞌ mbui teu esa, no mbui lunda esa.”
10 All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.
Boe ma Abram neu haꞌi basa banda naa ra. De ana sefa se reu beꞌe ruaꞌ. Ana mbedꞌaꞌ sisi naa ra banggi rua neu rae, esa mbali esa, dadꞌi dalaꞌ rua. Te ana nda sefa mbuiꞌ ra sa.
11 And evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.
Dei de mbui-mbuiꞌ mana naa sisi mburuꞌ ra rema rae raa sisi naa ra. Te Abram oi hendi se.
12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.
Relo a nae mopo ma, Abram sungguꞌ nasambeta ma nalamein nae, maꞌahatuꞌ a tatana nala e, losa namatau seli.
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;
Ma Lamatualain nafadꞌe e nae, “Abram! Dei fo musodꞌa losa mumulasi mala seli, ma mate mo nemehoꞌot, fo raꞌoi nggo no malolole. Te tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi atahori manatain sia atahori feaꞌ nusa na. Dei fo atahori sia nusaꞌ naa tao se dadꞌi ate, ma tuni-ndeni se losa too natun haa. Te Au huku-doki nusaꞌ naa atahori nara. Basa fo Au o tititi-nonosi mara lao hela naa, ma rendi basa hata-heto nara.
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.
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.
16 And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.
Dei fo Au ulalao tititi-nonosi ka lima ma baliꞌ ia rema. Aleꞌ ia, atahori Amori ra leo sia rae ia. Atahori ia ra deꞌulakaꞌ, te nda feꞌe raseliꞌ sa. Mete ma umbu-ana mara baliꞌ ia rema, Au ae pake se fo hukun atahori Amori ra. Te leleꞌ naa, deꞌulaka nara raseliꞌ ena.”
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.
Tetemba na aiboiꞌ ma, hura rae sa namasu, ma mbele sa mbila, raꞌaundaꞌ tungga sisi dala karuaꞌ ra taladꞌa na.
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:
Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN helu-fuli no Abram nae, “Au helu fee nusaꞌ ia neu tititi-nonosi mara, mia loe Masir, losa loe Efrat,
19 The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
ma atahori Keni, Kenas, Kadmon,
20 And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
Het, Feris, Refaim,
21 And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
Amori, Kanaꞌan, Girgasi, ma Yebus rae nara.”
