Genesis 15
1 And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield you, your reward shall be very great.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Abramu wá lójú ìran pé, “Abramu má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Èmi ni ààbò rẹ, Èmi sì ni èrè ńlá rẹ.”
2 And Abram said, Master [and] Lord, what will you give me? whereas I am departing without a child, but the son of Masek my home-born female slave, this Eliezer of Damascus [is mine heir.]
Ṣùgbọ́n Abramu wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, kí ni ìwọ yóò fi fún mi níwọ̀n ìgbà tí èmi kò bímọ, Elieseri ará Damasku ni yóò sì jogún mi,”
3 And Abram said, [I am grieved] since you have given me no seed, but my home-born [servant] shall succeed me.
Abramu sì tún tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Ìwọ kò fún mi ní ọmọ, nítorí náà ẹrú nínú ilé mi sì ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé mi.”
4 And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come out of you shall be your heir.
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tún tọ̀ ọ́ wá pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí kọ́ ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé rẹ bí kò ṣe ọmọ tí ìwọ bí fúnra rẹ̀ ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé rẹ.”
5 And he brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if you shall be able to number them fully, and he said, Thus shall your seed be.
Olúwa sì mú Abramu jáde sí ìta ó sì wí fún un pé, “Gbé ojú sókè sí ọ̀run kí o sì ka àwọn ìràwọ̀ bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ le è kà wọ́n.” Ó sì wí fun un pé, “Nítorí náà, báyìí ni irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò rí.”
6 And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
Abramu gba Olúwa gbọ́, a sì kà á sí òdodo fún un.
7 And he said to him, I am God that brought you out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land to inherit.
Ó sì tún wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa tí ó mú ọ jáde láti Uri ti Kaldea láti fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ yìí láti jogún.”
8 And he said, Master [and] Lord, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Ṣùgbọ́n Abramu wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, báwo ni mo ṣe lè mọ̀ pé ilẹ̀ náà yóò jẹ́ ohun ìní mi?”
9 And he said to him, Take for me an heifer in her third year, and a she-goat in her third year, and a ram in his third year, and a dove and a pigeon.
Nítorí náà, Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Mú abo màlúù, ewúrẹ́ àti àgbò ọlọ́dún mẹ́ta mẹ́ta wá, àti àdàbà kan àti ọmọ ẹyẹlé kan.”
10 So he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and set them opposite to each other, but the birds he did not divide.
Abramu sì mú gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí wá, ó sì là wọ́n sí méjì méjì, ó sì fi ẹ̀là èkínní kọjú sí èkejì, ṣùgbọ́n kò la àwọn ẹyẹ ní tiwọn.
11 And birds came down upon the bodies, [even] upon the divided parts of them, and Abram sat down by them.
Àwọn ẹyẹ igún sì ń wá sórí òkú ẹran náà, Abramu sì ń lé wọn.
12 And about sunset a trance fell upon Abram, and behold! a great gloomy terror falls upon him.
Bí oòrùn ti ń wọ̀, Abramu sùn lọ fọnfọn, òkùnkùn biribiri tí ó kún fún ẹ̀rù sì bò ó.
13 And it was said to Abram, You shall surely know that your seed shall be a sojourner in a land not their won, and they shall enslave them, and afflict them, and humble them four hundred years.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Abramu pé, “Mọ èyí dájú pé, irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì, wọn ó sì sọ wọn di ẹrú, wọn ó sì pọ́n wọn lójú fún irinwó ọdún.
14 And the nation whoever they shall serve I will judge; and after this, they shall come forth hither with much property.
Ṣùgbọ́n orílẹ̀-èdè náà tí wọn yóò máa sìn, ni èmi ó dá lẹ́jọ́, lẹ́yìn náà ni wọn ó sì jáde pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ púpọ̀.
15 But you shall depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò tọ àwọn baba rẹ lọ ni àlàáfíà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì di arúgbó kí a tó gbé ọ sin.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall return hither, for the sins of the Amorites are not yet filled up, even until now.
Ní ìran kẹrin àwọn ìran rẹ yóò padà wá sí ibi. Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ará Amori kò ì tí ì kún òsùwọ̀n.”
17 And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and behold a smoking furnace and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces.
Nígbà tí oòrùn wọ̀ tí ilẹ̀ sì ṣú, ìkòkò iná tí ń ṣèéfín àti ọwọ́ iná sì ń kọjá láàrín ẹ̀là ẹran náà.
18 In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni Olúwa dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú Abramu, ó sì wí pé, “Àwọn ìran rẹ ni èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún, láti odò Ejibiti dé odò ńlá Eufurate:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenezites, and the Kedmoneans,
ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Keni, àti ti ará Kenissiti, àti ará Kadmoni,
20 and the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Raphaim,
àti ti ará Hiti, àti ti ará Peresi, àti ti ará Refaimu.
21 and the Amorites, and the Chananites, and the Evites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
Àti ti ará Amori, àti ti ará Kenaani, àti ti ará Girgaṣi àti ti ará Jebusi.”
