Genesis 15
1 And so, these things having been transacted, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your protector, and your reward is exceedingly great.”
Pēc šīm lietām Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Ābramu iekš parādīšanās sacīdams: Nebīsties, Ābram; Es tev esmu par priekšturamām bruņām, un tava alga ir ļoti liela.
2 And Abram said: “Lord God, what will you give to me? I may go without children. And the son of the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.”
Tad Ābrams sacīja: Kungs, Dievs, ko Tu man dosi? Es aizeju bez bērniem un mana nama mantinieks ir šis Eliēzers no Damaskus.
3 And Abram added: “Yet to me you have not given offspring. And behold, my servant born in my house will be my heir.”
Un Ābrams sacīja: redzi, man Tu neesi dzimumu devis, un redzi, manas saimes bērns būs mans mantinieks.
4 And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: “This one will not be your heir. But he who will come from your loins, the same will you have for your heir.”
Un redzi, Tā Kunga vārds notika uz viņu sacīdams: šis nebūs tavs mantinieks, bet kas no tavām miesām nāks, tas būs tavs mantas ņēmējs.
5 And he brought him outside, and he said to him, “Take in the heavens, and number the stars, if you can.” And he said to him, “So also will your offspring be.”
Un Viņš to izveda ārā un sacīja: skaties uz debesīm un skaiti zvaigznes; vai tu tās vari izskaitīt? Un Viņš tam sacīja: tāpat būs tavs dzimums.
6 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
Un Ābrams ticēja uz To Kungu, un Viņš tam to pielīdzināja par taisnību.
7 And he said to him, “I am the Lord who led you away from Ur of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land, and so that you would possess it.”
Un Viņš tam sacīja: Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas tevi izvedis no Ur iekš Kaldejas, ka tev dotu šo zemi iemantot.
8 But he said, “Lord God, in what way may I be able to know that I will possess it?”
Un tas sacīja: Kungs, Dievs, pie kam nopratīšu, ka es to iemantošu?
9 And the Lord responded by saying: “Take for me a cow of three years, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years, also a turtle-dove and a pigeon.”
Un Viņš tam sacīja: dabū Man treju gadu gotiņu un treju gadu kazu un treju gadu aunu un vienu ūbeli un vienu jaunu balodi.
10 Taking all these, he divided them through the middle, and placed both parts opposite one another. But the birds he did not divide.
Un tas Viņam dabūja visus tos un dalīja tos vidū uz pusēm un lika ikkatra daļu vienu pret otru, bet tos putnus viņš nedalīja.
11 And birds descended upon the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
Un vanagi krita uz tām, un Ābrams tos nodzina.
12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a dread, great and dark, invaded him.
Un kad saule nogāja, tad Ābramam ciets miegs uznāca, un redzi, izbailes un liela tumsība tam uzkrita.
13 And it was said to him: “Know beforehand that your future offspring will be sojourners in a land not their own, and they will subjugate them in servitude and afflict them for four hundred years.
Un Viņš sacīja uz Ābramu: zini zinādams, ka tavs dzimums piemitīs kādā zemē, kas tam nepieder, un tur viņus kalpinās un tiem grūti darīs četrsimt gadus.
14 Yet truly, I will judge the nation that they will serve, and after this they will depart with great substance.
Bet to tautu, kam tie kalpos, Es arī sodīšu, un pēc tam tie izies ar lielu mantu.
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age.
Un tu aiziesi pie saviem tēviem mierā un tapsi aprakts labā vecumā.
16 But in the fourth generation, they will return here. For the iniquities of the Amorites are not yet completed, even to this present time.”
Un ceturtā mūža augums nāks atkal šai vietā, jo Amoriešu netaisnība līdz šim vēl nav pilna.
17 Then, when the sun had set, there came a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.
Un notikās, kad saule nogāja un tumsa metās, tad redzi, dūmains ceplis un uguns liesma, kas cauri šāvās tiem upura gabaliem.
18 On that day, God formed a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your offspring I will give this land, from the river of Egypt, even to the great river Euphrates:
Tanī dienā Tas Kungs cēla derību ar Ābramu, sacīdams: tavam dzimumam Es esmu devis šo zemi, no Ēģiptes upes līdz lielai Eifrat upei;
19 the land of the Kenites and the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites
Keniešus un Ķenaziešus un Kadmoniešus,
20 and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, likewise the Rephaim,
Hetiešus un Fereziešus un Refaīmiešus,
21 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
Un Amoriešus un Kanaāniešus, Ģirgoziešus un Jebusiešus.
