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.”
Modo izay le nañento an’ aroñaroñe amy Avrame ty tsara’ Iehovà: Ko hemban-drehe, Avrame. Izaho ro fikalan-defo’o naho tambe’o ra’elahy.
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.”
Le hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, ino ty ho mea’o ahiko kanao betsiterake, vaho i Elièzere nte-Damaskose ro mpamandroñe ty akibako.
3 And Abram added: “Yet to me you have not given offspring. And behold, my servant born in my house will be my heir.”
Le tinovo’ i Avrame ty hoe: Tsy nimea’o tiry iraho; aa le mpandovako i nitoly an-kibohokoy.
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.”
Le hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà ama’e: Tsy ie ty ho mpandova’o, fa ty hiboake am-bania’o ao ty ho mpandova’o.
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.”
Nendese’e alafe ao le nanoa’e ty hoe: Miandrandrà mb’ andikerañ’ eñe vaho iaho o vasiañeo naho lefe’o iaheñe. Le hoe re tama’e, Mira amy zay ty ho tarira’o.
6 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
Niantofa’e t’Iehovà, le vinolili’e ho havantañañe ama’e.
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.”
Hoe ka Re tama’e: Izaho Iehovà ty nañakatse azo amy Ora’ o nte-Kasdìo hanolorako azo ty tane toa handrambesa’o aze.
8 But he said, “Lord God, in what way may I be able to know that I will possess it?”
Fa hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, aia ty haharendrehako ty hatò t’ie ho fanañako?
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.”
Aa le hoe re tama’e: Añendeso ty kiloa telo-ay, naho ty ose-vave telo-taoñe, vaho ty añondrilahy telo-taoñe, naho ty deho vaho ty ana-boromahilala.
10 Taking all these, he divided them through the middle, and placed both parts opposite one another. But the birds he did not divide.
Aa le nandesa’ i Avrame naho nisalàhe’e vaho nalaha’e hifañatreke i tampa’e rey fe tsy nisalahe’e o voroñeo.
11 And birds descended upon the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
Ie nivotrak’ amy henay o koàkeo le sinoi’ i Avrame añe.
12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a dread, great and dark, invaded him.
Nitsofotse i àndroy, le nilampon-drotse t’i Avrame, vaho ingo nandrongoñe aze ty hamoromoroñañe nampangebahebake.
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.
Le hoe Re amy Avrame, Mahafohina an-katò te ho ambahiny an-tane tsy a’ iareo o tarira’oo naho hitoroñe iareo vaho hampisotrieñe efa-jato taoñe.
14 Yet truly, I will judge the nation that they will serve, and after this they will depart with great substance.
Le ho zakàko i tane mañondevo iareoy vaho hinday vara tsifotofoto t’ie hiakatse boak’ ao.
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age.
Fa homb’ aman-droae’o mb’eo am-pierañeràñan-drehe vaho haleveñe ami’ty taoñe soa haantetse.
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.”
Hitampoly atoy iereo ami’ty tariratse fah’ efatse, amy te mbe tsy heneke ty hakeo’ o nte-Emoreo.
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.
Ie nimotake i àndroy vaho nimaìeñe, le niheo mb’eo ty valàñe nahatoeñe naho ty foroha nibela niranga añivo o linili’eo.
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:
Amy andro zay ty nanoa’ Iehovà fañina amy Avrame ami’ty hoe, Atoloko amo tarira’oo ty tane hirik’amy saka’ i Mitsraimey pak’ amy oñe jabajabay, i oñe Eofratay;
19 the land of the Kenites and the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites
naho o nte-Keneo, o nte-Kenizeo, o nte-Kadmoneo,
20 and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, likewise the Rephaim,
o nte-Kheteo, o nte-Perizeo, o nte-Rafào,
21 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
o nte-Emoreo, o nte-Kanàneo, o nte-Girgaseo, vaho o nte-Ieboseo.
