Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram; I am thy shield, thy exceeding great reward.
Hathnukkhu, Abram koe BAWIPA e lawk vision lahoi ka tho e teh, Abram, taket hanh kai teh nange bahling lah ka o, na tawkphu hmu hane a len poung telah atipouh.
2 And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.
Hatei Abram ni, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, ca tawn laipalah ka o e na hmu nahlangva, bangmaw na poe han. Im e râw kacoekung teh Damaskas tami Eliezer doeh telah atipouh.
3 And Abram said, Lo, to me thou hast given no seed, and behold, a son of my house will be mine heir.
Hahoi Abram ni khenhaw! kai ca na poe hoeh. Ka im kaawm e ni doeh râw a coe toe telah bout atipouh.
4 And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir, but he that will come forth out of thy body shall be thine heir.
BAWIPA e lawk Abram koe ka tho e teh, hete tami kaawm e ni nange râw coe mahoeh telah atipouh.
5 And he led him out, and said, Look now toward the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be!
Hahoi Abram hah alawilah a hrawi teh, kalvan lah khenhaw! âsi na touk thai pawiteh touk haw, hot patetlah na catoun ka pungdaw sak han.
6 And he believed Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him [as] righteousness.
Abram ni BAWIPA a yuem dawkvah, ahnie a yuemnae hah a lannae lah a khoe pouh.
7 And he said to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to possess it.
Hahoi kai ni hete ram poe hane hoi coe sak hane ka ngai dawk doeh Khaldean taminaw a onae Ur kho hoi nang kahrawikung kai teh BAWIPA doeh telah atipouh.
8 And he said, Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall possess it?
Hatei ahni ni Bawipa Jehovah, hete bangtelah hoi maw ka coe han tie ka panue han telah atipouh.
9 And he said to him, Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.
BAWIPA ni Abram koe a dei pouh e teh, kum thum touh e maito, kum thum touh e hmaela, kum thum touh e tutan buet touh âbakhuca hoi bakhuca buet touh thokhai loe atipouh.
10 And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the half of each opposite its fellow; but the birds he did not divide.
Hote hnonaw pueng ahni koe a thokhai pouh teh a lungui hoi a sei teh avoivang lah a hruek. Hatei tava teh sei hoeh.
11 And the birds of prey came down on the carcases; and Abram scared them away.
Hote moinaw koevah langtanaw a tho navah Abram ni a pâlei.
12 And as the sun was just going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, a horror, a great darkness, fell upon him.
Hatei kanî a khup toteh, Abram teh mat a i. Hahoi khenhaw! puenghoi hmonae ni a tho sin teh roumkalue.
13 And he said to Abram, Know assuredly that thy seed will be a sojourner in a land [that is] not theirs, and they shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.
Hathnukkhu BAWIPA ni Abram koe, na ca catounnaw ni ayânaw e ram dawk imyin lah ao awh vaiteh, kum 400 touh thung rektapnae hoi san lah ao awh han tie kamcengcalah panuek.
14 But also that nation which they shall serve I will judge; and afterwards they shall come out with great property.
Hatei ahnimanaw san lah ka hno e taminaw kai ni lawk ka ceng han. Hathnukkhu hnopai moikapap hoi a tâco awh han.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
Nang teh mintoenaw koe karoumcalah na cei vaiteh matawng lahoi na pakawp awh han.
16 And [in the] fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Hateiteh a se palinae dawk hete ram dawk bout a ban awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh Amornaw ni thoesaknae kuep sak lah awm hoeh rah, telah atipouh.
17 And it came to pass when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, that behold, there was a smoking furnace, and a flame of fire which passed between those pieces.
Kanî a khup teh kho bout a hmo torei teh hmaikhu tâconae hlaam hoi hmai paangnae hmaiim teh moi tâtueng e rahak yuengyoe a kâhlai.
18 On the same day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates;
Hote hnin dawk BAWIPA ni Abram hoi lawkkamnae a sak teh Izip palang koehoi palang kalenpounge Euphrates totouh,
19 the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Ken tami, Kene tami, Kadmon tami,
20 and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
Hit tami, Periz tami, Rephaim tami,
21 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Amor tami, Kanaan tami, Girgashite taminaw hoi Jebusit taminaw e ram, na ca catounnaw ka poe toe, telah atipouh.
