Genesis 15
1 Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great.
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 God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.
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 added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my 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 immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir.
BAWIPA e lawk Abram koe ka tho e teh, hete tami kaawm e ni nange râw coe mahoeh telah atipouh.
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars, if thou canst. 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 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
Abram ni BAWIPA a yuem dawkvah, ahnie a yuemnae hah a lannae lah a khoe pouh.
7 And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land, and that thou mightest 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 But he said: Lord God, whereby may 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 the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a 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 two pieces of each one against the other; but the birds he divided not.
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 fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Hote moinaw koevah langtanaw a tho navah Abram ni a pâlei.
12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.
Hatei kanî a khup toteh, Abram teh mat a i. Hahoi khenhaw! puenghoi hmonae ni a tho sin teh roumkalue.
13 And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and 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 I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.
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, and be buried in a good old age.
Nang teh mintoenaw koe karoumcalah na cei vaiteh matawng lahoi na pakawp awh han.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time.
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 when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.
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 That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt even to the great river Euphrates.
Hote hnin dawk BAWIPA ni Abram hoi lawkkamnae a sak teh Izip palang koehoi palang kalenpounge Euphrates totouh,
19 The Cineans and Cenezites, the Cedmonites,

20 And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also,

21 And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
Amor tami, Kanaan tami, Girgashite taminaw hoi Jebusit taminaw e ram, na ca catounnaw ka poe toe, telah atipouh.
