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.
Bangʼ ma, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Abram e fweny ni, “Abram, kik iluor. An e okumbani, kendo pokni maduongʼ moloyo.”
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.
To Abram nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, en angʼo ma dimiya to pod asiko ka aonge nyathi kendo jacham mwanduna en mana Eliezer ja-Damaski?”
3 And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my heir.
Kendo Abram nowacho niya, “Pod ok imiya nyithindo; omiyo achiel kuom wasumbini maga ema nobed jacham girkeni maga.”
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.
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni ok nobed jacham girkeni magi, to wuowi ma owuok e ringri iwuon ema nobed jacham girkeni magi.”
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.
Nogole oko mowachone niya, “Rang polo malo kendo kwan sulwe ka dipo ni inyalo kwanogi.” Eka nowachone niya, “Omiyo mano e kaka nyikwayi nobedi.”
6 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
Abram noyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye, mi Jehova Nyasaye nokwane kaka ngʼama kare.
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.
Kendo nowachone niya, “An e Jehova Nyasaye manogoloi Ur piny jo-Kaldea mondo amiyigo obed girkeni mari.”
8 But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it?
To Abram nopenje niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ere kaka anyalo ngʼeyo ni obiro bedo girkeni mara?”
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.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nonyise niya, “Kelna roya bwongʼ, diel kod im mahikgi adek, adek kaachiel gi akuch odugla kod nyathi akuru.”
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.
Abram nokelone magi duto, nongʼadogi diriyo moro ka moro kendo okelo nusegi moro ka moro omanyore gi wadgi, to kata kamano, winy ne ok ongʼado.
11 And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Eka achudhe nopiyo e ringʼogo, to Abram noriembogi.
12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.
Kane chiengʼ podho, Abram nogore e nindo matut kendo mudho mandiwa noime.
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.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ngʼe malongʼo ni nyikwayi nobed jodak e piny moro ma ok margi, kendo nolokgi wasumbini mi nosandgi malit kuom higni mia angʼwen.
14 But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.
To anakum piny ma noketgi wasumbini, bangʼe giniwuogi gia gi mwandu mogundho.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age.
To kata kamano, inidag amingʼa mi itho gi kwe kiluwo kwereni.
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.
E tiengʼ mar angʼwen nyikwayi nodwogi ka, nikech e ndalogo ema noyud ka richo jo-Amor osemedore moromo kum.”
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.
Kane chiengʼ osepodho kendo piny oyuso, tago mar mach madum iro kod chuk mach maliel nothinyore mi okadho e kind lemo mag gik manoyangʼ ka.
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.
Odiechiengno Jehova Nyasaye notimo singruok gi Abram mowachone niya, “To ne nyikwayi, amiyogi pinyni, koa e aora mar Misri nyaka aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate.
19 The Cineans and Cenezites, the Cedmonites,
Bende amiyogi pinje kaka piny jo-Keni, jo-Kenizi, jo-Kadmon,
20 And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also,
jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Refai,
21 And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Girgash, kod jo-Jebus.”
