Genesis 15
1 After all this had happened, God spoke to Abram in a vision, telling him, “Don't be afraid, Abram! I am your protector, and your truly great reward!”
Phat chomkhat jou nung hin; Pathen in gaovin Abram aki houlim pin hitin asei peh'e. “Abram imacha kicha hih in, ajeh chu keiman ka huhding; kipa man jong atam atam na chan ding ahi,” ati.
2 But Abram replied, “Lord God, what good is whatever you give me? I don't have any children, and the heir to all that I have is Eliezer of Damascus.”
Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai Pathen loupi pen nangma phatna na phatthei hohi keiman chapa kanei poi, ajeh chu nangman chate ding nei peh lou jeh in, ka insung a soh a pang Eliezer Damascus amapa bou hin ka gou alo ding joh in aum tai.
3 Abram went on to complain, “Look! You haven't given me any children, so a servant from my household has to be my heir!”
Pathen nang man keima chilhah ding a chikhai ding, neipe ta pon, hijeh a chu ka sohte lah a khat hin ka gou alo ding ahi tai.
4 But then the Lord told him, “This man won't be your heir. Your heir will be your very own son.”
Pathen in ama chu ahoulim pin, “Ahipoi nangma soh hon na gou alo thei lou ding ahi, nangma a kona chapa um ding ama chun na gou alo ding ahi.”
5 The Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up at the sky. See if you can count the stars! That's how many descendants you will have!”
Hichun Pathenin Abram chu polama akou doh in aki hou pin, “Vanchung lam ven Ahsi ho khu simtem in nasim jou nah em? Hitobang chu ahi na chilhah atam ding dan chu,” ati.
6 Abram trusted what the Lord said, and so the Lord counted Abram as being in a right relationship with him.
Chuin Abram in jong Pakaiya tahsan na dihtah in aneitan ahile hichu ama ding in dihchan nan akisimpeh tai.
7 The Lord also told him, “I am the Lord, who led you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land for you to own.”
Chujou vin Pathen in Abram ahoulimpi kit in, “Hiche gamhi nalo ding in na pe-ing'e tia Chaldea gam Ur khopia kona nangma na hin puidoh a Pakai chu keima kahi,” ati.
8 “But Lord God, how can I be certain that I will own it?” Abram asked.
Hichun Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai ka Pathen hiche hi kalo ding ahi ti ipia iti kahet doh thei ding ham?” ati.
9 The Lord told him, “Bring me a cow, a goat, and a ram, all of them three years old, together with a dove and a young pigeon.”
Hichun Pathen in Abram ahou lim pin ajah a, “Bongnou kum thum lhingsa khat toh, kelngoi chal kumthum lhingsa khat toh, chule vahui nou khat le vapal nou khat ka henga hin choi tan,” ati peh e.
10 So Abram took and killed the three animals. Then he cut them in half, and placed each half opposite the other. However, he didn't cut the birds in half.
Hichun Abram in hichengse chu ape doh in athat in, hichun ahapsat cheh in, ahap lang ton alupsah in hinlah vacha ho vang chu asemkeh poi.
11 When vultures flew down on the carcasses, Abram frightened them off.
Chuin muthongho ahung lenglhao vin hiche sa kikoi ho chu ane kigo uvin ahile Abram in muthongho chu anodoh jin ahi.
12 As the sun went down, a deep sleep came over Abram, and at the same time a dense and terrifying darkness fell on him.
Chuin nisa alhum dingkon in Abram ahung imut soh tan, chu jongle tijat umtah muthim lhangkhal ahung jing in amapa chu ahin jinkhum tai.
13 The Lord explained to Abram, “You can be absolutely sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be slaves and mistreated for 400 years.
Hichun Pathen in Abram ahoulimpi in, “Nangman thonlou dinga nahet ding chu na chilhah hohi gam danga hung mah thah diu ahiye, amaho se chu kum jali sunga mi bol genthei thoh'a ga um ding ahiuve.
14 However, I will punish the nation that makes them slaves, and later on they will leave, taking many valuable possessions with them.
Ahin keiman hiche nam sugenthei ho chu ka phulah ding ahi, chule phat ahung sot a achaina teng amaho chu hatah a nei le gou ahin nei diu ahi.
15 But as for you, you will die in peace and be buried, having lived a good long life.
Nangman vang lungmong sel'a na pute heng na jot ding, chule na kum lhing set'a na hinkho kichai a na kivui ding ahiye.
16 Four generations later your descendants will come back here to live, because right now the sins of the Amorites have not reached their full extent.”
Chule amaho hi khangli ahung lhin phat le hiche gam'a hi hung ki nungle kit diu ahi, ajeh chu tuchan gei hin Amor mite khan gitlouna hi pilhing lou lai ahiye,” ati.
17 After the sun set and it grew dark, suddenly a smoking furnace and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the animal carcasses.
Chuin nisa alhum phat in mu athim tan ahile, meikhu belsung khat ah mei al-lenglung khat le meivah tobang khat ahung kitol in, hiche pi chu sa kihapsat a kikoi teni kah achun ahung kitol lelen ahi.
18 This is how the Lord made an agreement with Abram that day and promised him, “I'm giving this land to your descendants. It extends from the Wadi of Egypt to the great Euphrates River,
Hichun Pathen in Abram chu hitin a kihoulimpi in, kinoptona aneilhon in hiche nichun, “Keiman nason na chilhahte kapeh gam chu hiche hi ahi, Egypt gamgi apat luipi dung gei Euphrate vadung gei,
19 and includes the territory of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
Gamsung tutua Kenites, Kenizzites chule Kadmonites ten atoupha se,
20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
Hittites mite Perizzites mite chule Rephaites miten atoupha se,
21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
Amorites mite ahi-uvin, Canaan mite ahiuvin, Girgash miho ahi uvin, chule Jebus miho gam ahi uve,” ati.
