Genesis 15
1 After these things, the worde of the Lord came vnto Abram in a vision, saying, Feare not, Abram, I am thy buckler, and thine exceeding great reward.
To pacoengah hnuksakhaih hoiah Angraeng ih lok Abram khaeah phak; Abram zii hmah; kai loe nang abuephaih, kalen parai nang ih tangqum ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
2 And Abram said, O Lord God, what wilt thou giue me, seeing I goe childlesse, and the steward of mine house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
Toe Abram mah, Angraeng Sithaw, timaw nang paek han? Kai loe caa tawn ai ah kho ka sak; Damaska ih Eliezer mah ni kai ih qawk to toep tih boeh, tiah a naa.
3 Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.
Abram mah, Khenah, kai han caa nang paek ai; to pongah ka imthung ah tapen kami mah ni kai ih qawk to toep tih boeh, tiah a naa.
4 Then beholde, the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heire, but one that shall come out of thine owne bowels, he shalbe thine heire.
To naah Angraeng ih lok anih khaeah angzoh; Na tamna mah nang ih qawk to toep mak ai; toe na takpum thung hoi tacawt na capa tangtang mah ni nang ih qawk to toep tih, tiah a naa.
5 Moreouer he brought him forth and said, Looke vp nowe vnto heauen, and tell ye starres, if thou be able to number them: and he said vnto him, So shall thy seede be.
Abram to tasa bangah caeh haih moe, anih khaeah, Van bang doeng tahang ah, cakaehnawk na kroek thaih nahaeloe, kroek ah; na caanawk loe to tiah om o tih, tiah a naa.
6 And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.
Abram mah Angraeng to tang pongah, a tanghaih to toenghaih ah tapom pae.
7 Againe he saide vnto him, I am the Lord, that brought thee out of Vr of the Caldees, to giue thee this land to inherite it.
Anih khaeah, Kai loe hae prae hae qawk ah paek hanah, Khaldia prae Ur vangpui hoiah nang zaehoikung, Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
8 And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?
Toe Abram mah, Angraeng Sithaw, hae prae hae qawk ah ka toep han, tito kawbang maw ka panoek thai tih? tiah a naa.
9 Then he said vnto him, Take me an heifer of three yeeres olde, and a shee goate of three yeeres olde, and a ramme of three yeeres olde, a turtle doue also and a pigeon.
To pongah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Saning thumto kaom maitaw tae maeto, saning thumto kaom maeh amno maeto, saning thumto kaom tuu tae maeto, pahuu maeto hoi im pahuu maeto na sin ah, tiah a naa.
10 So he tooke all these vnto him, and deuided them into the middes, and laid euery piece one against an other: but the birdes deuided he not.
Abram mah to hmuennawk to sinh boih; hnetto ah a bawk moe, kalah kalah ah suek boih; toe tavaanawk loe hnetto ah bawk ai.
11 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
Moicaa tavaanawk loe kadueh qok moinawk nuiah azawk o tathuk, to naah Abram mah tavaanawk to huih boih.
12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
Niduem naah loe iih kangmue mah kae pongah Abraham loe iih; to naah zit kaom kalen parai khoving mah anih to khuk hmoek.
13 Then he saide to Abram, Knowe for a suretie, that thy seede shalbe a stranger in a land, that is not theirs, foure hundreth yeeres, and shall serue them: and they shall intreate them euill.
To naah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Na caanawk loe minawk prae ah angvin ah om o tih; to kaminawk ih tamna ah om o ueloe, nihcae mah saning cumvai palito thung pacaekthlaek o tih, tito panoek ah;
14 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
toe nangcae tamna ah patoh acaeng to lok ka caek han; to pacoengah ni nihcae to paroeai pop hmuenmaenawk hoiah tacawt o vop tih.
15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
Nang loe lunghoih ta hoi nam panawk khaeah na caeh ueloe, mitong naah na phum o tih.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.
Na caanawk loe dung palito phak naah, hae ahmuen ah angzo o let tih; Amor kaminawk sakpazaehaih koep ai vop, tiah a naa.
17 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
Aduem bang khoving ah loe, akhue tacawt hmai kangqong, pa-aang ih hmai-im to tacawt moe, kalah kalah ah tapraek ih moi salakah caeh.
18 In that same day the Lord made a couenant with Abram, saying, Vnto thy seede haue I giuen this lande, from the riuer of Egypt vnto the great riuer, the riuer Euphrates.
To na niah Angraeng mah Abram hoi lokmaihaih to sak moe, Izip prae vapui thung hoiah kalen parai vapui, Euphrates vapui;
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,
Ken, Ken-zi, Kadmon,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Hit, Periz, Rephaim,
21 The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
Amor, Kanaan, Girgash hoi Jebus kaminawk ih prae loe na caanawk khaeah ka paek boeh, tiah a naa.
