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.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Ebram site nʼọhụ, sị ya, “Atụla egwu, Ebram Abụ m ọta gị, ụgwọ ọrụ dị ukwu nke i nwere.”
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?
Ma Ebram zara sị ya, “Gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, gịnị bụ ihe ị ga-enye m ebe ọ bụ na m amụtaghị nwa? Lee, ọ bụ Elieza, onye Damaskọs, ga-eketa akụ m niile.”
3 Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.
Ebram gara nʼihu kwuo sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na m amụtaghị ụmụ, ọ bụ ohu nọ nʼụlọ m ga-eketa akụ m.”
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.
Ma okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere ya, “Nwoke a agaghị eketa ihe i nwere, kama nwa nwoke nke ga-esi nʼahụ gị pụta ga-eketa ihe i nwere.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kpọpụtara Ebram nʼezi sị ya, “Lelie anya gị elu na mbara eluigwe, gụọ kpakpando niile ị hụrụ ọnụ, ma ị ga-enwe ike ịgụta ha.” Ọ gwara ya sị, “Otu a ka mkpụrụ gị ga-adị. A gaghị agụta ha ọnụ.”
6 And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.
Ebram kweere nʼihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Nʼihi nke a, a gụnyere ya okwukwe a dịka ezi omume.
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.
Onyenwe anyị gwakwara ya sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye si nʼala Ụọ nke ndị Kaldịa kpọpụta gị, inye gị ala a ka ọ bụrụ ihe nweta gị.”
8 And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?
Ma Ebram zara sị, “Biko, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị olee otu m ga-esi mara na m ga-enweta ya?”
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.
Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Wetara m nwa nne ehi gbara afọ atọ, na nne ewu gbara afọ atọ, na ebule gbara afọ atọ, na nduru, na nwa kpalakwukwu.”
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.
Ebram wetaara ya ihe ndị a niile bọwaa ha ụzọ abụọ, doo ha nʼusoro ka otu akụkụ chee akụkụ nke ọzọ ihu. Ma ọ bọwaghị ụmụ nnụnụ ndị ahụ.
11 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
Mgbe anụ ufe fekwasịrị ozu anụ ndị ahụ, Ebram chụpụrụ ha.
12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
Mgbe anwụ bidoro ịda, Ebram dara nʼoke ụra, oke ụjọ na oke ọchịchịrị dakwasịrị ya.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Mata nke ọma na ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-anọ dịka ndị ọbịa nʼala na-abụghị nke ha. A ga-edo ha ọnọdụ dịka ndị ohu, mejọọ ha narị afọ anọ.
14 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Ma aga m ata mba ahụ ha na-efe dịka ohu ahụhụ. Nʼikpeazụ, ha ga-eji ọtụtụ akụ si nʼebe ahụ pụta.
15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
Ma ị ga-anwụ nʼudo. A ga-eli gị mgbe ị kara ezi nka.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.
Mgbe ọgbọ anọ gasịrị, ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-alọtakwa nʼala a. Nʼihi na mmehie ndị Amọrait erubeghị nʼuju ya.”
17 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
Mgbe anwụ dara, mgbe ọchịchịrị gbachiri ebe niile, ite ọkụ na-akwụ anwụrụ ọkụ nke nwere ọwa na-enwu ọkụ si nʼetiti ibe anụ ndị ahụ gafee.
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị na Ebram gbara ndụ. Ọ sị, “Ndị agbụrụ gị ka m ga-enye ala ndị a, malite nʼiyi ndị Ijipt ruo nʼiyi ukwu Yufretis.
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,
Ala ndị Ken, na nke ndị Keniz, na nke ndị Kadmọn,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
na ala ndị Het, na nke ndị Periz na nke ndị Refaim,
21 The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
na ala ndị Amọrait na nke ndị Kenan na nke ndị Gigash na nke ndị Jebus.”
