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.
Kana booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo mulʼataan gara Abraam dhufee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Abraam hin sodaatin; ani gaachana keetii fi gatii kee guddicha.”
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?
Abraam garuu, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, waan ani ijoollee hin qabneef namni qabeenya koo dhaaluuf jiru Eliiʼezer namicha Damaasqoo kana; egaa ati maal naa kennita?” jedhe.
3 Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.
Abraam, “Kunoo ati ijoollee tokko illee naa hin kennine; hojjetaan mana koo jiraatu tokko kunoo na dhaaluuf jira” jedhe.
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.
Kunoo dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara isaa dhufee, “Ilma gudeeda keetiitu dhaaltuu kee taʼa malee namichi kun dhaaltuu kee hin taʼu” jedhe.
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.
Innis Abraamin gad baasee, “Samiiwwan ol ilaaliitii yoo urjiiwwan lakkaaʼuu dandeesse lakkaaʼi” jedhe. Itti fufees, “Sanyiin kees akkanuma baayʼata” jedheen.
6 And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.
Abraam Waaqayyotti amane; innis qajeelummaatti lakkaaʼeef.
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.
Innis, “Ani Waaqayyo isa akka ati ishee dhaaltuuf biyya kana siif kennuuf jedhee Uuri biyya Kaldootaa keessaa si baasee dha” jedheen.
8 And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?
Abraam garuu, “Yaa Waaqayyoo Gooftaa, ani biyya kana dhaaluu koo akkamittin beeka?” jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo, “Goromsa tokko, reʼee tokkoo fi korbeessa hoolaa tokko kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii waggaa sadii sadii guutan, akkasumas gugee tokkoo fi gugee sookkee tokko naa fidi” jedheen.
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.
Abraamis warra kana hunda gara isaatti fidee, qixxee lamaanitti kukkute; warra qixxee lamaanitti kukkutamanis gamaa gamana kaaʼe; simbirroota garuu qixxee lamaanitti hin kukkunne.
11 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
Ergasii allaattiin foon sanatti gad buute; Abraam garuu irraa ariʼe.
12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
Utuma aduun dhiʼaa jirtuu hirribni guddaan Abraamin qabe; kunoo dukkanni guddaanii fi sodaachisaan isa irra buʼe.
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.
Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Akka sanyiin kee biyya kan isaa hin taʼin keessatti alagaa taʼee waggaa dhibba afuris achitti garboomfamee cunqurfamu dhugumaan beeki.
14 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Ani garuu saba isaan akkuma garbootaatti tajaajilan sana nan adaba; ergasii immoo isaan qabeenya guddaa fudhatanii achii baʼu.
15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
Ati garuu nagaan gara abbootii keetii dhaqxa; bara dheeraas jiraattee awwaalamta.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.
Sanyiin kee dhaloota afuraffaatti as deebiʼa; cubbuun Amoorotaa amma iyyuu hin guunneetii.”
17 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
Yommuu aduun lixxee dukkanaaʼettis kunoo barbadaan ibiddaa aaru guca tokko wajjin mulʼatee foon kukkutame sana gidduu darbe.
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.
Gaafa sanas Waaqayyo akkana jedhee Abraam wajjin kakuu gale; “Ani biyya laga Gibxii jalqabee hamma laga Efraaxiis guddichaatti jiru kana sanyii keetiif nan kenna;
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,
kunis biyya Qeenotaa, Qeneezotaa, Qadmoonotaas,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
kan Heetotaa, Feerzotaa, Refaayimootaa,
21 The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
Amoorotaa, Kanaʼaanotaa Girgaashotaatii fi kan Yebuusotaa jechuu dha.”
