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.
Po teh stvareh je Gospodova beseda prišla Abramu v videnju, rekoč: »Ne boj se, Abram. Jaz sem tvoj ščit in tvoja silno velika nagrada.«
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?
Abram je rekel: »Gospod Bog, kaj mi hočeš dati, glede na to, da odhajam brez otrok in je oskrbnik moje hiše Eliézer iz Damaska?«
3 Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.
Abram je rekel: »Glej, nobenega potomca mi nisi dal in glej, nekdo, rojen v moji hiši, je moj dedič.«
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.
Glej, Gospodova beseda je prišla k njemu, rekoč: »Ta ne bo tvoj dedič, temveč tisti, ki bo izšel iz tvoje lastne notranjosti, bo tvoj dedič.«
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.
Privedel ga je daleč naprej ter rekel: »Poglej zdaj proti nebu in štej zvezde, če jih lahko prešteješ.« Rekel mu je: »Tako bo tvoje seme.«
6 And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.
Veroval je v Gospoda in on mu je to štel za pravičnost.
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.
Rekel mu je: »Jaz sem Gospod, ki te je privedel iz Ura Kaldejcev, da ti dam to deželo, da jo podeduješ.«
8 And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?
Rekel je: »Gospod Bog, po čem bom spoznal, da jo bom podedoval?«
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.
Rekel mu je: »Vzemi mi triletno telico, triletno kozo, triletnega ovna, grlico in mladega goloba.«
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.
Ta je k sebi vzel vse to in jih na sredini razpolovil in vsak kos položil nasproti drugemu, toda ptic ni razpolovil.
11 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
Ko je na trupla prišla perjad, jo je Abram odganjal.
12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
In ko je sonce zahajalo, je na Abrama padlo globoko spanje in glej, nanj je padla groza velike teme.
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.
Abramu je rekel: »Zagotovo vedi, da bo tvoje potomstvo tuje v deželi, ki ni njihova in jim bo služilo, oni pa jih bodo mučili štiristo let
14 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
in prav tako bom sodil ta narod, ki mu bodo služili. Potem pa bodo izšli z velikim imetjem.
15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
Ti pa boš v miru odšel k svojim očetom; pokopan boš v dobri visoki starosti.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.
Toda v četrtem rodu bodo ponovno prišli sèm, kajti krivičnost Amoréjcev še ni dopolnjena.«
17 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
Pripetilo se je, da ko je sonce zašlo in je bila tema, glej kadečo talilno peč in gorečo svetilko, ki sta šli med temi kosi.
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.
Na isti dan je Gospod z Abramom sklenil zavezo, rekoč: »Tvojemu semenu sem dal to deželo, od egiptovske reke do vélike reke, reke Evfrata:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,
Kenéjce, Kenázovce, Kadmonéjce,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Hetejce, Perizéjce, Rafájevce,
21 The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
Amoréjce, Kánaance, Girgašéjce in Jebusejce.«
