Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying: 'Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield, thy reward shall be exceeding great.'
MAHOPE mai oia mau mea, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Aberama ma ka hihio, i mai la, Mai makau oe, e Aberama, owau no kou palekaua a me kau uku nui loa.
2 And Abram said: 'O Lord GOD, what wilt Thou give me, seeing I go hence childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?'
I aku la o Aberama, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, heaha kau mea e haawi mai ai ia'u, no ka mea, ke hele keiki ole nei au, a o ka puuku o kuu hale, oia o Eliezera no Damaseko.
3 And Abram said: 'Behold, to me Thou hast given no seed, and, lo, one born in my house is to be mine heir.'
I aku la o Aberama, Aia hoi, aole oe i haawi mai i keiki na'u; a o kekahi i hanau iloko o ko'u hale, oia kuu hooilina.
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying: 'This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.'
Aia hoi, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai, Aole keia o kou hooilina; aka, o ka mea e hele mai ana mailoko mai ou iho, o kou hooilina ia.
5 And He brought him forth abroad, and said: 'Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if thou be able to count them'; and He said unto him: 'So shall thy seed be.'
Kai aku la oia ia ia mawaho, i mai la, E nana aku oe iluna i ka lani, e helu i na hoku, ina e hiki ia oe ke helu: i mai la kela ia ia, Pela auanei kau poe mamo.
6 And he believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness.
Manaoio aku la oia ia Iehova, a hooili mai la oia ia mea i pono nona.
7 And He said unto him: 'I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.'
I mai la kela ia ia, Owau no Iehova nana oe i lawe mai nei, mai Ura o ko Kaledea mai, e haawi aku nou i keia aina i wahi e noho ai.
8 And he said: 'O Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?'
I aku la ia, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, pehea la au e ike ai, e ili mai ana keia aina no'u?
9 And He said unto him: 'Take Me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.'
I mai la kela ia ia, E lalau oe na'u i bipiwahine akolu makahiki ona, i kaowahine akolu makahiki ona, i hipakane akolu ona makahiki, i manu kuhukuku, a me ka nunu opiopio.
10 And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other; but the birds divided he not.
Lawe mai la oia ia mau mea a pau io na la, a mahele ae la ia lakou mawaena, a waiho iho la i kela apana i keia apana e ku pono aku i kona hoa: aka, aole ia i mahele i na manu.
11 And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
A lele mai la na manu maluna iho o na mohai, hoopuehu aku la o Aberama ia lakou.
12 And it came to pass, that, when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a dread, even a great darkness, fell upon him.
A i ka napoo ana o ka la, ua pauhia o Aberama i ka hiamoe nui; aia hoi, kau mai la ka, weliweli a me ka pouli nui maluna iho ona.
13 And He said unto Abram: 'Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Olelo mai la ia ia Aberama, E ike pono oe, e lilo ana kau poe mamo i malihini ma ka aina e aole no lakou, a e hookauwa aku na lakou; a e hoinoia mai lakou e kela poe i na haneri makahiki eha.
14 and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
A o ua lahuikanaka la nana lakou e hooluhi mai, na'u lakou e hoohewa aku: a mahope iho, e puka mai lakou iwaho me ka waiwai nui.
15 But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
E huiia'ku oe i ou mau makua me ka malu; a e kanuia oe i ka wa elemakule maikai.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come back hither; for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.'
Aka, e hoi hou mai no lakou ia nei i ka ha o ka hanauna: no ka mea, aole i lawa ka hewa o ka Amori i nei manawa.
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and there was thick darkness, behold a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces.
A napoo iho la ka la, a poeleele iho la, aia hoi, nee ae la ka umuahi e punohu ana a me ke kukui e a ana mawaena o ua mau apana la.
18 In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates;
Ia la no, hoopaa iho la oia i berita me Aberama, i ka i ana mai, Ua haawi aku no wau i keia aina no kau poe mamo, mai ka muliwai o Aigupita a hiki aku i ka muliwai nui, ka muliwai o Euperate:
19 the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
I ka Kena, i ka Keniza, i ka Kademona,
20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
I ka Heta, i ka Periza, me ka Repaima,
21 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.'
I ka Amora, i ka Kanaana, i ka Giregasa, a me ka Iebusa.
