< Genesis 15 >

1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.
Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Abram iti maysa a sirmata, a kunana, “Saanka nga agbuteng, Abram! “Siak ti salaknibmo ken ti naidaklan unay a gunggonam.”
2 And Abram said, LORD God, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
Kinuna ni Abram, “Apo a Yahweh, anianto ti ipaaymo kaniak, ta kastoy met latta, awananak iti anak, ken ti agtawid iti balayko ket ni Elieser a taga-Damasco?”
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
Kinuna ni Abram, “Agsipud ta awan intedmo kaniak a kaputotan, kitaem, ti katalek iti balayko ket isu ti agtawid.”
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.
Ket, pagammoan, immay kenkuana ti sao ni Yahweh, a kunana, “Saan a daytoy a lalaki ti agtawid iti sanikuam; ngem ketdi ti agtaudto a mismo iti bagim ti agtawidto.”
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if you be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall your seed be.
Kalpasanna, impanna isuna iti ruar ket kinunana, “Tumangadka iti langit, ket bilangem dagiti bituen, no kabaelam ida a bilangen.” Ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kastanto met ngarud dagiti kaputotam.”
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Namati isuna kenni Yahweh, ken imbilangna kenkuana daytoy a kinalinteg.
7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.
Kinunana kenkuana, “Siak ni Yahweh a nangiruar kenka idiay Ur dagiti Caldeo, tapno itedko kenka daytoy a daga a tawidem.”
8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Kinunana “Apo a Yahweh, kasanonto a maammoak a tawidekto daytoy?”
9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
Ket kinunana kenkuana, “Mangidatagka kaniak iti tallo ti tawenna a baka a saan pay a nagmaya, tallo ti tawenna a kabaian a kalding, tallo ti tawenna a kalakian a karnero, kalapati ken sibong a pagaw.”
10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
Impanna amin kenkuana dagitoy, ket ginuduana dagitoy. Ket inkabilna ti tunggal kagudua iti batug ti kapisina, ngem saanna a ginudua dagiti billit.
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
Idi bimmaba dagiti billit a mangan kadagiti natay nga ayup, inabog ni Abram dagitoy.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Ket idi lumlumneken ti init, nakaturog iti nasimbeng ni Abram ket pagammoan, nasallukoban isuna iti nakaam-amak ken nakabutbuteng a sipnget.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know certainly that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Abram, “Ammoem koma a gangannaetto dagiti kaputotam iti saanda a daga, ket matagabudanto ken maparigatdanto iti las-ud iti uppat a gasut a tawen.
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Ukomekto dayta a nasion a pagserbianda, ket rummuardanto kalpasan nga addaan iti nawadwad a sanikua.
15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
Ngem mapankanto kadagiti amam a sitatalna, ket lakaykanto unayen inton maitanemka.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come here again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Iti maikapat a henerasion ket umaydanto manen ditoy. Ta saan pay a nadanon ti pagpatinggaan ti kinadagsen iti basol dagiti Amorreo.”
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
Idi limneken ti init ket nasipngeten, adda maysa nga agas-asuk a banga ken sumsumged nga aluten a limmasat iti nagbabaetan dagiti pidaso ti ayup.
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
Iti dayta nga aldaw, nakitulag ni Yahweh kenni Abram, kunana, “Kadagiti kaputotamto, itedko daytoy a daga, manipud iti karayan ti Egipto inggana iti dakkel a karayan, ti Eufrates—
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
dagiti Kineo, dagiti Kenizeo, dagiti Kadmoneo,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
dagiti Heteo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Refaim,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Girgaseo ken dagiti Jebuseo.”
