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, [and] thy 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, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my 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 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
Abram je rekel: »Glej, nobenega potomca mi nisi dal in glej, nekdo, rojen v moji hiši, je moj dedič.«
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD [came] unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
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 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed 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 he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Veroval je v Gospoda in on mu je to štel za pravičnost.
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.
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, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Rekel je: »Gospod Bog, po čem bom spoznal, da jo bom podedoval?«
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.
Rekel mu je: »Vzemi mi triletno telico, triletno kozo, triletnega ovna, grlico in mladega goloba.«
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.
Ta je k sebi vzel vse to in jih na sredini razpolovil in vsak kos položil nasproti drugemu, toda ptic ni razpolovil.
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
Ko je na trupla prišla perjad, jo je Abram odganjal.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
In ko je sonce zahajalo, je na Abrama padlo globoko spanje in glej, nanj je padla groza velike teme.
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;
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 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: 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 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
Ti pa boš v miru odšel k svojim očetom; pokopan boš v dobri visoki starosti.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full.
Toda v četrtem rodu bodo ponovno prišli sèm, kajti krivičnost Amoréjcev še ni dopolnjena.«
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.
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 the same 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:
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 Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Kenéjce, Kenázovce, Kadmonéjce,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Hetejce, Perizéjce, Rafájevce,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Amoréjce, Kánaance, Girgašéjce in Jebusejce.«
