< 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 exceedingly great.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Abramu wá lójú ìran pé, “Abramu má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Èmi ni ààbò rẹ, Èmi sì ni èrè ńlá rẹ.”
2 And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?
Ṣùgbọ́n Abramu wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, kí ni ìwọ yóò fi fún mi níwọ̀n ìgbà tí èmi kò bímọ, Elieseri ará Damasku ni yóò sì jogún mi,”
3 And Abram said, Behold to me thou hast given no seed; and lo, one born in my house will be my heir.
Abramu sì tún tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Ìwọ kò fún mi ní ọmọ, nítorí náà ẹrú nínú ilé mi sì ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé mi.”
4 And behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This one shall not be thy heir; but he that shall come forth out of thy own bowels shall be thy heir.
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tún tọ̀ ọ́ wá pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí kọ́ ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé rẹ bí kò ṣe ọmọ tí ìwọ bí fúnra rẹ̀ ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé rẹ.”
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward the heaven, and count the stars, if thou be able to count them; and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
Olúwa sì mú Abramu jáde sí ìta ó sì wí fún un pé, “Gbé ojú sókè sí ọ̀run kí o sì ka àwọn ìràwọ̀ bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ le è kà wọ́n.” Ó sì wí fun un pé, “Nítorí náà, báyìí ni irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò rí.”
6 And he believed in the Lord; and he accounted it to him for righteousness.
Abramu gba Olúwa gbọ́, a sì kà á sí òdodo fún un.
7 And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give unto thee this land, to inherit it.
Ó sì tún wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa tí ó mú ọ jáde láti Uri ti Kaldea láti fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ yìí láti jogún.”
8 And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Ṣùgbọ́n Abramu wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, báwo ni mo ṣe lè mọ̀ pé ilẹ̀ náà yóò jẹ́ ohun ìní mi?”
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.
Nítorí náà, Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Mú abo màlúù, ewúrẹ́ àti àgbò ọlọ́dún mẹ́ta mẹ́ta wá, àti àdàbà kan àti ọmọ ẹyẹlé kan.”
10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one opposite the other; but the birds he did not divide.
Abramu sì mú gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí wá, ó sì là wọ́n sí méjì méjì, ó sì fi ẹ̀là èkínní kọjú sí èkejì, ṣùgbọ́n kò la àwọn ẹyẹ ní tiwọn.
11 And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses; but Abram drove them away.
Àwọn ẹyẹ igún sì ń wá sórí òkú ẹran náà, Abramu sì ń lé wọn.
12 And when the sun was about going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, a horror, dark and great, fell upon him.
Bí oòrùn ti ń wọ̀, Abramu sùn lọ fọnfọn, òkùnkùn biribiri tí ó kún fún ẹ̀rù sì bò ó.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land which is not theirs, and they will make them serve, and they will afflict them four hundred years.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Abramu pé, “Mọ èyí dájú pé, irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì, wọn ó sì sọ wọn di ẹrú, wọn ó sì pọ́n wọn lójú fún irinwó ọdún.
14 And also that nation whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterward shall they go out with great substance.
Ṣùgbọ́n orílẹ̀-èdè náà tí wọn yóò máa sìn, ni èmi ó dá lẹ́jọ́, lẹ́yìn náà ni wọn ó sì jáde pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ púpọ̀.
15 But thou shalt come to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò tọ àwọn baba rẹ lọ ni àlàáfíà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì di arúgbó kí a tó gbé ọ sin.
16 Yet the fourth generation shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Emorites will not be full until then.
Ní ìran kẹrin àwọn ìran rẹ yóò padà wá sí ibi. Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ará Amori kò ì tí ì kún òsùwọ̀n.”
17 And it came to pass, when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, that behold a smoking furnace, and a burning flame, which passed between those pieces.
Nígbà tí oòrùn wọ̀ tí ilẹ̀ sì ṣú, ìkòkò iná tí ń ṣèéfín àti ọwọ́ iná sì ń kọjá láàrín ẹ̀là ẹran náà.
18 On 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;
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni Olúwa dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú Abramu, ó sì wí pé, “Àwọn ìran rẹ ni èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún, láti odò Ejibiti dé odò ńlá Eufurate:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Keni, àti ti ará Kenissiti, àti ará Kadmoni,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
àti ti ará Hiti, àti ti ará Peresi, àti ti ará Refaimu.
21 And the Emorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Àti ti ará Amori, àti ti ará Kenaani, àti ti ará Girgaṣi àti ti ará Jebusi.”
