Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of YHWH has been to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I [am] a shield to you, your reward [is] exceedingly great.”
Bangʼ ma, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Abram e fweny ni, “Abram, kik iluor. An e okumbani, kendo pokni maduongʼ moloyo.”
2 And Abram says, “Lord YHWH, what do You give to me, and I am going childless? And an acquired son in my house is Demmesek Eliezer.”
To Abram nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, en angʼo ma dimiya to pod asiko ka aonge nyathi kendo jacham mwanduna en mana Eliezer ja-Damaski?”
3 And Abram says, “Behold, to me You have not given seed, and behold, a servant will be my heir.”
Kendo Abram nowacho niya, “Pod ok imiya nyithindo; omiyo achiel kuom wasumbini maga ema nobed jacham girkeni maga.”
4 And behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, saying, “This [one] will not be your heir; but he who comes out from your bowels, he will be your heir”;
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni ok nobed jacham girkeni magi, to wuowi ma owuok e ringri iwuon ema nobed jacham girkeni magi.”
5 and He brings him out outside and says, “Now look attentively toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them”; and He says to him, “Thus is your seed.”
Nogole oko mowachone niya, “Rang polo malo kendo kwan sulwe ka dipo ni inyalo kwanogi.” Eka nowachone niya, “Omiyo mano e kaka nyikwayi nobedi.”
6 And he has believed in YHWH, and He reckons it to him—righteousness.
Abram noyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye, mi Jehova Nyasaye nokwane kaka ngʼama kare.
7 And He says to him, “I [am] YHWH who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to you this land to possess it”;
Kendo nowachone niya, “An e Jehova Nyasaye manogoloi Ur piny jo-Kaldea mondo amiyigo obed girkeni mari.”
8 and he says, “Lord YHWH, whereby do I know that I possess it?”
To Abram nopenje niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ere kaka anyalo ngʼeyo ni obiro bedo girkeni mara?”
9 And He says to him, “Take for Me a heifer of three years, and a female goat of three years, and a ram of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a young bird”;
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nonyise niya, “Kelna roya bwongʼ, diel kod im mahikgi adek, adek kaachiel gi akuch odugla kod nyathi akuru.”
10 and he takes all these to Him, and separates them in the midst, and puts each piece opposite its fellow, but the bird he has not divided;
Abram nokelone magi duto, nongʼadogi diriyo moro ka moro kendo okelo nusegi moro ka moro omanyore gi wadgi, to kata kamano, winy ne ok ongʼado.
11 and the ravenous birds come down on the carcasses, and Abram causes them to turn back.
Eka achudhe nopiyo e ringʼogo, to Abram noriembogi.
12 And the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep has fallen on Abram, and behold, a terror of great darkness is falling on him;
Kane chiengʼ podho, Abram nogore e nindo matut kendo mudho mandiwa noime.
13 and He says to Abram, “knowing—know that your seed is a sojourner in a land not theirs, and they have served them, and they have afflicted them four hundred years,
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ngʼe malongʼo ni nyikwayi nobed jodak e piny moro ma ok margi, kendo nolokgi wasumbini mi nosandgi malit kuom higni mia angʼwen.
14 and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go out with great substance;
To anakum piny ma noketgi wasumbini, bangʼe giniwuogi gia gi mwandu mogundho.
15 and you come to your fathers in peace; you are buried in a good old age;
To kata kamano, inidag amingʼa mi itho gi kwe kiluwo kwereni.
16 and the fourth generation turns back here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”
E tiengʼ mar angʼwen nyikwayi nodwogi ka, nikech e ndalogo ema noyud ka richo jo-Amor osemedore moromo kum.”
17 And it comes to pass—the sun has gone in, and thick darkness has been and behold, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of fire, which has passed over between those pieces.
Kane chiengʼ osepodho kendo piny oyuso, tago mar mach madum iro kod chuk mach maliel nothinyore mi okadho e kind lemo mag gik manoyangʼ ka.
18 In that day has YHWH made with Abram a covenant, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, from the River of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River,
Odiechiengno Jehova Nyasaye notimo singruok gi Abram mowachone niya, “To ne nyikwayi, amiyogi pinyni, koa e aora mar Misri nyaka aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate.
19 with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
Bende amiyogi pinje kaka piny jo-Keni, jo-Kenizi, jo-Kadmon,
20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Refai,
21 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.”
jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Girgash, kod jo-Jebus.”
