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.”
Basa ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu Aon neu Abram nae, “Abram! Afiꞌ mumutau. Au usulaꞌe nggo mia musu ma. Ma Au fee nggo hahambuꞌ naeꞌ.”
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.”
Te Abram nae, “Eee, Lamatualain. Onaꞌ mae Lamatualain nae fee au naeꞌ o, nda ngguna saa saꞌ boe. Huu au nda ma anaꞌ fo fee au tititi-nonosiꞌ sa. Dadꞌi hambu hata-hetoꞌ nae-nae tao neu saa? Neꞌo akaꞌ au ate ngga, Eliasar mia Damsik, hambu basa se.”
3 And Abram says, “Behold, to me You have not given seed, and behold, a servant will be my heir.”
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”;
Te LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Te ho ana ma mana hambu hata-heto ma, nda ate a sa.”
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.”
Boe ma Ana no Abram dea neu, de nafadꞌe nae, “Mete lalai a dei. Mete sobꞌa nduuꞌ ra. Ho reken mala se, do? Tititi-nonosi mara dei fo ramaheta onaꞌ nduuꞌ ra boe!”
6 And he has believed in YHWH, and He reckons it to him—righteousness.
Abram rena nala ma, ana simbo LAMATUALAIN oꞌola na. De LAMATUALAIN uku nae, Abram rala ndos, huu namahere E.
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”;
LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ tute nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain. Au mana o nggo lao hela kambo Ur sia atahori Kasdim rae na. Au mana fee rae ia dadꞌi hata-heto ma.”
8 and he says, “Lord YHWH, whereby do I know that I possess it?”
Abram natane nae, “Dadꞌi taꞌo bee LAMATUALAIN? Taꞌo bee fo uhine ae rae ia dadꞌi au hata-heto ngga?”
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”;
Boe ma nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Uma fo ata tao dalaꞌ esa dadꞌi hehelu-fufuliꞌ neu Au oꞌola Ngga faꞌ ra. De muu haꞌi banda fee Au. Naeni, sapi ine sa, hiek ine sa, ma bibꞌi lombo mone sa. Basa se musi too beꞌe teluꞌ. Boe ma mendi seluꞌ mbui teu esa, no mbui lunda esa.”
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;
Boe ma Abram neu haꞌi basa banda naa ra. De ana sefa se reu beꞌe ruaꞌ. Ana mbedꞌaꞌ sisi naa ra banggi rua neu rae, esa mbali esa, dadꞌi dalaꞌ rua. Te ana nda sefa mbuiꞌ ra sa.
11 and the ravenous birds come down on the carcasses, and Abram causes them to turn back.
Dei de mbui-mbuiꞌ mana naa sisi mburuꞌ ra rema rae raa sisi naa ra. Te Abram oi hendi se.
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;
Relo a nae mopo ma, Abram sungguꞌ nasambeta ma nalamein nae, maꞌahatuꞌ a tatana nala e, losa namatau seli.
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,
Ma Lamatualain nafadꞌe e nae, “Abram! Dei fo musodꞌa losa mumulasi mala seli, ma mate mo nemehoꞌot, fo raꞌoi nggo no malolole. Te tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi atahori manatain sia atahori feaꞌ nusa na. Dei fo atahori sia nusaꞌ naa tao se dadꞌi ate, ma tuni-ndeni se losa too natun haa. Te Au huku-doki nusaꞌ naa atahori nara. Basa fo Au o tititi-nonosi mara lao hela naa, ma rendi basa hata-heto nara.
14 and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go out with great substance;
15 and you come to your fathers in peace; you are buried in a good old age;
16 and the fourth generation turns back here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”
Dei fo Au ulalao tititi-nonosi ka lima ma baliꞌ ia rema. Aleꞌ ia, atahori Amori ra leo sia rae ia. Atahori ia ra deꞌulakaꞌ, te nda feꞌe raseliꞌ sa. Mete ma umbu-ana mara baliꞌ ia rema, Au ae pake se fo hukun atahori Amori ra. Te leleꞌ naa, deꞌulaka nara raseliꞌ ena.”
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.
Tetemba na aiboiꞌ ma, hura rae sa namasu, ma mbele sa mbila, raꞌaundaꞌ tungga sisi dala karuaꞌ ra taladꞌa na.
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,
Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN helu-fuli no Abram nae, “Au helu fee nusaꞌ ia neu tititi-nonosi mara, mia loe Masir, losa loe Efrat,
19 with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
ma atahori Keni, Kenas, Kadmon,
20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
Het, Feris, Refaim,
21 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.”
Amori, Kanaꞌan, Girgasi, ma Yebus rae nara.”
