Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield; your reward will be very great."
Pēc šīm lietām Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Ābramu iekš parādīšanās sacīdams: Nebīsties, Ābram; Es tev esmu par priekšturamām bruņām, un tava alga ir ļoti liela.
2 Abram said, "Lord, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"
Tad Ābrams sacīja: Kungs, Dievs, ko Tu man dosi? Es aizeju bez bērniem un mana nama mantinieks ir šis Eliēzers no Damaskus.
3 Then Abram said, "Look, to me you have given no offspring, and look, one born in my house is my heir."
Un Ābrams sacīja: redzi, man Tu neesi dzimumu devis, un redzi, manas saimes bērns būs mans mantinieks.
4 And look, the word of God came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."
Un redzi, Tā Kunga vārds notika uz viņu sacīdams: šis nebūs tavs mantinieks, bet kas no tavām miesām nāks, tas būs tavs mantas ņēmējs.
5 And he brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And he said to him, "So will your descendants be."
Un Viņš to izveda ārā un sacīja: skaties uz debesīm un skaiti zvaigznes; vai tu tās vari izskaitīt? Un Viņš tam sacīja: tāpat būs tavs dzimums.
6 And he believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
Un Ābrams ticēja uz To Kungu, un Viņš tam to pielīdzināja par taisnību.
7 And he said to him, "I am God, who brought you out of Ur Kasdim to give you this land to possess."
Un Viņš tam sacīja: Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas tevi izvedis no Ur iekš Kaldejas, ka tev dotu šo zemi iemantot.
8 But he said, "Lord, how can I know that I will possess it?"
Un tas sacīja: Kungs, Dievs, pie kam nopratīšu, ka es to iemantošu?
9 And he said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
Un Viņš tam sacīja: dabū Man treju gadu gotiņu un treju gadu kazu un treju gadu aunu un vienu ūbeli un vienu jaunu balodi.
10 He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and placed each half opposite the other; but he did not divide the birds.
Un tas Viņam dabūja visus tos un dalīja tos vidū uz pusēm un lika ikkatra daļu vienu pret otru, bet tos putnus viņš nedalīja.
11 And the birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
Un vanagi krita uz tām, un Ābrams tos nodzina.
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And look, a terror of great darkness fell on him.
Un kad saule nogāja, tad Ābramam ciets miegs uznāca, un redzi, izbailes un liela tumsība tam uzkrita.
13 And he said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs; and they will be enslaved there. And they will oppress them four hundred years.
Un Viņš sacīja uz Ābramu: zini zinādams, ka tavs dzimums piemitīs kādā zemē, kas tam nepieder, un tur viņus kalpinās un tiem grūti darīs četrsimt gadus.
14 But I will also judge that nation whom they will serve. And afterward they will come out with many possessions.
Bet to tautu, kam tie kalpos, Es arī sodīšu, un pēc tam tie izies ar lielu mantu.
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.
Un tu aiziesi pie saviem tēviem mierā un tapsi aprakts labā vecumā.
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."
Un ceturtā mūža augums nāks atkal šai vietā, jo Amoriešu netaisnība līdz šim vēl nav pilna.
17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, look, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
Un notikās, kad saule nogāja un tumsa metās, tad redzi, dūmains ceplis un uguns liesma, kas cauri šāvās tiem upura gabaliem.
18 On that day God made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Perath:
Tanī dienā Tas Kungs cēla derību ar Ābramu, sacīdams: tavam dzimumam Es esmu devis šo zemi, no Ēģiptes upes līdz lielai Eifrat upei;
19 the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
Keniešus un Ķenaziešus un Kadmoniešus,
20 the Hethites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
Hetiešus un Fereziešus un Refaīmiešus,
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
Un Amoriešus un Kanaāniešus, Ģirgoziešus un Jebusiešus.
