Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield; your reward will be very great."
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 Abram said, "Lord, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my estate is 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 Then Abram said, "Look, to me you have given no offspring, and look, one born in my house is my heir."
Abram je rekel: »Glej, nobenega potomca mi nisi dal in glej, nekdo, rojen v moji hiši, je moj dedič.«
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."
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 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."
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 God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
Veroval je v Gospoda in on mu je to štel za pravičnost.
7 And he said to him, "I am God, who brought you out of Ur Kasdim to give you this land to possess."
Rekel mu je: »Jaz sem Gospod, ki te je privedel iz Ura Kaldejcev, da ti dam to deželo, da jo podeduješ.«
8 But he said, "Lord, how can I know that I will possess it?"
Rekel je: »Gospod Bog, po čem bom spoznal, da jo bom podedoval?«
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."
Rekel mu je: »Vzemi mi triletno telico, triletno kozo, triletnega ovna, grlico in mladega goloba.«
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.
Ta je k sebi vzel vse to in jih na sredini razpolovil in vsak kos položil nasproti drugemu, toda ptic ni razpolovil.
11 And the birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
Ko je na trupla prišla perjad, jo je Abram odganjal.
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And look, a terror of great darkness fell on him.
In ko je sonce zahajalo, je na Abrama padlo globoko spanje in glej, nanj je padla groza velike teme.
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.
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 But I will also judge that nation whom they will serve. And afterward they will come out with many possessions.
in prav tako bom sodil ta narod, ki mu bodo služili. Potem pa bodo izšli z velikim imetjem.
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.
Ti pa boš v miru odšel k svojim očetom; pokopan boš v dobri visoki starosti.
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."
Toda v četrtem rodu bodo ponovno prišli sèm, kajti krivičnost Amoréjcev še ni dopolnjena.«
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.
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 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:
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, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
Kenéjce, Kenázovce, Kadmonéjce,
20 the Hethites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
Hetejce, Perizéjce, Rafájevce,
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
Amoréjce, Kánaance, Girgašéjce in Jebusejce.«
