< 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, [and] thy exceeding great reward.
Modo izay le nañento an’ aro­ñaroñe amy Avrame ty tsara’ Iehovà: Ko hemban-drehe, Avrame. Izaho ro fikalan-defo’o naho tambe’o ra’elahy.
2 And Abram said, O Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Dammesek Eliezer?
Le hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, ino ty ho mea’o ahiko kanao betsiterake, vaho i Elièzere nte-Damaskose ro mpamandroñe ty akibako.
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
Le tinovo’ i Avrame ty hoe: Tsy nimea’o tiry iraho; aa le mpandovako i nitoly an-kibohokoy.
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
Le hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà ama’e: Tsy ie ty ho mpandova’o, fa ty hiboake am-bania’o ao ty ho mpandova’o.
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to tell them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
Nendese’e alafe ao le nanoa’e ty hoe: Miandrandrà mb’ andikerañ’ eñe vaho iaho o vasiañeo naho lefe’o iaheñe. Le hoe re tama’e, Mira amy zay ty ho tarira’o.
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Niantofa’e t’Iehovà, le vinolili’e ho havantañañe ama’e.
7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
Hoe ka Re tama’e: Izaho Iehovà ty nañakatse azo amy Ora’ o nte-Kasdìo hanolorako azo ty tane toa han­dram­besa’o aze.
8 And he said, O Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Fa hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, aia ty haharendrehako ty hatò t’ie ho fanañako?
9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
Aa le hoe re tama’e: Añendeso ty kiloa telo-ay, naho ty ose-vave telo-taoñe, vaho ty añondri­lahy telo-taoñe, naho ty deho vaho ty ana-boromahilala.
10 And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not.
Aa le nandesa’ i Avrame naho nisalàhe’e vaho nalaha’e hifañatreke i tampa’e rey fe tsy nisalahe’e o voroñeo.
11 And the birds of prey came down upon the carcases, and Abram drove them away.
Ie nivotrak’ amy henay o koàkeo le sinoi’ i Avrame añe.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Nitsofotse i àndroy, le nilampon-drotse t’i Avrame, vaho ingo nandrongoñe aze ty hamoromoroñañe nampangebahebake.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Le hoe Re amy Avrame, Mahafohina an-katò te ho ambahiny an-tane tsy a’ iareo o tarira’oo naho hitoroñe iareo vaho hampisotrieñe efa-jato taoñe.
14 and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Le ho zakàko i tane mañondevo iareoy vaho hinday vara tsifotofoto t’ie hiakatse boak’ ao.
15 But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
Fa homb’ aman-droae’o mb’eo am-pierañeràñan-drehe vaho haleveñe ami’ty taoñe soa haantetse.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.
Hitampoly atoy iereo ami’ty tariratse fah’ efatse, amy te mbe tsy heneke ty hakeo’ o nte-Emoreo.
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces.
Ie nimotake i àndroy vaho nimaìeñe, le niheo mb’eo ty valàñe nahatoeñe naho ty foroha nibela niranga añivo o linili’eo.
18 In that 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:
Amy andro zay ty nanoa’ Iehovà fañina amy Avrame ami’ty hoe, Atoloko amo tarira’oo ty tane hirik’amy saka’ i Mitsraimey pak’ amy oñe jabajabay, i oñe Eofratay;
19 the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
naho o nte-Keneo, o nte-Kenizeo, o nte-Kadmoneo,
20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
o nte-Kheteo, o nte-Perizeo, o nte-Rafào,
21 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
o nte-Emoreo, o nte-Kanàneo, o nte-Girgaseo, vaho o nte-Ieboseo.
