Genesis 15
1 After - the things these it came [the] word of Yahweh to Abram in the vision saying may not you fear O Abram I [am] a shield of you reward your [will be] great very.
這些事以後，有上主的話在神視中對亞巴郎說：「亞巴郎，你不要怕，我是你的盾牌；你得的報酬必很豐厚! 」
2 And he said Abram O Lord Yahweh what? will you give to me and I [am] going childless and [the] son of [the] acquisition of household my he [is] Damascus Eliezer.
亞巴郎說：「我主上主! 你能給我什麼﹖我一直沒有兒子；繼承我家業的是大馬士革人厄里則爾。」
3 And he said Abram here! to me not you have given offspring and there! [the] son of household my [is] inheriting me.
亞巴郎又說：「你既沒有賜給我後裔，那麼只有一個家僕來作我的承繼人。」
4 And there! [the] word of Yahweh [was] to him saying not he will inherit you this [one] that except [one] who he will come out from inward parts your he he will inherit you.
有上主的話答覆他說：「這人決不會是你的承繼人，而是你親生的要做你的承繼人。」
5 And he brought out him the outside towards and he said look please the heavens towards and count the stars if you are able to count them and he said to him thus it will be offspring your.
上主遂領他到外面說：「請你仰觀蒼天，數點星辰，你能夠數清嗎﹖」繼而對他說：「你的後裔也將這樣。」
6 And he believed in Yahweh and he credited it to him righteousness.
亞巴郎相信了上主，上主就以此算為他的正義。
7 And he said to him I [am] Yahweh who I brought out you from Ur of [the] Chaldeans to give to you the land this to take possession of it.
上主又對他說：「我是上主，我從加色丁人的烏爾領你出來，是為將這地賜給你作為產業。」
8 And he said O Lord Yahweh how? will I know that I will take possession of it.
亞巴郎說：「我主上主! 我如何知道我要佔有此地為產業﹖」
9 And he said to him bring! to me a heifer three years old and a goat three years old and a ram three years old and a turtle-dove and a young pigeon.
上主對他說：「你給我拿來一隻三歲的母牛，一隻三歲的母山羊，一隻三歲的公綿羊，一隻斑鳩和一隻雛鴿。」
10 And he brought to him all these and he cut in pieces them in the middle and he set each piece its to meet neighbor its and the bird[s] not he cut in two.
亞巴郎便把這一切拿了來，每樣從中剖開，將一半與另一半相對排列，只有飛鳥沒有剖開。
11 And it came down the bird[s] of prey on the carcasses and he drove away them Abram.
有鷙鳥落在獸屍上，亞巴郎就把牠們趕走。
12 And it was the sun [about] to go and a deep sleep it fell on Abram and there! dread darkness great [was] falling on him.
太陽快要西落時，亞巴郎昏沉地睡去，忽覺陰森萬分，遂害怕起來。
13 And he said to Abram certainly you will know that a sojourner - it will be offspring your in a land [which] not [belongs] to them and they will serve them and they will afflict them four hundred year[s].
上主對亞巴郎說：「你當知道，你的後裔必要寄居在異邦，受人奴役虐待四百年之久。
14 And also the nation which they will serve [will be] judging I and after thus they will come out with possession[s] great.
但是，我要親自懲罰他們所要服事的民族；如此你的後裔必要帶著豐富的財物由那裏出來。
15 And you you will go to ancestors your in peace you will be buried in old age good.
至於你，你要享受高壽，以後平安回到你列祖那裏，被人埋葬。
16 And [the] generation fourth they will return hither for not [is] complete [the] iniquity of the Amorite[s] until now.
到了第四代，他們必要回到這裏，因為阿摩黎人的罪惡至今尚未滿貫。」
17 And it was the sun it had gone and darkness it was and there! a fire pot of smoke and a torch of fire which it passed between the pieces these.
當日落天黑的時候，看，有冒煙的火爐和燃著的火炬，由那些肉塊間經過。
18 On the day that he made Yahweh with Abram a covenant saying to offspring your I give the land this from [the] river of Egypt to the river great [the] river of Euphrates.
在這一天，上主與亞巴郎立約說：「我要賜給你後裔的這土地，是從埃及河直到幼發拉的河，
19 The Kenite[s] and the Kenizzite[s] and the Kadmonite[s].
就是刻尼人、刻納次人、卡德摩尼人、
20 And the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Rephaites.
赫特人、培黎齊人、勒法因人、
21 And the Amorite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
阿摩黎人、客納罕人、基爾加士人和耶步斯人的土地。」
