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.
Nogen Tid efter kom HERRENS Ord til Abram i et Syn saaledes: »Frygt ikke, Abram, jeg er dit Skjold; din Løn skal blive saare stor!«
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.
Men Abram svarede: »Herre, HERRE, hvad kan du give mig, naar jeg dog gaar barnløs bort, og en Mand fra Damaskus, Eliezer, skal arve mit Hus.«
3 And he said Abram here! to me not you have given offspring and there! [the] son of household my [is] inheriting me.
Og Abram sagde: »Du har jo intet Afkom givet mig, og se, min Hustræl kommer til at arve mig!«
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.
Og se, HERRENS Ord kom til ham saaledes: »Han kommer ikke til at arve dig, men den, der udgaar af dit Liv, han skal arve dig.«
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.
Derpaa førte han ham ud i det fri og sagde: »Se op mod Himmelen og prøv, om du kan tælle Stjernerne!« Og han sagde til ham: »Saaledes skal dit Afkom blive!«
6 And he believed in Yahweh and he credited it to him righteousness.
Da troede Abram HERREN, og han regnede ham det til Retfærdighed.
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.
Derpaa sagde han til ham: »Jeg er HERREN, som førte dig bort fra Ur-Kasdim for at give dig dette Land i Eje!«
8 And he said O Lord Yahweh how? will I know that I will take possession of it.
Men han svarede: »Herre, HERRE, hvorpaa kan jeg kende, at jeg skal faa det i Eje?«
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.
Da sagde han til ham: »Tag mig en treaars Kvie, en treaars Ged og en treaars Væder, en Turteldue og en Smaafugl!«
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.
Saa tog han alle disse Dyr skar dem midt over og lagde Halvdelene over for hinanden; dog skar han ikke Fuglene over.
11 And it came down the bird[s] of prey on the carcasses and he drove away them Abram.
Da slog der Rovfugle ned paa de døde Kroppe, men Abram skræmmede dem bort.
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.
Da Solen saa var ved at gaa ned, faldt der Dvale over Abram, og se, Rædsel faldt over ham, et stort Mørke.
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].
Og han sagde til Abram: »Vide skal du, at dit Afkom skal bo som fremmede i et Land, der ikke er deres eget; de skal trælle for dem og mishandles af dem i 400 Aar.
14 And also the nation which they will serve [will be] judging I and after thus they will come out with possession[s] great.
Dog vil jeg ogsaa dømme det Folk, de kommer til at trælle for, og siden skal de vandre ud med meget Gods.
15 And you you will go to ancestors your in peace you will be buried in old age good.
Men du skal fare til dine Fædre i Fred og blive jordet i en god Alderdom.
16 And [the] generation fourth they will return hither for not [is] complete [the] iniquity of the Amorite[s] until now.
I fjerde Slægtled skal de vende tilbage hertil; thi endnu er Amoriternes Syndeskyld ikke fuldmoden.«
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.
Da Solen var gaaet ned og Mørket faldet paa, viste der sig en rygende Ovn med en flammende Ildslue, der skred frem mellem de sønderskaarne Kroppe.
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.
Paa den Dag sluttede HERREN Pagt med Abram, idet han sagde: »Dit Afkom giver jeg dette Land fra Ægyptens Bæk til den store Flod, Eufratfloden,
19 The Kenite[s] and the Kenizzite[s] and the Kadmonite[s].
det er Keniterne, Kenizziterne, Kadmoniterne,
20 And the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Rephaites.
Hetiterne, Perizziterne, Refaiterne,
21 And the Amorite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
Amoriterne, Kana'anæerne, Girgasjiterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne.«
