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.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame ʻi he meʻa hā mai ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ʻEpalame: ko ho ungaʻanga au, mo ho totongi lahi ʻaupito.”
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.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻEpalame, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e hā te ke foaki kiate au, he ʻoku ou masiva fānau, pea ko e tauhi ʻo hoku ʻapi, ko e ʻEliesa ni ʻo Tamasikusi?”
3 And he said Abram here! to me not you have given offspring and there! [the] son of household my [is] inheriting me.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalame, “Vakai, naʻe ʻikai te ke foaki kiate au ha hako; pea vakai, ko e taha naʻe fānau ʻi hoku fale, ko hoku hoko ia.”
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.
Pea ʻiloange, naʻe folofola mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ho hoko ia: ka ko ia ʻe tupu mei ho fatu ʻoʻou ko ho hoko ia.”
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.
Pea ne taki atu ia kituaʻā, ʻo ne pehē, “Hanga hake ni ki he langi, ʻo lau ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻo kapau te ke faʻa lau ia; pea ne pehē kiate ia, E tatau mo ia ho hako.”
6 And he believed in Yahweh and he credited it to him righteousness.
Pea naʻe tui ia kia Sihova; pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia, ko e māʻoniʻoni.
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.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko au ko Sihova, naʻaku ʻomi koe mei Ua, ʻi Kalitia, ke foaki kiate koe ʻae fonua ni, ke ke maʻu moʻou.”
8 And he said O Lord Yahweh how? will I know that I will take possession of it.
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te u ʻilo ʻi he ha te u maʻu ia?
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.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Toʻo mai maʻaku ʻae pulu fefine mui ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e kosi fefine ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e sipitangata ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e kulukulu mo e lupe mui.”
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.
Pea ne toʻo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ʻo ne fahiua ʻakinautolu, ʻo tuku fakaholo ʻae ngaahi konga kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fahiʻi ʻae fanga manupuna.
11 And it came down the bird[s] of prey on the carcasses and he drove away them Abram.
Pea ʻi he lolofa mai ʻae fanga manupuna ki he ngaahi ʻangaʻanga, naʻe fakahēhē ia ʻe ʻEpalame.
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.
Pea ʻi he kamata tō ʻae laʻā, naʻe hoko ʻae mohe maʻu kia ʻEpalame: pea vakai naʻe tō kiate ia ʻae fuʻu manavahē ʻoe fakapoʻuli lahi.
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].
Pea naʻe pehē kia ʻEpalame, “Ke ke ʻilo pau eni, ʻe nofo ʻāunofo ho hako ʻi ha fonua ʻoku ʻikai ʻonautolu, pea te nau tauhi ʻakinautolu; pea te nau fakamamahi ʻakinautolu ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau.
14 And also the nation which they will serve [will be] judging I and after thus they will come out with possession[s] great.
Pea ko e puleʻanga ko ia te nau ngāue ki ai, te u fakamaauʻi foki: pea hili ia te nau haʻu mei ai mo e koloa lahi.
15 And you you will go to ancestors your in peace you will be buried in old age good.
Pea te ke ʻalu koe ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻi he fiemālie: ʻe pekia koe ʻoka ke ka motuʻa lelei.
16 And [the] generation fourth they will return hither for not [is] complete [the] iniquity of the Amorite[s] until now.
Pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata te nau toe haʻu ki heni; he ʻoku teʻeki ai fonu ʻae angahala ʻae kakai ʻAmoli.”
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.
Pea ʻi he tō ʻae laʻā pea poʻuli, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae afi kakaha kuo kohu, mo e maama ulo naʻe ʻalu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi konga [manu].
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.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava mo ʻEpalame, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u tuku ki ho hako ʻae fonua ni, mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe lahi, ʻaia ko e ʻIufaletesi.
19 The Kenite[s] and the Kenizzite[s] and the Kadmonite[s].
Ko e kakai Kena, mo e kakai Kenisai mo e kakai Katimona.
20 And the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Rephaites.
Mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelisi, mo e kakai Lifeime,
21 And the Amorite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
Mo e kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Kēnani, mo e kakai Kilikesa, mo e kakai Sepusi.”
