Genesis 15
1 Some time later, Abram had a vision in which Yahweh spoke to him and said, “Do not be afraid of (anything/your enemies). I will protect you [MTY], and I will give a great reward.”
Amo hou fa: no, A:ibala: me da Gode sia: esala ba: su ganodini nabi. Gode da amane sia: i, “A: ibala: me! Mae beda: ma! Na da dima Gaga: su esala. Na da dima baligili bidi ida: iwane imunu.”
2 But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can you give me what I truly want, because I have no children, and the one who will be like a son and inherit all my possessions is my servant Eliezer from Damascus!”
Be A: ibala: me da bu adole i, “Ouligisu Hina Bagadedafa! Di da nama habodane ima: bela: ? Na da mano hame lai. Na bogosea, na hawa: hamosu dunu, Dama: sagase dunu amo Elia: isa amo da na nana liligi huluane lamu.”
3 Abram added, “You have not given me any children, so think about this: A servant in my household will inherit all I own!”
Amola A: ibala: me amane sia: i, “Di da mano nama hame iba: le, na hawa: hamosu dunu fawane da na nana liligi huluane lamu.”
4 Yahweh replied, “No! He will not be the one who will inherit it. Instead, you yourself will be the father of the one who will inherit everything you own.”
Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea sia: ema amane misi, “Amo dunu da dia nana liligi hamedafa lamu. Be diagofedafa amo dia da: i hodo hamoi, hi fawane da dia nana liligi lamu.”
5 Then Yahweh took Abram outside [of his tent] and said, “Look up at the sky! Can you count the stars? No, you cannot count them because there are so many of them, and your descendants will be as numerous as the stars.”
Gode da A: ibala: me gadili oule asili, amane sia: i, “Muagado ba: legadoma! Gasumuni idima! Be huluane idimu da hamedei.” Amalalu, E da ema amane sia: i, “Dia mano ilia da amo gasumuni ilia idi defele ba: mu.”
6 Abram believed that what Yahweh said would happen. And because of that, Yahweh considered that Abram was righteous.
A: ibala: me da Hina Gode dafawaneyale dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, Gode da A: ibala: me ea hou moloidafa hamoi defele ba: i.
7 Yahweh also said to him, “I am Yahweh. I am the one who brought you from Ur in Chaldea land. I brought you here to give you this land to possess.”
E da bu A: ibala: mema amane sia: i, “Na da Hina Godedafa. Na da di Ga: ladia fi moilai bai bagade E, amoga fisili masa: ne, amo soge lalegagumusa: guiguda: oule misi.”
8 But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can I know for sure that this land will belong to me?”
Be A: ibala: me amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Ouligisudafa! Na da amo soge lalegagumusa: habodane dawa: ma: bela: ?”
9 God said to him, “Bring a three-year-old heifer and a three-year-old goat to me, and a dove and a pigeon.”
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Di bulamagau aseme, goudi amola sibi gawali amo huluane da ode osodoyale baligi, amo gaguli misa. Amola ‘dafe’ sio amola musuni sio gaguli misa.
10 So Abram brought all of them and killed them and cut each of the animals in half. He arranged the halves of each one, side by side. But he did not cut the pigeon and dove in half.
A: ibala: me da amo liligi huluane gaguli misini, dogoa oudahida: le, la: idi afae la: idili ligisili, eno afae eno la: idili legei. Be sio e da dogoa hame oudahida: i.
11 Birds that eat dead flesh came down to eat the carcasses, but Abram shooed them away.
Amalalu, gasa bagade sio buhiba eno ilia da amo liligi wamolamusa: misi. Be A: ibala: me da amo sio sefasi.
12 As the sun was going down, Abram fell sound asleep, and suddenly everything around him became dark and frightening.
Eso da daloba, A:ibala: me da golai nanabunina asi ba: i. Amoga e da gasi dunasi bagade ba: beba: le, bagadewane beda: i galu.
13 Then God said to Abram, “I want you to know that your descendants will become foreigners living in a land that does not belong to them. They will become slaves of the owners of that land. The owners of the land will mistreat them for 400 years.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Hou noga: le dawa: ma! Dia fa: no lalelegemu fi da eno dunu ilia soge ganodini, udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane esalumu. Ode 400 agoane, ilia da amo soge ganodini se nabawane esalumu.
14 But then I will punish the people of that country that made them become slaves, and then your descendants will leave that country, taking many possessions with them.
Be Na da fa: no ilima se iabe dunu fi ilima se iasu bidi imunu. Dia fi da fa: no amo soge yolesili, gadili masunu. Ilia da liligi bagade gagumu.
15 But as for you, you will die [EUP] peacefully when you are very old.
Be di da ode bagohame esalu, gagoalumu, olofoiwane dia aowalali amoga bu masunu. Dia da: i hodo da bogole, uli dogoi ganodini ba: mu.
16 After your descendants have been slaves for 400 years, they will return here, and take control of this land and defeat the Amor people-group. Those people will, because those people have not yet sinned enough to deserve to be punished now.”
Be dia fi da asili, fi biyaduyale fifilai dagosea, ilia da guiguda: bu misunu. A: moulaide dunu ilia wadela: i hou da Na se iasu defei lama: ne amoga hame doaga: iba: le, dia fi da ode agoane aligili, bu misunu.
17 When the sun had set and it had become dark, [unexpectedly] a blazing torch and a clay pot containing burning coals from which smoke was rising appeared and went between the halves of the animals.
Eso da gudu sa: i dagoi, amola gasi da doaga: loba, ganagu amoga mobi heda: lebe ba: i amola hanu gadodili nene, amo da lai gebo hu dadega: i gilisisu amo ganodini udigili asi.
18 And on that day Yahweh made an agreement with Abram. Yahweh told him, “I will give to your descendants all the land between the river that is on the eastern border of Egypt to the south, and north to the huge Euphrates River.
Amo esoga, Hina Gode da A: ibala: mema gousa: su hamoi. E amane sia: i, “Soge amo ea defei da Idibidi hano asili hano bagadedafa ea dio amo Iufala: idisi amoga doaga: le, amo soge huluane Na da dia mano fi ilima iaha.
19 That is the land where the Ken, the Keniz, the Kidmon,
Amo soge ganodini dunu fi esalebe da Ginaide, Genisaide, Gadamunaide,
20 the Heth, the Periz, the Repha,
Hidaide, Belisaide, Lefa: ide,
21 the Amor, the Canaan, the Girgash, and the Tebus people-groups live.”
A: moulaide, Ga: ina: naide, Gegasaide amola Yebusaide - amo dunu fi huluane ilia soge, Na da digaga fi ilima imunu.”
