< 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.”
Tukun ma inge, oasr aruruma se Abram el liye, ac el lohng pusren LEUM GOD fahk nu sel, “Abram, nimet sangeng. Nga ac fah lisring kom liki mwe sensen, ac sot nu sum sie mwe usru lulap.”
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!”
Tusruktu Abram el topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, mwe mea nu sik mwe usru sacn, ke wangin tulik nutik uh? Mwet sefanna ac usrui ma luk uh, pa Eliezer, mwet Damascus.
3 Abram added, “You have not given me any children, so think about this: A servant in my household will inherit all I own!”
Wangin tulik kom ase nutik, a siena sin mwet kulansap luk fah usrui ma luk.”
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.”
Na el lohng LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel ac fahk, “Mwet kulansap se inge, Eliezer, el fah tia usrui ma lom, a wen se nutum sifacna ac fah mwet usru lom.”
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.”
LEUM GOD El pwanulla nu likinuma ac fahk, “Ngetak nu inkusrao ac srike in oakla itu ingo. Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah pus oana itu uh.”
6 Abram believed that what Yahweh said would happen. And because of that, Yahweh considered that Abram was righteous.
Abram el filiya lulalfongi lal in LEUM GOD, ac ke sripa se inge LEUM GOD El oakulla sie mwet suwoswos.
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.”
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Nga LEUM GOD, su pwenkomme liki acn Ur in facl Babylonia, in asot nu sum acn se inge tuh in ma lom.
8 But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can I know for sure that this land will belong to me?”
Tusruk Abram el siyuk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fuka eteya sik lah ac ma luk?”
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.”
El topuk ac fahk, “Use soko cow mutan, soko nani mutan, ac soko sheep mukul, kais soko seltal in yac tolu matwa, wi sie wule ac sie wuleoa.”
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.
Abram el use ma inge nu yurin God. El uniya, na fulungya kosro ah nu ke ip luo ac takunla ke tak lukwa, ip luo ke kais sie kain kosro oan tulani nu sie, a el tia fulungya wule ah.
11 Birds that eat dead flesh came down to eat the carcasses, but Abram shooed them away.
Won lulap vulture uh tuhwi nu fin ikwen kosro ac won uh, tusruktu Abram el luselosla.
12 As the sun was going down, Abram fell sound asleep, and suddenly everything around him became dark and frightening.
Ke faht uh fahsr in tili, Abram el motulla folosuwosla, na sangeng ac tuninfong tuyang nu sel.
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.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah mwetsac in sie facl su tia facl selos. Elos ac fah mwet kohs we, na ac fah arulana orek elos koluk ke lusen yac angfoko.
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.
Tusruktu nga ac fah kalyei mutunfacl se ma ac akkohsyelos, na ke elos ac mukuiyak liki facl sac elos ac us mwe kasrup puspis welulos.
15 But as for you, you will die [EUP] peacefully when you are very old.
A funu kom, kom ac muta nwe ke na kom matuoh, na kom fah misa in misla, ac pukpuki.
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.”
A ac fah sun fwilin tulik akakosr nutum meet liki elos foloko nu in acn se inge, mweyen nga ac tia lusla mwet Amor nwe ke na arulana yokelik ma koluk lalos ac fal in kalyeiyuk elos.”
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.
Ke faht ah tili, ac lohsrla acn uh, sie tup in e fofosr ac soko srokom in e sikyak ke kitin pacl ah, ac fahla inmasrlon takin ikwen kosro uh.
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.
Na in pacl sacna, LEUM GOD El orala wulela se inmasrlol ac Abram, fahkang, “Nga wulela mu nga ac sot facl se inge nufon nu sin fwilin tulik nutum, mutawauk ke masrol lun Egypt nwe ke Infacl Euphrates,
19 That is the land where the Ken, the Keniz, the Kidmon,
weang acn lun mwet Ken, mwet Keniz, mwet Kadmon,
20 the Heth, the Periz, the Repha,
mwet Hit, mwet Periz, mwet Rephaim,
21 the Amor, the Canaan, the Girgash, and the Tebus people-groups live.”
mwet Amor, mwet Canaan, mwet Girgash, ac mwet Jebus.”
