Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Fear not, Abram! I am your shield and your very great reward.”
Phat chomkhat jou nung hin; Pathen in gaovin Abram aki houlim pin hitin asei peh'e. “Abram imacha kicha hih in, ajeh chu keiman ka huhding; kipa man jong atam atam na chan ding ahi,” ati.
2 Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai Pathen loupi pen nangma phatna na phatthei hohi keiman chapa kanei poi, ajeh chu nangman chate ding nei peh lou jeh in, ka insung a soh a pang Eliezer Damascus amapa bou hin ka gou alo ding joh in aum tai.
3 Abram said, “Since you have given me no descendant, see, the steward of my house is my heir.”
Pathen nang man keima chilhah ding a chikhai ding, neipe ta pon, hijeh a chu ka sohte lah a khat hin ka gou alo ding ahi tai.
4 Then, behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir; but rather the one who will come from your own body will be your heir.”
Pathen in ama chu ahoulim pin, “Ahipoi nangma soh hon na gou alo thei lou ding ahi, nangma a kona chapa um ding ama chun na gou alo ding ahi.”
5 Then he brought him outside, and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So will your descendants be.”
Hichun Pathenin Abram chu polama akou doh in aki hou pin, “Vanchung lam ven Ahsi ho khu simtem in nasim jou nah em? Hitobang chu ahi na chilhah atam ding dan chu,” ati.
6 He believed Yahweh, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
Chuin Abram in jong Pakaiya tahsan na dihtah in aneitan ahile hichu ama ding in dihchan nan akisimpeh tai.
7 He said to him, “I am Yahweh, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.”
Chujou vin Pathen in Abram ahoulimpi kit in, “Hiche gamhi nalo ding in na pe-ing'e tia Chaldea gam Ur khopia kona nangma na hin puidoh a Pakai chu keima kahi,” ati.
8 He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
Hichun Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai ka Pathen hiche hi kalo ding ahi ti ipia iti kahet doh thei ding ham?” ati.
9 Then he said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a dove, and a young pigeon.”
Hichun Pathen in Abram ahou lim pin ajah a, “Bongnou kum thum lhingsa khat toh, kelngoi chal kumthum lhingsa khat toh, chule vahui nou khat le vapal nou khat ka henga hin choi tan,” ati peh e.
10 He brought him all these, and cut them in two, and placed each half opposite the other, but he did not divide the birds.
Hichun Abram in hichengse chu ape doh in athat in, hichun ahapsat cheh in, ahap lang ton alupsah in hinlah vacha ho vang chu asemkeh poi.
11 When the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
Chuin muthongho ahung lenglhao vin hiche sa kikoi ho chu ane kigo uvin ahile Abram in muthongho chu anodoh jin ahi.
12 Then when the sun was going down, Abram fell sound asleep and, behold, a deep and terrifying darkness overwhelmed him.
Chuin nisa alhum dingkon in Abram ahung imut soh tan, chu jongle tijat umtah muthim lhangkhal ahung jing in amapa chu ahin jinkhum tai.
13 Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years.
Hichun Pathen in Abram ahoulimpi in, “Nangman thonlou dinga nahet ding chu na chilhah hohi gam danga hung mah thah diu ahiye, amaho se chu kum jali sunga mi bol genthei thoh'a ga um ding ahiuve.
14 I will judge that nation that they will serve, and afterward they will come out with abundant possessions.
Ahin keiman hiche nam sugenthei ho chu ka phulah ding ahi, chule phat ahung sot a achaina teng amaho chu hatah a nei le gou ahin nei diu ahi.
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace, and you will be buried in a good old age.
Nangman vang lungmong sel'a na pute heng na jot ding, chule na kum lhing set'a na hinkho kichai a na kivui ding ahiye.
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.”
Chule amaho hi khangli ahung lhin phat le hiche gam'a hi hung ki nungle kit diu ahi, ajeh chu tuchan gei hin Amor mite khan gitlouna hi pilhing lou lai ahiye,” ati.
17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between the pieces.
Chuin nisa alhum phat in mu athim tan ahile, meikhu belsung khat ah mei al-lenglung khat le meivah tobang khat ahung kitol in, hiche pi chu sa kihapsat a kikoi teni kah achun ahung kitol lelen ahi.
18 On that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I hereby give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—
Hichun Pathen in Abram chu hitin a kihoulimpi in, kinoptona aneilhon in hiche nichun, “Keiman nason na chilhahte kapeh gam chu hiche hi ahi, Egypt gamgi apat luipi dung gei Euphrate vadung gei,
19 the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
Gamsung tutua Kenites, Kenizzites chule Kadmonites ten atoupha se,
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaites,
Hittites mite Perizzites mite chule Rephaites miten atoupha se,
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
Amorites mite ahi-uvin, Canaan mite ahiuvin, Girgash miho ahi uvin, chule Jebus miho gam ahi uve,” ati.
