Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield, [and] thy exceeding great reward.
Hathnukkhu, Abram koe BAWIPA e lawk vision lahoi ka tho e teh, Abram, taket hanh kai teh nange bahling lah ka o, na tawkphu hmu hane a len poung telah atipouh.
2 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house [is] this Eliezer of Damascus?
Hatei Abram ni, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, ca tawn laipalah ka o e na hmu nahlangva, bangmaw na poe han. Im e râw kacoekung teh Damaskas tami Eliezer doeh telah atipouh.
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and lo, one born in my house is my heir.
Hahoi Abram ni khenhaw! kai ca na poe hoeh. Ka im kaawm e ni doeh râw a coe toe telah bout atipouh.
4 And behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, saying, This shall not be thy heir; but he that shall come forth out of thy own bowels shall be thy heir.
BAWIPA e lawk Abram koe ka tho e teh, hete tami kaawm e ni nange râw coe mahoeh telah atipouh.
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now towards heaven, and tell the stars, if thou art able to number them: and he said to him, So shall thy seed be.
Hahoi Abram hah alawilah a hrawi teh, kalvan lah khenhaw! âsi na touk thai pawiteh touk haw, hot patetlah na catoun ka pungdaw sak han.
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Abram ni BAWIPA a yuem dawkvah, ahnie a yuemnae hah a lannae lah a khoe pouh.
7 And he said to him, I [am] the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
Hahoi kai ni hete ram poe hane hoi coe sak hane ka ngai dawk doeh Khaldean taminaw a onae Ur kho hoi nang kahrawikung kai teh BAWIPA doeh telah atipouh.
8 And he said, Lord God, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Hatei ahni ni Bawipa Jehovah, hete bangtelah hoi maw ka coe han tie ka panue han telah atipouh.
9 And he said to him, Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.
BAWIPA ni Abram koe a dei pouh e teh, kum thum touh e maito, kum thum touh e hmaela, kum thum touh e tutan buet touh âbakhuca hoi bakhuca buet touh thokhai loe atipouh.
10 And he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds he did not divide.
Hote hnonaw pueng ahni koe a thokhai pouh teh a lungui hoi a sei teh avoivang lah a hruek. Hatei tava teh sei hoeh.
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
Hote moinaw koevah langtanaw a tho navah Abram ni a pâlei.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Hatei kanî a khup toteh, Abram teh mat a i. Hahoi khenhaw! puenghoi hmonae ni a tho sin teh roumkalue.
13 And he said to Abram, Know certainly that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land [that is] not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Hathnukkhu BAWIPA ni Abram koe, na ca catounnaw ni ayânaw e ram dawk imyin lah ao awh vaiteh, kum 400 touh thung rektapnae hoi san lah ao awh han tie kamcengcalah panuek.
14 And also that nation which they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Hatei ahnimanaw san lah ka hno e taminaw kai ni lawk ka ceng han. Hathnukkhu hnopai moikapap hoi a tâco awh han.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
Nang teh mintoenaw koe karoumcalah na cei vaiteh matawng lahoi na pakawp awh han.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full.
Hateiteh a se palinae dawk hete ram dawk bout a ban awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh Amornaw ni thoesaknae kuep sak lah awm hoeh rah, telah atipouh.
17 And it came to pass, that when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
Kanî a khup teh kho bout a hmo torei teh hmaikhu tâconae hlaam hoi hmai paangnae hmaiim teh moi tâtueng e rahak yuengyoe a kâhlai.
18 In that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
Hote hnin dawk BAWIPA ni Abram hoi lawkkamnae a sak teh Izip palang koehoi palang kalenpounge Euphrates totouh,
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Ken tami, Kene tami, Kadmon tami,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Hit tami, Periz tami, Rephaim tami,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Amor tami, Kanaan tami, Girgashite taminaw hoi Jebusit taminaw e ram, na ca catounnaw ka poe toe, telah atipouh.
