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.
Bangʼ ma, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Abram e fweny ni, “Abram, kik iluor. An e okumbani, kendo pokni maduongʼ moloyo.”
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?
To Abram nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, en angʼo ma dimiya to pod asiko ka aonge nyathi kendo jacham mwanduna en mana Eliezer ja-Damaski?”
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and lo, one born in my house is my heir.
Kendo Abram nowacho niya, “Pod ok imiya nyithindo; omiyo achiel kuom wasumbini maga ema nobed jacham girkeni maga.”
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.
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni ok nobed jacham girkeni magi, to wuowi ma owuok e ringri iwuon ema nobed jacham girkeni magi.”
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.
Nogole oko mowachone niya, “Rang polo malo kendo kwan sulwe ka dipo ni inyalo kwanogi.” Eka nowachone niya, “Omiyo mano e kaka nyikwayi nobedi.”
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Abram noyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye, mi Jehova Nyasaye nokwane kaka ngʼama kare.
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.
Kendo nowachone niya, “An e Jehova Nyasaye manogoloi Ur piny jo-Kaldea mondo amiyigo obed girkeni mari.”
8 And he said, Lord God, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?
To Abram nopenje niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ere kaka anyalo ngʼeyo ni obiro bedo girkeni mara?”
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.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nonyise niya, “Kelna roya bwongʼ, diel kod im mahikgi adek, adek kaachiel gi akuch odugla kod nyathi akuru.”
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.
Abram nokelone magi duto, nongʼadogi diriyo moro ka moro kendo okelo nusegi moro ka moro omanyore gi wadgi, to kata kamano, winy ne ok ongʼado.
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
Eka achudhe nopiyo e ringʼogo, to Abram noriembogi.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Kane chiengʼ podho, Abram nogore e nindo matut kendo mudho mandiwa noime.
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;
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ngʼe malongʼo ni nyikwayi nobed jodak e piny moro ma ok margi, kendo nolokgi wasumbini mi nosandgi malit kuom higni mia angʼwen.
14 And also that nation which they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
To anakum piny ma noketgi wasumbini, bangʼe giniwuogi gia gi mwandu mogundho.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
To kata kamano, inidag amingʼa mi itho gi kwe kiluwo kwereni.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full.
E tiengʼ mar angʼwen nyikwayi nodwogi ka, nikech e ndalogo ema noyud ka richo jo-Amor osemedore moromo kum.”
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.
Kane chiengʼ osepodho kendo piny oyuso, tago mar mach madum iro kod chuk mach maliel nothinyore mi okadho e kind lemo mag gik manoyangʼ ka.
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:
Odiechiengno Jehova Nyasaye notimo singruok gi Abram mowachone niya, “To ne nyikwayi, amiyogi pinyni, koa e aora mar Misri nyaka aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate.
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Bende amiyogi pinje kaka piny jo-Keni, jo-Kenizi, jo-Kadmon,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Refai,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Girgash, kod jo-Jebus.”
