Genesis 15
1 And so whanne these thingis weren don, the word of the Lord was maad to Abram bi a visioun, and seide, Abram, nyle thou drede, Y am thi defender, and thi meede is ful greet.
Poslije tih događaja Jahve uputi Abramu riječ u ukazanju: “Ne boj se, Abrame, ja sam ti zaštita; a nagrada tvoja bit će vrlo velika!”
2 And Abram seide, Lord God, what schalt thou yyue to me? Y schal go with oute fre children, and this Damask, sone of Elieser, the procuratour of myn hous, schal be myn eir.
Abram odgovori: “Gospodine moj, Jahve, čemu mi tvoji darovi kad ostajem bez poroda; kad je mojoj kući nasljednik Eliezer Damaščanin?
3 And Abram addide, Sotheli thou hast not youe seed to me, and, lo! my borun seruaunt schal be myn eir.
Kako mi nisi dao potomstva - nastavi Abram - jedan će, eto, od mojih ukućana postati moj baštinik.”
4 And anoon the word of the Lord was maad to hym, and seide, This schal not be thin eir, but thou schalt haue hym eir, that schal go out of thi wombe.
Ali mu Jahve opet uputi riječ: “Taj neće biti tvoj baštinik, nego će ti baštinik biti tvoj potomak.”
5 And the Lord ledde out Abram, and seide to hym, Biholde thou heuene, and noumbre thou sterris, if thou maist. And the Lord seide to Abram, So thi seed schal be.
Izvede ga van i reče: “Pogledaj na nebo i zvijezde prebroj ako ih možeš prebrojiti.” A onda doda: “Toliko će biti tvoje potomstvo.”
6 Abram bileuede to God, and it was arettid to hym to riytfulnesse.
Abram povjerova Jahvi, i on mu to uračuna u pravednost.
7 And God seide to hym, Y am the Lord, that ladde thee out of Vr of Caldeis, that Y schulde yyue this lond to thee, and thou schuldist haue it in possessioun.
Tada mu on reče: “Ja sam Jahve koji sam te odveo iz Ura Kaldejskoga da ti predam ovu zemlju u posjed.”
8 And Abram seide, Lord God, wherbi may I wite that Y schal welde it?
A on odvrati: “Gospodine moj, Jahve, kako ću ja doznati da ću je zaposjesti?”
9 And the Lord answerde, and seide, Take thou to me a cow of thre yeer, and a geet of thre yeer, and a ram of thre yeer, a turtle also, and a culuer.
Odgovori mu: “Prinesi mi junicu od tri godine, kozu od tri godine, ovna od tri godine, jednu grlicu i jednog golubića.”
10 Which took alle these thingis, and departide tho bi the myddis, and settide euer eithir partis ech ayens other; but he departide not the briddis.
Sve mu to donese, rasiječe na pole i metnu sve pole jednu prema drugoj; ptica nije rasijecao.
11 And foulis camen doun on the careyns, and Abram drof hem awey.
Ptice grabežljivice obarale se na leševe, ali ih je Abram rastjerivao.
12 And whanne the sunne was gon doun, drede felde on Abram, and a greet hidousenesse and derk asaylide him.
Kad je sunce bilo pri zalazu, dubok san obuzme Abrama, a onda se na nj spusti gust mrak pun jeze.
13 And it was seid to hym, Wite thou bifore knowinge, that thi seed schal be pilgrim foure hundrid yeer in a lond not his owne, and thei schulen make hem suget to seruage, and thei schulen turment hem;
Tada Bog reče Abramu: “Dobro znaj da će tvoji potomci biti stranci u tuđoj zemlji; robovat će i biti tlačeni četiri stotine godina,
14 netheles Y schal deme the folk to whom thei schulen serue; and aftir these thingis thei schulen go out with greet catel.
ali narodu kojem budu služili ja ću suditi; i konačno će izići s velikim blagom.
15 Forsothe thou schalt go to thi fadris in pees, and schalt be biried in good age.
A ti ćeš k ocima svojim u miru poći, u sretnoj starosti bit ćeš sahranjen.
16 Sotheli in the fourthe generacioun thei schulen turne ayen hidir, for the wickidnesses of Amoreis ben not yit fillid, `til to present tyme.
Oni će se ovamo vratiti za četvrtog naraštaja, jer mjera se zlodjela amorejskih još nije navršila.”
17 Therfor whanne the sunne was gon doun, a derk myst was maad, and a furneis smokynge apperide, and a laumpe of fier, and passide thorou tho departingis.
Kad je sunce zašlo i pao gust mrak, pojavi se zadimljen žeravnjak i goruća zublja te prođu između onih dijelova.
18 In that dai the Lord made a couenaunt of pees with Abram, and seide, Y schal yyue to thi seed this lond, fro the ryuer of Egipt til to the greet ryuer Eufrates; Cyneis,
Toga je dana Jahve sklopio Savez s Abramom rekavši: “Potomstvu tvojemu dajem zemlju ovu od Rijeke u Egiptu do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata:
19 and Cyneseis, and Cethmoneis, and Etheis,
Kenijce, Kenižane, Kadmonce,
20 and Fereseis, and Raphaym, and Amorreis,
Hetite, Perižane, Refaimce,
21 and Cananeis, and Gergeseis, and Jebuseis.
Amorejce, Kanaance, Girgašane, Jebusejce.”
