< 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.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame ʻi he meʻa hā mai ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ʻEpalame: ko ho ungaʻanga au, mo ho totongi lahi ʻaupito.”
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.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻEpalame, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e hā te ke foaki kiate au, he ʻoku ou masiva fānau, pea ko e tauhi ʻo hoku ʻapi, ko e ʻEliesa ni ʻo Tamasikusi?”
3 And Abram addide, Sotheli thou hast not youe seed to me, and, lo! my borun seruaunt schal be myn eir.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalame, “Vakai, naʻe ʻikai te ke foaki kiate au ha hako; pea vakai, ko e taha naʻe fānau ʻi hoku fale, ko hoku hoko ia.”
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.
Pea ʻiloange, naʻe folofola mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ho hoko ia: ka ko ia ʻe tupu mei ho fatu ʻoʻou ko ho hoko ia.”
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.
Pea ne taki atu ia kituaʻā, ʻo ne pehē, “Hanga hake ni ki he langi, ʻo lau ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻo kapau te ke faʻa lau ia; pea ne pehē kiate ia, E tatau mo ia ho hako.”
6 Abram bileuede to God, and it was arettid to hym to riytfulnesse.
Pea naʻe tui ia kia Sihova; pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia, ko e māʻoniʻoni.
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.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko au ko Sihova, naʻaku ʻomi koe mei Ua, ʻi Kalitia, ke foaki kiate koe ʻae fonua ni, ke ke maʻu moʻou.”
8 And Abram seide, Lord God, wherbi may I wite that Y schal welde it?
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te u ʻilo ʻi he ha te u maʻu ia?
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.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Toʻo mai maʻaku ʻae pulu fefine mui ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e kosi fefine ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e sipitangata ʻoku tolu taʻu hono motuʻa, mo e kulukulu mo e lupe mui.”
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.
Pea ne toʻo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ʻo ne fahiua ʻakinautolu, ʻo tuku fakaholo ʻae ngaahi konga kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fahiʻi ʻae fanga manupuna.
11 And foulis camen doun on the careyns, and Abram drof hem awey.
Pea ʻi he lolofa mai ʻae fanga manupuna ki he ngaahi ʻangaʻanga, naʻe fakahēhē ia ʻe ʻEpalame.
12 And whanne the sunne was gon doun, drede felde on Abram, and a greet hidousenesse and derk asaylide him.
Pea ʻi he kamata tō ʻae laʻā, naʻe hoko ʻae mohe maʻu kia ʻEpalame: pea vakai naʻe tō kiate ia ʻae fuʻu manavahē ʻoe fakapoʻuli lahi.
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;
Pea naʻe pehē kia ʻEpalame, “Ke ke ʻilo pau eni, ʻe nofo ʻāunofo ho hako ʻi ha fonua ʻoku ʻikai ʻonautolu, pea te nau tauhi ʻakinautolu; pea te nau fakamamahi ʻakinautolu ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau.
14 netheles Y schal deme the folk to whom thei schulen serue; and aftir these thingis thei schulen go out with greet catel.
Pea ko e puleʻanga ko ia te nau ngāue ki ai, te u fakamaauʻi foki: pea hili ia te nau haʻu mei ai mo e koloa lahi.
15 Forsothe thou schalt go to thi fadris in pees, and schalt be biried in good age.
Pea te ke ʻalu koe ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻi he fiemālie: ʻe pekia koe ʻoka ke ka motuʻa lelei.
16 Sotheli in the fourthe generacioun thei schulen turne ayen hidir, for the wickidnesses of Amoreis ben not yit fillid, `til to present tyme.
Pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata te nau toe haʻu ki heni; he ʻoku teʻeki ai fonu ʻae angahala ʻae kakai ʻAmoli.”
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.
Pea ʻi he tō ʻae laʻā pea poʻuli, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae afi kakaha kuo kohu, mo e maama ulo naʻe ʻalu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi konga [manu].
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,
‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava mo ʻEpalame, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u tuku ki ho hako ʻae fonua ni, mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe lahi, ʻaia ko e ʻIufaletesi.
19 and Cyneseis, and Cethmoneis, and Etheis,
Ko e kakai Kena, mo e kakai Kenisai mo e kakai Katimona.
20 and Fereseis, and Raphaym, and Amorreis,
Mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelisi, mo e kakai Lifeime,
21 and Cananeis, and Gergeseis, and Jebuseis.
Mo e kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Kēnani, mo e kakai Kilikesa, mo e kakai Sepusi.”
