1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Aburamu na kĩoneki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Aburamu, ndũgetigĩre. Niĩ nĩ niĩ ngo yaku, na nĩ niĩ kĩheo gĩaku kĩnene.”
After these deades ye worde of God came vnto Abram in a vision saynge feare not Abram I am thy shilde and thy rewarde shalbe exceadynge greate.
2 No Aburamu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, hihi nĩ kĩĩ ũkũũhe, kuona atĩ ndirĩ mwana, na ũrĩa ũkaagaya mũciĩ ũyũ wakwa nĩ Eliezeri wa Dameski?”
And Abram answered: LORde Iehouah what wilt thou geue me: I goo childlesse and the cater of myne housse this Eleasar of Damasco hath a sonne.
3 Ningĩ Aburamu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩwagĩte kũũhe ciana; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata ya mũciĩ wakwa nĩyo ĩkaangaya.”
And Abram sayd: se to me hast thou geven no seed: lo a lad borne in my housse shalbe myne heyre.
4 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Aburamu, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Aca, Eliezeri tiwe ũgaakũgaya, no mũrũguo ũrĩa ũkoima mũthiimo waku nĩwe ũgaakũgaya.”
And beholde the worde of the LORde spake vnto Abram sayenge: He shall not be thyne heyre but one that shall come out of thyne awne bodye shalbe thyne heyre.
5 Akiumia Aburamu nja, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta tiira maitho ũrore igũrũ na ũtare njata, angĩkorwo ti-itherũ no ũcitare.” Ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo rũciaro rwaku rũkaigana.”
And he brought him out at the doores ad sayde. Loke vpp vnto heaven and tell the starres yf thou be able to nobre them. And sayde vnto him Even so shall thy seed be.
6 Aburamu agĩĩtĩkia Jehova. Nake Jehova agĩkenio nĩ wĩtĩkio ũcio, akĩmũtua mũthingu.
And Abram beleved the LORde and it was counted to him for rightwesnes.
7 Ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Jehova ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Uri-kwa-Akalidei, nĩgeetha ngũhe bũrũri ũyũ ũtuĩke igai rĩaku.”
And he sayde vnto hym: I am the LORde that brought the out of Vrin Chaldea to geue the this lande to possesse it.
8 No Aburamu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, ũngĩĩmenyithia nakĩ atĩ nĩũgatuĩka igai rĩakwa?”
And he sayde: LORde God whereby shall I knowe that I shall possesse it?
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta ndeehera moori, na mbũri, na ndũrũme, na o ĩmwe yacio ĩkorwo ĩrĩ na mĩaka ĩtatũ, o hamwe na ndutura, na gĩcui kĩa ndirahũgĩ.”
And he sayde vnto him: take an heyfer of. iij. yere olde and a she gotte of thre yeres olde and a thre yere olde ram a turtill doue and a yonge pigeon.
10 Aburamu akĩrehera Jehova indo icio ciothe, agĩciatũrania njatũ igĩrĩ, na agĩciara mũhari, o rwatũ rũkaringana na rwatũ rũrĩa rũngĩ; no nyoni-rĩ, aaciũraga ndaaciatũranirie.
And he toke all these and devyded them in the myddes and layde euery pece one over agenst a nother. But the foules devyded he not.
11 Nacio nderi ikĩharũrũkĩra nyama icio, no Aburamu agĩcingata, agĩciũmbũra.
And the byrdes fell on the carcases but Abra droue the awaye.
12 Riũa rĩgĩthũa-rĩ, Aburamu agĩkoma toro mũnene, nayo nduma nene na ya kũmakania ĩkĩmũnyiita.
And when the sonne was doune there fell a slomber apon Abram. And loo feare and greate darknesse came apon hym.
13 Ningĩ Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Menya na ma atĩ njiaro ciaku nĩigatũũra irĩ ageni bũrũri ũtarĩ wacio, na nĩigatuuo ngombo na inyariirwo mĩaka magana mana.
And he sayde vnto Abram: knowe this of a suertie that thi seed shalbe a straunger in a lande that perteyneth not vnto the. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreate them evell iiij. hundred yeares.
14 No nĩngaherithia rũrĩrĩ rũu igatungata irĩ ngombo, na thuutha ũcio nĩikoima kuo irĩ na ũtonga mũingĩ.
But the nation whom they shall serue wyll I iudge. And after warde shall they come out wyth greate substace.
15 No wee-rĩ, ũgaakua na thayũ, na ũgaathikwo ũrĩ na ũkũrũ mwega.
Neuerthelesse thou shalt goo vnto thi fathers in peace ad shalt be buried when thou art of a good age:
16 Rũciaro-inĩ rwa kana-rĩ, njiaro ciaku nĩigacooka gũkũ, nĩgũkorwo mehia ma Aamori matikinyĩte harĩa ho.”
ad in the fourth generation they shall come hyther agayne for the wekednesse of the Amorites ys not yet full.
17 Na rĩrĩ, riũa rĩathũa na kwagĩa nduma-rĩ, hakĩoneka nyũngũ ya mwaki yatoogaga ĩrĩ na kĩmũrĩ gĩkĩrĩrĩmbũka gĩgĩtuĩkanĩria gatagatĩ ka njatũ icio.
When the sonne was doune and it was waxed darke: beholde there was a smokynge furnesse and a fyre brand that went betwene the sayde peces.
18 Mũthenya ũcio, Jehova akĩrĩĩkanĩra na Aburamu kĩrĩkanĩro, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩndahe njiaro ciaku bũrũri ũyũ, kuuma rũũĩ rwa Misiri nginya rũũĩ rũrĩa rũnene rwa Farati:
And that same daye the LORde made a covenaunte with Abram saynge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue thys londe fro the ryver of Egypte even vnto the greate ryver euphrates:
