Kinohi 15
1 MAHOPE mai oia mau mea, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Aberama ma ka hihio, i mai la, Mai makau oe, e Aberama, owau no kou palekaua a me kau uku nui loa.
AFTER these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
2 I aku la o Aberama, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, heaha kau mea e haawi mai ai ia'u, no ka mea, ke hele keiki ole nei au, a o ka puuku o kuu hale, oia o Eliezera no Damaseko.
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?
3 I aku la o Aberama, Aia hoi, aole oe i haawi mai i keiki na'u; a o kekahi i hanau iloko o ko'u hale, oia kuu hooilina.
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4 Aia hoi, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai, Aole keia o kou hooilina; aka, o ka mea e hele mai ana mailoko mai ou iho, o kou hooilina ia.
And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5 Kai aku la oia ia ia mawaho, i mai la, E nana aku oe iluna i ka lani, e helu i na hoku, ina e hiki ia oe ke helu: i mai la kela ia ia, Pela auanei kau poe mamo.
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6 Manaoio aku la oia ia Iehova, a hooili mai la oia ia mea i pono nona.
And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 I mai la kela ia ia, Owau no Iehova nana oe i lawe mai nei, mai Ura o ko Kaledea mai, e haawi aku nou i keia aina i wahi e noho ai.
And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 I aku la ia, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, pehea la au e ike ai, e ili mai ana keia aina no'u?
And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 I mai la kela ia ia, E lalau oe na'u i bipiwahine akolu makahiki ona, i kaowahine akolu makahiki ona, i hipakane akolu ona makahiki, i manu kuhukuku, a me ka nunu opiopio.
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 Lawe mai la oia ia mau mea a pau io na la, a mahele ae la ia lakou mawaena, a waiho iho la i kela apana i keia apana e ku pono aku i kona hoa: aka, aole ia i mahele i na manu.
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11 A lele mai la na manu maluna iho o na mohai, hoopuehu aku la o Aberama ia lakou.
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 A i ka napoo ana o ka la, ua pauhia o Aberama i ka hiamoe nui; aia hoi, kau mai la ka, weliweli a me ka pouli nui maluna iho ona.
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 Olelo mai la ia ia Aberama, E ike pono oe, e lilo ana kau poe mamo i malihini ma ka aina e aole no lakou, a e hookauwa aku na lakou; a e hoinoia mai lakou e kela poe i na haneri makahiki eha.
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety 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;
14 A o ua lahuikanaka la nana lakou e hooluhi mai, na'u lakou e hoohewa aku: a mahope iho, e puka mai lakou iwaho me ka waiwai nui.
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 E huiia'ku oe i ou mau makua me ka malu; a e kanuia oe i ka wa elemakule maikai.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 Aka, e hoi hou mai no lakou ia nei i ka ha o ka hanauna: no ka mea, aole i lawa ka hewa o ka Amori i nei manawa.
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 A napoo iho la ka la, a poeleele iho la, aia hoi, nee ae la ka umuahi e punohu ana a me ke kukui e a ana mawaena o ua mau apana la.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
18 Ia la no, hoopaa iho la oia i berita me Aberama, i ka i ana mai, Ua haawi aku no wau i keia aina no kau poe mamo, mai ka muliwai o Aigupita a hiki aku i ka muliwai nui, ka muliwai o Euperate:
In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 I ka Kena, i ka Keniza, i ka Kademona,
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 I ka Heta, i ka Periza, me ka Repaima,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 I ka Amora, i ka Kanaana, i ka Giregasa, a me ka Iebusa.
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
